TECHNICAL FIELD
The present application relates to the technical field of treadmill structure, and in particular, to a foldable treadmill.
BACKGROUND
A treadmill is a commonly used fitness equipment in homes and gyms, which generally comes in two types: fixed and foldable. Specifically, the pillars, handrails and other components of the foldable treadmill can be folded up when not in use, making it convenient for transportation and storage. Therefore, foldable treadmills have become the preferred choice for household treadmills.
In order to facilitate users to listen to music and watch videos while running, and to increase the fun of running, some existing treadmills have storage platforms for electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets and so forth. For a foldable treadmill, setting up a storage platform on the treadmill will make it difficult to be folded. Therefore, current treadmills with a storage platform (especially when the volume of the storage platform is relatively large) are generally fixed-type treadmills, and the storage platform is fixed on the treadmill.
In view of above, it is necessary to design a foldable treadmill that can be easily folded and has a storage platform.

The terms “up”, “down”, “left”, “right”, “front”, “back”, “top”, “bottom” (if any) in the specification and claims of the present application are defined based on the position of the structure in the figures and the position between the structures in the figures, only for the clarity and convenience of expressing the technical solution. It should be understood that the use of these directional words should not limit the scope of protection in the present application.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, the foldable treadmill provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a treadmill body 1, a pillar assembly 2, a storage frame 3, and a storage platform 4. The storage platform 4 is detachably installed on the storage frame 3. The pillar assembly 2 includes two pillars 21 respectively located on the left and right sides of the treadmill body 1. The bottom end of each pillar 21 is rotatably connected to the front end of the treadmill body 1, while the storage frame 3 is rotatably connected to the top ends of the two pillars 21, so that both the pillar assembly 2 and the storage frame 3 can be unfolded and folded.
This foldable treadmill has unfolded and folded states. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the foldable treadmill is in the unfolded state, the pillar assembly 2 stays in a standing position (that is, the pillar assembly 2 is in a vertical state, or the pillar assembly 2 is upright and inclined at a certain angle from the vertical direction), the storage frame 3 stays in a horizontal position and is used to install the storage platform 4 (of course, when no items need to be placed, the storage platform 4 can also be removed from the storage frame 3), and there is a certain angle between the storage frame 3 and the pillar assembly 2. As shown in FIG. 3, when the foldable treadmill is in the folded state, the storage platform 4 is removed from the storage frame 3, and the storage frame 3 is rotated to be in the same plane as the pillar assembly 2 (that is, the plane where the storage frame 3 is located and the plane where the pillar assembly 2 is located are in the same plane), and both the storage frame 3 and the pillar assembly 2 are rotated to be stored on the sides of the treadmill body 1 so as to be kept in the folded state.
The foldable treadmill provided in this embodiment is provided with a storage frame 3 and a storage platform 4. The storage frame 3 is rotatably connected to the pillar assembly 2, and the storage platform 4 is detachably installed on the storage frame 3. When unfolding the foldable treadmill, the pillar assembly 2 is rotated to stay in a standing position, and the storage frame 3 is rotated to a horizontal position, so that the foldable treadmill is in an unfolded state. At this time, the storage platform 4 can be installed on the storage frame 3, and the users can place items such as mobile phones or tablets (or water bottles, keys, and other personal items) on the storage platform 4 to achieve the storage function of the treadmill. When folding the foldable treadmill, the storage platform 4 is first removed from the storage frame 3, and then, the storage frame 3 and the pillar assembly 2 are rotated to the sides of the treadmill body 1 to store the storage frame 3 and the pillar assembly 2, thereby achieving the folding and storage function of the treadmill. Moreover, during the folding process, the storage frame 3 is rotated to be in the same plane as the pillar assembly 2, thereby reducing the space occupied by the storage frame 3 in the folded state and facilitating folding. This foldable treadmill is not only provided with a storage platform 4 that can hold items such as mobile phones, tablets and so forth, but also has a folding function, making it convenient for the users to use.
