The resistance module 4 has a built-in regenerative resistance of resistance generation that consumes power of the load generation unit 21 to achieve rapid braking, and at least one cooling fan that prevents overheating of the regenerative resistance. It is desirable to form a box structure for isolation of generated noise.

Unexplained reference numerals, (M-1) denotes a general muscular exercise equipment necessary for performing muscular exercise, and (M-2) denotes an exercise load device according to the present invention and a combination of the muscular exercise equipment. It is one weight machine, and (S) is the touch screen for user control of the control box and output of exercise information by being installed at a predetermined position of the frame body or the strength exercise device frame.

When explaining in detail the action of the smart exercise load device (A) for a strength exercise device according to the present invention having the configuration as described above is as follows.

First of all, the present invention can be used in combination with various strength exercise devices (including plate rod type) such as rat pull down, total rack, pact fly, shoulder press, chest press, lying leg curl, etc., shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. It forms a variety of combinations as described, and thereby one weight machine (M) can be completed.

Here, it is electrically connected to the control box 3 so that user control of the control box 3 is possible, and user exercise information is displayed according to the operation information of the weight attachment 2 through the control box 3. ) Of the touch screen (S) may be provided and coupled to a predetermined position of the muscle strength exercise device (M-1) or may be provided and coupled to a predetermined position of the frame body (1).

After that, it is possible to perform strength exercise using the weight machine (M). Prior to that, by operating the control box 3, an appropriate exercise environment such as the desired exercise intensity and the number of exercises (and the number of sets) can be set. Set.

In this state, the user sits on the bench of the strength exercise device S, grabs the lateral bar with both hands, and performs strength exercises that repeat actions such as pulling down or pushing up the lateral bar. However, when the lateral bar of the muscle strength exercise device (S) is manipulated in this way, the wire rope (W) connected to the lateral bar is pulled, and the load generation unit of the weight attachment (2) to the wire rope (W) thus pulled. As the exercise load generated in (21) is transmitted, in the end, the user can achieve the same exercise effect as lifting a heavy weight.

In addition, the entire user exercise information as described above is collected in the control box 3, which consists of acquiring driving information of the load generating unit 21 that repeats starting and stopping by the action of the wire rope (W). , In addition, as the tension formed in the wire rope (W) is detected by the load cell 24 of the weight attachment (2) when the wire rope (W) is pulled, the exercise load amount is identified and the exercise load amount is adjusted through this. This is possible.

Here, the load capacity of the load generating unit 21 can be variously set in the range of 5kg to 100kg, the unit weight can be changed up to 1kg, and the load can be changed freely even during exercise.

Subsequently, as described above, the wire rope W is unwound on the wind drum 211 of the load generating unit 21 based on the process of repeating the act of pushing up the lateral bar of the strength training device (S) ( Unwinding) and winding (winding), and the wire rope (W) is inserted into the spiral alignment groove (211-1) formed on the circumferential surface of the wind drum (211), so that the wire rope (W) can be wound in a certain alignment state. The action of the wire rope (W) will be able to be made more smoothly.

In addition, the problem of the phenomenon that the tension of the wire rope (W) is weakened due to low weight muscle strength exercise, etc., and the wire rope (W) is released from the wind drum 211 under the influence of its own stiffness, is the problem of the weight attachment (2). It can be solved by a more configured separation preventing means (26).

In detail, by continuously pressing a portion of the wire rope (W) wound on the wind drum 211 by the pressing roll 261 of the separation preventing means 26 (see FIG. 4C), the wire rope (W) is The unwinding phenomenon is prevented by maintaining an intimate state of the wind drum 211 that does not deviate from the alignment groove 211-1, and thus irregular winding of the wire rope W and damage caused by it (skin peeling off, etc.) and irregular winding The problem of lowering the feeling of movement can also be solved.

On the other hand, as described so far, exercise information throughout the strength exercise is collected by the control board of the control box 3 and then output through the touch screen 5 through the process of calculating the information, providing user exercise information. do.

In summary, according to the smart exercise load device (A) for a strength exercise device of the present invention, exercise patterns (extensive and concentrated exercise load change, etc.) and exercise through the control of the weight attachment (2) that generates exercise load By setting the intensity (such as changing the load freely during exercise) and the exercise environment (the number of exercises, the number of sets, etc.), it is possible to achieve the effect of enabling user-customized strength training.

In addition, it is possible to collect and provide information on the user's athletic ability (muscle measurement, constant velocity exercise, 1RM measurement, etc.) through the manipulation of the control box 3, and based on this, the user can set an exercise environment suitable for him/her. Effective and effective exercise results can be derived.

Along with this, it is possible to upgrade the existing general exercise equipment to a smart exercise equipment with various functions added by the achievement of modularization of the device structure as well as the exertion of compatibility that is combined with most of the strength exercise equipment. You can reap.
