Training device and training system
A training device includes, a cable that is paid out in response to movement of a user, a reel on which the cable is wound, a rotary encoder to detect a rotation state of the reel, a magneto-rheological fluid brake to apply a braking force to the reel, and a controller configured or programmed to calculate a stroke amount of the cable based on an output value of the rotary encoder and to control the braking force based on the stroke amount to change a magnitude of a load during the movement.
1 . A training device, comprising:
a cable that is paid out in response to movement of a user;
a measurer to measure a stroke amount of the cable;
a magneto-rheological fluid brake to apply a braking force to the cable; and
a controller configured or programmed to calculate the stroke amount of the cable based on an output value of the measurer and to control the braking force based on the stroke amount to change a magnitude of a load during the movement; wherein
the measurer includes a reel on which the cable is wound and a rotary encoder to detect a rotation state of the reel; and
the reel, the rotary encoder, and the magneto-rheological fluid brake are provided on a same rotating shaft.
2 . A training system, comprising:
the training device according to claim 1 ; and
a mover to move the training device; wherein
the controller is configured or programmed to adjust a position of the training device according to a physique of the user and a type of the movement.
3 . The training system according to claim 2 , further comprising an imager to capture an image of the user; wherein
the controller is configured or programmed to measure the physique of the user based on information from the imager.
4 . The training system according to claim 2 , further comprising an imager to capture an image of the user; wherein
the controller is configured or programmed to change the position of the training device during the movement, based on information from the imager.
5 . The training device according to claim 1 , further comprising a cable angle detector to detect a cable angle being an angle at which the cable is paid out; wherein
the controller is configured or programmed to control the braking force according to the stroke amount and the cable angle.
6 . A training system, comprising a plurality of the training devices according to claim 1 spaced apart from each other; wherein
the plurality of training devices cooperate to control a direction of the load.
