DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF TREADMILL TRICYCLE

Mechanical Engineering

In this paper, a brief overview of design and fabrication of a treadmill tricycle is given. The design of the model and the actual model of the tricycle is also given. The design process and steps are also mentioned in it. The stationary treadmill is converted to a moving model. The user will be able to exercise and well as commute sing the model. The conventional treadmill are stationary and only can be used in the house or in a gymnasium. The model thus provides user to use it outdoors and exercise at the same time. The mechanism consists of chain and sprocket as well a spur gear mechanism for transmission. Three wheels are used for cost cutting, one at front and two at rear side. The rest mechanism is same as a treadmill. The walking motion of a user rotates the gear mechanism which in turn gives motion to the rear wheel using chain and sprocket mechanism. The model is based on experiment so as to create an innovative model. A treadmill is an exercise device used for walking, running and cardio purpose. To remove the constraint of treadmill as fix position and to use it outdoors is the objective of the project. The model has a scope in future where it can be used in various organization, personal use, exercising purpose.
