As following description more downwards, pedal assembly 12 lockables are not so that pivot around rear portion axis 16.When locking, pedal assembly be with 18 the single non-pivot treadmill formula surface of marking time totally is provided effectively.By in the body-building device assembly process or the length of regulating one or two screw-button 134,136 afterwards via the rotation of bar 142, the height of two pedals can accurately be aimed at, and makes two to trample the surface of marking time that band combines the aligning that is provided at latched position.
Interconnection structure 78 (for example Swing Arm assembly) is with left-hand tread plate and right-hand tread plate interconnection, make when a pedal (for example left-hand tread plate) pivots downwards around rear portion pivot axis 16, another pedal (for example right-hand tread plate) upwards pivots, and then pivots downwards in phase around the rear portion pivot axis separately.Thus, two pedals interconnect in the mode that the ascending stair motion is provided, and moving downward of one of them pedal is accompanied by moving upward of another pedal, and vice versa.In this ascending stair moved, no matter be to combine separately or with the motion of marking time, Swing Arm 112 centered on axis of oscillation 120 pivots or waves.
With reference now to Figure 10-14 and 16A, 16B-20A, 20B,, describe the climbing formula body-building that provides by body-building device 10 in more detail below.User's (after this being called " user ") of signal is expressed as towards preceding use in Figure 16 B-20B.User's walking and device construction forward becomes the climbing formula to use, and promptly pedal moves back and forth.Shown pin movement representation has only a user.In some cases, pedal 12 can topmost and between the nethermost position not move, but moves on the point therein.In some cases, the user can have than shown in short or long marking time.In some cases, the user is walking backward, perhaps can towards after, perhaps can towards the back and walking backward.
In Figure 10 and 16A, left-hand tread plate 12A is at lower position, and right-hand tread plate 12B is in the higher position.With reference to Figure 10 and 14, the left side of Swing Arm 118 pivots downwards, and the right side of Swing Arm upwards pivots.In Figure 16 B, the user is expressed as its right crus of diaphragm forward and trample on the right side on the front portion of band.On the user's orientation shown in Figure 16 B, in using towards preceding climbing formula, user's left leg will downwards and extend back, and wherein most of weight of user is on left-hand tread plate.User's right leg will be in the knee bending, and extends forward, makes user's right crus of diaphragm begin to press down on right-hand tread plate.From the orientation shown in Figure 16 B, the user changes its weight so that realize balance between right leg and left leg, and begins to press down with its right leg, so that to the lower compression right-hand tread plate.Because the motion of band, bipod will move backward from position shown in Figure 16 B.
Figure 11,17A and 17B are illustrated in the orientation of device 10 and user on the position after the situation shown in Figure 10,16A and the 16B.Right-hand tread plate 12B presses down via waving interconnection structure 78, causes left-hand tread plate 12A to begin to raise.User's right crus of diaphragm from the position shown in Figure 16 B backward and move downward.User's left foot from the position shown in Figure 16 B backward and move upward.
Figure 12,18A and 18B represent by the right-hand tread plate 12B in the roughly centre position of its upward stroke and by its left-hand tread plate 12A to the roughly centre position of down stroke.Therefore, pedal assembly is almost on the equal height on the framework 14, and endless belt 18 is equally on equal height.Shown in Figure 18 B, user's right crus of diaphragm and leg are from the position shown in Figure 17 B backward and move downward.User's left foot from the position shown in Figure 16 B backward and move upward.At this moment, the user begins in marking time forward to trample band from a left side and lifts left foot, and is therefore, left back with lifting and the user refers to the tripe conversion with left foot.Usually, now more weight is on right-hand tread plate, rather than on the left-hand tread plate.
After the orientation shown in Figure 12,18A and the 18B, right-hand tread plate 12B continues it and moves downward, and left-hand tread plate 12A continues it and move upward, up to the orientation shown in Figure 13,19A and the 19B.In Figure 13,19A and 19B, left-hand tread plate is than right-hand tread plate height, and Swing Arm 112 makes its right side lower than its left side around roll pivot axis 120 pivots.On this position, user's right leg continuously backward and move downward.The user lifts right leg and leaves left-hand tread plate and travel forward.In the higher position of left-hand tread plate roughly, the user will trample on the front portion of band with its left threading.The all weight of user is on right-hand tread plate, till the user is placed on its left foot on the left-hand tread plate.The user then provides downward power on right-hand tread plate, force left-hand tread plate upwards.
Figure 14,20A and 20B represent right-hand tread plate 12B roughly in its extreme lower position, and expression left-hand tread plate 12A is roughly in its extreme higher position.At this moment, the user steps on downwards on the front portion 22 of left-hand tread plate, and beginning presses down with left leg.The user begins to lift right leg equally.Downward power on the left-hand tread plate will be delivered to right-hand tread plate via interconnection structure 78, cause right-hand tread plate to begin to lift.
Figure 16 A, 16B-20A, 20B represent the reciprocating half cycles of pedal, and promptly left-hand tread plate moves to the higher position from lower position, and right-hand tread plate moves to lower position from the higher position.From certain position motion and get back to same position and represent, its mode is comprise the complete upward stroke (from the lower position to the higher position) of pedal and pedal complete to down stroke (from the higher position to the lower position) by a pedal in complete climbing formula body-building circulation.For example, will comprise that from the ascending stair circulation of the lower position (higher position of right-hand tread plate) of left-hand tread plate beginning left-hand tread plate moves upward to the higher position from lower position, and then get back to its lower position downwards.In another example, from the ascending stair circulation of the point midway (seeing Figure 18) of left-hand tread plate beginning will comprise left-hand tread plate from lower position move upward, move downward from the higher position, by the centre position and to lower position, and move upward and get back to the centre position.The order that pedal moves up and down is not a subject matter.Therefore, moving upward can be to move downward subsequently, and perhaps moving downward can be to move upward subsequently.
With reference to Figure 10 and other view, in an application-specific, body-building device comprises ascending stair sensor 144, this sensor provide with each of each pedal to the corresponding output pulse of down stroke.The ascending stair sensor adopts second spring switch 146, and switch comprises magnet 148 and pick-up 150.Magnet is connected to from the end of Swing Arm 112 upwardly extending supports 152.Support is orientated magnet, makes its swing by being installed in and waving the pick-up that cross member 114 is connected.When each magnet 148 passed through pick-up 150, sheet spring switch 146 triggered the output pulses.Therefore, when right-hand tread plate 12B moves downward, the transmission of sheet spring switch is passed through the corresponding output pulse of pick-up downwards with magnet, and when left-hand tread plate 12A moved upward, sheet spring switch also transmitted with magnet and moves upward by the corresponding output pulse of the motion of pick-up.The output pulse is used for detecting when they move up and down during use vibration, speed, the stroke degree of depth and pedal travel quantity.The output pulse combines separately or with the belt speed signal and can be used to provide the body-building frequency and show, and can be used for the relevant calculating of different body-building, for example determines user's energy expenditure rate.
As Fig. 3,7 and 14-20 is clear illustrates, in an application-specific, each pedal comprises bottommost assembly 154.The bottommost assembly is included in the support 156 of the roughly V-arrangement that interconnects between the inboard of footrest frame and the outer member.The apex region of V-shaped rest is orientated downwards, and roughly limits flat installation surface 158.Block 160 is fixed on installs surperficial bottom surfaces on the lower part.When body-building device is assembled, preferably dispose pedal by screw-button 134,136, make that block 160 remains on the following locking cross member 162 slightly when pedal during in its extreme lower position.Buffer 164 can be fixed on the cross member 162, so that the buffering pedal does not make it on earth.In an example, block is made by hard, inflexibility plastics.Block also can be made by solid or flexible resilient polymeric material.In the flexible resilient form, block will be reduced on the cross member in locking at block some buffering will be provided when minimum.
As mentioned above, body-building device 10 can be configured in " locking " position that pedal assembly does not pivot up and down.On a specific locking orientation, pedal assembly pivots fixing, make that trampling band is level, and the rear portion of corresponding body-building device is on about 10% grade.Therefore, in preceding use, the user can simulate to mark time and go up a hill, and in using towards the back, the user can simulate and mark time.

Describe a plurality of configurations before this, wherein single driven roller and motor are used on double-deck body-building device 10 driving two and trample and be with 18.Figure 30 represents that wherein each tramples the embodiment that itself driven roller 30 and motor 88 is set with 18.Figure 30 represents to have the bottom 300 of the double-deck body-building device 10 of two adjacent pedals 12.Each pedal 12 has pair of end portions roller 28,30.One of two end rollers 28,30 that are used for each pedal 12 are driven rollers, also can be positioned on the pedal 12 although should be understood that driven roller.In the embodiment shown in Figure 30, driven roller 30 is rear portion rollers 30.Other roller (being the mediate roller 916 shown in Figure 84) or supporting structure 324 can be arranged on (for example Figure 31-34 and the description of following) between the end roller 28,30.With notice each pedal 12 and for example impulse member 108,110 buffer unit, be used for pedal 12 is turned back to the spring assembly of its higher position and operationally relevant at the cross tie part (when a pedal was pushed down, another pedal 12 was by pushing away on the slave unit 112) that forms relation between the motion of pedal 12.
Figure 30 is used for emphasizing that driven roller 30 must be not shared between two adjacent pedals 12.In other words, can adopt more than one driven roller 30, for example a roller is used for each pedal 12.Each driven roller 30 by itself motor 88 via pulley 86,98 with 96 system drive.The common control unit (not shown) can be set, so that guarantee motor 88 simultaneously operatings, thereby guaranteeing to drive to trample under identical speed is with 18.But, consider that each motor 88 can separately control, so that making trampling on the pedal 12 be with 18 under friction speed, to drive under the situation that the user needs.Though in Figure 30, driven roller 30 is illustrated as having axially aligned center line, for the present invention this not necessarily, and each driven roller 30 can have non-aligned turning cylinder.Though it is further to be understood that and represented, also can use for example configuration of any functional equivalent of inserted tooth and gear, chain driver, direct driver or friction driver with 96 and the system of pulley 86,98.Can be for the information that can select example with reference to figure 44A, 44B and appended explanation thereof.
Figure 31-34: deck suspension
Figure 31-34 expression is used for dissimilar decks 26 suspension arrangements on the pedal 12 of double-deck body-building device 10 of the present invention.Figure 31 is illustrated in the pedal assembly 12 that comprises a pair of roller 28,30 on the opposed end of framework 52.Continuous stampede part 18 is provided with around roller 29,30, makes it center on framework 52 and roller 28,30 circulations, so that form the upper span 18A of stampede part 18 and the following span 18B of stampede part 18.The top surface of the upper span 18A of stampede part 18 provides the user to trample the surface of using simultaneously on it in conjunction with the body-building device 10 of pedal assembly 12.Preferably stampede part 18 is under the tension force continuously, makes its roller 28,30 that is frictionally engaged.Roller 28,30 can be provided with tooth, so that connect the breach in the house stampede part 18, thereby compares with relying on friction, drives more reliably.The rotation of roller 28,30 will cause stampede part 18 moving in the loop of roller 28,30 thus.Continuation is with reference to Figure 31, if rotate on the clockwise direction in the roller 28,30, upper span 18A arrives the right side with overall movement, and span 18B will move to the left side down.
Upper deck 26 and lower decks 326 are positioned between span 18A, the 18B of stampede part 18.Suspension 324 is arranged between upper deck 26 and the lower decks 326, so that suitably locate the gentle deck 26 that rushes to.Embodiment shown in Figure 31 uses lower decks 326 as the main frame structure 52 that is used for supporting roller 28,30.As selection, lower decks 326 should have roughly gentle smooth top surface.The size of the top surface of upper deck 26 is should be roughly corresponding with length and the width of the upper span 18A of stampede part 18.Upper deck 26 can be the wooden rectangular slab of clamping plate or force fit plate for example, or is positioned at other similar material below the upper span 18A of stampede part 18.The coating that reduces to rub is set on the top surface of upper deck 26, makes the upper span 18A of stampede part 18 will be convenient on the top surface of upper deck 26, slide.
Suspension 324 can be any configuration that upper deck 26 suitably is held in place below the upper span 18A of stampede part 18.Upper deck 26 can be positioned to support the upper span 18A of contact stampede part 18, perhaps separates slightly below stampede part 18 under the situation of load not having.Suspension 324 also provides buffering, makes that the user's weight kinetic energy that is applied on the upper deck 26 via stampede part 18 distributes slightly gently when the user sets foot on the upper span 18A of stampede part 18, rather than forms sudden surge.
The suspension 324 of Figure 31 comprises the array that is arranged on the elastic caoutchouc buffer 324 between lower decks 326 and the upper deck 26.Do not having under the situation of load, as shown in figure 31, upper deck 26 rests on the buffer 324, and is held in place below the upper span 18A of stampede part 18.For upper deck 26 is held in place, upper deck 26 can bonding or otherwise be connected on the buffer 324.When the user impacts stampede part 18A, the recline top surface offset slightly of upper deck 26 of stampede part 18.Under load, upper deck 26 is towards lower decks 326 skews.When the weight by the user and momentum are pressed to lower decks 326 with upper deck 26, also distortion of rubber bumper 324 compressions so that with the weight smooth transfer to lower decks 326, and Zhongdao framework 52.Can use other elastomeric material that is applicable to vibration damping outside the rubber, so that form buffer 324.
