JP 2004-194985 A

  However, in the training apparatus of Patent Document 1, even if a space is provided in which the athlete can enter and exit, the athlete first straddles the lower sill frame when entering the space. In addition to having to enter the space and sit on the seat, it is necessary to raise the feet and bring the soles into contact with the foot pressing members. Although it does not require effort, it may be difficult for an elderly person or the like. Therefore, the training device described in Patent Document 1 is not necessarily friendly to the elderly person or the like.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and by making the front surface of the seating portion a free space free of obstacles when seated, it is possible to get in only by the operation of sitting on the seating portion. Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gentle training device that can be easily used not only for healthy subjects but also for elderly people and people with handicap. It is another object of the present invention to provide a training device that takes into consideration that an excessive load is not applied to the body of an exerciser during training.

The invention according to claim 1 includes a seating portion set at a predetermined height, a foot plate in a vertical posture that is spaced apart by a predetermined distance in front of the seating portion, and the seating portion and the foot plate. A moving mechanism for moving the seating portion back and forth while being relatively separated from each other; a load applying portion for applying a load required for a moving operation to the moving mechanism; and the foot plate. A displacement mechanism unit that moves between a front position and a boarding / alighting position that assumes a horizontal posture at a substantially lower end of the front position; and a control unit that controls the load application unit, wherein the load application unit is an electrical load. A generator, which applies a load in the opposite direction to the backward movement of the seating portion , and in the vicinity of the rear end portion of the moving range of the seating portion based on a signal from the control portion , The seating part is in front A training device, characterized in that to increase the load as close to the rear end.

  According to such a configuration, the foot plate is configured to be able to change its posture between the front position of the seating portion and the boarding / alighting position that assumes a horizontal posture at a substantially lower end of the front position, and the athlete gets into the seating portion. At the same time, by setting the horizontal posture at the substantially lower end by the displacement mechanism unit, the front surface of the seating unit becomes a completely free space without any mechanism that obstructs the seating. It is possible to sit on the seating portion very easily by using the foot plate as a stepping foot only by the same operation as the sitting operation. Therefore, not only when the exerciser is a healthy person but also an elderly person or the like, an extremely easy seating is provided. In addition, as described above, since the front of the seating part is free space when getting on and off, for an exerciser using a wheelchair, the wheelchair is moved to the immediate vicinity of the front of the training device and the seating part is directly It is possible to easily transfer to. Further, when a caregiver is accompanied by an exerciser, the caregiver's labor is greatly reduced.

  In addition, according to the above configuration, the seating portion is moved in the front-rear direction with respect to the foot plate, so that it is possible to allow the exerciser to perform flexion and extension exercises of the foot and the waist while the foot plate is fixed in position. It becomes.

  Furthermore, according to the said structure, even when an exerciser stretches a leg part rapidly and rapidly during training, a seating part becomes low speed in the rear-end part of the movement range. That is, the closer the seat is to the rear end, the greater the load in the opposite direction (toward the front of the device). Therefore, even if the seat approaches the rear end at high speed, the speed is gradually suppressed. Thus, the seating portion can be moved without difficulty and the balance of the exerciser on the seating portion can be maintained well.

  Here, the moving range of the seating part includes not only the mechanically movable range but also the moving range determined by referring to the physical information of the exerciser by the control unit as in mode 3 described later. It is a waste. This is to set a movement range that is considered appropriate for each exerciser according to the physical characteristics of each exerciser. For example, the moving range of the seating part for an athlete with a short height is set to be narrower than that of an athlete with a high height. Thus, the rear end portion of the seating range of movement is not necessarily the rear end of the mechanical movable range, but also includes the rear end of the movable range set by the control unit.

Further, according to such a configuration, the athlete sitting on the seating portion can apply the load to the seating portion by stepping on the foot while the sole is in contact with the foot plate set in the vertical posture. While moving backwards against the load of the part, if the tension is released, it is pressed by the load applying part and returns to the original front position, so training to train the legs and hips by repeating these steps and releasing the tension is repeated Executed.

  The invention described in claim 2 is the invention described in claim 1, further comprising an operation section operable from the outside, wherein the control section further controls the displacement mechanism section, and the displacement mechanism section includes the operation section. The foot plate is moved from the boarding / alighting position to the front position by a signal from the control unit based on the operation of the unit.

  According to such a configuration, when the operation unit is operated by an athlete seated on the seating unit, the foot plate is moved between the getting-on / off position and the front position by driving the displacement mechanism unit. Therefore, when an exerciser seated in the seating section starts training, the footplate is moved from the getting on / off position to the front position by operating the operation section, while when the training is completed, the footplate is moved by operating the operation section. By moving from the front position to the boarding / exiting position, the exerciser can easily get off the seat.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the first or second aspect of the present invention, the displacement mechanism section includes an arm that supports the foot plate, and the arm is rotated approximately 90 degrees to move the foot plate forward. It has a rotation mechanism part displaced between a position and the said boarding / alighting position, It is characterized by the above-mentioned.

  According to such a configuration, the posture of the foot plate is changed between the getting on / off posture and the vertical posture by driving the displacement mechanism section. Since the displacement mechanism section is configured to include an arm that supports the foot plate and a rotation mechanism section that rotates the arm by approximately 90 degrees, the arm is rotated forward and backward by driving the rotation mechanism section. It is possible to change the posture of the foot plate with a simple operation of moving it, making the structure of the displacement mechanism simple and contributing to the reduction of manufacturing costs, and the reliable posture changing operation of the foot plate Is secured.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the invention according to any one of the first to third aspects, the control unit includes an operation unit operable from the outside, and the load applying unit is based on an operation of the operation unit. The seating part is fixed in a non-movable state at the boarding / alighting position until the foot plate starts to move in response to a signal from the signal, and the fixing is released when the foot plate is moved by the operation of the operation part. It is what.

  According to such a configuration, the seating portion is fixed (locked) in a non-movable state until the foot plate starts to move by operation of the operation portion. Therefore, when the athlete sits on the seating portion and from the seating portion When standing up, it is possible to prevent the seating part from being inadvertently displaced rearward by moving the seating part back and forth or applying weight or force behind the device. If the seating part moves back and forth in an unstable manner, or if the seating part deviates greatly backwards, the body of the exerciser suddenly stretches, and there is a risk that an excessive load is applied to the muscles and joints. Can be prevented in advance. Thus, since the exerciser can sit as usual before entering the training, high reliability can be ensured.

  If a handrail integrally attached to the seating portion is provided, when an athlete sits down, the handrail can be gripped and seated, so that an elderly person or the like can also sit without trouble. The handrail is not necessarily integral with the seating part, and may be integrally attached to the body of the training device, but if a pair of handrails are provided on both sides of the moving seating part, It is also extremely useful as it supports the body of the exerciser during training.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the invention according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the load applying unit starts moving the foot plate from the boarding / alighting position to the front position in response to a signal from the control unit. Immediately after the operation, the seating portion applies a load toward the front of the apparatus to the moving mechanism portion.

