200303776 玖、發明說明 (發明說明應敘明:發明所属之技術領域、先前技術、内容、實施方式及圖式簡單說明)
【發明所屬之技術領域I 發明領域 本發明係有關運動設備,且更特別在於一種自供電源 5 之固定式運動設備,其包括一貯存電池,用以引動該運動 設備之某些組件,以便令使用者在使用該裝置期間所感覺 到的阻力大體上維持不變。 C先前技44^ 發明背景 1〇 5主冊商標為 EFX(Elliptical Fitness Crosstraining®),且 由華盛頓州布什艾爾(Bothell)市之Precor有限公司所販售 ’ 一種能夠模擬廣泛範圍之踏步運動(包括滑雪、走路、 慢跑、跑步與攀登)的固定式運動裝置係為人所熟知。 Elliptical Fitness Crosstraining®之某些實施例係於美國專 15 利第6,146,313號中加以說明,其係明確地以參考方式併入 本文之中。 參考第1圖,簡單而言,一 Elliptical Fitness Crosstraining®機器包括一結合一前柱12之地板嚙合框架 10、一對飛輪14a與14b(其彼此重疊,故因此僅顯示飛輪 20 14a)係位於該框架10之後方,用以繞著一水平橫軸16旋轉 。足部連桿18a與18b之後尾端係樞轉地附接到對應飛輪 14a與14b,以便隨著飛輪轉動而繞著軸線16之環形路徑移 動。足部連桿18a與18b之前尾端係適合順著導件20騎乘, 以便隨著足部連桿18a與18b之後尾端繞著軸線16旋轉而沿 200303776 玖、發明說明 著導件前後往復運動,致使藉由該足部連桿承載之足部踏 板(或是足部支架)22a與22b沿著不同的橢圓路徑移動。具 體而言,第1圖顯示足部踏板在導件20對應一舉升系統24 之不同高度的三個不同角方位之移動路徑。在最小角方位 5 (鬲出水平大約10。)係顯示對應之足部踏板移動路徑26,此 通常對應一滑翔或是越野滑雪運動。導件2〇係顯示位於一 較陡峭之第二方位(高出水平大約2〇。),以及對應之足部踏 板移動路徑28 ,此移動路徑通常係對應一步行運動。第工 圖亦顯示導件20之一第三角方位(其甚至更為陡峭,高出 1〇水平大約30。),以及對應之足部踏板移動路徑30 ,此移動 路徑通常對應一攀登運動。額外或另擇地改變導件2〇之角 方位,改變導件20相對於框架之高度亦會導致足部踏板的 移動路徑改變。此種類之Elliptical Fitness 機器係能夠連接到一標準安培數之交流電源。 15 【^^明内容】 發明概要 本發明旨在提供一種自身供電之健身設備,諸如一自 身供電之Elliptical Fitness Crosstraining®機器。 更具體而§,本發明係提供一種自身供電,以模擬各 20種踏步運動之健身裝置。該裝置包括一框架、一導件,其 可移動地與該框架結合、以及至少一個連接到該導件之足 支架’该足部支架係構造成接受使用者之足部。該裝置 進一步包括一發電機,其可驅動地連接到該足部支架。該 务電機係藉由使用者施加於足部支架上之踏步運動加以引 200303776 玖、發明說明 動,以便產生電力。該裝置亦包括一電池,其連接到該發 電機,以便貯存至少一部份由發電機所產生之電力。最後 ,該裝置包括一舉升系統,用以自動地改變至少導件相對 於框架之高度與角方位其中一者。由於該舉升系統係藉由 5發電機與電池供應電力,故引動舉升系統將不會改變使用 者在運動期間踩踏足部支架之阻力。 根據本發明之一觀點,該裝置能夠構造成即使在使用 者停止踩踏之後,使電池能夠供應該裝置一段預定時間的 電力。 1〇 如同熟諳此技藝之人士的體認,使用一電池引動一健 身裝置之引動器(例如一舉升系統),以便對使用者維持大 體上固定的阻力能夠適用於各種之健身設備,且不限定於