Selectable allocation list is shown among Figure 32.For example the rigidity buffer 328 of duroplasts, wood or metal is arranged near the driving wheel (being rear portion roller 32 in Figure 32), and is used for limiting upper deck 26 towards lower decks 326 skews in the zone of rigidity buffer 328.This prevents other surf zone contact driven roller 30 of stampede part 18, and this can cause stampede part 18 around roller 28,30 uneven drivings.This rigidity buffer 328 is fixedly attached on upper deck 26 and the lower decks 326.The opposed end of upper deck 26 (left part shown in Figure 32) is freely, and separates with lower decks 326 by the soft elastic buffer 324 of for example bipeltate spare.Thus, upper deck 26 is installed on the lower decks 326 with cantilevered fashion.The natural elastic of upper deck 26 is as coach spring, and some cushioning effect outside the buffering that is provided by elastic buffer 324 is provided this spring.Elastic buffer 324 can be positioned on any point between the free end of rigidity buffer 328 and upper deck 26, and can use more than one buffer 324.Soft buffer 324 can be shorter than the distance between two decks 26,326, perhaps suitably is installed between two decks 26,326, and contacted upper deck 26 and lower decks 326 before upper deck 26 begins skew.
Figure 33 represents another embodiment of suspended structure, and comprises a plurality of quite soft buffers 324, is for example made by rubber or other similar material, and is positioned between upper deck 26 and the lower decks 326.A plurality of buffers 324 can pass through array, random fashion location, and perhaps a buffer 324 is located near the front end center line of upper deck 26.
Figure 34 represents another embodiment of suspended structure, and this structure is combined with quite high soft buffer 324 ' and quite short hard buffer 324 between upper deck 2 and lower decks 326 ".This configuration makes that upper deck 26 roughly is offset when load is applied on the upper deck 26 via stampede part upper span 18A.In case but weight is applied to short hard buffer 324 " time, over-deflection can be prevented.Because 26 on deck and high soft buffer 324 " contact, the beginning of upper deck 26 offsets downward.In case enough skews, upper deck 26 contacts short hard buffer 324 ", short hard buffer 324 " prevent that upper deck further significantly is offset.Therefore, cushion the initial impact of user's weight and kinetic energy, but hard buffer 324 by lacking by high elastic buffer 324 ' " prevent over-deflection.
Can adopt the elasticity deck suspension arrangement that is positioned at other type between upper deck 26 and the following any deck.Can between upper deck 26 and lower decks 326, use the non-dispersive structure of monolithic flexible material for example or other this elastic construction, so that in use cushion user's the impulsive force of pin on deck 26.
Figure 35: preceding pivot pedal assembly
Before this, great majority description here is around place, pedal 12 rear portions or near the pedal 12 (for example part Fig. 1,26,30 and 37) of axis 16 pivots.Figure 35 represents and described similar double-deck device with pedal 10 in the past, but wherein pedal 12 pivots around 22 places, front portion of pedal 12 or near pivot axis 220.As shown in figure 35, framework 14 is arranged in framework 14 front portions and comprises upright body 40.The front end 22 of each pedal 12 is connected on the upright body part 40 of framework 14 with the relation of pivoting, and wherein the rear end 24 of pedal 12 freely hangs.Therefore, the front portion 22 of pedal 12 is subjected to the restriction that pivots, and will move in the circular arc of approximate vertical in the rear portion 24 of pedal 12 simultaneously.
Motor 88 is installed on the framework 14, so that drive the motion stampede part 18 that is arranged on the pedal 12.Motor 88 is connected on the stampede part 18 and can realizes by any device of describing in detail previously.For illustration purpose, pulley 86 and rotating band 96 are illustrated among Figure 35.Rotating band 96 is connected on the driven roller 28 at 22 places, front portion of each pedal 12.For having a motor 88 by anterior driven roller 28, perhaps can have two driven rollers 28, be used for each pedal 12 separately, and have the CD-ROM drive motor 88 of itself separately.Housing or cover can be set so that cover motor 88 and pivot 330 in frame front.In Figure 35, dismantled left cap, made and to see motor 88 and pivot 330.
Continue with reference to 35, vibration-damped component 108,110 or other buffering or drag devices are arranged between each pedal 12 and the framework 14.Shown in example in, pedal hangs by the impulse member 108,110 that is connected on the upright body 40,42.Opposing or the motion of buffering pedal 12 in vertical plane thus.The non-loading position of pedal 12 can be regulated by the tie point that changes impulse member 108,110 and upright body 40,42 or pedal 12.Though expression in the accompanying drawings not should be understood that vibration-damped component 108,110 or other buffer unit can be connected to the bottom 32 of framework 14, rather than on the upright body 40,42.Also the interconnection device (not shown) can be set, so that make pedal 12 complementary movement.
When user 332 towards preceding and when walking forward or running, each pedal 12 pivots downwards around its anterior pivotal point 330, the while pin forward to backward between moving period user's pin be in contact with it.Pin then lifts and gets back to the front end 22 of pedal 12, and during this period, pedal 12 moves to acclivitous position from downward-sloping position, perhaps has less position to lower angle at least, so that user 332 engages user's pin again.Impulse member 108,110 can spring loads so that automatically retract to the higher position, perhaps impulse member 108,110 can be only by the external springs buffering relevant with pedal 12, thereby at the position bias voltage pedal 12 that makes progress.Can use single spring or dual spring, perhaps not use spring.This device can be used for the user 332 of right cylinder 40,42 dorsad, and runs forward or backward, perhaps is used for towards the people 332 of right cylinder 40,42, and as shown in the figure, wherein user 332 climbs forward or backward.
Figure 36: the buffer unit relevant with hypotaxis
Figure 36 represents to be used to coordinate the interconnection device 334 of pedal 12 motions.Need this coordination, make that wherein the motion of two pedals 12 always has the phase difference of 180 degree to produce the ascending stair motion by pedal 12.For example, when the top of left-hand tread plate 12 in its motion, right-hand tread plate 12 will be in the bottom.Any moving downward of left-hand tread plate 12 will be caused identical the moving upward of right-hand tread plate 12, and vice versa.A basic structure that is used in this way pedal 12 being interconnected is Swing Arm structure 112.Each pedal 12 is connected on the not homonymy of Swing Arm 112 by pull bar 134,136.Any motion of a pedal 12 causes the reaction force on the rightabout, and this is because this motion is delivered on other pedal 12 via Swing Arm 112.Be described in further detail with particular reference to Figure 36 below this acting on.
The interconnection device 334 of Figure 36 comprises and the relevant Swing Arm 112 of pivotal pin 120 pivots.Pivotal pin 120 is by support 336 supportings.Support 336 preferably is fixedly mounted on the under(-)chassis 114 below the pedal 12.The mount pin 122,124 that is used for supporting rod 134,136 is arranged on every end of Swing Arm 112 (preferably leave pivotal pin 130 same distance, but this not necessarily).Pull bar 134,136 pivots and is connected on each mount pin 122,124, and roughly extends up to the bottom of corresponding pedal 12 (not shown).The Swing Arm 112 of Figure 36 is formed by two panel 112A, 112B connecting by lower connecting plate 112C.But, can use other structure to form Swing Arm 112, and a Swing Arm shown in Figure 36 should be thought exemplary.The mount pin 122,124 of supporting rod 134,136 of being used to pivot is positioned between plate 112A, the 112B of Swing Arm 112.
Swing Arm 112 interconnects with mode described here motion with pedal 12.When a pedal pushed away for 12 times, corresponding pull bar pushed away for 134 times, and this promotes the first end of Swing Arm 112 downwards.The other end of Swing Arm will move upward by the pivotal action of Swing Arm 112 around pivotal pin 120.Moving upward of the other end of Swing Arm 112 causes another pull bar 136 upwards to promote, and therefore upwards promotes another pedal 12.If pull bar 134,136 has identical length, and the pivotal point 120 that leaves Swing Arm 112 equates to separate, and the corresponding sports of pedal 12 is identical.
It is further to be understood that any resistance that is applied on the pedal 12 will transmit via the resistance of interconnection device 334 as the reverse motions of another pedal 12.If desired, resistance can be applied on the pedal 12 via interconnection device 334, rather than directly to pedal 12.Figure 36 represents to use turning stopper 338 so that the motion as pedal provides resistance on the interconnection device 334 by resistance is applied to.According to this embodiment, pulley 340 is connected on the pivotal pin 120.Optional is that pulley 340 can be directly connected on the Swing Arm 112.Pulley 340 is by being with 342 to be connected in the rolling brake mechanism 338.By engaging with pulley belt 342, arrestment mechanism 338 provides resistance for the rotation of pulley 340, and provides resistance for the motion of Swing Arm 112 thus, and the motion for each pedal 12 provides resistance then.Brake 338 can be adjusted to the high capacity effect from low load effect by the user as required via the standard motor controller.Brake 338 shown in Figure 36 can be brake motor, turning stopper or electromagnetic brake.
The brake of other type can be applied directly on the swing arm or on the pulley system as shown in figure 36.For example, the simple friction brake of opposing rotation can be applied on the pin 120 of Swing Arm 112.Equally, can apply the resistance of other type.In addition, shown in Figure 41 A and in the accompanying drawings the double-cylinder hydraulic buffer unit 344 that describes in detail can be connected on the Swing Arm 112, so that the motion of opposing pedal 12.

Two pedal assemblies 12 (right assembly and left assembly) its separately sidepiece and pivot along common axis 330 be connected on the upright body 40, although common axis is not necessarily.If desired, can use two upright body (not shown) to replace single upright body, and the right side and left-hand tread plate assembly pivot and are connected between two upright body (not shown).Pedal assembly 12 pivots around axis 330.Schematically illustrate, pivot axis 330 is the axis of driving shaft 82 that drive the anterior roller 28 of the anterior roller 28 of left-hand tread plate 12 and right-hand tread plate assembly 12.Single driven roller 28 can be used to replace driven roller 28 separately.If desired, by other structure of supporting pivotal action, pivot axis 330 can depart from driving shaft 82.Pivot 330 can be fixed as shown, perhaps can change.Can use different mechanisms,, comprise a left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12 and driving shaft 82 are installed in the subframe, and between subframe and upright body 40 or upright body 40,42, the variable position locking mechanism is set so that form variable pivotal point.(seeing for example Figure 26-29 and 37-39 and associated description).Exemplary variable position locking mechanism is hole 314 arrays (as shown in figure 37) in the upright body, and the spring-loaded bolt in the subframe.Other mechanism comprises the collar and screw rod, breach, clamping element and flange.
Each pedal assembly 12 be have itself with 18, the split treadmill of deck 26 and front and rear roller 28,30.Although if desired, each pedal assembly can drive by the motor 88 of itself, and advantageously two pedal assemblies 12 drive by common power shaft 82 and identical motor 88.This guarantees that each is with 18 to move under identical speed.Pedal assembly 12 also interconnects, so that provide equilibrium relation between a left side and right side in the body-building process, and provides some additional buffering.Equilibrium relation can realize by different way, comprises by Swing Arm assembly 112 or band assembly.If desired, left and right assembly 12 can the inclination mode lock together, so that obtain the exercise of traditional treadmill.
Pedal assembly 12 is controlled by user's trample action (mark time, footwork etc.), cushioning effect and combined type cushions and biasing device 76 (for example other local described impulse member 108,110 of this specification) applies bias effect around the pivoting action of pivotal point 82.Cushion effect is the power of opposing pedal 12 motions at least one direction.Usually moving downward of the required buffer unit 76 relevant pedals 12 of opposing.Biasing force is tending towards towards centre position compressing pedal 12.If pedal 12 departs from the centre position, biasing device 76 makes it urge back into the centre position.Usually, when pedal 12 is depressed into lower position, biasing device 76 will be oppressed pedal 12 and be got back to the higher position.
The U.S. Patent No. 5622527 of authorizing on April 22nd, 1997 discloses a kind of appropriate device 76 that is used to provide buffering and bias voltage, and this patent is hereby expressly incorporated by reference.If desired, the device that separates is used for cushioning and bias voltage.The buffering and the end of biasing device 76 fixed position 314 pivots on upright body 40 and pedal assembly 12 perhaps pivot on upright body and pedal assembly one or variable position on both, shown in Figure 26-29 and 37-39.The ability that changes pivot position 314 makes biasing force to regulate, and makes the bias voltage angle (deck inclination) on deck 26 regulate with respect to level.The size of buffering resistance and biasing force can be fixed as required or be variable.In the buffering and biasing device 76 of combination shown in Figure 49, what schematically illustrate is to come each self-regulation to cushion the size of resistance and biasing force by rotating disk 426A and the 426B that is positioned on upper cylinder half 428A and/or the following cylinder 428B.Use for example any suitable drag devices such as hydraulic cylinder, flywheel, brake, can realize cushioning effect.For example using, any appropriate device such as helical spring, torsionspring, elongated elastomeric member can realize bias effect.
Body exercising machine 10 for application drawing 49 under normal mode, user 332 regulates cushioning effect and bias effect as required, set foot on right and left side pin support platform (illustrating), as required console adjusted fitness program (respectively the carrying 18 setting in motions an of left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12), and set foot on the right side and a left side is with 18 from right and left foot support platform.By retainer belt 18 fixing (motor cuts out), body exercising machine 10 also can be operated under the treadmill pattern.
