Patent attributes
A magnetic resistance structure and an exercise machine having the same are disclosed. The magnetic resistance structure includes a seat body, a turning disc unit, a movable seat, a control unit, and a magnetic field component. The turning disc unit is pivotally connected to the seat body in an axial direction. The turning disc unit has a non-magnetic induction part extending in a radial direction. The control unit is connected with the movable seat for controlling the movable seat to approach or move away from the non-magnetic induction part. The magnetic field component includes a first component and a second component. The first component is located on the seat body. The second component is located on the movable seat. The first component and the second component selectively generate a magnetic field by changing their relative positions.
