Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to Taiwanese Invention Patent Application No. 112129558, filed on Aug. 7, 2023, and incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.


FIELD

The disclosure relates to an exercise machine, and more particularly to a bike trainer.


BACKGROUND

Referring to FIG. 9, a conventional bike trainer as disclosed in Taiwanese Invention Patent Publication No. TW201306903A includes a base seat 100, a support frame 110 that is fixedly connected to the base seat 100, and a transmission mechanism 200 this is disposed on the support frame 110 and that is adapted for attachment to a bicycle (not shown) of a user (not shown).


When the user is seated on the bicycle and begins training, the user will pedal the bicycle, thereby causing the bicycle to slightly sway to the left or to the right. However, because the support frame 11 is directly fixed to the base seat 10, the support frame 11 will rigidly restrict the amount of sway of the bicycle, which may cause discomfort to the user. Additionally, under prolonged use an area of the base seat 10 where the support frame 11 connects to the base seat 10 is frequently under mechanical stress which may cause damage or deformation. Therefore the conventional bike trainer has the problem of short service life.


SUMMARY

Therefore, an object of the disclosure is to provide a bike trainer that can alleviate at least one of the drawbacks of the prior art.


According to the disclosure, the bike trainer includes a base seat, a swing member, a shock absorber unit, and an accessory structure. The base seat unit includes a first seat body, a second seat body, and an axle member. The first seat body extends lengthwise in a left-right direction. The second seat body is connected to the first seat body in a front-rear direction that is perpendicular to the left-right direction. The axle member has two opposite ends, is disposed in the second seat body, extends away from the second seat body in the front-rear direction along an axis, and is rotatable relative to the second seat body in an anti-clockwise direction or a clockwise direction. The swing member includes a main body, a first wing portion, and a second wing portion. The main body is non-rotatably connected to one of the opposite ends of the axle member and is located in the first seat body at a position that is spaced apart from an inner surface of the first seat body in a top-bottom direction that is perpendicular to the left-right direction and the front-rear direction. The first wing portion is connects to the main body and extends away therefrom in the left-right direction, and is spaced apart from the inner surface of the first seat body in the top-bottom direction. The second wing portion connects to the main body and extends therefrom in the left-right direction away from the first wing portion, and is spaced apart from the inner surface of the first seat body in the top-bottom direction. The shock absorber unit includes a first elastic member, and a second elastic member. The first elastic member is located between the inner surface of the first seat body and the first wing portion. The second elastic member is located between the inner surface of the first seat body and the second wing portion. The accessory structure is connected to the other one of the opposite ends of the axle member that is away from the second seat body, is adapted to provide resistance to an exercise performed by the user. When the accessory structure sways, the axle member rotates alternately leftward and rightward, and the swing member swings between a left-leaning position and a right-leaning position relative to the first seat body. When the swing member is in the left-leaning position the first wing portion is closer to the inner surface of the first seat body than the second wing portion and the first wing portion compresses the first elastic member to generate a biasing force acting on the swing member in the clockwise direction. When the swing member is in the right-leaning position the second wing portion is closer to the inner surface of the first seat body than the first wing portion, and the second wing portion compresses the second elastic member to generate a biasing force acting on the swing member in the anti-clockwise direction.

The number of second elastic members 42 is greater than the number of first elastic members 41. However, the number of the first and second elastic members 41, 42 are not limited to that disclosed. In some embodiments, the number of the first elastic members 41 may be equal to the number of the second elastic members 42. In some embodiments, there may be more than one first elastic member 41. It should be noted that the number of the first tapped hole 111 and the number of the first hole 321 of the first wing portion 32 may correspond to the number of the first elastic member 41, and the number of the second tapped hole 112 and the number of the second hole 331 of the second wing portion 33 may correspond to the number of the second elastic member 42.


The shell cover 5 covers the first and second seat bodies 11, 12, the swing member 3 and the shock absorber unit 4 and is secured to the second seat body 12 via screws.


