Most of existing fitness machines have a single function. For example, a treadmill can only perform a running mode, a rowing machine can only perform a rowing mode, and an abdominal workout machine can only perform an abdominal workout mode. A user can always buy only one of them and do exercises in only one mode, because if the user buys all the apparatuses, too much space will be occupied.
Embodiments of the present application provide a multifunctional fitness device having multiple fitness modes.
In one aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a multifunctional fitness device. The device includes a support mechanism and a chassis mechanism. The support mechanism is rotatably connected to the chassis mechanism. When the support mechanism rotates and is fixed to a first position on the chassis mechanism, a first angle is formed between the support mechanism and the chassis mechanism, and the support mechanism is configured to cooperate with the chassis mechanism, such that the device is in a running mode. When the support mechanism rotates and is fixed to a second position on the chassis mechanism, a second angle is formed between the support mechanism and the chassis mechanism, and a supporting member in sliding connection with the support mechanism is configured to cooperate with the support mechanism, such that the device is in an abdominal workout mode. The second position is located between the first position and the chassis mechanism. When the support mechanism rotates and is fixed to a third position on the chassis mechanism, a third angle is formed between the support mechanism and the chassis mechanism, and a stretch member arranged on the support mechanism is configured to cooperate with the supporting member and the support mechanism, such that the device is in a rowing mode. The third position is located between the second position and the chassis mechanism.
In an embodiment, one end of the support mechanism may be rotatably connected with a hand-held member. When the support mechanism is in the first position, the hand-held member may be rotated to a first side of the support mechanism so as to be held by a user. When the support mechanism is in the second position, the hand-held member may be rotated to a second side of the support mechanism so as to be held by the user. An orientation of the first side with respect to the support mechanism may be different from an orientation of the second side with respect to the support mechanism. When the support mechanism is in the third position, the hand-held member may be rotated to the second side of the support mechanism for a back of the user to abut against.
In an embodiment, the support mechanism may include a main support and a supporting rod. The main support may be rotatably connected to one end of the chassis mechanism. A first end of the supporting rod may be rotatably connected to the main support, and a second end of the supporting rod may be in sliding connection with the chassis mechanism by means of a sliding member. When the support mechanism rotates from the first position to the second position, the second end of the supporting rod may slide from a fourth position close to the main support to a fifth position away from the main support, and the supporting rod may be configured to support the main support, such that the device is in the abdominal workout mode.
In an embodiment, the main support may be provided with a retractable portion. A position of the retractable portion on the main support may be between a position where the main support is connected with the first end of the supporting rod and a position where the main support is connected with the chassis mechanism, and the retractable portion may be configured to cooperate with the supporting rod, such that the support mechanism is switched between the first position and the third position. The supporting rod may be rotatably connected to the sliding member, such that the supporting rod is rotatable relative to the chassis mechanism. When the support mechanism rotates from the first position to the third position, the retractable portion of the main support may be stretched from a first length in a retracted state to a second length in an extended state to make the main support and the supporting rod rotate collaboratively, such that the main support abuts against the chassis mechanism, and thus, the device is switched from the running mode to the rowing mode.
In an embodiment, the support mechanism may be provided with a pedal member. The pedal member may be configured to cooperate with the stretch member, the supporting member and the support mechanism such that the device is in the rowing mode. The support mechanism may be provided with an accommodating cavity. The accommodating cavity may be configured to accommodate the pedal member.
In an embodiment, the stretch member may include a control portion, a stretch belt and a hand-held portion. The control portion may be connected to the support mechanism, and the stretch belt is configured to connect the control portion and the hand-held portion. The control portion may be configured to provide a resistance of the stretch belt, and the hand-held portion may be configured to be held by a user so as to stretch the stretch belt.
In an embodiment, the hand-held portion may be provided with a control switch. The control switch may be wirelessly connected with the control portion, and the control switch may be configured to control the control portion to adjust the resistance of the stretch belt.
In an embodiment, the hand-held portion may be provided with a connecting member. The connecting member may be detachably connected with the supporting member. When the support mechanism is in a first state and a second state, the hand-held portion may be fixed to the supporting member by means of the connecting member. When the support mechanism is in a third state, the hand-held portion may be separated from the supporting member.
In an embodiment, the supporting member may be connected with a sliding wheel, and the support mechanism may be provided with a sliding rail. The sliding rail may be configured for the sliding wheel to abut against, and abutting surfaces of the sliding wheel and the sliding rail may be in an inner arc shape.
