Description

  The present invention is a boat rowing exercise device that uses a generator to train muscle strength, and can be used by both healthy and wheelchair users. The technology relates to exercise equipment that can be used in conjunction with map information for fun exercises, and that exercises of care recipients can be exercised with confidence by automatically setting up a training menu for doctors and sports doctors.

  Conventional rowing exercise equipment using a windmill is called a rowing ergometer and is widely used as a whole body exercise equipment. In addition, a boat rowing exercise apparatus (Patent Document 1) using a generator has been newly proposed.

  A widely used rowing ergometer is a structure in which the foot is fixed and the seat on which the athlete is placed with the grip equivalent to the oar moves in the front-rear direction, but is stable in the left-right direction or the roll direction It has become. The exercise equipment mentioned above cannot do the same exercise as on the water

  The rowing ergometer displays the average amount of exercise, such as scooping distance and time, pitch (number of scoops per minute) and lap time. An exerciser can only grasp the amount of macro exercise.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 2012-66068

  As described above, in conventional rowing ergometers, the seat is integrally mounted on the main body, and it is difficult for wheelchair users and elderly people with weak legs to sit down. There was no way for wheelchair users to maintain their strength by exercising their entire body while riding in the wheelchair.

  The rowing ergometer is a monotonous movement that is a repetition of a back-and-forth reciprocating movement, and the meter that indicates the amount of movement is also used for athletes of rowing athletes. There is a problem of how to have fun such as a game sensation that can be performed continuously and continuously even with monotonous exercise.

  In addition, exercise too much like a wheelchair user will cause injuries due to adverse effects, so how to ensure the optimal training menu and follow-up mechanism according to the health condition including physical fitness There is.

  In a leg-movable exercise device, it is necessary to place the return mechanism within the range of action of the foot (approximately 1 m). However, since the total length of the return mechanism is short, an elastic body such as rubber that can be used such as a fixed pulley has been used to secure a natural length that does not cause elastic deformation. Rubber was prone to deterioration and had a problem with durability.

  If the elastic body that generates the return force is small, it will not return due to friction or the like, but if it is large, it will act as a reaction force to the athlete, and will become heavier especially when exercising due to the latter half of the rowing arm force. Generally, the arm strength is smaller than the leg strength, and there is a problem that the arm strength tends to be fatigued.

  A generator using a magnet has a holding force and a large moment of inertia, and if it is directly connected, the return speed becomes slow, and there is a problem that it cannot follow a fast movement.

  The rowing exercise can be expected to stretch muscles because it exercises with knee flexion and ankles.

  The wheelchair is stable if it is seated in the center, but if the back is bent back to try to train the spine, the center of gravity moves backward from the wheelchair's large wheels, causing it to rotate backward, that is, fall backward . In particular, a person without abdominal muscle strength is likely to fall backward. It is required to have a structure that prevents the vehicle from falling backwards even when riding in a wheelchair.

  Since the wheelchair and the rowing exercise device are separated from each other, for example, when the bending exercise is performed with only the feet, the rowing type exercise device moves forward, so that a stopper mechanism is necessary.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems. As an exercise device capable of electrically setting and controlling the amount of exercise, both a wheelchair user and a healthy person can use it. Incorporating direction movements, moving on the map and displaying landscape photos on the monitor to make exercise fun, enabling a business model that allows the exerciser to provide the optimal training menu and follow-up service The purpose is to improve the performance, stabilize the position of the human body, and put the rowing type exercise equipment into practical use.

  It is preferable that exercise absorbing mechanisms that enable movement in the roll direction are connected in cascade, and a plurality of exercisers can be trained under the same conditions as on board.

  The exercise absorbing mechanism should be lightweight from the viewpoint of portability, but it is preferable to make the front part of the exerciser heavy so that it does not lift even if it is exercised with a strong force.

  It is preferable that a two-dimensional motion vector can be created and moved on the map by a back-and-forth reciprocating motion and a lateral motion in the roll direction.

  It is preferable to have a game characteristic that allows a landscape photograph of a point based on map information to be displayed on a monitor screen so that the user can travel in various places.

  It is preferable to have a network that can provide an optimal training menu for exercisers anytime, anywhere based on prescriptions such as doctors and sports doctors.

