However, the acceptant exercising strength is different from each person and the health status of each person is also different. Therefore, the usage of the exercising device is limited. Some people develop a simple swinging device to decrease the difficulty of exercise and thus everyone can use the device easily.
The conventional swinging device includes a platform and at least one swinging unit for swinging the platform. When people stand on the platform, the human body can swing along with the platform and the muscle in body will be vibrated because of the swinging motion. Thus the exercise effect is achieved.
Because there is no complicated step to use the swinging device and the only thing has to do before using is standing on the platform, the swinging device is very popular for old men and children.
But there is still a limitation of the swinging device. Physically challenged persons, or people who are unable to stand and have to lie on the bed cannot stand on the platform to use the swinging device. They can only do some simple stretching exercising by others' assistance so that the body will become weaker and weaker.
Besides, some old people or patients having vertigo cannot have their necks shake for a long time and become another group that cannot stand on the platform to use the swinging device.
To solve the aforementioned problem, inventor invents an exercising device and the operating method thereof. The mode of the exercising device can be changed corresponding to a human body, and the swinging amplitude of the exercising device can be changed corresponding to the linear position of the exercising device. Thus the advantages of exercise strength adjusting and easy usage are achieved.

The slider 362 is driven by the horizontal driving unit 330 to move along the groove 350, and a moving distance of the slider 362 is limited by the two fixing blocks 352. The fixing board 353 is used to prevent the slider 362 separating from the groove 350 during the exercising process.
The pad portion 351 is used to decrease the noise from the slider 362 during the sliding motion and thus an unwell feeling of a human can be prevented.
Preferably, the pad portions 351 are sound absorbing cottons. The exercising device 120 further includes a plurality of base pads 220. The base pads 220 are disposed under the base 200 for decreasing the vibration effect between the base 200 and a surface where the exercising device 120 is positioned.
The swinging chair 400 is driven by the horizontal driving unit 330 to move horizontally in the rail 300 so as to change a horizontal distance between the moving unit 360 and the pivoting point 310. The mode of the swinging chair 400 can be changed corresponding to a human body via the open-close driving unit 440. Therefore, an angle d between the swinging chair 400 and the rail 300, an angle e between the swinging chair 400 and the supporting stick 800, and/or an angle f between the supporting stick 800 and the base 200 will be changed to make the mode of the swinging chair 400 changing more smoothly. By controlling the open-close driving unit 440 to change each of the angles, the variation of the swinging amplitude for different human part at different position will increase. The structures of the swinging unit 500, the swing driving unit 210, the open-close driving unit 440, the swinging chair 400 and the horizontal driving unit 330 are similar to the aforementioned structures of Fig.1 to Fig.
9, and there is no need to describe the details.
Fig. 14 is an exploded view of an exercising device 150 according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig 14, exercising device 150 includes a base 200b, a rail 300b, a swinging chair 400, a swinging unit 500, an elastic unit 930, a swing driving unit 210 and a plurality of base pads.
The structures of the swinging chair 400, the swinging unit 500 and the swing driving unit 210 are similar to the structures of the embodiment shown in Figs 1 to 9, the structure of the base pad 220 is similar to the embodiment shown in Figs 11 to 13, and there is no need to describe in detail. The elastic unit 930 is disposed between the base 200b and the rail 300b, and can be deformed to reduce an impulse caused by the rail 300b.
Fig. 15A is a cross-sectional view of one using state of the rail 300b, the base 200b and the elastic unit 930 as illustrated in Fig. 14, and Fig. 15B is a cross-sectional view of another using state of the rail 300b, the base 200b and the elastic unit 930 as illustrated in Fig. 14. Specially, a swinging motion of rail 300b is caused by the swinging unit 500, and a distance between the rail 300b and the base 200b is changed accordingly. As shown in Figs 15A and 15B, the elastic unit 930 is deformed by the swinging motion of the rail 300b. When the rail 300b swings from the highest point toward the lowest point, the gravity and the inertia force of the eccentric block result in producing an impetuous impulse toward a ground where the exercising device 150 (see Fig. 15) is disposed.
Thus the rail 300b and the swinging chair 400 cannot swing smoothly because of the impulse, and a user will feel unwell. Through disposing the elastic unit between the rail 300b and the base 200b, the impulse can be absorb by the elastic unit 930, and a user will feel more comfortable when using the exercising device 150.
The elastic unit 930 is comprised by the rail 300b in Fig. 15A while extended by the rail 300b in Fig. 15B. In other embodiment, the elastic unit 930 can only be to comprised but not be extended, and keeps an original height while the rail 300b is at the highest position.
Fig. 16 is a schematic view of an exercising device 130 according to yet another embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 16, the exercising device 130 further includes two armrests 910 and a chair cover 920. By the assistance of the armrests 910 and the chair cover 920, the user will feel more comfortable when using the exercising device 130. In Fig. 11 to Fig. 16, each of the exercising device 120, the exercising device 130, and the exercising device 150 includes the swinging chair 400, and the swinging chair 400 can be replaced by a swinging bed in other embodiments.
The swinging speed of the swing driving unit will affect the swinging status of the exercising device. As the aforementioned description, the swinging unit swings eccentrically to drive the exercising device swinging simultaneously. When the swinging speed of the swinging unit becomes higher, the exercising device will swing faster and the user will feel the body shaking up and down with small amplitude and higher speed. On the other way, when the swinging speed of the swinging unit becomes lower, the exercising device will swing slower and the user will feel the body swinging forward and backward. The swinging motion is smooth and the body swings in a circle. Further with the function of linear motion, the exercising device can be at different position and can have different swing speed so as to bring different feeling to users. Thus the user can choose a love way to swing.

