為本揭示案之目的,「對齊的」一詞代表平行、大致平行、或形成小於35.0度的角度。為本揭示案之目的,「橫向的」一詞代表垂直、大致垂直、或形成在55.0度及125.0度之間的角度。另外,為本揭示案之目的,「長度」一詞代表一物體最長的一維度。還有,為本揭示案之目的,「寬度」一詞代表一物體側邊到側邊的維度。通常一物體的寬度橫向於該物體的長度。
第1圖描繪跑步機100的例子,該跑步機包括一板台102、一底座104、及一直立結構106。板台102包括一平台108,該平台具有一前滑輪連接至平台108的前部,並具有一後滑輪連接至平台108的後部。跑步帶110圍繞該平台、該前滑輪、及該第二滑輪的一部分。一馬達(未圖示)能驅動前滑輪或後滑輪其中之一,並致使跑步帶110沿平台108的一表面移動。
一傾斜機構(未圖示)經整合入底座104中並控制板台102之前部的高度。板台的前部也於一樞軸連接114處連接至底座104。隨傾斜機構抬高板台的前部,板台102的後部維持接觸地板,因此,板台102的前部相對於底座104上斜。
一直立結構106連接至底座104。此例子中,該直立結構包括一第一臂116及一第二臂118,該第一臂及該第二臂自直立結構106的一中央部分120延伸遠離。第一臂116支撐一第一纜繩122,而第二臂118支撐一第二纜繩124。第一及第二纜繩各具有一端126附接至一把手128。第一及第二纜繩的另一端附接至一阻力機構130,該阻力機構連接至直立結構106。一顯示器132也附接至直立結構106,該顯示器顯示有關使用者之訓練動作的資訊,該訓練動作涉及跑步帶的移動。在此例子中,該阻力機構包括一飛輪134,而由該飛輪的旋轉是以一磁性單元抵抗。
在此例子中,一使用者正在具有移動中之跑步帶110的板台102上運動。跑步帶的移動可由馬達136驅動。在其他例子中,跑步帶110的移動可由使用者的雙腳所驅動並由飛輪134及磁性單元之間的互動所抵抗。
第2圖圖示跑步機200的實例,該跑步機具有板台202及直立結構204。在此例子中,使用者206正以併入直立結構204中的拉繩208運動。隨使用者以把手212拉動拉繩208的端210,拉繩208沿其長度移動。拉繩208的端點連接至阻力機構並致使飛輪214對抗阻力而旋轉。
進一步,在所圖示例子中,使用者206在以拉繩208進行運動的同時站在跑步帶216上。在使用者206執行拉繩運動的同時,跑步帶216經鎖定在原位使得跑步帶216無法移動。因此,使用者206能站在跑步帶上並對抗阻力而拉動,無須讓跑步帶216因拉繩運動而移動。在此例子中,顯示器218呈現有關使用者之訓練動作的資訊,該訓練動作涉及拉繩208的移動。
第3圖圖示一阻力機構300的實例。在此例子中,阻力機構300包括一飛輪302,該飛輪由連接至直立結構306的一輪軸304所支撐。一磁性單元308經定位於鄰接飛輪302。在一些例子中,磁性單元308經定位於鄰接飛輪302的周圍。磁性單元308可在飛輪302上施加抵抗飛輪之旋轉的磁力。在一些情況中,可藉由移動磁性單元308更靠近飛輪302來增加該磁性單元之阻力的強度。相反地,在相同例子中,可藉由移動該磁性單元更遠離飛輪302來降低阻力的強度。在一替代例子中,可藉由改變給磁性單元308的電功率位準來變化磁性單元308的強度。也被設置在輪軸304上的是一捲軸312,在該處拉繩316的第二端314連接至阻力機構300。隨著拉繩316從第一端被拉動,該繩的第二端318移動而致使捲軸312旋轉。
