本研究所設計之無固定軌跡運動訓練機,結合一曲柄搖桿控制之上下擺幅,及一曲柄搖桿連結一滑塊控制前後移動,此兩組曲柄搖桿機構結合滑塊所產生的運動軌跡非固定式軌跡,而是一平面運動空間(reachable workspace)。使用者可任意在此運動空間內自行決定運動之軌跡。本研究參考過去所發表之運動訓練機之專利分類與分析,從中獲得創新設計與研發之方向,即混合橢圓機、踏步機、滑步機及複合式運動訓練機四種不同型態之運動器材。再從機構合成中,找出符合設計條件之一曲柄搖桿及一曲柄搖桿連結滑塊合成一特殊九連桿運動鏈;透過電腦輔助繪圖軟體進行無固定軌跡運動訓練機之細部設計、尺寸合成與3D建模。最後經由原型機製作確認無固定軌跡運動訓練機之可行性與正確性。本研究之相關成果均已提出專利申請。
The free-trajectory motion trainer design in this research combined two crank-rocker mechanisms to control the motions of up-and-down as well as forward-and-backward to generate a non-fixed planar reachable workspace. Users may determine their motion pattern at their free will. Analysis and classification of motion trainers in previous papers were referred to obtain new direction of creative design of mixing the motion patterns of elliptical, steppers, stair-trainers. Two crank-rocker mechanisms with an additional slider to form a nine-link kinematic chain were created to satisfy design conditions. 3D model, dimension synthesis, and detailed design were accomplished by using CAD software. The feasibility and correctness of the free-trajectory motion trainer were verified by its prototype. The related results of this research were filed for patent application.