It should be noted that some existing foldable treadmills also have a phone stand, but in order to facilitate the folding of the phone stand, the phone stand is generally set very small and only used for temporary storage of the phones, and cannot accommodate other items or large items. However, this embodiment improves the functionality of the foldable treadmill by setting up a storage frame 3 and a storage platform 4, wherein various different or large items can be placed on the storage platform 4, making it convenient for the users to use.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in an achievable manner, the storage frame 3 is a U-shaped structure. The storage frame 3 includes a crossbar 31 and two side bars 32 respectively connected to the opposite ends of the crossbar 31. The crossbar 31 extends along the left-to-right direction of the foldable treadmill, and each side bar 32 extends along the front-to-rear direction of the foldable treadmill. The two side bars 32 are respectively rotatably connected to the top ends of the two pillars 21, that is, one end of each side bar 32 is fixedly connected to the crossbar 31, and the other end of each side bar 32 is rotatably connected to the top end of one pillar 21.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the foldable treadmill is in the unfolded state, the storage frame 3 is in a horizontal position, and the top end of the pillar 21 is tilted backwards compared to its bottom end. The storage frame 3, the pillar assembly 2, and the treadmill body 1 form a Z-shaped structure (that is, the storage frame 3 is located on the front side of the top end of the pillar assembly 2). This setting can reduce the upper space occupied by the storage frame 3 and the storage platform 4 on the treadmill body 1, improve the space utilization of the treadmill body 1, and facilitate users to run on the treadmill body 1. As shown in FIG. 3, when the foldable treadmill is in the folded state, the crossbar 31 is stored on the rear side of the treadmill body 1 (that is, the crossbar 31 is located at the rear side of the treadmill body 1 and near the rear sidewall of the treadmill body 1), and the two pillars 21 and the two side bars 32 are respectively stored on the left and right sides of the treadmill body 1 (that is, one pillar 21 and one side bar 32 are located on the left side of the treadmill body 1 and near the left sidewall of the treadmill body 1, while the other pillar 21 and the other side bar 32 are located on the right side of the treadmill body 1 and near the right sidewall of the treadmill body 1). This setting can facilitate the folding of the storage frame 3 and the pillar assembly 2, and minimize the space occupied by the storage frame 3 and the pillar assembly 2 in the folded state.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, in an achievable manner, a receiving groove 30 is enclosed by the crossbar 31 and the two side bars 32. When the storage platform 4 is installed on the storage frame 3, the storage platform 4 is received in the receiving groove 30 and covers the receiving groove 30, and at this time, the storage frame 3 cannot fold (if the storage frame 3 folds at this time, the storage platform 4 will interfere with the rear end of the treadmill body 1 and cannot be folded properly). When the storage platform 4 is removed from the storage frame 3, the receiving groove 30 is exposed, and at this time, the storage frame 3 can be folded normally.
As shown in FIGS. 2, 4, and 5, in an achievable manner, the storage platform 4 is provided with a clamping mechanism 40. The clamping mechanism 40 is used to engage with the storage frame 3 to fix the storage platform 4 on the storage frame 3, thereby facilitating the disassembly and installation of the storage platform 4.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, in an achievable manner, the clamping mechanism 40 includes a clamping slot 401 provided on the lower surface of the storage platform 4 and clamping claws 402 rotatably connected to the storage platform 4. The clamping claws 402 are arranged on the left and right sides of the storage platform 4. When the storage platform 4 is installed on the storage frame 3, the crossbar 31 is engaged in the clamping slot 401, and the clamping claws 402 on the left and right sides are respectively hooked on the two side bars 32, thereby fixing the storage platform 4 on the storage frame 3. When the storage platform 4 is removed from the storage frame 3, the clamping claws 402 on the left and right sides are first rotated to separate them from the side bars 32, and then the storage platform 4 can be removed from the storage frame 3. Of course, in other embodiments, the clamping mechanism 40 can also be other clamping structures.
