The flywheel-type seated calf trainer includes a frame, a seat mounted on the frame, a weighted flywheel, a rope, a footrest, and a leg press. The footrest and leg block are located on the same side of the seat, with the footrest located below the leg press. The leg press is equipped with a connecting rod that is rotatably connected to the frame via a rotating shaft, allowing the leg press to rotate toward or away from the footrest. One end of the rope is wound around the flywheel shaft of the weighted flywheel, forming a rope coil on the flywheel shaft, and the other end is connected to the end of the connecting rod. When using the calf trainer, the user sits on the seat, places their feet on the footrest, and positions the end of their thigh near the knee below and in contact with the leg press. The process of calf training by the user using the calf trainer is as follows: the user lifts the calf by lifting the heel to lift the leg press part. During the rising process, the leg press part drives the counterweight flywheel to rotate and releases the rope. When the counterweight flywheel reversely reels the rope, it drives the leg press part to descend. During the descent of the leg press part, the user's calf gradually falls back while blocking the descent of the leg press part.

[0028] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for the purpose of explaining the relevant invention and are not intended to limit the invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only portions relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0029] An embodiment of the present application provides a flywheel-type seated calf trainer for allowing a user to perform heel raise training in a seated position, thereby training the user's calf muscles.

[0030] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-2 The flywheel-type seated calf trainer provided in an embodiment of the present application includes a frame 10, a pedal portion 20, a seat portion 30, a leg press portion 40, a pull rope 50, a counterweight flywheel 60 and an adjustment device 70. The frame 10 includes a frame body 11 and a rotating member 12, and the rotating member 12 is rotatably arranged on the frame body 11. In the rotation direction, the rotating member 12 has a plurality of rotation positions arranged at intervals along the rotation direction, and the plurality of rotation positions include an initial position. The leg press portion 40 is arranged on the rotating member 12, and the leg press portion 40 moves with the rotating member 12. The seat portion 30 and the pedal portion 20 are both arranged on the frame body 11, the pedal portion 20 and the leg press portion 40 are located on the same side of the seat portion 30, and the pedal portion 20 is located below the leg press portion 40. The counterweight flywheel 60 includes a wheel body 61 and a flywheel shaft 62, the wheel body 61 is mounted on the flywheel shaft 62, and the counterweight flywheel 60 is rotatably arranged on the frame body 11 through the flywheel shaft 62. The first end of the pull rope 50 is connected to the flywheel shaft 62 so as to be wound or released by the rotating flywheel shaft 62. The adjustment device 70 is connected to the second end of the pull rope 50, wherein the adjustment device 70 is movably provided on the rotating member 12 to adjust the maximum amount of the pull rope 50 that can be wound on the flywheel shaft 62.

[0031] The process of a user performing heel raise training using the flywheel seated calf trainer is as follows: the user sits on the seat 30, places the feet on the footrest 20, and the thigh is located below and in contact with the leg pressing part 40, and then performs heel raise training. The heel raise training includes heel raise movement training and heel return movement training performed in sequence. The heel raise movement is the movement of the user's calf contracting and exerting force to lift the heel, and the heel return movement is the movement of the user's heel slowly falling back.

[0032] The rotation direction of the rotating member 12 includes a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction that are opposite. During the heel-lifting movement, the rotating member 12 rotates along the first rotation direction, and during the heel-back movement, the rotating member 12 rotates along the second rotation direction. It can be understood that the initial position of the rotating member 12 refers to the starting position of the rotating member 12 along the first rotation direction. The pull rope 50 includes a first end, a second end, and a main rope segment located between the first end and the second end. The pull rope 50 is connected to the flywheel shaft 62 through the first end and is connected to the adjustment device 70 through the second end. It can be understood that the maximum retractable amount of the pull rope 50 on the flywheel shaft 62 refers to the maximum length of the main rope segment that can be retracted on the flywheel shaft 62 when the rotating member 12 is located at a certain rotation position (which can be but is not limited to the initial position), and when the main rope segment is retracted to the maximum length on the flywheel shaft 62, the portion of the main rope segment that is not retracted to the flywheel shaft 62 is in a taut state. As shown in the attached figure Figure 1 In the structure shown, the first rotation direction is shown by arrow A.