  Real-time exercise data of athletes, camera images that capture the movements of athletes, heart rate data indicating the burden on the heart, etc. are stored on a server, and sports doctors can monitor and provide guidance even if they are in remote locations It is preferable to be able to do this.

  It is preferable that a medium such as an electronic examination ticket can be used in place of the electronic medical record.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, since the boat can be rowed while riding on the wheelchair, it can be exercised without assistance, and the wheelchair user can become independent, and the whole body exercise increases muscle strength and the rehabilitation effect is enhanced. It can be expected to have the effect of opening up the path to return to work independently.

  Hereinafter, a rowing exercise apparatus which is an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing the positional relationship between the motion absorbing mechanism 1 and the wheelchair 2. The motion absorption mechanism 1 is inserted under the seat of the wheelchair 2 and the bottom of the motion absorption mechanism 1 is inserted deeply into the wheelchair 2 so that the exercise absorption mechanism 1 does not float even if the exerciser pulls the grip 4. .

  FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of the motion absorbing mechanism 1. The motion absorption mechanism 1 is a mechanism that transmits the force between the step 3 that is inclined to put the foot by the athlete and the grip 4 held by the hand to the generator 5 to generate power and absorb the motion. . Step 3 is movable along the axial direction of the pipe 9 described later. The grip 4 is connected to the wire, and the movement applied to the grip 4 is transmitted to the generator via the pulley. Among the reciprocating linear movements of the limbs, the linear movement in the back direction of the hand and the linear movement in the forward direction of the foot are defined as movements that generate kinetic energy, and multiple pulleys, clutches, chains, wires (or cords) ) To convert the linear motion of the motion generated by kinetic energy into the rotational motion of the generator 5, and to convert the kinetic energy of the exerciser into electrical energy, thereby consuming the kinetic energy. . This mechanism is a rowing exercise apparatus (Patent Publication 2012-66068) using the generator 5, and its structure has been described in detail, and is omitted here.

  The motion absorbing mechanism 1 is supported by two pillars 6 and 7 and is further coupled to the front and rear by side walls 8 so that the side walls 8 come into contact with the floor surface, and is composed of a narrow vertical surface. A pipe member, for example, a pipe 9 extends in the moving direction of the step 3 and the grip 4 and is connected to the columns 6 and 7. In order to ensure stability in the horizontal direction, the shaft 15 is passed through the column 6 and the shaft 19 is passed through the column 7 and fixed. The shaft 11 penetrating the side wall 8 was provided, the front shaft 15 was made longer than the shaft 11, the wheels 16 were provided at both ends thereof, and the wheels 12 were also provided on the rear shaft 11 to be brought into contact with the floor surface. With this inverted T-shape, the distance between the wheels can be increased by the horizontal shafts 11 and 15 and the wheels 12 and 16, so that the inclination can be suppressed. It was made possible to insert even under the seat. In order that the seating position of the wheelchair user does not greatly change the seating position of the healthy person, the motion absorbing mechanism 1 is accommodated in a space below the seating position of the wheelchair 2, and the pipe 9 is accommodated in FIG. Usually, the wheelchair 2 is provided with a cross member (not shown), which is a pipe member to be folded, provided at the lower part of the seating seat of the wheelchair 2 so that the pipe 9 abuts so that the position can be automatically adjusted. good. The portion movable by the foot is a mechanism that slides in the front-rear direction with the square pipe sandwiched between the three wheels 17.

  The seat 30 (see FIG. 4) is separated from the motion absorbing mechanism 1, the seat 30 and the wheelchair 2 can be selected and arranged with respect to the motion absorbing mechanism 1, and the motion absorbing mechanism 1, the seat 30 or the wheelchair 2 are provided. The wheelchair user can sit on the wheelchair 2 while being seated on the wheelchair 2, and a healthy person can be seated on the seat 30.

  The central axis in the front-rear direction of the seat 30 or the wheelchair 2 is installed on the same axis as the central axis of the pipe 9. When the arm 4 is retracted from the initial position and the grip 4 is pulled forward, the step 3 moves forward and the leg extends, and when the grip 4 returns, the step 3 moves backward. The load on the exerciser can be adjusted by adjusting the current of the generator 5 and the like. The reason for the current is that the current is proportional to the force, and the generated current is detected and constant current control is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 2, wheels 12 and 14 are provided for the shaft 11 passing through the side wall 8 and the shaft 13 passing through the column 7, and levers 18 are provided on both sides of the side wall 8. Thus, within a predetermined angle range, a rotational force is generated in the direction of the arrow (clockwise direction in the front-rear direction) as shown in FIG.

