Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sports equipment, and particularly relates to a treadmill running board with heat dissipation, shock absorption and wear resistance. Background Art

[0002] When a user runs on a treadmill, the weight of the body exerts force on the running belt and the running board, causing high temperature to be generated under long-term high-speed friction between the rotating running belt and the running board. As a result, the structural layer of the running belt is easily damaged by the high temperature, and the running board and the running belt also quickly wear, shortening their service life. Therefore, currently, manufacturers will attach a wear-resistant and high-temperature-resistant surface layer to the running board and spray lubricating oil or wax on the surface layer to make the running belt and the running board smoother and reduce the friction force, so as to avoid resistance and high temperature caused by long-term friction. However, after using this method for a period of time, it is necessary for the user to add lubricating oil or wax again because the lubricating oil or wax disappears. However, most users will forget to replenish it after using it for a period of time, which is obviously extremely inconvenient and unreasonable for the user.

[0003] Therefore, how to develop a running board different from the traditional treadmill, so that the running board has the effect of heat dissipation, is the goal that the relevant industry needs to strive to research and develop. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the long-term friction between the running belt and the running board of the existing treadmill, resulting in increased frictional resistance between the running belt and the surface layer of the running board, generating high temperature and being unable to dissipate heat, causing rapid wear and shortening its service life, and even increasing the current burden on the motor, thereby affecting the entire electronic system.

[0005] Therefore, the present invention provides a treadmill running board with heat dissipation, shock absorption and wear resistance.

[0006] The present invention is implemented as follows:

[0007] The present invention provides a treadmill running board with heat dissipation, shock absorption and wear resistance. The treadmill running board is installed between the side frames on both sides of the treadmill and is provided for a running belt to wind around. It is characterized in that the treadmill running board includes:

[0008] A support plate;

[0009] A soft shock-absorbing layer, the bottom surface of the soft shock-absorbing layer is attached to the top surface of the support plate, and the length and width of the soft shock-absorbing layer are respectively smaller than the length and width of the support plate;

[0010] A flexible wear-resistant layer, the length and width of the flexible wear-resistant layer are respectively greater than the length and width of the soft shock-absorbing layer, and the width of the flexible wear-resistant layer is less than the width of the support plate. The bottom surface of the flexible wear-resistant layer is simultaneously attached to the top surface of the soft shock-absorbing layer and the support plate, and the remaining widths on both sides of the support plate after attaching the flexible wear-resistant layer are used to be fixed to the side frames on each side;

[0011] Two flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips, the longitudinal length of the flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips is between the length of the flexible wear-resistant layer and the soft shock-absorbing layer. The two flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips are longitudinally attached in parallel to the soft shock-absorbing layer and are located at the middle position of the support plate, and the bottom surfaces of the front and rear ends of the flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips are attached to the top surface of the support plate, so that the flexible wear-resistant layer completely covers the two flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips and the soft shock-absorbing layer on the support plate.

[0012] Wherein, in one embodiment, the soft shock-absorbing layer is made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyurethane or foam material.

[0013] Wherein, in one embodiment, the flexible wear-resistant layer is made of polyoxymethylene, polyethylene terephthalate or nylon material.

[0017] Wherein, in one embodiment, the two flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips are longitudinally attached to the bottom surface of the soft shock-absorbing layer and the top surface of the support plate respectively with their top and bottom surfaces, and their bottom surfaces of the front and rear ends are attached to the top surface of the support plate again.

[0018] Wherein, in one embodiment, the two metal heat-conducting foil strips are attached in parallel at intervals.

[0019] Wherein, in one embodiment, the thickness of the soft shock-absorbing layer is 0.2 - 0.3 cm, the thickness of the flexible wear-resistant layer is 0.1 - 0.2 mm, and the thickness of the flexible metal heat-conducting foil strip is 0.2 - 0.5 mm.

[0020] The present invention also provides a treadmill, characterized in that the treadmill includes the treadmill running board with heat dissipation, shock absorption and wear resistance as described in any one of the preceding items.

[0021] Through the technical solution provided by the present invention, the following technical effects are achieved:

[0022] 1. When the user steps on the running board and the running belt that rotates for a long time generates extremely high temperature between the running belt and the running board, the high temperature can be diverted and dissipated to the two flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips, the soft shock-absorbing layer, and even the support board, so as to avoid the concentration of high temperature in a certain area of the running board and cause damage to the running belt or the running board.

[0032] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] As Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a treadmill running board 103 with heat dissipation, shock absorption and wear resistance. The running board 103 is installed between the side frames 101 on both sides of the treadmill 1 and is provided for a running belt 102 to wind around. The running board includes: a support board 10. In this embodiment, the support board 10 is made of composite wood board; in other embodiments, the support board 10 can be made of other plates that can play a supporting role, such as composite laminate.