  According to such a configuration, the sitting portion on which the exerciser is seated suddenly moves (shifts) backward due to the posture of the exerciser, etc., so that the body of the exerciser, in particular, the leg portion, suddenly extends, and as a result. Thus, it is possible to avoid the situation that the balance on the seat becomes bad, the inconvenience of having to return the seating portion to the front, and the strain on the muscles and joints. That is, when the foot plate starts moving from the getting-on / off position to the front position, the upper body (up from the seated buttocks) is pushed by the leg as the leg of the exerciser is gradually bent and raised. In this case, elderly people with weak muscular strength may stretch their legs as they are, so the balance on the seat becomes worse and the legs In order to determine an appropriate training start point (front position, which will be described later), it is inconvenient that the legs must be bent with the knees bent and the seating section moved forward again. is there. In addition, there is a possibility of placing a burden on the muscles of the legs and lower abdomen. In this regard, according to the present invention, at the start of the movement of the foot plate that may stretch the body, the seat portion is configured to apply a light load in the reverse direction toward the front of the device. Such rapid body growth can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to provide a training device that is easy to use especially for elderly people.

Invention of Claim 6 has the operation part which can be operated from the outside in the invention in any one of Claim 1 thru | or 5 , The said operation part can input an exerciser's body information, and The control unit is configured to set at least one of the strength of the load applied from the load applying unit and the movement range of the seating unit based on the body information input from the operation unit. is there.

  According to such a configuration, a load (pressing force) corresponding to the ability of the exerciser is set based on the physical information input from the operation unit under the control of the control unit, and the load applying unit uses the pressing force to move the seating unit. In order to press, an appropriate and reasonable movement is performed. Moreover, since the movement range of the seating part suitable for the exerciser is set based on the physical information, the exerciser can execute the exercise without imposing an excessive burden on the body.

  Here, the concept of the operation unit includes not only an input device attached to the device but also a reception unit that receives information from a database connected to a network.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the exerciser gets into the seating portion, the footplate is set in a horizontal posture so that the front space of the seating portion is a free space. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and even an elderly person or the like can easily sit on the seat portion using the foot plate as a step. Further, when a caregiver is accompanied by an exerciser, the caregiver's labor can be greatly reduced.

  In addition, since the seating portion is moved in the front-rear direction with respect to the foot plate, it is possible to cause the exerciser to perform flexion and extension of the legs and the like while the position of the foot plate is fixed.

  In addition, even if the exerciser stretches the legs suddenly during training, the seating part can be slowed down at the rear end of its moving range, so the seating part can be moved without difficulty. It is possible to maintain a good balance of the exerciser on the seat.

In addition, when the athlete sitting on the seating section strides his / her foot with the sole in contact with the foot plate set in the vertical posture, the seating section resists the load of the load applying section. However, if the tension is released, it will be pressed by the load applying part and return to the original front position.Therefore, training that trains the legs and legs by allowing the athlete to repeat these steps and the cancellation of the tension is performed. Can be given.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the operating portion is operated by the exerciser seated on the seating portion, the foot plate moves between the getting on / off position and the front position by driving the displacement mechanism portion. Therefore, when the exerciser sitting on the seating section starts training, the operation section is operated to move the foot plate from the getting on / off position to the front position, while when the training is finished, the operation section is operated. Thus, the foot plate is moved from the front position to the boarding / exiting position, so that the exerciser can easily get off the seating portion.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, the displacement mechanism section includes the arm that supports the foot plate and the rotation mechanism section that rotates the arm by approximately 90 degrees. With this drive, the arm is rotated forward and backward to easily change the posture of the foot plate, simplifying the structure of the displacement mechanism and contributing to a reduction in manufacturing costs. Can be secured.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, since the seating portion is fixed in a non-movable state until the foot plate starts to move by the operation of the operation portion, the seating is performed when the athlete sits on the seating portion. It is possible to prevent the seat portion from being inadvertently displaced rearward by moving the part back and forth or applying weight or force behind the device. Therefore, the exerciser can sit as usual before entering the training, and can ensure high reliability.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, at the start of the upward movement of the foot plate that may cause the body to fully stretch, a light load in the opposite direction toward the front of the device is applied to the seating portion. Therefore, it is possible to suppress rapid body growth that goes backward. Therefore, it is possible to provide a training device that is easy to use especially for elderly people.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, the pressing force corresponding to the ability of the exerciser is set based on the body information input from the operation unit under the control of the control unit, and the seating is performed with the pressing force set for the load applying unit. Since the part is pressed, it is possible for the exerciser to execute the exercise in an appropriate and reasonable state. Moreover, since the movement range of the seating part suitable for the exerciser is set based on the physical information, the exerciser can be caused to perform an exercise that does not place an excessive burden on the body.

Thus, the locked state of the tilted posture of the backrest 36 is released.

  When the backrest 36 is unlocked and the backrest 36 is rotated around the first shaft 345 and the hand is released from the operation lever 372 at a desired tilt angle, the lock pin 3742 is moved to the coil spring 3745. The large-diameter portion 3744 of the lock pin 3742 is fitted into the new lock hole 3751 of the positioning plate 375, and thereby the new tilting posture of the backrest 36 is locked. .

  Next, returning to FIG. 1, the moving mechanism unit 38 will be described. The moving mechanism portion 38 is installed on the base board 20 in the seating portion frame 31 and includes a slide motor (load applying portion) 381 having a drive shaft 3811 extending rightward, and a drive shaft of the slide motor 381. A first drive sprocket 382 concentrically and externally fitted to 3811, a first driven sprocket 383 disposed opposite to the first drive sprocket 382 at the rear, the first driven sprocket 383 and the first drive. A first chain 384 stretched between the sprocket 382, a second shaft 385 crossing the seating frame 31 concentrically and integrally with the first driven sprocket 383 left and right, and the second shaft 385 A left rear sprocket 386 concentrically fitted to the left end so as to be integrally rotatable, and a left side of the seat frame 31 For moving the board, the left front sprocket 387 disposed opposite to the left rear sprocket 386 in the forward direction and the seating support board 34 stretched between the left front sprocket 387 and the left rear sprocket 386 are moved back and forth. And a chain 388.

  In the present embodiment, a servo motor capable of reliably controlling the drive amount is applied as the slide motor 381.

  The first driven sprocket 383 is set to have a diameter larger than that of the first drive sprocket 382, thereby generating a larger torque than the first drive sprocket 382.

  The board moving chain 388 is fixed to the back side of the seating support board 34 supported by a pair of sliders 33 with screws or the like via a predetermined connection fitting 389, whereby the seating support board. 34 is configured to be able to move forward and backward in the front-rear direction by forward and reverse rotation between the left rear sprocket 386 and the left front sprocket 387 of the board moving chain 388 by forward and reverse driving of the slide motor 381.

  In the present embodiment, the slide motor 381 is not only driven to slide the seat 35, but is also seated on the seat 35 to achieve the original purpose of the moving mechanism 38. It is driven to give a predetermined load to the athlete M. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3C, an athlete M sitting on a seat 35 positioned at the rear position leans his back on the backrest 36 and puts his soles on his feet. Since the slide motor 381 is driven so that the drive shaft 3811 rotates counterclockwise around the shaft center in a state where the drive shaft 3811 is stretched in contact with a foot plate 42 (described later) set in a vertical posture. is there.