[0033] It is understood that achieving a personal best training effect on the user's calf means: 1. During the heel raise exercise, the user's heel can be raised to the maximum height (i.e., the maximum physiological height that the user's heel can be raised), and the user's calf is continuously subjected to training resistance applied by the weighted flywheel 60 during the heel raise; and 2. The rotational inertia of the weighted flywheel 60 when the user's heel is raised to the maximum height immediately forms training resistance for the heel pull-back exercise. The calf trainer enables users with different heel raise heights to achieve the above-mentioned personal best training effect when performing seated heel raise exercises under the following conditions: 1. When the rotating member 12 is in the initial position, the flywheel shaft 62 reels the main rope segment according to the maximum retractable amount and forms the maximum rope roll on the flywheel shaft 62; and 2. When the user's heel is raised to the maximum height, the maximum rope roll wound on the flywheel shaft 62 is just fully released. Based on the above implementation conditions, users with different calf lift heights can all achieve their personal optimal calf training effect by adjusting the maximum retractable amount using the adjustment device 70. Furthermore, users can also adjust the maximum retractable amount to a specified amount using the adjustment device 70 to enable heel raise training at a specified calf lift height.

[0034] Based on the above-mentioned implementation conditions, the process of the user performing heel raise training based on the personal best training effect is as follows: the user performs heel raises to lift the heel and calf, the lifted calf drives the leg press part 40 to move upward through the thigh, the upward moving leg press part 40 drives the rotating part 12 to rotate from the initial position along the first rotation direction, the rotating rotating part 12 drives the counterweight flywheel 60 to rotate through the pull rope 50 and releases the maximum rope roll formed by winding the pull rope 50 on the flywheel shaft 62, and when the user's heel is lifted to the highest height, the maximum rope roll on the flywheel shaft 62 is just filled. When the heel lift is fully released (the heel lift ends and the heel return begins), the flywheel 60 continues to rotate under the action of rotational inertia after the maximum rope roll is fully released and immediately reverses the drawstring 50 via the flywheel shaft 62. The flywheel shaft 62 drives the rotating member 12 to rotate along the second rotation direction when reversely rewinding the drawstring 50. The rotating rotating member 12 drives the leg press 40 to move downward. The descending leg press 40 is hindered by the user's thigh and slowly moves downward along with the user's calf and heel until the user's heel is restored (the heel return ends at this time). In the above-mentioned process of performing calf training based on personal best training effect, the user's heel can be raised to the maximum height when performing the heel lift, and the user's calf is constantly contracting and exerting force throughout the entire process of the heel lift. When the user performs the heel return, the rotational inertia of the flywheel 60 when the user's heel is raised to the maximum height forms the training resistance of the heel return to the greatest extent, thereby achieving the best training effect for the calf.

[0035] In this embodiment, the maximum retractable amount of the pull rope 50 on the flywheel shaft 62 is adjusted by the adjustment device 70, which not only enables the flywheel seated calf trainer to allow each user to adjust the maximum retractable amount of the pull rope 50 on the flywheel shaft 62 according to their own calf lifting height, but also enables the flywheel seated calf trainer to meet the needs of each user to achieve the best personal training effect for the calf. At the same time, the flywheel seated calf trainer can also meet the needs of users to perform calf training at their specified calf lifting height, thereby improving the user experience of the flywheel seated calf trainer.