In another achievable manner, the storage platform 4 and the storage frame 3 are connected by magnetic attraction to achieve detachable connection therebetween. Specifically, magnetic blocks (not shown, such as magnetic steel, magnets, etc.) can be installed on the storage platform 4, the storage frame 3 is made of metal material that can be attracted to the magnetic blocks, and the magnetic blocks are used to attract the storage frame 3 to achieve the installation between the storage platform 4 and the storage frame 3. Alternatively, a first magnetic block is installed on the storage platform 4, a second magnetic block is installed on the storage frame 3, and by using the first magnetic block to attract the second magnetic block, the storage platform 4 can be more stably installed on the storage frame 3.
As shown in FIG. 1, in an achievable manner, the storage platform 4 includes a storage board 41 and a back plate 42 that is rotatably connected to the storage board 41. When the back plate 42 is in use, the back plate 42 can be rotated and unfolded at a certain angle with respect to the storage board 41 (as shown in FIG. 1, the back plate 42 is in an unfolded state). At this time, the back plate 42 can be used to support mobile phones, tablets, etc. There is an indentation 411 on the storage board 41, and when the back plate 42 is not in use, the back plate 42 can be rotated to be accommodated and stored in the indentation 411.
As shown in FIG. 2, in an achievable manner, there is a control panel 8 on the storage frame 3, and the control panel 8 is connected to the treadmill body 1 by signals. The control panel 8 includes multiple control buttons (e.g., switch button, speed control button, motion mode control button, etc.) thereon, which are used by the user to control the actions of the treadmill body 1.
As shown in FIGS. 6 to 9, in an achievable manner, the foldable treadmill further includes a hinge assembly 500, and the bottom end of the pillar 21 is rotatably connected to the treadmill body 1 through the hinge assembly 500. The hinge assembly 500 includes a rotating assembly 5 and a fixing assembly 6. The bottom end of the pillar 21 is fixedly connected to the rotating assembly 5, and the fixing assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the treadmill body 1. The rotating assembly 5 is rotatably connected to the fixing assembly 6, so that the rotating assembly 5 can rotate relative to the fixing assembly 6, thereby achieving the rotational connection between the pillar 21 and the treadmill body 1.
As shown in FIGS. 9 to 13b, in an achievable manner, a first limiting structure 53 is provided on the rotating assembly 5, and a second limiting structure 64 is provided on the fixing assembly 6. The second limiting structure 64 is used to cooperate with and abut against the first limiting structure 53, so that the rotating assembly 5 cannot continue to rotate after rotating to a specific position, so as to limit the pillar 21 in position in the unfolded or folded state, and prevent the pillar 21 from continuing to rotate, thereby enabling the pillar 21 to stay in the unfolded or folded state.
As shown in FIGS. 9 to 13b, in an achievable manner, the hinge assembly 500 further includes a switch 7 configured for locking and unlocking the rotating assembly 5. The switch 7 is movably connected to the fixing assembly 6. When the pillar 21 is in the unfolded state, the switch 7 is engaged with the rotating assembly 5 to lock the rotating assembly 5, so that the pillar 21 is maintained in the unfolded state to prevent the pillar 21 from rotating and folding on its own during use. When the switch 7 is manually turned, the rotating assembly 5 is unlocked, and the rotating assembly 5 can rotate, allowing the pillar 21 to be rotated and folded.
As shown in FIGS. 8 to 13b, in an achievable manner, the fixing assembly 6 includes a hollow base 61 and a first shaft 62 fixedly connected to the base 61.

The limiting member 52 is fixedly connected to the pillar 21 and can rotate with the pillar 21.
The first limiting structure 53 is provided on the outer wall of the limiting member 52, the second limiting structure 64 is provided on the inner wall of the base 61, and the second limiting structure 64 is located on the rotation path of the first limiting structure 53, so that when the limiting member 52 rotates with the pillar 21, the first limiting structure 53 on the limiting member 52 can abut against the second limiting structure 64 on the inner wall of the base 61 to limit the pillar 21 in position when the pillar 21 is in the unfolded or folded state.
