Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Einstellen einer physikalischen Größe, insbesondere an einer Induktionsbremse für einen Heimtrainer. Die Vorrichtung umfasst ein Einstellrad, an welchem ein Bediener zum Einstellen der Größe drehen kann. Die Vorrichtung umfasst ein Getriebe und einen Bowdenzug zum Übertragen einer Drehbewegung des Einstellrades auf das einzustellende Teil, zum Beispiel der Induktionsbremse.The invention relates to a device for adjusting a physical quantity, in particular to an induction brake for a home trainer. The apparatus includes a dial on which an operator can rotate to adjust the size. The device comprises a gear and a Bowden cable for transmitting a rotational movement of the adjusting wheel on the part to be adjusted, for example, the induction brake.

Eine derartige Vorrichtung zum Einstellen einer Induktionsbremse ist von Heimtrainern der Anmelderin in vielfacher Ausführung in den Verkehr gebracht worden. Die Kopplung zwischen dem Einstellrad und dem Bowdenzug erfolgt dabei über eine Spindel, die über Getriebe von dem Einstellrad angetrieben wird. Mittels der Spindel wird ein Schieber linear bewegt, der fest mit einem Innenzug des Bowdenzugs verbunden ist. Damit kann der Innenzug des Bowdenzugs aus dem Führungsschlauch des Bowdenzugs herausgezogen oder aber zurück in den Führungsschlauch geschoben werden.Such an apparatus for adjusting an induction brake has been marketed by home trainers of the Applicant in many embodiments. The coupling between the setting wheel and the Bowden cable is carried out via a spindle which is driven by gears of the setting. By means of the spindle, a slider is moved linearly, which is firmly connected to an inner cable of the Bowden cable. Thus, the inner cable of the Bowden cable can be pulled out of the guide tube of the Bowden cable or pushed back into the guide tube.

Der Nachteil der bisherigen Antriebe ist, dass der volle Einstellweg erst durch mehrmalige Umdrehung des Einstellrades durchfahren werden kann. Eine Einstellung der Induktionsbremse des Heimtrainers mit einem einzigen Handgriff ist somit nicht möglich. Vielmehr muss der Bediener nach jeder Umdrehung umgreifen, um eine weitere Umdrehung durchzuführen. Dieses wird von dem Bediener als unkomfortabel empfunden.The disadvantage of the previous drives is that the full adjustment can be traversed only by repeated rotation of the dial. An adjustment of the induction brake of the exercise bike with a single handle is therefore not possible. Rather, the operator must engage after each revolution to perform another revolution. This is perceived by the operator as uncomfortable.

Hier setzt die vorliegende Erfindung an.This is where the present invention begins.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine für den Bediener komfortablere Einstellvorrichtung vorzuschlagen.The present invention has for its object to propose a more comfortable for the operator setting.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass das Getriebe so abgestimmt ist, dass mit weniger als einer Umdrehung des Einstellrades die einzustellende Größe des einzustellenden Teils vollständig einstellbar ist. Der Bediener kann dann ohne umgreifen zu müssen mit einem Handgriff eine vollständige Einstellung der Induktionsbremse des Heimtrainers vornehmen, um die gewünschte Bremskraft einzustellen.This object is achieved in that the transmission is tuned so that with less than one turn of the dial the size to be set of the part to be adjusted is completely adjustable. The operator can then perform a complete adjustment of the induction brake of the exercise bike without having to reach around in order to set the desired braking force.

Das Getriebe, mit welchem die Bewegung des Einstellrades auf den Bowdenzug übertragen wird, ist vorzugsweise ein Stirnradgetriebe.The transmission, with which the movement of the adjusting wheel is transmitted to the Bowden cable, is preferably a spur gear.

Das die Bewegung vom Einstellrad auf den Bowdenzug zu übertragene Getriebe kann ein erstes Zahnrad umfassen, das mit dem Einstellrad drehfest verbunden ist. Das Getriebe kann ferner das zweite Zahnrad umfassen. Dieses zweite Zahnrad kämmt vorzugsweise das erste Zahnrad. Das zweite Zahnrad kann ein Abtriebsteil umfassen, das zum Wandeln einer Drehbewegung in eine Linearbewegung mit einem Innenzug des Bowdenzugs gekoppelt ist. Das Abtriebsteil kann einstückig mit dem übrigen Zahnrad verbunden sein. Ebenfalls ist eine mehrteilige Ausführung möglich.The transmission to be transmitted from the adjusting wheel to the Bowden cable transmission may comprise a first gear which is rotatably connected to the dial. The transmission may further include the second gear. This second gear preferably meshes with the first gear. The second gear may include an output member coupled to an inner cable of the Bowden cable for converting rotary motion into linear motion. The output member may be integrally connected to the rest of the gear. Also, a multi-part design is possible.

