Description

런닝머신{Running machine}Running machine

본 발명은 런닝머신에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는 달리기 운동 시 가해지는 충격을 흡수하는 구조로 이루어짐으로써 고령자 및 관절이 약한 사람에게 적합한 런닝머신에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a treadmill, and more particularly to a treadmill suitable for the elderly and people with weak joints by being made of a structure that absorbs the shock applied during the running exercise.

일반적으로 런닝머신은 실내에서 달리기 내지는 걷기 운동을 할 수 있도록 하는 운동기구로서, 도 1에 나타난 것과 같이 런닝벨트(10)와, 상기 런닝벨트(10)를 움직이는 구동장치와, 상기 구동장치를 제어하는 제어수단을 포함하여 이루어지는데, 상기 구동장치는 런닝벨트(10)를 지지하는 다수개의 롤러(12) 및 상기 롤러(12)를 구동시키는 모터(14)로 이루어지며, 제어수단은 모터(14)와 연계되는 콘트롤 패널(16)로 이루어져 있다.In general, the treadmill is an exercise device for running or walking indoors, as shown in FIG. 1, the driving belt 10, a driving device for moving the running belt 10, and controlling the driving device. It comprises a control means for the drive device comprises a plurality of rollers 12 for supporting the running belt 10 and the motor 14 for driving the roller 12, the control means is a motor 14 It is composed of a control panel (16) associated with.

따라서, 이러한 종래의 런닝머신에 의하면 사용자가 콘트롤 패널(16)을 통해 모터(14)를 작동시킴으로써 런닝벨트(10)가 움직이도록 한 다음, 런닝벨트(10) 위에 올라가 런닝벨트(10)의 구동 속도에 맞게 걷거나 뜀으로써 운동효과를 얻게 된다.Therefore, according to the conventional treadmill, the user moves the running belt 10 by operating the motor 14 through the control panel 16, and then climbs on the running belt 10 to drive the running belt 10. By walking or jumping at your own pace, you gain a workout.

달리기 운동을 하게 되면 호흡기 강화 및 체중감량 등의 효과을 얻게 되나, 운동특성상 발목이나 무릎 등의 관절에 많은 충격을 받게 됨으로써 관절에 통증을 느끼게 되고, 심할 경우에는 부상을 입게 되는데, 이러한 충격은 노면에 따라 크게 달라진다.If you exercise, you will get respiratory strengthening and weight loss effects, but due to the nature of your exercise, you will feel a lot of impact on your joints, such as your ankles and knees, and you will feel pain in your joints. It depends greatly.

즉, 해변가의 모래사장이나 잔디밭에서는 지면의 특성상 충격을 적게 받게 되므로 달리기에 적합하고, 아스팔트 도로와 같은 곳에서는 많은 충격을 받게 된다.In other words, the sand beach or lawn on the beach is less impact on the nature of the ground, so it is suitable for running, and such as asphalt road is a lot of impact.

한편, 종래의 런닝머신을 이용하여 달리기 운동을 할 때에는 대개 고무재질로 이루어진 런닝벨트(10)의 재질적인 특성 및 롤러(12)에 의한 상기 런닝벨트(10)의 지지구조상 약간의 충격흡수 작용이 이루어지기 때문에 충격완화 측면에서는 일반 도로에서 달리는 것 보다 충격을 덜 받게 되지만, 노약자나 관절이 약한 사람이 관절의 무리없이 달리기 운동을 하기에는 부적합하다고 볼 수 있다.On the other hand, when performing a running exercise using a conventional treadmill, the shock absorbing effect is due to the material characteristics of the running belt 10 made of a rubber material and the supporting structure of the running belt 10 by the roller 12. Because it is made in terms of shock mitigation is less impact than running on a normal road, but the elderly or people with weak joints can be considered unsuitable for running without a lot of joints.

따라서, 이와 같은 종래의 런닝머신에 의하면 노약자나 관절이 약한 사람은 관절에 크게 무리가 가해지지 않는 가벼운 걷기운동 정도 밖에는 할 수 없기 때문에 효율적인 사용이 어렵다는 문제점이 발생한다.Therefore, according to such a conventional treadmill, the elderly and the weak joints have a problem that it is difficult to use efficiently because only a light walking exercise that does not greatly affect the joint.

본 발명은 상술한 바와 같은 종래기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 안출된 것으로서, 충격완화구조의 런닝벨트가 적용됨으로써 노약자나 관절이 약한 사람도 안전하게 달리기 운동을 할 수 있도록 하는 런닝머신의 제공을 목적으로 한다.The present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the object of the present invention is to provide a treadmill that can be safely run for the elderly or people with weak joints by applying a running belt of impact relief structure. do.

상기 목적을 달성하기 위한 본 발명에 따른 런닝머신은 런닝벨트와, 상기 런닝벨트를 지지하는 다수개의 롤러 및 상기 롤러를 회전작동 시키는 모터로 구성된 구동장치와, 상기 런닝벨트에 대해 완충작용을 수행함과 동시에 다양한 노면질감을 표현할 수 있는 완충수단을 포함하여 이루어진다.The treadmill according to the present invention for achieving the above object is a driving device composed of a running belt, a plurality of rollers supporting the running belt and a motor for rotating the roller, and performing a buffering action on the running belt; At the same time it comprises a buffer means that can express a variety of road texture.