As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, in an achievable manner, both the first shaft 62 and the second shaft 51 are cylindrical structures. The second shaft 51 is located on one end of the first shaft 62 along the axial direction of the second shaft 51. The pin 63 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 62, and the second shaft 51 is rotatable around the pin 63, thereby achieving a rotational connection between the second shaft 51 and the first shaft 62. Of course, in other embodiments, the pin 63 is fixedly connected to the second shaft 51, and the pin 63 is rotatably connected to the first shaft 62.

The body frame 11 is provided with a second hole 111, and one end of the first shaft 62 is inserted into the second hole 111. The first shaft 62 is fixedly connected to the body frame 11 by welding. The other end of the first shaft 62 extends into the base 61 and is fixedly connected with the base 61 by welding. On the outer wall of the first shaft 62, there is a protruding portion 622, and the protruding portion 622 is clamped between the base 61 and the body frame 11 (that is, the two sides of the protruding portion 622 respectively abut against the side wall of the base 61 and the side wall of the body frame 11), thereby achieving the positioning of the first shaft 62 and facilitating installation, increasing the welding area between the first shaft 62 and the body frame 11 and the base 61, and improving connection stability.
As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13b, in an achievable manner, the first limiting structure 53 includes a first limiting portion 531 and a second limiting portion 532 that are separately provided on the outer wall of the limiting member 52. Specifically, in this embodiment, the limiting member 52 is a circular plate structure. The first limiting portion 531 and the second limiting portion 532 are respectively formed on opposite sides of the limiting member 52 along its radial direction. Both the first limiting portion 531 and the second limiting portion 532 are formed by protruding radially outward from the outer wall of the limiting member 52. The second limiting structure 64 includes a first stopping portion 641 and a second stopping portion 642 that are separately provided on the inner wall of the base 61. Specifically, in this embodiment, the base 61 is a circular structure, and both the first stopping portion 641 and the second stopping portion 642 are formed by protruding radially inward from the inner wall of the base 61.
As shown in FIG. 13a, when the pillar 21 is in the unfolded state, the first limiting portion 531 abuts against one side of the first stopping portion 641, causing the limiting member 52 and the pillar 21 to be unable to continue rotating, thereby limiting the pillar 21 in position when it is in the unfolded state. As shown in FIG. 13b, when the pillar 21 is in the folded state, the second limiting portion 532 abuts against the other side of the first stopping portion 641, and at the same time, the first limiting portion 531 abuts against the second stopping portion 642, so that the limiting member 52 and the pillar 21 is unable to continue rotating, thereby limiting the pillar 21 in position when it is in the folded state. Of course, in other embodiments, the first limiting structure 53 and the second limiting structure 64 may also be other forms of structures.
As shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, in an achievable manner, an installation opening 611 is provided on one side of the base 61 facing the second shaft 51, and the installation opening 611 is used to install the limiting member 52 and other components into the base 61.

There is a cover plate 65 located at the installation opening 611 and fixedly connected to the base 61, so as to cover the base 61 and prevent the internal parts of the base 61 from loosening or coming out. The limiting member 52 is received in the space enclosed by the base 61 and the cover plate 65. Specifically, the cover plate 65 can be fixedly connected to the base 61 through a screw connection.
As shown in FIGS. 8 to 11, in an achievable manner, the limiting member 52 is fixedly connected to the pillar 21 through a connecting rod 55. One end of the connecting rod 55 is fixedly connected to the pillar 21, and the other end of the connecting rod 55 is fixedly connected to the limiting member 52, so that the limiting member 52 can rotate with the pillar 21. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two connecting rods 55, one end of the two connecting rods 55 is connected to the first limiting portion 531 and the second limiting portion 532 respectively, and the other end of the two connecting rods 55 is connected to the pillar 21. Specifically, there is a hole (not labelled) provided on the pillar 21 for the insertion of the connecting rod 55. At the same time, there is an avoidance hole 651 corresponding to the position of the connecting rod 55 on the cover plate 65. The avoidance hole 651 is specifically an arc-shaped structure. The connecting rod 55 passes through the avoidance hole 651, and the connecting rod 55 can rotate in the avoidance hole 651 to avoid affecting the normal rotation of the connecting rod 55 and the limiting member 52.
