[0027] Figure 5 for Figure 4 Enlarged view of part A in . DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a sit-up aid comprises a base 1, a support body 3 and two cross bars 4.

[0029] A vacuum suction cup 21 that can be adsorbed on a plane is provided at the bottom of the base 1. The vacuum suction cup 21 is operated by an operating handle 22, a pull rod 23 and a spring 24. The specific structure and working method are well-known in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0030] The base 1 is provided with two support arms 11 extending upward, and the two support arms 11 are arranged opposite to each other at a lateral interval. The support body 3 is supported between the two support arms 11 through a support shaft 5. The support shaft 5 includes an inner shaft 52 and a sleeve 51. The cross section of the inner shaft 52 is non-circular. The sleeve 51 has a middle hole adapted to the outer shape of the inner shaft 52. The two support arms 11 are respectively formed with mounting holes 12 for the inner shaft 52 to pass through. The mounting holes 12 are also adapted to the outer shape of the inner shaft 52. The two ends of the inner shaft 52 are fixed in the mounting holes 12 by a locking mechanism. The sleeve 51 is sleeved on the inner shaft 52 between the two support arms 11. The locking mechanism is provided on the inner shaft 52 between the two support arms 11. The tightening mechanism includes a retaining ring 521 and a screw 522. The screw 522 is locked on the inner shaft 52 after passing through the retaining ring 521. The retaining ring is larger than the aperture of the mounting hole 12, so that the inner shaft 52 is fixed in the mounting hole 12, and the operating hole connected to the mounting hole 12 is closed by the cover 523. The sleeve 51 is arranged in the support body 3. During assembly, the support body 3 with the sleeve 51 is placed between the two support arms 11. The inner shaft 52 passes through the mounting hole 12 from the outside of the support arm 11 and is inserted into the sleeve 51 to complete the support of the support body 11, and is locked and fixed by the locking mechanism, thereby facilitating the rapid assembly of the product.

[0031] Two crossbars 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper part of the support body 3. The crossbar 4 can be rotatably arranged on the support body 3 between the use state and the folded state. The crossbar 4 in the use state is arranged to extend horizontally, and the crossbar 4 in the folded state is close to the support body 3. The support body 3 is provided with a receiving groove 31 for accommodating the crossbar 4 in the folded state. One end of the crossbar 4 is rotatably arranged on the support body 3 through a pivot shaft 41. The pivot shaft 41 is arranged obliquely so that the crossbar 4 in the folded state is inclined close to the side of the support body 3. A first limiting portion 42 is provided on the crossbar 4, and a second limiting portion 32 is provided on the support body 3. The first limiting portion 42 cooperates with the second limiting portion 32 to keep the crossbar 4 in the use state. In this way, during training, the crossbar 4 remains in the use state after being subjected to the upward force of the instep and cannot continue to rotate upward.

[0032] The support body 3 can be rotatable around the support shaft 5 and is arranged on the support shaft 5. A locking mechanism is arranged between the support shaft 5 and the support body 3. The locking mechanism allows the support body 3 to be rotatable or locked and unable to rotate. The locking mechanism includes a plurality of first positioning teeth 511 arranged in an arc on the sleeve 51, a swing arm 53 arranged on the support body 3 and can be swung relative to the first positioning teeth 511 through a pivot shaft 533, a pushing member 54 slidably arranged on the support body 3, a first spring 55 driving the swing arm 53 to swing toward the first positioning teeth 511, and a second spring 56 driving the pushing member 54 away from the swing arm 53. The swing arm 53 is provided with a second positioning tooth 532 that can mesh with the first positioning tooth 511. The pushing member 54 has an operating portion exposed outside the support body 3. Pressing the operating portion can drive the pushing member 54 to slide toward the swing arm 53 to push the swing arm 53 to swing. The pushing member 54 and the swing arm 53 are respectively provided with driving inclined surfaces 541 and 531 that contact each other.

[0033] The support arm 11 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 13 arranged in an arc shape, and the support body 3 is provided with a positioning ball 63 that can be embedded in the positioning groove 13 and a spring 62 that drives the positioning ball 63 to be embedded in the positioning groove 13. Specifically, the support body 3 is formed with a transversely extending through receiving hole 33, and the spring 62 is arranged in the receiving hole 33. One end of the receiving hole 33 is closed by a screw 61, and the other end is provided with the above-mentioned positioning ball 63. The positioning ball 63 presses against the inner side of the support arm 11 and is restricted in the receiving hole 33 and cannot escape. When the support body 3 rotates, the positioning ball 63 can be embedded in the positioning groove 13 and make a sound, and a certain resistance is generated to the rotation of the support body 3 to prevent the support body 3 from rotating too freely.

[0034] When the height of the cross bar 4 needs to be adjusted, the operating part is pressed to move the pushing member 54 inward, thereby driving the swing arm 53 to swing upward, so that the first positioning tooth 511 is separated from the second positioning tooth 532, and the support body 3 is in a rotatable state. The support body 3 is rotated to adjust to the height of the cross bar 4, and then the operating part is released. The pushing member 54 moves outward and resets under the action of the second spring 56, and the swing arm 53 swings downward under the action of the first spring 55 to engage the first positioning tooth 511 with the second positioning tooth 532, so that the support body 3 cannot rotate, thereby completing the height adjustment of the cross bar 4.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and therefore cannot be used to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. That is, equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention and the contents of the specification should still fall within the scope covered by the patent of the present invention.
