Abstract

A stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device includes a stator holder, an axle, a circuit board, at least one magnetism detection element, a rotary knob, and at least one magnet. When the rotary knob is operated to rotate, a distance between a magnet and the magnetism detection element is changed so as to vary a magnetic force detected by the magnetism detection element to thereby change a magnitude of an induced voltage or generate a rotation turn signal. Based on the induced voltage or the rotation turn signal, a signal processing device identifies a resisting force level and calculates data of one of a resisting force magnitude and wattage that the resistance device applies to the stationary exercise equipment.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device, and more particularly to a device that regulates resistance induced in stationary exercise equipment.

2. The Related Arts

Various types of stationary exercise equipment are available in the market to suit people's needs for exercising. Among these various types of stationary exercise equipment, a stationary bicycle that is equipped with a flywheel is one of the favorites for most sports or exercise participants.

The market-available flywheel-based exercise bikes are designed to allow a user to adjust the exercise intensity for his or her own and a resistance regulation knob is often provided to regulate or adjust the magnitude of a resisting force induced during the process of exercise. A large resisting force means a large consumption of calories, and oppositely, a small resisting force consumes a small amount of calorie during the exercise. This makes it possible to achieve a desired result of exercise.

However, the known structures of flywheel-based exercise bikes involve an improper or extremely complicated design of mechanism. This makes the operation difficult or results in easy damage.

Further, in the designs of high-end flywheel-based exercise bikes, to accurately calculate the amount of consumption of calorie in the use of the exercise equipment, it often needs to know the magnitude of the resistance and conducting computation, based on available information, to determine data of work, resistance level, and consumed calorie for the exercise. However, the known designs suffer issues of poor accuracy, difficulty of calibration, and inaccurate result of calculation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Thus, the primary objective of the present invention is to provide a stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device equipped with a rotary knob.

To achieve the above objective, the present invention provides a stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device that comprises a stator holder, an axle, a circuit board, a magnetism detection element, a rotary knob, and a magnet. When the rotary knob is operated and rotated, the axle rotates, with a threaded member of the stator holder serving as a fulcrum point, to thereby generate a displacement distance to drive a resistance device to move downward. Simultaneously, a distance between a magnet and the magnetism detection element is changed so that a magnitude of an induced voltage or a rotation turn signal is changed due to variation of a magnetic force detected by the magnetism detection element. The induced voltage or the rotation turn signal is transmitted through a signal transmission wire or a wireless transmission module to a signal processing device, and based on the induced voltage or the rotation turn signal, the signal processing device identifies a resisting force level and calculates data of one of a resisting force magnitude and wattage that the resistance device applies to the stationary exercise equipment.

In another embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of magnets are circularly arranged on the stator holder about a center defined by the axle. The plurality of magnets have tops each of which is combined with an extension bar that extends upwards. The circuit board is arranged on the rotary knob, and the circuit board is located in a space between the axle and the magnets. A pair of magnetism detection elements are provided on the circuit board, and the magnetism detection elements are spaced from the extension bars by a distance in a horizontal direction. When the rotary knob is operated to rotate, the magnetism detection elements of the circuit board detect a magnetic force of the magnets, and in an entire range of the stroke distance, the magnetism detection elements are effective in detecting the magnetic force of the magnets so as to generate an induced voltage corresponding to a magnitude of the magnetic force or to generate a rotation turn signal corresponding to the rotation of the axle.

In a further embodiment of the present invention, a pair of magnets are mounted in the circular seat and circularly arranged about a center defined by an axle. A sensor mounted circuit board is arranged in a rotary knob in a horizontal direction. A plurality of magnetism detection elements are circularly spaced from each other and arranged on the sensor mounted circuit board at a location corresponding to the pair of magnets. When the rotary knob is operated to rotate, the plurality of magnetism detection elements detect magnetic forces of the magnets, so as to generate an induced voltage corresponding to magnitude of the magnetic forces or to generate a rotation turn signal corresponding to the rotation of the rotary knob.

In respect of efficacy, the present invention utilizes an arrangement of a stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation structure to allow an exerciser to operate, through a simple operation of rotation, so as to drive the resistance device to apply a corresponding resisting force to the flywheel of the stationary exercise equipment, and also to implement accurate identification of a resisting force level according to the variation of the stroke distance to thereby calculate data of one of a resisting force magnitude and wattage that the resistance device applies to the stationary exercise equipment.

A technical measure adopted in the present invention will be further described with reference to embodiments provided below and the attached drawings.

Referring to FIG. 2, which is a side elevational view showing the stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device 100 according to the present invention mounted on the frame 13 of the exercise bicycle 1, as shown in the drawing, in the instant embodiment, the resistance device 2 comprises at least one permanent magnet 21.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device according to the present invention mounted to an alternative exercise bicycle. The instant implementing example has constituent components that are generally similar to those of the previous implementing example as shown in FIG. 1, and for consistency, identical elements are designated with similar references.

