Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a fitness and recreational ring, and more specifically, to an outdoor fitness and recreational ring for two people of all ages to interact with, belonging to the field of fitness equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Outdoor fitness and recreational equipment is a type of public facility commonly found in outdoor plazas, communities, and parks, typically used to meet the physical exercise and recreational needs of both adults and children. Playground facilities primarily target children, and their design must consider the physiological scale and psychological characteristics of children of different age groups. This ensures that the equipment meets the activity requirements of children of different ages while preventing damage or safety hazards caused by improper use by children of other ages. Common playground equipment can be roughly divided into the following categories: climbing, sliding, swinging, rotating, drop, and suspension equipment. In practice, they are often combined to form large-scale integrated playground facilities. Fitness facilities refer to sports and fitness equipment set up in communities, parks, or plazas. Existing facilities are mostly designed for adult ergonomics. They not only provide convenient conditions for residents to improve their health but also provide a platform for leisure and recreation. Fitness facilities can be broadly categorized based on their form and function: stretching, twisting, aerobic, and strength training equipment. Recreational and fitness facilities in public spaces not only meet people's daily recreational needs but also strengthen their mental and physical abilities, improving their quality of life. They are essential environmental facilities in parks, squares, and communities. These two types of outdoor public facilities are especially popular with the elderly and children, whose needs for outdoor exercise and recreation overlap significantly in terms of time and space.

[0003] However, to address the above needs, existing outdoor fitness and recreational facilities on the market all separate adult and children's sections, resulting in low interaction between the two groups. The following drawbacks have been identified: 1) Existing fitness equipment is designed for adult ergonomics, posing certain risks to children during use; 2) Children's play areas are designed for children's ergonomics and aesthetics, leading to low adult participation; 3) Adults need to constantly supervise young children using these facilities; 4) Interaction between adults and children is weak. Therefore, we propose an interactive outdoor fitness and recreational equipment for both adults and children to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides an outdoor fitness and recreational ring system for two people, designed to meet the recreational and exercise needs of both adults and children, while also taking into account the human-machine dimensions of both adults and children and adjusting for the strength differences between adults and children.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] An outdoor fitness and entertainment ring for two people, young and old, includes a support frame. Two hollow crossbeams, the first and second, are connected to the support frame. Multiple fixed pulleys are installed inside the first and second crossbeams. The first and second crossbeams have front and rear pre-drilled holes at their ends, respectively. Steel cables, the first and second, are respectively installed inside the first and second crossbeams, both of which pass around the fixed pulleys. The rear ends of the first and second steel cables pass through the rear pre-drilled holes and are connected to movable pulleys. A child-end crossbar is connected between the movable pulleys for children's use. The front ends of the first and second steel cables pass through the front pre-drilled holes and are respectively connected to rings, the first and second, for adults' use.

[0007] Preferably, the movable pulley and the fixed pulley acting on the steel cable constitute a pulley group structure No. 1. The fixed pulley in the pulley group structure No. 1 includes a crossbeam-adult end pulley, a crossbeam-child end pulley 1, and a crossbeam-child end pulley 2 that are rotatably connected in the crossbeam. The movable pulley includes a child end crossbar pulley 2.

[0008] The rear end of the steel cable passes over the child end pulley of the crossbeam and then passes over the child end crossbar pulley from bottom to top. The steel cable passing over the child end crossbar pulley from top to bottom passes over the child end pulley of the crossbeam and is connected to the child end crossbar pulley. The front end of the steel cable passes over the adult end pulley of the crossbeam and is connected to the hanging ring.

[0009] Preferably, the movable pulley and fixed pulley acting on the steel cable two constitute the second pulley group structure. The fixed pulley in the second pulley group structure includes an adult end pulley, a child end pulley one, and a child end pulley two on the crossbeam two. The movable pulley includes a child end crossbar pulley one.

[0010] The rear end of the second steel cable passes over the child end pulley of the second crossbeam and then passes over the child end crossbar pulley from bottom to top. The second steel cable, which passes over the child end crossbar pulley, passes over the child end pulley of the second crossbeam from top to bottom and is connected to the child end crossbar pulley. The front end of the second steel cable passes over the adult end pulley of the second crossbeam and is connected to the second hanging ring.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting ball 1 and a limiting ball 2 are respectively connected to the steel cable 1 between the steel cable 1 and the front reserved hole, and to the steel cable 2 between the steel cable 2 and the front reserved hole. The diameter of the limiting ball 1 and the limiting ball 2 is larger than the front reserved hole to limit the rising height of the lifting ring 1 and the lifting ring 2.

