Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a manual exercising and electricity generating machine that user can exercise to store energy and the stored energy can be used to supply power to the electrical product as using the electrical product.
  • 2. Description of the Prior Art
  • Conventional manual electricity generating machine is comprised of two handles, a transmission mechanism, and an electricity generator. The handles are connected with the electricity generator through the transmission mechanism, accordingly user has to rotate the handles to generate energy while in use of the electrical product, causing the inconvenience which the user has simultaneously to rotate the handles to generate energy while in use of the electrical product.
  • The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a manual exercising and electricity generating machine that user can exercise to store energy and the stored energy can be used to supply power to the electrical product as using the electrical product.
  • The manual exercising and electricity generating machine according to the present invention comprises: a base and an upper housing, the base including a plurality of supports disposed on the bottom end thereof to support the manual exercising and electricity generating machine. The base and the upper housing engage with each other, and between the base and the upper housing is mounted a support plate on which two handles, a transmission mechanism, and an electricity generator are installed. The handles are coupled with the electricity generator through the transmission mechanism, such that as user rotates the handles to exercise, a rotor of the electricity generator is driven to rotate to generate energy. Between the base and the upper housing are further fixed a rechargeable battery to store the energy and a DC/AC box to transform direct current outputted from the rechargeable battery into alternating current. An input end of the rechargeable battery is electrically connected with an output end of the electricity generator and an output end of the rechargeable battery is electrically connected with an input end of the DC/AC box, and an output end of the DC/AC box is coupled with a socket by using a wire, the socket is provided to insert a variety of plugs of electrical appliance thereon.
  • During rotating the handles to exercise to generate energy, the energy generated from the electricity generator is stored in the rechargeable battery so that the user can insert a plug of an electrical product onto the socket as desiring to use the electrical product. Therefore, as the user is in his/her free time, he/she can rotate the handles to generate and store energy, thus enabling to supply power to the electrical product while in use of the electrical product, such that the user can prevent the inconvenience which he/she has simultaneously to rotate the handles to generate energy while in use of the electrical product.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the exploded components of a manual exercising and electricity generating machine in accordance with the present invention;
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view illustrating the assembly of the manual exercising and electricity generating machine in accordance with the present invention.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • The present invention will be clearer from the following description when viewed together with the accompanying drawings, which show, for purpose of illustrations only, the preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
  • Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a manual exercising and electricity generating machine in accordance with the present invention comprises: a base 1 and an upper housing 2, the base 1 including a plurality of supports 11 disposed on the bottom end thereof to support the manual exercising and electricity generating machine. The base 1 and the upper housing 2 engage with each other, and between the base 1 and the upper housing 2 is mounted a support plate 3 on which two handles 4, a transmission mechanism 5, and an electricity generator 6 are installed. The handles 4 are coupled with the electricity generator 6 through the transmission mechanism 5, such that as user rotates the handles 4 to exercise, a rotor of the electricity generator 6 is driven to rotate to generate energy. Between the base 1 and the upper housing 2 are further fixed a rechargeable battery 7 to store the energy and a DC/AC box 8 to transform direct current outputted from the rechargeable battery 7 into alternating current. An input end of the rechargeable battery 7 is electrically connected with an output end of the electricity generator 6 and an output end of the rechargeable battery 7 is electrically connected with an input end of the DC/AC box 8, and an output end of the DC/AC box 8 is coupled with a socket 9 by using a wire, the socket 9 is provided to insert a variety of plugs of electrical appliance thereon.
  • During rotating the handles 4 to generate energy, the energy generated from the electricity generator 6 is stored in the rechargeable battery 7 so that the user can insert a plug of an electrical product onto the socket 9 as desiring to use the electrical product. Therefore, as the user is in his/her free time, he/she can rotate the handles 4 to generate and store energy, thus enabling to supply power to the electrical product while in use of the electrical product, such that the user can prevent the inconvenience which he/she has simultaneously to rotate the handles to generate energy while in use of the electrical product.
  • While we have shown and described various embodiments in accordance with the present invention, it is clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
