Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for controlling an electric treadmill, and more particularly, to a method through which the operator can instruct the control console to perform preset commands to the motor without touching the control console.
  • each electric treadmill is fitted with a transmission system of motor at the bottom end thereof for an in-place rotation of the continuous belt so that the operator can stand on the continuous belt to take in-place walking exercise.
  • This electric treadmill is normally provided with a control console at a proper place thereof, and a number of control keys are disposed at another proper place thereof to facilitate the setting of the desired rotational speed of the continuous belt.
  • the electric treadmill is provided with a stepper motor.
  • the supported angle of the base frame is adjustable by means of the forward and backward rotation of motor together with the lifting assembly. This adjustment is carried out by different control keys.
  • the electric treadmill 10 of the preferred embodiment of the present invention includes an upright frame 11, two handrails 12, 13, a control console 20, a base frame 14, a continuous belt 15 and bottom supporting elements 16.
  • Two emission type sensor sets 30, 40 e.g. infrared, etc.
  • the control console 20 are fitted to the handrails 12, 13 of the electric treadmill 10, respectively.
  • air sensing fields 31, 41 covering a specific range are formed above both handrails 12, 13. Therefore, the operator can give any intentional signal that is detectable by the sensor sets during the walking exercise session.
  • the sensor orders the control console to perform a preset control action to the controlled motor (not shown) on receipt of the intentional signal of the operator. This is named by the inventor as air control mode.
  • the effective detection range (including width and height) of air sensing fields 31, 41 should be possibly set within the height of the treadmill and the operator for fear of interference by other objects.
  • Both above-mentioned emission type sensor sets 30, 40 are in control of opposite commands for motor, that is, one controls the acceleration of the motor while the other controls the deceleration thereof.
  • the motor is controlled to stop in consideration of user's safety and motor's protection.
  • the sensed state lasts for a longer time, it means a greater range of acceleration or deceleration.
  • the present invention can be controlled by swinging both hands in the air sensing fields 31, 41, thereby creating the convenience and the practicalness of the present invention.
  • the air control mode can also be used to control the supported angle of the base frame 14.
  • the control motor (not shown, and it's normally a stepper motor performing the forward and backward rotation) is different from the motor in connection with the continuous belt 15.
  • the air control mode can be designed as desired either to control the rotational speed of the continuous belt 15 or to control the supported angle of the base frame 14.
  • the air control mode can be designed to control both the rotational speed and the supported angle.
  • the air control mode can be fitted together with the control console 20 so that the operator can choose either of them for control.
  • the user can use either the conventional control keys to reach the expected control effect or the air control mode while no interference to each other will happen.
  • the air sensing fields 31, 41 won't interfere with the in-place walking exercise area.
  • the control of the present invention is completely carried out by the subjective will of the operator so that the use safety can be fully ensured.
  • a warning light 50 is switched on in order to remind others adjacent to the treadmill of the air control mode in operation state to avoid unexpected detection.
  • a hidden speaker (not shown) can be fitted to the air control mode so that a sound with certain volume can be given out to inform the user of the current operation state when any signals are sensed.
  • different operation states can be differentiated by giving a high or low sound for acceleration or deceleration and lifting or lowering, a long or short sound for the range of the acceleration or deceleration and lifting or lowering. This design is especially beneficial for the visually handicapped.

Claims (5)

  1. Verfahren zur Steuerung eines elektrischen Laufbands (10), das einen Laufübungsbereich an einer Stelle und Sensorsätze (30,40) des Emissionstyps aufweist, die an zwei geeigneten Stellen des Laufbandes angeordnet sind und mit einer Steuerkonsole (20) verbunden sind und dabei Luftsensorfelder (31,41) erzeugen, die einen speziellen Bereich abdekken, wobei die Bedienperson ein beliebiges beabsichtigtes Signal geben kann, das während der Laufübung durch den Sensor ermittelbar ist, woraufhin der Sensor einen Befehl an die Steuerkonsole (20) erteilt, einen vorgegebenen Steuervorgang auf das beabsichtigte Signal der Bedienperson hin über den gesteuerten Motor durchzuführen, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Sensorsätze und die Luftsensorfelder so angeordnet sind, dass sich das Luftsensorfeld nicht mit dem Laufübungsbereich auf der Stelle überschneidet.
  2. Verfahren nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass der Modus zur Durchführung eines vorgegebenen Steuervorgangs über den gesteuerten Motor und auf den Empfang eines beabsichtigten Signals der Bedienperson hin über die Steuerkonsole verfügbar ist und mit dieser verwendet wird
  3. Verfahren nach Anspruch 1 oder 2, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass eine Warnleuchte angeschaltet wird, wenn der Modus zur Durchführung eines vorgegebenen Steuervorgangs über den gesteuerten Motor auf den Empfang des beabsichtigten Signals der Bedienperson hin aktiviert wird.
  4. Verfahren nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass ein versteckter Lautsprecher an den Modus zur Durchführung eines vorgegebenen Steuervorgangs über den gesteuerten Motor und auf den Empfang eines beabsichtigten Signals der Bedienperson hin so eingestellt ist, dass Laute vorgegebener Lautstärke ausgegeben werden können, um die Bedienperson über den laufenden Betriebszustand zu informieren, wenn Signale ermittelt werden.
  5. Verfahren zur Steuerung eines elektrischen Laufbands (10) nach einem der vorhergehenden Ansprüche, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Laufband ferner einen aufrechten Rahmen (11), zwei Handleisten (12,13), einen Baisrahmen (14), einen Endlosriemen (15) und Bodenträgerelemente (16) enthält.
