Cable Fitness Damping Modules Synchronized via Angle Sensor Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cable-motion fitness equipment with damping modules experiences asynchronous responses due to extended detection times, leading to resistance imbalances during user exercises.
Innovation Solution
The equipment incorporates an exercise assembly with an angle sensor, connected to first and second damping modules equipped with resistance sensors. A synchronous network is formed through communication between the damping modules and the exercise assembly, allowing the first damping module to control the resistance provided by the second damping module to maintain balance.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If damping modules are used to provide resistance for pulling a rope, then safety is improved and weight plates can be replaced, but the extended response time of the damping modules causes asynchronous operation between multiple damping modules, leading to resistance imbalance
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where angle sensors continuously monitor the offset angle of the exercise assembly, and this information is fed back to the damping modules through a synchronous network. When the offset angle exceeds a threshold, the system automatically adjusts the resistance of individual damping modules to correct the imbalance, ensuring synchronized operation while maintaining safety benefits.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple damping modules are used simultaneously, then more comprehensive resistance training is provided, but the extended response time causes asynchronous actions between modules, resulting in resistance imbalance
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses angle sensors to detect offset angles and implements a feedback control mechanism through a synchronous network. When resistance imbalance is detected (offset angle exceeds threshold), the system automatically adjusts the resistance of individual damping modules to restore balance, enabling stable multi-module operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts the resistance of damping modules in real-time based on the detected offset angle. The resistance values are not fixed but are continuously modified through the synchronous network to maintain balance, allowing the system to adapt to changing exercise conditions while preserving resistance balance.

AI summary
A cable-motion fitness equipment and a cable-motion fitness method thereof are provided. The cable-motion fitness equipment includes an exercise assembly, and a first damping module and a second damping module that are connected to the exercise assembly. The exercise assembly includes an angle sensor. The cable-motion fitness method includes: activating the exercise assembly, and the first and second damping modules, so that the first damping module is communicatively connected to the exercise assembly and the second damping module for forming a synchronous network; detecting, by the angle sensor, whether or not an offset angle of the exercise assembly when being operated by a user exceeds an angle threshold; and controlling, by the first damping module, a magnitude of a resistance provided by the second damping module when the offset angle exceeds the angle threshold, so as to adjust a resistance balance state of the exercise assembly.
