The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more <RTIgt; [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 13 to 13 which form a part of the present invention.摇摆 The rocking motion device shown in Figures 2 and 3 is designed to swing the seat for the user to move forward/backward and to the left/right so that the user riding on the seat 2 can Balance training is achieved during exercise. The rocking type exercise device includes a seat 2 that mimics a horseback or a saddle in shape and has an upper f-seat surface, a drive unit 3 for causing the scale 2 to perform a rocking motion, and a body for housing the drive unit 3 in the upper portion thereof work. The generally semi-circular shaped handle 6 is attached to the front of the seat 2 at its opposite end in such a manner that the handle 6 is moved in the forward/backward direction. An operation panel 8 is also provided on the front end side of the seat 2. The castellated members 7 and 7 are suspended from the opposite side of the cymbal seat 2 near the front end of the seat 2. As you can see in Figure 5, the main body! The base frame π having a grounding leg 15 at its four corners; the struts 12 extending upward and rearward from a substantially central portion of the base frame u; attached to the struts 12 in such a manner as to be slidable in the longitudinal direction of the struts 12. a support frame 13; and an electric sliding unit for sliding the support frame 13 by electric power; the main body i further includes a bottom cover 16 for covering the upper surface of the seat frame 11, for covering the vicinity of the support 12 Cover 17 and main 200934550 cover 18 for covering the outer periphery of the support frame 13 Referring to Figure 6, the seat 2 includes a seat frame 2〇, a seat surface element attached to the upper surface of the seat frame 2〇 a cover 22 joined to the lower side of the seat frame, a pair of protective covers 23 attached to the left and right sides of the seat frame 20, and a panel cover for covering the vicinity of the operation panel 8. To.

The lamp-shaped members 7 each include a fixing member 71 fixed to a 连接-shaped connecting portion 2 形成 formed on one side of the seat _2, a connecting member 72 suspended from the fixing member π, and a slave connecting member 72 The pedals are suspended from the top. The protective covers 23 each cover the outer end of the engaging pin portion that connects the connecting member 72 with the fixing member 71, thereby preventing possible occurrence of the ride on the miscellaneous portion of the user's knee portion and the engaging pin portion. . The transfer unit 3 will now be described. Referring to FIGS. 7 to ω, the drive unit 3 includes a miscellaneous frame 3G formed in a box shape, an electric motor 31 disposed in the movable frame 3〇, and a surface disposed in the movable frame 3〇 for the output shaft 33. The gear set % of the torque of the combined transmission motor 31 is located at the movable plate 4A above the 3〇, for connecting the movable plates 4〇 and the movable connecting frame 3G to the two connecting plates 41 and 42. The gear set is used as a reduction gear for reducing the motor speed. The removable frame can be hidden at the front end and the top surface. The main shaft 130 of the bearing portion (shown in FIG. 5) is rotatably coupled to the support frame 13 so that the movable frame 3G swings in the left and right directions about the shaft 130. . The connecting plate 41, which is connected to the rear end side of the movable plate 40, is connected to the rear side surface of the movable frame 30 via the shaft 301. A rotating plate 39 200934550 is supported within the movable frame 30 by the movable frame 3 at one end and through the shaft 3〇2. The connecting plate 42 is supported at the other end of the rotating plate 39 via the shaft 3〇3. Further, the connecting plate 42 is connected to the front end of the movable plate 40 by an extendable/contractible actuator 45. The two output shafts 32 and 33 are pivotally driven, with the output shaft 32 having an eccentric portion on the outer surface of the movable _ 3G. The eccentric portion is connected to the support frame 13 via a link 35. The output shaft 33 has two portions 33a and 33b on the outer surface of the movable frame 3G. The eccentric portion 33a having a reduced eccentricity is connected to the plate 42. The eccentric portion 33b having an increased eccentricity is connected to one end of the link 36, and the other end of the link 36 is connected to the connecting plate 41. . The rotation of the eccentric portion of the output shaft 32 that is coupled to the support frame 13 by the link 35 causes the movable frame 30 to tilt about the axis 13 (extending along the longitudinal axis A) which is inclined in the forward/backward direction in FIG. ) and reciprocating rotation. The eccentric rotation of the eccentric portion 33a of the output shaft 33 causes the distal end of the movable plate © 4〇 to swing in the forward/backward and upward/downward directions by the interference of the connecting plate 42 and the extendable/contractable actuator 45. The eccentric rotation of the eccentric portion 33b causes the rear end of the movable plate 4''' to be oscillated mainly in the forward/backward direction by the interference of the link 36 and the connecting plate 41. Assume that as shown in FIG. 9, the trajectory of the engagement shaft 40a for connecting the connecting plate 41 and the movable plate 4A together forward/backward is T1 and is used for the extendable/contractable actuator 45 and the movable The engagement of the front/rear swing of an engagement shaft 40b in which the plates 40 are coupled together is T2, and the two swing strokes 200934550 (strokes) are set to be identical to each other, but the upward/downward movement components are on the tracks T1 and T2. Set to different. Further, although the trajectory T1 is mainly moved in the forward/backward direction, the kernel trajectory T2 has an increased upward/downward moving component in addition to the forward/backward moving component. This is because the shaft 303 of the connecting plate 42 is located behind the shaft 40b, and in addition, the trajectory T2 is advanced and retracted via different paths deviating in the upward/backward direction because the front end end swinging for driving the movable plate 4〇 is constituted. The rotating plate 39 of one of the moving components changes the position of the shaft 3〇3 as the rotation axis of the connecting plate 42 in the upward/backward direction. At this point, the seat frame 20 of the seat 2 is fixed to the movable plate 40. 