When the belt 5 is dragged, the toothed slider 21 is first driven to slide in the chute seat 6. This action is transmitted to the swing rod 16 through the chute swing rod 12 and the swing link 14, so that the swing rod 1 rotates inside the swing seat 17 through the swing shaft 18. The toothed slider 21 stops when it slides to the chute limit of the fixed seat, and the entire tilting mechanism is completed. The dummy support rod fixed on the swing rod 16 tilts a certain angle to achieve the purpose of simulating the forward leaning posture of pedestrians.

The limit rod 8 is threadedly connected to the slide seat 6. The limit rod 8 and the fixed seat 7 form a limit mechanism of the slide swing rod 12.

[0026] The tooth surface of the dragging belt 5 of the present invention meshes with the toothed slider 21 and is pressed by the pressure plate 22. When the dragging belt 5 moves, it first drives the toothed slider 21 to slide in the chute seat 6. This action is transmitted to the swing rod 16 through the chute swing rod 12 and the swing connecting rod 14, so that the swing rod 1 rotates inside the swing seat 17 through the swing shaft 18. The toothed slider 21 stops when it slides to the chute limit of the fixed seat, and the entire tilting mechanism is completed. The dummy support rod fixed on the swing rod 16 tilts a certain angle to achieve the purpose of simulating the forward leaning posture of pedestrians walking. There is an adjustment mechanism at the upper limit of the chute seat 6, which can adjust the tilt angle within the maximum tilt angle to simulate the forward leaning angle of the body of different pedestrians at different walking speeds.