  The wheelchair has an L-shaped shaft 21 for fixing the step 3 for placing a foot. This L-shaped part has a structure in which the tip part is higher than the horizontal position. A pedal 22 is provided at the tip of the lever 18, and a concave portion is provided in the pedal 22. For example, it is like a space with only a rectangular outer frame. With this structure, when the wheelchair 2 moves to the motion absorbing mechanism 1, the pedal 22 is pushed down by the L-shaped shaft 21. Further, when the wheelchair 2 advances toward the motion absorbing mechanism 1, the bottom surface of the L-shaped shaft 21 enters and stabilizes the recessed portion of the pedal 22, and a force is generated to push the pedal 22 down by the weight of the exerciser. This force is transmitted to the side wall 8 via the lever 18 and acts as a force for pushing in the floor surface direction. That is, using the L-shaped shaft 21, the pedal 22, and the lever 18 on which the foot of the wheelchair 2 is placed, the motion absorption mechanism 1 can be pressed in the direction of gravity by the weight of the wheelchair user.

  FIG. 4 shows the structure of a seat 30 for a healthy person. The seat 31 that contacts the buttocks of the athlete is fixed to the ceiling plate 32, and a side wall plate 33 is provided in the front-rear direction and perpendicular to the ceiling plate. The side wall plate 33 is provided with a plate member 35 having lubricity to fill a gap with the motion absorbing mechanism 1, and the seat 30 is constituted by the vertical plate 34 perpendicular to the side wall plate 33 and in the vertical plane direction.

  The seat 30 can be inserted downward from the upper part of the motion absorbing mechanism 1. The seat 30 is supported by the wheels 14 provided at both ends of the shaft 13 provided through the pillar 7 and the wheels 12 provided at both ends of the shaft 11 provided through the side wall 8 and the like. ing. The seats 30 can be moved in the front-rear direction by the wheels 12 and 14 and are regulated by the stopper 36.

  In order to cultivate a sense of balance by giving movement to the roll direction of the motion absorption mechanism 1, a spacer 40 is inserted at the contact portion between the motion absorption mechanism and the floor as shown in FIG. Is generated.

  FIG. 6 shows the structure of the spacer 40. The spacer 40 includes a convex portion 41 inserted between the side walls 8, a horizontal plate 42 in contact with the bottom surface of the side wall 8, a rubber fixed to the lower surface of the horizontal plate 42, and a portion in contact with the floor surface having an arcuate curved surface, etc. It is comprised from the elastic body 43 of this. The weight of the motion absorbing mechanism 1 is transmitted to the elastic body 43 via the horizontal plate 42, and the contact portion with the floor surface is slightly deformed to increase the flat surface portion and reduce the movement in the roll direction. It is also possible to provide a hole 44 at the center of the elastic body 43 to increase the number of flat portions that contact the floor surface when the motion absorbing mechanism 1 is vertical.

  FIG. 7 shows a configuration for controlling the movement in the roll direction. From the position sensor 47 which measures the displacement of the gravity direction of the actuator 46 which produces | generates the force which pushes down this axis | shaft 45 to the gravity direction, and the axis | shaft 45 which contact | connects a floor surface is provided in the both ends of the left-right direction with respect to the spacer 40 Composed.

  The restoring force and inclination can be controlled by changing the force of the left and right actuators 46. Further, by calculating the difference between the outputs from the left and right position sensors 47, the horizontal determination and the displacement in the roll direction can be measured.

  FIG. 8 shows a structure in which the motion absorbing mechanisms 1 are connected in cascade. At the forefront of the motion absorbing mechanism 1, a fixture 51 having a long through hole fixed in the column 6 in the direction of gravity and a fixture 52 having a long through hole at the rearmost portion of the front motion absorbing mechanism 1 are provided. The long shaft 53 is inserted into the through hole of the fixture 52 and coupled. The long shaft 53 can transmit the movement in the roll direction even if the motion absorbing mechanism 1 is connected in cascade if the movement in the roll direction is transmitted by eliminating backlash in the left-right direction.