  The seating support board 34 is driven via the first drive sprocket 382, the first chain 384, the first driven sprocket 383, the second shaft 385, the left rear sprocket 386, and the board moving chain 388 by driving the slide motor 381. This force is applied forward, and this force becomes a load that resists the stride force of the athlete M. The exerciser M trains his / her legs by bending his / her legs against this load.

  Next, the footrest mechanism 40 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, the footrest mechanism 40 includes a pair of plate-like footrest frames 41 erected on the left and right edges of the front end position of the base board 20, and the pair of footrest frames 41. A foot plate 42 that can be changed between a horizontal posture T1 (FIG. 3A) and a vertical posture T2 (FIGS. 2, 3B, 3C, and 4), A displacement mechanism 43 that changes the posture of the foot plate 42 is provided. The foot plate 42 is positioned at the boarding / exiting position according to the present invention for the athlete M to get on and off by setting the posture to the horizontal posture T1.

  The footrest frame 41 has an upper and lower elongated frame 411 having an upper edge formed in an arcuate shape, and the upper and lower elongated frame 411 extends rearward from the lower portion of the rear edge. And a square frame 412 having a substantially square shape in a side view. Each of the pair of footrest frames 41 is fixed to the base board 20 by screwing or the like at each lower end portion via a predetermined angle member.

  The foot plate 42 is for the athlete M sitting on the seat 35 to place his / her feet, and in the present embodiment, the foot plate 42 is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view. The foot plate 42 has a pair of reinforcing edge portions 421 extending in the front-rear direction and projecting upward from the left and right edge portions. Connection portions 422 projecting upward are respectively provided at the rear portions of the reinforcing edge portions 421, and plate support arms (arms) 423 extending in the vertical direction are connected to the connection portions 422 with screws or the like. It is fixed.

  The upper ends of the plate support arms 423 are respectively provided with support shafts 424 projecting in opposite directions on the left and right, while the left and right footrest frames 41 are respectively Support holes 413 into which the support shafts 424 are slidably fitted are formed at the upper positions, and the foot plates 42 are horizontally mounted around the support shafts 424 by inserting the support shafts 424 into the corresponding support holes 413. It can rotate approximately 90 degrees between T1 and vertical posture T2.

  The displacement mechanism 43 transmits the lifting motor 44 installed horizontally on the square frame 412 of the right footrest frame 41 and the drive of the lifting motor 44 to the support shaft 424 of the foot plate 42. A driving force transmission mechanism (rotation mechanism) 45 is provided.

  The driving force transmission mechanism 45 is disposed opposite to a second driving sprocket 451 concentrically fitted to the driving shaft 441 of the lifting / lowering motor 44 so as to be integrally rotatable with the lower portion of the second driving sprocket 451. 452, a second chain 453 stretched between the first and second sprockets 451 and 452, and a third shaft 454 extending in the front-rear direction for supporting the second driven sprocket 452 so as to be concentrically and integrally rotatable. A worm 455 concentrically fitted to the third shaft 454 so as to be integrally rotatable, a fourth shaft 456 penetrating between the pair of footrest frame 41, and the right footrest frame 41. A worm wheel 457 that is concentrically fitted to the right end of the penetrated fourth shaft 456 so as to be integrally rotatable and meshes with the worm 455, and the fourth shaft 45 A pair of left and right third driven sprockets 458 concentrically fitted to the left and right end portions of the left and right ends of the first driven sprockets 458, respectively, and opposed to each other at the upper part of each third driven sprocket 458, and the support shaft of the foot plate 42 A pair of left and right fourth driven sprockets 459 that are concentrically and externally fitted to 424 and a pair of left and right third chains 4591 that are stretched between the third and fourth driven sprockets 458 and 459. It is configured with.

  In the present embodiment, the worm 455 is screwed in a so-called right-hand thread form so that the spiral advances while rotating clockwise when viewed from the end face.

  According to the driving force transmission mechanism 45 having such a configuration, the drive shaft 441 is driven in the counterclockwise direction by driving the elevating motor 44 in a state where the foot plate 42 is set in the horizontal posture T1 (FIG. 3A). When rotated (hereinafter referred to as positive rotation or positive drive), the positive drive rotation of the drive shaft 441 is transmitted to the third shaft 454 via the second drive sprocket 451, the second chain 453, and the second driven sprocket 452, As a result, the worm 455 rotates integrally with the third shaft 454 counterclockwise (forward rotation).

  When the worm 455 having the right spiral is rotated forward, the worm wheel 457 engaged with the worm 455 rotates integrally around the fourth shaft 456 in the clockwise direction, so that the left and right third driven sprockets 458 are rotated in the clockwise direction. And the rotation of each third driven sprocket 458 is transmitted to each fourth driven sprocket 459 via each third chain 4591, whereby each fourth driven sprocket 459 is supported by each support. It rotates integrally around the axis 424 in the clockwise direction.

  As a result, when each support shaft 424 rotates in the clockwise direction around the axis, the foot plate 42 set in the horizontal posture T1 rotates integrally around the support shaft 424 via each plate support arm 423, This leads to the vertical posture T2.

  On the other hand, when the foot plate 42 once set to the vertical posture T2 is returned to the original horizontal posture T1, the driving force transmission mechanism 45 may be reversely driven. As a result, the driving force transmission mechanism 45 acts in the opposite direction to rotate the support shafts 424 counterclockwise around the axis, so that the foot plate 42 in the vertical posture T2 returns to the original horizontal posture T1. Will return.

  In the present invention, when sitting on the seat 35, as shown in FIG. 3A, the foot plate 42 is set in the horizontal posture T1 in advance. In this state, there is a free space in front of the seating 35 that is free from any obstacles for sitting, and the athlete can easily sit in a state of sitting on a chair.

  That is, without straddling various frames and members, if necessary, the user can sit on the seat 35 by twisting his / her hips after gripping the handrail 343 and placing the foot on the foot plate 42. As will be described later, this training device does not exercise against the load at the exerciser's own intention, but the training device performs the exercise of the exerciser's legs with external force for the purpose of rehabilitation etc. A passive passive exercise mode is provided, but a case of a person using a wheelchair may be considered as a target person who performs such exercise. Even in such a case, since there is nothing in the space up to the seating, the wheelchair can be brought close to the vicinity thereof and can be easily seated.

  As described above, even if the exerciser M is an elderly person or the like, it can be easily trained using the training device 10.

  The input / output unit 50 includes an L-shaped support pole 51 whose lower portion is bent at a right angle, and an input / output device 52 supported on the top of the support pole 51. The support pole 51 is dimensioned so that its height is slightly lower than the line of sight of the athlete M seated on the seat 35. The lower part of the support pole 51 bent at a right angle is fixed to the left front of the base board 20 via a predetermined fixing bracket 511.

