Exercise mechanism for training machine
An exercise mechanism for a training machine is disclosed wherein the training machine includes a machine base and at least one handle which is operable to swing. The exercise mechanism includes at least one support and a rotary disk, wherein the at least one support is pivotally connected to the machine base and has a first end and a second end which are respectively on two sides of a portion pivoted to the machine base; the at least one support moves to generate a relative up and down displacement between the first end and the second end when the handle swings; the first end is pivotally connected to the machine base via a linkage assembly; the rotary disk would be driven to rotate when the second end moves whereby the exercise mechanism is capable of operating the training machine.
1. An exercise mechanism for a training machine, wherein the training machine includes a machine base and at least one handle which is operable to swing, the exercise mechanism comprising:
at least one support, being pivotally connected to the machine base and having a first end and a second end which are respectively on two sides of a portion pivoted to the machine base;
a rotary disk; wherein the first end and the second end of the at least one support move to generate a relative up and down displacement when the handle swings; the first end is pivotally connected to the machine base via a linkage assembly; the rotary disk would be driven to rotate when the second end moves;
a swing member and a first belt, wherein the swing member is pivotally connected to the machine base; the first belt has two ends with one of the two ends connected to the second end of the support and the other end of the two ends connected to the swing member; the rotate disk is driven to rotate by the first belt; and
a shaft and at least one gear, wherein the shaft passes through the machine base and the rotary disk; the at least one gear is fit around one end of the shaft; the first belt is in contact with the at least one gear.
2. The exercise mechanism of claim 1 , further comprising a first resistance unit adapted to provide a resistance to the swinging of the at least one support.
3. The exercise mechanism of claim 2 , wherein the first resistance unit includes a spring; one end of the spring is connected to the at least one support, and another end of the spring is connected to the machine base.
4. The exercise mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the first end is closer to the user than the second end.
5. The exercise mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the linkage assembly includes a first link and a second link; one end of the first link is pivotally connected to the first end of the at least one support; the second link is pivotally connected to the machine base; the first link and the second link are pivotally connected with each other.
6. The exercise mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the second link includes a vertical rod with a cross rod; one end of the vertical rod is pivotally connected to the first link, and another end of the vertical rod is connected to a body of the cross rod; one end of the cross rod is pivotally connected to the machine base, and another end of the cross rod is disposed with a pedal.
7. The exercise mechanism of claim 1 , further comprising a second resistance unit disposed on the machine base, wherein the second resistance unit includes a flywheel and a second belt; the second belt is adapted to connect the rotary disk with the flywheel.
