Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Fahrradergometer zum Training und/oder zur Diagnose von Probanden nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a bicycle ergometer for training and / or for the diagnosis of subjects according to the preamble of claim 1.

Fahrradergometer werden in der Diagnostik und in der Therapie vielfältig eingesetzt. Insbesondere zum Herz-Kreislauf-Training sind gattungsgemäße Fahrradergometer sehr gut geeignet. Grundlage der Funktion von Fahrradergometern ist es, dass der Proband auf einer Sitzeinrichtung absitzt und zugleich seine Füße auf die Pedale einer Pedalanordnung aufstellt. In dieser sitzenden Haltung kann der Proband dann die Pedalanordnung mit entsprechenden Beinbewegungen in Bewegung setzen und auf diese Weise eine bestimmte Körperleistung erbringen. Je nach Bauart des Fahrradergometers kann diese vom Probanden erbrachte Körperleistung dann im Sinne eines Trainingsplanes reguliert oder im Sinne einer bestimmten Diagnostik gemessen werden.Bicycle ergometers are widely used in diagnostics and therapy. Especially for cardiovascular training generic stationary bikes are very well suited. The basis of the function of bicycle ergometers is that the test person sits down on a seat device and places his feet on the pedals of a pedal assembly at the same time. In this sitting posture, the subject can then set the pedal assembly with appropriate leg movements in motion and provide in this way a certain body performance. Depending on the design of the bicycle ergometer, this body performance provided by the test person can then be regulated in the sense of a training plan or measured in the sense of a specific diagnostics.

Für die Funktion des Fahrradergometers von größter Bedeutung ist die richtige Sitzposition des Probanden, da nur in einer bequemen und leistungsgerechten Sitzposition die gewünschte Körperleistung ohne Weiteres erbracht werden kann. Bei den bekannten Fahrradergometern ist es üblich, einen Fahrradsattel mittels einer Sattelstütze am Rahmen des Fahrradergometers zu befestigen. Auf der so gebildeten Sitzeinrichtung kann der Proband dann die gewünschte Sitzposition einnehmen. Nachfolgend soll der Begriff Sattel im Sinne von Fahrradsattel Verwendung finden.For the function of the bicycle ergometer of the utmost importance is the correct sitting position of the subject, because only in a comfortable and performance-oriented seating position, the desired body performance can be readily provided. In the known bicycle ergometers is It is common to attach a bicycle saddle by means of a seat post on the frame of the bicycle ergometer. On the seating device thus formed, the subject can then take the desired seating position. In the following, the term saddle is to be used in the sense of bicycle saddle.

Bei der Verwendung von Fahrradergometern in Fitnessstudios oder Rehabilitationseinrichtungen oder Krankenhäusern ist es vielfach notwendig, dass die Sitzposition individuell auf verschiedene Probanden eingestellt werden kann, um so einer Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen Probanden eine leistungsgerechte und bequeme Sitzposition zu ermöglichen. Bekannte Fahrradergometer sind dazu mit Verstelleinrichtungen zur Verstellung der Sitzhöhe und der Sitztiefe ausgestattet. Nachteilig an den bekannten Fahrradergometern ist es jedoch, dass die Sitzgeometrie der verwendeten Sättel nicht auf die verschiedenen Probanden individuell angepasst werden kann. Männer und Frauen bzw. Menschen unterschiedlichen Gewichtes haben jedoch völlig unterschiedliche Anforderungen hinsichtlich der Sitzgeometrie eines Sattels, um eine bequeme und leistungsgerechte Sitzposition zu finden.When using bicycle ergometers in gyms or rehabilitation facilities or hospitals, it is often necessary that the sitting position can be adjusted individually to different subjects in order to allow a variety of different subjects a comfortable and comfortable seating position. Well-known bicycle ergometers are equipped with adjusting devices for adjusting the seat height and the seat depth. A disadvantage of the known bicycle ergometers, however, is that the seat geometry of the saddles used can not be adapted to the different subjects individually. Men and women or people of different weights, however, have completely different requirements in terms of seat geometry of a saddle to find a comfortable and performance-oriented seating position.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik ist es deshalb Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein neues Fahrradergometer vorzuschlagen, mit dem die Geometrie des verwendeten Sattels variabel auf verschiedene Probanden angepasst werden kann.Based on this prior art, it is therefore an object of the present invention to propose a new bicycle ergometer, with which the geometry of the saddle used can be variably adapted to different subjects.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.Advantageous embodiments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.

