MIDSYR Electromagnetic Resistance System for Full-Body Workout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current muscle development systems are limited in their ability to simultaneously and effectively exercise the entire body, particularly the chest, upper limbs, and lower limbs, with insufficient options for intensity, sequence, and duration customization, making them less effective for comprehensive muscle development and rehabilitation.
Innovation Solution
The Muscular Integral Development System for Resistance (MIDSYR) uses a linear electromagnet to transmit force through wires attached to removable bands across the body, allowing users to customize the intensity, sequence, and duration of workouts, with a control system that includes a PLC unit and touch screen for programming, and options for power sources like electric motors, hydraulic pumps, or pneumatic compressors.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple separate exercise machines are used to target different muscle groups, then each muscle group can be exercised with dedicated equipment, but the system complexity and space requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple exercise functions into a single integrated machine that can simultaneously or sequentially target chest, upper limbs, and lower limbs through a unified mechanical system with shared components such as the frame, power source, and control system
Solution Approach 2:
The exercise machine is designed with universal applicability to exercise multiple muscle groups using a single device, featuring adjustable resistance mechanisms and programmable sequences that can be customized for different workout objectives
2Adaptability or versatility
If fixed workout programs are used in exercise systems, then the device complexity is reduced, but the adaptability to different user needs and rehabilitation requirements decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The control system is designed to be dynamically adjustable, allowing users to programmatically customize workout parameters such as resistance levels, exercise sequences, duration, and intensity based on individual fitness goals or rehabilitation needs
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables modification of multiple workout parameters including force magnitude, exercise timing sequences, and resistance levels through programmable control, allowing adaptation to different user requirements without changing the physical hardware configuration
3Productivity
If simultaneous resistance effort is applied to multiple body parts, then comprehensive muscle development is achieved, but the force transmission system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The force transmission system is segmented into multiple independent cable or linkage mechanisms, each responsible for transmitting resistance force to a specific body part, allowing simultaneous multi-joint exercise while maintaining manageable system architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs intermediary mechanical elements such as pulleys, cables, or linkages that facilitate force transmission from the power source to multiple exercise points, enabling simultaneous resistance application across different muscle groups through a coordinated mechanical system
