FIGS. 6 and 7 are a conventional weight training apparatus 51 and a power generation type weight training apparatus 52 of the present invention, respectively, and are a front view (a) and a plan view (b), respectively.
First, a conventional weight training apparatus 51 will be described. In FIGS. 6 and 7, the same reference numerals are used for parts common to both, and particularly in the power generation type weight training apparatus 52 of the invention, L and R are added to the reference numerals for the parts that are symmetrical. Represents.

In FIG. 6, the weight 88 is supported by two guide rods 86 and is lifted by the trainee by the lifting wire 85. The weight-based training device 51 is used when a trainee operates an operation unit (not shown. The illustration of the operation unit varies depending on the training strengthened part, and varies depending on, for example, operation with arms, legs, or torso). The weight 88, which is connected to the operation portion by a lifting wire 85, moves up and down or ascends and descends along the guide rod 86 so that a predetermined load is applied to the trainee by the weight of the weight 88. In this case, the trainee can adjust the weight of the weight 88 by the number of weights 88 that move up and down. Adjustment, that is, selection of the number of weights 88 is performed by inserting weight selection pins (not shown) into the weight selection holes 87. The mechanism is such that the weight of the weight increases as the lower weight selection hole 87 is selected.

As shown in FIG. 7, the power generation type weight training apparatus 52 of the present invention replaces the conventional weight part separation structure with a rack body 80 and arranges pinions 81 on both sides to form a so-called rack and pinion structure. The machine (not shown) is driven.

The inner side surfaces of the left and right integrated weights 82 are also racks. The rack meshes with the pinion 81, and the rack body 80 moves up and down by the training of the trainee, so that it is connected to the generator drive shaft 83 of the pinion 81. Power is generated by the generator.

When a trainee operates an operation section (not shown), the rack body 80 connected to the operation section by a lifting wire 85 moves up and down or ascends and descends along the guide rod 86. The pinions 81 arranged on both sides rotate, and the integrated weights 82 arranged on both sides are supported by the weight guide rods 84 to move up and down or move up and down.

In the plan view (b), the pinion 81 is described in particular, but three types of pinions 81, that is, unit diameters 1 to 3 are arranged on the left and right, and the pinion 81 having the unit diameter 1 is engaged with the rack. In order to select another pinion 81, the generator drive shaft 83 is moved. In the front view (a), only the pinion 81 having a unit diameter of 1 is shown.

In addition, about the mechanism of the power generation type weight type training apparatus 52 of FIG. 7, the other type like FIG. 8 which has arrange | positioned the integrated weight 82 only for one side as a simpler form is also considered.

Next, a training load level of the trainee, that is, a training load setting method, and a power generation mechanism associated therewith will be described with reference to FIG. In the figure, pinions 81 having unit diameters 1 to 5 are prepared for load setting as described above, and the training load is reduced as the diameter increases. A trainer with high physical strength selects the pinion 81 with a small diameter, and a trainer with low physical strength selects the pinion 81 with a large diameter. In the figure, only one side of the pinion rack structure is shown, and 1 to 5 in the figure represent the center (that is, the generator drive shaft 83) and the diameter of each pinion 81. Pinions 81 having unit diameters 1 to 5 are represented as 811 to 815, respectively. Further, in the drawing, the generator drive shaft 83 is drawn for each diameter so that the rack and each pinion 81 are brought into contact with and meshed with FIG.

Regarding the generator, the amount of power generated when a pinion 81 having a small diameter, for example, a pinion 811 having a unit diameter of 1, is selected as compared with the case where a pinion 815 having a unit diameter of 5 is selected (assuming that the rack body 80 is moved up and down at the same speed). ) Since the generator rotates at a speed five times, a power generation amount of five times can be obtained.

  In this way, electricity proportional to the training amount of the trainee is generated. In this case, the direction of the current is reversed with the up and down movement, so that the electromotive current is alternating current. However, the reversing mechanism is arranged between the pinion 81 and the generator to form a direct current. The power generation device (not shown) is defined up to this point, and the power generation device can be connected to the power conditioner 93 via the connection unit 92 of FIG. Details of the reversing mechanism are omitted.

Regarding the load level of training, as mentioned in the description of the training history data 62 of FIG. 5 in paragraph 34, the types of pinions 81 are further increased, that is, the unit diameter is set to 1 to 10, and the driving load of the generator is set to A. B may be switched to two stages and may be set to 20 stages of 2 × 10.

As described in Paragraph 37, the rack and pinion type power generation type weight training apparatus 52 of the present invention is evolved, compared with the case where the weight selection pin is inserted and the load level is set in the conventional weight training apparatus 51, and the pinion By adopting a structure in which a selection gear box or the like is provided, automatic setting of the training load level becomes possible.