Das Abtriebsteil ist zumindest in einem Abschnitt zylindrisch ausgeführt. Ein erstes Ende des Innenzugs kann dann an dem Abtriebsteil befestigt sein, wobei der Innenzug zumindest in einer Endstellung des einzustellenden Teils über den zylindrischen Abschnitt geführt ist, d. h. gewissermaßen über den zylindrischen Abschnitt des Abtriebsteils aufgewickelt werden kann. Ein zweites Ende des Innenzugs des Bowdenzugs kann an dem zu verstellenden Teil befestigbar sein. Ein Außenzug oder mit anderen Worten ein Führungsschlauch des Bowdenzugs kann an einem Gehäuseteil der Vorrichtung festgelegt sein. Dieses kann beispielsweise unter Zwischenschaltung eines Befestigungsteils erfolgen.The driven part is cylindrical at least in one section. A first end of the inner cable can then be attached to the driven part, wherein the inner cable is guided over the cylindrical portion at least in an end position of the part to be adjusted, that is, as it were, can be wound over the cylindrical portion of the driven part. A second end of the inner cable of the Bowden cable can be fastened to the part to be adjusted. An outer train or in other words a guide tube of the Bowden cable can be fixed to a housing part of the device. This can be done, for example, with the interposition of a fastening part.

Mit dem Getriebe kann ein Potentiometer verbunden sein, mit welchem die Stellung der Einstellvorrichtung an einer Recheneinheit gemeldet werden kann.A potentiometer can be connected to the transmission, with which the position of the adjusting device can be reported to a computing unit.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Einstellen der Induktionsbremse des Heimtrainers, nämlich zum Einstellen des Abstandes der Magnete von der Schwungscheibe umfasst ein Gehäuse mit einer Gehäuseoberschale 2 und einer Gehäuseunterschale 3. In und an dem Gehäuse sind wesentliche Teile der Verstellvorrichtung angebracht. Die Gehäuseoberschale und die Gehäuseunterschale 3 sind über Schrauben 12 miteinander verschraubt (Fig. 3, Fig. 5). Das Gehäuse kann an einem Rahmenteil des Heimtrainers befestigt werden. Die Befestigung erfolgt mittels einer Schlossschraube 9, welche einen das Gehäuse durchgreifenden Dom 2a der Oberschale 2 durchgreift, eine an den Dom anstoßende Hülse 7 ebenfalls durchgreift und unter Zwischenschaltung einer Unterlegscheibe 10 in eine Mutter 11 eingeschraubt ist. Die Hülse 7 und damit auch die Schraube 9 durchgreifen eine Querbohrung in dem Rahmenteil so dass die Mutter 11 und das Gehäuse 2, 3 auf verschiedenen Seiten dieses Rahmenteils liegen. Durch ein Anziehen der Mutter 11 kann die Befestigung des Gehäuses 2, 3 an dem Rahmenteil gesichert werden. Eine Abdeckkappe 8, die auf das aus dem Rahmenteil herausragende Ende der Schraube 9 und die Mutter 11 aufgesetzt werden kann, schützt einen Benutzer des Heintrainers vor Verletzungen.The inventive device for adjusting the induction brake of the exercise bike, namely for adjusting the distance of the magnets of the flywheel comprises a housing having a housing upper shell 2 and a housing lower shell 3. In and on the housing essential parts of the adjusting device are mounted. The upper housing shell and the lower housing shell 3 are screwed together by means of screws 12 (FIGS. 3, 5). The housing can be attached to a frame part of the exercise bike. The attachment is effected by means of a carriage bolt 9, which passes through a housing 2 a penetrating through the dome of the upper shell 2, a likewise abuts the Dom abutting sleeve 7 and is screwed with the interposition of a washer 10 in a nut 11. The sleeve 7 and thus also the screw 9 pass through a transverse bore in the frame part so that the nut 11 and the housing 2, 3 lie on different sides of this frame part. By tightening the nut 11, the attachment of the housing 2, 3 can be secured to the frame part. A cap 8, which can be placed on the protruding from the frame part end of the screw 9 and the nut 11, protects a user of Heintrainers from injury.

