  • Publication number: 20230015920
    Abstract: The training machine assembly comprises at least one control device and at least one training resistance. Each of the at least one training resistance comprises at least one training resistance value, such as a force applied towards the user contact element, e.g. a handle. The training resistance value can also comprise a function or a vector, for example a function linking a speed of movement of a user and/or a user contact element and a force applied against said movement. The control device can be a control device for controlling the training machine assembly. The training resistance can comprise an actuator. The actuator can comprise an electric motor. The training resistance can comprise a weight. The training resistance can comprise another element configured to provide a resistance against a movement of the user. The training machine assembly can comprise at least one camera.

  • Patent number: 10004945
    Abstract: A training apparatus including a training element for a user performing exercises, an AC motor and a frequency converter being arranged to control the AC motor, wherein the frequency converter comprises measuring means being arranged to measure a voltage and a current of the AC motor and calculation means being arranged to calculate a magnetic state of the AC motor using the measured voltage, the measured current, a reference torque and a reference flux in order to generate a torque of the AC motor. The training apparatus further comprises a control unit having a machine control module being arranged to calculate the reference flux and the reference torque using an intended overall torque, wherein the machine control module is connected to the frequency converter and arranged to transmit the reference flux and the reference torque to the frequency converter.