In an embodiment, the support mechanism may be provided with a display screen. The display screen may be configured to display a first display content corresponding to the running mode, a second display content corresponding to the abdominal workout mode and a third display content corresponding to the rowing mode.
In embodiments of the present application, by adjusting the position of the support mechanism with respect to the chassis mechanism, the support mechanism rotates and is fixed to the first position on the chassis mechanism, such that the device is in the running mode; the support mechanism rotates and is fixed to the second position on the chassis mechanism, such that the device is in the abdominal workout mode; and the support mechanism rotates and is fixed to the third position on the chassis mechanism, such that the device is in the rowing mode. In this way, the fitness machine is switched between the three functions, so that a user can do exercises in different modes on one fitness machine and thereby exercise all parts of the body.

In the accompanying drawings, several implementations of the present application are shown in an exemplary and not limiting manner.
In the accompanying drawings, the same or corresponding reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.
The reference numerals are described as follows:
In order to make the objectives, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easier to understand, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present application. It is apparent that the described embodiments are only a part, but not all of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts should fall within the protection scope of the present application.
In one aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a multifunctional fitness device. The device includes a support mechanism 1 and a chassis mechanism 2. The support mechanism 1 is rotatably connected to the chassis mechanism 2. When the support mechanism 1 rotates and is fixed to a first position on the chassis mechanism 2, a first angle is formed between the support mechanism 1 and the chassis mechanism 2, and the support mechanism 1 is configured to cooperate with the chassis mechanism 2, such that the device is in a running mode. When the support mechanism 1 rotates and is fixed to a second position on the chassis mechanism 2, a second angle is formed between the support mechanism 1 and the chassis mechanism 2, and a supporting member 11 in sliding connection with the support mechanism 1 is configured to cooperate with the support mechanism 1, such that the device is in an abdominal workout mode. The second position is located between the first position and the chassis mechanism 2. When the support mechanism 1 rotates and is fixed to a third position on the chassis mechanism 2, a third angle is formed between the support mechanism 1 and the chassis mechanism 2, and a stretch member 12 arranged on the support mechanism 1 is configured to cooperate with the supporting member 11 and the support mechanism 1, such that the device is in a rowing mode. The third position is located between the second position and the chassis mechanism 2.
In embodiments of the present application, by adjusting the position of the support mechanism 1 with respect to the chassis mechanism 2, the support mechanism 1 rotates and is fixed to the first position on the chassis mechanism 2, such that the device is in the running mode; the support mechanism 1 rotates and is fixed to the second position on the chassis mechanism 2, such that the device is in the abdominal workout mode; the support mechanism 1 rotates and is fixed to the third position on the chassis mechanism 2, such that the device is in the rowing mode. In this way, the fitness machine is switched between the three functions, so that a user can do exercises in different modes on one fitness machine and thereby exercise all parts of the body. Moreover, since the supporting member 11 and the stretch member 12 are integrated on the support mechanism 1, after mode switching, the fitness device according to embodiments of the present application can be directly used and does not need to be used in cooperation with other additional fitness components.
In embodiments of the present application, the shape of the support mechanism 1 is not limited, and the support mechanism 1 is connected to the chassis mechanism 2. The chassis mechanism 2 is configured to realize the running function. The device may be placed on a contact surface by means of the chassis mechanism 2 to achieve the placement of the device.
When the device is in the running mode, the support mechanism 1 rotates and is fixed to the first position on the chassis mechanism 2, and the first angle is formed between the support mechanism 1 and the chassis mechanism 2. The specific value of the first angle is not limited, as long as the support mechanism 1 is nearly perpendicular to the chassis mechanism 2. Specifically, the first angle may be set, for example, within the range of 75° to 95°. The specific value is not limited, as long as a space for the user to run can be formed between the support mechanism 1 and the chassis mechanism 2 such that the runner can run on the chassis mechanism 2. Preferably, the support mechanism may be inclined toward the position where the user stands, so that the user can operate the device. The chassis mechanism 2 at least includes a belt, a driving member and a chassis support. The driving member drives the belt to move relative to the chassis support, so that the user can run on the chassis mechanism 2. Further, the chassis mechanism 2 may be wirelessly connected with a control mechanism. The control mechanism is configured to control specific parameters in the running mode, for example, running speed, etc.