第4圖圖示一顯示器400的實例。在此例子中,顯示器400可有用於呈現拉繩組合(set)的數目402、拉繩重複次數404、繩上的平均拉力406、阻力位準408、無氧卡路里燃燒410、有氧卡路里燃燒412、心臟電流率414、及跑步持續時間416的欄位。
第5圖圖示跑步機500的實例。在此例子中,手扶欄杆502經連接至直立結構504。手扶欄杆502包括第一柱506連接至第一側508,以及第二柱(未圖示)連接至第二側512。第一及第二柱506、510之各者可樞轉地連接至該直立結構。
板台514可於底座樞軸連接516處連接至直立結構504。隨著板台514被朝上旋轉,板台514在到達板台的收納位置之前接合手扶欄杆502。隨著板台514在接合手扶欄杆502之後繼續朝上移動,手扶欄杆502的柱506圍繞柱樞軸連接518旋轉。因此,隨著板台514繼續朝上移動,板台514及手扶欄杆502一起朝上移動。當板台514到達收納位置時,可使用閂鎖520以將板台514保持在該收納位置中。因此,藉由單一閂鎖520將板台514及手扶欄杆502保持在一朝上之收納位置中。
第6圖圖示鎖定機構600的例子。在此例子中,跑步帶602包括具有開口606界定在其中的一表面604。連接至板台610的可回縮針銷608能經定位於鄰接開口606且可被插入開口606中。藉著被插入開口606中的針銷608,跑步帶602被鎖定在原位使得跑步帶602不移動。
第7圖圖示替代的鎖定機構700的實例。在此例子中,鎖定機構包括經定位鄰接於滑輪704的一夾子702,滑輪704驅動跑步帶706。夾子702能在滑輪704上或在支撐滑輪704的輪軸708上施加力,使得滑輪704及/或輪軸708無法旋轉。如此能在原位鎖定跑步帶706。替代地,夾子702可經定位鄰接於跑步帶602且可直接施加一停止力至該跑步帶,將該跑步帶釘扎在夾子702及滑輪704之間以將其原位鎖定。可用任意種方式致動夾子,包括(但不限於)機械地致動、液壓地致動、 以電磁圈電氣地致動,及類似者。
第8圖圖示跑步機800的實例。在此例子中,跑步機800包括板台802及直立結構804。板台802包括跑步帶806,該跑步帶是藉由使用者的力量驅動。在此例子中,隨著使用者以他(她)的腿使得跑步帶806移動,前滑輪808旋轉。傳動系統810包括傳動鏈結812,其連接前滑輪808至直立結構804中的飛輪814。隨著跑步帶806繼續移動,跑步帶之移動的慣性被儲存在飛輪814中。當藉著鎖定機構816將跑步帶806鎖定在原位時,能利用飛輪對使用者的拉繩運動提供阻力。因此,可針對有氧運動及拉繩運動使用單一個飛輪814。
第9圖顯示併入跑步機905中之裝置900的示意圖。跑步機905可包括用於雙向語音及數據通訊的組件,包括用於傳送及接收通訊的組件,包括處理器915、I/O控制器920、及記憶體925。記憶體925可也包括第一數據集呈現器930、第二數據集呈現器935、及第三數據集呈現器940。

第二數據集呈現器940可包括心率呈現器945、卡路里呈現器950、及持續時間呈現器955。儘管所圖示範例描繪了包括特定呈現器的第三數據集呈現器940,但可包括其他類型的呈現器,像是生理狀況呈現器、呼吸呈現器、血壓呈現器、即將到來的運動呈現器、另外類型的呈現器,或以上的組合。
