[0027] In the present invention, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a foldable hidden rowing machine is provided, comprising a shell 1 and a rowing body 2, wherein a storage cavity is formed inside the shell 1, the shell 1 comprises a shell body 11 and a shell cover 12 covering the top of the shell body 11, and a supporting surface 121 is formed on the top of the shell 1; the rowing body 2 comprises a pedal assembly 21, a damping assembly 22 and a sliding assembly 23, the damping assembly 22 and the sliding assembly 23 are located in the storage cavity, when the shell cover 12 is opened, the pedal assembly 21 can extend out of the storage cavity to be in use, and the pedal assembly 21 can be located in the storage cavity to be in a storage state, and at this time the shell cover 12 can close the storage cavity.

[0028] The foldable hidden rowing machine provided by the present invention has a rowing machine body 2 that can be used by the user for exercise. When the user does not need to use the rowing machine body 2, the pedal assembly 21 can be stored in the storage cavity, thereby reducing the space occupied by the rowing machine body 2 in the vertical direction. After the shell cover 12 is covered on the shell body 11, the support surface 121 formed on the top of the shell cover 12 can be used for the user to sit on, and can also be used to place items, thereby increasing the function of the rowing machine and making full use of the space occupied by the rowing machine. In addition, the rowing machine is more beautiful and not abrupt when placed, which can improve the cleanliness of the indoor environment and the rationality of the space layout.

[0029] Specifically, when the rowing machine is used at home, the user can match the rowing machine with furniture such as a sofa. When the user does not use the rowing machine body 2, the shell cover 12 can be closed to use the rowing machine as furniture such as a seat or a table. The height of the rowing machine in the storage state is preferably 35 mm to 55 mm, so that the user can use it as furniture.

[0030] Furthermore, the user can place the rowing machine in the living room, and the rowing machine can be matched with furniture such as sofas in the living room to improve the aesthetics of the rowing machine when placed. The user can place a cushion on the supporting surface 121 to improve the comfort when sitting. For example, for a family using an L-shaped sofa, the user can match the rowing machine with the sofa located at the corner to extend the length of the sofa, which is convenient for the user to sit or lie down. Moreover, the housing 1 of the rowing machine can be designed as a wooden pattern so that the housing 1 is integrated with the home decoration style, or it can be designed as other types of patterns, thereby providing users with a variety of choices. The user can also decorate the housing 1 according to the interior decoration style. Furthermore, the living room is an area where users often move around. The user can exercise at any time by placing the rowing machine in the living room, which is more convenient. Moreover, when the user uses the rowing machine body 2 for exercise, he can exercise while watching TV in the living room, or he can exercise while communicating with his family, which can improve the user experience. In addition, for families with a small indoor area and no space for placing fitness equipment, the rowing machine of the present invention can reduce the trouble of placing the rowing machine for users.

[0031] Furthermore, compared with the rowing body 2, the shell 1 is easier to clean. After the rowing body 2 is stored in the storage cavity, the shell 1 can block dust, thereby reducing the dust attached to the rowing body 2 and reducing the difficulty of cleaning. In addition, the shell 1 can play a protective role, preventing users from bumping into the sharper parts of the rowing body 2, improving the safety of use, so that the rowing machine can be placed in the living room for use, without the need to set up a separate hidden space for the rowing machine, which can save space, especially for families with children. The shell 1 can easily store the rowing body 2, reduce the harm caused to children, and thus reduce the trouble of placing the rowing machine for users. When the user needs to use the rowing body 2, the shell cover 12 can be opened and the pedal assembly 21 can be placed in the use state for exercise and fitness, without removing the shell body 11, which is convenient for users to use.

[0032] In addition, the rowing machine can be assembled in advance before leaving the factory to avoid difficulties for users in assembling the rowing machine. Moreover, the rowing machine body 2 is in a stored state during transportation, which can facilitate transportation and reduce the space occupied by the rowing machine during transportation.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, more specifically, the housing 11 includes a bottom plate 111, the rowing machine body 2 is mounted on the bottom plate 111, the bottom plate 111 is located at one end of the damping assembly 22 and forms a front cover 1111, the front cover 1111 forms an installation space, and at least a portion of the rowing machine body 2 is located in the installation space of the front cover 1111. Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, since the bottom plate 111 is located at one end of the damping assembly 22 which is not the user's exercise area, and when the user is exercising, some components of the rowing machine body 2 located at one end of the damping assembly 22 will operate. Therefore, the installation space formed by the front cover 1111 of the bottom plate 111 can be used to install some components of the rowing machine body 2. When the user uses the rowing machine body 2, the front cover 1111 can prevent the operating components from hurting other people, improve safety, and thus ensure that the rowing machine can be placed in the living room for use without setting up a separate hidden space for the rowing machine. In addition, the front cover can enhance the strength of the bottom plate 111, making the structure of the housing 1 more stable, especially when the user sits on the supporting surface 121, the housing 1 can bear the pressure applied by the user.

[0034] As for the form of the shell cover 12, in a preferred embodiment, more specifically, the shell cover 12 includes a separable first cover body 122 and a second cover body 123, the first cover body 122 is hinged to the front cover 1111, and the pedal assembly 21 is installed inside the first cover body 122.

