[0039] See also Figure 6 The rowing machine further includes a locking portion 6 and a fixing portion 7. The locking portion 6 is used to limit the rotation of the frame 2 to keep the frame 2 in the working position, and the fixing portion 7 is used to fix the frame 2 rotated to the folded position.

[0040] The locking part 6 includes a folding pin 61 of a columnar structure and a switch 62 for driving the folding pin 61 to move. The switch 62 is fixed to the middle of the folding pin 61.

[0045] See also Figure 8-11 A pair of water tanks 3 have the same structure. A rotating shaft 31 is vertically arranged at the center of each water tank 3, and the rotating shaft 31 is connected to a paddle structure 32 located in the water tank 3. The tension component 4 drives the rotating shaft 31 to rotate through the transmission mechanism 5.

[0046] The water tank 3 includes a water tank base 33 and a water tank cover 34, which are sealed and connected. The water tank base 33 and the water tank cover 34 are respectively provided with a lower tube body 331 and an upper tube body 341 for connecting the rotating shaft 31, and the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 31 are respectively connected to the lower tube body 331 and the upper tube body 341 for sealing rotation.

[0047] Specifically, the upper and lower ends of the rotating shaft 31 are respectively provided with sealing ring grooves 310 for installing sealing rings. The upper tube body 341 is divided into a regulator accommodating portion 341a, a bearing accommodating portion 341b, and a sealing accommodating portion 341c. The insides of the regulator accommodating portion 341a, the bearing accommodating portion 341b, and the sealing accommodating portion 341c are connected in sequence. A fourth bearing 35 is provided between the rotating shaft 31 and the bearing accommodating portion 341b. The sealing accommodating portion 341c corresponds to the sealing ring groove 310.

[0048] The blade structure 32 includes a plurality of blades 321 and a blade fixing frame 322. An insert 322a is provided at the center of the blade fixing frame 322. A connecting thread is provided on the inner surface of the insert 322a. The rotating shaft 31 is fixed to the blade structure 32 through threaded connection. Further, the insert 322a may be a nut.

[0049] In other embodiments of the present invention, the blade fixing frame 322 and the blade 321 may be fixed by bolt connection, so as to facilitate the removal and replacement of the blade 321 .

[0050] The water tank cover 34 is provided with a water inlet 341, and the water tank base 33 is provided with a drain port 342. The water inlet 341 and the drain port 342 are respectively connected with a water inlet plug 343. The water tank base 33 is provided with a water tank fixing portion 332 for connecting and fixing with the machine head 1, and the machine head 1 is provided with a positioning groove 15 corresponding to the water tank fixing portion 332.

[0051] See also Figure 9-10 , Fig.12 The water tank 3 is connected to a regulator 8 for adjusting the rotational resistance of the rotating shaft 31. The regulator 8 includes a torsion portion 81 exposed outside the water tank 3, a plurality of elastic claws 82 uniformly arranged circumferentially around the rotating shaft 31, and a connecting body 83 connecting the torsion portion 81 and the plurality of elastic claws 82. The greater the gripping force of the elastic claws 82 on the rotating shaft 31, the greater the rotational resistance of the rotating shaft 31.

[0052] Specifically, the circumference of the torsion portion 81 has evenly arranged protrusions 811 for increasing friction, which facilitates the user to rotate the torsion portion 81 to adjust the rotation resistance of the rotating shaft 31. The connector 83 is provided with an external thread, and the regulator accommodating portion 341a is provided with an internal thread matching the external thread.

[0053] The regulator accommodating portion 341 a also has a tapered guide surface 341 d located below the internal thread, and the tapered guide surface 341 d is used to guide the free end of the elastic claw 82 to move toward the center of the water tank 3 to press the circumference of the rotating shaft 31 .

[0054] When the regulator 8 moves downward, the elastic claw 82 increases the squeezing force on the circumference of the rotating shaft 31 through the conical guide surface 341d, and the rotation resistance of the rotating shaft 31 increases; when the regulator 8 moves upward, the elastic claw 82 reduces the squeezing force on the circumference of the rotating shaft 31, and the rotation resistance of the rotating shaft 31 decreases. The outer diameter of the protrusion 811 is larger than the inner diameter of the internal thread, so as to prevent the elastic claw 82 from gripping too much and causing the rotating shaft 31 to get stuck or the elastic claw 82 from being overloaded and broken.

[0055] See also Figure 13-15 The tension assembly 4 includes a tension webbing 41, a webbing wheel 42, a webbing wheel shaft 43, a tension hand tube 44, a limit wheel 45, and a guide wheel 46. The axes of the webbing wheel 42, the limit wheel 45, and the guide wheel 46 are parallel to each other. The webbing wheel shaft 43 is rotatably connected to a support seat 48 connected and fixed to the head base 11.