Referring to FIGS. 1 and 6, the two support rods 15 are movable between an unfolded position and a folded position. In the unfolded position, the free ends 152 of the support rods 15 are distal to the accessory structure 2, the base seat unit 1 is approximately in a V-shape, and the base seat unit 1 and the free ends 152 are seated on a floor or the ground and the bike trainer is ready for use. In the folded position, the free ends 152 of the support rods 15 are proximate to the accessory structure 2, the base seat unit 1 is approximately in an I-shape, and the bike trainer is in a compact size which facilitates storage.


Referring to FIGS. 4, 7 and 8, when the bike trainer is in use, and the user (not shown) is pedaling the bicycle 6, the bicycle 6 may sway, bringing the accessory structure 2 of the bike trainer to sway. When the accessory structure 2 sways, the mounting bar 21 together with the axle member 14 rotates alternately leftward and rightward, and the swing member 3 swings between a left-leaning position and a right-leaning position relative to the first seat body 11. When the user stops pedaling the bicycle, the swing member 3 will gradually return to a balanced position relative to the first seat body 11.


Referring to FIG. 4, when the swing member 3 is in the balanced position, the first wing portion 32 and the second wing portion 33 are approximately equidistant to the inner bottom surface of the first seat body 11, and the first wing portion 32 and the second wing portion 33 respectively do not compress the first elastic member 41 and the second elastic member 42.


Referring to FIG. 7, when the swing member 3 is in the left-leaning position, the first wing portion 32 is closer to the inner bottom surface of the first seat body 11 than the second wing portion 33, and the first wing portion 32 compresses the first elastic member 41 to generate a biasing force acting on the swing member 3 in the clockwise direction (D2). Additionally, when the swing member 3 is in the left-leaning position, the second wing portion 33 is distal to the inner bottom surface of the first seat body 11 and stretches the second elastic member 42. The second elastic member 42 will generate a clockwise (D2) biasing force that acts on the swing member 3.


Referring to FIG. 8, when the swing member 3 is in the right-leaning position, the second wing portion 33 is closer to the inner bottom surface of the first seat body 11 than the first wing portion 32, and the second wing portion 33 compresses the second elastic member 42 to generate a biasing force acting on the swing member 3 in the anti-clockwise direction (D1). Additionally, when the swing member 3 is in the right-leaning position, the first wing portion 32 is distal to the inner bottom surface of the first seat body 11 and stretches the first elastic member 41, and the second wing portion 33 is proximate to the inner bottom surface of the first seat body 11. The first elastic member 41 will generate an anti-clockwise (D1) biasing force that acts on the swing member 3. In other words, if a user were to manipulate the accessory structure 2 by pushing the accessory structure 2 so that the swing member 3 is moved to the left-leading or the right-leaning position relative to the first seat body 11; when the user stops pushing the accessory structure 2, the first elastic member 41 and the second elastic member 42 will cause the swing member 3 to continue oscillation until the swing member 3 returns to the balanced position.


Therefore when the user on the bicycle 6 pedals, the user's pedaling motion may cause swaying in the accessory structure 2 of the bike trainer, and the first elastic member 41 and the second elastic member 42 may help to dampen the swaying by generating biasing forces to act on the swing member 3 in the clockwise direction (D2) or the anti-clockwise direction (D1) that opposes a left-leaning force or a right-leaning force caused by the user pedaling. This increases user comfort while pedaling and increases the user's workout efficiency. Additionally because stress between the bicycle 6 and the accessory structure 2 may be dissipated via the swing member 3 the likelihood of damage between the bike trainer and the bicycle 6 may be decreased. Furthermore, by having the axle body portion 141 of the axle member 14 being in rotatable contact with the first sleeve portion 131 and the second sleeve portion 132, the rotation of the axle member 14 may be smooth, stresses between joining parts of the base seat unit 1 and the mounting bar 21 are reduced and the service life of the bike trainer is increased.


In should be noted that, the structure of the first and second elastic members 41, 42 may be implemented differently and is not limited to the example disclosed above. In some embodiments, the first elastic member 41 and the second elastic member 42 may each be a compression spring or a leaf spring.


In summary of the above, in the bike trainer according to the present disclosure, by virtue of the swing member 3 and the shock absorber unit 4 being able to dampen swaying in the accessory structure 2, the user may pedal with more comfort on the bike trainer, and the bike trainer may have a longer service life.
