Description

Sports equipment with a control interface located on the handlebars

The present invention relates to a sports equipment, and more specifically, the present invention relates to a sports equipment having a control interface disposed on a handle.

Generally speaking, treadmills, exercise bikes, elliptical machines, stair machines, steppers, rowing machines, weight training devices, and other common sports equipment all have handles for users to hold during exercise. The aforementioned handlebars can be roughly divided into the following four categories according to their type and main function: first, fixed handlebars for people to hold on to stabilize the body and avoid falling, such as the handlebars at the front or both sides of a treadmill or stair machine; second, fixed handlebars for people to hold on to stabilize the upper body and assist the movement of the lower body, such as the handlebars at the front of an upright bike or the handlebars on both sides of the seat of a recumbent bike; third, movable handlebars for people to selectively hold on to for additional exercise during exercise, such as the handlebars that can swing back and forth on most elliptical machines; fourth, movable handlebars for people to hold on to during exercise, such as the handlebars of a rowing machine. Some sports equipment may have two or more handlebars. For example, a recumbent bicycle usually has two fixed handlebars (located at the front of the bicycle and on both sides of the seat), and an elliptical trainer may have one fixed handlebar and one movable handlebar.

In previous sports equipment, the handles are not only used for users to hold during exercise, but also provided with control buttons for users to control the operating parameters of the sports equipment.

For example, a treadmill has a running belt for the user to run or walk, an indoor bicycle or elliptical machine has a pedal mechanism for the user to step, a stair machine has a step mechanism for the user to climb stairs, and so on. The motion mechanisms of various sports equipment belong to the technical background of this field, and the details will not be described in this manual.

The sports equipment applicable to the present invention has at least one handle assembly for the user to hold during exercise. For example, the fixed handle at the front of a treadmill or the fixed handle at the front top of a stair machine allows the user to hold it when walking, jogging or climbing stairs; the fixed handle at the front of an upright or reclining bicycle, the fixed handles on both sides of the seat of a reclining bicycle, or the fixed handle at the front of an elliptical machine allows the user to hold it during exercise. In the preferred embodiment, the aforementioned touch screen can be integrated on the upper fixed handle to replace the physical control button. In other embodiments, the aforementioned touch screen may also be provided on a movable handlebar, such as a movable handlebar at the front of an elliptical machine for the user to grasp during leg exercise to accompany hand push and pull exercise, or a handlebar of a rowing machine for the user to grasp during rowing exercise. Sports equipment applicable to the present invention may have two or more sets of handlebars with the same or different functions. For example, a recumbent bicycle has two sets of fixed handlebars respectively provided at the front end of the bicycle and on both sides of the seat, and an elliptical machine has one set of fixed handlebars and one set of movable handlebars.

FIG. 1 depicts the appearance of a sports equipment 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The sports equipment 10 comprises a frame 20, a sports mechanism 30, a handle assembly 40 for a user to hold during exercise, and a console 50 as a human-machine interface. The sports mechanism 10 has a movable element that is movable when a user performs a specific exercise. As shown in FIG. 1 , the sports equipment 10 of the present invention is based on an elliptical machine. Accordingly, the sports mechanism 30 comprises a pedal mechanism for a user to perform elliptical machine exercise. The handle assembly 40 is disposed on the top of the frame 20, so that the handle assembly 40 is located at the front upper part of the sports equipment 10, so that the user can extend both hands forward to hold the handle assembly 40 when performing elliptical machine exercise. The console 50 is also disposed on the top of the frame 20 and is coupled to the handle assembly 40 to allow the user to interact with the sports equipment 10.

Please refer to Figure 2. The handle assembly 40 has a pair of operating handles for the user to grasp with both hands when performing the aforementioned movement. The operating handles include a first operating handle 41 and a second operating handle 42 that are symmetrically arranged. In the present preferred embodiment, the two operating handles 41, 42 are arranged at the rear end of the handle assembly 40 and form a U-shaped structure. Specifically, the two operating handles 41, 42 each have a small screen arranged at one end of the corresponding operating handle. In the present preferred embodiment, the first operating handle 41 has a first screen arranged at the top thereof, forming a first control interface 43; the second operating handle 42 has a second screen arranged at the top thereof, forming a second control interface 44. The first control interface 43 and the second control interface 44 are touch screens, which allow the user to input commands through the first control interface 43 and/or the second control interface 44 to control the operating parameters of the sports equipment 10. For example, the first control interface 43 and the second control interface 44 may provide analog buttons corresponding to the position of the user's thumb, so that the user can input commands to control the operating parameters of the sports equipment 10. Furthermore, the two operating handles 41 and 42 each have a gripping portion 45 for the user to grip during exercise, and a heart rate sensor 46 for detecting the user's heart rate provided on the gripping portion 45 of the corresponding operating handle 41/42. In the preferred embodiment, the two control interfaces 43 and 44 can be used to display the user's physiological information (such as heart rate) during exercise.

Incidentally, the handle assembly 40 may have a second pair of handles at the front end thereof as auxiliary handles, so that the user can choose to hold or not hold the first pair of operating handles or the second pair of auxiliary handles at any time according to needs during exercise, but this is not a limitation in the present invention. In fact, most sports equipment may only have one pair of handles for users to hold.