In normal mode shown in Figure 49 operation, user 332 has just set foot on the motion of right-hand tread plate assembly 12 and has been with on 18, and with its weight from left foot (being carried on the rear portion of pedal assembly 12 with 18) by motion to right crus of diaphragm.The downward force that is applied on the pedal 12 by right crus of diaphragm is tending towards rotating right-hand tread plate 12 around pivot 330.This motion of pedal 12 is opposite with biasing force and cushion effect.According to the velocity of rotation of pedal 12, cushion effect is variable.Pedal 12 rotates fast more, and the resistance that buffer unit 76 provides is big more.Biasing force depends on that pedal 12 departs from the distance in centre position.Because left foot sheds weight, and is delivered to left-hand tread plate 12 by the Swing Arm assembly as upward force owing to the right crus of diaphragm that adds weight causes the downward force on the right-hand tread plate 12, left-hand tread plate assembly 12 begins to lift.The then left foot complete discharge that when it lifts, becomes, and from the rear portion on the deck 26 of left-hand tread plate assembly 12 towards the front portion motion on the deck 26 of left-hand tread plate assembly 12.Simultaneously, with the 18 rear portion carryings towards the deck 26 of right-hand tread plate assembly 12, and because weight, the inclination of right-hand tread plate assembly 12 increases the right crus of diaphragm of Jia Zaiing by motion fully, and the inclination of left-hand tread plate assembly 12 simultaneously is owing to the power of biasing force and transmission reduces.Under low belt speed (slowly cutting down), to compare with high belt speed (fast paces), pedal assembly 12 operations are by bigger radian scope, and other is identical.
If desired, pedal assembly 12 be with 18 can put upside down operation, by marking time backward or, making the user mark time and leave upright body 40 or upright body 40,42 by turn-taking and marking time forward.
When the user slowed down its paces when body-building finishes, a left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12 can drop to the bottom by impacting under(-)chassis 14.If biasing force suitably is not set, the bottom also can appear dropping to.Body exercising machine 10 for example should comprise the mechanism of buffer structure or base assemblies 154 (not shown in Figure 49, but can with reference to Figure 60 and explanation thereof), so that absorb impulsive force, thereby for the user provides buffering, and avoid body exercising machine to damage.
Figure 50-51: Swing Arm assembly with universal joint and/or bias effect
As shown in figure 50, be connected between two upright bodies 40,42 for 10, two pedal assemblies 12 of front wheel driving body exercising machine (left assembly and right assembly) pivot.As selection, can use single upright body 40, and pedal assembly 12 can its separately sidepiece and pivot along common axis be connected on the single upright body 40.Equally, as described in other place here, pedal assembly 12 can pivot at the rear portion of framework 14 and be connected on the framework.Each pedal assembly 12 is treadmills separately, its have itself be with 18, deck 26 and front and rear roller 28,30.Pedal assembly pivots around pivotal point 330, and pivotal point schematically illustrates the driving shaft 82 into the anterior roller 28 of anterior roller 28 that drives pedal assembly 12 and right-hand tread plate assembly 12.Pivotal point 330 can be fixed as shown, and is perhaps variable.Although if desired, each pedal assembly 12 can drive by itself motor 88, and advantageously, two pedal assemblies 12 can drive with identical motor 88 by common power shaft 82.This guarantees that each is with 18 to move under identical speed.
Pedal assembly 12 interconnects, and a suitable pedal assembly pushes away for 12 times, pushes away on another pedal assembly 12 is corresponding.This being interconnected between the right side and the left side provides equilibrium relation in the body-building process, and some additional cushion is provided.Interconnection mechanism 334 is Swing Arm assemblies in embodiment shown in Figure 50.The middle body of Swing Arm 112 pivots by pivot rods 120 and is connected to the front portion of under(-)chassis 14.The end of Swing Arm 112 uses separately universal joint 138 to be connected to separately on the pull bar 134,136.Left lever 134 is connected on the pivot 128 on the body side frame 54 of left-hand tread plate assembly.Similarly, right pull bar is connected on the pivot on the body side frame of right-hand tread plate assembly 12.Place, end at Swing Arm 112 should use spherojoint 138, and wherein owing to the pivot 128,130 on the side frame member 54,56 of pedal assembly 12 moves in curved path along a plane, move in curved path along vertical plane in the Swing Arm end simultaneously, this applies complicated relative motion on two 134,136 end, pull bar 134,136 is connected to it separately on the pedal assembly 12.
In one embodiment, shown in Figure 51, Swing Arm 112 is formed by two relative sheet metal structure 112A, 112B by bulk metal part 112C interconnection, bulk metal part 112C from each arm configuration with right-angle bending.Spherojoint 138 at every end place of Swing Arm 112 between arm configuration 112A, 112B.
Term " pull bar " 134,136 comprises the regular length bar and the variable-length bar of screw-button for example.The angle that variable-length pull bar 134,136 can be used to regulate its relevant pedal assembly 12.When variable-length bar 134,136 is made when longer, will increase the gradient of pedal assembly 12.
Swing Arm assembly 112 functions shown in Figure 50 are as follows: cushioning effect and bias effect that pedal assembly 12 applies on the effect of trampling by the user of the pivoting action of pivotal point 120 (mark time, paces, weight etc.) and each pedal assembly 12 are controlled.When the user when being with of left-hand tread plate assembly 12 depresses on 18, left-hand tread plate assembly 12 pivots on downward direction around driven roller 28, and drives left lever 134 downwards.This causes under the left end of Swing Arm 112 and pushes away, and causes the right-hand member of Swing Arm 112 to raise.Moving upward of Swing Arm 112 transmitted via right pull bar 136, so that compressing right-hand tread plate assembly 12, thereby upwards pivoting upward around right driven roller 28.
If desired, Swing Arm assembly 112 can be provided with biasing device.Figure 51 represents as the right side of biasing device and left spring 428.Spring 428 be connected Swing Arm 112 each the end and under(-)chassis 14 on separately between the installed part.When pedal assembly 12 (" intermediate, inclined ") on same slope, spring 428 is under the compression or extension state of same degree.When the user when being with of left-hand tread plate assembly 12 depresses on 18, the left-hand tread plate assembly pivots on downward direction around left driven roller 28.Push away under the left end of Swing Arm 112, cause on the right-hand member of Swing Arm 112 to push away, and compressing right-hand tread plate assembly 12, thereby upwards pivoting upward around right driven roller 28.Simultaneously, left spring 428 is under bigger compression (perhaps extending with respect to the configuration of Swing Arm according to the spring) state, and right spring 428 is under tension force (perhaps compare with left spring and the be in less at least compression) state, produces the opposite clean biasing force of the downward force with on 18 that the pin that loads with the user acts on left-hand tread plate assembly 12.When the user with its weight when left foot is transferred to right crus of diaphragm, the right crus of diaphragm coordinated manipulation that biasing device 428 and user load is so that cause right-hand tread plate assembly 12 to pivot on downward direction.But when by the intermediate, inclined position, biasing device 428 beginnings are opposite with the downward force that the right crus of diaphragm that the user loads applies, as describing at the left foot that loads.
Biasing device 428 shown in Figure 51 can be used for not adopting in the Swing Arm 112 of spherojoint 138.In addition, the accurate position and the connected mode of the Swing Arm 112 of connection biasing device 428 ends are unessential.In addition, the other end of biasing device 428 can be directly connected on the framework 14, perhaps be connected to irrelevant other structure of the motion of Swing Arm 112 on.These other structures are preferably in the general plane of Swing Arm 112 motion, but also can be positioned under the Swing Arm 112 on (for example position shown in Figure 51) or the Swing Arm 112 (for example with the skew of position shown in Figure 51 180 degree).
Figure 52 A-52B: pedal bottom biasing device
As mentioned above, in two motion band pedal assembly body exercising machines, pedal assembly 12 is controlled by user's trample action (mark time, paces, weight etc.) and the cushioning effect and/or the bias effect that are applied on the pedal assembly 12 around the pivoting action of its pivotal axis 330.Buffering and bias effect can act on each pedal assembly 12 by a device or by the device that separates.
Figure 52 A represents to use the example of the biasing device 428 below each pedal assembly 12.Biasing device 428 is upwards oppressed pedal assembly 12 to non-loading or centre position.Biasing device 428 shown in Figure 52 A is to be connected the bottom 430 of each pedal assembly 12 and the spring 428 between the under(-)chassis 14.Preferably the compression of spring 428 and tensile property are roughly the same, and 430 one-tenth mirror images of the tie point on the pedal assembly 12, make pedal assembly 12 bias voltage on same slope, and, roughly the same biasing force is applied on user's the left foot and right crus of diaphragm for identical weight.When pedal assembly 12 was positioned at non-loading or centre position, pedal 428 was owing to the weight of pedal assembly 12 is under the compression of same degree.When the user depresses on the left-hand tread plate assembly, its pin is frictionally engaged is with at 18 o'clock, left-hand tread plate assembly 12 pivots on downward direction around its pivot axis 330, and compression left spring 428 (seeing Figure 52 B).The biasing force that the compression of left spring 428 pushes away on producing is so that to act on the downward force with on 18 of right-hand tread plate assembly 12 opposite with pin that the user loads.When user's pin does not load, appear at the user step on right-hand tread plate assembly 12 with 18 on situation under, biasing force is tending towards left-hand tread plate assembly 12 is turned back to obliquity in the middle of it.Buffer unit (not shown) best (but be not must) and spring 428 use together.Buffer unit is preferably resisted moving downward of pedal assembly 12.Buffer unit also can be resisted moving upward of the pedal assembly 12 that caused by spring 428, so that prevent pedal 12 too fast returning.
The top of spring 428 is connected on the pedal 12, so as will on push away biasing force and be applied on the pedal assembly 12.Mechanism shown in Figure 52 A is included in the flange 430 that side direction is extended from the bottom of the framework 52 of pedal assembly 12.The height of the belt surface 18 that flange 430 should engage than user pin is low, so that avoid user's pin contact spring.Other suitable bindiny mechanism comprises a left side and right side pin support platform (not shown) and shell area (not shown), as long as they have enough rigidity and intensity, and indeformable or inefficacy gets final product.
Under the situation of using the housing that extends along the bottom of pedal assembly 12, spring 428 tie points 430 can be along the longitudinal centre line of pedal assembly 12, rather than departs from it.If desired, can be from the flange 430 that the framework 52 of pedal assembly 12 extends in 12 times bendings of pedal assembly, this makes tie point 430 along the longitudinal centre line of pedal assembly 12, rather than departs from it.
The bottom of spring 428 can be directly connected on the under(-)chassis 14, perhaps is connected on other structure with respect to the motion stabilization of pedal assembly 12.
Regulate the gradient of pedal if desired, variable height mechanism (not shown) can use spring at tie point 430 places.Multiple variable height mechanism is known, comprises for example screw type mechanism and pin-and-hole mechanism.According to user's needs, variable height mechanism makes that the gradient between the pedal assembly 12 is identical or different.
The example that is used for the suitable variable height mechanism of spring 428 lower ends is the movable platform that raises from under(-)chassis 14, and can be positioned on the variable range that leaves framework.The lower end of spring 428 is connected on this platform, and the user changes the distance that platform leaves under(-)chassis 14, so that regulate the gradient of pedal assembly 12.The height of platform can manual adjustments or is regulated under user's control via user console by motor.
Regulate the ability of the biasing force that the user feels if desired, the distance between spring and the pedal pivotal point can be made adjustable, and so other place of specification is described.
The inclination intermediate angle of pedal assembly 12 also can be regulated with respect to the link position of pivotal point 330 by changing biasing device 428.Motion is near pivotal point 330 more for bias voltage 428, and it is precipitous more to tilt.For this reason, for the biasing device on under(-)chassis 14 and the pedal assembly 12, need a plurality of link positions.Should be noted that because leverage changes, also will change biasing force with respect to the change in location of pivotal point 330.Biasing device is placed the closer to pivotal point 330, and the resistance that pivots for pedal assembly 12 is more little.
Figure 54-59: the bias mechanism that is used for body exercising machine
Figure 54-59 expression can be set directly at a plurality of additional embodiment of the bias mechanism 428 below the pedal assembly 12.Figure 54 represents one type bias mechanism.Pedal assembly can be connected by for example other local description with the reciprocating motion connecting rod (Figure 54-59 is not shown) of any different Swing Arm that illustrates of this specification.Preferably the elongated coach spring 428 of metal is bearing on the under(-)chassis 14 by spring-loaded support 430, and extends below a left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12 and towards the left side and the right side of body exercising machine on both direction.Protuberance 432 roughly stretches out downwards from a left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12 from its longitudinal centre line separately, although they can be positioned at other place, as long as the arm long enough of coach spring 428 is so that engage protuberance 432.If do not use interconnection device, in all of a left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12 or roughly in all strokes, the arm of coach spring 428 engages with protuberance 432.If use interconnection device, protuberance 432 will be usually intermediate, inclined and below the place engage the arm of coach spring 428, but when pedal assembly 12 moves upward on the centre position, will throw off.Be provided with under the situation of firm and stiff case 20 on a left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12, protuberance 432 can stretch out from lower house plate 20 (hiding the accompanying drawing).At housing 20 enough not firmly and rigidity or do not use under the situation of housing, the protuberance that is used for each pedal assembly 12 can be that support is (not shown, but for example in Figure 60, can see support 156) a part and therefrom stretch out, this part extend beyond pedal assembly 12 with 18 width, and have upwardly extending flange on the inner frame (not shown) that is connected to pedal assembly 12 or two and extend upward flange.
Protuberance 432 is made by any material, is convenient to slide on coach spring 428 although this material should make under its situation of being out of shape when coach spring 428 is engaged by protuberance 432.Suitable material comprises duroplasts and synthetic, and the metal that applies low-friction material.
The function of bias mechanism 428 in the operation of left-hand tread plate assembly 12 of Figure 54 is as follows: the function of bias mechanism 428 is identical with the function of right-hand tread plate assembly 12.Be with 18 and when loading its pin when what the user set foot on left-hand tread plate assembly 12, left-hand tread plate assembly 12 moves downward around pivot axis.The protuberance 432 of the arm of metal coach spring 428 by left-hand tread plate assembly 12 engages, and coach spring 428 strains, and the biasing force that will increase the gradually arc that is applied to left-hand tread plate assembly 12 on the contrary moves downward thus.Trample and when beginning to reduce the loading of pin when the user finishes it, biasing force causes left-hand tread plate assembly 12 to turn back to gradient in the middle of it.
