MOTORIZED TREADMILL WITH MOTOR BRAKING MECHANISM AND METHODS OF OPERATING SAME

A treadmill includes a frame; a running belt configured to rotate relative to the frame; and a motor coupled to the running belt. The motor is operable in a plurality of user controlled operating modes. In a first operating mode, a user of the treadmill provides a force of rotation to the running belt. In a second operating mode, the motor is adapted to resist rotation of the running belt. In a third operating mode, the motor is adapted to provide a force of rotation to the running belt at a desired speed.

An electric treadmill includes a motor and a motor driving circuit. The motor driving circuit is operable to control electric current flow from a positive electrode through the motor to a negative electrode to drive the motor. The motor driving circuit has a switch path connected between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The switch path has a resistance element and a switch element connected in series. When the motor driving circuit receives power from the external power source, the switch element will automatically switch to an open state so that the resistance element is inactive; and when the motor driving circuit does not receive power from the external power source, the switch element will automatically switch to an closed state so that the resistance element is operated to provide a resistive load for stopping rotation of the endless belt.

SLAT HAVING TRUSS STRUCTURE
20220355160 · 2022-11-10 ·

Proposed is a slat having a truss structure, the slat including: a main body provided with a stepping part which receives the load of a user, and a coupling part which is formed on both sides of the stepping part and may be fixed to a track belt; and a truss part connected to the stepping part so as to distribute the load applied to the main body. Thus, since the load applied to the stepping part is distributed by a diagonal member part and a chord member part of the truss part, the bending of the main body caused by the load is minimized, and thus damage to the main body caused by the load may be prevented.

DETECTING OBJECTS PROXIMATE TO A TREADMILL
20220355179 · 2022-11-10 ·

An exercise machine can include sensors to detect objects proximate to and/or moving towards the exercise machine. For example, a treadmill, or a control system associated with the treadmill, can determine an object is moving towards or is already proximate to a deck of the treadmill (e.g., a front area, middle area, or rear area of the deck of the treadmill) and modify operations of the treadmill in response to the determined or detected object or object movement. The treadmill can utilize various detection mechanisms when determining an object is within a proximity to the treadmill, such as time-of-flight (ToF) sensors or cameras, millimeter wave (mmWave) sensors, computer vision (CV) technology, and so on, to detect the proximity of the object (or movement of the object).
