Description

POWER-SAVING DRIVING METHOD OF VERTICAL VIBRATION TRAINING MACHINE

Technical Field

[1] The present disclosure relates to a power-saving driving method of a vertical vibration training machine; and, more particularly, to a power-saving driving method of a vertical vibration training machine for minimizing a consumed power of the vertical vibration training machine in accordance with a mass of a user. Background Art

[2] Recently, overweight people continuously increase because of excessive consumption of high-calorie foods. Obesity is regarded as a main cause for various adult diseases, such as heart disease, hypertension, diabetes or the likes. In addition, it is known that the obesity is associated with surgical diseases such as arthritis.

[3] As well as the overweight people, general public is recommended for aerobic training in order to maintain their health. To this end, various kinds of training machines that support aerobic training have been proposed.

[4] As a training machine that reduces shock applied to joints while supporting the aerobic training, vertical vibration training machines have been proposed.

[5] After a user gets on a vibrating plate of the vertical vibration training machine, the apparatus is driven to vibrate a footboard up and down, so as to stimulate fat and muscles of the user. As a result, the fat is decreased, and the muscles are augmented.

[6] FIG. 8 is a perspective view illustrating a conventional vertical vibration training machine.

[7] The vertical vibration training machine includes an L-shaped frame 70, a vibrating plate 72 installed on a lower end of the frame 70, a handle 74 at an upper end of the frame 70 for safe training, and a display 76 for displaying driving conditions. Moreover, under the vibrating plate 72, there is provided a vibration generating device that uses a single phase permanent motor.

[8] However, since the vertical vibration training machine requires a vertical vibration of large scale in order to obtain a sufficient exercise effect, it has a problem of consuming a large amount of power for obtaining the effect.

[9] Moreover, since the conventional vertical vibration training machine is manufactured to be always operated by a certain amount of current regardless of user's mass, the power of the training machine is equally consumed regardless of user's mass as well.

[10] That is, although the driving current for minimizing the consumed power of the vertical vibration training machine varies in accordance with user's mass, the con- ventional vertical vibration training machine is operated by a certain amount of current regardless of user's mass. Accordingly, the conventional vertical vibration training machine has a problem of unnecessary power consumption. Disclosure of Invention

Mode for the Invention

[31] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that the present invention may be readily implemented by those skilled in the art. However, it is to be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments but can be realized in various other ways. In the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted for the simplicity of explanation, and like reference numerals denote like parts through the whole document.

[32] Now, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a theory for calculating an optimized driving current for minimizing a consumed power of a vertical vibration training machine will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[33] Fig. 1 is a circuit diagram illustrating a single-phase permanent magnet motor for driving a vertical vibration training machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

[34] Dynamics of an electric system for the single-phase permanent magnet motor will be expressed by Equations (1) and (2) below.

(i)

(2) [37] Herein, L denotes inductance of the motor, R denotes phase resistance, v_E denotes counter electromotive force, V denotes an applied voltage, and I denotes a winding current. [38] Fig. 2 is a view illustrating a mechanic system of the vertical vibration training machine.

[39] Dynamics of the mechanical system will be expressed by Equation (3) below.

(3)

[41] Herein, M denotes a load mass including a mass of a user getting on the vertical vibration training machine, B denotes viscosity load constant, k denotes a modulus of elasticity of a spring, g denotes gravitational acceleration, and x denotes an absolute position with respect to an inertial system.

[42] When the vertical vibration training machine is stop, a force acting by the gravitational acceleration and a restoring force of the spring are in counterpoise. In this instance, a balanced position X₀ will be expressed by Equation (4) below.

[43] k X ₀=Mg

(4)

[44] Furthermore, supposing that the position x is replaced by a relative position with respect to the balanced position and the load takes sinusoidal motion of a predetermined amplitude at the balanced position, the position x will satisfy Equation (5) below.

^[45] x=Asin(wi)

(5) [46] In this instance, Equations (4) and (5) are substituted for Equation (3) to obtain a current value for time, by which the result will be expressed by Equation (6) below.

[48] And then, equation (6) is differentiated, which will obtain Equation (7) below.

(7) [50] Moreover, Equation (8) below will be given by using Equations (2) and (5).

^[51] vE=KAwcos(wi)

(8)

[52] In this instance, if Equations (6), (7) and (8) are substituted for Equation (1), a phase voltage V will be expressed by Equation (9) below. t⁵³] 1 . , , sin(w/)

[54] (9)

[55] And then, an instant power consumption will be expressed by Equation (10) below by using Equations (6) and (9).

(10) [57] And then, an average power consumption during a period of time will be expressed by Equation (11) below by using Equation (10). [58]

(H)

[59] Thus, in case that the training machine vibrates at the same amplitude, a consumed power can be minimized when a vibrating frequency is satisfied with Equation (12) below in accordance with Equation (11).