When the user is exercising, the foot will apply a thrust to the pedal assembly 21, and the pedal assembly 21 is installed on the first cover 122, so that the first cover 122 can provide support for the pedal assembly 21. In addition, compared with the integrated shell cover 12, the first cover 122 and the second cover 123 are separable, and the first cover 122 has a small obstruction to the user's field of vision, so that the user has a wider field of vision and a better sports experience when exercising, and the user can open the first cover 122 and the second cover 123 in sequence, which is more labor-saving.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, more specifically, the damping assembly 22 is located in the installation space, the pedal assembly 21 is installed on the edge of the first cover 122, and when the first cover 122 is in an open state, the pedal assembly 21 extends obliquely downward in a direction away from the front cover 1111. Figure 1 As shown, when the user uses the rowing machine 2 for exercise, the damping assembly 22 will operate, and the front cover 1111 can prevent the damping assembly 22 from injuring other people when it is in operation, thereby improving safety. In addition, the pedal assembly 21 is installed at the edge of the first cover 122, with a large operating space, which is convenient for the user to step on. When the first cover 122 is opened, the pedal assembly 21 can be extended obliquely downward in a direction away from the front cover 1111, thereby ensuring that the user's foot can step on the pedal assembly 21.

[0036] Regarding the form of the front cover 1111, in a preferred embodiment, more specifically, the front cover 1111 is recessed inwardly, and its edge forms a limiting step 1112. When the first cover 122 is opened, the end of the second cover 123 abuts against the limiting step 1112. Figure 2 As shown, the limiting step 1112 can limit the opening range of the first cover 122 to improve the accuracy of the pedal assembly 21 and the user's foot. In addition, when the user's foot applies a thrust to the pedal assembly 21, the thrust is transmitted from the pedal assembly 21 to the first cover 122, and then from the first cover 122 to the limiting step 1112. The limiting step 1112 can support the first cover 122 to prevent the first cover 122 from continuing to rotate under the thrust.

[0037] Regarding the covering form of the first cover 122 and the second cover 123, in a preferred embodiment, more specifically, when the first cover 122 and the second cover 123 are covered on the shell body 11, the end of the second cover 123 abuts against the end of the first cover 122, and the top surface of the second cover 123 is roughly flush with the top surface of the first cover 122, which can reduce the gap between the first cover 122 and the second cover 123 and prevent debris, dust, etc. from entering the storage cavity. In addition, the top surfaces of the first cover 122 and the second cover 123 are roughly flush, which can improve the comfort of the user when sitting on the supporting surface 121, and when placing items, it can facilitate the placement of items and prevent the items from tilting.

[0038] It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the top surface of the second cover body 123 is substantially flush with the top surface of the first cover body 122 because manufacturing errors may cause the top surface of the second cover body 123 to be not absolutely flush with the top surface of the first cover body 122 .

[0039] To be more specific, the edge of the first cover 122 close to the second cover 123 forms an abutting slope 1221, and the edge of the second cover 123 close to the first cover 122 forms a supporting slope 1231. When the first cover 122 and the second cover 123 are covered on the shell 11, the abutting slope 1221 abuts against the supporting slope 1231, and the supporting slope 1231 is located below the abutting slope 1221. Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, when the first cover 122 and the second cover 123 are covered, the abutting inclined surface 1221 of the first cover 122 can press the supporting inclined surface 1231 of the second cover 123, thereby improving the stability of the first cover 122 and the second cover 123 when they are covered. When the user sits on the supporting surface 121, the inward depression of the supporting surface 121 can be reduced, and the comfort when sitting can be improved. Moreover, after the first cover 122 and the second cover 123 are covered, only the first cover 122 can be provided with a fixing structure to fix the first cover 122 on the shell body 11, and the second cover 123 can be provided with no fixing structure. Under the pressure applied by the abutting inclined surface 1221 of the first cover 122 to the supporting inclined surface 1231 of the second cover 123, the stability of the second cover 123 when it is covered on the shell body 11 can be improved, thereby simplifying the steps of fixing the shell cover 12, which is convenient for user operation.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, more specifically, the bottom plate 111 has a flange 1113 extending upward, the second cover 123 abuts against the upper edge of the flange 1113, and the second cover 123 and the flange 1113 are separable. Figure 3 As shown, the flange 1113 can improve the strength of the bottom plate 111 and can also support the second cover 123, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure of the housing 1. When the user sits on the supporting surface 121, the housing 1 can provide better support for the user. In addition, the second cover 123 and the flange 1113 can be separated, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, when using the rowing machine 2, the user can remove the second cover 123 from the shell 11 and turn the supporting surface 121 of the second cover 123 upward, so that objects can be placed on the supporting surface 121 of the second cover 123, which is more convenient.

[0041] for Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, more specifically, when the pedal assembly 21 is in use, the pedal assembly 21 is higher than the upper edge of the flange 1113. When the user fixes the foot on the pedal assembly 21, the operation space is large, which is convenient for the user to step on the pedal assembly 21 and to fix the foot on the pedal assembly 21.