  The input / output device 52 includes a box-shaped casing 53 and a panel board 54 formed on the surface side of the casing 53. The casing 53 is fixed to the top of the support pole 51 in a state in which the casing 53 is obliquely set so as to face the face of the athlete M seated on the seat 35.

  The panel board 54 is provided with a display unit 541 composed of an LCD (Liquid crystal display) for displaying various information or key operations on the upper half, and various numerical data are input to the lower half. Various operation keys are provided for this purpose. When the training apparatus 10 is used, various conditions for training are input by performing push button operations on these operation keys. Information such as input information and various training results obtained by performing training is output to the display unit 541 on the screen. Alternatively, a key operation guide is displayed when the exerciser himself / herself wants to set a load or a training time, regardless of the setting on the apparatus side during training.

  The control unit 60 is a so-called microcomputer that controls the operation of the training device 10 based on input information from the panel board 54 when the exerciser M performs training with the training device 10. (See FIG. 2B). Hereinafter, control by the control unit 60 will be described with reference to FIG.

  FIG. 6 is a block diagram for explaining the operation control of the training apparatus 10 by the control unit 60. As shown in FIG. 6, the control unit 60 is a CPU (central processing unit) 61 as an arithmetic processing unit, a ROM 62 that is a read-only storage device attached to the CPU 61, and a readable / writable storage device. The basic configuration includes a RAM 63. The ROM 62 stores a program for operating the CPU 61, invariant data that is not changed, and the like, but the ROM 62 temporarily generates in the middle of arithmetic processing and discrimination processing by the CPU 61. The stored data is temporarily stored.

  The CPU 61 includes an initial operation setting unit 611, a load intensity setting unit 612, a training time setting unit 613, a training time determination unit 614, and a control signal output unit 615.

  The initial operation setting unit 611 functions to set an initial operation of the training apparatus 10 based on input information from the operation unit 542.

  The load intensity setting unit 612 functions to set training intensity based on input information from the operation unit 542.

  The training time setting unit 613 performs a function of setting a training time based on input information from the operation unit 542.

  The training time determination unit 614 functions to determine whether or not the time elapsed since the exerciser M started exercising exceeds the set time set by the training time setting unit 613.

  The control signal output unit 615 is used when necessary for the display unit 541 based on the setting signal or the discrimination signal from the initial operation setting unit 611, the load intensity setting unit 612, the training time setting unit 613, and the training time discrimination unit 614. In addition to outputting a control signal for performing a predetermined display output, the control signal is output to one or both of the slide motor 381 and the lift motor 44.

  On the other hand, the panel board 54 of the input / output device 52 is provided with various keys and switches for inputting necessary information to the CPU 61. FIG. 7 is a front view showing an embodiment of the layout of the panel board 54. As shown in FIG. 7, the panel board 54 is divided into two parts at the top and bottom, and the display unit 541 is provided in the upper half as described above, and an area as the operation unit 542 for performing various input operations is secured in the lower half. Has been.

  The operation unit 542 is provided with a power switch 543 at the upper right position in FIG. 7 and a numeric keypad 544 at the center. Below the numeric keypad 544, a mode key 5442, a weight key 5443, a height key 5444, an age key 5445, a sex key 5446, and a condition setting key 545 are provided. In addition, an unlock key 5420 for inputting the start of training is provided above the condition setting key 545, and an end key 5424 for inputting the end of training is adjacent to the unlock key 5420. Is provided.

  A decimal point key for displaying the decimal point in the input from the numeric keypad 544 is provided on the right side of “0”, and a confirmation key 5441 is provided on the right side thereof, and numerical data is obtained using the numeric keypad 544 and the decimal point key. Then, the enter key 5441 is pushed to confirm the input numerical value.

  The mode key 5442, the weight key 5443, the height key 5444, the age key 5445, and the condition setting key 545 are for determining which item the numerical data input from the numeric keypad 544 corresponds to. Specifically, for example, when inputting the body weight, first, the body weight key 5443 is pressed, and after a specific body weight value is input from the numeric keypad 544, the enter key 5441 is pressed. By doing so, weight data is input to the control unit 60. The same applies to other keys.

  The mode key 5442 is a mode for the linking operation between the seating seat 35 and the foot plate 42 in the training apparatus 10, and the first to third modes are employed in the present embodiment. The exerciser M can arbitrarily select any mode by pressing the number corresponding to each mode of the numeric keypad 544 after pressing the mode key 5442. For example, in the case of selecting mode 2, after pressing the mode key 5442, the numeric keypad “2” is input. After the mode key 5442 is pressed, if there is no numeric key input for a predetermined time (for example, 5 seconds), the first mode is automatically selected. In any mode, the initial position of the seating 35 is located at the home position (front position) U0 (FIG. 3A).

  At the home position U0, the seat 35 is locked in a non-movable state by the slide motor 381. The slide motor 381 is locked by a signal from the control signal output unit 615. By locking in this way, when an athlete sits on the seat 35 and stands up from the seat 35, the seat 35 moves back and forth, or weight or force is applied to the rear of the apparatus. Thus, it is possible to prevent the seat 35 from being carelessly shifted backward. If the seat 35 moves back and forth in an unstable manner, or if it moves greatly backwards, the body of the athlete will suddenly stretch, which may place an excessive load on the muscles and joints. Such problems can be prevented in advance. Thus, the exerciser can easily sit down before entering the training, and can get off from the seating 35 in a stable state even at the end of the training, so that high reliability can be ensured.

  In addition, since the handrail 343 is integrally provided in the seating seat 35, more specifically, the seating support board 34, when an athlete sits down or gets off, the handrail 343 can be grasped and boarded / exited. Furthermore, getting on and off becomes easy. The handrail 343 is not necessarily integral with the seating support board 34 but may be integrally attached to the body of the training apparatus, but a pair of handrails 343 are provided on both sides of the moving seat. By providing it, it will support the body of the exerciser during training and is extremely useful.

First Mode When the athlete M is seated on the seat 35, the first mode is selected with the foot placed on the foot plate 42 in a horizontal posture, and the lock release key 5420 is pressed, first the lock release key 5420 is When the push button is pressed, the seat 35 is unlocked by the slide motor 381 and can move along the guide rail 32. Thereafter, the athlete M presses the up key 5421 to change the posture of the foot plate 42 from the horizontal posture T1 to the vertical posture T2. Here, the foot plate 42 is in the vertical posture only while the up key 5421 is pressed. Rotate toward T2. When the exerciser M stops pressing the up key, the rotation of the foot plate 42 also stops. Thus, the exerciser M can finely adjust and determine the optimum position for himself / herself in the vertical posture.

  That is, when the athlete M feels that the foot plate 42 has risen too much, the foot plate 42 can be rotated downward, that is, in the horizontal posture direction by pressing the down key 5422. Here, as described above, the seat 35 is unlocked and can move along the guide rail 32. Therefore, as the foot plate 42 is rotated upward, the legs of the athlete M Therefore, it moves naturally to the seat 35 where the exerciser M is seated, corresponding to the change in the posture of the exerciser.