(12) [61] That is, in case that system constants are known in advance, even if only a load mass including a mass of a user getting on the vertical vibration training machine is given, an optimized driving frequency for minimizing a consumed power can be calculated from Equation (12). [62] Furthermore, a load mass M can be estimated by measuring the balanced position of a user (vibrating plate) of the vertical vibration training machine in accordance with

Equation (4).

^[63] k

M= — x ₀ S

(13) [64] That is, if the position of the user is measured while the vertical vibration training machine is stopped, the load mass M can be calculated by Equation (13). [65] Moreover, the optimized driving frequency will be expressed by Equation (14) below by using Equations (12) and (13).

(14) [67] Furthermore, the optimized driving current can be expressed by Equation (15) below by using Equations (14) and (6).

(15)

[69] Furthermore, the optimized driving current can be also expressed by Equation (16) below by using Equations (15) and (13).

(16)

[71] Therefore, the vertical vibration training machine can save the consumed power by calculating the optimized driving current for minimizing the consumed power in ac- cordance with the above methods.

[72] Hereinafter, a power-saving driving method of the vertical vibration training machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[73] Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a process of the power-saving driving method of the vertical vibration training machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

[74] At a position information detecting step SlOO, when the user gets on the vibrating plate of the vertical vibration training machine, position information of the user (vibrating plate), e.g., a balanced position, is detected by a position sensor.

[75] That is, a position change of the vibrating plate is measured by comparing a position of the vibrating plate before the user gets on and a position of the vibrating plate after the user gets on.

[76] Then, at a mass calculating step S200, a load mass including a mass of a user is calculated by using Equation (13) above, based on the position information of the vibrating plate detected at the position information detecting step SlOO.

[77] Thereafter, at an optimized driving frequency calculating step S300, an optimized driving frequency for minimizing a consumed power is calculated by using Equation (12) above, based on the load mass calculated at the mass calculating step S200.

[78] Then, at an optimized driving current calculating step S400, an optimized driving current for minimizing a consumed power is calculated by using Equation (6) above, based on the optimized driving frequency calculated at the optimized driving frequency calculating step S300.

[79] Thereafter, at an optimized driving current applying step S500, the optimized driving current calculated at the optimized driving current calculating step S400 is applied to a driving unit of the vertical vibration training machine.

[80] In accordance with other embodiment of the present invention, after the position information is detected at the position information detecting step 100, it is possible to directly perform the optimized driving current calculating step S400 without performing the mass calculating step S200 and the optimized driving frequency calculating step S300.

[81] That is, the optimized driving current can be directly calculated by using Equation

(16) above, based on the value of the balanced position calculated at the position information detecting step 100.

[82] In accordance with other embodiment of the present invention, after the position information is detected at the position information detecting step 100 and the load mass including a mass of a user is calculated at the mass calculating step 200 based on the position information, it is possible to directly perform the optimized driving current calculating step S400 without performing the optimized driving frequency calculating step S300.

[83] That is, the optimized driving current can be directly calculated by using Equation

(16) above, based on the value of the load mass calculated at the mass calculating step 200.

[84] Furthermore, in accordance with other embodiment of the present invention, the optimized driving frequency or the optimized driving current can be calculated based on a detected value of the load mass which is detected by using other methods (for example, by using an electronic scale) without using the position sensor 20 for detecting position information of a user.

[85] Hereinafter, a power-saving driving apparatus of the vertical vibration training machine is illustrated in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

[86] Fig. 4 is a block diagram schematically illustrating a configuration of a power-saving driving apparatus of the vertical vibration training machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

[87] The vertical vibration training machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes a vibrating plate 10, a position sensor 20, a control unit 30, a driving unit 40, and a user interface 50.

[88] The vibrating plate 10 serves as a foothold and vibrates up and down by a driving power applied from the driving unit 40.

[89] The position sensor 20 detects vertical position information of the vibrating plate 10.

When a user rides on the vibrating plate 10, the position sensor 20 measures the position information of the user, e.g., a balanced position, and transmits the value of the balanced position to the control unit 30.

[90] The control unit 30 calculates the optimized driving current based on the transmitted value of the balanced position, and applies the calculated driving current to the driving unit 40.

[91] The driving unit 40 vibrates the vibrating plate 10 by using the optimized driving current supplied from the control unit 30. It is desirable that the driving unit 40 is a linear motor.

[92] The user interface 50 is a means for allowing a user to set up various functions supported by the vertical vibration training machine. For example, the user can control intensity or a frequency of a vibration by using the user interface 50.

[93] Fig. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed configuration of the control unit 30 of the power-saving driving apparatus of the vertical vibration training machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention

[94] A mass calculating unit 32 calculates a load mass M by using Equation (13) based on the balanced position X₀ transmitted from the position sensor 20 and transmits the calculated load mass M to an optimized driving frequency calculating unit 34. [95] The optimized driving frequency calculating unit 34 calculates an optimized driving frequency ω for minimizing a consumed power by using Equation (12) based on the load mass M transmitted from the mass calculating unit 32.