As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13b, in an achievable manner, the switch 7 is rotatably connected to the base 61. The switch 7 includes a locking portion 71 and a handle portion 72 which are interconnected to each other. The locking portion 71 is located inside the base 61, and the handle portion 72 extends to the outside of the base 61. There is a cutout 613 on the base 61 for the handle portion 72 to extend out. A limiting groove 521 for engaging with the locking portion 71 is provided on the limiting member 52. When the pillar 21 is in the unfolded state, the locking portion 71 is engaged in the limiting groove 521 to lock and maintain the pillar 21 in the unfolded state. Specifically, the handle portion 72 is used for users to manually turn the switch 7 to lock or unlock the switch 7.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 13a, when the pillar 21 is in the unfolded state, the first limiting portion 531 abuts against the first stopping portion 641, the switch 7 is turned to cause the locking portion 71 of the switch 7 to engage in the limiting groove 521 of the limiting member 52, and at this time, the limiting member 52 cannot rotate counterclockwise or clockwise, thus locking the limiting member 52 in the current position and locking the pillar 21 in the unfolded state. As shown in FIG. 13b, when the switch 7 is turned in the opposite direction, the locking portion 71 of the switch 7 is disengaged from the limiting groove 521 of the limiting member 52, and the limiting member 52 is unlocked, so that the limiting member 52 can rotate clockwise (as viewed from FIG. 13b), and the pillar 21 can rotate and fold. Of course, in other embodiments, the switch 7 can also be in other forms of structure. For example, the switch 7 can be set as a structure that is slidably connected to the base 61, and locking and unlocking can be achieved by utilizing the sliding movement of the switch 7.
As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13b, in an achievable manner, the base 61 is provided with a rotating shaft 612, and the switch 7 is rotatably connected to the base 61 through the rotating shaft 612. The rotating shaft 612 is sleeved with a gasket 73, and the gasket 73 abuts against the switch 7. The gasket 73 is used to increase the rotational resistance of the switch 7, not only providing users with a damping feel when rotating the switch 7, but also preventing the switch 7 from rotating and unlocking on its own under external vibration (if no gasket 73 is provided, the switch 7 can rotate flexibly, and the switch 7 may rotate and unlock on its own due to vibration during use, allowing the pillar 21 to rotate on its own, thereby increasing the danger of use).
As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13b, in an achievable manner, gaskets 73 are provided on opposite sides of the switch 7. The gasket 73 on one side is clamped between the cover plate 65 and the switch 7, and the gasket 73 on the other side is clamped between the inner wall of the base 61 and the switch 7, thereby further increasing the rotational resistance of the switch 7. The gasket 73 can specifically be a concave gasket.
As shown in FIGS. 10 to 13b, in an achievable manner, both the base 61 and the cover plate 65 are provided with arc-shaped holes 652, and limiting posts 74 are provided on opposite sides of the switch 7. The limiting post 74 on one side is inserted into the arc-shaped hole 652 of the base 61 and can rotate in the arc-shaped hole 652, while the limiting post 74 on the other side is inserted into the arc-shaped hole 652 of the cover plate 65 and can rotate in the arc-shaped hole 652, thereby limiting the rotation path of the switch 7 and improving its rotational stability.
As shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, in an achievable manner, the pin 63 includes a rod 631 and a stopping portion 632 which are interconnected to each other, with the outer diameter of the stopping portion 632 greater than that of the rod 631. The second shaft 51 and the first shaft 62 are both cylindrical structures. The rod 631 is inserted into both the second shaft 51 and the first shaft 62. One end of the rod 631 that is far away from the stopping portion 632 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 62, and the second shaft 51 can rotate around the rod 631. The stopping portion 632 is located on one end of the second shaft 51 that is away from the first shaft 62.
As shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, in an achievable manner, a through hole 511 is provided in the second shaft 51, and the through hole 511 runs axially through the second shaft 51. A mounting hole 621 is axially provided in the first shaft 62. The rod 631 is inserted into the mounting hole 621 after passing through the through hole 511. The inner wall of the mounting hole 621 is provided with a first step 621c, the outer wall of the rod 631 is provided with a second step 631c, and the second step 631c abuts against the first step 621c.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting hole 621 includes a first inner hole 621a and a second inner hole 621b which are interconnected with each other, with the first inner hole 621a located on one side of the second inner hole 621b near the second shaft 51. The diameter of the first inner hole 621a is greater than that of the second inner hole 621b, and the first step 621c is formed between the first inner hole 621a and the second inner hole 621b. The rod 631 includes a first rod section 631a and a second rod section 631b which are interconnected to each other. The first rod section 631a is located between the stopping portion 632 and the second rod section 631b.
The outer diameter of the first rod section 631a is greater than that of the second rod section 631b, and the second step 631c is formed between the first rod section 631a and the second rod section 631b. The second rod section 631b is received in the second inner hole 621b, one end of the first rod section 631a near the second rod section 631b is received in the first inner hole 621a, and the other end of the first rod section 631a that is away from the second rod section 631b is received in the through hole 511. Since the second step 631c abuts against the first step 621c, therefore, during assembly, the first step 621c and the second step 631c can play a role in stopping and positioning, which is not only convenient for installation, but also prevents the pin 63 from excessively compressing the second shaft 51 and the first shaft 62 to affect the normal rotation of the second shaft 51.
As shown in FIGS. 9 to 12, in an achievable manner, the rod 631 is provided with an external thread (not shown) on the outer wall corresponding to the position of the first shaft 62 (that is corresponding to the position of the mounting hole 621), and the inner wall of the first shaft 62 is provided with an internal thread (not shown, i.e., the inner wall of the mounting hole 621 is provided with an internal thread). The rod 631 is threadedly connected to the first shaft 62, so that the pin 63 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 62. The outer wall of the rod 631 corresponding to the position of the second shaft 51 (that is, corresponding to the position of the through hole 511) is a smooth structure (that is, no external thread is provided), allowing the second shaft 51 to rotate smoothly around the pin 63.
In another achievable manner, the pin 63 is a half tooth screw.
As shown in FIG. 12, in an achievable manner, the mounting hole 621 runs axially through the first shaft 62, and the distal end of the rod 631 (that is, the end far away from the stopping portion 632) does not extend to the outside of the mounting hole 621. In another achievable manner, the distal end of the rod 631 extends to the outside of the mounting hole 621, and a nut (not shown) is provided on the distal end of the rod 631 to further fix the pin 63 to the first shaft 62.
As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, in an achievable manner, a corrugated gasket 54 is sleeved on the pin 63, and the corrugated gasket 54 abuts against one end face of the second shaft 51 that is away from the first shaft 62. Specifically, the corrugated gasket 54 is sleeved on the rod 631 of the pin 63, and the corrugated gasket 54 is clamped between the stopping portion 632 and the end face of the second shaft 51 that is away from the first shaft 62.
Specifically, the corrugated gasket 54, also known as a wave washer, is a circular thin sheet with a regular wavy shape. The corrugated gasket 54 not only can prevent the loosening of the pin 63 and slow down the impact, but also can increase the rotational resistance of the second shaft 51, slow down the rotational speed of the pillar 21 during rotation, increase the safety of use, and extend the service life of the components (to prevent the pillar 21 from rotating too fast and causing significant impact force between the first limiting structure 53 and the second limiting structure 64 when in contact). Also, the corrugated gasket 54 can avoid direct contact between the second shaft 51 and the stopping portion 632 to cause wear during rotation.
