Running machine with novel supporting structure

Abstract

The invention provides a running machine with a novel supporting structure. The machine comprises a base and a round foot pedal installed on the base, as well as a supporting structure, a drive device and a control system, wherein the supporting structure comprises a first supporting part vertically installed on the base, a second supporting part connected to the top of the first supporting part and a waist fixation mechanism hinged on the second supporting part, and direction sensors are disposed on the second supporting part and the waist fixation mechanism; the drive mechanism is connected to the first supporting part, and the drive device is installed on the outer edge of the base and can be moved along the outer edge of the base; and the control system is connected to the drive device and the direction sensors, the direction sensors are used to detect the direction offset amount of the waist fixation mechanism relative to the second supporting part, and the control system controls the drive device to drive the first supporting part and the second supporting part to conduct circumferential motion along the outer edge of the base according to the direction offset amount. According to the invention, fixation and supporting effects are better; a user feels more comfortable during motion; occupied space is small; cost is lower; and mobility is higher.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fitness equipment, in particular to the technical field of omnidirectional treadmills, and more specifically to a treadmill with a novel supporting structure. Background technique [0002] The omnidirectional treadmill is designed to be used with a virtual reality helmet to allow users to roam freely in the virtual space. [0003] The so-called passive omnidirectional treadmill is an omnidirectional treadmill with a non-moving floor, which is relative to an active treadmill with a movable floor. [0004] Because the floor does not move, when the human body uses a passive treadmill, the friction between its feet and the treadmill ground cannot be avoided. At this time, the human body is in an abnormal motion state, and a mechanical support is needed to assist the human body to maintain balance, and Confine the human body in place and prevent the human body from stepping out of the treadmill. [0005] The present i...

Problems solved by technology

Although its column-free structure ensures a relatively sufficient exercise space, its high-hanging characteristics make its support not stable enough. Users will shake left and right when exercising, and the suspension mechanism causes the center of gravity of the treadmill to be too high, which requires Increase the weight of the base of the treadmill to stabilize the body, which is bulky, heavy, and inconvenient to move
