Fig. 1 Gesamtansicht der Vorrichtung im schematischen Schnitt darstellt.Fig. 1 represents an overall view of the device in schematic section.
Die vorgeschlagene erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung enthält das Gehäuse (1), in dem der Hohlraum (2) ausgeführt ist, dazu auch die Welle (3) mit Grundbremselementen (4), dabei sind die freien Wellenspitzen (5) mit der Möglichkeit der Gewährleistung ihrer Verbindung mit dem Antriebsorgan angeordnet (in de Zeichnung nicht dargestellt).The proposed device according to the invention contains the housing (1) in which the cavity (2) is made, as well as the shaft (3) with basic braking elements (4) the free shaft tips (5) are arranged with the possibility of ensuring their connection to the drive element (not shown in the drawing).
Die Vorrichtung enthält eine regulierbare Stromspeit:;ung (nicht dargestellt) mit dem Elektromagnet (6), de; ι>er die Oberfläche des Gehäuses (1) angeordnet ist, und hart mit dem Gehäuse (1) verbundene Bremsplatten (7), die unter dem Elektromagnet (6) und mit dem Spalt in der Querrichtung in bezug aufeinander angeordnet sind.The device contains an adjustable current supply: (not shown) with the electromagnet (6), de; ι> he the surface of the housing (1) is arranged, and hard to the housing (1) connected brake plates (7), which are arranged below the electromagnet (6) and with the gap in the transverse direction with respect to each other.
Der Hohlraum (2) des Gehäuses (1) ist mit der magnetischen Flüssigkeit (8) gefüllt. Ausserdem sind an der Welle (3) zusätzliche Bremselem«ate (9) montiert, die auch wie die Grundbremselemente (4) in den Bremsplattenspalten mit der Möglichkeit der Ueberdeckung ihrer Oberflächen ft Gewährleistung Belastungswertveränderungen angeord..-^ .The cavity (2) of the housing (1) is filled with the magnetic liquid (8). Also are ate on the shaft (3) additional Bremselem "(9) mounted, also as the basic braking elements (4) ft in the brake plate columns with the possibility of superimposed image of their surfaces ensuring load value changes angeord ..- ^.
Die angemeldete Vorrichtung kann, zum Beispiel, an dem Rahmen des Trainingsfahrrades befestigt werden, dabei kann die freie Wellenspitze (5) der Welle (3) mit dem Antriebsorgan einer Trainingsvorrichtung, zum Beispiel mit Hilfe eines Kettentriebs, einer Scheibe mit Stange o.g. verbunden sein.The registered device can, for example, be attached to the frame of the training bike, the free shaft tip (5) of the shaft (3) can be driven with the drive element of a training device, for example with the aid of a chain drive, a disc with a rod or the like. be connected.
Bei der Turnübung dreht das Antriebsorgan die Welle (3), die ihrerseits die Grundbremselemente (4) und zusätzliche Bremselemente (9) dreht. orrichtung zur Durchführung von Massnahmen wird auf im. ,ende Weise funktioniert.During the gymnastics exercise, the drive element rotates the shaft (3), which in turn rotates the basic braking elements (4) and additional braking elements (9). The implementation of measures is carried out on the. , end way works.
Die Vorrichtung wird, zum Beispiel, am Rahmen eines Trainingsfahrrades befestigt, dabei ist die freie Wellenspitze (5) der Welle (3) mit dem Antriebsorgan einer Trainingsvorrichtung durch einen Kettentrieb oder eine Scheibe mit flexiblee Triebstange verbunden.The device is, for example, attached to the frame of a training bike, the free shaft tip (5) of the shaft (3) is connected to the drive element of a training device by a chain drive or a disk with a flexible drive rod.
Bei der Turnübung dreht das Antriebsorgan die Welle (3), die ihrerseits die Grundbremselemente (4) und zusätzliche Bremselemente (9), die in den queren Spalten der unbeweglichen Bremsplatten (7) angeordnet sind, dreht. Beim Durchgang vom elektrischen Strom durch den Elektromagnet (6) entsteht das Magnetfeld, das durch das Gehäuse (1), die Bremselemente (4, 7, 9) und magnetische Flüssigkeit (8), die sich im Hohlraum (2) befindet, durchzieht. Dabei verändert Flüssigkeit (8) ihre Zähigkeit, die der Stromspannung und der Stromstärke proportional ist. Infolgedessen entstehen zwischen den Platten (7) und Elementen (4 und 9), so auch zwischen Elementen (4) und Seitenwänden des Gehäuses (1) Kräfte, die die Wellendrehung verhindern, was, eigentlich, für die Belastungsbildung am Antriebsorgan der Trainingsvorrichtung notwendig ist.During the gymnastics exercise, the drive element rotates the shaft (3), which in turn rotates the basic braking elements (4) and additional braking elements (9) which are arranged in the transverse columns of the immovable brake plates (7). The passage of the electric current through the electromagnet (6) creates the magnetic field which passes through the housing (1), the braking elements (4, 7, 9) and magnetic fluid (8), which is located in the cavity (2). Liquid (8) changes its viscosity, which is proportional to the voltage and current. As a result, forces occur between the plates (7) and elements (4 and 9), including elements (4) and side walls of the housing (1), which prevent shaft rotation, which is actually necessary for the formation of loads on the drive element of the training device .
Bei der automatischen Regelung der Stromspannung am Elektromagnet wird auch automatisch der Widerstand der Wellendrehung verändert und beziehungsweise verändert sich die Belastung bei der Turnübung oder die Belastung bei der Arbeit einer Attraktion. With the automatic regulation of the voltage on the electromagnet, the resistance of the shaft rotation is automatically changed and the load during the gymnastics exercise or the load during the work of an attraction changes.