  Then, after determining the posture that seems to be optimal for the user with the up key 5421 and the down key 5422, the position of the foot plate 42 (front position U 1) is determined by the athlete pressing the enter key 5441. Thereafter, the training is started by pressing the start key 5423. When training is started, a load in the forward direction of the apparatus by the moving mechanism unit 38 is applied to the seating support board 34 (specifically, the slide motor 381 is energized).

  Here, the athlete M, for example, from the front position U1 (FIG. 3 (B)) by pushing the foot toward the foot plate 42 whose posture is changed from the horizontal posture T1 to the vertical posture T2, the rear position against the load. (Separation position) U2 (Training for moving the seating 35 toward FIG. 3C is performed. The load applied to the seating 35 is suddenly close to the rear position in the vicinity of the rear position. This is because when the athlete M vigorously stretches the legs, if the load is constant, the seat 35 moves at a high speed toward the rear position, and the This is because there is a possibility of losing balance.

  Therefore, if the load is increased as described above, even if the athlete M vigorously extends the leg, the load increases as the position approaches the rear position, so that the moving speed of the seat 35 gradually increases. The seated seat 35 can be stably moved without reducing the balance.

  Here, in order to facilitate the movement of the seat 35 in the initial stage of the movement of the seat 35, the load for stopping is suddenly increased particularly in the vicinity of the rear position. This reason is shown in FIG. This is because it is difficult for the exerciser to apply force in the state where the leg portion is bent as in the front position), and if the load is increased in the initial stage of the movement, the seat 35 becomes difficult to move. If there is no particular problem, as another form, it is conceivable to gradually increase the load from the front position in FIG. 3 (B) toward the rear position in FIG. 3 (C).

Second Mode The second mode is a modified mode of the first mode, and only differences from the first mode will be described below. Similarly to the first mode, in the second mode, the lock of the seating 35 is released by pressing the lock release key 5420. However, before releasing the lock, a weak load toward the front is applied to the seating 35 in advance. The point is different. That is, simultaneously with the unlocking, a force for moving the seat 35 toward the front is applied. This makes it easy to set the training start point, and the exerciser M may suddenly stretch the body backwards when adjusting the position of the foot plate 42, and strain the muscles and joints. Disappear.

  That is, by pressing the start key, the seat 35 is unlocked and can be moved freely back and forth. Therefore, even if the position adjustment of the foot plate 42 is performed stepwise with the up key 5421, for example, In the case where the muscular strength is reduced by an elderly person or the like, it is conceivable that the body stretches backwards at a stretch just by raising the foot plate 42 a little. Alternatively, even when the exerciser M suddenly extends the leg portion even when the position of the foot plate 42 is adjusted, the body moves backward. In this case, the balance on the seating seat 35 is deteriorated, and in order to determine an appropriate training start point (front position U1), the knee is bent with force applied to the leg portion, and the seating portion is moved forward again. This is inconvenient. Also, sudden body growth is not preferable because it may put a strain on muscles and joints.

Therefore, in order to suppress the inconvenience as described above or the burden on the body, a predetermined level of load is applied to the seat 35 in the direction opposite to the extension of the body, that is, toward the front of the device. . As the predetermined level, if the load is too strong, it is difficult to adjust the position of the seated seat 35, so a relatively weak load is set. The load F at the time of position adjustment can be set to the following load level with reference to the physical information of the exerciser M, in this embodiment, the weight data, for example.
F = τ × (W + WS) × δ Formula 1
Here, τ is a coefficient of friction between the seating section 30 and the guide rail 32, W is the weight of the exerciser, WS is the weight of the seating section 30, and δ is a load level coefficient.

  The friction coefficient τ varies depending on the structure and material, but is a numerical value in the range of 0.003 to 0.015, for example (the lower the numerical value, the more ideal it can be moved without difficulty). The load level coefficient δ indicates how much load is applied to the seating portion. If δ = 1, the seating portion 30 is in a state immediately before moving (however, it has not moved yet).

  In the present embodiment, δ is assumed to be 1.05. Based on this, when adjusting the position of the seating portion 30 when the average exerciser performs training, the load F applied forward to the seating portion 30 is, for example, δ = 0.01, the weight of the exerciser is 60 kg, When the weight of the seating portion 30 is 15 kg and δ = 1.05, F (kg) = 0.01 × (60 (kg) +15 (kg)) × 1.05 = 0.7875 (kg) ≈788 (g ) That is, the above-mentioned problem can be prevented by applying a load of about 800 g. As is clear from the above explanation, this load is applied to the seat before entering the training and is not related to the load at the time of training. Is applied.

  Further, although this load is omitted in Equation 1, it is desirable to consider other physical information of the exerciser M, for example, information such as height. This is because, for example, taking height as an example, it is considered that the body of a tall person is more likely to extend backward than a small person. Therefore, the higher the height, the greater the load applied to the front, making it possible to respond in detail to individual athletes.

  The physical information such as the weight and height of the exerciser can be input with the numeric keypad 544. However, this apparatus is installed in, for example, a fitness club store and confirms the exerciser's ID (personal information) prior to training. If the personal information of the exerciser recorded on the server can be accessed by the network as necessary, the physical information of the exerciser is taken in when the second mode is selected. Also good. This also applies to physical information input in the third mode described later.

  As described above, the second mode is designed to improve convenience for the elderly and exercisers with weak muscle strength. Therefore, elderly people and exercisers with weak muscles should use this second mode, or use the third mode described below to describe the product specifications, etc., or if the instructor is accompanied by an instructor May select the second or third mode, or guide the exerciser to select.

Third Mode The third mode is also a modified mode of the first mode, and only differences from the first mode will be described below. The third mode further enhances the ease of getting on and off considered in the second mode. That is, in accordance with the physical information of the exerciser M, the movement range of the seating 35, that is, the front position U1 serving as the training start point and the rear position U2 serving as the rear end of the movement of the seating 35 are the control unit 60, More specifically, it is determined by the initial operation setting unit 611 in the CPU 61. Therefore, the exerciser only has to input physical information (weight, height, age, and sex in this embodiment) and push the lock release key 5420.

  In the third mode, the seat 35 moves only from the home position (see FIG. 3 (A)) to the front position before the start of training. A situation in which the body is burdened by suddenly extending backward is avoided. Further, during the training, the rear position U2 is moved only to a range desired for the exerciser, so that an exercise that places an excessive burden on the exerciser is not performed. For example, in the case of an elderly person, moving the seat 35 to the rear until the legs are fully extended may overload the body. Therefore, setting is made such that the moving range of the seating 35 is narrowed by using age or height as a parameter.

  In addition, as described above, the third mode is originally considered in consideration of ease of getting on and off and the appropriateness of the load. However, even a normal exerciser sets the training start point of the seating 35 as the first mode. The third mode may be selected when it is desired to leave it to the apparatus instead of making a decision with the start key 5423 as in the mode.

  By the way, although said 1st-3rd mode presupposes that an exerciser trains against load, in this training device 10, the passive exercise mode which is a more passive mode is provided. ing. In the passive exercise mode, the apparatus automatically moves the seat back and forth simply by placing the foot on the foot plate.

