Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a climbing mechanism, in particular, a climbing mechanism with reduced height of slide rail. BACKGROUND

[0002] A climbing machine is a common sports equipment, which is provided with a displaceable foot pedal and a handle on a vertical rail. An operator pedals the foot pedal with his feet and holds the handle with his hands, so that the feet and hands move in a straight line to achieve the effect of simulating rock climbing.

[0003] Specifically, the climbing machine includes a climbing machine provided in Chinese Patent No. CN210205813U and a column type combined climbing fitness machine provided in US Patent No. US10758776B2.

[0004] In the aforementioned CN210205813U patent, a connecting frame is provided which can move up and down relative to the frame. The handle and the foot pedal are arranged on the connecting frame. Since the handle and the foot pedal are arranged on the same connecting frame, the connecting frame must be high enough for the operator to hold the handle and pedal the foot pedal to move back and forth. In order to maintain the balance of the climbing machine, the connecting frame must be arranged in the center of the climbing machine, which will block the operator's view.

[0005] In the aforementioned US10758776B2 patent, the handle and the foot pedal are also arranged on the two ends of the same column. Similar to the aforementioned CN210205813U patent, the column must also be high enough, which will also block the operator's view.

[0006] Since the operator's view is blocked, in the aforementioned CN210205813U patent, if a screen is installed on the climbing machine, if the screen is installed on the side away from the operator, the screen will be blocked by the connecting frame. If the screen is installed on the side close to the operator, the screen will be too close to the operator and inconvenient for the operator to watch.

[0045] In summary, the main effects of the climbing mechanism of the present application will be clearly presented in the following embodiments and drawings.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , which discloses the first embodiment of the climbing mechanism of the present application, for an operator A to operate in a standing position (the operator A please refer to Figure 14When the operator A operates the climbing mechanism in an upright position, the extension direction of the body trunk is defined as a height direction. The terms of left and right, up and down, body width, near and far, etc. are based on the position of the operator A in the operating state.

[0047] The climbing mechanism comprises a support 10, a first slide rail set 20, a second slide rail set 30, a first pedal 40, a second pedal 50, a first handle 60, a second handle 70, a transmission unit 80, a resistance unit 90, and a screen 100. The first pedal 40 and the first handle 60 are slidably arranged on the first slide rail set 20, and the second pedal 50 and the second handle 70 are slidably arranged on the second slide rail set 30.

[0048] The support 10 comprises a column 101, a base 102, and a screen frame 103. The column 101 extends obliquely along a Z direction (i.e. the height direction). The base 102 is arranged on an XY plane perpendicular to the Z direction. The XY plane is formed by an X direction and a Y direction perpendicular to each other, wherein the X direction is the body width direction of the operator A. The screen frame 103 extends obliquely upward from the column 101 in a direction away from the operator A. The support 10 defines a first side 104 on the left and a second side 105 on the right in the X direction.

[0049] The screen 100 is arranged on the screen frame 103, and the screen 100 corresponds to an eye position of the operator A in the height direction. Since the screen frame 103 extends obliquely upward in a direction away from the operator A, the screen 100 can be kept at an appropriate distance from the operator A, reducing the eye burden of the operator A, in addition to corresponding to the eye position of the operator A.

[0050] Preferably, the base 102 is provided with two support rods 1021 arranged side by side in the Y direction. The support rods 1021 extend along the X direction, and have different lengths and appearances according to the center of gravity position of the climbing mechanism, to ensure the stability of the climbing mechanism and the operation safety of the operator A.

[0051] The first slide rail set 20 and the second slide rail set 30 are arranged upright on the column 101, and are arranged side by side on the column 101 in the X direction, so that the first slide rail set 20 is located on the first side 104 and the second slide rail set 30 is located on the second side 105.

[0052] Preferably, the first sliding rail set 20 has a first top end 20a which is the highest in the height direction, the second sliding rail set 30 has a second top end 30a which is the highest in the height direction, and the column 101 has a column top end 101a which is the highest in the height direction, and the first top end 20a, the second top end 30a and the column top end 101a are all lower than the eye level of the operator A in the height direction.

