Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

この発明はエアロバイクやランニングマシン、ウォ−キングマシンなどの名称で室内でのトレ−ニングに使用されているトレ−ニング装置に関するものである。The present invention relates to a training apparatus used for indoor training under names such as an exercise bike, a running machine, and a walking machine.

従来から使用されているトレ−ニング装置は、室内に設置され、心拍数など特定の項目が限界を超えて使用者の身体に悪影響が予測された場合に警告を出す方式で、設定された負荷をかけて使用者がトレ−ニングを行うものである。トレ−ニングにより消費したカロリ−などが表示される。Traditionally used training devices are installed in a room, and a warning is issued when a specific item such as heart rate exceeds the limit and an adverse effect on the user's body is predicted. The user trains by applying. The calories consumed by training are displayed.

Problems to be solved by the invention

室内に固定設置されたトレ−ニング装置では、実際に自転車が走行するとか、ランニングするとか、散歩するとかいった現実感に欠けており、爽快感の少ないトレ−ニングを続けるしか方法がなかった。In the training device fixed in the room, there was a lack of realism such as actually running a bicycle, running or taking a walk, and there was no choice but to continue training with less exhilaration. .

Means for solving the problem

自転車型トレ−ニング装置（通称エアロバイク）で戸外を走行するのと同じ効果を得るために、表示装置に道路の画像情報を映し出し、道路の勾配に応じて負荷制御装置により負荷を増減し、実際に道路を走行しているような感覚を生じさせる。上り坂を走行しているときには上り勾配に比例して負荷が大きくかかるようにし、下り坂では負荷を軽減あるいはゼロにし、こがない場合でも速度を表示し、走行距離を積算する。その上、扇風機を使用者の全面に設置し、速度に応じた風速の風を使用者に吹きつけることにより、臨場感が大きくなる。上り下りに対応してトレ−ニング装置の前後の傾きを別のモ−タ−により駆動すれば臨場感はさらに大きくなる。道路のカ−ブ部分ではハンドルを画像に合わせて左右に曲げることにより実際に自転車に乗っている感覚が生じる。ランニングマシンやウォ−キングマシンでも道路の傾斜に応じて踏み板の前後の角度を変えることにより、現実感が大きくなる。In order to obtain the same effect as traveling outdoors with a bicycle type training device (commonly known as an exercise bike), the image information of the road is displayed on the display device, the load is controlled by the load control device according to the road gradient, Creates the feeling of actually driving on the road. When traveling on an uphill, the load is increased in proportion to the ascending slope. On the downhill, the load is reduced or reduced to zero, and the speed is displayed even when the load is not present, and the traveling distance is integrated. In addition, the fan is installed on the entire surface of the user, and the wind is blown to the user according to the speed of the wind. If the inclination of the training apparatus in front and back is driven by another motor in correspondence with the up and down, the sense of presence is further increased. At the curve portion of the road, the sensation of actually riding a bicycle arises by bending the handle to the left and right according to the image. Even in running machines and walking machines, the sense of reality increases by changing the angle of the front and back of the footboard according to the slope of the road.

以下、本発明の実施の形態について説明する。自転車型トレ−ニング装置では、ＤＶＤ、ＣＤなどの大容量記録媒体に格納された、あるいはインタ−ネットを経由してダウンロ−ドした、道路の画像情報を中央処理装置で処理し、本体に取り付けた表示装置、あるいは、本体とは別に設置されたテレビなどの表示装置に表示する。この画像情報に含まれている制御信号により、道路の傾斜に応じた情報を負荷制御装置に伝達する。使用者がトレ−ニングを開始すると、速度に比例して画像情報が次々と画面に送られ、使用者は風景を楽しみながらのトレ−ニングが出来る。使用者の選択により、初心者級、中級、上級とギヤ−を決定し、ペダルの回転数と速度・走行距離の比率を変えることができる。上り坂では大きい負荷に苦しみ、下り坂では空転するペダルと心地よい風を楽しむ。より現実的には使用者の重心の移動により車体をカ−ブの方向に傾斜させることも考えられる。ブレ−キで速度を抑えたり、停止させたりすることも自転車の要素と思われる。上り坂で限界を超える場合は自動的に、または手動で、ギヤ−を落として負荷の軽減を図る。いずれの場合も積算したカロリ−が表示される。ランニングマシンやウォ−キングマシンでは、道路の傾斜に応じて前後の角度をモ−タ−で自動的に変更することにより、実際の道路でトレ−ニングしている状況を体験できる。この場合の使用者にかかる負荷は初心者級、中級、上級と熟練度に比例して踏み板の傾斜を自動的に決める。Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described. In a bicycle type training device, road image information stored in a large-capacity recording medium such as a DVD or CD or downloaded via the Internet is processed by a central processing unit and attached to the main body. Display on a display device such as a television set installed separately from the main body. Information according to the inclination of the road is transmitted to the load control device by the control signal included in the image information. When the user starts training, image information is sequentially sent to the screen in proportion to the speed, and the user can train while enjoying the scenery. Depending on the user's selection, beginner level, intermediate level, advanced level and gear can be determined, and the ratio of the number of rotations of the pedal and the speed / travel distance can be changed. On the uphill, you suffer from a heavy load, and on the downhill, enjoy the pedal and the comfortable wind. More realistically, the vehicle body may be inclined in the direction of the curve by moving the center of gravity of the user. Controlling the speed with a brake or stopping it seems to be an element of the bicycle. If the limit is exceeded on an uphill, the gear is dropped automatically or manually to reduce the load. In either case, the accumulated calories are displayed. With running machines and walking machines, you can experience the situation of training on an actual road by automatically changing the front and rear angles with a motor according to the inclination of the road. In this case, the load on the user automatically determines the inclination of the footboard in proportion to beginner level, intermediate level and advanced level.

The invention's effect

従来のトレ−ニング装置では、変化のない室内で変動しない負荷をかけて、ただ、黙々とトレ−ニングするだけで、気分的にもトレ−ニング効果は決して大きくはない。本発明によれば、気分爽快にトレ−ニングを行うことができる。自転車型トレ−ニング装置では、負荷制御装置の誤差を一定範囲内に調整・認定することにより、インタ−ネット経由で地球上のいろいろな場所で、一斉に疑似走行が可能になる。特定のコ−ス、例えば、ツ−ルドフランスのような有名な自転車レ−スも、そのコ−スを画像情報として取り込むことにより、疑似走行ができる。ランニングマシンでは角度傾斜装置の誤差を同様に一定範囲に調整・認定しておけば、世界的な競争が実現できる。トレ−ニングセンタ−のように複数台を所有する場合は、それらを回線で接続し、センタ−内での競技が可能になる。また、オリンピックなどのマラソンコ−スでの疑似体験が可能になる。In the conventional training apparatus, the training effect is not so great even if it is silently trained by applying a load that does not fluctuate in a room where there is no change. According to the present invention, training can be performed exhilaratingly. In the bicycle type training device, by adjusting and certifying the error of the load control device within a certain range, it becomes possible to simultaneously perform pseudo-running in various places on the earth via the Internet. A specific bicycle race, such as a famous bicycle race such as Tour France, can also be simulated by taking the race track as image information. In the running machine, if the error of the angle tilt device is similarly adjusted and certified within a certain range, global competition can be realized. When a plurality of vehicles are owned like a training center, they can be connected by a line to enable competition in the center. In addition, a simulated experience at a marathon course such as the Olympics becomes possible.