When the device is in the abdominal workout mode, the support mechanism 1 rotates and is fixed to the second position of the chassis mechanism 2, and the second angle is formed between the support mechanism 1 and the chassis mechanism 2. The second position is located between the first position and the chassis mechanism 2, and is not specifically limited. The supporting member 11 is in sliding connection with the support mechanism 1. Specifically, the supporting member 11 may be a supporting pad. The supporting member 11 is configured to support parts of the human body, which may specifically be knees, buttocks or back. A supporting surface is arranged on a side of the support mechanism 1 facing away from the chassis mechanism 2. Therefore, when the support mechanism 1 rotates toward the chassis mechanism 2, the supporting member 11 faces up during the rotation of the support mechanism 1 and thus can support the user. With the cooperation between the supporting member 11 and the support mechanism 1, the device can work in the abdominal workout mode. Specifically, the user may abut the knees against the supporting member 11, and make the supporting member 11 slide on the support mechanism 1 by means of the strength of the abdomen. Further, the support mechanism 1 is provided with a hand-held portion 123, so that the user can easily perform the abdominal workout.
When the device is in the rowing mode, the support mechanism 1 rotates and is fixed to the third position on the chassis mechanism 2, and the third angle is formed between the support mechanism 1 and the chassis mechanism 2. The third position is located between the second position and the chassis mechanism 2. Preferably, in the third position, the support mechanism 1 may abut against the chassis mechanism 2. The supporting member 11 is used for the user to ride on. The user may hold the stretch member 12 with hands and exert force jointly with the feet, waist and hands to stretch the stretch member 12 backwards, so that the supporting member 11 slides relative to the support mechanism 1, thereby simulating the rowing action. Further, the support mechanism 1 may be provided with a pedal member 17 for use in combination. In these embodiments, by setting three different modes, the user can exercise different parts of the body, thereby realizing multiple functions on one device.
In an embodiment, one end of the support mechanism 1 is rotatably connected with a hand-held member 13. When the support mechanism 1 is in the first position, the hand-held member 13 is rotated to a first side of the support mechanism 1 so as to be held by the user. When the support mechanism 1 is in the second position, the hand-held member 13 can be rotated to a second side of the support mechanism 1 so as to be held by the user. An orientation of the first side with respect to the support mechanism 1 may be different from an orientation of the second side with respect to the support mechanism 1. Specifically, the orientation of the first side with respect to the support mechanism 1 may be opposite to the orientation of the second side with respect to the support mechanism 1. When the support mechanism 1 is in the third position, the hand-held member 13 can be rotated to the second side of the support mechanism 1 for the back of the user to abut against.
In the embodiment, one end of the support mechanism 1 which is rotatably connected with the hand-held member 13 may specifically be an end of the support mechanism 1 away from the chassis mechanism 2 which is provided with the hand-held member 13. The hand-held member 13 may specifically refer to a handrail, and the shape of the hand-held member 13 is not limited. Preferably, the hand-held member may be circular or square in shape. When the support mechanism 1 is in the first position, i.e., the device is in the running mode, the hand-held member 13 is rotated to the first side of the support mechanism 1 so as to be held by the user. The first side may specifically be the side of the chassis mechanism 2 at which the user stands. Since the hand-held member 13 is rotatable, the user may freely adjust the hand-held member according to the body height, so as to do exercise conveniently. When the support mechanism 1 is in the second position, i.e., the device is in the abdominal workout mode, the hand-held member 13 is rotated to the second side of the support mechanism. The second side refers to the side facing away from the chassis mechanism 2. The user may abut the knees against the supporting member 11 and hold the hand-held member 13 with both hands to make the supporting member 11 slide relative to the support mechanism 1, thereby better performing abdominal workout and ensuring the safety during exercises. When the support mechanism 1 is in the third position, i.e., the device is in the rowing mode, the hand-held member 13 is rotated to the second side of the support mechanism. When the user moves toward the hand-held member 13 in the rowing mode, the hand-held member 13 can also function as a backrest, thereby protecting the user and preventing the user from moving backward out of the range of the fitness device when performing the rowing action. Further, a fastener may be arranged between the hand-held member 13 and the support mechanism 1, so that after the hand-held member 13 is adjusted to a designated position, it can be fastened by means of the fastener, thereby ensuring the safety during exercises. A damping effect may be achieved by adjusting the friction between the hand-held member 13 and the support mechanism 1 so as to realize the same effect as described above.
In an embodiment, the support mechanism 1 includes a main support 14 and a supporting rod 15. The main support 14 is rotatably connected to one end of the chassis mechanism 2. A first end of the supporting rod 15 is rotatably connected to the main support 14, and a second end of the supporting rod 15 is in sliding connection with the chassis mechanism 2 by means of a sliding member. When the support mechanism 1 rotates from the first position to the second position, the second end of the supporting rod 15 slides from a fourth position close to the main support 14 to a fifth position away from the main support 14, and the supporting rod 15 is configured to support the main support 14, such that the device is adjusted into the abdominal workout mode.