跑步機905可與感測器980及顯示器985通訊。可將顯示器985包括在跑步機中、行動裝置中、另外類型之裝置中,或以上之組合。任何適當類型的感測器980可與跑步機905通訊。可與跑步機905通訊的感測器之非窮盡清單包括:里程表、計時器、水平儀、加速度計、磁力計、高度計、重力量測、電壓偵測器、歐姆計、電容器、血氧儀、應變計、攝影機、光學感測器、計數器、另外類型的感測器,或以上之組合。感測器980可被併入跑步機中、可穿戴監視器中、接近跑步機的裝置中,或以上之組合。

一般而言,本說明書揭示的發明可提供使用者一種跑步機,該跑步機同時提供板台及直立結構,該板台用於進行有氧運動,該直立結構包括用於進行無氧運動的機構。使用者可在進行運動的無氧部分的同時站在板台上。用於進行運動之無氧部分的機構可包括拉繩系統,其允許使用者在站在運動版台上的同時進行拉繩運動。
在一例中,跑步機可包括板台、第一滑輪、第二滑輪、跑步帶、鎖定機構、直立結構、拉繩、把手、阻力機構、飛輪、磁性單元、感測器、輸入機構、處理器、記憶體、跑步帶表面、界定在跑步帶表面中的開口、可回縮針銷、用於將該針銷插入該開口中的插入機構、馬達、及阻力機構。
該板台可包括第一滑輪及第二滑輪,該第一滑輪經設置在板台的第一部分中,該第二滑輪經設置在該板台的第二部分中。該跑步帶可圍繞該第一滑輪及該第二滑輪。在一些情況中,馬達與第一滑輪及第二滑輪中至少一者機械傳通。當馬達啟用時,該馬達可致使跑步帶移動。在這些類型的例子中,使用者能藉由輸入機構來控制跑步帶的速度。
在其他例子中,跑步帶是藉由使用者的力量所驅動。在這些類型的例子中,來自使用者腿部的向量力對著跑步台之表面的長度推動,致使跑步帶移動。可利用飛輪來儲存來自使用者驅使之跑步帶移動的慣性。在這些情況中,跑步帶的速度是基於使用者之訓練動作所輸入的勞力所控制。
鎖定機構可選擇地避免跑步帶移動。在一些情況中,鎖定機構連同一馬達併入跑步機中,該馬達驅動跑步機的移動。在其他例子中,鎖定機構經併入跑步機中,其中跑步帶的移動是藉由使用者的步行/跑步力量。在一些例子中,鎖定機構可包括與跑步帶互鎖的組件或是隨跑步帶移動的部件。
按照本說明書中所述原理可使用任何適當類型的鎖定機構。在一些情況中,鎖定機構經電子地操作。在其他情況中,鎖定機構經手動操作。在一例中,鎖定機構直接對跑步帶施加力來防止移動。在其他例子中,鎖定機構對板台的滑輪及/或支撐板台的輪軸其中至少一者施加力。在又另一例子中,鎖定機構對與跑步帶機械傳通的飛輪施加力。
在一例中,跑步帶包括一表面,而藉由鎖定機構施加力至該表面以防止移動。該表面可包括平面中的一區域,而該力可以橫向於該平面的方向被施加。此可藉由對該表面施加壓縮力及對跑步帶之表面的相反側施加反向力來完成。在一些情況中,壓縮力被施加於單一位置處(像是沿著跑步帶的一邊緣)。在其他例子中,壓縮力被施加於跑步帶多個位置處,像是沿著跑步帶的邊緣以及在位於跑步帶中央的區域中。
在另一例中,鎖定機構施加的力具有至少一向量成分與該表面之區域的平面對齊。此可藉由施用一個針銷、多個針銷、或另外類型的物體通過跑步帶並藉以避免跑步帶的移動。在這些類型例子的至少一者中,可在跑步帶的表面中界定一開口。可將一可回縮針銷連接至該板台,並可在鎖定機構啟用時利用一插入機構將該可回縮針銷插入該開口中。該插入力可為磁力、液壓力、氣動力、彈簧力、機械力、另外類型的力,或以上之組合。
包括被插入跑步帶之一開口中的針銷的實施例對於減慢跑步帶不一定可行,因為跑步帶的動能將在將針銷插入開口之後立即被遏止。跑步帶的即刻停止將導致跑步帶及針銷上的高負荷,並可能將導致損壞。因此,鎖定機構具有優勢,因為當原位鎖定跑步帶時鎖定機構不一定遏止跑步帶的動能。