Preferably coach spring 428 is located so that maximum leverage is applied on the pedal assembly 12 near the free end of pedal assembly 12.In this way, the return force of coach spring 428 can be for required biasing force minimum.As selection, the inclination of bias effect and pedal assembly 12 can change by coach spring 428 is set on movable supporting bracket, and this support can be regulated forward and backward on under(-)chassis 14.When supporting bracket moved backward, owing to the short lever arm that the more close pivotal point of motion causes, it was applied to less biasing force on the pedal assembly.The inclination of pedal assembly 12 will increase near the pivotal point motion more along with coach spring 428.
Figure 55 represents to be used to have right separately and the left side of left buffer unit 76 and the bias mechanism 428 of right-hand tread plate assembly 12 of hydraulic cylinder type.Bias mechanism 428 shown in Figure 55 is identical with the bias mechanism shown in Figure 54.Right buffer unit 76 has an end that is pivoted on right-hand tread plate assembly 12 outsides, and the other end that is installed in (not shown) on the right vertical frame member.Left side buffer unit has the end on the outside 54 that is pivoted on left-hand tread plate assembly 12, and the other end that is installed in (not shown) on the left vertical frame member.Buffer unit 76 will for its separately moving downward of pedal assembly 12 resistance is provided.The resistance that is provided by buffer unit 76 can depend on the speed that pedal assembly 12 moves.Buffer unit 76 also can be moving upward of pedal assembly 12 resistance is provided, so that the speed that does not load pedal assembly that expression is upwards promoted by coach spring 428.
Figure 56 represents to use the bias mechanism 428 of sheet spring 428, the sheet spring is bearing in the recessed portion by the short spring-loaded support 430 on the arm of sheet spring 428, and on the both direction in operation right side of body exercising machine and left side, and with the following side engagement of a left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12.If do not use the reciprocating motion connecting rod, at it all or roughly in all strokes, the arm of sheet spring 428 engages with pedal assembly 12.Move back and forth connecting rod if use, pedal assembly 12 can be thrown off at the top and the sheet spring 428 of its range of movement.The housing base plate 20 to the upper end of sheet spring 428 around its longitudinal centre line joint pedal assembly 12, shorter or longer although they can be made, so that as required, engage housing base plate 20 in the zone beyond its longitudinal centre line.Be provided with at pedal assembly 12 under the situation of firm and stiff case 20, sheet spring end can directly engage shell plates 20.But, be not that shock plate can be used in the zone of joint fastener spring end under the situation of enough firm and rigidity at housing 20.Do not using housing or housing to be highly brittle under the weak skirt situation, extend beyond pedal assembly 12 with 18 width and have a upwardly extending flange on the inner frame that is connected to pedal assembly 12 or the support (not shown) of two upwardly extending flanges can be used to provide shock plate.Shock plate can be made by any material, although this material should make that when sheet spring 428 is engaged by shock plate and under the situation of being out of shape be convenient to slide in the end of sheet spring 428 thereon.Suitably material comprises duroplasts and synthetic, and the metal that applies low-friction material.Opposite with the coach spring 428 of Figure 54, it is favourable using the recessed sheet spring 428 of Figure 56, and this is owing to making spring 428 contact pedal assembly 12 in relatively long range of movement.
The following effect in the operation of left-hand tread plate assembly 12 of the bias mechanism 428 of Figure 56: the effect of bias mechanism 428 is identical with right-hand tread plate assembly 12.When the user step on left-hand tread plate assembly 12 be with and when loading its pin, left-hand tread plate assembly 12 pivots downwards around its pivot axis.According to this embodiment, the arm of sheet spring 428 engages by bottom, shock plate or the protuberance 432 of housing 20, and sheet spring 428 strains, moves downward at the arc of left-hand tread plate assembly 12 thus and applies the biasing force that increases gradually.Mark time and when beginning to unload its pin when the user finishes it, biasing force cause left-hand tread plate assembly 12 turn back in the middle of gradient.
Figure 57 represents to use the bias mechanism 428 of short relatively sheet spring 428, and sheet spring 428 supports with convex surface with respect to pedal assembly 12 by long spring-loaded support 430.Sheet spring 428 is extending relative short distance on the both direction on the left side of body exercising machine 10 and right side below pedal assembly 12.If do not use the reciprocating motion connecting rod, the arm of sheet spring 428 at it all or roughly engage pedal assembly 12 in all strokes.Near the position of sheet spring 428 by 430 supportings of spring-loaded support, the protuberance 432 on pedal assembly 12 bottoms engages the leaf spring bearing spare 428 at its place, inside edge.Be provided with firmly and the position of stiff case 20 at pedal assembly 12, sheet spring 428 can directly engage shell plates 20.But, housing 20 do not need very enough firmly and the position of rigidity, engage by sheet spring 428 regional in can use shock plate.Position a little less than not using housing 20 or housing 20 to be highly brittle is connected to the inner frame (not shown) of pedal assembly 12 and extension downwards only can be used to provide shock plate above the bottom of housing 20 or the support (not shown) of roller.Shock plate can be made by any material, although when sheet spring 428 when being engaged by shock plate and under the situation of being out of shape, this material should make sheet spring end slide easily thereon.Suitably material comprises the metal of duroplasts and synthetic and coating low-friction material.
Figure 58 represents to use the bias mechanism 428 of a plurality of part torsionsprings 428, and torsionspring is bearing on the under(-)chassis 14.Pedal assembly 12 is shown in exaggerative raising position, makes a plurality of part torsionsprings 428 be more prone to see.The bottom 434 of torsionspring 428 is installed on the under(-)chassis 14 by a plurality of installation folders 436.The free end 438 of torsionspring 428 extends internally from coil 440.Free end 438 engages the housing base plate of pedal assembly 12 along its bottom, and torsionspring 428 strains are so that provide bias effect.If do not use the reciprocating motion connecting rod, free end 438 engages pedal assembly 12 at it on all or the roughly all stroke.In other embodiment of bias mechanism 428, if housing is enough firm and rigidity, the free end that extends internally 438 of torsionspring 428 can directly engage housing 20, perhaps can engage any suitable shock plate.
In the modification of Figure 58 embodiment, the coil of torsionspring 428 can be near the center line of under(-)chassis location, and the free end 438 of torsionspring 428 can stretch out, rather than extends internally.For abundant this torsionspring 428 of supporting, the center frame member (not shown) can be set, and a plurality of part torsionspring can be fixed along center frame member by clip 436.
Figure 59 represents to use the bias mechanism 428 of two tip flat metal springs 428, and spring-loaded is on the cross member 36 of under(-)chassis 14, and its sharp head 442 is being bent upwards upward, so that engage the housing base plate of pedal assembly 12 along its bottom.Pedal assembly 12 is shown in exaggerative raising position, makes that the crooked tip of coach spring 428 and its 442 is more clearly visible.These tips 442 are strain when pedal assembly 12 engages separately by it, so that bias effect is provided.If do not use when moving back and forth connecting rod, tip 442 engages pedal assembly 12 at it on all or the roughly all stroke.In other embodiment of bias mechanism 428, if housing is enough firm and rigidity, the end of tip 442 can directly engage housing 20, perhaps engages any suitable shock plate.
Under the situation of using term " metal spring ", will appreciate that other material that can use with the metal spring similar performance.
The position of bias mechanism 428 can be made variable, so that regulate the gradient of pedal assembly 12.Any suitable mechanism of pin-and-hole mechanism for example or screw-button structure is used in signal, and the supporting bracket 430 shown in Figure 54-57 can be made has the adjustable variable-length of user.The coach spring with rising tip 442 428 of the torsionspring of Figure 58 and Figure 59 can be installed on the subframe, and its position with respect to under(-)chassis 14 can be regulated by the user.
This adjusting that should be understood that the position of subframe also changes the bias voltage resistance.Motion is near the pivotal point of pedal assembly 12 more for spring member 428, because the leverage that reduces, biasing force is more little.
Figure 53: based on the Buffer Unit of brake
Figure 53 represents to adopt the Buffer Unit 444 of the brake 446 that is used for cushioning effect.Brake 446 provides resistance for the rotation of the brake sheave 448 of connection.Assembly 444 comprises elongated buffer strip 450, and buffer strip extends to brake sheave 448 from pedal assembly 12 via the system of pulley 452, so that the rotary resistance of brake sheave 448 is delivered on the moving up and down of pedal assembly 12.Preferably, the reciprocating motion of pedal is coordinated by interconnecting assembly.
The system of exemplary pulley 452 is illustrated among Figure 53.The first end of buffer strip 450 is connected on the pedal assembly 12 at the some place of the pivot axis 330 that leaves pedal assembly 12.The distance that tie point leaves pivot axis 330 is far away more, and the leverage that is realized is big more.The first end of buffer strip 450 is connected on the right-hand tread plate assembly 12.Buffer strip 450 then operation is spent so that change direction about 90 from the approximate vertical to the approximate horizontal by pulley 552A, and in the general plane of under(-)chassis 14.Then operation is by the pulley 452B by the unilateral bearing rotatable support for buffer strip 450, and this bearing is installed on first side that is connected to differential freewheel 448.Pulley 452B changes about 180 degree with the direction of buffer strip 450, makes buffer strip 450 remain in the general plane of under(-)chassis 14.Buffer strip 450 reverses about 90 degree, and moves by pulley 452C, and this pulley will change about 90 degree with 450 direction, make it cross under(-)chassis 14, and operation be by the pulley 452D on the opposite side.Pulley 452D will change about 90 degree with 450 direction, and be with 450 then to reverse about 90 degree, and move by pulley 450E, and this pulley is equally by the unilateral bearing rotatable support.Pulley 450E is installed on second side that is connected to differential freewheel 448.Pulley 452E changes about 180 degree with the direction of buffer strip 450, makes buffer strip 450 remain in the general plane of under(-)chassis 14, and is directed on the pulley 452F.Buffer strip 450 then operation is spent approximate vertical by pulley 452F so that direction is changed about 90 from approximate horizontal and the general plane that is positioned at under(-)chassis 14.Second end of buffer strip 450 is connected on the left-hand tread plate assembly 12 at the some place of the pivot axis 330 that leaves pedal assembly 12.
As pulley 452E when counterclockwise (watching from the left side of under(-)chassis 14) rotates by moving upward of left-hand tread plate assembly 12, freewheel 448 engages, make brake 446 rotate, so that cushion effect is applied on the moving upward of left-hand tread plate assembly 12 via brake band 456 and the pulley 458 that is installed on the brake 446.By pulling buffer strip 450, moving upward of left-hand tread plate assembly 12 clockwise rotates pulley 452B (watching at identical point, i.e. the left side of under(-)chassis 14).Because the unilateral bearing of differential freewheel 448 only engages by rotating counterclockwise of watching from the left side of framework 14, clockwise rotating of pulley 452B do not engage freewheel 448.
The diverse location that will appreciate that the pulley in the pulley system of Figure 53 is not important.The purpose of pulley system is the approximate vertical of pedal assembly 12 to be moved be delivered to brake 446 via differential freewheel 448.Therefore, can use any pulley system that the approximate vertical motion of pedal assembly 12 can be delivered on the differential freewheel 448.(but not necessarily) buffer strip length is positioned at the general plane of under(-)chassis 14 as far as possible also advantageously, and it is not got final product with the attractive in appearance and operative interventions of body exercising machine 10.
In order to adapt to different biased position (inclination), the length of buffer strip 450 can be made into variable.This can realize by different modes.In a kind of technology, winding mechanism is placed on the tie point place in one or two pedal assembly 12.Regulate bias voltage and twine being provided with, make and realize required inclination, and in buffer strip 450, do not have loose till.Twining adjusting can be manual or motor driving under the control of user console.In another technology, pulley 452C and 452D are installed on the movable subframe.Bias voltage and subframe position are provided with and regulate, up to realizing required inclination, and in buffer strip 450, do not have loose till.The subframe position adjustments can be manually or under from the control of user console motor drive.Spring also can be used to the tensioning subframe, so as loose from buffer strip 450 interior eliminations, although some cushion effect may be lost when tensioning spring.
Buffer Unit 444 following operations based on brake.Be with 18 when what the user set foot on pedal assembly 12, its pin be frictionally engaged be with at 18 o'clock, left-hand tread plate assembly 12 pivots on downward direction around its pivot axis 330.This is not significant effect on the buffer strip 450 that does not compress.But, when the user steps on left-hand tread plate assembly 12, he unloads right-hand tread plate assembly 12, because interconnection device is (not shown, but the reciprocating motion connecting rod of other local Swing Arm of describing of this specification for example normally) effect, this assembly begins to pivot on the direction that makes progress around its pivot axis 330.The pin that interconnection device loads the user converts upward force on the right-hand tread plate assembly 12 in the downward force on the left-hand tread plate assembly 12.When right-hand tread plate assembly 12 lifted, it spurred buffer strip 450, rotates counterclockwise pulley 452B then, made differential freewheel 448 engage.Differential freewheel 448 is connected on the brake sheave 458 by brake band 458, makes brake 446 that cushion effect is applied on the right-hand tread plate assembly 12, has in fact cushioned moving downward of left-hand tread plate assembly 12 via moving back and forth connecting rod.