'The movable plate 4' is moved in the forward/backward direction and the left/right direction as the output shafts 32 and 33 rotate. The rocking motion whereby the seat 2 swings with the movable panel 40 in the forward/backward and left/right directions. The number of revolutions of the output shafts 32 and 33 is set to ensure two cycles of forward/backward rocking motion during one cycle of left/right panning motion. The midpoint 21a of the seat surface member 21 of the seat 2 is positioned at the center of the left/right direction and the lowest point in the forward/backward direction. Perform two cycles of forward/backward rocking motion during one cycle of left/right rocking motion' such that midpoint 21a is forward/backward and left/right in seat 2 as shown in FIG. 11A The movement of the figure-eight pattern (when viewed from the top) is made during the rocking motion. Due to the difference between the tracks T1 and T2, the midpoint 21a of the seat 2 can be lowered while moving forward as shown in Fig. 11B, but can be raised while retreating. Further, as described above, the trajectory T1 of the rear end of the seat 2 indicates that the backward/200934550 backward movement has a reduced upward/downward motion component, and on the other hand, the trajectory T2 of the front end of the seat 2 represents forward/backward. The motion has an increased up/down motion component. Thus, the upward/downward movement of the seat 2 is achieved in such a manner that the front end moves up and down with respect to the rear end. The use of the seat 2 on the seat 2 at a position substantially coincident with the midpoint 21a of the seat 2 can accurately sense the movement of the seat 2, that is, the front end of the front end with respect to the rear end located behind the user. Move down. φ Figs. 11A and 11B are graphs obtained by plotting the movement of the midpoint 21a of the seat 2 at regular time intervals. A portion having a larger interval between the dots in the graph indicates a high-speed movement and a portion where the narrower interval becomes a wider interval in a short-time period represents a movement having an increased acceleration. Figures 11A and 11B show that the acceleration of the forward motion is greater than the acceleration of the backward motion. The user who rides on the seat 2 and feels the movement of the seat 2 gains the feeling of moving forward. Therefore, the user feels as if he or she is actually riding. The left/backward rocking motion is not generated about a horizontal axis substantially parallel to the movable plate 4〇, but is generated around the front end lower than the longitudinal axis a of the rear end. Therefore, although the movable plate 40 swings leftward/rightward in the equal angle range at the front end and the rear end, the movement of the movable plate 4〇 to the left/right at the front end is larger than the stroke at the rear end. This is because the vertical distance between the front end of the movable plate 4〇 and the longitudinal axis A is greater than the vertical distance between the rear end of the movable plate and the longitudinal axis A. The forward/backward rocking motion (pitching) is combined with the left/right rocking motion (rolling). In the trajectory of the 8-character 11 200934550-shaped pattern observed from the top, the leftward/rightward moving width of the front side becomes larger than the rear side', which is apparent in Fig. 11A. Further, the forward tilting motion includes a biasing motion component that causes the front end of the seat 2 to be twisted forward and to move in a cross shape. Therefore, the user who rides on the seat 2 and feels that all the seats 2 are moving cannot maintain balance unless he or she overcomes the yaw motion and the pitch and roll motions. This is quite effective from the perspective of balance training. The extendable/contractable actuator 45 of the drive unit 70 3 is provided in order to change the forward/backward tilt angle of the seat 2. In response to the manipulation of the operation panel 8, the extendable/contractible actuator 45 is extended and contracted to convert the forwardly inclined posture and the backward inclined posture. In addition, the extendable/contractable actuator 45 can perform the stretching and contracting motions in accordance with the forward/backward and left/right rocking motions, thereby increasing or decreasing the upward/downward motion component. If the forward/backward tilt angle of the seat 2 is changed, the load acting on the respective muscles of the user (abdominal muscles, back muscles, thigh diaphragms, and hind leg muscles) also changes during the swinging motion of the seat 2. The change in the rocking speed also causes a change in the load strength acting on each muscle and the ratio of the respective loads. In order to clearly recognize the change, the user's load state acting on the respective muscles is displayed on the operation panel 8, which will be hereinafter described. The load state is determined based on the previously obtained data so that the myogenic potential of the respective muscles changes with the inclination angle and the swing speed of the seat 2 forward/backward. When the user rides on the seat 2 and feels the movement of all the seats 2, the user can enjoy the rocking motion in a safer manner by pressing the foot against the stirrup member 7 and gripping the handle 6 by hand. The stirrup member 7 is designed by 12 200934550 such that the joint between the joint member 72 and the foot board 70 can be adjusted in the