Abstract

A treadmill according to the present invention controls acceleration of a belt depending on the location of a user to automatically control transfer speed of the belt while a user is exercising, to improve use convenience and safety. In addition, since the belt speed is controlled in accordance with the speed of the user, the user does not exercise in accordance with the belt speed, but enjoys the fun of exercise by controlling the speed with the treadmill like the user does in the gym. Further, when the walking or running speed of the user is suddenly reduced, the location of the user is located in a speed reduction location sensing range to automatically reduce the belt speed to prevent the user from an accident of being fallen from the belt.

Description

[0001] Treadmill and control method thereof [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a treadmill, and more particularly, to a treadmill for automatically controlling a conveying speed of a belt by sensing a position of a user and a control method thereof.

Typically, the treadmill drives the belt in accordance with the set speed set by the user to move the belt at a constant speed so that the user can move at a set speed. In this case, if the user wishes to drive at a different speed, the user must manually change the set speed to reset.

Also, in the case of walking and / or traveling on a belt moving at a constant speed, there may be a case where the user suddenly moves at a higher speed or moves at a slower speed. However, in the conventional treadmill, the conveyance speed of the belt must be reset without satisfying the intention of the user.

In the case of a novice user or a user traveling at high speed, it is difficult to change the conveying speed of the belt while maintaining the walking and / or running, and the conveying speed may be changed so that the balance is lost or the speed of the belt is not adjusted. There is a problem to wear.

In addition, when a user who is physically uncomfortable, such as an elderly person or a sick person, is used, sudden walking and / or running at a set speed may not be possible. In this case, there is a problem that the user can not adjust to the speed of the belt, resulting in injury.

Korean Patent No. 10-0938922 discloses a treadmill system and a driving method thereof.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a tread mill for controlling a belt conveyance speed by sensing a position of a user and a control method thereof.

A treadmill according to the present invention includes: a position sensing unit having a belt on which a user stands and a non-contact type electrostatic capacity sensor for sensing a position of a user; and a controller for controlling the acceleration of the belt according to a position of the user sensed by the position sensing unit. And a control unit for controlling the control unit.

A control method of a treadmill according to the present invention includes a belt driving step of driving a belt in accordance with an input speed inputted by a user, a position sensing step of sensing a position of a user on the belt, And a belt speed control step of controlling acceleration.

The treadmill according to the present invention can control the acceleration of the belt according to the position of the user so that the conveying speed of the belt is automatically controlled while the user is exercising to improve the usability and safety.

Also, since the speed of the belt can be controlled according to the user's speed rather than the speed of the user in accordance with the speed of the belt, the treadmill can provide the user with the freedom to exercise and adjust the speed as in the playground.

In addition, when the user's walking or running speed suddenly decreases, the position of the user is located in the decelerating position sensing section, and the speed of the belt is automatically decelerated, so that an accident that the user falls or falls on the belt can be prevented.

Further, by using the non-contact type sensor, the impact caused by the user's walking or running is not directly transmitted to the sensor itself, so that the durability and reliability of the product can be improved.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view of a tread mill 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a side view of the tread mill 10 shown in Fig. Fig. 3 is a view showing a state in which a non-contact type capacitive sensor is attached in the tread mill 10 of Fig.

Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the tread mill 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a belt 12, a position sensing unit 45, and a control unit 60.

The belt 12 is driven and transported in accordance with the input speed first inputted by the user. The belt (12) is mounted on a belt support (16) provided within the tread bed (14). The belt 12 is driven by a drive motor 30 installed in the tread bed 14.

The belt support portion 16 is formed in a plate shape elongated in the conveying direction of the belt 12 and supports the belt 12 so as to be linearly movable.

The position sensing unit 45 may include a plurality of position sensing zones that are defined by the belt support unit 16 at predetermined intervals along the conveying direction of the belt 12, And a non-contact type capacitive sensor 40 for sensing a position.