[0036] It is understood that the normal position of the rotating member 12 when the calf trainer is not being used by the user for heel raise training is the initial position. When the rotation connection position is located between the two ends of the rotating member 12, the embodiment of the rotating member 12 remaining in the initial position may be, but is not limited to: Please refer to the attached Figure 1 The portion of the top end of the rotating rod located on the side of the rotating connection position away from the leg-pressing portion 40 abuts and cooperates with the frame 11, so that the rotating rod is maintained in the initial position under the combined action of the leg-pressing portion 40 and the frame 11. When the rotating connection position is located at the end of the rotating rod, the embodiment in which the rotating member 12 is maintained in the initial position may be, but is not limited to: the rotating rod and the frame 11 may be connected by a flexible cable, so that the rotating rod is maintained in the initial position under the combined action of the leg-pressing portion 40 and the flexible cable.

[0037] The rotating member 12 is rotatably connected to the frame 11 via a rotating connection structure, and the rotating connection structure can be, but is not limited to, a rotating shaft. The rotating member 12 has a rotating connection position connected to the rotating structure, and the rotating connection position can be located at one end of the rotating member 12 or between the two ends of the rotating member 12. The leg pressing portion 40 is located on one side of the rotating connection position so that the leg pressing portion 40 can move under the driving force of the rotating member 12. Preferably, please refer to the attached Figure 1 The rotating member 12 and the frame 11 are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft, and the rotating connection position on the rotating member 12 connected to the rotating shaft is located between the two ends of the rotating member 12, and the leg pressing portion 40 is located at the end of the rotating member 12 away from the frame 11.

[0038] The shape of the pull rope 50 can be, but is not limited to, a round rope, a belt, etc., and the rotating member 12 can be, but is not limited to, a rod, a plate, etc. Preferably, please refer to the attached Figure 1 The rotating member 12 is a rotating rod, and the pull rope 50 is a pull belt.

[0039] The position of the counterweight flywheel 60 on the frame 11 can be reasonably set according to the spatial layout requirements, for example, it can be set below the seat 30 or on the side of the seat 30 away from the leg pressing part 40, etc. This application does not limit this. Figure 1 The weighted flywheel 60 is located below the seat 30, which not only reduces the volume of the calf trainer and contributes to the miniaturized design of the calf trainer, but also helps to avoid the risk of contact between the user sitting on the calf trainer and the weighted flywheel 60, thereby improving the safety performance of the calf trainer.

[0040] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-2 In some embodiments of the present application, the adjusting device 70 is movably provided to adjust the maximum retractable amount of the pull rope 50 on the flywheel shaft 62 by moving the adjusting device 70 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the principle of adjusting the maximum retractable amount by the adjusting device 70 is: based on the condition that the total length of the main rope segment is a constant value, the length of the part of the main rope segment that cannot be retracted by the flywheel shaft 62 is changed by moving the adjusting device 70, thereby adjusting the maximum retractable amount of the pull rope 50 on the flywheel shaft 62.

[0042] The present application does not have any specific restrictions on the movement direction of the adjustment device 70, as long as the movement direction can satisfy the maximum retractable amount when the adjustment device 70 moves along the movement direction. For example, the movement direction of the adjustment device 70 can be perpendicular or inclined relative to the rotation axis of the rotating member 12. In addition, in order to enable the flywheel shaft 62 to reel or release the pull rope 50 in a more orderly and uniform manner, the axis of the flywheel shaft 62 is preferably arranged perpendicular to the movement direction of the rotating member 12.