[96] An optimized driving current calculating unit 36 calculates an optimized driving current F by using Equation (6) based on the optimized driving frequency ω transmitted from the optimized driving frequency calculating unit, and transmits the calculated driving current I^* to a current applying unit 38.

[97] The current applying unit 38 inverts the driving current to the optimized driving current F transmitted from the optimized driving current calculating unit 36, and applies the driving current to the driving unit 40. Preferably, the current applying unit 38 is a single-phase inverter.

[98] In accordance with other embodiment of the present invention, the balanced position

X₀ detected by the position sensor 20 can be directly transmitted to the optimized driving current calculating unit 36 without passing through the mass calculating unit 32 and the optimized driving frequency calculating unit 34. In this case, the optimized driving current F is calculated by using Equation (16) based on the balanced position x o.

[99] Moreover, in accordance with other embodiment of the present invention, the load mass M calculated by the mass calculating unit 32 can be transmitted to the optimized driving current calculating unit 36 without passing through the optimized driving frequency calculating unit 34. In this case, the optimized driving current F is calculated by using Equation (15) based on the load mass M.

[100] Furthermore, in accordance with other embodiment of the present invention, after the load mass M is calculated by using other methods (for example, by using an electronic scale) without using the position sensor 20, the optimized driving frequency ω can be calculated by using Equation (12) or the optimized driving current can be calculated by using Equation (15), based on the detected load mass M.

[101] Until now, the methods of calculating the optimized driving frequency and the optimized driving current have been described in a state of not driving the vertical vibration training machine. However, the present invention can also detect the optimized driving frequency and the optimized driving current by detecting the variation of the load mass, even in case that the load mass changes while driving and vibrating the vertical vibration training machine.

[102] In case that the vertical vibration training machine has a vertical sinusoidal motion by the input voltage of equation (9), the position of the user (vibrating plate) has a sinusoidal motion of Equation (5) based on the balanced position.

[103] Thus, after the position value of the user is measured by the position sensor 20, the position value is integrated during one period of time and is averaged, so that the balanced position can be calculated by Equation (17) below.

(17)

[105] That is, in accordance with Equation (17), the average value of the position during a period of time is equal to the value of the balanced position.

[106] Thus, the vertical vibration training machine can save the power, by detecting the change of the load mass during an operation thereof and calculating the optimized driving frequency or the optimized driving current.

[107] Hereinafter, the position sensor 20 is illustrated in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

[108] Fig. 6 illustrates a detailed configuration of the position sensor 20 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

[109] The position sensor 20 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes a light emitting part 12, a light receiving part 14, an operational amplifier 16, and a filter 18.

[110] The light emitting part 12 radiates a light (e.g., infrared rays) onto the vibrating plate 10, and the light receiving part 14 receives the light reflected from the vibrating plate 10.

[I l l] The light receiving part 14 measures a quantity of light (light intensity) of the infrared rays reflected by the vibrating plate 10, and changes an output current in accordance with the measured light intensity.

[112] That is, the light receiving part 14 outputs the output current in proportion to the light intensity of the reflected infrared rays. Since the light intensity of the reflected infrared rays is inversely proportional to a distance between the vibrating plate 10 and the position sensor 20, the output current of the position sensor 20 becomes a function of distance, as shown in Fig. 7.

[113] The position sensor 20 can detect a position of the vibrating plate 10 by using such relationship. In this case, it is desirable that the light emitting part 12 includes an infrared diode, and the light receiving part 14 includes an infrared transistor. In the case in which the light emitting part 12 is composed of the infrared diode and the light receiving part 14 is composed of the infrared transistor, it is possible to compose the position sensor 20 inexpensively.

[114] The operational amplifier 16 amplifies the output current transmitted from the light receiving part 14, and transmits the result to the filter 18. The filter 18 eliminates a noise component from the output current transmitted from the operational amplifier, and transmits the result to the control unit 30 of the vertical vibration training machine. [115] Meanwhile, stored in a database (not shown) is a table, which contains light intensity values and corresponding distances between the vibrating plate 10 and the position sensor 20. That is, in the table, each light intensity value of the infrared rays received by the light receiving part 14 of the position sensor 20 is stored with a corresponding distance between the vibrating plate 10 and the position sensor 20.

[116] Thus, the control unit 30 of the vertical vibration training machine can read the distance between the vibrating plate 10 and the position sensor 20 based on the light intensity of the infrared rays received from the light receiving part to obtain the position information of the vibrating plate 10.

[117] The scope of the present invention is defined by the following claims rather than by the detailed description of the embodiment. It shall be understood that all modifications and embodiments conceived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents are included in the scope of the present invention.
