Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of children's exercise technology, and more specifically to a children's health exercise device. Background Technology
[0002] During children's physical exercise, their muscles and bones receive external stimulation, which is beneficial to their development. Long-term, scientifically conducted physical exercise can increase the strength of children's respiratory muscles, thereby improving their lung capacity and enhancing their cardiopulmonary function. However, due to the immaturity of children and adolescents' physical development, the development of their physical fitness and motor skills is limited by their developmental level. Most sports have certain requirements for motor skills and physical fitness. Therefore, it is necessary to use appropriate exercise methods to train children's limbs and reduce the risk of obesity.
[0003] Currently, specialized equipment is frequently used for children's climbing training, which can effectively exercise children's limbs and cardiopulmonary function. For example, Chinese invention patent No. 202210208426.0 provides a smart preschool children's physical exercise device based on a smart home system. This device includes a climbing wall, with climbing blocks movably installed on one side of the wall through holes. This device can exercise children's climbing ability. However, most existing climbing devices for children's health and exercise are not very safe, and younger children are prone to falling from heights and getting injured. Summary of the Invention

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting assembly includes a second telescopic rod, one end of which is hinged to the support frame and the other end of which is hinged to the support plate. The middle part of the support plate is hinged to the support frame, and the hinge point of the support plate on the support frame is offset from the hinge point of the support frame on the lifting platform.
[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the friction mechanism includes:
[0022] The base plate is mounted on the base.
[0023] A support frame is disposed on the base plate, and a first elastic element is provided between the support frame and the base plate; and
[0024] A friction plate is disposed on the support frame, and a friction ring is disposed on the periphery of the climbing ring, with the friction plate abutting against the friction ring.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the support frame is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion, the axis of which coincides with the axis of the climbing ring, and the friction plate is provided with an installation groove. The friction plate is slidably engaged on the arc-shaped protrusion through the installation groove and is connected to the support frame by bolts.
[0026] In a preferred embodiment, the lifting platform is vertically and flexibly mounted on the base and connected to the base plate via a linkage assembly. The base plate is vertically and flexibly mounted on the base, and the linkage assembly converts the gravity acting on the lifting platform into a force that drives the base plate to rise.
[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the linkage component includes:
[0028] The lifting rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting platform and can be raised and lowered through the base.
[0029] A receiving seat is provided at the end of the lifting rod, and a driving rod is provided on the receiving seat;
[0030] A second elastic element is disposed at the bottom of the receiving seat and abuts against the base; and

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0035] 1. When using this device, the child is secured to the support plate using fixing components. The position of the support plate is adjusted by the support mechanism so that the child's limbs can reach the climbing protrusions. The child can then simulate rock climbing by moving the climbing protrusions with their hands and feet within the climbing ring. During the climb, a friction mechanism applies resistance to the climbing ring to simulate the force required in real rock climbing, thus effectively exercising the child's limbs. Furthermore, the staggered arrangement of the climbing protrusions trains the child's decision-making ability and reaction speed. Throughout the entire exercise process, the child's body is securely restrained, eliminating the risk of falling and improving the safety of the device during use.
[0036] 2. When using this device, after the child is fixed on the support plate, the child's weight causes the lifting rod to move down a certain distance. The receiving seat compresses the second elastic element, causing the drive rod to move down. During the movement, the drive rod, in cooperation with the sliding frame, drives the push frame to rotate along the axis of the mounting column, thereby causing the push plate to move up and lift the base plate, thus compressing the second elastic element to increase the friction between the friction plate and the friction ring. This allows for adaptive adjustment of the climbing force according to the child's weight, making the device suitable for children of all ages and increasing the exercise intensity for obese children without requiring manual adjustment of the climbing force.

[0053] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0054] Example:
[0055] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the present invention provides a children's health exercise device, including a base 101, on which a climbing ring 201 is rotatably mounted. Multiple sets of climbing protrusions 203 of various shapes are staggered on the inner circular surface of the climbing ring 201. A support plate 703 is mounted on the base 101, located inside the climbing ring 201. The support plate 703 is equipped with a fixing component for securing the child's body, including a chest strap 706, two sets of shoulder straps 707, and three sets of leg straps 705. The chest strap 706 is mounted on the support plate 703 and cooperates with it to form a space to accommodate the child's chest cavity. One end of each shoulder strap 707 is fixedly connected to the support plate 703, and the other end is detachably connected to the chest strap 706. One end of each leg strap 705 is fixedly connected to the support plate 703, and the ends of two sets of leg straps 705 are detachably connected to the other set of leg straps in a Y-shape.