In the embodiment of the present application, the support mechanism 1 includes the main support 14 and the supporting rod 15. The supporting rod 15 is configured to support the main support 14, so that the main support 14 is more stable. The main support 14 is rotatably connected to one end of the chassis mechanism 2. Further, the chassis mechanism 2 may be provided with an arc-shaped bump or recess matched with the main support 14 such that the main support 14 can rotate better. There may be two supporting rods 15 respectively arranged on two sides of the main support 14. The first end of each supporting rod 15 is rotatably connected to the main support 14, and the second end of each supporting rod 15 is in sliding connection with the chassis mechanism 2 by means of the sliding member. Specifically, the sliding member may be L-shaped so as to be better embedded to the two sides of the chassis mechanism 2, thereby realizing the sliding function without interfering with the normal operation of the running mode. When the support mechanism 1 rotates from the first position to the second position, the second end of the supporting rod 15 slides from the fourth position close to the main support 14, which is connected with the chassis mechanism, to the fifth position away from the main support 14, so that the main support 14 can be stably kept in the second position, thereby providing better user experience. Further, the fourth position and the fifth position on the chassis mechanism 2 may be provided with a limit member or a fastener, so that the support mechanism 1 can be stably kept in the first position or the second position. Specifically, when the fourth position is provided with the limit member, the second end of the supporting rod 14 abuts against the limit member, and the limit member is configured to limit the supporting rod 15 from continuing moving toward the main support 14, so that the support mechanism 1 is kept in the first position. Similarly, when the fifth position is provided with the limit member, the second end of the supporting rod 14 abuts against the limit member, and the limit member is configured to limit the supporting rod 15 from continuing moving away from the main support 14, so that the support mechanism 1 is kept in the second position. When the limit member is replaced with the fastener, the second end of the supporting rod 14 is fastened to the fourth position or the fifth position. The limit member may be a limit block, a limit post or a limit switch. In another implementation, the first end of the supporting rod 15 may be provided with the fastener, so that the support mechanism 1 can also be stably kept in the first position or the second position. Further, when the second end of the supporting rod 15 is in the fourth position, the supporting rod 15 and the main support 14 form an acute angle, as shown in
Further, the main support 14 is further provided with a retractable portion 16. A position of the retractable portion 16 on the main support 14 is between a position where the main support 14 is connected with the first end of the supporting rod 15 and a position where the main support 14 is connected with the chassis mechanism 2, and the retractable portion 16 is configured to cooperate with the supporting rod 15 to realize that the support mechanism 1 is switched between the first position and the third position. Specifically, the supporting rod 15 is rotatably connected to the sliding member. When the support mechanism 1 rotates from the first position to the third position, the retractable portion 16 of the main support 14 is stretched from a first length in a retracted state to a second length in an extended state to make the main support 14 and the supporting rod 15 rotate collaboratively, such that the main support 14 abuts against the chassis mechanism 2, and thus, the device is switched from the running mode to the rowing mode. Specifically, one end of the retractable portion 16 may be provided with a fastener 161, which can lock the retractable portion 16 when the retractable portion 16 extends to the second length or retracts to the first length, so that the main support 14 can be stably kept in the first position or the third position, i.e., the running mode or the rowing mode.
Further, while the device of the embodiment of the present application is switched from the running mode to the abdominal workout mode, the retractable portion 16 may not have to extend or retract. When the device of the embodiment of the present application is in the abdominal workout mode, the retractable portion 16 may be adjusted to adjust the supporting height, so as to meet the exercise needs of people of different heights.
In an embodiment, the support mechanism 1 is provided with a pedal member 17. The pedal member 17 is configured to cooperate with the stretch member 12, the supporting member 11 and the support mechanism 1, so that the device works in the rowing mode. The support mechanism 1 is provided with an accommodating cavity 18. The accommodating cavity 18 is configured to accommodate the pedal member 17.