vertical direction. This makes it possible to set the height of the stirrup member 7 to satisfy the user's body shape and preferences. The connector 72 is made of an elastic material and can be freely bent to the left and right. As is apparent from the right-handed member 7 shown in Fig. 4, the footrest 7's engaged on the upper surface of the connecting member 72 has a bottom portion which extends upward and outward at an inclination angle α. By biasing the footrest 7〇 outward, the user can easily press the foot against the footrest 70. Once the foot is pressed against the footrest 70 of each of the stirrup members 7, the elastic link 72 is bent to move the footrest 7's inwardly, thereby bringing the bottom of the footrest 70 to a level. It can be clearly seen from the left 蹬-shaped member 7 shown in FIG. Therefore, when the foot is placed on the stirrup member 7, the user can maintain a proper posture without exerting an excessive force on the ankle or the knee. FIG. 1 shows an operation panel 8 disposed at a front end portion of the seat 2. In the figure, reference numeral 80 denotes a power switch, reference numeral 8A is a height adjustment switch for operating the electric sliding unit 14 to adjust the height of the seat 2, and the reference numeral Μ indicates that the operation is extensible/ The contraction actuator 45 adjusts the switch at an angle that adjusts the tilt angle of the seat 2, and reference numeral 83 denotes a speed adjustment switch for changing the rotational speed of the drive unit 3 to control the swing speed. Reference numeral 84 indicates that the user is used to enter the _

Reference numeral 87 denotes a moving object changeover switch for changing a moving object, and 13 200934550 denotes a display constituted by a liquid crystal panel. When the moving object changeover switch 87 is operated, the forward/backward inclination angle of the seat 2 is appropriately changed by the extendable/contracting actuation 45. The function of the display device 88 is to indicate the tilt state, the speed adjustment state, the operation time, the exercise intensity, and the calculated exercise amount of the seat 2. (calories burned) and the speed of the filament 2 and the forward/backward tilting posture caused by the elongation and contraction of the extendable/contractable actuator 45, acting on the abdominal muscles, the back muscles, the front thigh muscles And the negative load on the muscles behind the thighs. , . It is preferable to calculate the amount of exercise based on the amount of swing (data corresponding to the amount of movement per unit time) which is calculated in advance for each of the forward/backward tilt posture and the operation speed of the seat 2, the input weight value, and the operation time. However, it is also possible to mount an acceleration sensor on the drive unit 3 or the seat 2 and calculate the amount of motion using the acceleration count counted by the acceleration sensor. Fig. 12 shows an example of the control loop c which controls the operation of the drive unit 3 in response to the operation of the switch group 8〇_87 of the operation panel 8 and displays it on the display H 88 . The control loop c includes a calculation control unit ci, a data table C2, a memory C3, and a timer. The data table c2 stores: rocking data of the amount of rocking motion calculated in advance for each forward/backward tilting posture and operating speed of the shop 2 to display the number of cards consumed; and pre-acquisition to be actuated according to extension/contraction The load data of the load values applied to the different body parts by the forward tilt, the backward tilt and the level attitude and the operating speed generated by the elongation/contraction of the device 45. Further, as described above, 200934550, the load is defined based on data obtained in advance based on a change in the myogenic potential of each muscle generated based on the forward/backward tilt angle of the seat 2 and the change in the operating speed. The calculation control circuit C1 reads out from the data table C2 the data corresponding to the posture of the seat 2 (the extension/contraction position of the extendable/contractable actuator 45) and the operation speed in the posture of the seat 2g, and A load to be applied to a plurality of body parts of the user (abdominal muscles, back muscles, anterior thigh muscles, and back muscles of the thighs) is displayed. ® 13A to 13E show display examples of loads applied to different body parts of the user in accordance with changes in posture and operating speed. Specifically, Fig. 13A shows the load applied in the low speed and level posture. The load applied in the low speed and forward tilt attitude is illustrated. Fig. 13C shows the load applied in the low speed and backward tilt postures. Fig. 13D shows the load applied in the intermediate speed and the backward tilt posture. Fig. 13E shows the load applied in the high speed and backward tilt posture. By the way, the user can know that the load applied to the anterior thigh muscle becomes larger toward the slanting slanting wire T, and the load on the applied erector muscle and the back muscle becomes larger in the backward tilting posture. The user can also know that the load applied to different body parts gradually increases as the operating speed increases.

If outside, the user can find out if the current posture and operating speed match the wishes of the latter in order to train, for example, abdominal muscles. The memory C3 is used for storage by a user or the like. meter

The controller C4 is used to measure the operation time. R In the above embodiment, the trajectory shown in Figs. 11A and 11B holds phase 15 200934550, and the load is displayed in response to the posture of the seat 2 and the change in speed. Alternatively, the trajectories shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B may also vary, in which case the load applied to different body parts may be stored in advance by storing data corresponding to the respective trajectories in the same manner as described above.