Das erfindungsgemäße Fahrradergometer beruht auf der Grundüberlegung, dass die Sitzeinrichtung zumindest zwei Sättel und eine Sattelverstelleinrichtung umfasst. Die Sattelverstelleinrichtung ermöglicht es dabei, dass immer genau ein Sattel in der jeweiligen Sitzposition des Fahrradergometers positioniert und fixiert wird. Alle anderen Sättel nehmen eine Ruheposition ein, die einer Nichtgebrauchsstellung entspricht. Durch Betätigung der Sattelverstelleinrichtung ist es dabei außerdem möglich, jeden Sattel wahlweise aus der Ruheposition in die Sitzposition zu verstellen. Mit anderen Worten bedeutet dies, dass zur Anpassung des Fahrradergometers auf die notwendige Sitzgeometrie unterschiedlicher Probanden zwischen den verschiedenen am Fahrradergometer vorgesehenen Sätteln gewählt werden kann. Sind an dem Fahrradergometer beispielsweise fünf verschiedene Sättel vorgesehen, so kann der Betreuer des Probanden einen dieser Sättel für den jeweiligen Probanden auswählen und ihn durch Betätigung der Sattelverstelleinrichtung in die Sitzposition bringen. Da eine Verstellung des Sattels selbst zur Anpassung der Sitzgeometrie nicht notwendig ist, ist eine hohe Zuverlässigkeit gegeben, da die einzelnen Sättel im Wesentlichen keine beweglichen Teile benötigen. Außerdem kann die erfindungsgemäße Anpassbarkeit der Sattelgeometrie durch Verstellung zwischen mehreren Sätteln sehr preisgünstig realisiert werden.The bicycle ergometer according to the invention is based on the basic idea that the seat device comprises at least two saddles and a saddle adjustment device. The saddle adjustment makes it possible that always exactly one saddle is positioned and fixed in the respective seat position of the bicycle ergometer. All other saddles take a rest position, which corresponds to a non-use position. By operating the saddle adjustment device, it is also possible to adjust each saddle selectively from the rest position to the sitting position. In other words, this means that can be selected to adapt the bicycle ergometer to the necessary seat geometry of different subjects between the various provided on the bicycle ergometer saddles. If, for example, five different saddles are provided on the bicycle ergometer, the supervisor of the subject can select one of these saddles for the respective subject and bring it into the sitting position by actuating the saddle adjustment device. Since an adjustment of the saddle itself to adapt the seat geometry is not necessary, a high reliability is given because the individual saddles essentially require no moving parts. In addition, the adaptability of the saddle geometry according to the invention can be realized very inexpensively by adjusting between multiple saddles.

In welcher Weise die Sattelverstelleinrichtung konstruktiv ausgebildet ist, ist grundsätzlich beliebig. Gemäß einer ersten bevorzugten Ausführungsform dient als Sattelverstelleinrichtung eine Kegelrevolvereinrichtung. Bei dieser Kegelrevolvereinrichtung sind die Sättel jeweils mittels einer Sattelstütze getragen. Die einzelnen Sattelstützen können dabei auf einer kegelförmigen Bewegungsbahn um eine Mittelachse rotieren. Der Kegelmantel dieser kegelförmigen Bewegungsbahn zeichnet sich dabei dadurch aus, dass sie im höchsten Punkt die jeweilige Sitzposition des Fahrradergometers schneidet. Durch Rotation der Sattelstützen um die Mittelachse können auf diese Weise die einzelnen Sättel jeweils nacheinander in die höchste Position und damit in die Sitzposition des Fahrradergometers gebracht werden. In der entsprechenden Position kann die Kegelrevolvereinrichtung dann mit geeigneten Fixiermitteln festgestellt werden.The way in which the saddle adjustment device is designed constructively is basically arbitrary. According to a first preferred embodiment serves as a saddle adjustment a Kegelrevolvereinrichtung. In this Kegelrevolvereinrichtung the saddles are each supported by a seat post. The individual seatposts can rotate on a conical trajectory about a central axis. The conical surface of this conical path of motion is characterized in that it cuts the respective seat position of the bicycle ergometer at the highest point. By rotation of the seat posts about the central axis in this way the individual saddles can be successively brought into the highest position and thus in the seat position of the bicycle ergometer. In the corresponding position, the tapered revolving device can then be detected with suitable fixing means.