[0056] In use, the child's hips are first secured using three sets of leg straps 705, the chest is secured using the chest strap 706, and the shoulders are secured using two sets of shoulder straps 707. This ensures the child's body is firmly positioned on one side of the support plate 703, while allowing ample room for movement of the child's limbs. The leg straps 705, chest strap 706, and shoulder straps 707 are all adjustable to accommodate children of different sizes, effectively preventing falls during exercise and improving the device's safety. After securing the child, they can rotate the climbing ring 201 by actuating four sets of climbing protrusions 203 to simulate rock climbing exercises.
[0057] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a support mechanism connected to a support plate 703 is provided on the base 101, and the support plate 703 is adjustablely supported by the support mechanism. The support mechanism includes a lifting platform 301 provided on the base 101, a support frame 701 hinged to the lifting platform 301, and the support plate 703 provided on the support frame 701. One end of a first telescopic rod 702 is hinged to the lifting platform 301, and the other end is hinged to the support frame 701. The support frame 701 is provided with an adjustment component connected to the support plate 703, and the angle of the support plate 703 is adjusted by the adjustment component. The adjustment component includes a second telescopic rod 704, one end of which is hinged to the support frame 701, and the other end is hinged to the support plate 703. The middle part of the support plate 703 is hinged to the support frame 701, and the hinge point of the support plate 703 on the support frame 701 is staggered with the hinge point of the support frame 701 on the lifting platform 301.
[0058] After the child is secured to the support plate 703 using the fixing components, the first telescopic rod 702 can be controlled to extend and retract, causing the support frame 701 to rotate along its hinge point with the lifting platform 301, allowing the child to approach the inner wall of the climbing ring 201. The second telescopic rod 704 can also be controlled to extend and retract, causing the support plate 703 to rotate along its hinge point with the support frame 701, adjusting the child's position so that the child's limbs can better contact the climbing protrusions 203, facilitating limb exertion and improving exercise effectiveness. It is understood that the first telescopic rod 702 and the second telescopic rod 704 can be electric telescopic rods, hydraulic telescopic rods, or telescopic motors, etc.
[0059] like Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, a friction mechanism connected to the climbing ring 201 is provided on the base 101, which applies resistance to the rotation of the climbing ring 201. The friction mechanism includes a base plate 501 provided on the base 101, a support frame 503 provided on the base plate 501, a first elastic element 502 between the support frame 503 and the base plate 501, a friction plate 505 provided on the support frame 503, and a friction ring 202 provided on the periphery of the climbing ring 201, with the friction plate 505 abutting against the friction ring 202.
[0060] The support frame 503 and the base plate 501 compress the first elastic element 502, and the first elastic element 502 applies an upward force to the support frame 503, thereby increasing the friction between the friction plate 505 and the friction ring 202, so as to increase the resistance when the climbing ring 201 rotates, to simulate the resistance brought by the body weight during climbing, making the climbing simulation more realistic and improving the training effect.
[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the support frame 503 is provided with an arc-shaped protrusion 504, the axis of which coincides with the axis of the climbing ring 201. The friction plate 505 has a mounting groove 506, and the friction plate 505 is slidably engaged with the arc-shaped protrusion 504 via the mounting groove 506 and connected to the support frame 503 by bolts. When the friction plate 505 experiences significant wear after a period of use, the bolts can be removed to slide the friction plate 505 along the arc-shaped protrusion 504 for disassembly. To replace the friction plate 505, simply slide it along the outer surface of the climbing ring 201 until the arc-shaped protrusion 504 engages with the mounting groove 506, and then secure the friction plate 505 with bolts. This makes replacing the friction plate 505 convenient and quick.
[0062] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in this embodiment, the lifting platform 301 is movably mounted on the base 101 and is connected to the base plate 501 via a linkage assembly. The base plate 501 is movably mounted on the base 101, and the linkage assembly converts the gravity on the lifting platform 301 into a force that drives the base plate 501 to rise. The linkage assembly includes a lifting rod 302 fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting platform 301. The lifting rod 302 is vertically mounted on the base 101. A receiving seat 304 is provided at the end of the lifting rod 302. A drive rod 303 is provided on the receiving seat 304. A second elastic element 305 is provided between the bottom of the receiving seat 304 and the base 101. The assembly also includes a push frame 401. A push plate 403 is provided at one end of the push frame 401, which abuts against the base plate 501. A sliding frame 402 is provided at the other end. The drive rod 303 is slidably locked in the sliding frame 402. A mounting column 104 is provided on the base 101. The middle section of the push frame 401 is hinged to the mounting column 104.
