Ellipse machine capable of adjusting slope of footplate locus

Abstract

An elliptical appliance able to regulate the slope of the tracing of pedal is disclosed. A guide mechanism is respectively arranged at front and back ends of a skeleton for respectively guiding the fist ends of left and right supporting rods to move along a closed tracing and their second ends to move along a reciprocating tracing, so making the pedals to move along an almost elliptical tracing. The third guide mechanism is used to make the pedal in horizontal state when it is at the lowest position or in a forward inclined state when it is at the highest position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to sports and fitness equipment, in particular to an elliptical machine (Elliptical) capable of adjusting the inclination of pedal tracks. Background technique [0002] The elliptical machine is a new kind of sports and fitness equipment in recent years. It generally refers to all kinds of left and right pedals that can guide the movement of the left and right pedals along an elliptical or similar shape for users to simulate walking, running, climbing steps and other leg exercises. installation. [0003] Generally, the pedal trajectory of the elliptical machine is mostly fixed. Although the user can usually change the exercise load by adjusting the travel resistance of the pedal (such as the magnetic resistance system commonly used in the industry), however, the fixed pedal trajectory means that the user The movement form of the legs is also immutable, so not only can't choose the movement form of personal preference or t...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Most of the above-mentioned conventional elliptical machines cannot present the aforementioned ideal conditions, and need to be improved in terms of ergonomic requirements

[0009] In addition, the cantilever structure disclosed in the aforementioned US Patent No. 5,685,804 (Fig. 15 of the case) is actually difficult or not suitable for making a dynamic adjustment device, so it is less convenient to use

Furthermore, when it is necessary to increase / decrease the slope of the pedal track, the length of the cantilever must be shortened / increased to increase / decrease the height difference between the front end and the rear end of the track, but because the front and rear ends of the track will rise or fall together , so the slope of the pedal track changes less significantly and the adjustable range is narrower

Moreover, when the cantilever is shortened, the pedals will be lifted to a higher position for movement, which will affect the user's ease of boarding the pedals and the sense of security when exercising