  That is, the exerciser M does not need to perform the operation of stretching the leg against the load, and performs a passive operation guided to the apparatus. The purpose of this mode is especially for rehabilitation, etc., trying to restore its original function by moving joints and muscles that are hardened or extremely weakened by applying external force. To do. Such a passive motion mode is set by pressing “0” of the numeric keypad 544 after pressing the mode key 5442. The operation until the start key 5423 is pushed is the same as in the third mode. The caregiver or gym trainer may input the physical information. If the physical information of the person is recorded in advance on the server and the information can be downloaded, this input operation can be omitted.

  The function in each mode has been described above, and further description will be given with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7 including the signal flow of each unit.

  Input information from the operation unit 542 is once input to the initial operation setting unit 611 and then displayed on the display unit 541 via the control signal output unit 615.

  In the initial operation setting unit 611, the mode key 5442, the weight key 5443, the height key 5444, the age key 5445, and the gender key 5446 are pressed with the power switch 543 turned on (actually these keys and the numeric keypad). The initial operation of the training apparatus 10 is set for the mode selected based on the information input by the combination of 544 and the confirmation key 5441. Based on this setting, the initial operation setting unit 611 outputs a command signal to the control signal output unit 615 so that the seat 35 and the foot plate 42 can operate in this mode.

  In order for the initial operation setting unit 611 to set the initial operation of the training device 10, the ROM 62 stores information on the slide motor 381 and the lifting motor 44 regarding the initial operation of the training device 10 for each selected mode. There is an initial operation table storage unit 621 for storing an initial operation table that is tabulated as to whether to act. Then, the initial operation setting unit 611 extracts information on the initial operation of the mode related to the input signal from the mode key 5442 from the table stored in the initial operation table storage unit 621, and outputs a command signal based on this information as a control signal. It outputs to the part 615.

  The control signal output unit 615 to which this command signal is input outputs a control signal corresponding to the selected mode to the slide motor 381 and the lift motor 44, so the slide motor 381 and the lift motor 44 are Predetermined driving based on this control signal is performed, whereby the seating 35 and the foot plate 42 perform operations corresponding to the modes as described above.

  When the first mode is selected, the seating 35 is movable from the home position U0 to the rear position U2, which is the longest rear position to which the seating 35 can move. When the second or third mode is selected, the positions of the front position U1 and the rear position U2 corresponding to the physical information are set, and the seating 35 can move only within this range. Specifically, when the second or third mode is selected, when the seat 35 attempts to move beyond the set range, it is given by the slide motor 381 based on the control signal from the control signal output unit 615. The load to be operated is increased and operates to prevent movement.

  In order to perform such control, in the present embodiment, the slide motor 381 causes the control signal output unit 615 to determine whether the seat 35 is in the home position U0 based on the number of rotations thereafter. Although the position is determined, instead of this, a position sensor may be provided on the guide rail 32, and the position of the seat 35 may be detected based on a detection signal of the position sensor.

  The load intensity setting unit 612 outputs a control signal based on physical information input from the operation unit 542 after the training apparatus 10 performs a predetermined initial operation according to the initial operation setting by the initial operation setting unit 611. It outputs toward the motor 381 for a slide via the part 615, and the strut load which adapted to the physical information of the exerciser M by this is given to the exerciser M concerned.

  In order to set such a tension load, the ROM 62 has a table of the tension load in which the relationship between the physical information obtained by input from the weight key 5443, the height key 5444, the age key 5445, and the sex key 5446 and the tension load is tabulated. A load table storage unit 622 for storing the table is provided.

  Then, the load strength setting unit 612 sets the strength of the strut load with reference to the table stored in the load table storage unit 622 based on the input physical information, and uses the set load value as a command signal as a control signal. The output is made to the output unit 615.

  The control signal output unit 615 to which the set load command signal is input adjusts the amount of electric power supplied to the slide motor 381 (this amount of electric power is also a kind of control signal), and the slide motor 381 based thereon is adjusted. The stride load is applied to the exerciser M in accordance with the physical information.

  The initial athlete M seated on the seat 35 is in the state where the seat 35 is positioned at the home position U0 shown in FIG. 4A, and the sole is in the vertical posture T2 in this state. While being in contact with the plate 42, the knee is bent with the back leaning on the backrest 36. Further, when the state shifts to the front position U1 of FIG. 3B where training starts from this state, and the knee is stretched and stretched in order to extend the leg in this state, the seating seat 35 is moved to the sliding motor 381. Moves toward the rear against the force to drive and rotate, that is, the load, and reaches the rear position U2 as shown in FIG. 4B. If the knee is bent in this state, the seat 35 returns to the front position U1 again by driving the slide motor 381.

  Accordingly, when the exerciser M sitting on the seat 35 repeats the bending and stretching movements of the knee, a force against the load caused by the driving of the sliding motor 381 is applied when the knee is extended, and thereby, the crotch and knees in the lower limbs In addition, a flexion and extension movement in which the three joints of the foot are coordinated is realized, and the quadriceps, triceps surae, and greater gluteal muscles are trained.

  Since the strut load applied to the exerciser M during flexion and extension exercises is appropriately set according to physical strength based on physical information, the training apparatus 10 is effective not only for healthy subjects but also for elderly people and the like. Can be used.

  The training time setting unit 613 sets the training time based on the physical information input from the operation unit 542 after the training apparatus 10 performs a predetermined initial operation according to the initial operation setting by the initial operation setting unit 611. Has been made. On the other hand, when the set training time set by the training time setting unit 613 has elapsed, the training time determination unit 614 moves from the control signal output unit 615 toward the slide motor 381, the lift motor 44, and the slide motor 381. By outputting a predetermined control signal, the training mode of the training apparatus 10 is automatically converted into the stop mode.

  In order to set the training time, the ROM 62 has a training time in which the relationship between the physical information obtained by input from the weight key 5443, the height key 5444, the age key 5445, and the sex key 5446 and the training time is tabulated. A training time table storage unit 623 for storing the table is provided. The training time setting unit 613 sets the training time with reference to a table stored in the training time table storage unit 623 based on the input physical information.

  On the other hand, the RAM 63 is provided with a set time storage unit 631 for deleting and updating the previously set training time set by the training time setting unit 613 and storing the set time. A timer 632 is provided for starting the time counting operation from the time when the unit 631 updates and stores the set time.

  The training time discriminating unit 614 always compares the elapsed time measured by the timer 632 with the training set time stored in the set time storage unit 631, and when the elapsed time reaches the set time, the slide motor A control signal for switching the training apparatus 10 from the training mode to the stop mode is output toward the motor 381 and the lift motor 44. As a result, the foot plate 42 automatically changes its posture from the vertical posture T2 to the horizontal posture T1, and the seating 35 automatically moves toward the home position U0, and a series of training is completed.

  Thus, since the time for continuing the training is appropriately set according to the physical strength based on the physical information, it is possible to effectively use the training device 10 even for an elderly person as well as a healthy person. it can.

