Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application refers to China Patent Application No. 202020389092.8, filed on Mar. 24, 2020 and entitled “Novel Rowing Machine Capable of Being Folded for Storage”, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of gym equipment, in particular, to a novel rowing machine capable of being folded for storage.

BACKGROUND

As people pay more and more attention to their health, proper exercises and fitness are also essential in addition to a reasonable diet and adequate sleep. In order to keep exercise and fitness as effective daily behaviors for a long time, and to avoid being affected by weather conditions and other factors as much as possible, most people use gym equipment to do exercises, so that people can do physical exercises at home.

Most sets of gym equipment achieve a strength-enhancing exercise effect mainly by setting different resistances. For example, a rowing machine is a kind of aerobic exercise apparatus that can improve the comprehensive abilities. Using the rowing machine to do exercise is like kayaking. During exercise time, muscles of the legs, the waist, the upper limbs and the back part work within short time due to the resistance of water and changes in the rotating speed of a rotating wheel.

However, during use, a traditional rowing machine is flatly placed on the ground, is relatively long, occupies a large area, cannot be folded for storage, and is not favorable for movement and storage. In order to solve this problem, Patent No. CN209405576U filed on Sep. 20, 2019 and entitled “Foldable Liquid Resistance Rowing Machine for Exercise” discloses a foldable liquid resistance rowing machine for exercise. A main frame bottom plate I is arranged on one side of a lower part of a main frame; a main frame bottom plate II is arranged on one side of the main frame bottom plate I; and the main frame bottom plate I and the main frame bottom plate II are connected through a folding part. The folding part is arranged between the main frame bottom plate I and the main frame bottom plate II, so that it is convenient to move and store the rowing machine.

Although the rowing machine can be folded and stored in the above scheme, the rowing machine is easily recovered to a spread state since wheels arranged at a bottom of the rowing machine move easily. Furthermore, if the rowing machine with a heavy weight slides to recover the spread state by its own, an extremely high impact force will be caused, and the rowing machine is easy to damage.

The present disclosure provides a novel rowing machine capable of being folded for storage, including a first bottom frame 100 and a second bottom frame 200 which are hinged to each other, wherein a bottom of the second bottom frame 200 is folded to be fitted to a bottom of the first bottom frame 100.

During specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a novel rowing machine capable of being folded for storage includes a first bottom frame 100 and a second bottom frame 200 which are hinged to each other. Specifically, the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200 are hinged through a pin shaft. A water resistor is arranged on the first bottom frame 100, and a seat is arranged on the second bottom frame 200. The seat may slide on the second bottom frame 200 in a reciprocating manner. The second bottom frame 200 may be folded along a hinged part with the first bottom frame 100 until the bottoms of the two frames are close and fitted to each other. That is, the second bottom frame 200 may rotate 180 degrees relative to the first bottom frame 100 to achieve a folding effect, so that the occupied space is reduced, and it is convenient to place and store the rowing machine after exercise.

The present disclosure provides a novel rowing machine capable of being folded for storage. By the arrangement of the first bottom frame and the second bottom frame which are hinged to each other, the rowing machine is foldable, so that an occupied space is reduced, and it is convenient to place and store the rowing machine after exercise.

Preferably, rollers 250 are arranged at bottoms of ends, away from each other, of the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200.

During specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the rollers 250 are arranged at the bottoms of the ends, away from each other, of the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200, so that it is conductive to folding and unfolding the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200.

Preferably, a folding handle 230 is further arranged at an end of the second bottom frame 200 hinged to the first bottom frame 100.

During specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the folding handle 230 is further arranged at the end of the second bottom frame 200 hinged to the first bottom frame 100. Specifically, the folding handle 230 is cylindrical, which facilitates holding with a hand. During folding, the folding handle 230 is pulled to enable the second bottom frame 200 and the first bottom frame 100 to be close to each other, thereby achieving the folding effect and improving the convenience of folding.

Preferably, one end of the first bottom frame 100 close to the second bottom frame 200 is provided with a fixed plate 260 used for mounting a hinged shaft; and the fixed plate 260 extends, relative to an end surface of the first bottom frame 100, to the outside to form a bulge.

During specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the end of the first bottom frame 100 close to the second bottom frame 200 is provided with the fixed plate 260 used for mounting a hinged shaft; and the fixed plate 260 extends, relative to the end surface of the first bottom frame 100, to the outside to form the bulge. That is, the fixed plate 260 is slightly higher than the end surface of the first bottom frame 100. During unfolding, the end surfaces of the second bottom frame 200 and the first bottom frame 100 can be accurately engaged to achieve a correcting and positioning effect.

Preferably, combining end surfaces of the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200 are sequentially composed of a vertical section and an inclined section from top to bottom.

During specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 1-FIG. 4, the combining end surfaces of the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200 are sequentially composed of the vertical section and the inclined section from top to bottom. By the adoption of the sections of this structure, when the folding handle 230 is lifted up, two ends of the rowing machine can be prevented from upwarping, which is conductive to natural folding of the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200. If only the vertical section is used, when the folding handle 230 is lifted up, the end away from the folding handle 230 easily upwarps, which is not favorable for folding.

Preferably, the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200 are correspondingly provided with fixing assemblies to prevent the folded first bottom frame 100 and second bottom frame 200 from being unfolded.

