Description

Technisches GebietTechnical area

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung von Kraftübungen gemäß dem Obersatz des Anspruchs 1.The present invention relates to a device for performing force exercises according to the preamble of claim 1.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

Aus US 8.025.608 B2 ist ein Trainingsgerät mit einer Vorrichtung zur Durchführung von Kraftübungen mit Hilfe einer kontinuierlichen Zugmittels bekannt, die eine Stützstruktur, ein kontinuierliches Seil sowie ein Mittel zum Anlegen eines Widerstands auf das Seil durch den Anwender aufweist. Zur Einstellung eines Widerstands am kontinuierlichen Zugmittel ist an der Vorrichtung eine Vielzahl von Umlenkrollen vorgesehen. Der Nachteil dieser Vorrichtung besteht darin, dass sie sich aufgrund ihrer technisch komplizierten Ausgestaltung sowie der Größe des Trainingsgeräts an sich nicht oder zumindest nur bedingt transportieren lässt und für den mobilen Einsatz nicht geeignet ist.Out US 8,025,608 B2 For example, there is known a exerciser having an apparatus for performing strength exercises by means of a continuous traction means having a support structure, a continuous rope, and means for applying resistance to the rope by the user. To set a resistance on the continuous traction means a plurality of deflection rollers is provided on the device. The disadvantage of this device is that it can not be transported per se or at least only conditionally due to its technically complicated design and the size of the training device and is not suitable for mobile use.

Aus US 2005/0148437 A1 ist weiterhin ein tragbares Trainingsgerät bekannt, welches eine an einem aufrechten Träger höhenverstellbare und daran fixierbare Vorrichtung zum simulierten Ziehen mit Hilfe eines kontinuierlichen Zugmittels aufweist. Auf das Zugmittel kann ein variabler Widerstand mittels einer Verstellschraube und einem durch Einschrauben der Verstellschraube auf die Führungen ausgeübten Drucks angelegt werden. Der Anwender sitzt hierbei auf einer an dem Träger des Trainingsgeräts höhen- und schwenkbar verstellbaren Fläche. Das Trainingsgerät ist insgesamt zusammenklappbar und repositionierbar, aber dennoch aufgrund seines Gewichts und seiner Größe nur schwerlich zu transportieren. Auch die Vorrichtung selbst ist aufgrund seiner technisch komplizierten Ausgestaltung und insbesondere aufgrund der Ausgestaltung des Mittels zur Erzeugung des Widerstands am kontinuierlichen Zugmittel ebenfalls nicht für den mobilen Einsatz geeignet.Out US 2005/0148437 A1 Furthermore, a portable training device is known, which has a height-adjustable on an upright support and fixable thereto device for simulated pulling by means of a continuous traction means. On the traction means, a variable resistance can be applied by means of an adjusting screw and a pressure exerted by screwing the adjusting screw on the guides pressure. The user sits here on a height and pivotally adjustable surface on the wearer of the training device. The training device is collapsible and repositionable overall, but still difficult to transport due to its weight and size. The device itself is also not suitable for mobile use due to its technically complicated design and in particular due to the design of the means for generating the resistance of the continuous traction means.

Die Offenlegungsschrift WO 2012/156516 A2 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung zur Durchführung von Kraftübungen mit Hilfe eines kontinuierlichen, flexiblen Zugmittels, auf das ein vom Anwender variabel einstellbarer Widerstand angelegt werden kann. Diese umfasst eine auf einer Achse mittels dem kontinuierlichen Zugmittel drehbar gelagerte Führung, wobei Mittel vorgesehen sind, mittels derer ein variabel einstellbarer Widerstand auf das kontinuierliche Zugmittel angelegt werden kann. An der Führung des kontinuierlichen Zugmittels ist ferner zumindest eine variabel einstellbare Wirbelstrombremse vorgesehen ist.The publication WO 2012/156516 A2 describes a device for performing force exercises by means of a continuous, flexible traction means on which a user-adjustable resistance can be applied. This comprises a guide rotatably mounted on an axis by means of the continuous traction means, wherein means are provided, by means of which a variably adjustable resistance can be applied to the continuous traction means. At least one variably adjustable eddy current brake is provided on the guide of the continuous traction means.