The conventional weight-based training apparatus 51 has such a mechanism that the separated weight is selected from the upper side and gradually becomes heavier, that is, toward the higher training load level. As shown in FIG. 7, the conventional separated weight is replaced with a rack body 80, pinions 81 are arranged on both sides, and an integrated weight 80 is arranged, and the generator is driven by the pinion 81.

In this way, power generation is performed in proportion to the training load level, and the power generation amount is converted into a power rate. These are collected at the entire training gym, sold, and money obtained from the amount of power generated is donated to a voluntary organization.

These electric powers are measured for each user and for each power generation type weight training equipment 52 and transmitted to the server 10 via the reader / writer 20 and the communication control unit 24 as shown in FIG. Recorded and managed as the amount of power generation in the data 62 .

The electric power generated by each machine is aggregated in the entire gym and transmitted to an electric power company through a transmission line and sold. The amount of power sold is counted at regular intervals (such as every month) and automatically transferred to an account of an arbitrary group registered in advance.

The above-described series of processes of power generation, power sale, and account transfer are also described in FIG. 1, but the application program of the server 10, the power generation control unit 15 of the training gym management unit 12, the power sale control unit 16, and the account transfer control unit The process is performed according to 17.

A mechanism for selling power by the power generation type weight-based training apparatus 52 in the training gym of the present invention using the mechanism for selling power by solar power generation will be described with reference to FIG.

The booster unit 91 boosts the voltage of each machine, that is, the system having a small number of series of power generation from the power generation apparatus, and the connection unit 92 connects the wirings for each DC system of the power generation apparatus, and combines them into one line. The power conditioner 93 converts the DC power generated in the power generation device into AC power, measures the amount of power purchased by the power company through the residential power distribution board 94, and the surplus power watt-hour meter 95. It is connected to a commercial power source via the upper transformer 96. The booster unit 91 is an option, and is installed and used when the generated voltage is low. Further, in the case of photovoltaic power generation, the residential distribution board 94 is used in such a manner that it generates electricity with a solar cell, distributes it to an electrical load in the home, and sells the surplus electricity. Since all the power generated by each machine, that is, the power generator, is sold, the generated power only passes through the residential distribution board 94. Thus, the power generation amount by training generated by each machine, that is, the power generation device, is recorded in the training history database 62 by the power generation control unit 15 of FIG.

The power sale control unit 16 (FIG. 1) receives the value of the electric energy from the surplus electricity watt-hour meter 95, sets the power sale unit price of 1 Kwh on the day of power sale, calculates the total amount for each machine, Total daily and monthly totals are recorded and managed in a training gym database (not shown).

In the account transfer control unit 17 (FIG. 1), first, log in (authenticate) to the company's account as a training gym, and from the power sale control unit 16, for example, receive and set the total amount of the entire gym as a transfer amount. Set up an account, check the other party's account (existence and account name), authentication (password setting), remittance. The remittance will be carried out by an online system such as BANCS (BANks Cash Service, a CD / ATM interconnection network connecting city banks).

  On the other hand, when the training is finished, the trainee unlocks and changes clothes with the locker 71 of FIG. 2, locks and passes the IC card to the reader / writer 20 at the reception unit 50, and the previous entry and exit times are entered and exited. Data is recorded in the training history database 62 of the server 10 by the reception control unit 13 of FIG.

  In the above description, the power generation mechanism of the power generation type weight training apparatus 52 is used to manage the training, but the power generation mechanism is also applied to other training apparatuses such as an exercise bike and a road mill, Of course, it may be integrated and managed in the system of the integrated management operation method.

A business model may be considered in which the server 10 is operated and the training gym is integrated and managed as described above. Further, at that time, the server 10 can be installed in, for example, a data center or the like so as to perform an integrated management operation of a plurality of training gyms.

  The amount of money that can be obtained by selling electricity generated by the present invention is very small, but considering the value of the money and assuming a situation in which satiety people give it to hungry people, the value has a great impact. There will be something. Training gym users can make a big contribution by reducing their poverty in the world, such as when their training is sold as electricity, and donations for the sold power are especially targeted at the poorest countries.

  Training gym managers will have the reputation of potential users by having such a mechanism, so it will be possible to increase the number of users, that is, training gym members, and maintain stable management. become able to. At the same time, such contributions also help trainers maintain and improve their motivation for training.

For example, the training history data 62 recorded and managed by each trainer can be used to notify the trainee of the rank of the training amount as a result of the effort, for example, throughout the training gym.