  In the present embodiment, after setting the mode by pressing the mode key 5442 described above, the body information is input, without automatically setting the straddle load and the training time. It is also possible to train by generating a strut load with an arbitrary force for an arbitrary time.

  When performing so-called control-free training without performing such control by the control unit 60, first, after selecting the mode, the condition setting key 545 is pushed before the start key 5423 is finally pushed. Then, an instruction such as “Please input the strength of the load with the numeric keypad. Weak → 1, Normal → 2, Strong → 3-5 (5 is the strongest)” is displayed on the display unit 541. Based on this instruction, the athlete inputs a number and presses the enter key 5441. At the same time, the load is set, and at the same time, the display unit 541 displays, for example, “Enter the training time with the numeric keypad. The unit is minutes.” Is displayed. Based on this instruction, when the exerciser inputs a number and presses the enter key 5441, the training time is set. As a result, the display unit 541 displays “Training starts when the start key is pressed.” Based on this instruction, the exerciser pushes the start key 5423 to start training. Incidentally, when the end key 5424 is pressed, the training can be ended regardless of whether the training apparatus 10 is set to the automatic training mode or the manual training mode. When the end key 5424 is pressed, the seat 35 is set to return to the home position U0 and be locked.

  Hereinafter, the control in the first to third modes in the control flow of the training apparatus 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10 are flowcharts showing an embodiment of the control flow of the training apparatus 10. This flowchart shows an automatic training mode that is executed after the mode key 5442 is pressed. The flow is when the athlete M is seated on the seat 35 in a state where the foot plate 42 is set to the horizontal position T1 and the seat 35 is set to the home position U0 (see FIG. 3A). )

  First, when the power switch 543 is turned on in step S1 (YES in step S1), it is determined whether or not the mode key 5442 is pressed, and if the mode key 5442 is pressed (YES in step S2), step S3 is determined. The initial operation setting unit 611 determines whether or not the numeric keypad 544 is pressed to select any mode before a predetermined time (patrol time, 5 seconds in the present embodiment) elapses. For this determination, the ROM 62 stores 5 seconds as the patrol time, and the initial operation setting unit 611 immediately after the mode key 5442 is pressed by the timer 632 after the mode key 5442 is pressed. The elapsed time is counted, and it is always determined whether or not this elapsed time has exceeded the patrol time.

  As a result of the determination in step S3, if the numeric keypad 544 is pressed before the tour time has elapsed (YES in step S3), the next step S4 is executed, but if the button is not pressed (step S3). NO), it is considered that the first mode has been forcibly selected, and the process skips to step S7.

  In step S4, whether or not the mode selected in step S4 is the first mode, that is, whether or not the ten key 544 that has been pressed until the tour time elapses after the mode key 5442 is pressed is “1”. It is determined whether or not. If the first mode is selected by pressing “1” on the numeric keypad 544 (YES in step S4), step S7 and subsequent steps are executed.

  On the other hand, if the first mode is not selected (NO in step S4), it is determined whether step S5 is executed and the second mode is selected, that is, after the push button of the mode key 5442 is pressed, “ It is determined whether or not “2” is pressed. When the second mode is set by pressing “2” on the numeric keypad 544 (YES in step S4), steps after step S14 are executed.

  On the other hand, if the second mode is not selected (NO in step S4), it is confirmed that the third mode has been selected by inputting “3” from the numeric keypad 544 (YES in step S6). Step S17 and subsequent steps are executed.

  Returning to step S4, if the first mode is selected (YES in step S4), the lock release key 5420 is pushed (YES in step S7), and then the seating 35 positioned at the home position U0 is selected. The lock by the slide motor 381 is released by the control signal from the control signal output unit 615, and the seat 35 can be freely moved back and forth (step S8).

  When the up key 5447 is pressed in this state (YES in step S9), the foot plate 42 is raised while rotating by a predetermined amount by driving the lifting / lowering motor 44 by the control signal from the control signal output unit 615 (step S91). ). If the down key 5422 is pressed (YES in step S10), the foot plate 42 is lowered while rotating by a predetermined amount (step S101). When each key is pushed a plurality of times, the predetermined amount is rotated and moved from the position of the foot plate 42 immediately before the push button. By this rotational movement, the position of the foot plate 42 is moved. That is, the exerciser M adjusts the foot plate 42 to a position that is considered optimal for him / her by these key operations.

  Thereafter, when the confirm key 5441 is pressed, the position of the foot plate 42 is confirmed (YES in step S102). When the enter key 5441 is not pressed, the state where the up key 5447 or the down key 5422 can be input, that is, the state where the position of the foot plate 42 can be adjusted is continued (NO in step S102).

  When the start key 5423 is pressed after the confirm key 5441 is pressed, training is started (YES in step S11).

  When training starts, a preset standard value of electric power is supplied to the sliding motor 381, and the driving of the sliding motor 381 to move the seating 35 forward thereby causes the sliding motor 381 to drive the seating 35. A straddle load is applied (step S12). The straddle load in step 12 is a standard load in the present embodiment, but may be configured such that the strength and specific load amount can be set by the operation unit 542. In this state, the athlete M flexes and stretches the knee against the load of the slide motor 381, and when the seat 35 is released when the seat 35 reaches the rear position U2, the seat 35 is pushed back. . The exerciser M performs training for moving the seat 35 forward and backward by repeating this operation.

  When the end key 5424 is pressed by the exerciser M (YES in step S13), the seat 35 returns to the home position U0 and is locked (step S26).

  Further, it is determined whether or not the power switch 543 is turned off in step S27. When the power switch 543 is not turned off (NO in step S27), the flow skips to step S2 and the flow moves to the next exerciser M. On the other hand, when the power switch 543 is turned off (YES in step S27), the control ends.

  Next, the description returns to step S5. When the second mode is selected in step S5 (YES in step S5), weight information is input by pressing the weight key 5443 and the numeric key 544 (step S14). YES) Thereafter, the weight information is confirmed by pressing the confirmation key 5441 (step S141). As a result, a load corresponding to the weight of the exerciser M is applied to the seating 35 in the forward direction (step S15).

  In the second mode, the magnitude of the load to be applied to the seat 35 is set based on the weight data in the body information. More preferably, the height data may be referred to. This is because, as described above, it is considered that the body of a tall person is more likely to extend backward than a small person. Therefore, if the load applied to the front is increased as the height is increased, a finer response can be made in accordance with individual athletes.

  Returning to the flowchart, it is then determined whether or not the lock release key 5420 has been pressed (step S16).

  If lock release key 5420 is pressed (YES in step S16), the process skips to step S8, and thereafter the same processing as in the first mode is executed.

  Finally, the description returns to step S6, and when the third mode is set in step S6 (YES in step S6), unlike the first and second modes, according to the physical information of the exerciser M It is characterized in that each position of the seating 35 is automatically set. That is, by driving the slide motor 381, the seat 35 is forcibly moved from the initial home position U0 to the front position U1 set according to the physical information of the athlete M, and the physical information of the athlete M is also the same. The exerciser M is trained between the rear position U2 set according to the above. Hereinafter, it will be specifically described with reference to a flowchart.