Die Übungsvorrichtung weist hierzu einen an einem Rahmen befestigten Handgriff auf, wobei ein Spulenelement schwenkbar mit dem Rahmen mittels einer Zugschnur verbunden ist, die zwischen einer gewickelten Konfiguration, in der die Zugschnur um die Spule gewickelt ist. An dem Spuleelement ist ein Widerstandselement schwenkbar vorgesehen, wobei ein Getriebe vorgesehen ist, dass Paare der Zugschnur mit dem Widerstandselement verbindet, so dass das Ziehen der Zugschnur aus der Vorrichtung bewirkt, dass das Widerstandselement sich dreht, und ein Dämpfungsmittel wirkt, dass die Drehung des Widerstandselements verlangsamt. Neben der umständlichen Handhabung dieser Übungsvorrichtung ist zudem die unzureichende Ausnutzung der Wirbelstromverluste von großem Nachteil. Darüber hinaus besitzt das Spulengerät dieser Übungsvorrichtung mindestens einen Zugrichtungswechsel, bei dem aus dem Zug ein Druck wird; ein kontinuierlicher Zugvorgang ist damit nicht möglich.The exercise device has for this purpose a handle attached to a frame, wherein a spool member is pivotally connected to the frame by means of a drawstring disposed between a wound configuration in which the drawstring is wound around the spool. A resistance element is pivotally mounted on the spool element, wherein a gear is provided connecting pairs of the drawstring to the resistance element so that pulling the drawstring out of the device causes the resistance element to rotate and a damping means is operative to cause the rotation of the sprocket Resistive element slows down. In addition to the cumbersome handling of this exercise device is also the insufficient utilization of the eddy current losses of great disadvantage. In addition, the coil device of this exercise device has at least one Zugrichtungswechsel in which the train is a pressure; a continuous pulling process is not possible.

Darstellung der ErfindungPresentation of the invention

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, welche die vorgenannten Nachteile ausräumt und derart ausgestaltet ist, dass sie - bspw. in einer Tasche oder in einem Rucksack oder in einem anderen geeigneten, mobilen Transport- und Aufbewahrungsmittel - oder auch auf sonstige Weise bequem transportiert werden kann. Eine weitere zu lösende Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht ferner darin, die Vorrichtung so zu gestalten, dass sie technisch einfach und kompakt gebaut ist.The present invention is based on the object to provide a device which eliminates the aforementioned disadvantages and is designed such that - eg. In a bag or in a backpack or in another suitable, mobile transport and storage - or can be transported comfortably in any other way. Another object to be achieved of the present invention is further to make the device so that it is technically simple and compact.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die voranstehende Aufgabe gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 in Verbindung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung sind in den abhängigen Unteransprüchen angegeben.According to the invention the above object is achieved according to the preamble of claim 1 in conjunction with the characterizing features. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the device according to the invention are specified in the dependent subclaims.

Die vorliegende Erfindung schließt die technische Lehre ein, dass die Wirbelstromverluste von mindestens einer in einem durch zumindest einen Magneten erzeugten Magnetfeld rotierenden Metallscheibe zur Bremsung bzw. zur Erzeugung des Widerstands genutzt werden, welche an der Führung vorgesehen oder durch die Führung selbst gebildet ist.The present invention includes the technical teaching that the eddy current losses of at least one metal disc rotating in a magnetic field generated by at least one magnet are used for braking or for generating the resistance provided on the guide or formed by the guide itself.

Erfindungsgemäß ist eine Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass dass neben der Führung im definierten Verhältnis zur Führung rotierende Metall-/Bremsscheiben vorgesehen sind, dessen Innenflächen an den äußeren Rändern beabstandet an einem Magnetzylinder vorbeirotieren, wobei das Magnetfeld des Magnetzylinders die beweglichen Scheiben senkrecht durchsetzt.According to the invention a device of the type mentioned is characterized in that in addition to the guide in the defined ratio to the guide rotating metal / brake discs are provided, the inner surfaces at the outer edges spaced vorbeirotieren past a magnetic cylinder, wherein the magnetic field of the magnetic cylinder, the movable discs vertically interspersed.

