Abstract

An exerciser assembly includes an exerciser having a control device controlling the exerciser. The control device includes a first display screen, a first connection hole and a first control circuit. An intellectual device has a second display screen, a second connection hole and a second control circuit. The second control circuit has a control program which displays the operation mold of the exerciser on the second display screen of the intellectual device. A is connected between the first connection hole and the second connection hole so as to connect the first control circuit of the exerciser and the second control circuit of the intellectual device. When the control program is activated, the second control circuit of the intellectual device sends signals to the first control circuit of the exerciser. The first control circuit verifies the signals and controls the control device of the exerciser.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Fields of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to a control device of an exerciser, and more particularly, to an intellectual device such as a smart phone for controlling an exerciser.
  • 2. Descriptions of Related Art
  • The conventional exerciser such as a treadmill, usually has its own control device which is generally located on two upright posts and includes multiple operation buttons so that the users can operate these button to input demands to set different desired operation molds. Although the touch screen is used on the control device of the treadmills, the users are still restricted by the pre-set operation molds by the manufacturers of the treadmills.
  • Intellectual devices such as the smart phones and electronic panels are used widely, and some of the treadmills can be controlled by the signals from the smart phones and electronic panels, however, these controlling methods involve complicated structure and setting. Some gyms do not provide reliable Wi-Fi signals such that the smart phones and electronic panels are not able to be connected to the control device of the treadmills.
  • The present invention intends to provide a transmission device that is connected to the control device of an exerciser by a wire so as to eliminate the shortcomings mentioned above.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to an exerciser assembly and comprises an exerciser having a control device which controls the exerciser. The control device has a first display screen, a first connection hole and a first control circuit. The first display screen and the first control circuit are electrically connected to the first connection hole. The first control circuit controls the control device to operate the exerciser. An intellectual device has a second display screen, a second connection hole and a second control circuit. The second display screen and the second control circuit are electrically connected to the second connection hole. The second control circuit has a control program which displays the operation mold of the exerciser on the second display screen of the intellectual device. A wire has a connector on each of two ends thereof. The two connectors are respectively inserted into the first connection hole and the second connection hole so as to connect the first control circuit of the exerciser and the second control circuit of the intellectual device.
  • When the control program is activated and the operation mold is displayed on the second display screen, the second control circuit of the intellectual device sends signals to the first control circuit of the exerciser. The first control circuit verifies the signals and controls the control device of the exerciser.
  • Preferably, the control program is an application which is downloaded by the intellectual device.
  • Preferably, the second control circuit has a judgement unit which judges priority sequence between incoming voice calls and the second control circuit.
  • The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view to show that the intellectual device is connected to the exerciser of the present invention;
  • FIG. 2 shows the connection between the intellectual device and the exerciser of the present invention;
  • FIG. 3 shows another connection between the intellectual device and the exerciser of the present invention, and
  • FIG. 4 shows the operation logic of the judgement unit of the second control circuit of the intellectual device.
    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
  • Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, the exerciser assembly of the present invention comprises an exerciser 1 having a control device 11 which controls the exerciser 1. The control device 11 comprises a first display screen 111, a first connection hole 112 and a first control circuit 113. The first display screen 111 and the first control circuit 113 are electrically connected to the first connection hole 112. The first control circuit 113 controls the control device 11 to operate the exerciser 1.
  • An intellectual device 2 comprises a second display screen 21, a second connection hole 22 and a second control circuit 23. The second display screen 21 and the second control circuit 23 are electrically connected to the second connection hole 22. The second control circuit 23 has a control program 24 which displays the operation mold of the exerciser 1 on the second display screen 21 of the intellectual device 2. The control program 24 is an application which is downloaded by the intellectual device 2.
  • A wire 3 has a connector 31 on each of two ends thereof. The two connectors 31 are respectively inserted into the first connection hole 112 and the second connection hole 22 so as to connect the first control circuit 113 of the exerciser 1 and the second control circuit 23 of the intellectual device 2.
  • When the control program 24 is activated and the operation mold is displayed on the second display screen 21. The second control circuit 23 of the intellectual device 2, according to the operation mold, sends signals to the first control circuit 113 of the exerciser 1. The first control circuit 113 verifies the signals and controls the control device 11 of the exerciser 1.
  • As shown in FIG. 4, the second control circuit 23 has a judgement unit 114 which judges priority sequence between incoming voice calls and the second control circuit 23. In other words, when there is an incoming voice call, the judgement unit 114 temporarily stops the input or output of the second control circuit 23, and the user can take the call.
  • While we have shown and described the embodiment in accordance with the present invention, it should be clear to those skilled in the art that further embodiments may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