  In order to improve the portability of the motion absorbing mechanism 1, it is necessary to reduce the weight. However, if the weight is reduced, a phenomenon that the front is lifted by a moment when the grip 4 is pulled tends to occur. FIG. 9 shows a method of increasing the front weight. Therefore, a container containing a liquid such as water, for example, a PET bottle 55, is placed on the horizontal stable shaft 15 in front of the motion absorbing mechanism 1, and a horizontal plate 54 for preventing the fall is provided on the column 6 to provide an accessory case. A plastic bottle 55 containing emergency drinking water was stored in this accessory case, and the front weight was increased by the weight of the drinking water to prevent the phenomenon of lifting.

  In the above-described embodiment, the wheelchair 2 and the exercise absorption mechanism 1 are separated and pressed by the weight of the exerciser. However, as another embodiment, the exercise absorption mechanism 1 is forcibly fixed to the floor surface. But you can.

  The seat 30 for healthy persons may be placed on the motion absorbing mechanism 1 on the front side, and the rear side may be slid on the floor surface via wheels. In this case, the motion absorbing mechanism 1 can be held only by half of the body weight, but instead, the seat 30 can be brought into contact with the floor surface with a wide width, so that the seat 30 is stabilized.

  Although an actuator for controlling the movement in the roll direction is used, a restoring force can be generated with a coil spring.

  In order to increase the forward load of the motion absorbing mechanism 1, the water container 55 is mounted. However, a weight such as metal may be used instead of water.

  According to the above embodiment, a disabled person can use a rowing exercise device while riding in a wheelchair, can prevent a fall fracture, prevent a weakness of a leg, and a weakness of the whole body. It is suitable for rehabilitation of nursing care facilities in an aging society. Further, by replacing the wheelchair 2 with the seat 30, a healthy person can also use the rowing exercise apparatus.

  As another embodiment, there is a system in which a monitor screen is changed in the world sightseeing tour process as shown in FIG. 10 as a mechanism for continuously exercising. First, the initial position setter 68 determines where the exerciser starts from. In addition, the momentum gain unit 67 is set so that it can be selected whether the vehicle is walking, bicycle or car.

  The e-Rowing controller 61 controls the generated current and generator speed of the generator 5. The momentum is calculated based on the signal from the e-Rowing controller 61, and the magnitude (traveling speed) of the momentum is calculated by the momentum calculator 62 in consideration of the momentum gain unit 67 described above. It is detected from the rowing type exercise equipment, the amount of right and left rolls is determined by the horizontal judgment unit 63, and the course vector calculator 64 obtains the course vector based on the signals from these momentum calculation unit 62 and the horizontal judgment unit 63. It was.

  The navigation 65 is, for example, a GPS coordinate calculator, and a map of a dead-reckoning navigation based on a path of a path vector and a road or waterway or the like by the output of the path vector calculator 64 from the start point of the initial position setter 68 on the map. The position on the map is calculated by the matching method. Based on the calculated position information, the scenery in the course vector direction at the point is referred to a landscape photo information database (for example, Google (registered trademark) Earth) 66 and information is provided to the athlete via a monitor screen 60 such as a personal computer. provide. An exerciser adjusts the amount of exercise intentionally by looking at the scenery. Because the exercise changes the scenery on the monitor screen, you can feel as if you are traveling. By making it possible to set various locations around the world (London, Paris, ... New York ...) in the initial position setting, sightseeing tours around the world can be made by exercise, and an exerciser seeking a new travel experience, Provide a service to exercise continuously and sustainably.

  In the case of rowing, the determination is made based on the movement in the front-rear direction and the roll direction (tilt from the horizontal). There is a sightseeing tour as a mechanism that does not get bored. In order to perform the sightseeing tour processing, the left and right direction may be determined by hand movement (to the left and right) or voice. It can be applied to other than rowing type exercise equipment. For example, a bicycle rowing exercise bike or a running machine.

  In order to obtain a course vector, it is often performed when the utterance (right / left) of an athlete is recognized by voice recognition or turned left and right. A hand signal may be taken in by image recognition of the camera, and may be calculated using a motion vector in the left-right direction and a motion vector due to a back-and-forth motion.