[0012] Preferably, a child-end hanging ring one and a child-end hanging ring two are welded to the lower end of the child-end crossbar.

[0013] Preferably, the support frame includes four longitudinally arranged supports, the bottom ends of which form a square, and the tops of the supports extend towards the center to form a canopy, with the canopy between adjacent supports forming an inverted arc shape.

[0014] Preferably, the adjacent supports are connected by reinforcing ribs, the reinforcing ribs are attached to the supports, and the top of the reinforcing ribs is inverted arc shape with a gap between them and the ceiling.

[0015] Beneficial effects: This invention is suitable for adults and children of different ages. Adults are driven by the strength of their arms, while children are driven by their own body weight. Through the force conversion of the movable pulley system applied in this invention, the total force received by the adult end is one-third of the child's body weight, and the force received by a single hand is one-sixth. The displacement of the ring at the adult end is three times that at the child end, thus enabling adults and children of different sizes to exercise and have fun on the same equipment.

[0016] Since both the adult and child ends can drive the movement of their respective functional sections (the rings and the child's rings) through their own strength, the child's weight pulls the child's end bar down, while simultaneously causing the adult end rings to move upward. Thanks to the limiting ball device on the adult end of this invention, the excessive pulling of the child on the bar will also prevent the adult end rings from moving upward excessively due to the presence of the limiting ball.

[0017] When exercising or playing, people stand face to face. Due to differences in height, the use of internal pulleys ensures that the displacement of the child's end is only one-third that of the adult's end, thus guaranteeing the safety of children. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1-4 The illustration shows a specific embodiment of an interactive outdoor fitness and recreational ring for both adults and children. This embodiment includes a support frame 1, on which hollow crossbeams 2 and 3 are connected. The crossbeams 2 and 3 are symmetrical and welded to the support frame 1. Multiple fixed pulleys are installed inside the crossbeams 2 and 3. Front and rear pre-drilled holes are respectively provided at the ends of the crossbeams 2 and 3. Steel cables 6 and 7 are respectively installed inside the crossbeams 2 and 3, both of which bypass the fixed pulleys. The rear ends of the steel cables 6 and 7 pass through the rear pre-drilled holes and are connected to movable pulleys. A child-side crossbar 10 is connected between the movable pulleys for children's use. The front ends of the steel cables 6 and 7 pass through the front pre-drilled holes and are respectively connected to rings 8 and 9 for adults' use.

[0025] The movable pulley and fixed pulley acting on the steel cable 6 constitute the first pulley group structure. The fixed pulley in the first pulley group structure includes a crossbeam-adult end pulley 17, a crossbeam-child end pulley 18, and a crossbeam-child end pulley 29, which are rotatably connected in the crossbeam 2. The movable pulley includes a child end crossbar pulley 20. The rear end of the steel cable 6 passes over the crossbeam-child end pulley 18 and then passes over the child end crossbar pulley 20 from bottom to top. The steel cable 6 that passes over the child end crossbar pulley 20 passes over the crossbeam-child end pulley 29 from top to bottom and is connected to the child end crossbar pulley 20. The front end of the steel cable 6 passes over the crossbeam-adult end pulley 17 and is connected to the lifting ring 8.

[0026] The movable and fixed pulleys acting on the steel cable 27 constitute the second pulley group structure. The fixed pulleys in the second pulley group structure include the adult end pulley 13, the child end pulley 14, and the child end pulley 15 of the crossbeam 2. The movable pulley includes the child end crossbar pulley 16. The rear end of the steel cable 27 passes over the child end pulley 14 of the crossbeam 2 and then passes over the child end crossbar pulley 16 from bottom to top. The steel cable 27 that passes over the child end crossbar pulley 16 passes over the child end pulley 15 of the crossbeam 2 from top to bottom and is connected to the child end crossbar pulley 16. The front end of the steel cable 27 passes over the adult end pulley 13 of the crossbeam 2 and is connected to the second ring 9.