When the user P is lying, his or her hands will be put on the armrest 910a, and the hands and the legs will be at a higher position than his or her heart.
Because the blood is concentrated on the hands and the legs for a seating posture and a standing posture, the blood hardly returns to the heart.
20 .. Therefore, the positions of the hands and the legs are designed to be higher than the position of the heart, and the blood returns to the heart from the hands and the legs to increase the blood circulating by the assistance of the swinging function of the exercising device 140.
Besides, the back portion 410a can includes a plurality of airbags (not shown) 25 and a plurality of massagers (not shown). Through the inflation and deflation motion of the airbags, and the swinging and moving motion of the massagers, a massage effect on back can be achieved. Similarly, the seat portion 420a can also includes a plurality of airbags so as users can enjoy the massage effect for leg and hip.

The swinging amplitude corresponding to the different part of the swinging chair becomes more diversified with the structure of multi-pivoting points, and the types of different swinging motion will be increased. For example, the swinging motion can be an up-and-down motion or a circular swinging motion. The smoothness of the open-close operation or the linearly moving operation can be increased with the structure and thus the comfortable feelings of users will also be improved.
5. When the swinging bed or the swinging chair further includes the supporting stick, the open-closed operation for changing the mode or the to swinging bed or swinging chair becomes smoother. The structure is stronger during the swinging process with the supporting of the supporting stick. The angles of the seat portion can also be changed so that the swinging motion becomes more diversified.
6. The sound making by the horizontal linear moving motion of the exercising device can be decrease via the pad portion which is disposed in the groove of the rail, and thus an operating noise can be prevented. Besides, a dimensional tolerance of the groove and the slider can be made larger if the pad portion is disposed in the groove. Therefore, a manufacturing cost as well as difficulties of manufacturing process can be reduced.
7. The mode of the exercising chair can be changed via the open-close structure of the exercising device and the operating convenience can be improved.
8. The different of the swinging speed of the swinging unit makes the user feeling different swinging motion. When the swinging speed is high, the swinging amplitude of human body is small, and the user will feel swing up and down with whole body shaking. When the swinging speed is small, the swinging amplitude of the human body is large, and the user will feel swing backward and forward with the body swinging circularly. Therefore, the exercising device can provides different exercising effect.
