- The input powers of the first driving rotating direction and second driving rotating direction are from both or one of the hand or foot of the manpower for driving the input end of the bidirectional manpower input device(101);
- The first driving rotating direction and second driving rotating direction are contrary to each other;
- The bidirectional different speed ratio speed change device(102):
- The bidirectional different speed ratio speed change device(102) receives the different directional rotating power from the bidirectional manpower input device(101) directly or via a transmission device(104) while provides the bidirectional different speed ratio power output;
- the bidirectional different speed ratio speed change device(102) is constituted by the internal transmission components of the following:
- 1) gear train;
- or 2) friction wheel train;
- or 3) chain and sprocket train;
- or 4) belt and pulley train;
- or 5) transmission crankshaft and wheel train;
- or 6) fluid transmission device;
- or 7) electromagnetic transmission device;
- or it is constituted by one or more than one of above said transmission components;
- when the bidirectional different speed ratio speed change device(102) is driven by the different rotating directional inputs of the first driving rotating direction and second driving rotating direction, the relative directional relationship at the bidirectional output end corresponding to the reversely different input direction at the input end can be the same or different, and the speed ratios between the output directions corresponding to different input directions are different;
- The loading wheel train(103):
- It is a wheel-type load driven by the output end of the bidirectional different speed ratio speed change device(102) directly or via the wheel load of a transmission device(104);
- The present invention is especially applying as an upright bidirectional pedaling bicycle or as an upright bidirectional pedaling device for lower limbs bidirectional pedaling in order to widen the use of muscles and change the muscle strength and density, and obtain the following advantages:
- (1) reducing injuries caused by overuse of partial muscles and joints;
- (2) working the muscles and joints seldom being used or trained;
- Above advantages can be applied at various bidirectional manpower driving using different muscle groups;
- especially when apply bidirectional pedaling driving at upright bicycles or upright pedaling exercise devices, the difference of the muscle groups using for bidirectional pedaling is bigger, that makes the said advantages and their effects more obvious.
