Exercise bike with synchronized movements with routes projected on virtual reality glasses.

SECTOR OF THE TECHNIQUE

The technical field to which this utility model refers involves the production and use of exercise equipment. In particular, there is a bicycle for exercise used both at home and in exercise centers, gyms, health clubs, gym and training rooms in schools and universities and other spaces dedicated to taking care of physical condition. It can be used by people of all ages who wish to improve their physical condition.

This utility model is also presented in a way that connects the user with a virtual world through virtual reality glasses, giving reality to the physical activity of doing an exercise bike.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Generally, the use of exercise equipment, including exercise bikes, has become increasingly popular in modern society. Because physical preparation has taken great importance in people's daily lives. A number of different types of exercise and weight loss devices have been marketed, such as electronic treadmills and exercise bikes. Several types of these exercise bikes have been designed, including bicycles that completely eliminate the rear wheel.

Obesity is currently increasing to a tremendous level, innovations in the field of exercise equipment, particularly exercise bicycles, are quite desirable. With the daily use of televisions, computers and mobiles people are increasingly sedentary and it is more necessary to motivate them to exercise.

Although many exercise bikes have been designed to count the kilometers made, save profiles, control the pulse, speed. Others even include screens with videos simulating paths to motivate the user. But so far none has been specially designed to follow the

movements of twist, rise and fall of slopes simulating the movements that a real bicycle tour gives you. An objective of this invention is to provide an exercise bike designed to motivate the use of it, giving reality to the sports experience.

One of the main advantages of the exercise bike described here is that anyone can ride on it in the comfort of their home, or under the facilities of a gym thus exercising while being motivated by the choice of different routes and passages or cities that you can live in a real way thanks to the 360 ° visualization through a virtual reality glasses and the synchronized movement that the bicycle will make depending on the route chosen. In addition to the bicycle you can adjust the height of the saddle and the height of the handlebars.

PCT / US2006 / 024585 describes an exercise bike to navigate through a virtual world through a screen, included in the bicycle itself, with the synchronized movement of the handlebar rotation only.

ES1062501 describes a motorized exercise bike characterized by a reduction motor that transmits movement to the pedals. Its objective is to passively exercise different parts of the human body, for people with cardiovascular, braided or people with thrombosis etc. US20180099205. One method of positioning a console of an exercise device includes determining an angle formed between an exercise platform of the exercise device and a base of the exercise device and adjusting a physical height of a console of the exercise device to a correlated height based on the less in part at the angle of the exercise deck when it is determined that the physical height is out of alignment with the correlated height.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The objective of this invention is to give realism to the use of the exercise bike. Through virtual reality glasses the user can travel routes through different cities, and landscapes with 360 ° realism. This exercise bike is specially designed to follow the movements of turning, ascending and descending slopes simulating the movements that a real bicycle route gives you that the user will be

Looking through your virtual reality glasses. Another objective of this invention is to provide an exercise bike designed to motivate the use and give reality to it.

Another objective of this invention is to be an exercise bike that follows the movement of different routes that are projected using virtual reality glasses.

The exercise bike designed to synchronize it with the movement of virtual routes consists of:

- Height-adjustable handlebar with pulse readers

- Height adjustable saddle

- Balance base

- Guided linear arc system

- Two rotational axes

- Two pedals

- Bicycle body

- Conventional virtual reality glasses

- A touch screen or mobile or conventional tablet

- Motion drive motors.

- Gear system or power transmission

- Hydraulic or pneumatic system.

- Hydraulic or pneumatic double acting turn actuators.

- Position sensors

- Control software

- Pedaling mechanism

- Virtual reality glasses

Advantages:

- The playback speed of the projections will be proportional to the user's pedaling speed. So if the user stops pedaling the projection will stop the route.

- When the projection simulates an up or down slope, the bicycle will turn upwards simulating this movement.

- When the projection simulates a right or left turn, the user can turn the handlebars and the bicycle will lean to the left or right

simulating this movement.

- One of the main advantages of the exercise bike described here is that anyone can ride on it in the comfort of their home, or under the facilities of a gym doing exercise while being motivated by the choice of different routes and passages or cities that you can live in a real way thanks to the 360 ° visualization through a virtual reality glasses and the synchronized movement that the bicycle will make depending on the route chosen. In addition, the bicycle can adjust the height of the saddle and the height of the handlebars.

- Compact and attractive design.

- Space saving due to the absence of projection screens.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the aforementioned figures, and in accordance with the numbering adopted, an example of a preferred embodiment of the utility model can be observed, which comprises the parts and elements indicated and described in detail below:

Base, (1) piece on which the bicycle is supported and that gives balance to it, will be made of resistant material such as aluminum or iron. It will be anchored and fixed the main guide arch (2), between it and the secondary arc (3) that slides over the main (1) is the sliding pinion gear system that will move the secondary arc (3) making Sliding over the first, guide arch (2).

The body of the bicycle (4) will have a semicircular circumference shape adapting to the main guide arch (2) and the secondary arch (3). The body of the bicycle (4) will be attached by two axes (5) and (6) to the secondary arch (3). These shafts will be of a very resistant material such as steel. The axles, (5) and (6) are those that allow the bicycle's turning movement, by means of two double-acting turn actuators that will be integrated in the secondary arch (3), which will have a stop so that it does not tipping made by position sensors that will be placed on the base (1).