Then, the user steps on being with on 18 of right-hand tread plate assembly 12, its pin is frictionally engaged is with 18.Right-hand tread plate assembly 12 pivots on downward direction around its pivot axis 330 now.When the user stepped on right-hand tread plate assembly 12, he unloaded left-hand tread plate assembly 12, because the effect of interconnection device, this assembly begins upwards pivoting upward around its pivot axis 330.The downward force of pin on right-hand tread plate assembly 12 that interconnection device loads the user converts the upward force of left-hand tread plate assembly 12 to.When left-hand tread plate assembly 12 lifts, it spurs buffer strip 450, rotates counterclockwise pulley 452E then, so that engage differential freewheel 448, make brake 446 that cushion effect is applied on the left-hand tread plate assembly 12, in fact moving downward via interconnection device buffering right-hand tread plate assembly 12.Will appreciate that in this embodiment 446 on brake rotates in one direction.
In the modification of Figure 53 embodiment.Use two buffer strips 450 to replace one to be with 450 continuously.With reference to Figure 53, eliminated between pulley 452C and the 452D with 450 part, and pulley 42C and 452D replace with reel spool, spring or other this type of device.When left-hand tread plate assembly 12 in this modification when moving upward upward, when the buffer strip 450 that connects is drawn or is drawn when spring stretches from reel spool, make pulley 452E rotate in the counterclockwise direction, cause differential freewheel 448 to engage, make brake 446 that cushion effect is applied in the motion of left-hand tread plate assembly 12.Therefore, right-hand tread plate assembly 12 moves upward downwards, and this is tending towards causing the buffer strip 450 that is connected on the right-hand tread plate assembly 12 loose.Loose by reel spool or spring coiling.Because pulley 452B clockwise rotates, because the rotation of pulley 452B, freewheel 448 does not engage.
In the following modification (not shown) of figure DC5, cancel differential freewheel 448, and be to use bi-directional brake 446 and single continuous buffer strip 450.Keep Figure 53 from the axle 454 of pulley 452E or from the axle of pulley 452B, all do not keep but be not two.Suppose to keep the axle 454 from pulley 452E, brake sheave 448 is installed on the axle 454 from pulley 452E, and brake band 456 operations of Figure 53 are by brake sheave 448.If desired, brake 446 can be designed to be directly installed on the axle 454 from pulley 452E.Other, this modification and Figure 53 embodiment are similar.In operation, because the rotation of pulley 452E, moving upward of arbitrary pedal assembly is connected on the brake 446.
In another modification of Figure 53, can cancel differential freewheel 448, and use 446, one on two brakes to have pulley 452E, another has pulley 452B.Single continuous buffer strip 450 can be used in this modification, and perhaps two buffer strips that separate 450 can be used in this modification.
Term " band continuously " refers to the structural continuity with 450, and whether the material that does not refer to 450 is the same.Be the band with three parts with 450 example continuously, it is the tensioning apparatus of for example spring or the variable-length bar of screw-button for example that the end has flat material and mid portion.Tensioning apparatus or variable-length bar are used for and biasing device combines, so that the inclination of pedal assembly 12 is set, avoid the loose of buffer strip 450 simultaneously.Although flat rubber belting is preferred, band is not limited to flat structure, and can be to have any required surface smoothness, texture or any required form of the feature of ripple or analog for example.
With reference to the brake embodiment of Figure 53, flywheel can replace brake 446 and brake sheave 458.Except brake 446 and brake sheave 458 were replaced by flywheel, it is identical that other parts keep.When user's pick up speed, reduce by the cushioning effect of flywheel supply storage kinetic energy by flywheel.If use differential flywheel, it can be installed on the split axle 454 that connects pulley 352B and 352E, and also can cancel brake band 450 and differential freewheel 448.
Figure 60: the buffer gear that is used for body exercising machine
Figure 60 represents if pedal assembly 12 drops to when minimum embodiment to the buffer gear 154 that may occur impacting to cushion in its bottom of travel.This can appear at the user and slows down under the situation of its paces when body-building finishes, and a left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12 weight by the user pushes away towards under(-)chassis or subsurface.Be not provided with if biasing force is correct, in the body-building process, can occur dropping to minimum yet.Therefore body-building device 10 preferably includes some impulsive force of absorbing pedal assembly 12 so that buffering is provided and avoids body-building device 10 or mechanism that following ground is damaged for the user.
The duroplasts protuberance 160 that the buffer gear 154 of Figure 60 uses from mounting bracket 155, support extend beyond pedal assembly 12 with 18 width, and having two upwardly extending flanges 156, flange is connected on the inner frame framework 54,56 of pedal assembly 12.Soft rubber buffer 164 directly or by support is connected on the under(-)chassis 14, and is positioned in pedal assembly 12 when dropping to the situation of bottom, makes it pass through plastics protuberance 160 and engages.Soft rubber buffer 164 is strain by 160 contacts of hard rubber protuberance the time, so that cushioning effect is provided.Hard and the elastic part 160,164 of buffer gear 154 can be put upside down, and make elastic protrusion part 164 be arranged on the mounting bracket 155, and harder buffer 160 is arranged on the framework 14 relatively.
Figure 61 A-61B: the bottom drives body-building device
The bottom of Figure 61 A and 61B drives body exercising machine 10 and has two pedal assemblies 12 (right assembly 12 and left assembly 12).Each pedal assembly 12 is treadmills separately, and it has, and trampling of itself is with 18, deck 26, front portion, rear portion and skew roller 28,30,31.Although as required, each pedal assembly 12 can drive by itself motor 88, and advantageously two pedal assemblies 12 drive with identical motor by common power shaft.This guarantees that band moves under identical speed.If desired, the single driven roller that is used for two pedal assemblies 12 can be used to replace separately driven roller separately.Pedal assembly 12 also interconnects, so that provide equilibrium relation between left side and right side in the body-building process, and provides some additional buffering.Equilibrium relation can realize by different way, comprises the reciprocating motion connecting rod of any Swing Arm assembly of describing in this file for example.Body exercising machine 10 can so that carry out traditional treadmill body-building, perhaps be operated under ascending stair machine pattern by being with 18 maintenances static (motor cuts out) by a left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12 for example being locked in 10% required gradient together and operating under the treadmill pattern.Except several exceptions, the identical configuration that is used for the parts of other local rear drive embodiment that describes of this file is applicable to that usually the bottom of Figure 61 A drives embodiment.
Pedal assembly 12 pivots along common axis 330 and is connected on body exercising machine 10 under(-)chassis 14, although common axis not necessarily.Pedal assembly 12 pivots around its axle 330.Schematically, the pivotal axis 330 of pedal assembly 12 is the axles of driving shaft 82 that drive the driven roller separately of pedal assembly 12.The end of driving shaft 82 rests on the bearing of each pivot support frame 460 that stretches out from under(-)chassis 14.In one embodiment, driven roller is a skew roller 31.In other embodiments, driven roller is anterior roller 28 or rear portion roller 30.In each pedal assembly 12, skew roller 31 and anterior roller 28 or rear portion roller 30 form the triangle of putting upside down, and wherein front and rear roller 28,30 forms leg-of-mutton bottom, and skew roller 31 forms the summit.The leg-of-mutton height of vertical survey can be quite big to the limit from the bottom, shown in Figure 61 B, perhaps almost makes it very little with front and rear roller 28,30 formation straight lines by being offset roller 31.
If desired, the pivotal axis 330 of pedal assembly 12 can depart from driving shaft 82, wherein other structure support pivoting action.Pivot 220 can be fixed as shown in the figure, and is perhaps variable.Can use different institutions to form variable pivotal point, comprise a left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12 and driving shaft 82 are installed in the subframe, and between subframe and under(-)chassis 14, the variable position locking mechanism is set.Exemplary variable position locking mechanism is hole array and the interior spring-loaded bolt mechanism of subframe in the pivot support frame 460.Other mechanism comprises breach, clamping element or flange.
Body exercising machine 10 for application drawing 61A under normal mode, the user regulates cushioning effect and skew effect as required, setting foot on a left side and right side pin support platform (does not represent in Figure 61 A, but in other the local explanation of this file), on console, regulate fitness program (respectively the carrying 18 setting in motions an of left side and right-hand tread plate assembly 12) as required, and leave a left side and the right crus of diaphragm support platform is set foot on left respectively and the right side is with 18.The zone of preferably marking time among Figure 61 A embodiment is the zone (seeing Figure 61 B) between the line on the anterior roller 28 and the deck 26 of being intersected by the imaginary plane that extends from the deck by pivot axis 330 26.Therefore user's weight will be tending towards making that deck 26 pivots around pivot axis 330.
With reference to Figure 61, suppose user's walking or run (arrow is represented the motion with 18, and the side that the person of being to use takes in the opposite direction) on the direction of roller 28.In the normal mode shown in Figure 61 B operation, the user transfers to left-hand tread plate assembly 12B with its weight from right-hand tread plate assembly 12A (being with 18 carryings by movable along right-hand tread plate assembly 12A).The power that is applied on the left-hand tread plate assembly 12B is resisted by buffering resistance and biasing force, and this resistance depends on speed and along with speed and biasing force increase, biasing force depends on the biasing force of link position or biasing device.Unloaded and because the downward force on the left-hand tread plate assembly 12B is delivered to right-hand tread plate assembly 12A as upward force via moving back and forth the connecting rod (not shown), right-hand tread plate assembly 12A begins to lift by thereon pin.Then when lifting the pin on the right-hand tread plate assembly 12A become complete discharge and from the rear portion in the zone of marking time of pedal assembly 12A towards the front portion motion in the zone of marking time of pedal assembly 12A.Simultaneously, the pin that loads fully on the left-hand tread plate 12B carries towards the rear portion, deck of pedal assembly 12B with 18 by movable, and because weight, the gradient of left-hand tread plate assembly 12B reduces, and because biasing force and conveying capacity, the gradient of right-hand tread plate assembly 12A increases.Compare with high belt speed (fast paces), under low belt speed (slowly cutting down), pedal assembly 12 operations are by bigger circular arc zone, and other situation is identical.
If desired, pedal assembly 12 is with 18 can put upside down operation.If desired, arbitrary front and rear roller 28,30 can be made into driven roller.
Figure 62 A-62C: undecked body exercising machine
Pedal assembly shown in Figure 62 A is different from here, and other local pedal assembly part of describing is not have deck or deck suspension arrangement.
Deck 26 is common in the standard treadmill, and wherein they provide stability and buffering to a certain degree, cosily uses for a long time to help leg and pin.For other buffering being provided for leg, pin and back, treadmill can use and be located immediately at underdeck suspension arrangement.In a method, below flexible deck 26, use rubber bushing.Tradition treadmill band 18 has usually from 17 "-22 " wide and 51 "-61 " walking/surface of running grown.Figure 27-32 expression is used for the deck formula suspension arrangement according to pedal assembly 12 of the present invention.
Be known as Orbiter TMThe undecked treadmill of treadmill can be from Orbiter Treadmillof Highlands, and TX obtains.As stating in the product description, " major part is sold to the Orbiter of rehabilitation center TMTreadmill has rubber, hangs the operation surface, and this surface stretches (it is felt runs) on foot-operated the time on trampoline ".Though the Orbiter treadmill is vibration damping and effective body-building is provided effectively, described stretching can cause some user to feel unsettled sensation.The length surface of band is 56 ", width is 20 ".
Pedal assembly 12 shown in Figure 62 A, 62B, the 62C does not have deck and the following suspension arrangement that damping property is provided for the zone 462 of marking time.Because the size in the zone 462 of marking time of 40 inches long and 8 inches wide is relative little in Figure 62 A, 62B and the rear drive body exercising machine shown in the 62C, realizes good stable in pedal assembly.By using the carrying material of strengthening to improve general stability.For example can improve lateral stability by different modes by the edge of fiber grain or wirerope reinforcing band 18.In addition, can groove be set so that the edge of receive strengthening and will be in the roller zone with 18 by the roller on it 28,30 with under 18 horizontal tensions that remain on to a certain degree, and other wheel with groove or passage can be along two edge settings in the zone 462 of marking time, so that the reinforcement edge of splicing tpae 18, and under will be with 18 horizontal tensions that remain on to a certain degree on the zone 462 of marking time.
Pedal assembly 12 can be arranged in the zone of marking time the deck 26 with locks in place below 18, so that the walking/surface of running that stable and comfort cushioning are provided is so that normal body-building, perhaps can leave the position of marking time and be parked on the position, so that the people's that are specially adapted to bear the impact relevant with normal body-building the low impact walking/surface of running is provided.Three roller embodiment at other local movable band pedal assembly of describing of this file are specially adapted to this removable deck 26, and this is owing to have the enough spaces that are used for required mechanism in pedal assembly.
The front portion 22 of the front portion 22 of right-hand tread plate assembly 12A and left-hand tread plate assembly 12B by around be positioned at its separately the axis 330 at 24 places, rear end pivot and relative moving up and down.When the footrest frame side pipe on the inboard that is positioned at the adjacent right side and left-hand tread plate assembly 12 during movement mutually by the time, gap or space-alternating are opened and are closed.For for example prevent fragment and sweat via this gap undesirably near the internal structure of pedal 12 and under(-)chassis 14, use cover or similar structures to eliminate this gap.The cover that describes below also can be connected on the framework of body-building device, so as not with the pedal travel interference.
Figure 63 A-63X: two pedal/treadmill body-building device with different cover configurations
Shown in Figure 63 A, the body-building device equipment covers the bottom cover 464 of under(-)chassis.Bottom cover 464 comprises front portion 466, right side 468, left side 470, rear portion 472 and top 474.The top 474 of bottom cover 464 limits by anterior top surface 476, left top surface 478, right top surface 480 and rear portion top surface 482.The pedal opening 484 that is positioned at top 474 is by separating with top surface center band 486 that anterior top surface 476 is connected with rear portion top surface 482.Shown in Figure 63 A, right upright body 42 and left upright body 40 are connected on the under(-)chassis in conjunction with the right side 468 and the left side 470 of bottom cover.

