Hybrid resistance adjustment system
View Patent ↗A hybrid resistance adjustment system is used on an exercise bike which has a frame and a flywheel, and the hybrid resistance adjustment system has a resistance assembly, a manual adjustment assembly, and an electronic adjustment assembly. The resistance assembly is mounted on the frame and has a mounting seat pivotally connected to the frame, a brake pad and a magnetic set. The mounting seat is pivotally connected to the frame. The brake pad and the magnetic set are mounted on the mounting seat. The manual adjustment assembly is mounted on the frame and has a shaft. The electronic adjustment assembly is mounted on the frame and has a linearly movable component and a motor. The motor is connected to the linearly movable component. The shaft and the linearly movable component selectively push the mounting seat to simultaneously make the brake pad abut against the flywheel.
1. A hybrid resistance adjustment system used on an exercise bike which has a frame and a flywheel mounted on the frame, the hybrid resistance adjustment system comprising:
a resistance assembly mounted on the frame and having
a mounting seat pivotally connected to the frame;
a brake pad mounted on the mounting seat;
at least one magnetic set mounted on the mounting seat and each of the at least one magnetic set having two magnetic elements respectively located on opposite sides of the flywheel; and
a restoring spring mounted on the frame and connected to the mounting seat, the restoring spring being capable of driving the mounting seat to return to an original position;
a manual adjustment assembly mounted on the frame and having
a shaft being linearly movable to the frame and selectively pushing directly on the mounting seat of the resistance assembly to simultaneously make the brake pad abut against the flywheel and make the at least one magnetic set approach the flywheel; and
an electronic adjustment assembly mounted on the frame and having
a linearly movable component moving linearly relative to the frame; and
a motor connected to the linearly movable component and selectively driving the linearly movable component to move linearly and push directly on the mounting seat of the resistance assembly to simultaneously make the brake pad abut against the flywheel and make the at least one magnetic set approach the flywheel.
2. The hybrid resistance adjustment system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the mounting seat has
a front side;
a pivot point formed at the mounting seat, which is pivotally connected to the frame; and
a rear side, the rear side and the front side oppositely defined on the mounting seat, and the pivot point defined between the rear side and the front side, and
the shaft abuts against the front side of the mounting seat and the linearly movable component abuts against the rear side of the mounting seat.
3. The hybrid resistance adjustment system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mounting seat has a front side, and the shaft and the linearly movable component abut against the front side of the mounting seat.