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, in an achievable manner, an accommodating groove 512 is provided in the end face of the second shaft 51 that is away from the first shaft 62, and the stopping portion 632 is accommodated in the accommodating groove 512, thereby improving the aesthetics and safety. The corrugated gasket 54 is clamped between the stopping portion 632 and the inner wall of the accommodating groove 512.
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, in an achievable manner, a first nylon gasket 66 is sleeved on the pin 63, and the first nylon gasket 66 is clamped between the second shaft 51 and the outer wall of the cover plate 65. By setting the first nylon gasket 66, on the one hand, it can prevent the second shaft 51 and/or the pillar 21 from directly contacting the cover plate 65 to cause rotational wear, and on the other hand, it can further increase the rotational resistance of the second shaft 51 and slow down the rotational speed of the pillar 21 during rotation.
As shown in FIGS. 10 and 12, in an achievable manner, a second nylon gasket 67 and a third nylon gasket 68 are sleeved on the first shaft 62, wherein the second nylon gasket 67 is clamped between the inner wall of the cover plate 65 and the limiting member 52, and the third nylon gasket 68 is clamped between the limiting member 52 and the inner wall of the base 61. On the one hand, the second nylon gasket 67 and the third nylon gasket 68 can increase the rotational resistance of the limiting member 52, thereby further slowing down the rotational speed of the pillar 21 during rotation; on the other hand, the second nylon gasket 67 and the third nylon gasket 68 can prevent the limiting member 52 from directly contacting the cover plate 65 and the base 61 to cause rotational wear.
As shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, in an achievable manner, a third limiting structure 33 is provided on the storage frame 3, and a fourth limiting structure 23 is provided on the top end of the pillar 21. The fourth limiting structure 23 is used to cooperate with and abut against the third limiting structure 33, so that the storage frame 3 cannot continue to rotate after rotating to a specific position, so as to limit the storage frame 3 in position when the storage frame 3 is in the unfolded or folded state, prevent the storage frame 3 from continuing to rotate, and thus keep the storage frame 3 in the unfolded or folded state.
As shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, in an achievable manner, a first connecting member 34 is provided on the end of the side bar 32 of the storage frame 3, and a second connecting member 22 is provided on the top end of the pillar 21. The first connecting member 34 is rotatably connected to the second connecting member 22 through a rotation shaft 35 to achieve the rotational connection between the storage frame 3 and the pillar 21. The third limiting structure 33 is provided on the first connecting member 34, and the fourth limiting structure 23 is provided on the second connecting member 22. Specifically, the first connecting member 34 may be a separate component from the side bar 32 and is fixedly connected, for example, by welding, to the side bar 32, or the first connecting member 34 may be an integral part of the side bar 32. Similarly, the second connecting member 22 may be a separate component from the pillar 21 and is fixedly connected, for example, by welding, to the pillar 21, or the second connecting member 22 may be an integral part of the pillar 21.