As shown in FIG. 2 , the first control interface 43 and the second control interface 44 are electrically connected to a control unit 60. The control unit 60 is configured to receive and process commands from the two control interfaces 43 and 44, and control the operating parameters of the sports equipment 10 when receiving commands from the user. In the preferred embodiment, the control unit 60 includes a microcontroller unit (MCU), at least one electronic circuit, and at least one circuit board. In other embodiments, the control unit 60 may be a computer processing system, which includes a hardware assembly, a software assembly, and/or a firmware assembly, capable of processing electrical signals from the two control interfaces 43 and 44 in a predetermined manner.

The console 50 has a display device 51 for displaying information to the user, such as an LCD (liquid crystal display) or LED (light emitting diode) display device. The display device 51 is provided to display a variety of information, including but not limited to the user's exercise program, the current speed of the exercise mechanism 30, the distance the user has traveled on the exercise equipment 10, the time the user has exercised, the user's physical function (such as heart rate), the resistance level of the exercise mechanism 30, the calories burned, etc. In addition to exercise information, the display device 51 may be used to display video content, such as digital videos, cable or wireless television, music videos, news, movies, and/or training videos of users performing exercises. In some embodiments, video content and exercise information may be displayed simultaneously, or the user may switch between the two.

In the preferred embodiment, the display device 51 is electrically connected to the control unit 60, so that the display device 51 can communicate with the first control interface 43 and the second control interface 44. Thus, the first control interface 43 and/or the second control interface 44 can provide input options for controlling the functions of the display device 51 to control the selection of video content, volume output, etc. In addition, some information or signals displayed on the display device 51 can also be displayed on one or both of the control interfaces 43, 44, for example, timer information can be displayed on the two control interfaces 43, 44.

1 and 2, the sports device 10 includes a crank mechanism 31 disposed on the frame 20, and a pedal mechanism 32 connected to the crank mechanism 31, so that the rotation of the crank mechanism 31 drives the pedal mechanism 32 to move on a predetermined path. In the preferred embodiment, the sports device 10 has a difficulty changing device 70 configured to change the difficulty level of the sports device 30. The difficulty changing device 70 is electrically connected to the control unit 60, so that the control unit 60 can immediately control the difficulty changing device 70 according to a difficulty request command (e.g., requesting an increase or decrease in difficulty, or requesting a specific level) input by the user through the first control interface 43 or the second control interface 44, or sequentially control the difficulty changing device 70 according to a motion program including a time setting item and a difficulty setting item, so as to change the difficulty level of the motion mechanism 30 during the motion. The control unit 60 can control the display device 51 to display the difficulty information of the motion.

In the case of the elliptical machine shown in FIG1 , the difficulty changing device 70 is a resistance device that can apply a predetermined resistance to the motion mechanism 30 (including the crank mechanism 31 and the pedal mechanism 32). For example, the resistance device may include but is not limited to an eddy current brake (ECB), a generator brake, a friction brake, a water resistance device, or a wind resistance device for generating resistance. The difficulty or intensity of the pedaling movement increases or decreases as the resistance increases or decreases. In this way, the force required to drive the motion mechanism 30 can be set, that is, the difficulty level of the exercise can be set. In the case of other sports equipment, for example, the difficulty changing device of a treadmill for running or walking is usually a driving device for driving the running belt to rotate at a predetermined speed or driving the running platform to change the inclination angle; the difficulty or intensity of the aforementioned running or walking movement increases or decreases with the increase or decrease of the aforementioned running belt speed or the aforementioned inclination angle; in addition, the difficulty changing device of a stair machine is usually a resistance device that can apply a predetermined resistance to the stair mechanism; when the resistance applied to the stair machine increases or decreases, the descending speed of the stairs will slow down or speed up, thereby reducing or increasing the difficulty or intensity of the stair climbing movement; and so on. However, the structure and operation of the aforementioned resistance device are well-known prior arts in the field and are not described in detail in the present invention.

Please refer to FIG1 . The pedal mechanism 32 has two pedals 33 which can be driven to move along a closed path when the crank mechanism 31 rotates. In the preferred embodiment, the closed path of the two pedals 33 can be adjusted by a tilt adjustment mechanism 80. Please refer to the elliptical machine shown in FIG1 . The frame 20 includes a fixed frame 21 and a support frame 22 which can be adjusted relative to the fixed frame 21. The pedal mechanism 32 is supported by the support frame 22 so that the two pedals 33 of the pedal mechanism 32 can move along the closed path. The support frame 22 can be adjusted by the tilt adjustment mechanism 80 to move forward or backward to change the tilt angle of the closed path. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , the front end of the support frame 22 can be adjusted by the tilt adjustment mechanism 80 to move forward to reduce the tilt angle of the closed path, or move backward to increase the tilt angle of the closed path, so that the movement path of the two pedals 33 of the movement mechanism 30 can be changed to provide a variety of movement paths for the user.

In the preferred embodiment, the two control interfaces 43 and 44 of the handle assembly 40 are provided to allow the user to interact with the sports equipment 10. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the electronic function of the handle assembly 40. The first control interface 43 and the second control interface 44 are interconnected with the control unit 60, and the control unit 60 is electrically connected to the display device 51, the difficulty changing device 70, and the tilt adjustment mechanism 80, so that the first control interface 43 and/or the second control interface 44 can be used to control the function of the display device 51, the difficulty level of the sports action (such as the resistance level), and the tilt angle of the sports path.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , one of the two control interfaces 43 and 44 has a user verification unit 90 configured for identity verification. For example, the first control interface 43 can be coupled to the user verification unit 90 to allow the user to pair with the sports equipment 10 so that the user can obtain sports data from the sports equipment 10.