[0027] The working principle / method of this invention is as follows: This fitness and entertainment ring is suitable for adults' light upper limb stretching and strength training, as well as children's upper limb strength training and suspension entertainment. Adults pull on the adult-end ring 8 and ring 9 with their upper limbs, while children pull on the child-end rings 11 and 12 on the horizontal bar 10. The best way to use it is for adults and children to use it together, which can increase the relationship between generations, as detailed below:

[0028] When in use, adults and children stand on the side of the adult end ring 18 and ring 29, and the child end crossbar 10, respectively. The adult pulls down on the adult end ring 18 and ring 29 with the strength of both arms, which will cause the child end crossbar 10, which is connected by flexible steel cables 16 and 27, to move upward. Similarly, the child pulls down on the child end crossbar 10 with his / her own weight, which will cause the adult end ring 18 and ring 29, which are connected by flexible steel cables 16 and 27, to move upward.

[0029] The adult group stands on one side of the adult-end lifting rings 18 and 29, while the children's group stands on one side of the children's end crossbar 10. When the adult-end lifting rings 18 and 29 move downwards, the force is converted through the pulley system formed by the crossbeams 12 and 23 and the pulleys on the children's end crossbar (another preferred method: the movable pulleys 16 and 20 of the children's end crossbar are installed inside the children's end crossbar and steel cables 6 and 27 are passed through through holes). This results in the force exerted by the adult group's arms being one-third of the pressure applied by the children's group to the children's end crossbar 10. The specific ratio depends on the actual situation. The number of pulleys and fixed pulleys determines that the force exerted by an adult using one hand is one-sixth of the pressure applied by the child group to the horizontal bar 10 at the child's end. The downward displacement distance of the adult group's rings 1-8 and 2-9 is three times the upward displacement distance of the horizontal bar 10 at the child's end. Conversely, when the child group pulls the horizontal bar 10 at the child's end downwards using their own weight, the traction force on the adult group's rings 1-8 and 2-9 connected by flexible steel cables is one-sixth of the pressure exerted by the child group on the horizontal bar 10 at the child's end. The downward displacement distance of the horizontal bar 10 at the child's end is one-third of the upward displacement distance of the adult group's rings 1-8 and 2-9.

[0030] Installed above the adult-end ring 18 and ring 29, and fixed with a series of flexible steel cables 16 and 27, the limiting balls 14 and 25 prevent the child-end crossbar 10 from displacing downwards by a long distance. As a result, the adult-end ring 18 and ring 29 are pulled upwards by the flexible steel cables 16 and 27, and the limiting balls 14 and 25 limit the excessive upward displacement of the adult-end ring 18 and ring 29.

[0031] Because the users are of significantly different ages—adults and young preschool children—with varying heights, weights, and strengths, when the adult controls the downward movement of the adult-side rings 8 and 9, it drives the pulley system formed by the pulleys configured in the inner cavities of the crossbeams 2 and 3 (connected by flexible steel cables 6 and 7) and the two ends of the child-side crossbar 10. Since the adult's driving force is the strength of their arms, while the child's driving force is their own weight, the force conversion achieved through the pulley system formed by the crossbeams 2 and 3 and the child-side crossbar 10 results in the total force received by the adult-side rings 8 and 9 being one-third of the pressure exerted on the child-side crossbar 10 by the child, and the force received by a single ring being one-sixth. The displacement of the adult-side rings 8 and 9 is three times the displacement of the child-side crossbar 10, thus allowing adults and children of different ergonomic sizes to exercise and engage in recreational activities on the same equipment.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, limit balls 4 and 5 are connected to the steel cable 6 between the steel cable 6 and the pre-drilled hole, and to the steel cable 7 between the steel cable 7 and the pre-drilled hole, respectively. The diameters of the limit balls 4 and 5 are larger than the pre-drilled hole to limit the rising height of the hanging rings 8 and 9. When the child end crossbar 10 moves downward a long distance, the hanging rings 8 and 9 connected by the steel cables 6 and 7 are pulled upward. The limit balls 4 and 5 will limit the excessive upward movement of the adult end hanging rings 8 and 9 to avoid them being too high, which would be unfavorable for the normal adult end, and also to prevent the hanging rings 8 and 9 from hitting the crossbeams 2 and 3 and causing damage.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the child-side crossbar 10 is welded with a child-side hanging ring 11 and a child-side hanging ring 12 for the convenience of children.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the support frame 1 includes four longitudinally arranged supports, the bottom ends of which form a square, and the tops of the supports extend towards the center to form a canopy. The canopies between adjacent supports form an inverted arc shape, and the canopy and the supports are integrally formed, resulting in a simple structure and beautiful appearance.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the adjacent supports are connected by reinforcing ribs, which are attached to the supports. The top of the reinforcing ribs is inverted arc-shaped and has a gap with the ceiling, which enhances the structural strength and improves safety.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many variations are possible. All variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present invention should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