As shown in FIGS. 14 to 16, in an achievable manner, the second connecting member 22 includes a first clamping plate 221 and a second clamping plate 222 which are oppositely disposed and spaced apart from each other. The first connecting member 34 is located between the first clamping plate 221 and the second clamping plate 222, and the rotation shaft 35 passes through the first clamping plate 221, the first connecting member 34, and the second clamping plate 222 simultaneously. The rotation shaft 35 can be a bolt. The fourth limiting structure 23 includes a first locking post 231 and a second locking post 232, which are arranged between the first clamping plate 221 and the second clamping plate 222. The first locking post 231 and the second locking post 232 are spaced apart from each other. Specifically, one end of the first locking post 231 is connected to the inner wall of the first clamping plate 221, the other end of the first locking post 231 is connected to the inner wall of the second clamping plate 222; one end of the second locking post 232 is connected to the inner wall of the first clamping plate 221, and the other end of the second locking post 232 is connected to the inner wall of the second clamping plate 222. The third limiting structure 33 includes a first locking groove 331 and a second locking groove 332, which are provided on the first connecting member 34. The first locking post 231 and the second locking post 232 can be respectively locked in the first locking groove 331 and the second locking groove 332, so as to limit the storage frame 3 in position when the storage frame 3 is in an unfolded or folded state.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 14 and 16, when the storage frame 3 is in the unfolded state, the first locking post 231 is engaged in the first locking groove 331, preventing the storage frame 3 from continuing to rotate counterclockwise (as viewed from FIG. 16), thereby limiting the storage frame 3 when it is in the unfolded state. When the storage frame 3 is in the folded state, the second locking post 232 is engaged in the second locking groove 332, preventing the storage frame 3 from continuing to rotate clockwise, thereby limiting the storage frame 3 when it is in the folded state. Of course, in other embodiments, the third limiting structure 33 and the fourth limiting structure 23 may also be other forms of structures.
As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, in an achievable manner, the second connecting member 22 further includes two cover shells 223, and the two cover shells 223 are respectively provided on opposite sides of the first clamping plate 221 and the second clamping plate 222 to cover the first clamping plate 221 and the second clamping plate 222 and improve the aesthetics. The two cover shells 223 are fixedly connected to each other by screws.
As shown in FIGS. 17a to 17d, in an achievable manner, the usage of the foldable treadmill can be as follows:
- (1) As shown in FIG. 17a, when the foldable treadmill is in normal use, the foldable treadmill is in the unfolded state, the pillar assembly 2 is kept in a standing position, the storage frame 3 is kept in a horizontal position, and the storage platform 4 is installed on the storage frame 3.
- (2) As shown in FIGS. 17b to 17d, when folding the treadmill, the storage platform 4 is first removed from the storage frame 3, then the storage frame 3 is rotated backwards to make it in the same plane as the pillar assembly 2, the switch 7 is unlocked and then the storage frame 3 and the pillar assembly 2 are rotated together backwards, so that the storage frame 3 and the pillar assembly 2 are rotated to a horizontal position and stored on the sides of the treadmill body 1.
- (3) When the treadmill needs to be reused, the folding steps mentioned above are reversed, that is, the pillar assembly 2 is rotated forward so that the pillar assembly 2 is rotated to a standing position, the switch 7 is then locked, thereafter the storage frame 3 is rotated forward to a horizontal position, and then the storage platform 4 is installed on the storage frame 3.
The foldable treadmill provided in the embodiments of the present application is provided with a storage frame 3 and a storage platform 4. The storage frame 3 is rotatably connected to the pillar assembly 2, and the storage platform 4 is detachably installed on the storage frame 3. When unfolding the foldable treadmill, the pillar assembly 2 is rotated to stay in a standing position, and the storage frame 3 is rotated to a horizontal position, so that the foldable treadmill is in an unfolded state. At this time, the storage platform 4 can be installed on the storage frame 3, and the users can place items such as mobile phones, tablets and so forth on the storage platform 4 to achieve the storage function of the treadmill. When folding the foldable treadmill, the storage platform 4 is first removed from the storage frame 3, and then, the storage frame 3 and the pillar assembly 2 are rotated to the sides of the treadmill body 1 to store the storage frame 3 and the pillar assembly 2, thereby achieving the folding and storage function of the treadmill. Moreover, during the folding process, the storage frame 3 is rotated to be in the same plane as the pillar assembly 2, thereby reducing the space occupied by the storage frame 3 in the folded state and facilitating folding. This foldable treadmill is not only provided with a storage platform 4 that can hold items such as mobile phones, tablets and so forth, but also has a folding function, making it convenient for the users to use.
The above are only the specific embodiments of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited to this. Any technical personnel familiar with this technical field who can easily think of changes or replacements within the scope of technology disclosed in the present application should be covered within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