Elliptical Fitness Crosstraining®機器。 圖式簡單說明 15 本發明之前述觀點以及許多伴隨的優點將藉由參考以 下詳細說明,並參考所附圖式而變得更為能夠立即體認與 更加理解,其中·· 第1圖係為一以簡圖形式顯示之Elliptical Fitness Crosstraining⑧機器的側面正視圖,其顯示使用者之足部 2〇在導件對於足部踏板的不同角方位之路徑,如同先前技藝 所知者; 第2圖係為根據本發明所形成之自供電力的EUipticai Fitness Crosstraining®機器之立體圖;及 第3圖係為一區塊圖,其顯示根據本發明所形成之自供 200303776 玖、發明說明 電力的Elliptical Fitness Crosstraining⑧機器之電子組件。 【貧方式]1 較佳實施例之詳細說明 參考第2圖,根據本發明,一自身供電以便模擬各種 5 踏步運動之健身裝置包括一框架10、一導件20,其可移動 地與該框架相結合、以及一對足部踏板(足部支架)22&與 22b ’其藉由細長之足部連桿18a與18b加以承載,該等足 部連桿18a與18b之前尾端係藉由導件2〇可移動地加以支撐 。該裝置進一步包括一舉升系統24(密封於一前罩25之中) 1〇 ,用以選擇性且自動地改變導件20相對於框架10之高度與 角方位至少其中一者。 因此’使用者能夠立即調整導件2〇,以模擬範圍廣泛 之踏步運動。這些組件一般係等同於以上在發明背景段落 中所參考之美國專利第6,146,313號中所揭 露的組件。 15 另外參考第3圖,根據本發明,自身供電之健身裝置 、v匕括务電機3 2 (後、封於一後罩3 4之中),其可驅動 連接到亥第與第一足部連桿1 8a與1 8b。當使用者之足 IM系位於第與第一足部踏板22a與22b之中時,發電機32 係藉由使用者之踏步運動加以引動,以便產生電力。在一 〇貝施例中,發電機32係為一包括一直流電永久磁性交流發 電機之二相父流電發電機,其產生與轉速⑻pM)成正比之 一正弦。欲藉由使用者之踏步運動引動發電機^,該 電機係可驅動地與飛輪14a以及⑷相連接,該等飛輪係 使用任何適當之傳動構件(諸如H傳動m是 200303776 玖、發明說明 皮π (未顯示))連接到足部連桿18&與1 8b(參看第1圖)。發電 機32係設計成即使當使用者以非常低的速度踩踏時亦能夠 產生黾壓,使用者踏板上之阻力係藉由一阻力控制器3 6基 於發電機32所需要之電流量加以控制,亦即,發電機32需 5要之電流愈多,則驅動該發電機32所需要的扭矩強度愈高 ,且踏板上之阻力愈大。例如,如此能夠藉由一中央處理 器(CPU)/微處理器60判定發電機32所需求之電流量,並傳 送一對應之命令訊號到阻力控制器36加以達成。該阻力控 制器36傳送一對應之場電流訊號(例如脈波寬調變訊號)到 10务電機:3 2作為反應。場電流訊號之變化改變了發電機3 2中 之父流發電機的場電流,亦即,增加交流發電機電場中之 電流會傾向增加其磁場的強度,從而增加了交流發電機對 於使用者之阻力;且降低該交流發電機電場中之電流會傾 向k低其磁%的強度,從而降低了交流發電機對於使用者 15之阻力。場電流訊號能夠藉由使用者之程式加以改變,以 便對使用者給予一所需程度之阻力。發電機32所產生之電 壓係用以供應該自供電源健身裝置的各種組件之電力,以 下將更為完整的加以說明。 此佈置之唯一限制為··每當實質上發電機32需要更多 20電流,用以引動此範例中之導件20時,踏板上對使用者之 阻力將會增加。