Method for adjusting vibration magnitude and exerciser for adjusting vibration magnitude
A method and exerciser for adjusting vibration magnitude includes installing a vibration module unit to a frame and a vibration magnitude adjusting unit is connected to the vibration module unit. A circuit-controller controls the vibration module unit and the vibration magnitude adjusting unit. The circuit-controller is connected with a user-exerciser interface. A cable is connected between the user and the vibration magnitude adjusting unit via the user-exerciser interface such that the vibration can be transferred to a pulling member of the cable.
The present invention relates to a method for adjusting vibration magnitude of an exerciser and the exerciser providing adjustable vibration magnitude.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA conventional exerciser 60 is shown in
Another conventional exerciser 70 is disclosed in
The first exerciser cannot provide vibration to the user and the second exerciser can only provide fixed vibration magnitude.
The present invention intends to provide an exerciser which includes a vibration module unit which provides vibration to the user via a user-exerciser interface which allows the user to adjust the magnitude of the vibration.
The present invention further provides a method for adjusting vibration magnitude and includes a step of using a vibration module unit, a step of installing a vibration magnitude adjusting unit, a step of installing a circuit-controller to the vibration magnitude adjusting unit and a step of operating a cable connected between the user and the vibration magnitude adjusting unit via a user-exerciser interface.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to a method for adjusting vibration magnitude and comprises a step of installing a vibration module unit to a frame; a step of installing a vibration magnitude adjusting unit to the vibration module unit; a step of installing a circuit-controller which controls the vibration module unit and the vibration magnitude adjusting unit, the circuit-controller connected with a user-exerciser interface, and a step of operating a cable connected between the user and the vibration magnitude adjusting unit via the user-exerciser interface, vibration being transferred to a pulling member of the cable.
The present invention also provides an exerciser which comprises a frame having a cable connected thereto and the cable has one end connected with at least one weight or directly connected to a connection member on a vibration module unit. The other end of the cable is connected with a pulling member which is held by a user. A user-exerciser interface is connected to the frame and has a control panel and electrically connected to the vibration module unit. The vibration module unit includes a driving unit, a swinging unit and a vibration magnitude adjusting unit. The connection member is connected to the swinging unit and the cable. The driving unit includes a circuit-controller which controls an operation of the swinging unit so as to provide vibration to the connection member. The vibration magnitude adjusting unit is controlled by the circuit-controller.
The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
Referring to
Referring to
The vibration module unit “C” includes a driving unit 20, a swinging unit 30 and a vibration magnitude adjusting unit 40. The connection member 38 is connected to the swinging unit 30 and the cable 53. As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
When the threaded rod 44 is rotated at a proper speed via the speed reduction unit 42, the driving frame 35 moves relative to the threaded rod 44 so that the plates 351 are moved back and forth in the slot 341. That is to say, the pivot point “c” is moved relative to the base 10. When the pivot point “c” moves to left, the second link 34 has a longer arm on the right end and the magnitude is increased, vice versa.
As shown in
While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
