Description

Bicycle trainer
The invention relates to a bicycle trainer. Bicycle trainers are well known in the art.
A first type of bicycle trainer employs a bicycle without front wheel, and the back wheel placed in a frame whereby 5 the outer circumference of the wheel contacts a roller that resists rotation of the wheel.
A second type of bicycle trainer employs a complete bicycle, yet still the back wheel is placed in a frame whereby the outer circumference of the wheel contacts a roller that resists 10 rotation of the wheel.
Both types of bicycle trainer that are known in the prior art suffer from the disadvantage that the training exercise does not well reflect the sensation of true cycling, which obviously has to do with the bicycle being placed in a frame 15 that prevents the true life motions of the cyclist which are experienced when cycling outdoors.
It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a bicycle trainer which allows a training cyclist to better experience the training as an outdoor exercise, or at least as a 20 true cycling.
The bicycle trainer of the invention is to that end provided with the features of one or more of the appended claims .
Essentially the invention consists in providing the 25 combination of a treadmill and a bicycle with its front wheel and back wheel placed on the treadmill. This secures that at all times the cyclist can perform motions with the bicycle during the training that he would otherwise also make during an outdoor cycling exercise.
30 The bicycle trainer of the invention preferably has the feature that the treadmill is provided with a first sensor at its forward end, and a second sensor at its backward end for detecting the front wheel and the back wheel of the bicycle respectively, which sensors are connected to a controller, and 35 that the controller provides steering signals to a first motor and/or a second motor of the treadmill for controlling said treadmill's speed, respectively said treadmill's slope.
This feature arranges that the bicycle can be used 2 within the limitations of the treadmill that is used in combination with the bicycle. For this purpose it is further preferred that the controller is arranged to effect that the treadmill's speed and/or the treadmill's slope is increased upon the first 5 sensor detecting the front wheel of the bicycle. A still further preferred feature in connection therewith is that the controller is arranged to effect that the treadmill's speed and/or the treadmill's slope is decreased upon the second sensor detecting the back wheel of the bicycle.
10 Beneficially the bicycle trainer is provided with a safety sensor at the aft of the treadmill which is connected to the controller and that the controller is arranged to stop operation of the treadmill upon the safety sensor detecting the back wheel of the bicycle. This secures a safe use of the combi-15 nation of the bicycle and the tread mill.
A further desirable feature is that the treadmill has an angle sensor which provides an angle measurement signal to the controller representing the treadmill's slope, and that the controller is arranged to stabilize the treadmill's slope at an 20 actual angle as measured with the angle sensor that equates with a desired angle that is calculated based on a parameter selected from the group comprising a constant slope, a slope that is derived from a simulated or true life course, which parameter is optionally modified to an increased or decreased value depending 25 on signals received from the first sensor and/or the second sensor. This promotes the true life sensation when using the bicycle trainer of the invention.
The true life course which can be used as a parameter for the setting of the slope of the treadmill can for instance 30 be derived from Google Earth, and be calculated to be shown on a monitor in front of the user of the bicycle trainer. For this purpose it is preferred that the bicycle trainer has a monitor for showing the cyclist preselected parameters pertaining to the training and/or a simulated or true life course pertaining to 35 the training.
In order to keep close watch on the performance of the user of the bicycle trainer, the bicycle is preferably provided with a detector for monitoring the rotational speed of the bicycle's back wheel and/or passage of the bicycle's pedals for es-40 timating the cadence of the cyclist.
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated 3 with reference to a drawing of a bicycle trainer according to the invention. This bicycle trainer as shown in the drawing does not limit the appended claims, but merely serves to elucidate these claims in as far as any ambiguity would restrict a clear 5 understanding of these claims.
In the drawing a figure is provided showing schematically the combination of a treadmill 1 and a bicycle 2 standing on the treadmill. The essence of the invention is that the bicycle 2 is standing on the treadmill 1 with both its front wheel 3 10 and its back wheel 4, so that the bicycle 2 can freely move on the treadmill 1 during its operation.
In order to provide stability and a secure use of the combination of the bicycle 2 and the treadmill 1, the treadmill 1 is provided with a first sensor 5 at its forward end, and a 15 second sensor 6 at its backward end for detecting the front wheel 3 respectively the back wheel 4 of the bicycle 1, which sensors 5, 6 are connected to a controller 7. The controller 7 provides steering signals to a first motor 8 and/or a second motor 9 of the treadmill 1 for controlling said treadmill's speed, 20 respectively said treadmill's slope.
In accordance with the invention the controller 7 is arranged to effect that the treadmill's speed and/or the treadmill's slope is increased upon the first sensor 5 detecting the front wheel 3 of the bicycle 1. Further, the controller 7 is ar-25 ranged to effect that the treadmill's speed and/or the treadmill's slope is decreased upon the second sensor 6 detecting the back wheel 4 of the bicycle 1. The figure also shows that a safety sensor 10 is provided at the aft of the treadmill 1 which is connected to the controller 7. The controller 7 is arranged 30 to stop operation of the treadmill 1 upon the safety sensor 10 detecting the back wheel 4 of the bicycle 2.
The treadmill 1 has further an angle sensor 11 which provides an angle measurement signal to the controller 7 representing the treadmill's slope. The controller 7 is arranged to 35 stabilize the treadmill's slope at an actual angle as measured with the angle sensor 11 that equates with a desired angle that is calculated based on a parameter selected from the group comprising a constant slope, and a slope that is derived from a simulated or true life course, which parameter is optionally 40 modified in the manner mentioned above to an increased or decreased value depending on signals received from the first sen- 4 sor 5 and/or the second sensor 6.
In case the parameter that is used to determine the desired angle of the slope of the treadmill 1 is a true life course, this desired angle may be derived from data that are 5 available through the Internet, possibly through Google Earth. This is symbolized with computer 17 having an Internet connection, which computer is preferably wirelessly linked to the controller 7 of the bicycle trainer of the invention. The monitor 15 that is connected to the computer 17 may in that case advan-10 tageously be used for showing a moving picture of the true life course that is used for training purposes.
It is also shown in the figure that the bicycle 2 is provided with a detector 12 for monitoring the rotational speed of the bicycle's back wheel 4 and/or passage of the bicycle's 15 pedals 13 for estimating the cadence of the cyclist 16 using the bicycle trainer of the invention. The signal of the detector 12 is also preferably wirelessly transmitted to the controller 7.
The monitor 15 can be used for showing the cyclist 16 preselected parameters pertaining to the training and/or a simu-20 lated or -as mentioned above- a true life course pertaining to the training. However, for this purpose use can also be made of a monitor 14 mounted on the bicycle 2. Optionally the heart beat of the cyclist 16 can be monitored and, like the signal from the detector 12, preferably wirelessly be transmitted to the con-25 troller 7. The controller 7 collects and calculates data pertaining to the training and provides results of the training ex ercise that depend on the collected data, and shows them to the user 16 through either monitor 14 or monitor 15.
