[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fitness equipment, in particular to an automatic slope lifting and folding structure and a treadmill using the same. Background Art

[0002] Some fitness equipment requires adjustment of the inclination angle during use. For example, when using a dumbbell bench to perform dumbbell bench press or dumbbell fly training, it is often necessary to adjust the inclination angle of the dumbbell bench work surface to adjust the training intensity and effect. For example, when using an abdominal muscle board to perform sit-up training, it is often necessary to adjust the inclination angle of the abdominal muscle board work surface to perform sit-up training of different intensities. For example, when using a treadmill to run, it is often necessary to lift the front of the treadmill work surface to form a certain inclination angle to simulate the process of climbing a slope.

[0003] Moreover, when the above-mentioned fitness equipment is in use, it usually extends horizontally for a long distance on the ground, which takes up a lot of space. Therefore, there is a need for a device that can be applied to the above-mentioned various types of fitness equipment, which can adjust the inclination angle and fold the fitness equipment through a simple structure.

[0033] An automatic slope lifting and folding structure, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes a base frame 1, a support frame 2, a workbench 3 and a telescopic rod 4; the base frame 1 is fixed, specifically in this example, the base frame 1 is used to be placed on the ground; the front of the support frame 2 is pivotally connected to the base frame 1 through a first rotating shaft 5 extending left and right, and the rear of the support frame 2 is movably arranged so that the rear of the support frame 2 can swing up and down; the front of the workbench 3 is pivotally connected to the rear of the support frame 2 through a second rotating shaft 6 extending left and right to move with the swing of the rear of the support frame 2, and the rear of the workbench 3 is movably arranged so that the rear of the workbench 3 can swing up and down relative to the support frame 2; the telescopic rod 4 is located below the support frame 2 and the workbench 3, and can be any existing telescopic rod structure, preferably an electrically retractable one, and of course a pneumatic one can also be used. Dynamic telescopic or hydraulic telescopic, not limited to this, the front of the telescopic rod 4 is hinged on the base frame 1, and the rear is connected to the workbench 3. The second rotating shaft 6 is located higher than the first rotating shaft 5, so that when the telescopic rod 4 contracts and pulls the workbench 3 forward, it can drive the rear of the support frame 2 to swing up and prop up the front of the workbench 3, so as to raise the front of the workbench 3, so that the workbench 3 forms a slope with a high front and a low back, and the inclination angle of the workbench 3 can be adjusted. The hinge point between the telescopic rod 4 and the base frame 1 is located below the first rotating shaft 5, and the telescopic rod 4 is low in front and high in the back, and is tilted, so that after the telescopic rod 4 is extended, it can push the rear of the workbench 3 to swing up, so that the workbench 3 stands up, so as to realize the standing and folding of the workbench 3 and reduce the space occupied by the workbench 3.

[0034] When the telescopic rod 4 is extended and pushes the rear part of the workbench 3 to swing up, the front part of the workbench 3 will bring the rear part of the support frame 2 up with it. At this time, if the swinging between the workbench 3 and the support frame 2 is not restricted, there will be a certain uncertainty in the posture change of the structure. Therefore, preferably in this embodiment, a first limiting portion 7 is formed on the support frame 2, and a second limiting portion 8 is formed on the workbench 3. The first limiting portion 7 and the second limiting portion 8 are located in front of the second rotation axis 6. When the rear part of the workbench 3 swings up, the second limiting portion 8 can abut downward on the first limiting portion 7 to limit the swinging between the workbench 3 and the support frame 2; more preferably, in order to make the fixation more secure, the first limiting portion 7 It is U-shaped with the opening facing upward, and the second limiting portion 8 is used to slide into the first limiting portion 7 from the U-shaped opening of the first limiting portion 7 and abut against the first limiting portion 7; more specifically, in the present embodiment, the support frame 2 is composed of a left support arm 11 and a right support arm 12, which are symmetrically arranged and respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the workbench 3. The second limiting portion 8 is respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the workbench 3, and the second limiting portion 8 is in the shape of a horizontal pin. A U-shaped first limiting portion 7 is respectively provided on the inner side of the left support arm 11 and the right support arm 12 for the second limiting portion 8 on the corresponding side to slide into, and when the front part of the workbench 3 is not supported by the support frame 2, the second limiting portion 8 is always abutted against the first limiting portion 7.