Figure 72-74: deck locking mechanism
Figure 72 A-74 represents the different embodiment of locking mechanism 702.Usually, locking mechanism 702 can be fixed the height of one or two pedal 12, prevents further angular movement.When locking mechanism 702 during in the fixed position, the part of the part of locking mechanism and pedal 12 interacts, and prevents further pedal travel.With particular reference to accompanying drawing each interactional accurate performance is described.As selection, the pedal lower surface can rest on the part of this mechanism.This supporting prevents that one or more pedals from continuing it and moving up and down.
Figure 72 A represents to be placed on first embodiment of the locking mechanism 702 on the body-building device 10, describes in detail more in Figure 72 B.
With reference now to Figure 72 B,, can see the decomposition view of first embodiment 702 of locking mechanism.In this embodiment, the user pushes pedal 704, so that locking pedal 12.Pedal 704 is connected to bar 706, and bar 706 is connected on the pair of locking tab 708 then.Bar stria 710 extends through bar.Pivot 712 extends through bar stria 710, and is being connected on the pivot supports 714 on the either side of bar stria.One or more band andgudgeon chains 716 are anchored at lock tabs 708 on the main frame 14.Similarly, pivot supports 712 is fixed on the main frame 14 usually.In the present invention, lock tabs 708 is connected on the band andgudgeon chain 716 by locking upright body 718.Usually, locking upright body and lock tabs form the angle of 90 degree, although can select embodiment can change its scope.Generally speaking, lock tabs 708, locking upright body 718 and band andgudgeon chain 716 generally speaking are called " lock tabs structure " 722.Pivot stria 720 is illustrated among Figure 72 B, and is commonly used to replace bar stria 710, rather than combines with it.Therefore, most of embodiment 702 comprise one or another element, rather than both.But some embodiment can use bar stria 710 and the pivot stria 720 that mutually combines.
Figure 72 B represent to engage or latched position on locking mechanism 702.When locking mechanism during in unlocked state, the leading edge of the lock tabs 708 joint portion opposed edges of locking upright body 718 (promptly with) contacts main frame 14 usually.Pivot 714 then is positioned at the place, end of the bar stria 710 of the most close lock tabs 708 structures.
When pedal 704 was pushed, bar 706 was around pivot 714 rotation of roughly sliding, and wherein pivot moves along bar stria 710.Because lock tabs structure 722 is hingedly fixed on the main frame 14, locking upright body 718 can rotate around band andgudgeon chain 716, makes lock tabs 708 aim at pedal 12.In addition, when pedal 704 was pushed, pivot 712 slided towards pedal along bar stria 710 central axis.This lengthwise movement makes locking upright body 718 rotate as described.In this embodiment, locking upright body 718 clockwise rotates around band andgudgeon chain 716.
When lock tabs 708 moved to stand up position, their engaged along the groove or the passage (not shown) of location, pedal 12 bottoms, and its position is in the bottom of pedal itself, in the stop block 160 or be fixed on the stop block support 126,132.Passage can comprise buckle or spring support near on the point of channel end, and perhaps other produces noise and tab receiving system.When lock tabs 708 engages or promotes the noise generation device, " click is rattled away " that generation can be heard or other noise.This informs that user's lock tabs 708 suitably is seated in the passage, with the locking pedal travel.Alternate embodiments can be seated in lock tabs 708 in passage or the holder, and this passage or holder produce noise when receiving lock tabs, but however, still lock pedal travel regularly.
Passage (not shown among Figure 72 B) also can comprise upstanding flange or the protuberance perpendicular to lock tabs 708 traffic directions orientation, and upstanding flange or protuberance stretch out enough far away on passage, so that impact lock tabs in lock tabs when passage moves.Usually, enough softnesses of this protuberance and deformable make lock tabs 708 continue motion and surpass protuberance, and once more near the channel end location.Lock tabs 708 can comprise fit, and it leaves the distance of the leading edge of lock tabs and leaves channel end apart from identical with protuberance.When lock tabs 708 was impacted protuberances and/or be seated in protuberance in the fit, the tactile response that is produced can inform that also user's lock tabs suitably is seated in the passage.Described tactile response mechanism can be used in combination with the noise generation device.
Described passage can be parallel to main frame 14, and the leading edge of lock tabs 708 admission passage at first wherein, perhaps described passage can be perpendicular to main frames 14, wherein the top surface of lock tabs admission passage at first.Any multiple reaction mechanism (sense of touch or generation noise) can be used for any channels configuration.
Although lock tabs 708 is expressed as plane component in Figure 72 B, alternate embodiments can slight curving or remarkable more crooked tab.In this case, the cooperation passage on the pedal assembly 12 also can be crooked.Crooked lock tabs 708 is directed to downward force on the passage, therefore provides other resistance for the pedal that raises.In order to cooperate with crooked lock tabs 708, this passage is at the common broad in tab porch, and has the width of convergent along channel cavity.
In the embodiment shown in Figure 72 B, locking upright body 718 clockwise rotates around band andgudgeon chain 718.Can select among the embodiment, pivot 712 and bar stria 710 are configured such that locking upright body 718 rotates counterclockwise around band andgudgeon chain 716.In such an embodiment, pivot location is put upside down along bar stria 710.That is, though pedal 704 at raised position, pivot is positioned at the place, end of the bar stria 710 of close pedal.On the contrary, when pedal 704 pressed down, pivot 712 slided into the end of the bar stria 710 of the most close lock tabs structure 722.In addition, lock tabs 712 can be put upside down on orientation, so that point to towards pedal 704, thereby engages pedal 12 passages.Pivot 712/ bar stria 710 and lock tabs 708 are put upside down and can be adopted simultaneously in certain embodiments, and separately use in other embodiments.
In another embodiment, omit pedal 14 passages.In such an embodiment, pedal 14 simply rests on the lock tabs 708, prevents further angular movement.When adopting this " leaving standstill " embodiment, lock tabs 708 can be a T shape, so that provide other area supported for pedal 12.In addition, on bonding station, lock tabs 708 can towards or leave pedal 704 and point to, and do not consider the rotation direction of lock tabs structure 722.
Can select to omit bar stria 710 among the embodiment at another.If omit the bar stria, pivot supports 714 can be slided along the pivot stria 720 that is positioned at main frame 14 or other supporting structure.Usually, pivot supports 714 is slided in the mode of itself describing with respect to pivot 712.
In addition, the locking mechanism 702 shown in the figure CH1B can be provided with ratchet mechanism, makes to realize described locking process on the height of different pedals 12.
Lock pedal 12 simultaneously although described embodiment 702 is described as, alternate embodiments can be each pedal the pedal 704 separately and the configuration of lock tabs 708 is provided.In such an embodiment, press down pedal 704 and single lock tabs 704 can be swung to latched position, therefore interact with single pedal 12.Two locking mechanisms 702 can be synchronous, therefore two pedals 12 is locked on the equal angular, perhaps can carry out separately, makes each pedal lock on special angle.
Figure 73 represents selectable locking mechanism 724.Here, bar stria 726 is positioned on the end of the bar 728 relative with pedal 730, rather than along the length of bar.Therefore not that pivot is fixed in the pivot supports 734 along bar stria 726 sliding pivots 732, and occupy the fixed position along the length of bar 728.On the contrary, wheel bar 736 extends to bar stria 726 from the surface of locking wheel 738.Usually, when pedal 730 rises (corresponding with non-locked position), wheel bar 736 is positioned at the part than the bar stria 726 of close more pedal location, relative bar 729 ends.Pivot supports 734 is fixed on the main frame.
When pedal 730 promoted downwards, bar 728 rotated around pivot 732.This forces bar stria 726 upwards, then the 728 end driving wheel bars 736 along stria towards bar.Wheel bar 736 is along the lateral movement of bar stria 726 rotating drive locking wheel 738 in the clockwise direction.
Locking wheel 738 is connected on the locking cam 740 by axle 742.Locking cam 740 is connected on the cam supporting member 744, and the cam supporting member is fixed on the main frame 14 then, perhaps stable support.Locking cam 740 is configured to rotate around cam pivot 746.Locking wheel 738 can be connected on the wheel supporting member 748, and the wheel supporting member equally roughly is connected on the main frame 14.Wheel supporting member 748 or cam supporting member 746 do not prevent the degree that is enough to lock pedal 12 that turns to of locking wheel 738 or locking cam 740, further describe as following.
When locking cam 738 rotates, its turning cylinder 742, axle clockwise rotates locking cam 740 then.The axle 742 extensible locking cams 740 that pass through perhaps are connected on the locking cam at another some place along its surface so that stria cam pivot 746 can be connected on the opposite side of locking cam at the cam pivots point.Under any circumstance, cam supporting member 744 is configured such that the degree that axle 742 free rotating cams 740 do not impact scaffold 14 to being enough to lock pedal 12.
When locking cam 740 rotated, cam edge can contact pedal 12 surfaces.When cam extends fully, but the cam edge supporting pedal prevents the further angular movement or the rotation of pedal.As selection, cam edge can cooperate in stop block 160 with the passage on the pedal 12, perhaps is fixed on the stop block support 126,132.In addition, in certain embodiments, cam 740 edges can be included on the rotation direction from outward extending flange in this edge or protuberance (" cam flange ").The cam flange can also cooperate with passage with respect to the mode that Figure 72 B describes.
In alternate embodiments, locking wheel 738, wheel supporting member 748 and axle 742 can omit.In such an embodiment, wheel bar 736 is directly connected on the locking cam and drives locking cam, has similar locking effect.
Figure 74 represents the embodiment 750 of another locking mechanism.In this embodiment, the user can back-and-forth mode motion sliding handle 752.Sliding handle 752 is fixed on the sliding bar 754, and sliding bar is by sliding bearing 756 and end at slide key 758.When promoting sliding handle 752, sliding bar 754 moves through sliding bearing 756, drives slide key 758 on the equidirectional of sliding handle motion.When slide key 758 extends, can be stop block 160 in and be formed on the passage and the groove fit of pedal 12 bottom (not shown) at it, perhaps be fixed on the stop bracket 126,130.This cooperation locks one or two pedal 12, prevents that pedal from further moving.The sliding handle 752 withdrawal key 758 that moves in the opposite direction makes pedal 12 freely-movables.In certain embodiments, each pedal 12 sliding part 750 can be used to lock discontinuously pedal travel.

Cross tie part 792,794 operationally is connected to handlebar 788,790 on deck 12 or the upright body 784,786 usually.The exemplary interconnect part that is applicable to the embodiment of Figure 75 comprises impulse member, torsionspring, elastic component, rigid rod or the like.Term " deck " and " pedal assembly " 12 exchange use here.Should be understood that embodiment 780 expression shown in Figure 75 can be operationally connected to two kinds of different modes on the deck 12 by cross tie part 792,794 with handlebar 784,786, is used for handlebar and pedal assembly separately.Usually, for two handlebars, body-building device 10 will adopt identical interconnection structure.Therefore, the difference between the interconnection structure shown in Figure 75 simply is to be used to show two devices that can select embodiment.Figure 75 should not be considered as need be in single body-building device domestic demand otherwise with interconnection mechanism, although this situation can be left among some embodiment.But most of embodiment adopt single interconnection mechanism usually.
Turn back to Figure 75, and with respect to the upper body 760 and the pedal assembly 782 of the rightmost side, cross tie part 794 is directly connected to handlebar 790 on the part of assembly 12.Cross tie part 794 can for example be connected on the outside footrest frame.In this embodiment, cross tie part 794 can adopt the form of piston cylinder or solid hopkinson bar (Biao Shi solid hopkinson bar in the accompanying drawings).When cross tie part 794 was piston, the bottom almost fixed of cross tie part was connected on the pedal assembly.Therefore, when handlebar 790 moves up and down, piston rod from piston main body extend and withdrawal wherein so that keep contact between handlebar 790 and/or the pedal 782, therefore the user for body-building device provides stronger train on.
As selection, the regular length member of cross tie part 794 shown in can being.In this case, an end of cross tie part 794 stria or recess 796 common and on arbitrary pedal assembly 12 or the handlebar 790 cooperates.The stria 796 that cross tie part 794 (or be fixed on the cross tie part lateral elements) is installed on it is along arbitrary handlebar 790 or pedal assembly 782 longitudinal extensions.In this way, when the mutual pedal fix in position of arbitrary handlebar, cross tie part tiltable campaign makes another element freely carry out the motion of its four corner.
In another embodiment, moving both vertically of handlebar 790 and pedal 12 can be connected by cross tie part 794.In such an embodiment, stria 796 can omit, and cross tie part 794 also can comprise solid component.Here, the cross tie part 794 that is connected on one or two handlebar 790 and the pedal 782 can carry out hinged.Since the length of cross tie part 794 is fixed and cross tie part not in the side direction fortune merit of itself stroke, drive another element in the same manner by moving up and down of handlebar 790 or pedal 782.For example, when handlebar moved downward, pedal pushed away by being applied to via cross tie part under the downward force on the pedal.In this way, the motion of handlebar 790 can be used to drive moving both vertically of pedal 782, and perhaps vice versa.
In another embodiment, but handlebar 790 side direction rather than move both vertically.In such an embodiment, cross tie part 794 can drive by the handlebar motion and trample the band lateral movement, and perhaps vice versa.This embodiment describes in detail below more.
In any described embodiment, handlebar 790 can cross tie part tie point 798 and be fixed on pedal 12 or the other parts of body-building device 10 on the part of upright body 786 between some some place connect.Tie point 800 can be taked for example form of spring hinge (shown in Figure 75).
