Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of fitness equipment, in particular to a hula hoop connecting assembly and a hula hoop composed of the same. BACKGROUND

[0002] The hula hoop, also known as a fitness hoop, is popular among people because of its affordable price and the fact that it does not require a large exercise space. It is often seen in parks and indoor living rooms. The waist and abdominal muscles can be well exercised under the action of the hula hoop. In addition to being used as a fitness exercise device, the hula hoop can also be used for competitions and performances.

[0003] Conventional hula hoops are of a one-piece type, i.e. most hula hoops are closed rings. However, one-piece hula hoops occupy a large space and are not convenient to carry, so detachable hula hoops have emerged. However, the existing detachable hula hoops emit a large amount of noise during use, resulting in poor user experience. SUMMARY

The L-shaped arrangement of the two ends of the damping component can achieve a double damping effect.

[0014] Further, the connecting assembly is provided with a protruding block at both ends of the middle part, the convex structure at both ends of the damping component includes a first convex structure located on the same side of the protruding block, and the distance from the highest point of the first convex structure to the inclined surface of the inner recess of the connecting assembly is greater than the distance from the highest point of the protruding block to the inclined surface of the inner recess of the connecting assembly.

[0054] In an exemplary hula hoop embodiment, a counterweight unit is further included, the end of the counterweight unit is connected with a movable sliding structure through a connecting component, and the movable sliding structure slides in a sliding groove; the connecting component can be a steel wire or a hemp rope. When the hula hoop is rotated, the counterweight unit exerts a pulling force on the hula hoop, so that the hula hoop presses the exercise part of the user to exercise, and the sliding structure is limited to slide in the sliding groove to avoid flying out of the sliding groove during the movement. The movable sliding structure slides in the sliding groove structure to generate a centrifugal force acting on the hula hoop connection assembly.

[0055] In an exemplary hula hoop embodiment, the ball of the counterweight unit is filled with liquid or sand. The weight of the counterweight unit can be increased or decreased according to the actual exercise needs of the user.