In the instant implementing example, an alternative exercise bicycle la comprises a flywheel 11 and a pedal 12, in which the flywheel 11 is arranged behind the pedal 12. When a user treads down the pedal 12, the flywheel 11 is driven to rotate. The stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device 100 is positionable on and mounted to a frame 13 of the exercise bicycle 1a. Further, a reel 42 is mounted to the bottom end of the axle 4 of the stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device 100. A resistance device 2 is arranged at a location corresponding to and adjacent to the flywheel 11. A pulling wire 9 is connected between the resistance device 2 and the reel 42.

FIG. 4 is an enlarged view showing an end of the pulling wire 9 is wound around the reel 42, and the other end thereof is connected to the resistance device 2. The reel 42 is positioned at the bottom end of the axle 4 of the stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device 100, and is rotatable about the axle 4. Accordingly, a user may operate the stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device 100 to control the resistance device 2 through the reel 42 and the pulling wire 9 in order to adjust or regulate a resisting force applied to the flywheel 11 of the exercise bicycle 1a.

Referring to FIGS. 5-7, FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device 100 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 6 is a side elevational view showing the stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 7 is an exploded view showing the stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention in a condition where components are separated.

FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along line A-A of FIG. 6. The stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device 100 generally comprises a stator holder 3, an axle 4, a circuit board 5, and a rotary knob 6. The stator holder 3 comprises a threaded member 31 inserted into a central through hole of the stator holder 3. The axle 4 comprises a bolt section 41, and the bolt section 41 has an external thread that is screwable onto an internal thread of the threaded member 31. The axle 4 has a top end projecting beyond the stator holder 3 by a distance to form a free top end and a bottom end combined with the resistance device 2.

The circuit board 5 is provided with at least one magnetism detection element 51 mounted thereon. The rotary knob 6 is connected, by means of an axle connection portion 61, to the free top end of the axle 4. A stroke distance “d” is set between a bottom end of the rotary knob 6 and a top of the stator holder 3.

At least one magnet 62 is mounted to the bottom end of the rotary knob 6 to correspond to and face the magnetism detection element 51. In other words, the magnet 62 is arranged at a position that corresponds to the magnetism detection element 51 mounted on the circuit board 5, and is spaced from the magnetism detection element 51 by the stroke distance “d”.

When the rotary knob 6 is operated and rotated, due to the external thread of the bolt section 41 of the axle 4 being in screwing engagement with the internal thread of the threaded member 31 of the stator holder 3, the axle 4 is caused to rotate about a rotation center defined by the threaded member 31 of the stator holder 3 so as to generate a downward displacement in a longitudinal direction to drive the resistance device 2 to move downward.

Simultaneously, the stroke distance “d” between the bottom end of the rotary knob 6 and the top of the stator holder 3 is changed, so that a distance between the magnet 62 and the magnetism detection element 51 varies so that the magnetism detection element 51 detects a different magnetic force magnitude and generates, in response thereto, an induced voltage corresponding to the magnetic force magnitude or a rotation turn signal that is sent to the circuit board 5.

When the user forcibly presses down the rotary knob 6, by means of the guide of the threaded member 31 slidable along a vertical inner through hole formed in the stator holder 3, the axle 4 is caused to generate a downward displacement distance in a longitudinal direction to drive the resistance device 2 to move downward and apply a pressing force to the flywheel 11 to make emergency stop of the flywheel 11. This provides the present invention with a function of emergency braking.

Referring to FIG. 9, it is a schematic view showing the stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device 100 is set in electrical connection with a signal processing device 7. The induced voltage or rotation turn signal generated by the magnetism detection element 51 is sent to the circuit board 5, and is then transmitted through a signal transmission wire 8 to the signal processing device 7. Based on the induced voltage or the rotation turn signal, the signal processing device 7 identifies, through conversion, a level of resisting force and determines, through calculation, data of one of resisting force magnitude and wattage that the resistance device 2 applies to the flywheel 11 of the stationary exercise equipment 1. The signal processing device 7 may be further provided with a display device 71, which displays the data of resisting force level, resisting force magnitude, and wattage.

The magnet 62 can be of a known structure of magnet, such as north and south poles are respectively on two opposite surfaces of the magnet to measure an intensity of a magnetic field for conversion into an electrical voltage and calculation of a distance and a level. In a different form of magnet, two opposite surfaces are magnetized to form multiple poles and two Hall elements are adopted to count the number of turns, and multiple signals and multiple levels may be acquired or identified in each of the turns. Adopting multiple magnets may enable calculation of rotation turns.

The signal processing device 7 can be for example electronic instrument mounted on the stationary exercise equipment 1, a personal intelligent mobile device, a computer workstation, a gateway, or cloud device. The stationary exercise equipment can be for example one of an indoor stationary bicycle, a rowing machine, an indoor bicycle trainer, an elliptical trainer, a treadmill machine, a climbing trainer, a jogging machine, and a spinner bike.

When the rotary knob 6 is rotated by the user, the rotary knob 6 is rotatable about the axle 4 through the rotatable ring member 65, so that the magnetism detection elements 51 on the circuit board 5 detect the magnetic force of each of the magnets 62. Since each of the magnets 62 is provided with an extension bar 63 mounted thereto, in the entire range of the stroke distance “d”, the magnetism detection elements 51 may effectively detect the magnetic force of each of the magnets 62 to thereby generate an induced voltage or a rotation turn signal fed to the circuit board 5.
