A MAGNETO-RESISTIVE ENERGY-FEEDING ERGOMETER

TECHNICAL FIELD

100011 The present disclosure provides a magneto-resistive energy-feeding ergometer, which belongs to the technical field of sports training and health detection and testing

BACKGROUND ART

100021 With the continuous development of society, people's life has become more and more fast-paced, and at the same time more and more people neglect their health due to their busy work, thus inducing a series of diseases including obesity, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and so on. Therefore, strengthening people's physical activity and enhancing their physical fitness has become an urgent problem. As a characterization of the ability of the human body to sustain activity, cardiorespiratory endurance shows the level of people's cardiorespiratory endurance under a certain exercise intensity and is considered an important indicator to evaluate a person's physical fitness level. In the cardiorespiratory fitness test among the commonly used exercise methods are walking, running, ergometer, treadmill and steps. Among these several exercise methods, only ergometer has low learning effect, can accurately display the workload or output power and very safe without accidental falls. In the ergometer for the actual cardiorespiratory fitness evaluation, will set the exercise power in advance, requiring the testers to pedal at a fixed frequency for a specific time, and record the heart rate and oxygen uptake under each level of power. However, due to physical constraints, it is difficult to maintain a stable pedaling speed and thus cannot guarantee a constant power at all levels. In order to achieve constant power, the resistance must be adjusted in real time. At this stage, there are two kinds of adjustment of the resistance of ergometer, the first prior art is to adjust the resistance by motor controlling the distance between the magnet and metal flywheel by means of wire, although the number of segments of resistance adjustment is more refined, it is difficult to achieve precise constant power control, and does not have real-time performance; the second prior art is the way of current magnetic control adjustment, this way changes the magnetic resistance by changing the current or voltage of the energized coil winding. Although this way can compensate the power fluctuation generated by the pedal rate in real time and solve the problems of the first prior art to some extent, this way can realize the continuous adjustment of the resistance, but the instantaneous nature of the current adjustment will make the magnetic resistance adjustment response too sensitive and rapid, which will make the tester lack the process of resistance gradual change during use; and this way requires a large number of turns of the coil, when the current gradually increases, a large amount of heat will be generated, so the incoming current cannot be too large, thus, the adjustable power range can be adjusted by this way of current magnetron regulation in a very limited.

When the drive wheel 4 is rotating, the speed sensor will detect the rotational speed, and then the rotation speed information of the metal flywheel 10 will be transmitted to the upper computer 1 via Bluetooth technology. Where the display screen of the upper computer 1 can show the output power (according to P=13 i+Ri+P3, where PI is the power of the battery, 132 is the power consumed by the components in the control system, 133 is the power consumed by the load; where R is the resistance value of the variable load and U is the voltage of the variable load) and the pedaling rate.

[0051] Embodiment2: In this embodiment, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the coil winding 20 is connected to the load through the rectifier circuit and can also be connected to the battery, etc., for electrical energy recovery; where the battery can supply power to the electrical components, such as the upper computer 1, and the battery is connected to the upper computer 1. That is, when the magnetic resistance generating device 7 is working, that is, when a person is pedaling the pulley of the ergometer, during the rotation of the belt, the belt drive will drive the metal flywheel 10 rotation, because the permanent magnet 17 is attached to surface of the metal flywheel 10, it will form a rotating magnetic field, the stator mechanism 12 winding coil winding will cut magnetic field line (or the magnetic poles generated by the permanent magnet cut the coil conductor in the stator slot during the rotation), on the one hand, magnetic resistance is generated to provide exercise load for the tester, on the other hand, three-phase alternating current 1 generated in the coil winding 20, and after the rectification circuit, part of the electrical energy will be stored in the battery, and the other part of the electrical energy will be provided to the upper computer 1 (the load, battery, upper computer 1, etc. can be set in parallel).

[0052] Method of application 100531 As shown in FIG. 17, when using, firstly, the upper computer 1 will set a target power command information for the magneto-resistive energy-feeding ergometer, and the constant power upper computer 1 of the magneto-resistive energy-feeding ergometer will receive this command information, and will adjust the effective axial length of the air gap of the magneto-resistive generating device 7 by driving the stator mechanism 12 through the servo motor 13-1 in accordance with this command information during use. The user sits on the seat 6 and holds the armrest 2 and then starts to pedal the drive wheel 4 to make it rotate and drive the metal flywheel 10 to rotate, as the surface of the metal flywheel 10 is attached with the permanent magnet 17, a rotating magnetic field will be formed and the coil winding 20 will cut magnetic field line in the magnetic field (or the magnetic pole generated by the permanent magnet will cut the coil conductor in the stator slot during the rotation process) to provide magnetic resistance for the ergometer, and in this process the actual output power of the coil winding 20 is detected and fed back to the upper computer 1 through detection devices such as sensors (speed sensor and detection sensor), the output power is transformed to the load, which is reflected by the power output by load, that is, through the detection sensor to detect the voltage or current on both sides of the load, according to the formula to derive the output power, if the detection is voltage then the formula is: P = U2 / R, where P is the required detected output power, U is the output voltage of the coil winding 20 that is, the voltage on both sides of the load, R is the load resistance; if the detection is current, the formula is: P = I2/R, where P is the required detected output power, I is the output current of the coil winding that is, the current flowing through the load, R is the load resistance.