An der Gehäuseoberschale 2 ist ein Einstellrad 4 drehbar angebracht, mit welchem der Bediener beziehungsweise Benutzer des Heimtrainers die Einstellung der Induktionsbremse vornehmen kann. Dieses Handrad ist drehfest mit einem ersten Zahnrad 13 gekoppelt. Dieses erste Zahnrad ist an der Gehäuseoberschale 2 gelagert und überträgt eine Drehbewegung des Einstellrades 4 auf ein zweites Zahnrad 5. Dieses zweite Zahnrad 5 hat mehrere Funktionen in der dargestellten Einstellvorrichtung. Es hat zum einen die Funktion, die Drehbewegung vom Handeinstellrad 4 beziehungsweise vom ersten Zahnrad 13 auf einen Bowdenzug 18, 19 zu übertragen. Zum anderen ist auf dem Zahnrad 5 eine Markierung 5e vorgesehen, welche im Zusammenspiel mit einem Fenster 2b der Gehäuseoberschale ein Anzeigemittel zum Anzeigen der vom Bediener vorgenommenen Einstellung ermöglicht. Ferner dient das zweite Zahnrad 5 dem Antrieb eines Potentiometers 15, welches der Übertragung der gewählten Einstellung an eine Recheneinheit, zum Beispiel einen Trainingscomputer ermöglicht.On the housing upper shell 2, a dial 4 is rotatably mounted, with which the operator or user of the exercise bike can make the setting of the induction brake. This handwheel is rotatably coupled to a first gear 13. This first gear is mounted on the housing upper shell 2 and transmits a rotational movement of the adjusting wheel 4 to a second gear 5. This second gear 5 has several functions in the illustrated adjusting device. On the one hand, it has the function of transmitting the rotational movement from the manual adjusting wheel 4 or from the first gearwheel 13 to a Bowden cable 18, 19. On the other hand on the gear 5, a mark 5e is provided, which, in conjunction with a window 2b of the housing upper shell allows a display means for displaying the setting made by the operator. Furthermore, the second gear 5 is used to drive a potentiometer 15, which allows the transmission of the selected setting to a computing unit, for example a training computer.

Zur Abnahme der Bewegung des ersten Zahnrades 13 weist das zweite Zahnrad 5 auf einen sich in etwa über 135° erstreckenden Zahnkranz 5a hin. Dieser Zahnkranz 5a des zweiten Zahnrades 5 kämmt die Zähne des ersten Zahnrades 13. Das zweite Zahnrad 5, das im übrigen nach Art einer Haube ausgebildet ist, weist auf einen in das Innere dieser Haube hineinragenden Dom einen inneren Zahnkranz 5b auf. Dieser innere Zahnkranz 5b kämmt ein Zahnrad 14, welches auf einer Achse des Potentiometers 15 drehfest angebracht ist. Der innere Zahnkranz 5b dient somit der Übertragung der Drehbewegung des zweiten Zahnrades 5 auf das Potentiometer 15. Anschlüsse 15a des Potentiometers 15 können im übrigen über eine Ausnehmung in der Gehäuseunterschale von außen kontaktiert werden.To decrease the movement of the first gear 13, the second gear 5 points to a toothed rim 5a extending approximately over 135 °. This ring gear 5a of the second gear 5 meshes the teeth of the first gear 13. The second gear 5, which is otherwise formed in the manner of a hood, has an inner sprocket 5b on a protruding into the interior of this hood dome. This inner ring gear 5b meshes with a gear 14 which is mounted rotationally fixed on an axis of the potentiometer 15. The inner ring gear 5b thus serves to transmit the rotational movement of the second gear 5 to the potentiometer 15. Connections 15a of the potentiometer 15 can be contacted by means of a recess in the lower housing shell from the outside.

An dem inneren Zahnkranz 5b anschließend ist ein erstes Kupplungsteil 5c, d vorgesehen, mit welchem die Drehbewegung des zweiten Zahnrades 5 auf den Bowdenzug 18, 19 übertragen wird. Zwischen den Bowdenzug 18, 19 und insbesondere einem Innenzug 18 des Bowdenzugs 18, 19 ist dabei ein zweites Kupplungsteil 17c, d geschaltet, welches formschlüssig zur Übertragung der Drehbewegung mit dem ersten Kupplungsteil 50d zusammenwirkt. Das zweite Kupplungsteil 17c, d ist Teil eines Abtriebsteils 17, welches auf noch näher beschriebene Art und Weise mit einem ersten Ende 20 des Innenzugs 18 verbunden ist.Subsequently, a first coupling part 5c, d is provided on the inner toothed rim 5b, with which the rotational movement of the second toothed wheel 5 is transmitted to the Bowden cable 18, 19. Between the Bowden cable 18, 19 and in particular an inner cable 18 of the Bowden cable 18, 19 while a second coupling part 17c, d is connected, which cooperates form-fitting manner for transmitting the rotational movement with the first coupling part 50d. The second coupling part 17 c, d is part of a driven part 17, which is connected in a manner to be described in more detail with a first end 20 of the inner cable 18.

