Abstract

A multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus including a bracket, a seat, a power module, at least one exercise module, and a control system is provided. The seat is disposed on the bracket. The power module is securely disposed on the bracket and is located outside the seat. The at least one exercise module is disposed on the power module and connected to the power module. The control system is electrically coupled to the power module, and is configured to adjust a resistance of the power module and adapted to switch the power module to an active mode or a passive mode. An external force is applied to the at least one exercise module and is transmitted to the power module to overcome the resistance of the power module.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus, comprising:
 a bracket;   a seat, disposed on the bracket;   a power module, securely disposed on the bracket and located outside the seat;   at least one exercise module, disposed on the power module and connected to the power module; and   a control system, electrically coupled to the power module, configured to adjust a resistance of the power module and adapted to switch the power module to an active mode or a passive mode, wherein   an external force is applied to the at least one exercise module and is transmitted to the power module to overcome the resistance of the power module.   
     
     
         2 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the number of the at least one exercise module is plural, the exercise modules are stacked one on each other on the power module, and when one of the exercise modules is selected by the control system, the control system releases connection relationships between the rest of exercise modules and the power module. 
     
     
         3 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein when some of the exercise modules are selected by the control system, the exercise modules are connected to the power module, and a plurality of external forces is respectively applied to the exercise modules and is transmitted to the power module. 
     
     
         4 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein when the power module is switched to the active mode by the control system, the power module is adapted to generate an auxiliary power to drive the corresponding exercise module, and when the power module is switched to the passive mode by the control system, the power module is configured to consume the external force passing through the exercise module. 
     
     
         5 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the power module has a first housing, a power source, and a drive shaft, the power source is securely disposed in the first housing, a first end of the drive shaft penetrates the housing and is connected to the at least one exercise module, and a second end of the drive shaft is connected to a first rotation shaft of the power source. 
     
     
         6 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one exercise module has a second housing and a gear set, the second housing is stacked on the first housing, and the first end of the drive shaft penetrates the second housing and is connected to the gear set of the at least one exercise module. 
     
     
         7 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the at least one exercise module has a second housing, the second housing is stacked on the first housing, and the first end of the drive shaft penetrates the second housing. 
     
     
         8 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the power module has a generator, the generator is securely disposed in the first housing and is aligned to the power source, and the second end of the drive shaft is connected to a second rotation shaft of the generator. 
     
     
         9 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 5 , wherein the power module has a torque sensor, and the torque sensor is sleeved on the drive shaft and is configured to detect a value of a torque generated when the drive shaft pivots. 
     
     
         10 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a muscle perception module, wherein the muscle perception module is electrically coupled to the control system and is configured to detect a muscle status of a user and to convert the muscle status into a perception signal, and the control system receives and reads the perception signal to determine the muscle status of the user. 
     
     
         11 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 10 , wherein when the control system determines that the user's muscle is in a tired status, the control system reduces the resistance of the power module, and when the control system determines that the user's muscle is in an energetic status, the control system increases the resistance of the power module. 
     
     
         12 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising an angle, speed, and acceleration perception module, wherein the angle, speed, and acceleration module is electrically coupled to the control system and configured to detect a physical training status of a user and to convert the status into a perception signal, and the control system receives the perception signal to determine a limb spread angle, speed, and acceleration of the user. 
     
     
         13 . The multi-functional modularized exercise apparatus according to  claim 12 , wherein the control system is adapted to dynamically adjust the resistance of the power module according to the limb spread angle, speed, and acceleration.
