[0051] In the implementation of the present application, the stable and reliable foldable Smith training rack has the following improvements and advantages: 1. The sub-frame can be folded and rotated about the main frame 1, thereby reducing the required space for storage; 2. The transverse lever 5 can be folded and rotated by 90°, also reducing the required space for storage; 3. The telescopic foot pedal fixer 41 and the fixed support foot 42 are provided, the fixed support foot 42 is used to bear the main frame 1, and the telescopic foot pedal fixer 41 is used to provide bearing by extending downward to contact the ground when the sub-frame 2 needs to be fixed, and is reset upward when the sub-frame 2 needs to be rotated, so as to leave enough space between the bottom of the sub-frame 2 and the ground to prevent the telescopic foot pedal fixer 41 from interfering with the rotation of the sub-frame 2; 4. The barbell sleeve 6 is provided to place the disassembled barbells, saving storage space; 5. The steel cable 10 is coaxially distributed with the hinge axes of the main frame 1 and the sub-frame 2, avoiding the jumping of the steel cable 10 from the groove of the pulley 9 when the sub-frame is folded and rotated about the main frame 1, so that the folding action can be stably performed;
[0052] The specific process is as follows:
[0053] When folding, first, only one center shaft between the transverse lever 5 and the sub-frame 2 is removed, and the second U-shaped hinged frame 51 and the second hinged sleeve 213 can move, at this time, the transverse lever 5 can be folded and rotated by 90°, the barbell sleeve 6 is removed from the placement hook 232, the two telescopic foot pedal fixers 41 are retracted, and there is no fixed structure between the two sub-frames 2, which can freely rotate around the hinge point, the sub-frame 2 rotates about the axis of the first U-shaped hinged frame 104 and the first hinged sleeve 211, and rotates, during the rotation, the steel cable 10 is located on the rotation axis, and its position does not change, so the rotation of the sub-frame 2 does not cause the steel cable 10 to jump out of the groove, ensuring that the folding is stably performed;
[0054] After stacking the barbells, in order to lock the posture of the barbell rod sleeve 6, avoid locking the barbell rod sleeve 6 from falling off and causing safety accidents, the locking pin 64 passes through the locking frame 63, the hook 232 is placed, and the barbell rod sleeve 6 is locked. At this time, the barbell rod sleeve 6 cannot be rotated, but the barbell rod sleeve 6 is connected together with the upper outer cylinder 231 through the locking pin 64, the locking frame 63, the hook 232 and the upper outer cylinder 231, and can also slide up and down along the circular pipe 23. Therefore, the other end of the side rod 62 is connected with the arc hook 65, the slidable support 7 is provided with a rotatable hook 71, and after the hook 71 is hooked with the arc hook 65, the locking barbell rod sleeve 6 is further locked, so that the barbell rod sleeve 6 cannot move up and down, and is completely positioned and locked. The height position of the slidable support 7 on the vertical square tube 22 can change the height position of the lower outer cylinder 233, and the lower outer cylinder 233 directly receives the upper outer cylinder 231 and the barbell rod sleeve 6, so that the placement height of the barbell rod sleeve 6 can be changed. According to actual needs, it can be adjusted by itself, and the degree of freedom is high.
[0055] Since the end of the top cross rod 105 is connected with the first V-shaped hinged frame 104, the position of the first V-shaped hinged frame 104 is determined, and the position of the first V-shaped hinged frame 104 determines the position of the hinged axis. In order to avoid errors in the position of the hinged axis of the two main frames 1, the position of the top cross rod 105 is positioned by the following structure:
[0056] The bottom cross rod 103 is located between the bottom of the long column 101 and the short column 102, the top cross rod 105 is located above the short column 102 and beside the long column 101, and the sub-rod 106 is located between the upper parts of the long column 101 and the short column 102. The distance between the long column 101 and the short column 102 is ensured by the bottom cross rod 103 and the sub-rod 106, the height of the top cross rod 105 is positioned by the short column 102, and the end position of the top cross rod 105 is positioned by the long column 101, so that the top cross rod 105 is positioned in the vertical and longitudinal directions, and the position of the top cross rod 105 is ensured.
[0057] Preferably, the pulley 9 includes a fixed pulley and a movable pulley. Such a structure design can change the stress direction of the steel cable 10 and lifting through the fixed pulley and the movable pulley respectively.
