This application claims priority from the Chinese patent application 2024209757251 filed May 8, 2024, the content of which is incorporated herein in the entirety by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the field of athletic equipment, and in particular to an arm exercise machine.
If a person needs to exercise his/her arms, generally fitness equipment such as a dumb bell, an arm strength device or a barbell may be used. Although the dumbbell and arm strength device can be carried, if they are not gripped properly during use, they may fall off and pose a risk of damaging a user. Moreover, the dumbbell and the arm strength device can only correspond to one strength per group; if different degrees of strength are needed for exercise, multiple sets of dumbbells or arm strength devices are needed, which is inconvenient to carry; furthermore, the barbell is even more difficult to carry, and generally needs to be used in specialized fitness centers.
At present, there is no arm exercise machine available in the market which can be convenient to carry, can adjust exercise strength, and does not have the risk of injuries due to the arm exercise machine being dropped.
In order to overcome the above shortcomings, the present disclosure provides an arm exercise machine which can be convenient to carry and can adjust exercise strength.

All these drawings are simplified schematic diagrams for explaining the basic structure of the present disclosure only by way of illustration, and thus only the components related to the present disclosure are shown.
In the description of the present disclosure, it should be noted that the orientation or position relations indicated by the terms “upper”, “lower”, “inner”, “outer”, “front end”, “rear end”, “two ends”, “one end”, “other end” and the like are based on the orientation or position relations shown in the figures, which is only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the indicated device or element must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood that the present disclosure is limited thereto. In addition, terms such as ‘first’ and ‘second’ are used herein for purposes of description and are not intended to indicate or imply relative importance.
In the description of the present disclosure, it should be noted that, unless specified or limited otherwise, the terms “mounted”, “provided with”, “connected”, and the like should be understood broadly, for example, “connected” may be a fixed connection, may also be a detachable connection, or may be an integral connection; may also be mechanical or electrical connections; may also be direct connections or indirect connections via intervening structures; may also be inner communications of two elements; the fixed connection may be welding, screwing, or gluing. A person of ordinary skill in the art may understand the specific meanings of the foregoing terms in the present disclosure according to specific situations.
An arm exercise machine as shown in
A positioning ring 20 is provided at a front end of the forearm assembly 2, as shown in
As shown in
A first spring 53 is sleeved on each of the guiding posts 52, and two ends of the first spring 53 are respectively connected to corresponding sleeve rods in the two gripping handles 51. When a user holds the gripping handles with his/her hands, the first spring can be pressed tightly through a gripping action, the gripping handles on the two sides are close to each other, and after the gripping handles are released, the first spring separates the gripping handles on the two sides. Since a certain gripping force is required in this movement, repeated movements can also have an exercise effect. When the upper and lower sleeve rods are close to each other, the conical surface of each of the transverse conical bosses press the conical surface of each of the longitudinal conical bosses, so that the two pushing members move outwards transversely; and when gripping, the two pushing members press the positioning ring outwards, so that the rotating ring does not rotate any more. In order to ensure stability during pushing, a friction sheet can be further provided at a position of the positioning ring corresponding to the pushing member, and when the outer end of the pushing member pushes against the friction sheet, the stability is better.
The forearm assembly 2 comprises two second supports 21 which are arranged opposite each other, two extending supports 22 are provided at a rear end of the positioning ring 20, each of the extending supports 22 is sleeved on each of the second supports 21 from front to back, as shown in
A positioning button is provided within each of the extending supports 22 and the telescoping supports 12, the positioning button is perpendicular to the respective connecting groove, the positioning button comprises an inner protrusion portion 14, a moving portion 15 and an outer protrusion portion 16 which are connected to each other, the inner protrusion portion 14 is located on an inner side of the respective first support 11/the respective second support 21, and the diameter of the inner protrusion portion is greater than the width of the connecting groove and less than the diameter of the positioning holes 13; the diameter of the moving portion 15 is less than the width of the connecting groove, and the moving portion 15 is capable of passing through the respective first support 11/the respective second support 21 through the connecting groove or the positioning hole; the outer protrusion portion 16 is located on an outer side of the respective first support 11/the second support 21 and is embedded into an outer wall of the telescoping support 12/the extending support 22, and the diameter of the outer protrusion portion 16 is greater than that of the positioning holes 13. A second spring 17 is further provided between the inner protrusion portion 14 and an inner wall of the telescoping support 12/the extending support 22; when the inner protrusion portion is at the position of any one of the positioning holes, the second spring pushes the inner protrusion portion into the positioning hole, and by pressing the outer protrusion portion on the outer side, the inner protrusion portion is pressed away from the positioning hole, and at this time, the moving portion is within the positioning hole, and the sliding of the telescoping support/extending support can enable the moving portion of the positioning button to enter the connecting groove, when continuing to slide the support to the position of the next positioning hole, the second spring is reset to enable the inner protrusion portion to pop into the positioning hole due to the loss of pressure; by means of this operation, the length from the top of the telescoping support to the bottom of the first support and the length from the front end of the support to the rear end of the second support can be adjusted, i.e., the total length of the upper arm assembly and the forearm assembly is adjusted.
The strap can be mounted on the first supports, the second supports, the telescoping support and/or extending support, and then is tightly tied to the upper arms and the forearms. Even if the hands are released from the gripping rods, the exercise machine will not fall off. The specific number and position can be set according to actual situations, and it can be ensured that the arm exercise machine is tied to the user's arm.
A rear end of each of the second supports 21 is connected to a lower end of each of the first supports 11 through a hinge pin so as to achieve relative rotation therebetween. As shown in
Furthermore, a lower end of the upper arm assembly 1 is rotatably connected to a rear end of the forearm assembly 2, a cylinder body 31 of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is mounted on a side of the forearm assembly 2, and an end of a piston rod 32 is connected to the upper arm assembly 1. After a user wears the arm exercise machine, the rotating connection point of the upper arm assembly and the forearm assembly corresponds to the position of the elbow, when the forearms make an upward lifting action, a certain force is required to be used to lift the forearm under the action of the hydraulic cylinder. Since the damping of the hydraulic cylinder is adjustable, the user can adjust the damping according to the force required for exercise according to practical requirements.
According to the present disclosure, a person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of the present disclosure. The technical scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the content in the description, and the technical scope of the present disclosure must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
