碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 機電整合研究所 === 95 === Swimming is one kind of sports and exercises, which is very good to health. So far, there is no learning device for swimming. The swimming pools are not enough and the available open hours for most swimming pools are not all the year round. It is, therefore, inconvenient for the beginners and persons who take swimming as a regular exercise as well. This thesis presents a new design of learning/exercise device for learning swimming and swim exercise without swimming pools. It could increase the convenience of learning, exercising and rehabilitating. Firstly, we analyzed the paths of hands’ and legs’ motions for breaststroke swimming. The results of this analysis are used to synthesize the required cam mechanisms to perform such specified motions and to guide the swimmers to follow the exact paths of hands and legs. This design uses Pro/Engineer Wildfire 2.0 software to do dimensional synthesis. Through the simulations in Pro/Engineer Wildfire 2.0, the design requirements and its feasibility have been confirmed.
