[0033] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0034] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.
[0035] A dumbbell with adjustable length, such as Figure 1-9 As shown, it includes a main rod body 1, two groups of main rod bodies 1 are fixedly connected together, and the other ends of the two groups of main rod bodies 1 are respectively fixedly connected to a group of locking mechanisms 3, and the outer wall sliding sleeve of the locking mechanism 3 is provided with a counterweight block 4;
[0036] The main rod body 1 includes a sleeve 101, a slide rod 102, a groove 103, a ring 104, a push ring 105, a protrusion 106, a rotating arm 107, a chuck 108 and an extension rod 109. The inner walls of the two sets of sleeves 101 are respectively slidably connected with a set of slide rods 102 extending to the outside of the sleeve 101. One end of the two sets of sleeves 101 is respectively fixedly connected with a set of locking mechanisms 3. The ends of the two sets of slide rods 102 located outside the sleeve 101 are fixedly connected together. The outer walls of the two sets of slide rods 102 are provided with multiple sets of grooves 103. The other ends of the two sets of sleeves 101 are respectively fixedly connected with a set of rings 104. The two sets of rings 104 are respectively sleeved on a set of The outer wall of the sliding rod 102 and the side wall of the ring 104 are rotatably connected to the pushing ring 105, and the inner wall of the pushing ring 105 is fixedly connected to multiple groups of protrusions 106 located inside the ring 104. The inner wall of the ring 104 is rotatably connected to one end of multiple groups of rotating arms 107, and the other ends of the multiple groups of rotating arms 107 are respectively hinged with a group of clamps 108, and the side walls of the multiple groups of clamps 108 are respectively fixedly connected to multiple groups of convex strips that match the grooves 103. The rotating arm 107 is provided with a group of torsion springs at the connection with the ring 104, and the clamp 108 is provided with another group of torsion springs at the connection with the rotating arm 107. The side wall of the ring 104 is fixedly connected to a group of extension rods 109.
[0037] By pushing the two sets of sleeves 101 closer to or away from each other, the slide rod 102 slides out of or into the sleeve 101, thereby adjusting the length of the dumbbell. When the dumbbell is used, the locking device is subjected to tension, and the locking structure is used to pull the extension rod 109, so that the extension rod 109 drives the rotating ring to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating ring, the protrusion 106 is driven to rotate, so that the protrusion 106 contacts the rotating arm 107, causing the rotating arm 107 to flip and twist the torsion spring. During the flipping process, the rotating arm 107 drives the clamp 108 to approach the slide rod 102, so that the clamp 108 drives the protrusion to extend into the groove 103. When the dumbbell is not in use, the locking structure is not subjected to force, so the extension rod 109 will not be pulled, so that the torsion drives the rotating arm 107 to reset, and the connection between the chuck 108 and the rotating arm 107 is hinged, and the curvature of the chuck 108 matches the outer wall of the slide rod 102, so that the chuck 108 can fit snugly on the outer wall of the slide rod 102, and after the rotating arm 107 is pushed to reset by the torsion spring, another set of torsion springs pushes the chuck 108 to reset, so that the angle between the chuck 108 and the rotating arm 107 returns to the initial state.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 1-9The outer walls of the two sets of sleeves 101 are respectively fixedly connected to a set of fixing mechanisms 2, which include a connecting belt 201, a rotating ring 202, a binding belt 203, a limit block 204, a limit tooth 205, a latch 206, a push plate 207 and a return spring 208. The end of the extension rod 109 is fixedly connected to one end of a set of connecting belts 201, the other end of the connecting belt 201 is fixedly connected to the binding belt 203, and the side wall of the binding belt 203 is fixedly connected to one end of another set of connecting belts 201. The outer wall of the sleeve 101 is rotatably connected to a set of rotating rings 202, and the other set of connecting belts 201 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating ring 202. One end of the strap 203 is fixedly connected to a group of limit blocks 204, and the other end of the strap 203 extends to the inner wall of the limit block 204. The side wall of the strap 203 is fixedly connected to multiple groups of limit teeth 205. The inner wall of the limit block 204 is slidably connected to a group of latches 206. One end of the latch 206 abuts against the side wall of the limit teeth 205, and the other end of the latch 206 is fixedly connected to a group of push plates 207 extending to the outside of the limit block 204. The latch 206 is fixedly connected to one end of a return spring 208 at the connection between the latch and the push plate 207, and the other end of the return spring 208 is fixedly connected to the other end of the limit block 204.