Turn to left upper portion main body shown in Figure 75 and pedal deck assembly now, cross tie part 792 extends between left side handle bar 780 and left side upright body 784 and connects on it as can be seen.If cross tie part 792 is piston as shown in the figure, the tie point between support 784 and the handlebar 788 is hinged on the piston usually so that extend and contraction so.Hinge 802 can be positioned on any point of handlebar 788 or upright body 784 length, as long as hinge is between the connecting rod piston end.As selection, when cross tie part 792 was taked the form of regular length member, the connection between handlebar 788 and the upright body 784 was normally fixed.
In the arbitrary embodiment shown in Figure 75, the motion of handlebar 788,790 can be used for driving to trample being with 18.Arbitrary cross tie part 792,794 or upright body 784,786 can be connected on the roller 804 below being with 18 trampling.When handlebar and upright body were one-piece construction, handlebar can be directly connected on the roller 804.Usually, the connection between roller and the handlebar can be considered another cross tie part, and this connection deck and handlebar the most at last interconnects.
When handlebar 788,790 motion, its angle that then arbitrary upright body 784,786 or cross tie part 792,794 (being connected on the roller 804 according to which) seesawed.Cross tie part 792,794 and upright body 784,786 can be connected on the roller 804 by unilateral bearing or ratchet and pawl assembly.In either case, when driving element moves backward (towards pedal 12 rear portions), its rotary roller 804 and top be with 18.When driving element travelled forward along with the motion of handlebar 788,790, supporting freewheel or ratchet were along ratchet (promptly operationally connecting the element that cross tie part and roller are thrown off).This makes driving element throw off roller 804, therefore guarantee to trample with 18 not with the natural direction reverse motions of user's pin motion.
Figure 76 represents another embodiment 800 in conjunction with the body-building device of double-deck pedal 808.In this embodiment, moving both vertically of pedal can drive by the reciprocal pivotal movement of handlebar 810.One end of handlebar 810 is connected on the framework 14 at the midpoint pivot of lengths of frame.Protuberance 812 extends internally from each handlebar 810.This protuberance 812 is illustrated in the centre of handlebar joint 814 in Figure 76, although protuberance be can't see from the outside in certain embodiments.Protuberance 812 is seated in stria 816 inside along the sidepiece of pedal assembly 808.When handlebar 810 promoted forward, protuberance 812 slided along pedal stria 816, and stria 816 forces pedal 808 upwards anterior then.Similarly, when handlebar 810 during towards the motion of the rear portion of pedal 808, protuberance 812 and stria 816 combine and drive the pedal front portion, so that pivot downwards.Usually, each pedal 808 is fixed on the axle 818 that extends through the pedal rear portion and rotates about it.Therefore, " making progress " described herein and " downwards " motion flange are actually around the rotation or the angular movement at pedal 808 rear portions.In addition, when pedal 808 during in fully downward position, two handlebars 810 are rotatably mounted on the point 820 of body-building device 806 (perhaps along the point perpendicular to the parallel lines location of the long axis of body-building device) usually, forward up to the front end of pedal stria 816 or leading (shown in Figure 76) slightly.Handlebar 810 rotates around this point 820 usually, and therefore can connect by any device that allows this rotation.Although pedal stria 816 is expressed as roughly extending along the first half parts of pedal 808 in Figure 76, it can be positioned on any point along pedal.Pedal stria 816 is long more, and the angular movement of pedal 808 is big more.Similarly, locate the closer to stria at the pedal rear portion, and the angle that pedal is realized around axle is big more.
In certain embodiments, pedal 808 can interconnect by connecting rod 822 (shown in Figure 76 dotted line).Usually, connecting rod 822 is the mechanical linkages that power can be delivered to another pedal from a pedal 808.In certain embodiments, wave interconnecting assembly and can replace this connecting rod, use connecting rod 808 or described common axis 808, but many embodiment adopt both.When a pedal 808 (up or down) when motion on assigned direction, connecting rod 822 drives second pedal in the opposite direction.Connecting rod 822 can for example take the to pivot form (Z-shaped component representation is in Figure 76) of Z or C shape member, wherein a left side is connected on the hinged member of stria, chamber recess and relative pedal 808 separately with right member 824,826.Usually, left and right member 824,826 is connected on the madial wall or under(-)chassis of pedal, makes can to avoid and pedal and relevant with the interference between 18.In order to continue this example, when a pedal pushed away for 808 times, left member 824 slided along the recess that is limited in the left-hand tread plate 808, and perhaps hinged member rotation and the pedal around connecting rod moves on roughly downward direction.This motion pivots connecting rod 822 around its pivotal point, promote right member 826 along the right-hand tread plate recess on the direction that roughly makes progress then, therefore applies power upwards on second pedal, and it is lifted.
Be connected under the situation on the pedal 808 with protuberance 812 and stria 816 structures at handlebar 810 and/or upright body (if use and separate) with handlebar, shown in Figure 76, connecting rod 822 also can before and after driving handle member 810.Even without connecting rod 822, handle can drive in the motion by pedal 808, wherein for example each pedal lift and reduce by servo motor or for example the resistance element of torsionspring or piston (not shown) control.
Body-building device can use resistance element to strengthen effect.For example, Figure 77 is illustrated in the handlebar structure 832 embodiment in conjunction with the body-building device 828 of resistance element 830.Usually, body-building device 828 comprises two pedals 834 and two handlebars.For front embodiment, the front portion of pedal 834 can pump, and the rear portion of each pedal does not raise usually and reduces.The pedal rear portion is fixed on the main frame 14, perhaps on the other parts of body-building device 828, makes that pedal 834 rotates around the rear end of pedal when lifting and reducing in the pedal front portion.
Each handlebar 832 is anchored on the front body structure 836 by upright body 838 usually, perhaps selectively is directly connected on the front body structure.Handlebar 832 pivots or is slidably connected on the upright body 838.In current embodiment, connect the form of taking hinge or pivot 840.Each handlebar is fixed on piston or other resistance element 830 equally, and resistance element is connected on the front body structure 836 then.Although expression piston 830 can replace with spring member in Figure 77.The part of the handlebar 832 of pivotal point back is called " handle rear portion " 842, and the part of pivotal point front portion is called " handle front portion " 844.
Usually, the motion of piston 830 opposing handlebars 832 on the equidirectional that is applied to handle rear portion 842, applies power on the front portion 844 of handlebar.Because the handle front and rear pivots around hinge 840, piston 830 increases the difficulty of motion handle 832.This can provide the upper limbs train on of enhancing then for the user of body-building device 828.Can select among the embodiment, front body structure 836 can be omitted, and piston 830 can be connected on the other parts of body-building device.
In addition, with reference to Figure 77 and 78 both, piston cylinder 848 extensible by piston main body 850 and enter the front body structure and framework 14 in, finally be fixed on the part of pedal assembly 834, on for example anterior roller 852.In such an embodiment, piston 830 can spur or promote pedal 834 on the equidirectional of handle front portion 844 (or the handle 832 among Figure 78) motion.Stria can be bending or straight line.Piston cylinder 843 is connected on the pedal 834 via stria; Stria also makes pedal with the motion of upper and lower formula, remains connected on the bar simultaneously.
In some embodiment 846, piston 830 can be placed between handlebar 832 and the front body structure 836, wherein omits described upright body 838.In such an embodiment, hinge 840 is the tie points between handlebar 832 and the agent structure 14.This is in the clear expression of Figure 78.
This embodiment 846 is fixed on (perhaps main frame 14) on the pedal structure 834 by articulated section 840 with each handlebar 832.For example an end of the resistance element 830 of buffer piston device is connected on the handlebar 832 at some some place along handlebar length on the articulated section 840 usually, and the other end is connected on the part of main frame 14.Usually, pin joint 840 is as fulcrum, and handlebar 832 can rotate around it.Piston 830 some some place between pin joint 840 and handlebar end is connected on the handlebar 832.Main frame 14 or pedal assembly 834 are as the anchor structure of piston, and piston 830 is fixing, and the resistance of piston generation is distributed on the enough big stationary object, so that prevent body-building device 846 undesirable motions.But here, the motion that is applied in resistance mainly is side direction and angular movement, rather than mainly moving both vertically of producing of Figure 77 illustrated embodiment.
Figure 79 A-81: the back pivot height is regulated
The different views of an embodiment of Figure 79-79 expression governor motion 854, governor motion is configured to regulate the back pivot height of pedal 12.Usually, embodiment 854 can be used for any pedal described herein.Can be with reference to the following description of governor motion 854, and suppose that single adjustment structure is used for regulating the height of each pedal 12.Should be understood that and to select among the embodiment height adjustment mechanism 854 can be configured to regulate the height of a plurality of pedals 12.
With reference now to Figure 79,, can see the side view of the pair of pedals 12 on the current embodiment that can be operationally connected to governor motion 854.The part of this structure is fixed on another steady component of pedal bottom, main frame 14 or body-building device on (" supporting member ").In article, " stablizing " refers to not a part or the element along with the body-building device 10 of one or two pedal travel.Usually, embodiment 854 comprises opposite side portion support 856, and each support is fixed on the supporting member.Stria 858 is formed in each side bracket, and extends from the supporting member approximate vertical.Can select among the embodiment, stria 858 can an angle leave the supporting member extension, can be arc, can be parallel to supporting member and extend (moving so that change side direction pedal 12) or the like.
Regulate pin 862 to small part and remain in the stria 858, be operably connected at least one height adjustment mechanism 860, extend through space (shown in Figure 79 C) in rear portion roller 864, opening or the pedal, and end at second stria.Can select among the embodiment, regulate pin 862 and end at a series of recesses that are designed to receive the pin end, perhaps end at and second height adjustment element 860.In another embodiment, height adjustment element 860 can be positioned on the sidepiece of the pedal 12 relative with supporting bracket 856, and sells 862 and can end at height adjustment element.Height adjustment element 860 can be configured to carry out continuously or interrupted the adjusting.
The overall operation of embodiment 854 is roughly described with reference to figure 79A.Height adjustment element 860 can be operated so that raise or reduce and regulate pin 862.When regulating the position adjustments of pin, corresponding rising in the rear portion of pedal 12 or reduction.In current embodiment 854, this rising and reduction only influence the height at pedal 12 rear portions.The height of pedal front portion and overall pedal lift remain unchanged.Usually, the top of stria 858 and bottom limit the minimum and maximum height that pin 862 raises or reduces.(for example, " lift " is defined as the vertical range of the anterior operation of pedal between the minimum and peak that moves both vertically by pedal).
Figure 79 B represents the stereogram of the current governor motion 854 that (pedal 12 sides) are seen from supporting bracket 856 inside.Here, height adjustment element 860 is taked the form of screw rod, is thread regulator 866 or sleeve and regulate being operatively connected between pin 862 and the height adjustment element.Prevent that by pin 862 thread regulator 866 from rotating.Therefore, when screw rod rotates 860, rotate and the spiral traffic direction according to screw rod, thread regulator spurs the screw rod main body up or down.When governor sleeve 866 motions, pin 862 and pedal assembly 12 move equally.
Figure 79 C represents to be connected to the rearview of the pedal 12 on the current embodiment of governor motion 854.As can be seen, the governor motion shown in Figure 79 B 854 extends along pedal 12 both sides.Can select embodiment can adopt single thread regulator 866 and only be positioned at screw rod 860 on pedal one side, rather than shown two configurations.
Shown in Figure 79 C, motor can be encapsulated in the motor box 868.Motor box 868 also can be fixed on pedal assembly 12, thread regulator 860 and regulate on one of pin 862, so that make motor box raise and reduction along with pedal.In this way, in the rotating band (not illustrating) that extends between motor and the pedal roller 864, keep suitable tension force, therefore make pedal 12 mechanized operations at Figure 79 C, and less than loose or tensioning rotating band inadequately.Be fixed under the situation that can not move up and down on the supporting member at rotating band, reducing pedal 12 can loose inadequately band, so motor can not suitably drive pedal.Similarly, when pedal raise in this case, the length of rotating band can make pedal can not raise by certain height.
Figure 79 D represents to be used for the device 870 that tensioning is connected to the rotating band 874 on two adjustable pedals shown in Figure 79 A-79C and the non-height governor motor.But stretcher 870 splicing tpaes 874.In current example, stretcher can comprise the roller 872 of the bottom 876, spring or elastomer 878 and the splicing tpae that are installed on the supporting member.Spring 878 is configured to spur roller 872 downwards with enough power, so that keep rotating band 874 suitable tensionings.When pedal 12 raise, spring 878 stretched, and this will apply additional downward force via roller 872 on 874.Similarly, when pedal 12 reduced, spring shrank, and applies less downward force on tape via roller.Spring 878 is calibrated usually so that guarantee to keep suitable tensioning in rotating band 874, and no matter step height supposes that step height remains in the adjustable range of height adjustment element 869.
(not shown) in another embodiment, stretcher 870 can replace by nutted rod.One end of bar can be connected to be regulated on the pin 862, and the other end is connected on the motor box 868.When pin raise and reduce, nutted rod can be along the arc in the supporting member 856 and the inclination stria motor box that seesaws.Because nutted rod length is fixed the distance minimum change between motor and the pedal roller.This tensioning of guaranteeing rotating band 274 remains in the proper range.
In another embodiment, nutted rod can omit, and makes the user as required along arc stria sledge motor case 868, so that keep the rotating band tensioning.In such an embodiment, motor box 868 can pass through clamping element, screw and other similar device fix in position, does not slide when starting so that guarantee motor.
