Exercise equipmentTechnical field
[01] the present invention relates to exercise equipment.
Background technology
[02] no matter exercise equipment is to use for gymnasium or Outpatient Hall collective, or household person uses, and all is an ever-increasing market.Along with the aging of sedentary lifestyle, population and other factors such as more and more higher fat and carbohydrate diet, make body-building have certain benefit, the trainer that can make the user carry out abundant body-building with time and efforts still less has more value.
[03] produce effect most, and the exercise equipment that obtains the public and expert approval most is the exercise equipment that has shaking platform, for example the equipment delivered of international patent application document WO 2006/045213A1.Described exercise equipment comprises a shaking platform, and the user can stand or sit down and train on described shaking platform, perhaps is fixed for the annex of training thereon.The oscillating movement of platform can be trained muscle, the muscle of shank, hip and shoulder especially, and relatively lessly bear cardiovascular load.In described equipment, the oscillating movement of platform centers on the horizontal rotational shaft start by eccentric weight.Yet the exercise equipment shortcoming of described type is, only can produce basic oscillating movement on unique vertical axis.In addition, Oscillation Amplitude depends on user's body weight, position and frequency thereof, and the intrinsic frequency of platform-user system.
[04] exercise equipment of another type, the equipment delivered of international patent application document WO 98/08478 for example, it comprises:
[05]-platform,
[06]-base,
[07]-and support, it is mounted to respect to described base and swings by a horizontal axis, and described platform is installed on the described support, and
[08]-and the actuation mechanism of oscillating motion, it makes described support carry out the periodic wobble motion around described horizontal axis.
[09] because along with the oscillating motion platform moves at each side direction rightabout, the shank and the hip that therefore stand in the user on the platform can obtain the bigger muscular training of intensity.In addition, swing mechanism can also obtain more constant motion amplitude, and this amplitude does not depend on user's the body weight or the frequency of motion.Yet, described device still only can be trained the user on a basic vertical direction muscle.
[10] the objective of the invention is to improve the effect and the flexibility of equipment, especially aspect the muscular training of hip and waist.

[16] preferably, the described actuation mechanism of oscillating motion can comprise at least one eccentric element, it is installed on the axostylus axostyle of a basic horizontal by off-centre, be arranged on described base or support one, and contact with another the part in described support or the base, the axis of oscillation of the described relatively support of described part separates.In this way, can adopt a rotary actuator easily, thereby by described actuation mechanism, the periodic wobble of driving arm.Yet, also can select as required to use, for example use another kind of actuation mechanism as the reversible actuator of linear electric motors or cylinder piston.
[17] preferably, described at least one eccentric element is the rotation roller.Yet the technical staff also can consider other selection as required, for example a connecting rod of WO 98/08478 proposition.
[18] preferably, described roller comprises elastomeric material.This can guarantee the constant contact on its rolling surface, thus restraint, and the service life of increase equipment.
[19] preferably, the actuation mechanism of described oscillating motion comprises at least two described eccentric elements, lays respectively at the both sides of described horizontal hunting axis.This can also limit its activity in actuation mechanism, and therefore increases its service life.
[20] preferably, the actuation mechanism of oscillating motion can comprise at least one spin balancing counterweight, thus the oscillating motion of balance bracket.This can pass through the level of vibration of its base transmission by reduction equipment, and need not to use additional vibration absorber, and need not to increase extra base weight.
[21] preferably, each actuation mechanism comprises an engine independently, is preferably motor.In this way, two kinds of motions can be controlled respectively easily.
[22] or, one of described actuation mechanism comprises an engine, is preferably motor, but described exercise equipment also comprises the transmission device of a clutch between described actuation mechanism.In this way, can use unique engine, make on its base that preferably is set at described equipment, thereby make it bear a confined level of vibration, increase its service life thus, and the weight during to equipment moving and the vibration that therefore is transferred on the base limit to some extent.