Das erste Kupplungsteil 5c, d weist eine ringförmige Fläche auf, aus der zwei gegenüberliegende Nasen 5d herausragen. Das zweite Kupplungsteil 17c, d ist komplementär ausgebildet. Es weist ebenfalls eine ringförmige Fläche 17c auf, in welcher dann aber Vertiefungen 17d vorgesehen sind, die einander gegenüberliegen und in welche die Nasen 5d formschlüssig eingreifen. Das zweite Kupplungsteil 17cm d durchgreift ein Befestigungsteil 16, mit welchem das Abtriebsteil 17 an der Gehäuseunterschale 3 gesichert wird. Das Befestigungsteil 16 weist dazu eine Bohrung 16b auf. Mit einer nicht dargestellten Schraube, die die Bohrung 16b durchgreift und in einen Schraubdome 3a der Gehäuseunterschale 3 eingeschraubt ist, erfolgt die Befestigung des Befestigungsteils 16. Das Befestigungsteil 16 weist ferner ein Halteelement 16a auf, an welchem ein Führungsschlauch 19 des Bowdenzugs 18, 19 mit einem ersten Ende festgelegt ist.The first coupling part 5c, d has an annular surface, from which protrude two opposite lugs 5d. The second coupling part 17c, d is complementary. It also has an annular surface 17c, in which, however, recesses 17d are provided, which are opposite each other and in which the lugs 5d engage in a form-fitting manner. The second coupling part 17 cm d engages through a fastening part 16, with which the driven part 17 is secured to the housing lower shell 3. The fastening part 16 has for this purpose a bore 16b. With a screw, not shown, which engages through the bore 16b and is screwed into a Schraubdome 3a of the housing lower shell 3, the attachment of the fastening part 16. The fastening part 16 further includes a holding element 16a on which a guide tube 19 of the Bowden cable 18, 19 with is set to a first end.

Das Abtriebsteil 17 weist auf seinem Umfang eine Nut, deren Grund 17b eine zylindrische Fläche bildet, auf welcher der Innenzug 18 des Bowdenzugs 18, 19 auf- beziehungsweise abgewickelt werden kann, je nach Stellung beziehungsweise Drehung des Einstellrades. Der Innenzug 18 ist mit seinem ersten Ende 20 an dem Abtriebsteil 17 befestigt. Wird das Abtriebsteil 17 in der Darstellung der Fig. 9 im Uhrzeigersinn gedreht, wickelt sich der Innenzug 18 des Bowdenzugs von dem Abtriebsteil ab. Wird das Abtriebsteil 17 dagegen gegen den Uhrzeigersinn bewegt, wird der Innenzug 18 auf dem Abtriebsteil ein Stück aufgewickelt und aus dem Führungsschlauch 19 herausgezogen. Dadurch bewegt sich auch das zweite Ende 21 des Innenzugs 18 und zieht das anzutreibende Teil, in diesem Fall einen Bügel der Induktionsbremse in die gewünschte Richtung.The output member 17 has on its circumference a groove, the base 17b forms a cylindrical surface on which the inner cable 18 of the Bowden cable 18, 19 up or can be unwound, depending on the position or rotation of the dial. The inner cable 18 is fastened with its first end 20 to the driven part 17. If the driven part 17 is rotated in the illustration of FIG. 9 in the clockwise direction, the inner cable 18 of the Bowden cable winds from the driven part. If, however, the driven part 17 is moved counterclockwise, the inner cable 18 is wound on the driven part a piece and pulled out of the guide tube 19. As a result, the second end 21 of the inner cable 18 also moves and pulls the part to be driven, in this case a bracket of the induction brake in the desired direction.

Die Übersetzung vom ersten Zahnrad 13 zum zweiten Zahnrad 5 ist so eingestellt, dass mit einer Umdrehung von maximal 360° die Induktionsbremse über den vollen einstellbaren Bereich verstellt werden kann.The ratio of the first gear 13 to the second gear 5 is set so that with a maximum rotation of 360 ° the Induction brake can be adjusted over the full adjustable range.