當使用者希望持續運動,同時對於其踏歩 運動維持大體上固定之阻力時,如此情況並不令人滿意。 因此,仍然芩考第3圖,本發明提供一電池48的嶄新 佈置,用以引動舉升系統24上下移動導件2〇,以便在運動 10 200303776 玖、發明說明 期間使其對於使用者之阻力保持大體上固定,而無論該導 件20是否引動。具體而言,根據本發明,發電機”之電壓 係加以整流,並經由一交流電-直流電整流器38轉換成為 直流電壓,其接著供應一通用電力供應4〇之電力。該通用 5電力供應40將產生一絕緣之電力供應42(例如18伏特)、以 及一非絕緣電力供應44(例如12伏特)。為求安全規範起見 ,該18伏特絕緣電力供應42係連接到一數位接地線,其係 與連接到一類比接地線之非絕緣電力供應44相隔絕,以便 令使用者可能接觸到之那些任何由AC發電機32直接驅動 10的組件完全絕緣(參看第3圖中之「絕緣障礙」線)。該非絕 緣電力供應44係用以操作阻力控制器36。 在一實施例中,18伏特之絕緣電力供應42接著係轉換 成供電池充電器46使用之14.5伏特,用以對電池48充電, 該電池係用以供應DC導件舉升馬達(引動器)24之電力,以 15 便在舉升控制器52之控制下使導件20上下移動。如同熟諳 此技藝之人士的體認,其能夠使用任何種類之電能貯存媒 體代替一習用的電池。絕緣之電力供應42係亦經由一直流 電-直流電整流器54轉換成為8伏特,以便供應健身裝置之 顯示面板56的電力(同樣參看第2圖)。如同先前技藝中所熟 20 知者,該顯示面板56包括一個或更多顯示螢幕、以及一個 由一些可壓按按鈕所構成之指令操作台。該等顯示螢幕係 用以顯示各種對於使用者有用的資訊,而指令操作台係用 以令使用者能夠啟動或是程式化控制該健身裝置。來自於 DODC整流器54之8伏特電壓係進一步經由一線性調節器 200303776 玖、發明說明 58轉換成為5伏特,以便供應一 CPU(t央處理器)或是其他 週邊60之電力。該中央處理器6〇調節舉升控制器52、上顯 示器56,以及阻力控制器36之運作。 重要的是’由於電池48係用以供應導件2〇電力,故引 5動該導件2〇將不會令使用者感覺到踏板223與221)上產生阻 力變化(除了當使用者之程式化設定改變了發電機32所需 要的電流以外)。正常之導件負荷週期運作典型係為ι6·6% 表示引動(「啟動」)導件2〇每一分鐘,該導件2〇將會停 止引動(「關閉」)5分鐘。因此,電池48係構造成在「關閉 1〇」週期期間加以充電,且接著在「啟動」週期期間,來自 於電池充電器46之14.5伏特電力係供應某些電流,用以引 動該導件20,而電池48將提供其餘部份之電力。結果,當 使用者踩踏之同時,整個系統係完全利用使用者所提供之 能量供應電力,且即使當導件2〇引動時,踏板上之阻力將 15不會改蜒。另外,電池48能夠用以供應導件20之電力,且 同時在使用者停止踩踏之後維持cpu 6〇與顯示器面板56最 長達20〜30秒。 儘管已經顯示且說明本發明之較佳實施例,體認到的 是能夠進行各種修正,而不會脫離本發明之精神與範疇。 20例如,儘官本發明之自供電源健身裝置係特別參考美國專 利第 6,146,313 號中所說明之 E1Uptical Fitness
Cfosstraining⑧機器類型加以說明,本發明能夠併入具有 一可引動組件(例如一導件)之其他類型的自供電源健身裝 置,以便令其對於使用者之阻力大體上固定,而無論該組 12 200303776 玖、發明說明 件是否引動。因此,任何令使用者能夠將身體任何部份之 運動經由一發電機轉換成為電力的裝置(例如划船機、跑 步機、爬梯機、舉重機、運動腳踏車等等)皆可併入本發 明之中。 5 【圖式簡單說明】