The plurality of position sensing sections may include a constant velocity position sensing section C positioned in a predetermined reference range in the longitudinal direction at the center of the belt supporting section 16 and a constant velocity position sensing section C in front of the constant velocity position sensing section C And a deceleration position sensing section D located behind the constant velocity position sensing section C in the direction of travel of the user. The constant velocity position sensing section C is a reference range in which the user normally stands when the user exercises on the belt 12. [ The acceleration position sensing section A corresponds to the constant velocity position sensing section C in front. The deceleration position sensing section D corresponds to the rear of the constant velocity position sensing section C. [ In the present embodiment, the plurality of position sensing sections are divided into three sections. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and may be divided into a plurality of sections in the forward and backward directions on the basis of the constant velocity position sensing section C It is possible.

3, the non-contact type electrostatic capacity sensor 40 is installed in the belt supporting portion 16. [ The non-contact type electrostatic capacity sensor 40 is disposed to be spaced apart from the belt 12, which is in direct contact with the user, because the non-contact type electrostatic capacity sensor 40 is implemented in a non-contact manner. The non-contact type electrostatic capacity sensor 40 may be disposed on the upper surface supporting the belt 12 on the belt supporting portion 16 or on the lower surface which is the opposite surface. When the belt supporting part 16 is installed on the upper surface of the belt supporting part 16, a groove part is formed on the upper surface of the belt supporting part 16 so as to be spaced from the belt 12. The non-contact type electrostatic capacity sensor 40 have. In this embodiment, the belt supporting portion 16 is provided in a groove formed on the lower surface of the belt supporting portion 16, for example, as described above. The non-contact type capacitive sensor 40 recognizes that the user's feet are in proximity to or contact with the belt 12. [

The non-contact type electrostatic capacity sensor 40 includes an acceleration position sensing sensor 41 provided in the acceleration position sensing section A and a deceleration position sensing sensor 42 provided in the deceleration position sensing section D. In the present embodiment, the non-contact type electrostatic capacity sensor 40 is provided only in the acceleration position sensing section A and the deceleration position sensing section D. However, the present invention is not limited to this, It is of course possible to be provided in the section C as well.

A plurality of acceleration position sensing sensors 41 are disposed at predetermined intervals along the conveying direction of the belt 12. [ In the present embodiment, four acceleration position sensors 41 are provided. The number of the acceleration position detection sensors 41 is

A plurality of the deceleration position detecting sensors 42 are disposed at predetermined intervals along the conveying direction of the belt 12. In the present embodiment, the number of the deceleration position detection sensors 42 is four, for example.

In Fig. 4, an example of the non-contact type capacitance sensor 40 is shown. FIG. 5 is a graph showing a tendency that capacitance changes according to the distance between the electrodes 40a and 40b in the non-contact type capacitive sensor 40 shown in FIG. In Fig. 5, C is a capacitance, and d represents a distance between the electrode plates.

Referring to FIG. 4, the non-contact type electrostatic capacitance sensor 40 is a sensor that uses a property of changing the electrostatic capacity according to the distance and the area between the electrodes corresponding to the two charged conductors. The non-contact type electrostatic capacitance sensor 40 includes a first electrode 40a, a second electrode 40b, and a dielectric layer. The first electrode 40a is attached to the belt support 16 and may have one polarity. The second electrode 40b may be attached to the belt support 16 and have the other polarity. For example, the first electrode 40a may be an anode and the second electrode 40b may be connected to a ground. The dielectric layer is between the first electrode 40a and the second electrode 40b, and a plurality of dielectrics may be interposed in the dielectric layer. The dielectric may comprise at least one or more of the user's body, shoes, belts and belt support 16. [ For example, the human body, shoes, belts and the belt support 16 may be dielectrics. The belt support 16 is made of non-conductive material so that it can act as a dielectric. The belt 12 and the belt support 16 may form a basic dielectric layer. In this case, the non-contact type electrostatic capacitance sensor 40 includes the first electrode 40a, the second electrode 40b, the dielectric layer including the belt 12 and the belt supporting portion 16. However, depending on the use conditions of the non-contact type electrostatic capacity sensor 40, the user's body, sock, shoes, etc. may serve as additional dielectrics.

The non-contact type electrostatic capacitance sensor 40 is disposed between the first electrode 40a and the second electrode 40b in a dielectric environment between the first electrode 40a and the second electrode 40b, The electrostatic capacity can be changed according to the relationship such as Equation (1) according to the distance and area of the electrode 40b. Where C is the capacitance,? 0 is the vacuum permittivity,? R is the relative permittivity, S is the area, and d is the distance between the electrodes.