Der Vorteil der unmittelbaren Anordnung einer Wirbelstrombremse an der Führung des kontinuierlichen Zugmittels besteht darin, dass diese im Gegensatz zu den bisherigen, oben aufgezeigten Lösungen extrem kompakt gebaut und dennoch höchst effizient und variabel einstellbar ist und die Vorrichtung somit keine aufwendigen mechanischen Hilfsmittel zur unmittelbaren Widerstandserzeugung an dem Zugmittel wie in den eingangs beschriebenen Druckschriften benötigt. Ein weiterer Vorteil der Vorrichtung ist darin zu sehen, dass diese aufgrund der wenigen Bauteile im Vergleich zu den beschriebenen Vorrichtungen aus dem Stand der Technik extrem kosteneffizient hergestellt werden kann.The advantage of the direct arrangement of an eddy current brake on the leadership of the continuous traction means is that it is built extremely compact in contrast to the previous solutions shown above and yet highly efficient and variable adjustable and the device thus requires no expensive mechanical aids for immediate resistance generation on the traction means as in the publications described above. Another advantage of the device is the fact that it can be manufactured extremely cost-effectively due to the few components compared to the described devices of the prior art.

Ein weiterer besonderer Vorteil der Verwendung einer Wirbelstrombremse besteht darin, dass diese absolut verschleißfrei ist.Another particular advantage of using an eddy current brake is that it is absolutely wear-free.

In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die Vorrichtung derart ausgestaltet, dass diese bequem an einer Vielzahl von Aufhängungspunkten, beispielsweise an einem Ast, Türrahmen oder weiteren geeigneten fixen Strukturen angeordnet werden kann. Hierzu ist an der Vorrichtung eine Halterung vorgesehen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the device is designed such that it can be conveniently arranged at a plurality of suspension points, for example on a branch, door frame or other suitable fixed structures. For this purpose, a holder is provided on the device.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann neben den beschriebenen Anwendungsbeispielen auch als ein Teil eines größeren Trainingsgeräts fungieren, wo sie als zentrales Arbeitsteil dient, wo bspw. das kontinuierliche Zugmittel entlang von Umlenkrollen oder anderen Mitteln zur Führen des Zugmittels geführt ist.The device according to the invention can also act as part of a larger training device, where it serves as a central working part, where, for example, the continuous traction means along deflection rollers or other means for guiding the traction means is performed in addition to the described application examples.

Ausführung der ErfindungEmbodiment of the invention

Wie aus Fig.1 ersichtlich, ist die Vorrichtung sehr kompakt gebaut und besteht im Wesentlichen lediglich aus einer Führung 2, in der ein kontinuierliches Zugmittel (Seil) 1 vorgesehen ist, wobei das Zugmittel 1 entgegen den durch den vom Wirbelstrom verursachten Widerstand aus der Vorrichtung bzw. der Führung 2 herausgezogen werden kann.How out Fig.1 can be seen, the device is very compact and consists essentially only of a guide 2, in which a continuous traction means (rope) 1 is provided, wherein the traction means 1 against the resistance caused by the eddy current from the device or the guide. 2 can be pulled out.