  If the third mode is selected (YES in step S6), it is determined in step S17 whether physical information has been input. Actually, the exerciser M sitting on the seat 35 inputs his / her physical information from the operation unit 542. Then, when the enter key 5441 is pressed after the physical information is input, the input of the physical information is determined. As a result, the positions of the front position U1 and the rear position U2 are set according to the physical information (step S18).

  In step S19, it is determined whether or not the lock release key 5420 has been pressed. When the button is pressed (YES in step S19), the lock by the slide motor 381 is released (step S20).

  When the up key 5447 is pressed in this state (step S21), the foot plate 42 is raised while being rotated by a predetermined amount by the driving of the lifting motor 44 by the control signal from the control signal output unit 615 (step S211). When the down key 5422 is pressed (step S22), the foot plate 42 is lowered while rotating by a predetermined amount (step S221). When each key is pushed a plurality of times, the predetermined amount is rotated and moved from the position of the foot plate 42 immediately before the push button. By this rotational movement, the position of the foot plate 42 is moved. That is, the exerciser adjusts the foot plate 42 to the position that is considered optimal for him / her by these key operations.

  Thereafter, when the confirm key 5441 is pressed, the position of the foot plate 42 is confirmed (YES in step S222). When the enter key 5441 is not pressed, the state where the up key 5447 or the down key 5422 can be input, that is, the state where the position of the foot plate 42 can be adjusted is continued (NO in step S222).

  When the enter key 5441 is pressed, in this third mode, the seat 35 is automatically moved from the home position U0 to the front position U1 where training is started based on the input physical information (step S23). Thereafter, when start key 5423 is pressed, training is started (YES in step S24). Here, the rear position U2 of the seating seat 35 is also set based on the input physical information, and is not necessarily moved to the mechanically movable rear end portion of the apparatus.

  In step S25, it is determined whether or not a training time set in advance based on the physical information of the exerciser M has elapsed. If the training time has elapsed (YES in step S25), the seating 35 is set to the home position. After returning to U0, it is locked by the slide motor 381 (step S26), and it is subsequently determined whether or not the power switch 543 is turned off (step S27).

  As described above in detail, the training apparatus 10 according to the present invention includes the seating portion 30 including the seat 35 on which the athlete M sits, and the foot on which the athlete M seated on the seat 35 abuts the sole. A moving mechanism 38 that applies to the athlete M a load that resists the tension force generated by the athlete M sitting on the plate 42 and the seat 35 and having his soles in contact with the foot plate 42. Are mounted on the base board 20, and the foot plate 42 has a horizontal posture T1 projecting substantially horizontally outward from a pair of footrest frames 41 provided on the base board 20, and The posture can be changed between a vertical posture T <b> 2 protruding substantially vertically upward from the footrest frame 41 at a height level substantially equal to the seating level of the seat 35.

  According to such a configuration, the exerciser M makes the sole contact with the foot plate 42 set in the vertical posture T2 while sitting on the seat 35 provided on the base board 20, and steps the foot. Since the load against the struts is given to the athlete M by the moving mechanism unit 38, the legs and hips can be trained by repeating such struts.

  The foot plate 42 has a horizontal posture T1 that protrudes substantially horizontally from the lower part of the base board 20 to the outside, and is substantially vertical upward from the upper part of the base board 20 at a height level substantially equal to the seating level. Therefore, when the athlete M gets into the seat 35 of the seat portion 30, the foot plate 42 is set to the horizontal position T1, thereby setting the seat. The front space of 35 is a free space where there is no obstacle to seating. Therefore, not only when the exerciser M is a healthy person, but also for an elderly person, etc. It is possible to sit very easily on the seat 35 as a step or as it is. Further, since there is no obstacle in front of the seating 35, the wheelchair can be laid in front of the seating 35, so even an athlete M who normally uses the wheelchair falls down. It is possible to easily transfer from the wheelchair to the seating seat 35 without paying special attention to dropping off. Further, when a caregiver is accompanied by an exerciser M who uses such a wheelchair, the caregiver's labor can be greatly reduced.

  Then, after the athlete M is seated on the seat 35 with the foot plate 42 set in the horizontal attitude T1, the knee of the athlete M is bent by changing the attitude of the foot plate 42 to the vertical attitude T2. The exercise can be started.

  Further, a displacement mechanism 43 that changes the posture of the foot plate 42 between the horizontal posture T1 and the vertical posture T2 is provided, and the displacement mechanism 43 is located with respect to the footrest frame 41 erected on the base board 20. The plate support arm 423 rotates around the support shaft 424 to support the foot plate 42 so that the posture can be changed, and the driving force transmission mechanism 45 rotates the plate support arm 423 around the support shaft 424. ing.

  With this configuration, the foot plate 42 can be easily changed in posture between the horizontal posture T <b> 1 and the vertical posture T <b> 2 by driving the displacement mechanism unit 43. The displacement mechanism 43 rotates around a support shaft 424 provided on the base board 20 to support the foot plate 42 so that the posture can be changed, and this plate support arm 423 rotates around the support shaft 424. And the driving force transmission mechanism 45 for rotating the foot support plate 42 with a simple operation of rotating the plate support arm 423 about the support shaft 424 in the forward and reverse directions by driving the driving force transmission mechanism 45. The posture of the foot plate 42 can be surely changed while the structure of the displacement mechanism portion 43 is simplified and the manufacturing cost is reduced.

  The seat 35 includes a front position U1 approaching the foot plate 42 by the pressing force of the slide motor 381 serving as a load applying portion, and a slide motor 381 when the athlete M sitting on the seat 35 steps on his / her foot. The position can be changed with respect to the rear position U2 spaced from the foot plate 42 against the pressing force. When the athlete M sitting on the seat 35 steps on his / her foot with the foot plate 42 in contact with the sole, the foot plate 42 and the seat 35 have a distance between the slide motor 381 and the distance between them. The rear plate is positioned at the rear position U2 against the pressing force by driving, while the foot plate 42 and the seat 35 are moved closer to each other by the pressing force of the slide motor 381 by eliminating the foot struts. The position is set to the front position U1. In this way, the exerciser M can train his / her legs and legs by repeating the foot stroking motion.

  Further, since the backrest 36 is provided at the rear part of the seat 35, the athlete M seated on the seat 35 due to the presence of the backrest 36 pushes the foot in contact with the foot plate 42 more strongly. It becomes possible, and the training effect of the legs can be improved. Since the tilt angle of the backrest 36 is variable, the backrest 36 can be set to an angle according to the demand of the athlete M by adjusting the tilt angle of the backrest 36.

  In the training apparatus 10, a control unit 60 that controls the pressing force of the slide motor 381 and an operation unit 542 that inputs physical information of the exerciser M are provided. The control unit 60 is input from the operation unit 542. The pressing force is set based on the physical information of the exerciser M, and the sliding motor 381 is controlled so as to press the seat 35 toward the sliding motor 381 with the pressing force suitable for the physical strength of the exerciser M. Therefore, the exerciser M can execute training in an appropriate state without difficulty.
