Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of fitness equipment, and in particular, to a high-reliability adjustable dumbbell.

BACKGROUND

With the improvement of the living standard and the increasing concern for health, fitness has become a part of the daily life. Dumbbells, as important fitness equipment, are widely used in homes and gyms. A traditional dumbbell is usually composed of metal plates with fixed weights. A user needs to spend a lot of time and use a lot of effort in replacing dumbbells with different weights. This is very inconvenient for high-intensity interval training or a training mode that require frequent weight changing. In addition, the traditional dumbbell further has the following problems during use: Firstly, it is inconvenient to adjust the weight because dumbbell plates need to be manually removed and mounted. Secondly, a storage space is relatively large because dumbbells with various weights require a large storage space. Thirdly, the safety of use is relatively low because the dumbbell plates are easily loosened during movement, causing a safety potential hazard.

In recent years, there have been some weight-adjustable dumbbell products on the market. These dumbbell products usually achieve the function of quickly adjusting the weight of the dumbbell through a central handle and a set of internal mechanism. Although these products have solved some of the problems of the traditional dumbbell, there are still some shortcomings in practical use, such as, unsmooth adjustment, a high failure rate caused by a complex structure, inability of self-lock when the product is placed on a base, and falling of a dumbbell plate when the product is picked up. Therefore, a high-reliability adjustable dumbbell is provided, which solves the above problems.

SUMMARY

The present disclosure aims to provide a high-reliability adjustable dumbbell, which has a simple structure and is convenient to operate. When not in use, the adjustable dumbbell can be locked on a base. During use, a handle can be locked and prevented from rotating, thereby preventing dumbbell plates from falling off accidentally.

The present disclosure provides a high-reliability adjustable dumbbell, including a base for placing dumbbell plates, dumbbell plates, a handle, and several chucks mounted on a rod body. Rotation of the handle drives the chucks to rotate, and the chucks are clamped with or staggered from the dumbbell plates, to achieve automatic adjustment of the weight of the dumbbell. The high-reliability adjustable dumbbell further includes self-locking modules mounted on the rod body. Each self-locking module includes a stopper plate, a first locking disk, a second locking disk, a shell, a locking block, a cover plate, and a fixed frame. The first locking disk is fixed on an inner side of the stopper plate, and the second locking disk is clamped with the stopper plate. The first locking disk and the second locking disk are both provided with convex sheets spaced apart from each other. The fixed frame is fixed on the cover plate. The cover plate seals the fixed frame, the first locking disk, and the second locking disk inside the shell. The locking block is mounted in the fixed frame through a reset spring. The stopper plate is rotatably mounted on the shell and is clamped with the handle. The base is further provided with a convex block and a locking plate. When the handle rotates, the handle drives the stopper plate, the first locking disk, the second locking disk, and the convex sheets to rotate. When the dumbbell is placed on the base, the convex block on the base jacks up the locking block, so that the convex sheets of the second locking disk can automatically pass through a locking slot of the locking block, and the handle can freely rotate to achieve weight adjustment. When the dumbbell is separated from the base, the locking block presses down the reset spring, so that the convex sheets of the second locking disk are locked on the locking block, and the second locking disk cannot rotate. Thus, the handle cannot rotate, and the dumbbell plates cannot be separated from the chucks. When the convex sheets of the first locking disk are locked on the locking plate of the base, the dumbbell and the base are locked, and the dumbbell is fixed on the base.

Preferably, annular through holes are distributed on inner sides of the convex sheets of the second locking disk; the fixed frame is provided with a pressing ball for pressing the through holes of the second locking disk; and an elastic member for resisting against the second locking disk is further mounted on the stopper plate to reduce friction during the rotation of the second locking disk.

Preferably, the base is provided with several grooves configured to place the dumbbell plates to restrict the dumbbell plates from being loosened.

Preferably, the dumbbell plates are “U”-shaped, which are provided with sunken surfaces in centers; the sunken surfaces abut against the chucks; the chucks clamp clamping blocks protruding out of the sunken surfaces of the dumbbell plates through clamping rings.

Further, circumferential areas occupied by the clamping rings on the chucks decrease in sequence from a position close to the handle to a position away from the handle, to achieve weight adjustment on the dumbbell plates.

Preferably, decorative covers are mounted at two ends of the rod body, and the decorative covers are fixedly connected to the self-locking modules through the connecting sheets.

Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has the following outstanding advantages:

• • high safety: The unique design of the self-locking modules ensures the stability of the dumbbell during use and prevents the dumbbell plates from sliding off during movement, thus ensuring the safety of use by a user. Meanwhile, the dumbbell can be locked on the base to prevent accidental collision and falling of the dumbbell plates.

The high-reliability adjustable dumbbell has a compact structure and high safety, and parts have a simple and reliable structure. In summary, the adjustable dumbbell of the present disclosure not only overcomes many shortcomings in the prior art, but also has many advantages. It is ideal household and commercial fitness equipment.