[0056] One end of the tension webbing 41 is connected to the tension hand tube 44, and the other end is connected to the webbing wheel 42 and wound around the webbing wheel 42, and the webbing wheel 42 is sleeved on the webbing wheel shaft 43. A first one-way bearing 402 and a third bearing 403 are provided between the webbing wheel 42 and the webbing wheel shaft 43, and the third bearing 403 is respectively provided on both sides of the first one-way bearing 402. When the user pulls the tension hand tube 44 backward, the webbing wheel 42 drives the webbing wheel shaft 43 to rotate; when the webbing wheel 42 reverses, it does not drive the webbing wheel shaft 43 to rotate.

[0057] The two ends of the pull handle 44 are respectively sleeved with a handle sleeve 441, which is made of rubber or other flexible materials to improve the comfort of the user's grip. The hand head 1 is connected and fixed with a pull handle recovery buckle 16, which has an arc structure 161 corresponding to the side of the pull handle 44.

[0058] The webbing wheel 42 is connected with a reset assembly 9 for rotating the webbing wheel 42 in the direction of winding the tension webbing 41. The reset assembly 9 includes a reset coil spring 91 (not shown), a coil spring shaft 92, and a coil spring box 93. The reset coil spring 91 is wound outside the coil spring shaft 92 and installed in the coil spring box 93. The coil spring shaft 92 is connected and fixed to the webbing wheel 42, and the coil spring box 93 is fixed to the support seat 48. When the user pulls the tension hand tube 44 backward, the webbing wheel 42 drives the coil spring shaft 92 to rotate the reset coil spring 91 to form a contracted state; after stopping pulling, the reset coil spring 91 is reset to drive the webbing wheel 42 to rotate in the opposite direction.

[0059] The limiting wheels 45 are a pair, and the tension webbing 41 passes between the limiting wheel 45 and the other limiting wheel 45. The gap between the limiting wheel 45 and the other limiting wheel 45 is smaller than the width of the tension webbing 41, which can prevent the tension webbing 41 from turning over and winding. At the same time, it can also prevent the tension webbing 41 from detaching from the guide wheel 46 when it is pulled sideways, resulting in a problem that it cannot be wound well. The limiting wheel 45 is fixed to the plastic cover 115 through the limiting wheel frame 451. The two ends of the limiting wheel 45 are respectively sleeved with shaft sleeves 452. The limiting wheel 45 rotates smoothly to avoid excessive friction between the tension webbing 41 and the limiting wheel 45, thereby extending the service life of the tension webbing 41.

[0060] The guide wheel 46 is arranged between the limiting wheel 45 and the webbing wheel 42, and the guide wheel 46 is used to prevent the webbing wheel 42 from winding in the reverse direction when winding the tension webbing 41. The limiting convex ring 421 and the limiting convex ring 461 are respectively arranged at both ends of the webbing wheel 42 and the guide wheel 46, and the limiting convex ring 421 and the limiting convex ring 461 are used to prevent the tension webbing 41 from deflecting. The limiting convex ring 421 and the limiting convex ring 461 have guide surfaces 421a and guide surfaces 461a, and the guide surfaces further prevent the tension webbing 41 from deflecting. The cross-sections of the webbing wheel 42 and the guide wheel 46 are in the shape of an "I".

[0061] Furthermore, the machine head 1 is provided with a fixing tube 17 extending upward for fixing the guide wheel 46 , the fixing tube 17 is connected and fixed with a guide wheel fixing frame 49 , the guide wheel fixing frame 49 is rotatably connected to the guide wheel 46 , and the guide wheel fixing frame 49 is a U-shaped structure.

[0062] See also Fig.16 The transmission mechanism 5 includes: a transmission shaft 51, a rotating shaft connecting member 52, a main synchronous pulley 53, and a secondary synchronous pulley 54.

[0063] The two ends of the transmission shaft 51 are respectively connected and fixed with bevel gears A3. The rotating shaft 31 and the rotating shaft connecting member 52 are axially connected and fixed by a retaining spring, and the rotating shaft 31 is provided with a retaining spring groove 311. The rotating shaft connecting member 52 is connected and fixed with a bevel gear B3. A second bearing 56 is provided between the rotating shaft connecting member 52 and the water tank fixing portion 332. A second one-way bearing 57 is provided between the rotating shaft connecting member 52 and the rotating shaft 31. The bevel gear A3 and the bevel gear B3 are meshed with each other. The head base 11 is provided with an opening 117 corresponding to the rotating shaft connecting member 52, and the radial dimension of the opening 117 is larger than the outer diameter dimension of the rotating shaft connecting member 52 and smaller than the outer diameter dimension of the second bearing 56.

