[0003] As people's living standards improve, robot vacuum cleaners are gradually becoming integrated into people's home life. However, nowadays, the power source of robot vacuum cleaners is a brush motor, and a reducer is used as a transmission device between the brush motor and an independent wheel to reduce speed and increase torque, thereby providing power for the robot vacuum cleaner's movement. With the evolution of the times and the progress of society, people are increasingly concerned about their physical health, and fitness equipment is becoming more and more popular. Fitness can improve mood, combat chronic diseases, control weight, strengthen heart and lung function, and promote better sleep. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

Traditional tension fitness machines with adjustable tension are very bulky and require a large installation space, while small and lightweight iron bars cannot adjust the tension, making training very inconvenient.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a fitness device based on a direct drive motor, which has a fitness pull rope mounted on a drive motor, uses the drive motor as a pulling force drive, and is combined with a control system to control the pulling force of the drive motor, thereby realizing intelligent fitness.