Die Vorrichtung, die schematisch in den Fign. 2a und 2b gezeigt wird, besteht im Wesentlichen aus einer Führung 2, in der das Zugmittel 1 geführt ist. Diese Führung 2 wird durch das Zugmittel 1 angetrieben, während die Übung ausgeführt wird. Die Drehung der Führung bewirkt eine Rotation des an der Führung 2 angeordneten Zahnrads 3, welches vorzugsweise mittels Bolzen an der Führung 2 befestigt ist. Das Zahnrad 4 wird durch das Zahnrad 3 angetrieben. Das Zahnrad 4 ist gegenüber dem Zahnrad 5 auf der Achse 5 fixiert. Das Zahnrad 6 treibt das Zahnrad 7 an. Das Zahnrad 7 treibt das Zahnrad 8 an, welches auf der Achse 9 fixiert ist. Die durch die Lager 10 und 11 gelagerte Achse 9 bildet die Achse der Führung 2. Die Zahnräder 3,4,6,7 und 8 fungieren als Getriebe, aufgrund deren Ausgestaltung und Konfiguration in dem vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel in der entgegengesetzten Richtung der Führung 2 ein Verhältnis von 12:1 (Rotation der Führung 2 zu Rotation der Achse 9) gegeben ist.The device schematically in the FIGS. 2a and 2b is shown, consists essentially of a guide 2, in which the traction means 1 is guided. This guide 2 is driven by the traction means 1 while the exercise is being carried out. The rotation of the guide causes a rotation of the arranged on the guide 2 gear 3, which is preferably fixed by means of bolts on the guide 2. The gear 4 is driven by the gear 3. The gear 4 is fixed relative to the gear 5 on the axis 5. The gear 6 drives the gear 7. The gear 7 drives the gear 8, which is fixed on the axis 9. The bearing through the bearings 10 and 11 axis 9 forms the axis of the guide 2. The gears 3,4,6,7 and 8 act as a gear, due to their configuration and configuration in the present embodiment in the opposite direction of the guide 2 a ratio from 12: 1 (rotation of the guide 2 to rotation of the axis 9) is given.

Wie aus Fig.3 ersichtlich, weist die Vorrichtung eine Halterung 12, (Montageklammer) zur Fixierung der Vorrichtung an geeigneten Aufhängungspunkten auf.How out Figure 3 can be seen, the device has a holder 12, (mounting bracket) for fixing the device at suitable suspension points.

Beidseitig der Führung 2 sind eine Trägerplatte 13 sowie eine Stützplatte 14 positioniert. Mittels dem Lager 15 und dem gegenüberliegenden Lager (nicht dargestellt) kann die Achse 9 frei drehen.On both sides of the guide 2, a support plate 13 and a support plate 14 are positioned. By means of the bearing 15 and the opposite bearing (not shown), the axle 9 can rotate freely.

Frontseitig ist ein Führungsmittel (Druckmittel) 17 vorgesehen, welches direkt auf dem Zugmittel 1 aufliegt, um ein Rutschen zwischen dem Zugmittel 1 und der Führung 2 zu verhindern. Das Führungsmittel 17 ist frei drehbar gelagert auf der Achse 5 mittels Lager 18 und gegenüberliegendem Lager (nicht dargestellt), welche sich jeweils auf einer Seite des Führungsmittels 17 befinden. Das Führungsmittel 17 kann in einer Weise angetrieben werden, dass es mit nahezu exakt der Geschwindigkeit des Zugmittels 1 rotiert und wodurch ein Rutschen des Zugmittels 1 durch Zugabe von mehr Traktionsfläche am Zugmittel 1 und weniger Druck verhindert wird. Der Vorteil besteht in einem geringeren Verschleiß des Zugmittels 1.Front side, a guide means (pressure means) 17 is provided, which rests directly on the traction means 1 in order to prevent slippage between the traction means 1 and the guide 2. The guide means 17 is freely rotatably mounted on the axis 5 by means of bearings 18 and opposite bearing (not shown), which are each located on one side of the guide means 17. The guide means 17 can be driven in a manner that it rotates at almost exactly the speed of the traction means 1 and thereby slipping the traction means 1 by adding more traction surface on the traction means 1 and less pressure is prevented. The advantage consists in a lower wear of the traction device. 1

Ebenfalls aus Fig.3 ersichtlich ist der Regler (Einstellungsrad) 20 und der Magnetzylinder 21.Also off Figure 3 the regulator (setting wheel) 20 and the magnetic cylinder 21 can be seen.