  Functions such as sightseeing tour processing can be easily realized even with other sports equipment outside the rowing exercise equipment. For example, in a running machine and a bicycle row electric exercise bike, it is possible to give a left-right direction by image recognition or voice recognition of a camera. An electric exercise bike is suitable for reducing the burden on the knees of the elderly. This machine is easy for elderly people to use. Equipped with a meter that is easy to ride and easy for bicycle users to understand. In a running machine, it can be performed according to the position of the hand and arm.

  As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, there is a system that shows a service mechanism that allows an exerciser to exercise safely. A care recipient such as a wheelchair user extracts an appropriate exercise amount instruction 72 or the like from an electronic medical record or the like based on a diagnosis result from a doctor 71 or the like, and transmits it to the gym server 73 of an external sports gym via a network. . Alternatively, exercise amount instruction information from the doctor, actual exercise data, and the like are transmitted to the gym server 73 via the personal computer 70 for specifying the exerciser, using the electronic examination ticket 77 of the exerciser as a medium.

  A sports doctor 74 who has expertise in sports refers to the information of the athlete from the gym server 73, creates an optimal training menu for the athlete, sends information including safety management aspects to the gym server 73, and exercises The person can refer to the training menu at any time on the personal computer 70.

  When an exerciser tries to use a rowing exercise apparatus, first, the personal computer 70 is made to recognize an operation for identifying an individual or an electronic examination ticket 77 by an ID information reading device. The training menu is read and sent to the e-Rowing controller 61, and various parameters are automatically set so that an optimal training menu can be obtained. The e-Rowing controller 61 controls the generated current and the generator speed of the generator 5 and includes a current map and a vehicle speed sensitivity map.

  The exercise state of the exerciser is constantly monitored as an actual load by the e-Rowing controller 61, and the state of the heart is monitored by the heart rate monitor 75 or the like. When the heart rate is determined to be a predetermined value or more, the personal computer 70 transmits to the gym server 73. Then, image data captured by the camera 76 is transmitted to the sports doctor 74 via the personal computer 70, and appropriate advice is given by looking at the state of the athlete. When the heart rate further increases, the exercise load is automatically reduced by the e-Rowing controller 61 to protect the exerciser safely.

  The map information of the navigation 65 is not limited to the road, but may be a waterway or a test course, and moves on the map on the monitor screen. Since it can move on a two-dimensional plane as a ship or as a car and run using landscape photographs and image diagrams, it can be enjoyed not only as an exercise but also as a game.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the chain rewinding mechanism uses three chains in parallel using a fixed pulley 81 and a moving pulley 82. The moving pulley 82 is further connected to a moving pulley 85 via a wire 83 and a fixed pulley 84. It couple | bonds with the axis | shaft 86 fixed to the housing | casing via. Further, since the moving pulley 85 is coupled to the shaft 88 fixed to the housing by a tension coil spring 87 that is a metal spring, the moving pulley 82 is pulled by the tension coil spring 87 and the chain is rewound.

  Since the rowing exercise uses feet, hands, and the upper body, the movement amount of the chain reaches 2 m at the maximum, and the use of three parallel movements makes the movable pulley 82 approximately 70 cm. Further, the moving pulley 85 on the tension coil spring shaft is shortened with a movement of 35 cm which is 1/2 of 70 cm. Since the movable range of the stretcher is 1 m, the space of the tension coil spring 87 is 65 cm, and at least the natural length of the spring can be secured about 50 cm. It can be used stably.

  Up to now, rubber has been used as an elastic body, so it has been necessary to make a structure that can be maintained from the viewpoint of insufficient durability. However, since the durability can be significantly improved by a metal spring, there is no need to consider maintenance and the structure can be made compact.

  FIG. 13 shows the direction of the force with respect to the rowing stroke.

  The spring return force becomes a straight line 101 in a linear relationship with the stroke. In order to make the dotted line 102 with a constant kinetic force with respect to the stroke, it is necessary to control the generated current so that the momentum has the magnitude 103 of the difference 103 between the dotted line 102 and the straight line 101.

  The sick person cannot move the exercise equipment because there is no muscle, and can exercise if it can be controlled to zero momentum. That is, if the motor current 104 is controlled to the same magnitude in the direction opposite to the spring return force, the spring force can be canceled and the momentum can be made zero.

  Furthermore, in order to move the stiff muscles, when the motor current 105 is controlled, a constant traction force can be generated for the exerciser, and the exercise can be performed.