Alternativ zu einer Kegelrevolvereinrichtung kann auch eine Scheibenrevolvereinrichtung als Sattelverstelleinrichtung zum Einsatz kommen. Bei einer solchen Scheibenrevolvereinrichtung sind die Sättel am Umfang einer Scheibe befestigt, wobei die Scheibe zur Verstellung der Sättel um eine Mittelachse rotierend verstellt werden kann. Bei der Scheibe selbst kann es sich dabei entweder um eine Vollscheibe oder um eine Speichenscheibe mit einer den Umfang bildenden Felge handeln.As an alternative to a tapered revolving device, a disc revolving device can also be used as a saddle adjustment device. at Such a disc revolving device, the saddles are attached to the periphery of a disc, the disc for adjusting the saddles can be adjusted to rotate about a central axis. The disk itself can either be a solid disk or a spoke disk with a rim forming the circumference.

In welche Richtung die Scheibe der Scheibenrevolvereinrichtung rotiert, ist im Prinzip ohne Belang. Gemäß einer ersten Alternative rotiert die Scheibe der Scheibenrevolvereinrichtung in einer Vertikalebene. Dies erlaubt eine besonders kompakte Bauweise der Scheibenrevolvereinrichtung und insbesondere eine außerordentlich kompakte Anbringung an dem Fahrradergometer.In which direction the disc of the disc revolving device rotates is basically irrelevant. According to a first alternative, the disc of the disc revolving device rotates in a vertical plane. This allows a particularly compact design of the Scheibenrevolvereinrichtung and in particular an extremely compact attachment to the bicycle ergometer.

Alternativ dazu kann die Scheibe der Scheibenrevolvereinrichtung aber auch um eine Horizontalebene rotieren.Alternatively, however, the disc of the disc revolving device can also rotate about a horizontal plane.

Um die notwendige Verstellbewegung der Sattelverstelleinrichtung zu realisieren, kann alternativ zu einer Revolvereinrichtung auch eine Linearverstelleinrichtung vorgesehen sein. Gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform einer solchen Linearverstelleinrichtung sind die Sättel dabei hintereinander auf einem Träger befestigt, wobei der Träger parallel zur Längsachse des Fahrradergometers linear verstellbar ist.In order to realize the necessary adjustment movement of the saddle adjustment device, a linear adjustment device can be provided as an alternative to a turret assembly. According to a first embodiment of such a linear adjusting device, the saddles are mounted one behind the other on a support, wherein the carrier is linearly adjustable parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle ergometer.

Alternativ dazu können die Sättel auf dem Träger der Linearverstelleinrichtung auch nebeneinander befestigt sein. In diesem Falle wird der Träger dann quer zur Längsachse des Fahrradergometers linear verstellt, um zwischen den einzelnen Sätteln zu wechseln.Alternatively, the saddles on the support of the linear adjustment can also be attached side by side. In this case, the carrier is then adjusted linearly transversely to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle ergometer to switch between the individual saddles.

Um die Sitzposition des jeweiligen Probanden optimal auf die individuellen Erfordernisse anpassen zu können, ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn zwischen der Pedalanordnung und der Sitzeinrichtung des Fahrradergometers eine Höhenverstelleinrichtung vorgesehen ist. Durch Verstellung der Höhenverstelleinrichtung hat der Benutzer dann die Möglichkeit, den vertikalen Abstand zwischen der Pedalanordnung und der Sitzeinrichtung zu verändern.In order to be able to optimally adapt the sitting position of the respective subject to the individual requirements, it is particularly advantageous if a height adjustment device is provided between the pedal arrangement and the seat device of the bicycle ergometer. By adjusting the height adjustment the user then has the option to change the vertical distance between the pedal assembly and the seat assembly.