100541 The upper computer 1 compares the feedback output power information with the target power command information to get the error value between the two, and then the upper computer 1 controls the actuator to continuously reduce the error according to the obtained error value, and the specific way to control the actuator to continuously reduce the error is to adjust the effective axial length of the air gap, that is, to adjust the axial distance between the stator mechanism 12 and the metal flywheel 10, and the effective axial length of the air gap mainly depends on driving the AC servo, where the displacement of the stator mechanism 12 movement is achieved by changing the pulse signal of the AC servo motor 13-1, and the moving direction of the stator mechanism 12 is achieved by changing the forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor 13-1, when the tester is testing, if the tester needs to be loaded with a load, the control system of the ergometer will drive the servo motor to rotate, through the screw nut mechanism, the stator mechanism 12 wound with the coil winding 20 is driven to move linearly along the axial direction of the central shaft 9, and then realize the adjustment of the resistance of the ergometer. When the distance between the metal flywheel 10 and the stator mechanism 12 is increased, the effective axial length of the air gap becomes smaller and the resistance will become smaller, and vice versa, when the distance between metal flywheel 10 and the stator mechanism 12 is shortened, the effective axial length of the air gap becomes larger and the resistance will become larger. The schematic diagram of the control system is shown in the attached Fig. 18. If the user pedals slowly, the servo motor 13-1 needs to be rotated to adjust the stator mechanism 12 to move toward the metal flywheel 10, making the effective axial length of the air gap becomes larger, and vice versa, the servo motor rotates in the opposite direction to adjust the stator mechanism 12 to move away from the metal flywheel 10, making the effective axial length of the air gap becomes smaller; and if the said error exists all the time then the above-mentioned process of adjusting the effective axial length of the air gap is continuously executed until the error disappears, and finally the approximately coincident of the target power and the actual output power is achieved.

100551 The adjustment method of the effective axial length of the air gap of the present disclosure can realize the resistance in real time and continuously adjustable, and the adjustable range of power is larger than the range of the previous current magnetic control adjustment; furthermore, the AC servo motor is smoother in operation and no low-speed vibration occurs, so it can effectively solve the problem that the resistance gradient cannot be realized in the current magnetic regulation.

100561 In practical application, the upper computer 1 can be executed according to the requirements of the cardiorespiratory endurance assessment training program (i.e., the ergometer secondary quantitative load program). In the ergometer secondary quantitative load test, there are four phases, i.e., warm-up phase, first level load phase, second level load phase, and recovery phase, and the power required in each phase is constant power. The warm-up phase lasted for 1 minute to enable the subjects to become familiar with the exercise mode of the ergometer, and the load phase was the core of the whole test program. The main purpose is to test the subject's cardiopulmonary function under exercise stress conditions, and it is hoped that the subject will reach a steady state as soon as possible during the loading phase. Keeping the load in each phase at 3 minutes gives the subject sufficient time to reach stability during that phase. The recovery phase is necessary after intense exercise and helps the body to slowly transition from a state of high metabolic levels to a basal state, which helps to reduce the risk of exercise. Duration: 1 minute. During the test, the tester is generally required to maintain a riding speed of 60r/min throughout the pedaling process, but this speed will inevitably fluctuate, which requires adjustment of the effective axial length of the air gap The specific content of the secondary quantitative load of the ergometer is shown in Table 1, according to the requirements of the exercise load in Table 1 to control the effective axial length of the air gap between the metal flywheel with permanent magnet attached and the coil winding of the stator mechanism in the reluctance generating device (when the output power is given, the servo motor in the reluctance generator is controlled to rotate, and then the axial cross distance between the stator mechanism winding the coil winding and the metal flywheel with permanent magnet attached to the surface is adjusted through the screw nut pair mechanism) to realize the adjustment of the resistance of the reluctance type ergometer of this application.

The simulation by Ansoft-maxwell software shows that at a speed of 600 r/min (in the cardiorespiratory endurance test, the human pedaling rate is required to be 60 r/min). Under the condition of the structural size constraints, the output power of the magneto-resistive energy-feeding ergometer can be 300W.

100601 In the coil winding 20 of the present disclosure, the expansion diagram of the coil winding 20 is shown in Fig. 15; the magnetic lines of force are shown in Fig. 16, i.e., the magnetic lines of force emitted from the permanent magnet pass through the air gap 26, the stator tooth part21-1, the stator yoke part 21-2, and then return to the stator tooth part21-1, then after passing through the air gap 26, and then return to the inside of the permanent magnet to form a magnetic flux circuit.

100611 The stator mechanism 12 moves along the central shaft9 with an amplitude of no more than 31 mm, and it is known by simulation in Ansoft-maxwell software that the corresponding output power is 300W when the effective axial length of the air gap axial is 31mm, which is already able to reach the limit value of the cardiorespiratory endurance test.

100621 Fig. 13 and Fig. 14 show the electromagnetic torque and output power obtained after changing the effective axial length of the air gap. The data of the magneto-resistive energy-feeding ergometer of the present disclosure are obtained by Ansoft software simulation, and it can be seen from Fig. 13 and Fig. 14 that the electromagnetic torque can be achieved to vary from 0 Nm to 4.775 Nm and the output power can be achieved to vary from 0 -275 W in the range of 0-30 mm of the effective axial length of the air gap, which can meet the requirements for the use of the ergometer.

100631 It is to be noted that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not to be construed as a limitation of the present disclosure.

100641 In summary, the present disclosure is scientifically and reasonably structured, and facilitates the assessment and training of cardiopulmonary function under constant power condition for testers. It can also be promoted and applied in rehabilitation treatment and training.