[0043] Preferably, please refer to the attached Figure 1 The counterweight flywheel 60 is located below the seat 30, and the end of the rotating rod away from the leg pressing part 40 is located between the flywheel shaft 62 and the seat 30. The rotation axis of the rotating rod is parallel to the axis of the flywheel shaft 62, and the adjusting device 70 is movably arranged on the rotating rod along the axial direction of the rotating rod. The frame 11 is provided with a first guide roller 13 and the first guide roller 13 is located on the side of the seat 30 away from the leg pressing part 40. The first end of the pull rope 50 is connected to the flywheel shaft 62 and the second end passes around the first guide roller 13 from above and is connected to the adjusting device 70. When the adjusting device 70 moves along the axial direction of the rotating rod toward the leg pressing part 40, the maximum retractable amount gradually decreases. When the adjusting device 70 moves along the axial direction of the rotating rod away from the leg pressing part 40, the maximum retractable amount gradually increases. In addition, in order to reduce the wear between the pull rope 50 and the rotating rod and to guide the movement of the pull rope 50 during the rotation of the rotating rod, a guide roller assembly can be provided at the end of the rotating rod away from the leg pressing part 40. The guide roller assembly includes two opposite second guide rollers 14, and a guide gap is formed between the two second guide rollers 14 for the pull rope 50 to pass through. The second end of the pull rope 50 passes around the first guide roller 13 from above the first guide roller 13 and passes through the guide gap and is connected to the adjusting device 70.

[0044] It is understandable that the implementation method of the adjustment device 70 for adjusting the maximum retractable amount is not limited to the implementation method of this embodiment. For example, in other embodiments, the adjustment device 70 can be rotatably arranged to reel in or release the pull rope 50 to adjust the maximum retractable amount. Specifically, the adjustment device 70 includes a first reel, which is rotatably arranged on the rotating member 12 and can be fixed in the rotation direction. The pull rope 50 is reeled in or released by the rotation of the first reel to adjust the maximum retractable amount. The outer peripheral surface of the end of the first reel can be provided with a plurality of sockets, the rotating member 12 is provided with a mounting tube, and a plug is provided in the mounting tube, and the plug can be moved in the mounting tube. The plug can be plugged into and matched with any socket to fix the first reel in the current position.

[0045] Please refer to the attached Figure 3-6In some embodiments of the present application, the rotating member 12 is provided with a positioning structure, which includes a plurality of positioning holes 123 spaced apart along the direction of movement of the adjusting device 70. The adjusting device 70 includes a mounting seat 71 and a positioning protrusion 72. The positioning protrusion 72 is pluggable with the plurality of positioning holes 123. The positioning protrusion 72 is movably disposed on the mounting seat 71 in a direction approaching or away from the positioning structure to switch between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the positioning protrusion 72 is pluggable with one of the positioning holes 123. The pluggable positioning protrusion 72 and the positioning hole 123 enable the adjusting device 70 and the rotating member 12 to be positioned along the direction of movement of the adjusting device 70, thereby positioning the adjusting device 70 at the current position. In the second position, the positioning protrusion 72 and the positioning hole 123 are separated to release the positioning engagement, at which point the user can move the adjusting device 70 to adjust the maximum retractable amount.

[0046] When the user needs to adjust the maximum retractable amount, the user can first move the positioning protrusion 72 to the second position, then move the adjustment device 70 to the target position and then move the positioning protrusion 72 to the first position to adjust the position to the target position. In this embodiment, the structure for achieving the position movement of the adjustment device 70 is simple and easy to implement, and the movement operation of the adjustment device 70 is simple and convenient.

[0047] Preferably, please refer to the attached Figure 1-2 The moving direction of the positioning protrusion 72 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the adjusting device 70 , and the moving direction of the positioning protrusion 72 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating member 12 .

[0048] The shape of the positioning protrusion 72 may be, but is not limited to, cylindrical, prismatic, etc., and the shape of the positioning hole 123 is adapted to the shape of the positioning protrusion 72 .

[0049] Preferably, please refer to the attached Figure 1-2 The drive member 73 is a drive rod with an open bottom. The drive rod comprises a top plate 121 and two opposing side plates 122. The side plates 122 are fixedly connected to either side of the top plate 121. The top plate 121 and the side plates 122 together enclose a rod cavity for the drive rod. The adjustment device 70 is mounted within the rod cavity, with the positioning structure located on the side plates 122.