Alternativ bzw. additiv zur Verwendung einer Höhenverstelleinrichtung kann an dem Fahrradergometer auch eine Tiefenverstelleinrichtung vorgesehen sein. Durch Verstellung der Tiefenverstelleinrichtung kann der horizontale Abstand entlang der Längsachse des Fahrradergometers zwischen der Pedalanordnung und der Sitzeinrichtung eingestellt werden. Selbstverständlich ist es auch denkbar, kombinierte Verstelleinrichtungen zu verwenden, bei denen die Höhe und Tiefe zwischen Pedalanordnung und Sitzeinrichtung gemeinsam verstellt werden können.Alternatively or in addition to the use of a height adjustment device, a depth adjustment device can also be provided on the bicycle ergometer. By adjusting the depth adjustment device, the horizontal distance along the longitudinal axis of the bicycle ergometer between the pedal assembly and the seat assembly can be adjusted. Of course, it is also conceivable to use combined adjusting devices in which the height and depth between the pedal assembly and seat device can be adjusted together.

Welche Bauweise das Fahrradergometer selbst aufweist, ist ebenfalls grundsätzlich beliebig. Besonders geeignet ist die erfindungsgemäße Sattelverstelleinrichtung für Fahrradergometer, bei denen der Proband seine Kräfte auf eine Widerstandseinrichtung mit elektronisch regelbarem Elektromotor überträgt. Solche elektronisch regelbaren Fahrradergometer werden insbesondere in der hoch spezialisierten Therapie und Diagnostik verwendet, bei denen eine möglichst individuelle Anpassung der Sitzposition unbedingt erforderlich ist.Which type of construction the bicycle ergometer itself has is basically also arbitrary. Particularly suitable is the saddle adjustment device according to the invention for bicycle ergometers, in which the test person transmits his forces to a resistance device with electronically controllable electric motor. Such electronically adjustable bicycle ergometers are used in particular in the highly specialized therapy and diagnostics, in which an individual adjustment of the seating position is absolutely necessary.

Verschiedene Aspekte der Erfindung sind in den Zeichnungen schematisch dargestellt und werden nachfolgend beispielhaft erläutert.Various aspects of the invention are illustrated schematically in the drawings and are explained below by way of example.

Der Träger 11 seinerseits kann parallel zur Längsachse des Fahrradergometers 01 linear verschoben und in der jeweils gewünschten Sitzposition fixiert werden. Durch Verstellung der Sattelverstelleinrichtung 10 hat der Proband also die Möglichkeit, wahlweise den Sattel 07, den Sattel 08 oder den Sattel 09 in die jeweilige Sitzposition zu bringen und zu benutzen. Bei Benutzung des Fahrradergometers durch einen anderen Probanden hat dieser dann wiederum die Möglichkeit, die Sattelverstelleinrichtung 10 zu verstellen und dadurch einen anderen Sattel mit anderer Sitzgeometrie auszuwählen.In order to allow the subject a comfortable seating position on the bicycle ergometer 01, the bicycle ergometer 01 is equipped with a handlebar 05 and a seat device 06. The seat device 06 comprises three saddles 07, 08 and 09, each with a different seat geometry and a saddle adjustment device 10.

The carrier 11 in turn can be moved linearly parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bicycle ergometer 01 and fixed in the respective desired seating position. By adjusting the saddle adjustment device 10, the test person thus has the option of selectively bringing and using the saddle 07, the saddle 08 or the saddle 09 in the respective sitting position. When using the bicycle ergometer by another subject this then again has the ability to adjust the Sattelverstelleinrichtung 10 and thereby select another saddle with different seat geometry.

Zur kombinierten Anpassung der Höhe und der Tiefe der Sättel 07, 08 und 09 relativ zum Lenker 05 bzw. zur Pedalanordnung 03 ist eine höhenverstellbare Sattelstütze 12 vorgesehen, die zur Höhen- bzw. Tiefenanpassung austeleskopiert werden kann. Aufgrund der Schrägstellung der Sattelstütze 12 kann durch Austeleskopieren der Sattelstütze zugleich sowohl die Höhe als auch die Tiefe der Sättel 07, 08 und 09 gemäß der jeweiligen Sitzposition verändert werden.For the combined adjustment of the height and the depth of the calipers 07, 08 and 09 relative to the handlebar 05 and the pedal assembly 03 is a height-adjustable seat post 12 is provided, which can be telescoped for height or depth adjustment.
