[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a Pilates training device and a method of use that are easy to store, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A Pilates training device that is easy to store includes a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, a storage mechanism, and a flipping mechanism. Limit frames are horizontally mounted at both ends of the first connecting plate, and sliding plates are horizontally mounted at both ends of the second connecting plate. The sliding plates are slidably connected to the inner walls of the limit frames. A slide bed is placed at the upper end of the limit frames and sliding plates, and the lower end of the slide bed slides via a track. A fixing frame is mounted on the side wall of the limit frames near the first connecting plate via an angle adjustment structure. The angle adjustment structure is a technology used in existing Pilates training devices and will not be described in detail. Two support rods are vertically arranged on the side of the second connecting plate near the sliding plates. A mounting frame is horizontally mounted on the upper end of the support rods near the upper wall of the slide bed. A roller is mounted on the end of the mounting frame away from the support rods. Two columns, corresponding one-to-one with the support rods, are vertically mounted on the upper end of the slide bed near the second connecting plate. A pull rope is mounted at the bottom of each column. The end of the pull rope away from the column passes through the mounting frame and loops around the column. The pull rope loops around the side wall of the roller.

[0008] The storage mechanism is set on the limiting frame and the sliding plate, and is used to adjust and store the track of the slide bed, so that the sliding plate is stored inside the limiting frame.

[0009] The flipping mechanism is located at the lower end of the support rod and is used to flip the support rod, mounting bracket and rollers, and store the support rod, mounting bracket and rollers. At the same time, the rollers are used to move the stored limiting frame and sliding plate.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention: the storage mechanism includes a support plate, which is horizontally installed at one end of the sliding plate near the center of the second connecting plate. The end of the support plate away from the sliding plate passes through the groove of the limiting frame and is disposed between the two sliding plates. A first track is horizontally installed on the side wall of the limiting frame at the upper end of the groove of the limiting frame. A first inclined block is installed at one end of the first track near the second connecting plate. A second track that cooperates with the first track is provided at the upper end of the support plate. A second inclined block that cooperates with the first inclined block is installed at one end of the second track near the first connecting plate. The inclined surface of the first inclined block and the inclined surface of the second inclined block are in contact. The lower end of the slide bed rolls along the upper end of the first track and the second track via a moving wheel. A traction component that facilitates the movement of the second track is provided on the support plate.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the traction assembly includes a plurality of connecting blocks, the connecting blocks are installed on the side wall of the second track away from the sliding plate, a slide rod is vertically installed at the lower end of the connecting block, a stop block is installed at the lower end of the slide rod through the support plate, and a spring for pushing the stop block away from the support plate is sleeved on the side wall of the slide rod between the stop block and the support plate, and the two ends of the spring are respectively installed on the support plate and the stop block.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the flipping mechanism includes a pin, a rotating rod is installed at the lower end of the support rod, the two ends of the rotating rod are rotatably connected to the side wall of the sliding plate below the support plate, one end of the rotating rod passes through the sliding plate and is mounted on a rotating disk, a through hole is opened on the side of the rotating disk near the roller, the line connecting the through hole and the center of the rotating disk is parallel to the support rod, a first pin hole is opened on the side wall of the sliding plate directly above the rotating rod to cooperate with the through hole, a second pin hole is opened on the side wall of the sliding plate below the rotating rod near the limiting frame to cooperate with the through hole, and the pin is inserted into the through hole and the first pin hole.

[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: a sponge sleeve for anti-slip is installed on the side wall of the fixing frame.

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: the upper ends of both the first track and the second track are provided with limiting grooves for limiting the movement of the lower end of the slide.

[0015] As a further aspect of the present invention: reinforcing ribs for improving the structural strength of the support rod and the rotating rod are installed on the side walls of both the support rod and the rotating rod.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention: the rotating disk is equipped with a handle that facilitates the user's rotation of the rotating disk.

[0017] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a connecting rope for preventing the pin from being lost is installed at the end of the pin away from the sliding plate, and the end of the connecting rope away from the pin is installed on the rotating disk.

[0018] A method for using a Pilates training device that is easy to store includes the following steps:

[0019] Step 1: Swing the fixing frame to a horizontal position using the angle adjustment structure. Then, the user removes the pin from the first pin hole and the through hole. Next, rotate the rotating disk, which drives the rotating rod to rotate. The rotating rod drives the support rod to swing towards the first connecting plate. The support rod drives the mounting frame to swing, and the mounting frame drives the roller to swing, aligning the through hole and the second pin hole. Then, insert the pin through the through hole into the second pin hole. At this time, the lower end of the roller contacts the ground and supports the sliding plate. This process requires lifting the second connecting plate to a certain height, so two people are needed to work together.

[0020] Step 2: Push the second connecting plate closer to the first connecting plate. The second connecting plate pushes the sliding plate to move. The sliding plate drives the support plate to move. The support plate drives the slide rod to move. The slide rod drives the connecting block to move. The connecting block drives the second track to move. The second track drives the second inclined block to move. Under the action of the inclined plane, the second inclined block moves along the inclined plane of the first inclined block, so that the second track moves to the upper end of the first track. The second track pulls the connecting block to move. The connecting block drives the slide rod to move. The slide rod drives the stop block to move. The stop block compresses the spring. Since the slide bed is only placed on the limit frame, the second track will push the moving wheel on the slide bed to move upward a certain distance.

[0021] Step 3: The user lifts the fixed frame and moves the limiting frame and sliding plate freely by using the rolling wheels.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] This invention utilizes the cooperation of the first and second inclined blocks. During use, the second track moves to the support plate under the action of the spring, and the support plate supports the second track, facilitating the sliding of the slide. When storing, the second track moves to the upper end of the first track, and the sliding plate is stored inside the limiting frame, reducing the size of the device and making it easier to store.

[0024] By swinging the rollers to the ground, the rollers support the sliding plate, forming a "trolley" shape with the second inclined block, making it easy for users to move the device and store it. Attached Figure Description

The support rod 7 drives the mounting frame 8 to swing, and the mounting frame 8 drives the roller 9 to swing, aligning the through hole 26 and the second pin hole 25. Then, the pin 4 is inserted into the second pin hole 25 through the through hole 26. At this time, the lower end of the roller 9 is in contact with the ground and supports the sliding plate 3. This process requires lifting the second connecting plate 6 to a certain height, so two people are needed to cooperate.

[0042] Then, push the second connecting plate 6 closer to the first connecting plate 1. The second connecting plate 6 pushes the sliding plate 3 to move. The sliding plate 3 drives the support plate 12 to move. The support plate 12 drives the sliding rod 23 to move. The sliding rod 23 drives the connecting block 18 to move. The connecting block 18 drives the second track 11 to move. The second track 11 drives the second inclined block 19 to move. Under the action of the inclined plane, the second inclined block 19 moves along the inclined plane of the first inclined block 16, so that the second track 11 moves to the upper end of the first track 20. The second track 11 pulls the connecting block 18 to move. The connecting block 18 drives the sliding rod 23 to move. The sliding rod 23 drives the stop block 22 to move. The stop block 22 compresses the spring 21. Since the slide bed 14 is only placed on the limit frame 2, the second track 11 will push the moving wheel on the slide bed 14 to move upward a certain distance.

[0043] Then the user lifts the fixing frame 15 and uses the rollers 9 to move the limiting frame 2 and the sliding plate 3 freely.

[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention.