  Since the generator 5 is directly connected to the transmission mechanism, since the holding force by the magnet and the inertia moment of the rotor are large, the movement in the return direction is small only with the tension coil spring of the rewinding mechanism.

  Therefore, the current command value as the electric motor is calculated as in step 110 of the return control A at the start of return as shown in FIG. In step 111, it is determined whether the return speed, that is, the motor speed is low or high. If low, the process proceeds to step 115, the value X is given as the current command value, the motor speed is increased, and return 119 is set. To do. If it is determined in step 111 that the speed is high, the return control B is set in step 112, the timer is cleared in step 113, the current command value = 0 is set in step 114, the return 119 is set, and the number of revolutions is set more than necessary. Do not raise.

  As shown in step 120 of the return control B as shown in FIG. 15, it is determined whether the speed is high or low at step 121. At the end of the return control, the speed becomes low, and it is determined in S121 that the speed is low. In step 123, it is determined whether or not the timer has exceeded a predetermined time t1. Until step 123 exceeds a predetermined value, the timer is incremented at step 124, current command value = Y is calculated at step 125, and return 129 is made. That is, at the end of the return control, a motor current flows for a predetermined time t1, and a stretch effect is generated to stretch the Achilles tendon.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the protrusion 91 is inserted into the square pipe 9 of the rowing exercise apparatus and fixed with screws. This protrusion 91 is inserted into the upper part of the X structure below the seating surface of the wheelchair 92 and has a narrow tip, so that it has a function of center alignment during insertion. The protrusion 91 hits the X axis when the wheelchair rotates counterclockwise and functions as a detent. That is, the exerciser warps backward to train his / her back muscles, and the rotation of the center of gravity moves backward from the large wheel axle of the wheelchair to suppress the counterclockwise rotation, thereby preventing the exerciser from falling backward.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the rowing exercise apparatus and the wheelchair are separated from each other, and therefore, when the exercise of only the foot is performed, the forward movement is caused. Therefore, the rowing exercise apparatus and the wheelchair are placed on the same seat 95, and the end portions of the seat 95 are sandwiched between the square members 96 and 97 and fixed with screws or the like. Since the athlete and the wheelchair get on the seat, the seat 95 cannot move, and the end portion of the seat 95 acts as a stopper mechanism to prevent the rowing exercise apparatus from moving forward. The stopper mechanism is realized with a simple structure consisting only of sheets and square bars.

  According to this embodiment, a service by information design can be used by anyone at any time. Exercise data can be data mined and used for games and health management. Through the visualization of the amount of exercise, using information and communication technology, it is possible to provide exercise diagnosis, optimum advice, and the optimum training menu of remote specialist doctors and sports doctors as a remote exercise service, providing the athlete with safety and security it can.

  According to the various embodiments described above, repulsive force can be transmitted to the generator 5 and converted into electric energy, and exercise can be enjoyed and motivation can be enhanced. In addition, information on the amount of exercise can be collected electrically, and by importing it into a personal computer, IT technology can be used to connect to the Internet, enjoy the game sensation, and create various new services.

  Boat rowing exercise equipment uses leg strength, back strength, arm strength, and abdominal strength, so it is highly effective as a rhythmic whole body exercise equipment. It can be used in a wide variety of ways, such as for home, healthcare, business, nursing, and home use (it can be used at home). It is a sitting exercise, and there is little burden on the knee. The amount of exercise is large, just like swimming. It does not put a load on the knees, and it is more than the pool. Therefore, it can be used widely from children to the elderly.

  The rowing type exercise equipment is compact and can be applied in a space of 1 tatami or less (140 × 45 cm), and since the generator 5 is quiet, it is a mechanism sound of the chain and sprocket, so the noise is small. The rowing exercise equipment is the size of a table chaise longue, for example, L × D × H140 × 42 × 42 cm. If the boat rowing exercise device 1 has a structure in which a lid is attached, a chaise longue can also be used.

  Through exercise visualization and communication, it is possible to provide optimal services to athletes. The boating motion is converted into electricity by the generator 5, and the generator is controlled by using a power electronic disc by the control device, and a resistor and a capacitor are connected to the control device (electrical energy is consumed by the resistance and stored by the capacitor) It is possible to detect the movement of the rowing exercise equipment, connect the control device and the personal computer, and visualize it with digital technology and information processing. For example, the information necessary for the exerciser can be presented in an easy-to-understand manner with a graph or the like, and the repulsive force against the stroke can be shown on the graph. The current may indicate force and the rotation angle may indicate position. Digital information can be mined to make it easy to read. Furthermore, it is possible to create added value by using int. In response to the Internet society, you can create a mechanism that will create and enjoy the continuation and continuation of the movement. As a result, a new athletic market can be created to create a healthy society.