在另一例中,一夾子經定位鄰接於板台的滑輪或隨滑輪移動之組件(像是支撐滑輪的輪軸)中之一者。該夾子可在滑輪及/或所關聯組件上施加壓縮力以原位鎖定跑步帶。在其他例子中,滑輪、輪軸或另外的組件包括一開口、一平板、或一插座,其能與鎖定機構的一組件互鎖以將該跑步帶鎖定在原位。如同上述的開口,在將跑步帶原位鎖定時,當跑步帶的動能必須被遏止時將鎖定機構的組件與滑輪或相關聯組件互鎖不一定為可行。
在另一例中,可應用磁性單元至滑輪、支撐滑輪的輪軸、與滑輪傳通的飛輪、隨滑輪移動的另外組件、或以上的組合中至少一者。可利用該磁性單元來施加夠強的磁力,確保跑步帶無法移動。在一特定實例中,飛輪儲存了使用者供能之跑步帶的慣性,而磁性單元藉由在飛輪上施加磁力以防止跑步帶的移動。
可回應於任何適當的觸發來應用鎖定機構。在一些例子中,可回應於使用者啟動該鎖定機構來應用該鎖定機構。此可藉由併入跑步機中的輸入機構或與跑步機傳通的另外裝置來達成。例如,輸入機構可為按壓按鈕、觸控螢幕、麥克風、槓桿、切換開關、撥號盤、另外類型的輸入機構,或以上之組合。在其他例子中,輸入機構可包括手動地插入一針銷、手動地插入一互鎖組件、或手動地施加壓縮力。
在跑步機經配置以支援無氧運動的例子中,鎖定機構的觸發可為回應於關聯無氧運動之一組件的移動。在一例中,鎖定機構的觸發是回應於拉繩的移動、回應於阻力機構之飛輪的旋轉、可移動負重被升起、增加的力被施加至板台(例如表示自由負重或其他類型之抬舉運動的加速)、另外的觸發,或以上之組合。在一些情況中,當拉繩被拉動時鎖定機構鎖定跑步帶以防止其移動。在一些情況中,鎖定機構回應於在拉繩上的拉力而鎖定跑步帶。
在另一例中,在缺少力的情況下觸發了鎖定機構。例如,當馬達停用時鎖定機構可防止跑步帶移動。
在一些例子中,一直立結構經連接至底座。在此例子中,直立結構包括從該直立結構的中央部分延伸遠離的第一臂及第二臂。第一臂支撐第一纜繩,而第二臂支撐第二纜繩。第一及第二纜繩各自具有一端附接至一把手。第一及第二纜繩的另一端被附接至阻力機構,該阻力機構連接至直立結構。一顯示器也附接至直立結構,該顯示器顯示有關使用者之訓練動作的資訊,該訓練動作涉及跑步帶的移動。在此例子中,該阻力機構包括一飛輪,而由該飛輪的旋轉是以一磁性單元抵抗。
捲軸可經連接至輪軸,使得當捲軸隨著纜繩上的拉力而在第一方向中旋轉時該輪軸移動。隨著使用者減少拉力,抵銷重量(或另外類型的捲動機構)可致使捲軸在第二方向中旋轉,以圍繞捲軸將拉繩捲回。在所描繪例子中,捲軸連接至輪軸使得當該捲軸在第二方向中旋轉時,該輪軸不隨該捲軸旋轉。因此,在該第二方向中,該捲軸獨立於該輪軸而旋轉。因此,當拉繩沿著其長度在第二方向中移動時,飛輪不隨著拉繩旋轉。
藉著在單一方向中旋轉的飛輪,能簡化對使用者之訓練動作的多個參數的判斷。例如,經定位鄰接於飛輪的感測器可藉由計算飛輪的旋轉或部分旋轉的次數來偵測飛輪的移動。在磁鐵、標記器、斷續器、或其他指示器通過的例子中可由感測器完成計數。拉動運動之各重複次數可對應於一預定計數數目。因此,可藉由飛輪的旋轉來追蹤重複次數。進一步,計數之間的持續時間也可指示出使用者拉動拉繩的速度,此能對應於使用者對該拉動運動所施加的力。藉由分解磁性單元對飛輪施加的阻力位準也能決定該力。
儘管此例乃參照飛輪僅在單一方向旋轉所說明,在替代實施例中,飛輪在兩個方向中都隨拉繩的移動而旋轉。