[0039] When using the dumbbells, the strap 203 is put on the wrist, and then the user's hand is placed between the two sets of connecting straps 201 to hold the sleeve 101, so as to prevent the dumbbell from accidentally slipping during the use of the dumbbell, causing the user to be injured. The strap 203 is put on the user's wrist and then the end of the strap 203 is passed through the limit block 204, so that the strap 203 drives the limit tooth 205 to pass through the limit block 204. During this process, the limit tooth 205 contacts the pin 206, so that the pin 206 is pushed and compressed to compress the reset spring 208. When a set of limit teeth 205 passes the pin 206, the reset spring 208 pushes the pin 206 to return to its original position. , so that the limiting tooth 205 is blocked by the latch 206 and cannot slide, thereby making the strap 203 tightly wrapped around the user's wrist and not loose. When the strap 203 needs to be removed from the user's wrist, the push rod is pushed to drive the latch 206 to compress the return spring 208, so that the latch 206 cannot contact the limiting tooth 205. At this time, the strap 203 can be pulled out from the inside of the limiting block 204, so that the user's wrist and the strap 203 are separated. In the process of fixing the strap 203 on the user's wrist, the connecting belt 201 is pulled, so that the extension rod 109 is pulled by the connecting belt 201, thereby making it impossible for the main rod body 1 to adjust the length.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 1-9The locking mechanism 3 includes a fixed tube 301, a sliding groove 302, a bidirectional threaded rod 303, a sliding block 304, a push rod 305, a sliding bar 306, a sponge 307 and a limiting piece 308. The fixed tube 301 is fixedly connected to one end of the sleeve 101, and the outer wall of the sleeve 101 is provided with multiple groups of sliding grooves 302. The inner wall of the fixed tube 301 is rotatably connected to the bidirectional threaded rod 303. The outer wall of the bidirectional threaded rod 303 is threadedly connected with two groups of sliding blocks 304. The side walls of the two groups of sliding blocks 304 are respectively hinged to one end of a group of push rods 305. The other ends of the two groups of push rods 305 on the same side are hinged to a group of sliding bars 306. The bottom end of the inner wall of the sliding bar 306 is fixedly connected to a sponge 307. The top of the sponge 307 is fixedly connected to multiple groups of limiting pieces 308 extending to the outside of the sliding bar 306.
[0041] The user can arrange the counterweight blocks 4 of different weights on the outer wall of the fixed tube 301 according to his own needs, and then rotate the two-way threaded rod 303 so that the two-way threaded rod 303 pushes the two sets of sliders closer to each other, so that the two sets of sliders push the two sets of push rods 305 on the same side on the sliders closer to each other, thereby causing the push rod 305 to push the sliding block 304 to slide toward the outside of the fixed tube 301. During this process, some of the limiting plates 308 are blocked by the inner wall of the counterweight block 4, so that these blocked limiting plates 308 compress the sponge 307 and cannot slide out of the fixed tube 301, and the remaining limiting plates 308 not blocked by the counterweight block 4 extend out of the fixed tube 301, so that the counterweight block 4 is blocked by these limiting plates 308 extending out of the fixed tube 301 and cannot slide out of the fixed tube 301. The existing dumbbell uses a nut to fix the counterweight block 4, but the nut is easy to lose during actual use. The technical solution in this patent avoids this shortcoming.
[0042] When in use, by pushing the two sets of sleeves 101 away from each other, the two sets of slide rods 102 slide out of the sleeves 101, thereby lengthening the total length of the dumbbell, and adjusting the length of the dumbbell. The locking structure pulls the push ring 105 to rotate, so that when the dumbbell is in use, the push ring 105 pushes the clamp 108 closer to the slide rod 102, so that the convex strip on the side wall of the clamp 108 slides into the groove 103 on the outer wall of the slide rod 102.
[0043] Although an embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, this specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the invention. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions and variations to the embodiment without creative contribution as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