[0063] After the child is secured to the support plate 703, the child's own weight causes the lifting rod 302 to move downward and compress the second elastic element 305, which in turn causes the drive rod 303 to move downward. During the movement of the drive rod 303, it cooperates with the sliding frame 402 to drive the push frame 401 to rotate along the axis of the mounting column 104, so that the push plate 403 rises. During the rise of the push plate 403, the base plate 501 rises and compresses the first elastic element 502. Thus, the first elastic element 502 applies an upward thrust to the support frame 503 and the friction plate 505, thereby increasing the resistance encountered when the climbing ring 201 rotates. The increased resistance is proportional to the child's weight, which makes it convenient to adaptively adjust the exercise intensity according to children of different ages. It can also increase the exercise intensity for obese children, thus improving the applicability of the device. Furthermore, when not in use, the lifting rod 302 is driven to rise to the top by the second elastic element 305 to offset the weight of each part on the lifting platform 301, thereby making the base plate 501 in the lowest position, so that the replacement of the friction plate 505 is easier.
[0064] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, an annular track 102 is provided on the inner side of the base 101, and multiple sets of ball bearings 103 are embedded in the inner side of the annular track 102. An annular groove 204 is provided on the side of the climbing ring 201. The annular groove 204 is engaged with the annular track 102 and abuts against the ball bearings 103. The ball bearings 103 reduce the friction between the annular track 102 and the annular groove 204, preventing excessive friction that would prevent younger children from exercising. The exercise intensity is controlled solely by the child's own weight and the performance of the first elastic element 502, making it more convenient to control the exercise intensity. This also prevents wear and tear on the annular track 102 and the annular groove 204 after prolonged use, thus improving the lifespan of the device.
[0065] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a counter 601 is mounted on the base 101, a gear 602 is mounted on the input shaft of the counter 601, and a toothed ring 205 is mounted on the periphery of the climbing ring 201. The gear 602 meshes with the toothed ring 205. During exercise, the child drives the climbing ring 201 to rotate. As the climbing ring 201 rotates, the meshing of the toothed ring 205 and the gear 602 drives the input shaft of the counter 601 to rotate, thereby counting the distance the child drives the climbing ring 201 to rotate during exercise. This facilitates the development of exercise plans and the monitoring of the exercise process, improving the practicality of the device. Furthermore, by establishing specific goals and reward mechanisms, the child's interest in exercise can be enhanced.
[0066] Specific usage and beneficial effects of the present invention:
[0067] In use, the device secures the child to the support plate 703 via a chest strap 706, shoulder straps 707, and leg straps 705. The position of the support plate 703 is adjusted by controlling the extension and retraction of the first telescopic rod 702 and the second telescopic rod 704, allowing the child's limbs to reach the climbing protrusions 203. The child can then simulate rock climbing by manipulating the climbing protrusions 203 within the climbing ring 201. During climbing, the first elastic element 502 pushes the friction plate 505 upwards, applying resistance to the climbing ring 201 to simulate the force required in real rock climbing. This effectively exercises the child's limbs. Furthermore, the staggered arrangement of the climbing protrusions 203 trains the child's decision-making and reaction abilities. Throughout the exercise, the child's body is securely restrained, eliminating the risk of falling and enhancing the device's safety during use.
[0068] When in use, the child is secured to the support plate 703. The child's weight causes the lifting rod 302 to move down a certain distance. The receiving seat 304 compresses the second elastic element 305, causing the drive rod 303 to move down. During the movement, the drive rod 303, in cooperation with the sliding frame 402, drives the push frame 401 to rotate along the axis of the mounting column 104, thereby causing the push plate 403 to move up and lift the base plate 501. This compresses the second elastic element 305, increasing the friction between the friction plate 505 and the friction ring 202. This allows for adaptive adjustment of the climbing effort according to the child's weight, making the device suitable for children of all ages and increasing the exercise intensity for obese children without requiring manual adjustment of the climbing effort.
[0069] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of the present invention and its advantages. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