[0053] In the present embodiment, the first sliding rail set 20 and the second sliding rail set 30 each have two sliding rails side by side in the Y direction. The first sliding rail set 20 includes a first near sliding rail 201 close to the operator A and a first far sliding rail 202 far from the operator A, and the second sliding rail set 30 includes a second near sliding rail 301 close to the operator A and a second far sliding rail 302 far from the operator A. In the present embodiment, since the first far sliding rail 202 and the first near sliding rail 201 are fixed to the column 101, the upper end of the first far sliding rail 202 is slightly higher than the upper end of the first near sliding rail 201 in the height direction, and therefore the first top end 20a of the first sliding rail set 20 refers to the upper end of the first far sliding rail 202; similarly, the upper end of the second far sliding rail 302 is slightly higher than the upper end of the second near sliding rail 301 in the height direction, and therefore the second top end 30a of the second sliding rail set 30 refers to the upper end of the second far sliding rail 302.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The transmission unit 80 is arranged on the first side 104 and the second side 105 of the bracket 10 and includes a first belt 801 and a second belt 802 which are connected to each other. The first belt 801 and the second belt 802 are respectively located on the first side 104 and the second side 105, and both of them are arranged in a loop along the height direction and can rotate back and forth relative to the bracket 10.

[0055] In the present embodiment, the first belt 801 includes a first far section 8011 (the operator A please refer to Figure 14 ) far from the operator A and a first near section 8012 close to the operator A, and the movement directions of the first far section 8011 and the first near section 8012 are opposite; the second belt 802 includes a second far section 8021 far from the operator A and a second near section 8022 (the second near section 8022 please refer to Figure 6 ) close to the operator A, and the movement directions of the second far section 8021 and the second near section 8022 are also opposite.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6The transmission unit 80 comprises a first pulley 803, a second pulley 804, a third pulley 805, a fourth pulley 806 and a rotating shaft 807 in addition to the first belt 801 and the second belt 802.

[0057] The first pulley 803 is pivotally connected above the upright 101 at the first side 104, the second pulley 804 is fixed to the rotating shaft 807 at the first side 104, the rotating shaft 807 is pivotally connected below the upright 101 and can rotate relative to the upright 101, the third pulley 805 is pivotally connected above the upright 101 at the second side 105, and the fourth pulley 806 is fixed to the rotating shaft 807 at the second side 105. The first belt 801 is looped around the first pulley 803 and the second pulley 804, and the second belt 802 is looped around the third pulley 805 and the fourth pulley 806. Since the second pulley 804 and the fourth pulley 806 are fixed to the rotating shaft 807, the second pulley 804, the rotating shaft 807 and the fourth pulley 806 can rotate synchronously, thereby causing the first belt 801 and the second belt 802 to rotate synchronously.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 The first pedal 40 is provided with a first sliding block 401, and the first sliding block 401 is fixed to the first proximal section 8012 by a first connecting plate 402. The second pedal 50 is provided with a second sliding block 501, and the second sliding block 501 is fixed to the second distal section 8021 by a second connecting plate 502. The first handle 60 is provided with a third sliding block 601, and the third sliding block 601 is fixed to the first distal section 8011 by a third connecting plate 602. The second handle 70 is provided with a fourth sliding block 701, and the fourth sliding block 701 is fixed to the first proximal section 8012 by a fourth connecting plate 702.

[0059] At least one roller 403, 503, 603, 703 is arranged on each of the first sliding block 401, the second sliding block 501, the third sliding block 601 and the fourth sliding block 701.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 8 to 10 By rolling the rollers 403, 503, 603, 703 in the first sliding rail set 20 and the second sliding rail set 30, the first sliding block 401, the second sliding block 501, the third sliding block 601 and the fourth sliding block 701 slide relative to the first sliding rail set 20 and the second sliding rail set 30.

[0061] More specifically, the first slider 401 slides on the first near slide rail 201, the second slider 501 slides on the second near slide rail 301, the third slider 601 slides on the first far slide rail 202, and the fourth slider 701 slides on the second far slide rail 302.

[0062] The rollers 403, 503, 603, 703 ensure that the first footboard 40, the second footboard 50, the first handle 60, and the second handle 70 can slide smoothly and stably along the first slide rail set 20 or the second slide rail set 30.