在一些例子中,磁性單元經定位於鄰接飛輪的周圍。磁性單元可在飛輪上施加抵抗飛輪之旋轉的磁力。在一些情況中,可藉由移動磁性單元更靠近飛輪來增加該磁性單元之阻力的強度。相反地,在相同例子中,可藉由移動該磁性單元更遠離飛輪來降低阻力的強度。在一替代例子中,可藉由改變給磁性單元的電功率位準來變化磁性單元的強度。也被設置在輪軸上的是一捲軸,在該處拉繩的第二端連接至阻力機構。隨著拉繩從第一端被拉動,該繩的第二端移動而致使捲軸旋轉。
跑步機可包括一顯示器。該顯示器可經併入跑步機的控制台中、併入跑步機的直立部分中、併入跑步機的板台中、併入跑步機的欄杆中、併入跑步機的另外部分中、併入與跑步機電子通訊的裝置中,或以上之組合。在此例子中,顯示器可有用於呈現拉繩組合的數目、拉繩重複次數、繩上的平均拉力、阻力位準、無氧卡路里燃燒、有氧卡路里燃燒、心臟電流率、及跑步持續時間、呼吸率、血壓率、另外類型的生理參數、另外類型的跑步機操作參數、或以上之組合的欄位。因此,顯示器可描繪來自涉及跑步機之移動的運動及涉及獨立於跑步機之移動的另外組件的運動的運動參數。顯示器可描繪來自涉及有氧運動及無氧運動之運動的運動參數。進一步,該顯示器可呈現從跑步帶之移動、以及從涉及另外組件(無關於跑步帶之移動)之運動、及/或從涉及有氧運動及無氧運動之運動所獨立地導出的生理資訊。在其他例子中,該些生理參數乃從各種運動類型的組合所導出。
上述的呈現器可包括硬體及程式編寫之指令的組合,以實行經指定給各呈現器的功能。例如,心率呈現器可與心率監視器通訊,該心率監視器可屬於一可穿戴裝置或是整合於跑步機中的心率監視器的部分。心率呈現器可從心率監視器獲得有關使用者之心率的週期性資訊。可在沒有請求下藉由所呈現的心率來接收此資訊。在替代實施例中,心率呈現器請求來自心率監視器的資訊。在一些情況中,來自心率監視器的原始數據經致使由心率呈現器所處理。在替代實施例中,心率監視器處理該資訊之至少一部分。心率呈現器發送心率資訊至顯示器以供呈現給使用者。儘管已參照心率呈現器說明這些例子,但以上以感測器、顯示器、處理器、記憶體及呈現器所述的原理、排列方式及關係可通用地適用於併入跑步機中的每個呈現器。
本揭示案的顯示器可顯示習用跑步機中未見的廣泛範圍之資訊,習用跑步機提供僅進行有氧類型之運動的選擇。在本揭示案中所述例子裡,顯示器包括了來自訓練動作之有氧段的資訊,也有有關訓練動作之無氧部分的資訊。
在此例子中,跑步機可追蹤使用者燃燒的卡路里數。可從運動的有氧段獲得針對卡路里燃燒的輸入,像是有氧運動的持續時間、使用者的心率、跑步機的速度、使用者的重量、該有氧運動的其他參數,或以上之組合。進一步,所呈現的卡路里燃燒可部分基於該運動的無氧段,像是使用者舉起的重量、使用者進行的組合(set)及重複次數、使用者執行拉動的力、拉動前後的心率、進行拉動及完成訓練動作之有氧部分之間的所持續時間、其他因素,或以上之組合。來自訓練動作之有氧及無氧部分兩者的因素可一起被利用來決定使用者的卡路里燃燒。
進一步,在訓練動作的有氧部分及無氧部分兩者的期間可追蹤使用者的生理參數。習知地,跑步機僅在訓練動作之有氧部分期間追蹤生理參數。因此,使用者未察覺是否使用者在訓練動作的無氧部分期間超過期望的心跳範圍、血壓範圍、呼吸速率範圍、另外類型的生理狀況範圍。因此,藉著本發明中所述跑步機,使用者能夠在他(她)的訓練動作的額外部分期間監視他(她)的健康。