여기서, 상기 완충수단은 런닝벨트의 표면에 부착되는 완충패드와, 상기 완충패드에 주입되는 물, 공기, 모래 등의 완충재로 이루어진다.Here, the buffer means is a buffer pad attached to the surface of the running belt, and a buffer material such as water, air, sand injected into the buffer pad.

이하, 본 발명의 실시예를 첨부된 도 2와 도 3을 참조로 하여 상세하게 설명한다.Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

본 발명의 실시예에 따른 런닝머신은 도 2에 나타난 것과 같이 런닝벨트(10)와, 상기 런닝벨트(10)를 지지하는 다수개의 롤러(12) 및 상기 롤러(12)를 회전작동 시키는 모터(14)로 구성된 구동장치와, 상기 런닝벨트(10)에 대해 완충작용을 수행함과 동시에 다양한 노면질감을 표현할 수 있는 완충수단을 포함하여 이루어진다.As shown in FIG. 2, the treadmill according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a running belt 10, a plurality of rollers 12 supporting the running belt 10, and a motor for rotating the roller 12. 14) and a shock absorbing means capable of expressing various road textures at the same time performing a buffering action on the running belt (10).

상기 완충수단은 도 3에 나타난 것과 같이 런닝벨트(10)의 표면에 부착되는 완충패드(20)와, 상기 완충패드(20)에 주입되는 완충재(22)로 이루어지는데, 상기 완충패드(20)는 완충재(22)의 질감이 제대로 전달되도록 탄력성 있는 튜브형태로 이루어지며, 완충재(22)로서는 물, 공기, 모래 등의 다양한 재료가 사용된다.The buffer means is composed of a buffer pad 20 attached to the surface of the running belt 10, as shown in Figure 3, and the buffer material 22 is injected into the buffer pad 20, the buffer pad 20 Is made of a flexible tube form so that the texture of the cushioning material 22 is properly transmitted, the buffer material 22 is used a variety of materials such as water, air, sand.

상술한 바와 같은 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 런닝머신은 완충패드(20)에 완충재(22)를 주입하여 탄성력을 부여하고, 상기 완충패드(20)를 런닝벨트(10)에 부착한 상태에서 사용하게 되는데, 이와 같이 하면 사용자가 달릴 때 가해지는 충격이 완충패드(20) 및 완충재(22)에 흡수된다.The treadmill according to the embodiment of the present invention as described above is used in a state in which the buffer pad 20 is injected into the cushioning pad 20 to impart elastic force, and the buffer pad 20 is attached to the running belt 10. In this case, the shock applied when the user runs is absorbed by the shock absorbing pad 20 and the shock absorbing material 22.

따라서, 본 실시예에 따른 런닝머신을 이용하면 관절에 큰 무리가 가지 않기 때문에 노약자나 관절이 약한 사람도 부상의 위험없이 안전하게 달리기 운동을 할 수 있게 된다.Therefore, when the treadmill according to the present embodiment does not have a large crowd on the joints, the elderly and the weak joints can safely run without risk of injury.

또한, 본 실시예에 따르면 완충재(22)를 달리함으로써 다양한 질감을 느낄 수 있게 된다. 즉, 모래를 완충재(22)로 사용하여 완충패드(20)에 주입하면 모래사장을 달리는 것과 같은 효과를 얻을 수 있으며, 물이나 공기를 완충패드(20)에 주입하면 물이나 공기의 특성에 따른 독특한 질감과 완충효과를 얻을 수 있게 된다. 그러므로, 각기 다른 완충재(22)가 주입된 여러개의 완충패드(20)를 구비하여 교체사용함으로써 다양한 노면 조건에서 달리기를 할 수 있게 된다.In addition, according to the present embodiment it is possible to feel a variety of texture by changing the buffer material (22). That is, when sand is used as a buffer material 22 and injected into the buffer pad 20, the same effect as running on a sandy beach can be obtained. When water or air is injected into the buffer pad 20 according to the characteristics of water or air Unique texture and cushioning effect can be obtained. Therefore, it is possible to run in a variety of road conditions by using a number of buffer pads 20, each of which is injected with a different buffer material 22 is replaced.

이상에서 설명한 바와 같이 본 발명에 따른 런닝머신에 의하면 사용자가 달리기를 하면서 받게 되는 충격이 완충수단에 의해 흡수됨으로써 노약자나 관절이 약한 사람도 관절에 무리없이 달리기 운동을 할 수 있으며, 완충수단의 완충재를 달리 적용함으로써 다양한 노면 조건을 형성할 수 있는 등, 달리기 운동을 보다 안전하고 흥미롭게 할 수 있다는 이점이 있다.As described above, according to the treadmill according to the present invention, the shock that the user receives while running is absorbed by the shock absorbing means, so that the elderly or the weak joint can exercise without difficulty in the joint, and the cushioning means of the shock absorbing means. By applying differently, it is possible to form various road conditions, such that there is an advantage that the running exercise can be made safer and more interesting.