During specific implementation, the side surfaces of the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200 are correspondingly provided with the fixing assemblies to prevent the folded first bottom frame and second bottom frame from being unfolded, thus avoiding a damage.

Preferably, the fixing assemblies include a first stop pillar 110 and a rotatable handle 210 which are matched with each other; the rotatable handle 210 is hinged to a side surface of the second bottom frame 200; and the rotatable handle 210 is rotated to be matched with the first stop pillar 110 to prevent the folded first bottom frame 100 and second bottom frame 200 from being unfolded.

During specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the fixing assemblies include the first stop pillar 110 and the rotatable handle 210 which are matched with each other. Inner side surfaces of the first bottom frame 100 and second bottom frame 200 are correspondingly provided with the first stop pillar 110 and the rotatable handle 210. The rotatable handle 210 is hinged to the inner side surface of the second bottom frame 200. Specifically, the rotatable handle 210 is hinged to the second bottom frame 200 through a mounting shaft 240; one end of the mounting shaft 240 passes through a mounting hole 212 in the rotatable handle 210 and is fixed on the second bottom frame 200, and the other end is provided with a baffle plate for preventing the rotatable handle 210 from falling off. Specifically, the mounting shaft 240 is fixed on the second bottom frame 200 through a thread.

The rotatable handle 210 is rotated to be clamped with the first stop pillar 110. Specifically, an end of the rotatable handle 210 that is in contact with the first stop pillar 110 is provided with an “L”-shaped clamping jaw 213 to prevent the folded first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200 from being unfolded.

The first stop pillar and the rotatable handle are correspondingly arranged on the side surfaces of the first bottom frame and the second bottom frame. The rotatable handle and the first stop pillar are clamped with each other to prevent the folded first bottom frame and the second bottom frame from being accidentally unfolded, thereby avoiding a damage.

Preferably, a side surface of the second bottom frame 200 is further provided with a second stop pillar 220; and materials of the rotatable handle 210 and the second stop pillar 220 are magnetic materials attracting each other, so that one end of the rotatable handle 210 is fixed on the second stop pillar 220.

During specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 1, an inner side surface of the second bottom frame 200 is further provided with the second stop pillar 220; the materials of the rotatable handle 210 and the second stop pillar 220 are the magnetic materials attracting each other, so that one end of the rotatable handle 210 is fixed on the second stop pillar 220. When the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200 are in a spread state, the rotatable handle 210 can be rotated to enable one end of the rotatable handle to be magnetically sucked on the second stop pillar 220 to achieve fixing, thereby avoiding random swinging of the rotatable handle 210.

Preferably, the rotatable handle 210 is further in threaded connection with a screwing piece 211; and the screwing piece 211 is rotated to drive the rotatable handle 210 to move, so that the folded first bottom frame 100 and second bottom frame 200 are locked and fixed to each other.

During specific implementation, as shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the rotatable handle 210 is further in threaded connection with the screwing piece 211. The screwing piece 211 is arranged at an end of the rotatable handle 210 away from the clamping jaw 213, and an axial direction of the screwing piece is parallel to a lengthwise direction of the rotatable handle 210. A radius of the mounting hole 212 is greater than that of the mounting shaft 240, so that there is a moving space for the rotating handle 210 in a radial direction of the mounting shaft 240. One end of the screwing piece 211 is in contact with the mounting shaft 240, so that the screwing piece 211 may be rotated in situ. The screwing piece 211 is in threaded connection with the rotatable handle 210, so that the in-situ rotation of the screwing piece 211 will drive the rotatable handle 210 to radially move until the rotatable handle 210 and the first stop pillar 110 are tightly clamped. During carrying of the folded rowing machine, it is hard for the rotatable handle 210 to be separated from the first stop pillar 110, so that the folded first bottom frame 100 and second bottom frame 200 are locked and fixed to each other to prevent the folded first bottom frame 100 and second bottom frame 200 from being accidentally unfolded, thereby avoiding a damage.

Preferably, the screwing piece 211 is a hand bolt.

During specific implementation, the screwing piece 211 is the hand bolt. Compared with an ordinary bolt which needs to be screwed down for use by a screwdriver or other tools, the hand bolt can be directly screwed down with a hand for use to achieve a fastening process. No tool is used, and the convenience of locking is improved.

Preferably, the bottom of the first bottom frame 100 and the bottom of the second bottom frame 200 are correspondingly provided with magnetic plates attracting each other.

During specific implementation, the bottom of the first bottom frame 100 and the bottom of the second bottom frame 200 are correspondingly provided with the magnetic plates attracting each other, so that the firmness of combination of the bottom of the first bottom frame 100 and the bottom of the second bottom frame 200 during folding is further increased, thereby preventing the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200 from being accidentally unfolded.

Preferably, the bottom of the first bottom frame 100 and the bottom of the second bottom frame 200 are provided with buffer devices.

During specific implementation, the bottom of the first bottom frame 100 and the bottom of the second bottom frame 200 are provided with the buffer devices, so as to reduce an impact force generated by unfolding and falling of the first bottom frame 100 and the second bottom frame 200 and avoid a damage to equipment. Specifically, each buffer device is an elastic material, such as a spring, a sponge pad or a rubber pad.
