The outward extension of the adjusting plate 13 is sleeved on the adjusting rod 321 and is threadedly connected with the adjusting rod 321. The bolt body 31 is axially penetrated by a first connecting groove 14 for the connecting rod 322 to slide. The adjusting rod 321 is axially penetrated by a first connecting groove 14. A second connecting groove 15 is provided for the connecting rod 322 to slide, and the bolt body 31 is used to adjust the distance between the rear roller shaft 2 and the front roller shaft 2 (existing technology). When it is necessary to rotate the adjusting rod 321 to adjust the position of the adjusting plate 13, the connecting rod 322 with a quadrilateral columnar structure can be inserted into the second connecting groove 15, and the adjusting rod 321 can be rotated. It should be noted that: after rotating the adjusting rod 321 to adjust the adjusting plate 13, the connecting rod 322 can be pulled to disengage the connecting rod 322 from the adjusting rod 321, and the reverse rotation drives the rear roller shaft 2 to return to its original position.

[0031] Specific reference Figure 5 A groove is formed at one end of the bolt body 31 , in which a bearing 16 is embedded. A convex portion 17 is formed at one end of the adjusting rod 321 , and the convex portion 17 is fixed in the inner ring of the bearing 16 .

[0032] Specific reference Figure 5 A tail plate is provided at one end of the connecting rod 322 located outside the bolt body 31, and a plurality of groups of insertion rods 18 are provided along the circumferential side of the end surface of the tail plate close to the bolt body 31. A second tail plate is provided on the side of the bolt body 31 close to the tail plate, and the second tail plate is provided with a slot 19 for inserting the insertion rod 18. In this way, the connection strength between the connecting rod 322 and the bolt body 31 can be increased.

[0033] Specific reference Figure 4 Rollers 20 are rotatably arranged at the four corners of the bottom end surface of the walking board body 501, and the rollers 20 are arranged in contact with the base plate 502. During the circular sliding process of the walking board body 501, the rollers 20 can play a supporting role, so that the walking board body 501 slides more smoothly.

[0034] A specific application example of this embodiment is:

[0035] When the device is in use, when an exerciser walks on the treadmill belt, the weight of the exerciser will cause the treadmill belt to sag, and when the treadmill belt sags, it will contact the walking board body 501. When the exerciser pushes backward, the walking board body 501 will move backward with the treadmill belt. After the exerciser lifts his foot, the walking board body 501 will return to the initial position under the action of the return spring, ready for the next walking by the exerciser.