  A digital society is realized by visualization of movement. By controlling the power generation and measuring the amount of exercise, it is possible to visualize the exercise. Exercise settings and history storage can be performed. For example, real-time control can be performed and the information can be recorded in a recording device by automatic storage. It records the growth (and maintenance and decline) of the athletic ability of the athlete, and the athlete can also notice and correct it.

  It can be configured in cooperation with the Internet (Google (registered trademark) Earth, etc.) with various menus such as various rankings such as physical fitness, physical fitness age measurement and recommendation, and sightseeing around the world. As a result, it is possible to provide a mechanism for exercising continuously and continuously without causing the athlete to get bored. Raise participation awareness and enjoy the game.

  Good athletic content (metabolic countermeasures, healthy menu in a little time, muscle maintenance menu for the elderly, etc.), good information design (including communication, easy to understand, continuous motivation, new possibilities, etc.), good communication and recording ( Anytime, anywhere, with anyone, time lag, capacity, etc.) and good hardware (small, low cost, durability, low noise) can be provided.

  By combining power electronics, information design, athletic content, and digital communications, the exercise data is used to create the optimal training menu suitable for individuals at home, gym, on the go, small gym, public hall, resting place, nursing home Anyone, anywhere, anytime, anytime, anytime, in an environment where you can enjoy healthy sports and services in nursing homes and public places.

  Since the return coil mechanism is realized in a compact manner by using the tension coil spring 87 and the movable pulleys 82 and 85, the natural length and elongation rate of the tension coil spring 87 are within the safe range, and the durability is remarkably improved. For this reason, design as a replacement part is not required, and the degree of freedom in mounting design is increased, so that further compact mounting is facilitated.

  In order to reduce the reaction force to the exerciser due to the tension coil spring of the return mechanism, it has a spring canceling control that reduces the exercise load depending on the exercise position, so that the exerciser can exercise with zero load, that is, no exercise amount. . Even people with physical disabilities who are not muscular can exercise the whole body exercises such as bending and stretching the legs and stretching the hands using this exercise equipment, and expect rehabilitation function effects.

  Spring cancellation control was further strengthened, and the exercise load was controlled to zero or negative load (to promote exercise), so that even a person with a physical disability could move the whole body. The legs can be forcibly moved from the outside by a generator (/ motor), and a rehabilitation function effect can be expected.

  By the return control A and the return control B at the beginning of the return, a motor current flows, and a stretch effect that stretches the Achilles tendon or the like is generated. When the speed at the end of the return is near zero, it is driven as an electric motor to stretch the muscles of the exerciser, that is, it has a stretch function. There is.

  In order to reduce the return force due to the tension coil spring 87, the generator 5 is driven as an electric motor to generate a return force. In particular, the direction of movement is reversed, and at the beginning of return, the static frictional force is canceled out to a predetermined rotational speed. Since it assists as an electric motor until it reaches, it can be returned quickly, and there is an effect that it can follow an athlete's fast speed without strengthening the tension coil spring 87.

  The center part is aligned with the wheelchair, and the protrusion that penetrates between the X-shaped frame arranged in the left and right direction of the wheelchair and the seating surface is provided to prevent the wheelchair from rotating backward The effect of improving safety by preventing the athlete from falling backward can be expected. Since the protrusion 91 is inserted and fixed to the square pipe 9 of the boat-type exercise equipment with screws, the athlete can be reliably prevented from falling backward.

  Since the end portion of the seat 95 is sandwiched between the square members 96 and 97 and fixed with screws or the like to realize the stopper function, the positional relationship between the wheelchair with the wheel locked and the rowing type exercise equipment can be fixed. In other words, even if the legs are bent and stretched, the rowing exercise equipment can be exercised without moving forward, so that weak leg strength can be trained and the effect of being able to walk again can be expected.

  Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and modifications and the like can be made without departing from the technical idea of the present invention. It will be included in the technical scope of the present invention.