Alternate embodiment of the present invention 10 can adopt differing heights governor motion 854.For example, screw rod 860 can be that the support that is connected to supporting bracket 856 replaces with the inclination stria or the recess that are formed in the supporting bracket by one.In another embodiment, height adjustment element 860 form of jacking system of pin of can taking to raise.In another embodiment, regulating pin 862 can be to spur the surface of leaving height adjustment element and the bias voltage that automatically returns to the position that engages with regulating element when pin unclamps " ejection pin ".
So other place of file is described, and pedal 12 can be locked on the angle, so that level, have a down dip or the single treadmill operation of updip simulation (locking mode).Pedal also can freely move back and forth (non-locking pattern).Figure 80 A represents that pedal operates under the non-locking pattern, wherein the pedal rear portion is on the extreme lower position that described governor motion 854 provides.Popular, the extreme lower position of governor motion 854 refers to " high position ", and this is because it forms maximum inclination between pedal rear portion and pedal front portion at maximum operation height (promptly by the maximum magnitude of pedal around the angular movement of rear portion pedal shaft) when the pedal front portion.Figure 80 B represents to be locked in the pedal 16 on the high position.
Because pedal 12 can occupy the high position, they can occupy lower position equally.Usually, the lower position of pedal 12 is corresponding by the maximum height that governor motion 854 raises with the pedal rear portion.When pedal front portion during, between pedal rear portion and front portion, form minimum cant at its maximum operation height.Even the pedal front portion is under the situation that maximum is extended, according to the lift of pedal 12, this can be corresponding with the angle of inclination of pedal.Figure 81 represents to occupy Figure 80 A and described each pedal 12 high and lower position of 80B.A pedal 12 is illustrated on each position.Rearmost pedal is on the high position, and top pedal occupies lower position.Shown in Figure 81, in certain embodiments, the height of pedal 12 can be regulated separately, so that make each pedal occupy diverse location.
As mentioned above, when the governor motion 854 that each pedal 12 is provided with separately, the pedal rearward height can be regulated separately.In this case, in fact pedal can be provided for different updips and the angle that has a down dip, and makes the user that the pedal operation angle is set as required.
Figure 82-83F: pedal lift governor motion
Figure 82 represents the embodiment of pedal lift governor motion 880.This embodiment can change the beginning of lift of one or two pedal 12 and halt (i.e. the angle of the minimum and peak that moves both vertically of the qualification pedal of measuring from main frame and body-building device bottom)." lift " is commonly referred to as the vertical range of pedal 12 operations.In addition, this embodiment also can change the operation angle of pedal in it moves both vertically process.
With reference now to Figure 82-83B, the practical structures of lift governor motion 880 is described.Pivot supports 882 can be connected on the main frame 14 or another steady component of body-building device 10 on (supporting member)." stablize " in this article that refer to not need be along with the part or the element of the body-building device of one or two pedal travel.Lift bar 884 is pivotally connected on the pivot supports 882 around pivotal point 886.Lift bar 884 surpasses pivotal point 886 and extends on both direction, and moves perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of pedal 12.Although only represent a bearing of trend among Figure 88, in Figure 83 A, know more and see two bearing of trends.Lift bar 884 can be put the fixed angle of motion around pivotal point 886.Lift regulating part 880 is operably connected on the pedal 12 by angle adjustment mechanism, is described in more detail as following.
Lift is regulated the part of support (lift regulating part) 888 around the lift bar.The lift handle 890 that is called the lift drawing article equally is connected on the lift regulating part.A series of lift recesses 892 are limited on the fixed intervals along the longitudinal axis of lift bar 884.Lift pin 894 (its end is illustrated among Figure 82) by the outlet in lift recess and the lift regulating part at least a portion, and the one end is fixedly attached on the lift handle.Figure 83 B represents the stereogram of lift regulating part 888 and lift drawing article 890.
Lift handle 890 can outwards spur and leave lift bar 884 and regulating part 888, so that lift pin 894 is broken away from lift recess 892.When the lift pin broke away from, the lift regulating part can move along the longitudinal axis of lift bar.Because lift drawing article 890 is fixed on the lift regulating part 888, drawing article and pin 894 also can be along with the motions of lift regulating part.Can select among the embodiment, lift drawing article 890 is detachably connected on the lift regulating part 888, therefore makes drawing article and lift pin 890 dismantle fully and insert wherein from this embodiment.When lift regulating part 888 was positioned on the lift recess 892 with its outlet, lift pin 894 can insert recess, therefore lift regulating part structure was fixed on the lift bar 884.Can select among the embodiment, lift drawing article 890 and lift pin 894 can be towards the central spring bias voltages of lift pin 884.Therefore, the lift pin can be oppressed the lift recess that enters suitable aligning automatically.This bias voltage also helps in the operation of mechanism lift pin 894 to be held in place.Popular, this structure is called " ejecting pin ".
With reference now to Figure 83 C, adopt current lift governor motion 880 to carry out different adjustment so that describe.Usually, away from pivotal point 886 location, pedal 12 is the vertical range big more (converting angle to) of operation in operation more for lift regulating part 888.This is illustrated among Figure 83 C, is represented by the angle rod of plant oneself " B ".The corresponding stroke angle [alpha] B of the angle between pedal minimum and the maximum height is represented in same expression.
Near pivotal point 886 movement travel regulating parts 888, and seat puts the lift pin by more, and the vertical range (lift) that pedal 12 operations are passed through can be minimum.Therefore, " B " moves to position " A " angle [alpha] is reduced to α A from angle [alpha] B from the position with lift regulating part 888 and angle rod shown in Fig. 8 C.This with lift regulating part 888 and relevant angle rod 896 from the position " B " to move to position " A " corresponding.
Pedal 12 will experience some lift, and not consider wherein which lift recess 892 lift pin 894 is seated in, unless the embodiment of this mechanism makes the lift pin accurately be seated in pivotal point 886 places.Because pedal 12 has regular length, lift regulating part 888 is put the closer to the pivotal point seat, and the pedal angle of inclination is big more, and both are positioned at minimum and maximum lift point, supposes that the distance between lift bar 884 and the pedal bottom keeps constant.Similarly, lift regulating part 888 is put the closer to the pivotal point seat, and the work angle more little (the stroke angles α of Figure 83 C) of pedal 12 experience supposes that once more the distance between lift bar 884 and the pedal bottom keeps constant." work angle " refers to when height is operated in the pedal front portion from its minimum to maximum, the angle of pedal 12 bottoms operation.
Turn back to Figure 82, except regulating lift, embodiment 880 also can be adjusted in the angle (respectively do for oneself " beginning angle " and " stop angle ") of the pedal 12 of its minimum and maximum perpendicular extended spot.Angle rod 896 is hingedly connected on the lift regulating part 888.Be articulated and connected and guarantee that angle rod 896 keeps vertical when 884 vibrations of lift bar.As lift bar 884, angle rod 896 comprises along the linear a series of angle recesses 898 that limit of its longitudinal axis.Angle pin 899 can be seated in the angle recess.Angle pin 899 is fixedly attached on the angle drawing article 897, and can break away from angle recess 898 by angle rod 896 is left in the motion of angle drawing article.Usually, angle drawing article 897 is operably connected on the angular adjustment part 895.Angular adjustment part 895 comprises the angle outlet (not shown) that angle pin 899 to small part is passed through.When the angle pin when the angle recess is dismantled, the angular adjustment part can slide along angle rod.Angle pin 899 is placed on can be with angular adjustment part 895 fix in position in the angle recess.
For lift drawing article 898, angle drawing article 897 and angle pin 899 can be fully from 895 dismountings of angular adjustment part, and perhaps the angle drawing article can only move and leave angular adjustment part fixed range.In addition, as described in respect to lift pin 894, angle drawing article 897 and pin 899 can be taked the form of described ejection pin towards angle rod 896/ angle recess spring bias voltage.
The pedal connector (not shown) of the top end of angular adjustment part 895 by being positioned at the angular adjustment part is connected on the pedal assembly 12 and (is typically connected on the pedal bottom).The pedal connector can with extend perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of pedal 12 or cooperating with the reception cavity or the stria that extend on the equidirectional of lift bar 884.This structure is called " pedal bottom stria " here.When lift regulating part 888 when lift bar 884 moves, pedal connector stria below pedal moves, so as with angle rod 896 keep vertical orientated relatively on.As selection, the pedal connector can be taked the form of the U-joint that cooperates with the fixed rear portion of pedal 12.U-joint can keep the upright orientation of angle rod 896.Similarly, the connection between lift regulating part 888 and the angle rod 896 can also be a U-joint.
Again with reference to figure 83C, when angular adjustment part 895 when angle rod 896 moves, the variable in distance between the bottom of lift bar 884 and pedal 12.When this variable in distance, beginning and stop angle change equally, although stroke angles can be constant.Usually, when angular adjustment part 895 during near lift bar 884, beginning and stop angle become sharp-pointed (reducing) more, and when angular adjustment part 895 leaves the lift bar, begin and stop angle rust (increase).Preferably, beginning and stop angle are offset the base plane angle beta separately, shown in Figure 83 C.When angular adjustment part 895 along angle rod 896 in the position when " C " (seeing Figure 83 F), deviation angle equals angle beta C.If angular adjustment part 895 moves to position " D ", deviation angle is increased to angle beta D.
Figure 84 A, 84B and 86: modular
Body-building device 10 can adopt multiple modular, and this can help to transport, pack, deposit or the like.An embodiment of Figure 84 A and 84B representation module pedal and belfry 1200.Usually, this embodiment comprises at least one pedal assembly 1202, main frame assembly 1204, connector 1206 and optional lid 1208 (Figure 84 B is clear to be illustrated).In broad terms, pedal assembly 1202 can be installed in the main frame assembly 1204, and connects on it by connector 1206.Connector 1206 is designed to and can dismantles, so that make embodiment 1200 dismountings, pedal assembly 1202 is removably mounted on the main frame assembly 1204 in this case, and perhaps connector can for good and all be fixed on pedal assembly on the main frame assembly.Under any circumstance, the total structure of the embodiment 1200 that is formed by its building block is roughly the same.
With reference to figure 84A, pedal assembly 1202 comprises to be trampled with 1208 continuously, is positioned to trample strap end portion and an inboard roller 1210 and be fixed on the pedal rear end place and extends through band gear 1212 on the axle 1214 of roller.Axle 1214 can also be the integral part of roller 1210, rather than simply extends through wherein.In current embodiment 1202, the free end of axle 1214 screws in, so that receive the mandrel connector 126 of taking cubic nut or nut form.Can select among the embodiment, but mandrel connector 1216 buckles or be force-fitted on the axle 1214 rather than revolve thereon, perhaps between forms the adhesive combination.

When right sleeve 962 " when moving downward, hawser 948 is along right rectangular column 958 " pulling downwards.This causes hawser 948 along the upwards pulling of left rectangular column 958 ' then, and this upwards spurs left sleeve 962 ', thus the power that makes progress is applied on the left-hand tread plate 12.
On the contrary, shown in Figure 106, when user's left foot promoted downwards on left-hand tread plate 12, left-hand tread plate moved downward, and guides by left sleeve 962 ' along left rectangular column 958 '.Meanwhile, in one embodiment, left-hand tread plate 12 can center on its pivotal point 330 (being the pivotal point between left U-shaped connecting elements 964 ' or support and the left-hand tread plate 12) and pivot.
When left sleeve 962 ' moved downward, hawser 948 was along the pulling downwards of left rectangular column 958 '.This causes hawser 948 then along right rectangular column 958 " upwards pulling, this upwards spurs right sleeve 962 ", thus the power that makes progress is applied on the right-hand tread plate 12.
As mentioned above, in one embodiment, pedal 12 pivots and is connected to U-shaped connecting elements 964 ', 964 " or support on, make when support along upright body 958 ', 958 " when moving up and down, pedal 12 can be with respect to support 964 ', 964 " pivot.Therefore, in one embodiment, spring or return force are included in the pivot structure between support and the pedal.Spring is biased into uppermost position with pedal, but makes pedal pivot under load downwards.
For example, in use, when left foot impacted the left-hand tread plate 12 of close pivotal point 330, the free end of left-hand tread plate deflected down (pivot) from its uppermost position.Since left foot quite near pivot to connect 330 and the some place of support 964 ' impact pedal, the power that pedal applies according to the user and return or the resistance of spring force pivots downwards.
When user's left foot moved backward, it left the distance increase of pivot connection 330, and therefore increase of power, caused pedal 12 further pivots downwards.When user's left foot setting in motion arrived user's health back, weight was transferred to right crus of diaphragm usually, and the load on the left foot begins to reduce.Therefore, leave pivotal point 330 though left foot continues motion, increase the distance that load applies thus, power reduces, and therefore moves to the user afterwards the time when left foot, and deflecting down of pedal 12 reduces, stops or putting upside down.
In case left foot leaves pedal 12, the spring return force causes pedal 12 to be pivoted to its uppermost position, prepares left foot and tramples next time.Described identical process appears for right crus of diaphragm and right-hand tread plate 12.At first downwards and motion backward, heel reduces faster left foot than toe in the circulation of impacting and lifting, up to pin by till under people's health.At some some place after this, toe begins to reduce with identical speed with heel.Gradually, heel begins than the faster rising of toe, till lifting from pedal 12.
In one embodiment, the rear portion roller 30 of each pedal 12 can be used as the driven roller operation, so that trample band around the roller driving of pedal 12.In another embodiment, the anterior roller 28 of each pedal is operated as driven roller.In one embodiment, each driven roller has the monoblock type motor that is positioned at driven roller, so that drive driven roller.In another embodiment, each driven roller drives by the motor that is installed on the footrest frame separately.
In one embodiment, driven roller can drive trampling of pedal 12 and be with 18 on direction forward or backward.This make the user on body exercising machine 10 forward or towards the back body-building.