[0035] In order to limit the swing angle of the support frame 2 to avoid device failure or danger, a support frame limiting device 9 is provided between the base frame 1 and the support frame 2. The support frame limiting device 9 is used to limit the swing angle range of the support frame 2. Any structure that can limit the swing angle range between the support frame 2 and the workbench 3 can be adopted, and the specific angle range can be set according to the needs of technical personnel in this field; specifically in this embodiment, the left support arm 11 and the right support arm 12 have protruding limit pins 14 on the outer sides, and a limit notch 13 is formed at the corresponding position on the base frame 1. The limit pin 14 extends into and is limited in the limit notch 13. The support frame 2 pivots, driving the limit pin 14 to move. When the limit pin 14 moves to the two ends of the limit notch 13, the support frame 2 cannot continue to move.

[0036] Preferably, in this embodiment, the front and rear lengths of the base frame 1 are smaller than the front and rear lengths of the workbench 3, the base frame 1 is located below the front half of the workbench 3, and a roller 10 is provided on the bottom side of the rear portion of the workbench 3. When the telescopic rod 4 is extended to make the workbench 3 in a horizontal position, the rear portion of the workbench 3 falls to the ground through the roller 10, and the roller 10 is used to roll back and forth. At this time, the telescopic rod 4 contracts to pull the workbench 3 forward, driving the rear portion of the support frame 2 to swing up, supporting the front portion of the workbench 3, while the roller 10 remains on the ground, and the telescopic rod 4 extends to push the rear portion of the workbench 3 to swing up, so that the workbench 3 stands up, thereby achieving that after the workbench 3 stands up, it only occupies an area the size of the base frame 1 on the ground.

[0037] Specifically in this embodiment, combined with Figure 7-11 As shown, an armrest assembly is also provided for the user to grasp during use. In order to realize that the armrest assembly can be linked to be folded when the workbench 3 is erected, in this embodiment, the preferred armrest assembly adopts the following structure: a vertical rod 15 is installed at the front of the base frame 1, and the bottom end of the vertical rod 15 is fixed to the base frame 1. The top of the vertical rod 15 is pivotally connected to an armrest 17 through an armrest pivot shaft 16 extending left and right. More specifically, there are two vertical rods 15, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the front of the base frame 1, and the armrest 17 is connected between the two vertical rods 15. A connecting rod 18 is also provided. In a more specific embodiment, there are also two connecting rods 18, and the vertical rod 15 is hollow. The two connecting rods 18 are respectively inserted into the two vertical rods 15, and the upper end of the connecting rod 18 is eccentrically pivoted with the armrest 17 relative to the armrest pivot shaft 16. The lower end of 18 is eccentrically pivoted to the support frame 2 relative to the first rotating shaft 5 (in this embodiment, in order to simplify the structure, the lower end of the connecting rod 18 is preferably pivoted to the limit pin 14), but the specific pivot point can be determined by technical personnel in this field according to actual conditions such as size. As long as the support frame 2 and the armrest 17 can be rotated together through the connecting rod 18, when the workbench 3 is erected, the armrest 17 can be linked to swing forward and stand up, and when the workbench 3 is lowered (that is, it falls to the ground through the roller 10), the armrest 17 can be linked to swing backward and extend backward. Then, when the workbench 3 is lowered for use, the armrest 17 extends backward above the workbench 3 for the user on the workbench 3 to grasp, and when the workbench 3 is erected and in a folded state, the armrest 17 is also erected, reducing the space occupied in the horizontal direction.
