The following refers to FIGs. 1 through 4, which respectively show horizontal disposal, longitudinal disposal, a schematic view of a part, and a system block diagram of an embodiment of a two-in-one training device of the present disclosure.
The two-in-one training device includes a support structure 100, a resistance output module 200, a cable rolling device 300, a cable 800, a front pulley 930, a rear pulley 400, and a handle assembly 500.
The support structure 100 includes a front support member 101, a connection frame 103, and a rear support member 104. An end of the connection frame 103 is coupled with the front support member 101. Preferably, the support structure 100 may further include a support bottom plate 102 to support the two-in-one training device of the present disclosure more stably. The rear support member 104 is coupled with the other end of the connection frame 103.
The resistance output module 200 may be disposed at an end of the support structure 100. The resistance output module 200 may include a resistance device 201 and a controlling device 203, and may further include a torque enhancing device 202 and an encoder 204 upon demand. Under a condition that the torque provided by the resistance device 201 is not sufficient, the torque enhancing device 202 may be connected to the resistance device 201 which is configured to output a revolving speed lower than that of the resistance device 201 and a torque higher than that of the resistance device 201. The resistance device 201 in cooperation with the torque enhancing device 202 can output more torque, so that the resistance output module 200 of the present disclosure is able to output sufficient resistance for training.
The controlling device 203 is electrically connected with the resistance device 201. Under a condition that the controlling device 203 includes the encoder 204 configured to detect an operational state of the resistance device 201 to output a detection signal 2041, the controlling device 203 may receive the detection signal 2041 from the encoder 204 and setting data 7001, and generate and transmit a control signal 2031 according to the detection signal 2041 and the setting data 7001. The operational state of the resistance device 201 may include a rotational position, a rotational velocity, a rotational angular velocity, a rotational acceleration, and so on. The encoder 204 may transmit the detection signal 2041 to the controlling device 203 to control the resistance device 201, thereby forming a feedback control scheme.
The cable rolling device 300 is connected with the resistance output module 200, and rotated in the same direction as the resistance device 201.
An end of the cable 800 is wound on the cable rolling device 300.
The front pulley 930 may be disposed at an end of the support structure 100, and the rear pulley 400 may be disposed at the other end of the support structure 100, and the rear pulley 400 is rotatably or detachably disposed on the rear support member 104.
The handle assembly 500 may be connected with the other end of the cable 800 for the user to hold for completing a training action.
The user can use the operating module 700 to input the setting data 7001 for setting the resistance output module 200, so that the resistance output module 200 is able to change different resistance according to the setting data 7001. The operating module 700 of the present disclosure is electrically connected to the resistance output module 200 and is configured to input setting data 7001 to the controlling device 203, thereby controlling the resistance device 201 to achieve the effect of changing the output resistance of the resistance output module 200.
As shown in FIG. 1, the present disclosure further includes a sliding rail structure 900, a movable user support 910, a foot plate 920, and a display device 600.
The sliding rail structure 900 is disposed on the support structure 100, and the movable user support 910 is slidably connected on the sliding rail structure 900. The foot plate 920 may be disposed on the support structure 100, and between the resistance output module 200 and the sliding rail structure 900. The front pulley 930 is disposed on the support structure 100, and the cable 800 runs through the pulley 930.
The display device 600 is configured to display the setting data 7001 for the resistance output module 200. Preferably, the operating module 700 may be integrated with the display device 600 to form a touch control display device, so that the user may directly touch the display device 600 to use the operating module 700 to input the setting data 7001 for the resistance output module 200.
The following refers to FIGs. 4 through 8, which respectively show schematic views of the first usage status, the second usage status, the third usage status and the fourth usage status of the embodiment of the two-in-one training device of the present disclosure.
As shown in FIGs. 4 through 8, the training actions include a pulling action and a recovery action which both are horizontal motions. During the pulling action, the resistance output module 200 provides a predetermined reverse resistance against the pulling action, and the resistance device 201 is counter-rotated correspondingly to the pulling action. When the user applies a force, which is smaller than the reverse resistance, on the handle assembly 500, the resistance device 201 is changed to an original rotational direction thereof, so that the predetermined reverse resistance of the resistance output module 200 serves as a restoring force to drive the cable rolling device 300 to receive the cable 800. After the encoder 204 detects the change of the rotational direction of the resistance device 201, the encoder 204 transmits the detection signal 2041 to the controlling device 203, and the controlling device 203 then transmits the control signal 2031 to control the resistance device 201 according to the detection signal 2041. Alternatively, upon practical demand, the user may increase or decrease the restoring force of the recovery action through the operating module 700.
Furthermore, when the support structure 100 is disposed horizontally relative to a ground surface, the front support member 101 and the rear support member 104 supports the connection frame to suspend horizontally above the ground surface, so that the two-in-one training device of the present disclosure may be used as a rowing exercise machine, and the training action is performed in the horizontal direction, and the cable 800 runs through the front pulley 930.
When the support structure 100 is disposed longitudinally relative to the ground surface, the front support member 101 is placed on the ground surface to support the connection frame 103 to stand longitudinally on the ground surface, the cable 800 runs through the rear pulley 400 and the front pulley 930, so that the user may operate the two-in-one training device of the present disclosure to perform the training action in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, upon demand, the two-in-one training device of the present disclosure may be respectively disposed horizontally or longitudinally to provide the user to perform the training action in the horizontal direction or longitudinal direction, so that the user may train upper back muscles, shoulder and arm muscles completely.
As shown in FIG. 7, the two-in-one training device of the present disclosure may further include a foldable chair 1000 disposed on the support bottom plate 102, so that the user may perform a lat pulldown action in a sitting posture.
Preferably, the front support member 101 and the rear support member 104 may be T-shaped support members, as shown in FIGs. 5 and 6. Preferably, the front support member 101 and the rear support member 104 can be respectively rotated and fixed to a first angle or a second angle which may be different from each other by 180 degrees, so that the two-in-one training device of the present disclosure may be more stably disposed horizontally or longitudinally.
Alternatively, at least one of the front support member 101 and the rear support member 104 may be respectively rotated and fixed to any angle, so that the user can pull down the handle assembly 500 in any direction for training.
In order to ensure stable disposal of the two-in-one training device in horizontal mode or longitudinal mode, the two-in-one training device may further include a support bottom plate 102 connected to the front support member 101, as shown in FIGs. 5 through 7, the support bottom plate 102 may be disposed under the front support member 101 when the support structure 100 is disposed horizontally or longitudinally relative to the ground surface.
Furthermore, the display device 600 may change a display mode thereof according to the horizontal or longitudinal disposal of the support structure 100, to clearly show information to the user no matter what type of disposal of the two-in-one training device of the present disclosure. Therefore, the user can operate the two-in-one training device of the present disclosure to completely train upper back muscles, shoulder and arm muscle.
The present disclosure disclosed herein has been described by means of specific embodiments. However, numerous modifications, variations and enhancements can be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention set forth in the claims.