[0063] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 11 , the first footboard 40, the second footboard 50, the first handle 60, and the second handle 70 are connected to the transmission unit 80 and slide reciprocally on the first slide rail set 20 and the second slide rail set 30. The first footboard 40 and the first handle 60 are slidably arranged on the first side 104, and the second footboard 50 and the second handle 70 are slidably arranged on the second side 105. The first footboard 40 and the second footboard 50 are adjacent to each other and separated by a distance in the X direction, and the first handle 60 and the second handle 70 are also adjacent to each other and separated by another distance in the X direction. Since the first slide rail set 20 and the second slide rail set 30 are arranged centrally on the upright column 101, which is located at the central position of the operator A's body (the operator A please refer to Figure 14 ), the climbing mechanism does not occupy too much space and allows the operator A to operate more naturally.

[0064] Referring to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 11 , the operator A's left foot and right foot are constantly kept in alternating steps (the operator A please refer to Figure 14 ). That is, when the operator A's left foot steps down on the first footboard 40, the first belt 801 rotates, thereby driving the first pulley 803 and the second pulley 804 to rotate. At this time, since the second pulley 804 and the fourth pulley 806 are synchronously connected, the fourth pulley 806 drives the second belt 802 and the third pulley 805 to rotate, so that the second footboard 50 and the first handle 60 are raised. Similarly, when the operator A's right foot steps down on the second footboard 50, the first footboard 40 and the second handle 70 are raised by the action of the transmission unit 80. By alternately stepping on the first footboard 40 and the second footboard 50, the purpose of reciprocating motion is achieved. In addition, the climbing mechanism allows the operator A's right hand and left foot to be synchronously connected and moved up and down, and the left hand and right foot to be synchronously connected and moved up and down, which is more in line with actual movement habits.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 13A and Figure 13B The resistance unit 90 is arranged on the support 10, and comprises a driving wheel 901, a driven wheel 902, a small driven wheel 9021, a resistance wheel 903, a resistance member 904, a third belt 905, a fourth belt 906 and a control member 907, so as to apply a resistance to the first pedal 40, the second pedal 50, the first handle 60 and the second handle 70, and to enhance the training effect. The driving wheel 901 is fixed to the rotating shaft 807, the driven wheel 902 and the small driven wheel 9021 are coaxial and rotate synchronously, the small driven wheel 9021 is connected to the driving wheel 901 through the third belt 905, the driven wheel 902 is connected to the resistance wheel 903 through the fourth belt 906, and the resistance member 904 is arranged corresponding to the resistance wheel 903. Preferably, the resistance member 904 is a magnetic resistance member, and the control member 907 is arranged on the support 10 and connected to the resistance member 904. The position of the magnetic resistance member is controlled through the control member 907, so as to change the resistance according to the requirement of the operator A (the operator A please refer to Figure 14 ). The resistance wheel 903 of the present application can also adopt other resistance structures, such as friction resistance, wind resistance, water resistance, motor or electromagnetic brake, etc.

[0066] Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 13A , Figure 13B and Figure 14 In more detail, when the operator A steps on the first pedal 40 and the second pedal 50 in turn, the second belt wheel 804 and the fourth belt wheel 806 drive the driving wheel 901 to rotate, and then the driving wheel 901 drives the resistance wheel 903 to rotate through the third belt 905, the small driven wheel 9021, the driven wheel 902 and the fourth belt 906. The resistance is applied to the resistance wheel 903 through the resistance member 904, and is transmitted to the second belt wheel 804 and the fourth belt wheel 806 through the resistance unit 90, and then is applied to the first pedal 40, the second pedal 50, the first handle 60 and the second handle 70.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 14 and Figure 15, by juxtaposing the first slide rail set 20 and the second slide rail set 30, wherein the first top end 20a, the second top end 30a and the column top end 101a are not higher than the eye level of the operator A in the height direction, and the operator A's line of sight is not blocked by the first slide rail set 20, the second slide rail set 30 and the column 101. Whether the screen 100 is arranged on the climbing mechanism as in the embodiment, or a separate television, projection screen or the like is arranged, the operator A can easily watch without turning his head or looking obliquely.