在一些例子中,手扶欄杆連接至直立結構。該手扶欄杆包括第一柱連接至第一側,以及第二柱連接至第二側。第一及第二柱之各者可樞轉地連接至該直立結構。
板台可於底座樞軸連接處連接至直立結構。隨著板台被朝上旋轉,該板台在到達板台的收納位置之前接合手扶欄杆。隨著板台在接合手扶欄杆之後繼續朝上移動,該手扶欄杆的柱子圍繞柱樞軸連接旋轉。因此,隨著板台繼續朝上移動,板台及手扶欄杆一起朝上移動。當板台到達收納位置時,可使用閂鎖以將板台的後端保持在該收納位置中。因此,藉由單一閂鎖將板台及手扶欄杆保持在一朝上之收納位置中。
藉由處理器及在記憶體中經程式編寫的指令可實施跑步機的不同功能。在一些例子中,拉繩系統之功能及/或鎖定機構之功能的特定態樣乃藉自訂電路來執行。額外地,可藉由處理器及在記憶體中經程式編寫的指令實施健身機的不同功能。在一些例子中,藉自訂電路來執行健身機之功能的特定態樣。
處理器可包括智慧硬體裝置(例如通用處理器、數位信號處理器(DSP)、中央處理單元(CPU)、微控制器、應用特定積體電路(ASIC)、現場可程式化閘陣列(FPGA)、可程式化邏輯裝置、分散的閘極或電晶體邏輯組件、分散的硬體組件、或以上的任意組合)。在一些情況中,可配置處理器以利用記憶體控制器來操作記憶體陣列。在其他情況中,可將記憶體控制器整合到處理器中。可配置處理器以執行儲存在記憶體中的電腦可讀取指令,以進行各種功能(例如支援將運動資訊覆蓋到一遠端顯示器上的功能或任務)。
I/O(輸入/輸出)控制器可管理用於媒體系統及/或健身機的輸入及輸出信號。輸入/輸出控制組件也可管理未整合到這些裝置中的周邊。在一些情況中,輸入/輸出控制組件可代表到外部周邊的實體連接或接口。在一些情況中,I/O 控制器可運用作業系統像是iOS®、ANDROID®、MS-DOS®、MS-WINDOWS®、OS/2®、UNIX®、LINUX®、或另外已知的作業系統。
記憶體可包括隨機存取記憶體(RAM)及唯讀記憶體(ROM)。記憶體可儲存電腦可讀取、電腦可執行軟體,該些軟體包括指令,當該等指令經執行時致使處理器進行本說明書中所述各種功能。在一些情況中,記憶體能包含(僅舉數例)基本輸入輸出系統(BIOS),其可控制基本的硬體及/或軟體操作,像是與周邊組件或裝置的互動。
跑步機可與儲存及/或追蹤有關使用者之健身數據的遠端通訊。可相容於本說明書所述原理的程式範例包括iFit程式,其可通過www.ifit.com取得。使用者可通過iFit程式(可通過www.ifit.com取得,其由位於美國猶他州洛根市的美商艾康運動與健康公司管理)取得此類設定檔資訊。可相容於本說明書所述原理的程式範例描述於發予Paul Hickman的美國第7,980,996號專利案中。在此藉引用方式將美國第7,980,996號專利案全部揭示內容併入本文。在一些例子中,藉由遠端裝置可取得的使用者資訊包括使用者的年齡、性別、體組成、身高、體重、健康狀況、其他類型的資訊,或以上之組合。也可藉由設定檔資源收集使用者資訊,該等設定檔資源為可藉由其他類型的程式取得。例如,可從社交媒體網站、部落格、公開資料庫、私人資料庫、其他來源、或以上之組合來蒐集使用者的資訊。又在其他例子中,可藉由健身機存取使用者資訊。在此種例子中,使用者可在訓練動作之前、之後、或其期間將個人資料輸入健身機中。使用者的資訊連同該使用者的過去運動數據可被用來提供使用者對於該使用者來說健康的生理參數範圍。進一步,可利用此資訊來進行訓練動作推薦及導出使用者目標。另外,此類型資訊可能有助於呈現使用者的進步。