In the embodiment of the present application, the support mechanism 1 is provided with the pedal member 17. There may be two pedal members 17 arranged on two sides of the support mechanism 1. Specifically, the pedal members 17 may be rotatably connected to the support mechanism 1. When the device is in the rowing mode, the user may sit on the supporting member 11 while putting the feet on the pedal members 17 and holding the stretch member 12 with the hands, thereby realizing the rowing action. Further, the position on the support mechanism 1 corresponding to the pedal member 17 is provided with the accommodating cavity 18. When the support mechanism 1 is not in the rowing mode, the pedal member 17 can be accommodated in the accommodating cavity 18. Specifically, the accommodating cavity 18 may be provided with an opening facing the pedal member 17, through which the pedal member 17 can be put in. The pedal member 17, which is rotatably connected to the support mechanism 1, may rotate toward the inside of the accommodating cavity 18 and enter the accommodating cavity 18, so that the pedal member 17 is accommodated. In addition, the pedal member 17 may be detachably arranged on the support mechanism 1, and then the pedal member 17 may be manually put into the accommodating cavity 18.
In an embodiment, the stretch member 12 includes a control portion 121, a stretch belt 122 and a hand-held portion 123. The control portion 121 is connected to the support mechanism 1, and the stretch belt 122 is configured to connect the control portion 121 and the hand-held portion 123. The control portion 121 is configured to provide a resistance of the stretch belt 122, and the hand-held portion 123 is configured to be held by the user so as to stretch the stretch belt 122.
In the embodiment of the present application, the control portion 121 is connected to the support mechanism 1. The control portion 121 may include a display panel. The user may view and adjust control parameters by operating the display panel, including adjusting the resistance of the stretch belt 122 in the stretch member 12. Specifically, the control portion 121 may provide the resistance by means of magnetism. The stretch belt 122 is connected with the hand-held portion 123, and the hand-held portion 123 is configured to be held by the user so as to stretch the stretch belt 122. The hand-held portion 123 may be provided with a connecting member 125. The connecting member 125 may be detachably connected to the supporting member 11. Specifically, the connection may be realized by means of the cooperation between a cylinder and a hole. When the support mechanism 1 is in a first state and a second state, the hand-held portion 123 is fixed to the supporting member 11 by means of the connecting member 125. When the support mechanism 1 is in a third state, the hand-held portion 123 is separated from the supporting member 11. When the device works in the running mode, the corresponding state of the support mechanism 1 is the first state. When the device works in the abdominal workout mode, the corresponding state of the support mechanism 1 is the second state. When the device works in the rowing mode, the corresponding state of the support mechanism 1 is the third state. Specifically, when the support mechanism 1 is in the second position, i.e., in the abdominal workout mode, the stretch member 12 may be connected to the supporting member 11 to provide the resistance for the supporting member 11, thereby meeting the needs of different users. Further, the hand-held portion 123 is provided with a control switch 124. The control switch 124 is wirelessly connected with the control portion 121, and the control switch 124 is configured to control the control portion 121 to adjust the resistance of the stretch belt 122. Further, there may be two control switches 124 respectively arranged on left and right handles of the hand-held portion 123. The control switch on one side is configured to control the stretch belt 122 to increase the resistance, and the control switch on the other side is configured to control the stretch belt 122 to reduce the resistance, so that when performing the rowing action, the user can adjust the size of the resistance by means of the control switches 124 arranged on the hand-held portion 123 without leaving the device, which is convenient and fast.
In an embodiment, the supporting member 11 is connected with a sliding wheel 112, and the support mechanism 1 is provided with a sliding rail 111. The sliding rail 111 is configured for the sliding wheel 112 to abut against, and abutting surfaces of the sliding wheel 112 and the sliding rail 111 are in an inner arc shape.
In the embodiment of the present application, the supporting member 11 is provided with the sliding wheel 112, and the sliding wheel 112 is in an inner circular arc shape, i.e., the arc of the sliding wheel 112 is recessed toward the central axis of the sliding wheel 112. The sliding rail 111 is configured to cooperate with the structure of the sliding wheel 112, so that the supporting member 11 can slide on the support mechanism 1 more stably, it is not easy to shake, and also has the positioning effect.
In an embodiment, the support mechanism 1 is provided with a display screen 3. The display screen 3 is configured to display a first display content corresponding to the running mode, a second display content corresponding to the abdominal workout mode and a third display content corresponding to the rowing mode.
In the embodiment, the display screen 3 is arranged on one end of the support mechanism 1, so that the user can adjust the display contents, voice packets and the like corresponding to different modes when doing exercises. The first display content may be a display content related to the running action. The second display content may be a display content related to the abdominal workout action. The third display content may be a display content related to the rowing action. The display content may specifically include a text content, an image content, a video content and the like. Specifically, the hand-held member 13 may be arranged on two sides of the display screen 3, such that the user can hold the hand-held member 13 with hands so as to operate the display screen 3. Further, the display screen may include a voice function, and the user may control the device by means of voice, so that the user can control the device during exercises, thereby improving the user experience.
