Benefits of technology
The present invention provides a treadmill with a function to prevent clothes, limbs, or foreign objects from getting caught in the gaps between the running belt and the lateral bases. This happens when the user accidentally puts something there. The treadmill is able to detect this and block the movement of the foreign object, which prevents it from getting caught and potentially getting entrapped. The treadmill also has a mechanism for detecting when the user's clothes or limbs are too close to the edge of the running belt and adjusting the rotation speed of the driving roller to prevent further entrapment.
Problems solved by technology
While the user can adjust the rotation speed of the running belt with the control panel if the rotation speed is too high, the relatively small sizes of the buttons on the control panel make it difficult to find any button rapidly when the user is nervous or in an urgent situation.
Moreover, should the user fall, it will be difficult for the user to press any button on the control panel, which is usually at a relatively great height, and the running belt will therefore keep rotating and may pull and entrap the user's clothes, limbs or foreign objects into a gap on either side of, or under, the running belt, which is dangerous.

Embodiment Construction
[0015]Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the treadmill with an anti-entrapment function according to an embodiment of the present invention allows a user (not shown) to stand on the treadmill, and includes a running unit 1, a driving unit 2, a control unit 3, and a detection unit 4. The control unit 3 is in signal communication with the driving unit 2 and the detection unit 4.
[0016]The running unit 1 includes a main base 11, two lateral bases 12 that extend rearward from the main base 11 and are spaced apart from each other, a driving roller 13 and a driven roller 14 that are pivotally provided between the lateral bases 12. A running belt 15 is provided between the lateral bases 12, and is looped around the driving roller 13 and the driven roller 14 to allow the user to stand on the running belt 15. The direction in which each lateral base 12 extends is defined as a front-rear axial direction X of the running unit 1. In this embodiment, the driving roller 13 is located at the front sid...

A treadmill with an anti-entrapment function allows a user to stand on the treadmill and includes a running unit, a control unit, and a detection unit. The running unit includes two lateral bases, a driving roller, a driven roller, and a running belt. Each lateral base has a bottom end portion lower than the running belt. The detection unit includes a transmitter for emitting a light wave and a receiver for receiving the light wave. When accidently pulled into the gap between the running belt and one of the lateral bases, the user or a foreign object is moved by the running belt to the space between the transmitter and the receiver, thus keeping the receiver from receiving the light wave. The receiver sends out a warning signal in response, in order for the control unit to control the rotation speed of the driving roller accordingly to prevent continued entrapment.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Technical Field[0001]The present invention relates to physical training equipment, and more particularly to a treadmill with an anti-entrapment function.2. Description of Related Art[0002]People nowadays pay more and more attention to health. It is therefore not uncommon to have a treadmill placed in one's house so that physical training can be carried out at home, rain or shine, with the treadmill.[0003]Generally, a treadmill has a setting panel, or control panel, with which a user can adjust the rotation speed of the running belt according to the desired running speed.[0004]While the user can adjust the rotation speed of the running belt with the control panel if the rotation speed is too high, the relatively small sizes of the buttons on the control panel make it difficult to find any button rapidly when the user is nervous or in an urgent situation. Moreover, should the user fall, it will be difficult for the user to press any button on the control ...