[0064] The primary and secondary synchronous pulleys 54 are respectively fixed on the transmission shaft 51 and the webbing wheel shaft 43 of the tension component 4. The transmission shaft 51 is parallel to the axis of the webbing wheel shaft 43. The user pulls the tension hand tube 44 of the tension component 4 to drive the webbing wheel shaft 43 to drive the transmission shaft 51 to rotate, and the transmission shaft 51 drives a pair of paddle structures 32 in the water tank 3 to rotate synchronously.

[0065] The transmission mechanism 5 further includes a bearing seat 58 for fixing the transmission shaft 51, the bearing seat 58 is connected and fixed to the head base 11, and a first bearing 59 is provided between the bearing seat 58 and the transmission shaft 51. The transmission shaft 51 is accommodated in an accommodating space formed by the head base 11 and the head base cover 12.

[0066] Furthermore, the fourth bearing 35 , the third bearing 403 , the second bearing 56 , and the first bearing 59 are all deep groove ball bearings.

[0067] How a rowing machine works:

[0068] When exercising, the user pulls the tension hand tube backwards and pulls out the tension webbing wrapped around the webbing wheel through the limit wheel and the guide wheel. The webbing wheel is driven to rotate, and the webbing wheel shaft also rotates. The webbing wheel shaft drives the transmission shaft to rotate through the main and auxiliary synchronous pulleys. The transmission shaft drives the rotating shafts in the water tanks on both sides through the mutually meshing bevel teeth A and bevel teeth B to drive the blade structure to rotate.

[0069] When the user loosens the tension hand tube, the tension webbing is also wound back onto the webbing wheel due to the restoring elastic force of the return coil spring. By virtue of the above components, the user can repeatedly pull the tension hand tube to generate a damping tension to achieve the purpose of stretching exercise.

[0070] The rotational resistance of the rotating shaft can be adjusted by the regulator to meet the exercise intensity requirements of different users.

[0071] In the present invention, a water resistance adjustment mechanism and a rowing machine are provided with a regulator, and the resistance of the rowing machine is controlled by adjusting the rotational resistance of the rotating shaft through the regulator. The resistance received by pulling the pulling hand tube is always the same, and can be kept balanced, and the range of adjusting the resistance is large.

[0072] In the present invention, the rowing machine is provided with a pair of water tanks, each of which is small in size, and the pull rope assembly is located between the two water tanks, thereby reducing the overall space occupied by the rowing machine head; and the water tanks are placed vertically, so that the water resistance of the paddle blade structure is uniform relative to that of the horizontally placed water tanks.

[0073] In the present invention, the frame and the head of the rowing machine are hinged, and when the rowing machine needs to be stored, the user only needs to lift the frame part, and because there is no need to flip the head, it is more labor-saving.

[0074] In the present invention, the rowing machine is provided with a rubber pad to prevent the folding tube wall from being worn when the frame is in the folded position; the cross-section of the rubber pad is a right-angled trapezoidal structure, and its inclined surface is provided with an arc groove that abuts against the side wall of the folding tube, and the angle α formed between the rubber pad and the machine head is less than 90°, thereby reducing the force strength of the strap.

[0075] In the present invention, the rotating shafts in the two water tanks are driven to rotate by the same transmission shaft, so that the two rotating shafts are subjected to the same rotational resistance and the same rotational speed, thereby achieving a balancing effect.

[0076] In the present invention, the limiting wheel provided in the tension assembly can ensure that the tension webbing is wound around the webbing wheel through the guide wheel without deviation, and the distance between the limiting wheel and another limiting wheel is smaller than the width of the tension webbing, which can also prevent the tension webbing from flipping and winding.

[0077] In the present invention, the guide wheel of the tension assembly is arranged between the limiting wheel and the webbing wheel, so as to prevent the webbing wheel from rotating in the opposite direction and winding the tension webbing when the tension webbing is wound back onto the webbing wheel.

[0078] In the present invention, a first one-way bearing is arranged between the webbing wheel of the tension component and the webbing wheel shaft. When the user relaxes the tension hand tube, the webbing wheel is reversed by the force of the reset component, and the webbing wheel shaft is not driven to rotate at this time. That is, the reset component only needs to drive the force of the webbing wheel to reverse to complete the winding of the tension webbing, and the reset spring of the reset component can select a smaller torque.

[0079] In the present invention, the frame is formed by the folding tube, the slide rail fixing tube and the tailstock bracket being connected to each other in sockets and splices, so it is convenient to disassemble; after disassembly, it is packed and transported, which reduces the space occupied by transportation and reduces the transportation cost.

[0080] In the present invention, the blade structure in the water tank is simple in structure and easy to process and produce.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present invention, the blades of the paddle structure are detachably connected to the blade fixing frame, so that replacement is convenient, and only one blade can be replaced.

[0082] The above-described embodiments are only preferred embodiments for fully illustrating the present invention, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the claims.
