Abstract

A training device includes a motor including a sensor member connected therewith which is electrically connected to a control unit which controls the motor via commands from a user. A torque output unit is connected with an output shaft of the motor and transfers a resistant force to users and to transfers the force from the user to the motor. The torque output unit includes a speed reduction unit and a tension unit so as to transfer proper force between the motor and the users. The users exercise muscles by the vibration provided by the motor which rotates to-and-fro repetitively.

Claims

1. A Vibration training device comprising:

a motor including a sensor member connected therewith which is electrically connected to a control unit which controls the motor;

a torque output unit connected with an output shaft of the motor and adapted to transfer a resistant force to users and

the control unit sensing status of the motor according input commands so as to control the motor to generate vibration on user'"'"'s muscles by rotating to-and-fro repetitively.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein frequency and amplitude of the vibration on user'"'"'s muscles are adjusted independently and separately.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the torque output unit includes a speed reduction unit and a tension unit, the tension unit includes a cable and a handle, the handle is adapted to transfer the force from the user to the motor.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the torque output unit includes a speed reduction unit and a crank, the crank is rotated to drive the speed reduction unit and is adapted to transfer the operation force from the user to the motor.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, the torque output unit includes a speed reduction unit, a driving shaft and an endless belt which is driven by the driving shaft.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the control unit includes a control panel.