Figure pat00001

In the tread mill 10, the second electrode 40b may be a conductive electrode having a predetermined area, and the first electrode 40a may be an electrode connected to the ground. The first electrode 40a and the second electrode 40b may be interchanged depending on the circuit configuration. Referring to FIG. 4, if the capacitance C measured with the C1 value as the threshold value is greater than C1, the set voltage can be outputted. Since the dielectric environment includes the belt support 16, the belt, the shoe, the air, and the like to which the sensor is attached, d1 is the thickness of the belt supporting portion 16, the belt, It can be distance. The greater the area of the conductor electrode, the larger the space formed by the distance d1. Therefore, if the desired d1 is determined, the area of the conductor electrode can be determined so as to have the capacitance of C1 at the distance d1. At this time, various methods for determining the area of the conductive electrode can be applied.

The non-contact type electrostatic capacity sensor 40 has an electrode structure as shown in FIG. 4, and the position sensing unit 45 may further include the sensor control unit 90 shown in FIG. 6 to be a capacitive sensor module. The capacitive sensor module senses that a human body is approaching from an input signal input through electrode terminals, and outputs a set output voltage for each of a case where the human body is proximate to the human body and a case where the human body is not sensed. For example, when the human body is not approaching, the first voltage near the ground is outputted, and when the human body is approaching, the set second voltage (VCC in FIG. 6) may be outputted.

Referring to FIG. 6, the capacitance sensor module includes the first electrode terminal 43, the output terminal 44, and the sensor control unit 90. The first electrode terminal 43 is connected to the first electrode 40a of the anode. An output voltage set according to the proximity of the human body through the output terminal 44 is outputted. The sensor control unit 90 outputs an output signal according to an input signal input through the first electrode terminal 43. The output signal may be an input signal of a switching element, for example, a transistor. The first electrode 40a connected to the first electrode terminal 43 and the ground connected to the ground terminal GND form a capacitor. The capacitance of the capacitor varies depending on the proximity of the human body, The signal input through the input terminal CS can be changed. For example, since the human body is brought close to the body, the capacitance of the capacitor changes due to the change of the dielectric, thereby changing the impedance applied to both terminals of the sensor, and the voltage input through the input terminal CS may be changed. When a part of the human body comes close to the first electrode terminal 43, the output signal becomes a signal to turn on the switching element, so that the output voltage VCC set through the output terminal 44 becomes the output . Accordingly, it is possible to detect that the human body is approaching the sensor, thereby sensing a part of the human body, for example, the position of the foot. At this time, the sensitivity of the input signal inputted through the input terminal CS can be adjusted by the capacitance of the capacitor SC2.

The tread mill 10 further includes side footrests 20 provided on both sides of the belt 12 on which the user can put his or her feet. The side footrest 20 may be integrally formed with the tread bed 14, or may be separately formed.

The tread mill 10 is configured such that positions corresponding to the acceleration position sensing section A, the constant velocity position sensing section C and the deceleration position sensing section D are differentiated from each other in the side footrest 20 And display means for displaying the information. The display means may include colors, characters, symbols, and the like. In the present embodiment, the display means is a hue, for example. That is, the first side footrest 21 corresponding to the acceleration position sensing section A in the side footrest 20, the second side footrest 23 corresponding to the constant speed position sensing section C, The third side footrest 22 corresponding to the deceleration position sensing section D is painted in different colors so that the user is notified of the acceleration position sensing section A, the constant speed position sensing section C and the deceleration position sensing section D ) Can be recognized.

The tread mill 10 further includes an input unit 32 and a display unit 30.

The input unit 32 is a device for the user to select various functions and input a target speed or the like. The input unit 32 may include a button, a touch panel implemented on the display unit 30, and the like. Also, the input unit 32 may recognize the operation of the user or recognize the voice.

The display unit 30 includes an input unit 32 for allowing the user to select various functions and input a target speed and the like, and an input unit 32 for displaying the input contents, the input speed, the current speed of the belt 12, do.

The display unit 30 also displays the current position of the user detected by the position sensing unit 45 by a character or a graph. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the display unit 30 may be provided with a buzzer or a speaker for notifying the user of the change in position.

