MOTORIZED FITNESS WHEEL - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240009521 titled 'MOTORIZED FITNESS WHEEL

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a motorized fitness wheel that includes a wheel with two handles extending outward from the sides. The user holds the handles and rolls the wheel back and forth on the floor. A motor applies torque to the wheel to provide resistance or assistance during the exercise. A position sensor provides information about the wheel's position to a microcontroller, which dynamically controls the motor's output torque based on predefined torque trajectories.

  • The fitness wheel has a motorized design for enhanced exercise experience.
  • The wheel rotates on an axle and has handles for the user to hold.
  • The motor can apply torque in either forward or backward direction.
  • A position sensor provides positional information to a microcontroller.
  • The microcontroller dynamically controls the motor's output torque based on torque trajectories.
  • The torque trajectories define the motor's output torque over a cycle of the exercise, based on wheel position and/or time.

Potential Applications:

  • Fitness and exercise equipment for individuals or fitness centers.
  • Rehabilitation and physical therapy for patients recovering from injuries or surgeries.
  • Sports training and conditioning for athletes to improve strength and coordination.

Problems Solved:

  • Provides a motorized solution for traditional wheel-based exercises, allowing for adjustable resistance or assistance.
  • Offers a dynamic control system that adjusts the motor's torque output based on the wheel's position, enhancing the exercise experience.
  • Provides a compact and portable fitness equipment option for users to engage in a full-body workout.

Benefits:

  • Allows users to customize their workout intensity by adjusting the motor's torque output.
  • Provides a versatile exercise tool that can target various muscle groups.
  • Offers a more engaging and interactive exercise experience compared to traditional wheel-based exercises.
  • Can be used for both individual workouts and group fitness classes.
  • Provides a compact and space-saving fitness equipment option for home or gym use.


Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods disclosed herein concern a motorized fitness wheel. the fitness wheel includes a wheel that rotates about an axle with two handles that extend outward from respective sides of the wheel along the rotational axis. in use, the user grasps the handles with their hands and rolls the wheel back and forth along the floor. a motor is configured to apply a torque to the wheel in either forward or backward direction to apply resistance or assistance and enhance the exercise. a position sensor feeds positional information of the motor to a microcontroller. based on the positional information, the microcontroller dynamically controls the output torque of the motor as a function of one or more torque trajectories. the torque trajectories define the output torque of the motor over a cycle of the exercise as a function a spatial variable (e.g., wheel position) and/or time.