[0035] A soft shock-absorbing layer 20, the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 is attached to the top surface of the support board 10 with its bottom surface, and the thickness of the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 is 0.2 - 0.3 cm, and its length AA and width BB are respectively smaller than the length CC and width DD of the support board 10. Among them, the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 is made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), polyurethane (PU), or foam material;

[0036] A flexible wear-resistant layer 30, the thickness of the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 is 0.1 - 0.2 mm, and its length EE and width FF are respectively larger than the length AA and width BB of the soft shock-absorbing layer 20, and its width FF is smaller than the width DD of the support board 10. The flexible wear-resistant layer 30 is attached to the top surfaces of both the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 and the support board 10 with its bottom surface, and the remaining width G on both sides of the support board 10 after attaching the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 is used to fix the side frames 101 on each side. Among them, the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 is made of polyoxymethylene (POM), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or nylon material;

[0037] Two flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips 40, the flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips 40 are made of copper foil or aluminum foil material, and their thickness is 0.2 - 0.5 mm, and their longitudinal length HH is between the length EE of the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 and the length AA of the soft shock-absorbing layer 20. Among them, the two flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips 40 are longitudinally attached to the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 in parallel, and are located in the middle position of the support board 10 and are approximately spaced by the parallel distance of the user's two feet. Then, with their front and rear end bottom surfaces attached to the top surface of the support board 10, and the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 completely covers the two flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips 40 and the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 on the support board 10.

[0038] Among them, continuing the above description, the preferred attachment method of the two flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips 40 is as follows:

[0039] As Figures 1-4 shown in the figure, the two flexible metal heat-conducting foil strips 40 are longitudinally attached to the bottom surface of the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 and the top surface of the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 with their top and bottom surfaces respectively, and their front and rear end bottom surfaces are attached to the top surface of the support board 10.

[0040] AsFigures 1-4 As shown, the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 are attached between the bottom surface of the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 and the soft shock-absorbing layer 20. When the user runs on the running board 103, the rotating running belt 102 continuously rubs against the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 of the running board 103 for a long time. In addition, when the user steps on and presses the running belt 102, most of the time is concentrated on a certain area of the running board 103, resulting in extremely high temperatures between the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 of a certain area of the running board 103 and the running belt 102. At this time, the high temperature of the running belt 102 and the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 can be dissipated by the good heat-conducting characteristics of the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 below. The high temperature is diverted and dispersed onto the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40, and is dissipated through the top surfaces at the front and rear ends of the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 (there is a relatively low temperature difference between the top surfaces at the front and rear ends of the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 and the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 is not attached). Even, the high temperature can be further diverted and dispersed to the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 below through the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40.

[0041] Therefore, the high temperature generated between the running belt 102 and the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 can be diverted, dispersed and shared to the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 and the soft shock-absorbing layer 20. Thereby, the temperature between the running belt 102 and the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 can be reduced.

[0042] Based on the structure of the above specific embodiment, the following beneficial effects are also achieved:

[0043] First, when the user uses the treadmill, they usually step on the middle position of the running board 103. Therefore, in fact, it is a better attachment method that the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 are longitudinally attached to the middle position of the support plate 10 and are approximately spaced at the parallel distance of the user's two feet, so as to achieve the best effect of diverting and dissipating heat.

[0044] Second, the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 provides a buffering and shock-absorbing effect when the user steps on the running board 103.

[0045] Third, the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 provides a wear-resistant effect for the running board 103, so that the running board 103 is not easily damaged under the continuous rotation and friction of the running belt 102.

[0046] Therefore, in summary, the running board 103 simultaneously has the effects of effective heat dissipation, buffering and shock absorption, and wear resistance.

[0047] Embodiment 2

[0048] In this embodiment, except that the attachment method of the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 is different from that in Embodiment 1, the rest are the same as in Embodiment 1. In this embodiment, as Figures 5-6As shown, the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 are longitudinally attached to the bottom surface of the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 and the top surface of the support plate 10 with their top and bottom surfaces, and their front and rear bottom surfaces are further attached to the top surface of the support plate 10.

[0049] As Figures 5-6 shown, the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 are attached between the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 and the support plate 10. Therefore, the high temperature of the running belt 102 and the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 can be diverted and dispersed to the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 through the soft shock-absorbing layer 20 below, and dissipated through the top surfaces of the front and rear ends of the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 (there is a relatively low temperature difference formed because the top surfaces of the front and rear ends of the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40 are not attached to the flexible wear-resistant layer 30); even it can be further diverted, dispersed and shared to the support plate 10 on the bottom surface through the two flexible metal heat-conducting strips 40; hereby, the temperature between the running belt 102 and the flexible wear-resistant layer 30 can be reduced.
