Composite Exercising Machine with Modular Training Units
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing exercising machines are limited to single training modes, such as waist and abdomen or weight bearing, requiring multiple machines for varied workouts, leading to space inefficiency and waste.
Innovation Solution
A composite exercising machine with a base frame, swinging, pulling, transmission, and resistance units, allowing for multiple training modes including waist, abdomen, legs, hands, and single-hand exercises, utilizing a seat and back cushion with adjustable mounts and pulley systems to accommodate various user positions and forces.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate exercising machines are purchased to provide various training modes, then the versatility of training options is improved, but the space occupied and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple exercising machine functions (waist training, leg training, hand training) into a single composite machine. The base frame supports multiple training units that can be used independently or together, merging the functions of what would traditionally require separate machines into one integrated system.
Solution Approach 2:
The composite exercising machine is designed with universal applicability across multiple body parts and training modes. The base frame, seat cushion, back cushion, and multiple training units (waist, leg, hand) allow a single machine to serve multiple purposes, replacing the need for multiple specialized machines.

3Area of stationary object
If a single machine is designed to provide multiple training modes, then the space occupied is reduced, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The composite exercising machine is segmented into distinct functional modules: a base frame, seat cushion, back cushion, waist training unit, leg training unit, and hand training unit. Each module can function independently or in combination with others, allowing the complex system to be managed through modular components rather than a monolithic structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The machine incorporates adjustable and movable components, including the swingable waist training unit that can move between positions, and the leg training unit with adjustable resistance. These dynamic elements allow the machine to adapt to different training modes without requiring completely separate fixed structures for each function.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables diverse training modes in a single machine, reducing space requirements and allowing for versatile operation, effectively training multiple body parts without the need for multiple devices.
Implementation Method 1
a swinging piece (21), a first linking piece (22), two second linking pieces (23) and a connector (24), with the swinging piece being pivoted to the base frame to swing relative to the base frame
Implementation Method 2
an end of the first linking piece being connected to the swinging piece, the other end of the first linking piece being connected commonly to one end of the two second linking pieces
Implementation Method 3
the retractors can accumulate a first restoring force, allowing the first restoring force to drive the one-way wheel to rotate idly on the spindle toward the second rotation direction
Implementation Method 4
the two transmission wheels being fixed to the spindle, and the other end of the third linking piece winding the transmission wheel, so that the one-way wheel can drive the spindle toward a first rotation direction

AI summary
A composite exercising machine includes a base frame, a swinging unit, a pulling unit, a transmission unit, and a resistance unit. By applying a first operation force to the swinging unit, the pulling unit is linked through a connector to drive the transmission unit. Or, by applying a second operation force to the pulling unit to drive the transmission unit, a one-way wheel and a spindle are driven to rotate toward a first rotation direction, allowing retractors to accumulate a first restoring force. Accordingly, the composite exercising machine can be used selectively in various training modes.