Fig.4 zeigt unter anderem die beiden rotierenden Metall-/Bremsscheiben 22 und 23, die auf der Achse 9 durch die Mutter 24 und eine gegenüberliegende Mutter fixiert sind. Die eingangs beschriebene Konfiguration der Zahnräder 3,4,6,7 und 8 lässt die Scheiben 22 und 23 mit der Achse 9 in einem Verhältnis zur Führung von 12:1 drehen. Wenn die Vorrichtung in Gebrauch ist, rotieren die Innenflächen an den äußeren Rändern der Metall-/Bremsscheiben 22 und 23 mit sehr geringem Abstand an dem Magnetzylinder 21 vorbei. In dieser Ausführungsform der Vorrichtung wird die größte Bremswirkung dadurch erzielt, dass das Magnetfeld des Magnetzylinders 21 die beweglichen Scheiben 22 und 23 senkrecht durchsetzt. Figure 4 shows, inter alia, the two rotating metal / brake discs 22 and 23, which are fixed on the axis 9 by the nut 24 and an opposite nut. The initially described configuration of the gears 3,4,6,7 and 8 causes the disks 22 and 23 to rotate with the axle 9 in a 12: 1 ratio to the guide. When the device is in use, the inner surfaces rotate at the outer edges of the metal / brake discs 22 and 23 with a very small distance past the magnetic cylinder 21. In this embodiment of the device, the greatest braking effect is achieved in that the magnetic field of the magnetic cylinder 21 passes through the movable disks 22 and 23 vertically.

Die Fign. 5a,b,c,d zeigen eine besondere Ausführungsform des Magnetzylinders 21 sowie des Reglers 20 (insb. Fig.5c). Der Magnetzylinder 21 umfasst in dieser besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung der Erfindung zwei federgelagerte, zylindrische Magneten 27,28 (Fign.5b,5d). Die beiden Magneten 27,28 werden mittels der Feder 26 auseinandergedrückt. Auf den Magneten 27,28 ist jeweils ein Stift 29,30 (Fig.5d) vorgesehen, wobei die Stifte 29,30 in Führungsschlitze am Regler 20 ragen. Durch Drehen des Reglers 20 werden die Magneten 27,28 aufeinanderzubewegt oder voneinanderwegbewegt.The FIGS. 5a, b, c, d show a particular embodiment of the magnetic cylinder 21 and the regulator 20 (esp. 5c ). The magnetic cylinder 21 comprises in this particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, two spring-loaded, cylindrical magnets 27,28 ( Fign.5b, 5d ). The two magnets 27, 28 are pressed apart by means of the spring 26. On the magnets 27,28 is in each case a pin 29,30 ( 5d ), wherein the pins 29,30 project into guide slots on the controller 20. By turning the regulator 20, the magnets 27,28 are moved towards each other or moved away from each other.

Fig.6 zeigt nochmals schematisch, wie die beiden Magneten 27,28 in der Grundstellung des Reglers 20 an den Metall-/Bremsscheiben 22,23 anliegen. Dabei erfolgt eine Regulation des Wirbelstroms mittels des Reglers 20, der durch die Wechselwirkung von den Magneten 27,28 und den rotierenden Metall-/Bremsscheiben 22,23 verursacht wird. Figure 6 shows again schematically how the two magnets 27,28 rest in the normal position of the controller 20 to the metal / brake discs 22,23. In this case, a regulation of the eddy current by means of the regulator 20, which is caused by the interaction of the magnets 27,28 and the rotating metal / brake discs 22,23.

Die Fign.7a,7b zeigen die beiden Enden des Zugmittels 1, welche (mittels Druck, Wärme und Reibung) derart ausgeformt sind, dass diese in einen zylinderförmigen Verbinderring 31 form- und kraftschlüssig eingepasst sind. Der Verbinderring 31 ist aus einem starken und festen Material gefertigt und hat bevorzugt einen kleineren Durchmesser als die des Zugmittels 1. Die eigentliche Verbindung wird mit einem Klebstoff hergestellt.The Fign.7a, 7b show the two ends of the traction means 1, which (by means of pressure, heat and friction) are formed such that they are positively and non-positively fitted into a cylindrical connector ring 31. The connector ring 31 is made of a strong and strong material and preferably has a smaller diameter than that of the traction means 1. The actual connection is made with an adhesive.