[0050] Of course, the embodiment for achieving the position movement of the adjusting device 70 is not limited to that of this embodiment. For example, in other embodiments, the rotating member 12 is provided with a plurality of threaded connection holes spaced apart along the moving direction, and the adjusting device 70 is screwed to any of the threaded connection holes via a screw connection member.

[0051] Please refer to the attached Figure 3-6In some embodiments of the present application, the adjustment device 70 also includes a driving member 73, which is movably arranged on the mounting seat 71. The driving member 73 is provided with a guide groove 731, and the positioning protrusion 72 is provided with a guide column 724. The guide column 724 is inserted into the guide groove 731 and guided by the guide groove 731. The guide groove 731 includes an inclined portion 732, and the inclined portion 732 is inclined relative to the moving direction of the driving member 73. The moving driving member 73 drives the positioning protrusion 72 to move through the inclined portion 732.

[0052] The moving direction of the driving member 73 can be, but is limited to: the moving direction of the driving member 73 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the positioning protrusion 72, or the moving direction of the driving member 73 is inclined relative to the moving direction of the positioning protrusion 72. The moving direction of the driving member 73 specifically includes a first direction and a second direction that are opposite to each other. When the driving member 73 moves along the first direction, it can drive the positioning protrusion 72 to switch from the second position to the first position. When the driving member 73 moves along the second direction, it can drive the positioning protrusion 72 to switch from the first position to the second position. Preferably, please refer to the attached Figure 3 、 5 and 6, the moving direction of the driving member 73 is parallel to the moving direction of the adjusting device 70, and the first direction is as shown by arrow B.

[0053] The guide groove 731 may penetrate the driving member 73 or not penetrate the driving member 73 along the thickness direction of the driving member 73. When the guide groove 731 penetrates the driving member 73, the guide post 724 may pass through the guide groove 731 or not pass through the guide groove 731. Figure 4 As shown, the driving member 73 is plate-shaped, with a guide groove 731 extending through the driving member 73 along its thickness. A slot 721 is recessed on the end surface of the positioning protrusion 72 near the driving member 73, and both ends of the slot 721 extend to the outer peripheral surface of the positioning protrusion 72. Opposite side walls of the slot 721 are respectively provided with a first mounting hole 722 and a second mounting hole 723. The first mounting hole 722 and the second mounting hole 723 are coaxially arranged, and the first mounting hole 722 extends through the side wall where it is located. The driving member 73 is movably inserted into the slot 721, and the guide post 724 passes through the first mounting hole 722, the guide groove 731, and the second mounting hole 723 in sequence, and the guide post 724 is interference-fitted with the second mounting hole 723. This arrangement can prevent the guide post 724 from being separated from the guide groove 731.

[0054] Please refer to the attached Figure 3-6In some embodiments of the present application, the adjustment device 70 further includes an elastic member 74, the ends of which are connected to the mounting base 71 and the driving member 73, respectively. The elastic member 74 is used to provide an elastic force to the driving member 73, and the elastic force is used to drive the driving member 73 to move, thereby driving the positioning protrusion 72 from the second position to the first position. This configuration not only enables the driving member 73 to move in the first direction under the elastic force provided by the elastic member 74 to drive the positioning protrusion 72 from the second position to the first position without user intervention, but also makes it easier for the driving member 73 to move in the second direction, thereby reducing the risk of the driving member 73 moving in the second direction due to user error.

[0055] The present application has no specific limitation on the position of the elastic member 74, as long as the elastic member 74 can apply elastic force along the first direction to the driving member 73. For example, the elastic member 74 can be arranged on one side of the driving member 73 along the first direction. Figure 4-6 The elastic member 74 is located on the upstream side of the driving member 73 along the first direction. When the positioning protrusion 72 is in the second position, the elastic member 74 is compressed between the driving member 73 and the mounting seat 71. In order to limit the displacement of the elastic member 74, a limiting rod 75 is provided on the upstream side of the driving member 73 along the first direction. The elastic member 74 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the limiting rod 75.