To make the technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure clearer, the following further describes implementations of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 11, the present disclosure provides a high-reliability adjustable dumbbell, including a base 1 for placing dumbbell plates 2, the dumbbell plates 2, a handle 3, and several chucks 34 mounted on a rod body 33. Rotation of the handle 3 drives the chucks 34 to rotate, and the chucks 34 are clamped with or staggered from the dumbbell plates 2, to achieve automatic adjustment of the weight of the dumbbell. The high-reliability adjustable dumbbell further includes self-locking modules 32 mounted on the rod body 33. Each self-locking module 32 includes a stopper plate 31, a first locking disk 322, a second locking disk 324, a shell 321, a locking block 326, a cover plate 329, and a fixed frame 327. The first locking disk 322 is fixed on an inner side of the stopper plate 31, and the second locking disk 324 is clamped with the stopper plate 31. The first locking disk 322 and the second locking disk 324 are both provided with convex sheets 3221 spaced apart from each other. The fixed frame 327 is fixed on the cover plate 329. The cover plate 329 seals the fixed frame 327, the first locking disk 322, and the second locking disk 324 inside the shell 321. The locking block 326 is mounted in the fixed frame 327 through a reset spring 325. The stopper plate 31 is rotatably mounted on the shell 321 and is clamped with the handle 3. The base 1 is further provided with a convex block 12 and a locking plate 11. When the handle 3 rotates, the handle drives the stopper plate 31, the first locking disk 322, the second locking disk 324, and the convex sheets 3221 to rotate. When the dumbbell is placed on the base 1, the convex block 12 on the base 1 jacks up the locking block 326, so that the convex sheets 3221 of the second locking disk 324 can automatically pass through a locking slot of the locking block 326, and the handle 3 can freely rotate to achieve weight adjustment. When the dumbbell is separated from the base 1, the locking block 326 presses down the reset spring 325, so that the convex sheets 3221 of the second locking disk 324 are locked on the locking block 326, and the second locking disk 324 cannot rotate. Thus, the handle 3 cannot rotate, and the dumbbell plates 2 cannot be separated from the chucks 34. When the convex sheets 3221 of the first locking sheets 322 are locked on the locking plate 11 of the base 1, the dumbbell and the base 1 are locked, and the dumbbell is fixed on the base 1. The base 1 is provided with several grooves 13 configured to place the dumbbell plates 2 to restrict the dumbbell plates 2 from being loosened. The dumbbell plates 2 are “U”-shaped, which are provided with sunken surfaces 22 in centers; the sunken surfaces 22 abut against the chucks 34; the chucks 34 clamp clamping blocks 21 protruding out of the sunken surfaces 22 of the dumbbell plates 2 through clamping rings 341.

As shown in FIG. 4, circumferential areas occupied by the clamping rings 341 on the chucks 34 decrease in sequence a position close to the handle 3 to a position away from the handle 3, to achieve weight adjustment on the dumbbell plates 2.

As shown in FIG. 8, annular through holes are distributed on inner sides of the convex sheets 3221 of the second locking disk 324; the fixed frame 327 is provided with a pressing ball 328 for pressing the through holes of the second locking disk 324; and an elastic member 323 for resisting against the second locking disk 324 is further mounted on the stopper plate 31 to reduce friction during the rotation of the second locking disk 324. Decorative covers 36 are mounted at two ends of the rod body 33, and the decorative covers 36 are fixedly connected to the self-locking modules 32 through connecting sheets 37.

To have a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the content disclosed by the present disclosure, the principle will be further explained in conjunction with its usage.

During use, the dumbbell is placed on the base 1. As shown in FIG. 9 to FIG. 11, the locking block 326 of the fixed frame 327 is jacked up by the convex block 12 of the base 1. The convex sheets 3221 of the second locking plate 324 can freely pass through a locking slot of the locking block 326. At this time, the handle 3 is rotated. The handle 3 will drive the stopper plate 31 to rotate. The first locking disk 322 fixed on the stopper plate 31 will also rotate. The stopper plate 31 further drives the second locking disk 324 and transmission ends 342 of the several chucks 34 to rotate with each other. As shown in FIG. 4, when the clamping rings 341 of the chucks 34 rotate to the clamping blocks 21 of the dumbbell plates 2, they will clamp the corresponding dumbbell plates 2, thereby changing the weight of the dumbbell.

If a pointer of the shell 321 does not face a pointer on the stopper plate 31 and is located between two numbers, the convex sheets 3221 of the first locking disk 322 may clamp the locking plate 11 of the base 1, so that the dumbbell cannot be separated from the base 1.

In exercise, the handle 3 is rotated to assign scale on the stopper plate 31 to corresponding weights. At this time, the first locking disk 322 is staggered from the locking plate 11 of the base 1, and the dumbbell can be separated from the base 1, as shown in FIG. 7. When the dumbbell is separated from the base 1, as shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 11, the locking block 326 is pressed down by the reset spring 325, and the convex sheets 3221 of the second locking disk 324 is locked by the locking block 326. The second locking disk 324 cannot rotate, which causes the handle 3 to be unable to rotate, and the dumbbell plates 2 cannot be separated from the chucks 34, thereby achieving self-locking and ensuring the safety.

Those skilled in the art will easily come up with other implementations of the present disclosure after considering this specification and implementing the present disclosure. The present disclosure aims to cover any variations, uses, or adaptive changes of the present disclosure, and these variations, uses, or adaptive changes follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include common knowledge or customary technical means in the technical field that are not disclose herein.