The control unit 60 controls the operation of the motor 50 according to the position of the user sensed by the position sensing unit 45 to control the acceleration of the belt 12. [ The control unit 60 includes an input unit for receiving a start signal, a sensor signal, and an emergency stop, an operation unit for calculating a control value according to a predetermined procedure and calculation formula from the input signal, and an output unit for outputting a control signal and a communication signal do.

A control method of the treadmill constructed as described above will now be described.

8, a user first hits the tread mill 10, and then inputs a feed speed of the belt 12 desired by the user using the input unit 32. (S1)

When the conveying speed of the belt 12 is inputted, the controller 60 controls the motor 50 to drive the belt 12. [ (S2)

When the belt 12 is transported, the user moves on the belt 12 while walking or traveling. (S3)

When the user starts the movement, the position sensing unit 45 senses the position of the user in real time.

The controller 60 can not detect the change in capacitance in the non-contact capacitance sensor 40 when the user moves in the constant velocity position sensing section C, And the constant speed of the motor 50 is maintained. When the motor 50 is driven at a constant speed, the belt 12 also maintains a constant speed. When the user is located in the constant speed position sensing section C, the conveyance speed of the belt 12 is suitable for the user's walking or traveling speed, Lt; / RTI >

On the other hand, when the user approaches the acceleration position sensing section A, the acceleration position sensing sensor 41 senses a change in capacitance. In the case where the user is located in the acceleration position sensing section A, when the user's walking or running speed is relatively higher than the conveying speed of the belt 12 and the user's foot touches the acceleration position sensing section A And includes a case where the user intentionally steps on the acceleration position sensing section A or approaches the foot to increase the conveying speed of the belt 12. [ (S6)

When the user intentionally depresses the acceleration position sensing section A or approaches the human body to the accelerating position sensing section A, the user can see the color of the side footrest 20 and see the acceleration position sensing section A, So that the foot can be brought close to the belt 12 corresponding to the acceleration position sensing period A. In addition, since the position of the user is displayed on the display unit 30, the user can recognize the position of the user without looking at the side footrest 20.

When the user approaches the acceleration position sensing section A and a change in capacitance is detected in the acceleration position sensing sensor 41, the controller 60 increases the driving speed of the motor 50, It is possible to accelerate the conveying speed of the conveying belt 12 in accordance with the change in the running speed or the demand of the user. (S7)

On the other hand, when the user approaches the deceleration position sensing section D, the deceleration position sensing sensor 42 senses a capacitance change. In the case where the user is located in the deceleration position sensing section D, when the user's walking or running speed is relatively slower than the conveying speed of the belt 12 and the user's foot depresses the deceleration position sensing section D And includes a case where the user intentionally steps on the deceleration position sensing section D or approaches the foot to decelerate the conveying speed of the belt 12. [ (S8)

When the user intentionally depresses the deceleration position sensing section D or approaches the human body to the deceleration position sensing section D, the user looks at the color of the side scaffold 20 to see the deceleration position sensing section D, The user can step on the belt 12 corresponding to the deceleration position sensing section D or approach the foot. In addition, since the position of the user is displayed on the display unit 30, the user can recognize the position of the user without looking at the side footrest 20.

When the user approaches the decelerating position sensing section D and the electrostatic capacity change is detected by the decelerating position detecting sensor 42, the controller 60 decelerates the driving speed of the motor 50, It is possible to decelerate the conveying speed of the conveying belt 12 in accordance with the traveling speed or demand of the user. (S9)

The position of the user is displayed on the display unit 30, and the conveying speed of the belt 12 accelerated or decelerated is also displayed. (S10)

While the user continues the motion, the position sensing unit 45 continuously senses the position of the user and automatically controls the conveying speed of the belt 12 according to the position of the user.

Meanwhile, when a stop signal is inputted by the user's input, the control unit 60 stops driving the motor 50. (S11) (12)

As described above, since the conveying speed of the belt 12 can be accelerated or decelerated depending on the user's position, the user can operate the input unit 32 to adjust the conveying speed of the belt 12 So that the usability can be improved. In addition, since an accident that may occur when the user operates the input unit 32 while being exercised can be prevented, safety can be secured.

Further, by using the non-contact type sensor, the impact caused by the user's walking or running is not directly transmitted to the sensor itself, so that the durability and reliability of the product can be improved.
