Abstract
An apparatus of foot pedal working type for health maintenance equipped with a DC generator wherein electric current generated by the DC generator adapted to be driven by foot pedal working force is supplied to an electric device via a DC/DC converter, characterized in that the generated electric current supplied from the DC/DC converter to the electric device is controlled to increase or decrease and thereby a reaction force necessary for foot pedal working causing the DC generator to generate the electric current is controlled to increase or decrease.
Claims2
An apparatus for health maintenance equipped with a DC generator, the apparatus comprising:
- a foot pedal;
- wherein:
- electric power generated by the DC generator adapted to be driven by foot pedal working is supplied to an electric device via a DC/DC converter;
- the generated electric current supplied from the DC/DC converter to the electric device is controlled to increase or decrease;
- thereby a reaction force necessary for foot pedal working causing the DC generator to generate said electric current is controlled to increase or decrease;
- wherein the DC generator is mounted on a rotary shaft of a wheel as to serve as a braking mechanism so that the generated electric current to be supplied from the DC/DC converter to the electric device may be controlled to increase or decrease to control a braking effect of the DC generator.
An apparatus for health maintenance equipped with a DC generator, the apparatus comprising:
- a foot pedal;
- wherein;
- electric power generated by the DC generator adapted to be driven by foot pedal working is supplied to an electric device via a DC/DC converter;
- the generated electric current supplied from the DC/DC converter to the electric device is controlled in the course of generation to be gradually increased or decreased;
- thereby the reaction force necessary for foot pedal working causing the DC generator to generate said electric current is controlled to be gradually increased or decreased;
- and
- wherein the DC generator is mounted on a rotary shaft of a wheel so as to serve as a braking mechanism so that the generated electric current to be supplied from the DC/DC converter to the electric device may be controlled to increase or decrease to control a braking effect of the DC generator.
