Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of treadmills, and in particular to a modular treadmill. Background Art

[0002] Electric treadmills are high-end equipment for gyms and families. They use a motor to drive the running belt to allow people to run or walk passively at different speeds. Since running and walking are formed passively, the appearance of the movement is almost the same as running or walking on the ground. However, from the perspective of human body force, running and walking on an electric treadmill saves a stretching action compared to ordinary running and walking. It is this point that makes everyone who walks and runs on an electric treadmill feel very relaxed and comfortable. It can make people run about 1 / 3 more distance than ordinary running, and the energy consumption is also more than ordinary walking and running.

[0003] At present, the frame and driving device of the treadmill are installed in a unified housing. When a fault occurs, the treadmill needs to be repaired as a whole. Or when the driving device needs to update the hardware, the treadmill needs to be disassembled as a whole. This makes maintenance difficult and the hardware system cannot be upgraded arbitrarily.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] Example embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, example embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be more comprehensive and complete and fully convey the concepts of the example embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0035] In addition, the accompanying drawings are only schematic illustrations of the present invention and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the figures represent the same or similar parts, and their repeated description will be omitted. Some of the block diagrams shown in the accompanying drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities. These functional entities can be implemented in software form, or implemented in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or implemented in different networks and / or processor devices and / or microcontroller devices.

[0036] In this exemplary embodiment, a modular treadmill is first provided. Figures 1 to 7 As shown in , it includes: a frame 100 and a driving device 200.

[0037] The frame 100 includes: a frame 110, a first roller 120, a second roller 130 and a treadmill 140; the frame 110 extends in a longitudinal direction between a first end and a second end, the first roller 120 is arranged at the first end of the frame 110, the second roller 130 is arranged at the second end of the frame 110, and the treadmill 140 forms a closed annular belt around the first roller 120 and the second roller 130.

[0038] Among them, the driving device 200 is assembled on the frame 100 in a detachable manner, and the driving device 200 includes: an electronic control module 220, a driving component 230, a transmission component 240 and a bracket 210; the electronic control module 220, the driving component 230 and the transmission component 240 are installed in the bracket 210, and the driving component 230 moves based on the control of the electronic control module 220. When the driving component 230 is actuated, the transmission component 240 can be driven to rotate.

[0039] Among them, the first roller 120 is provided with a driven component 121 matching the transmission assembly 240. When the driven component 121 is driven by the transmission assembly 240, the second roller 130 is driven to rotate around a rotation axis along the transverse direction, and drives the running belt 140 to rotate around the first roller 120 and the second roller 130.

[0040] Among them, the frame 110 is provided with a first connecting component 150, and the bracket 210 is provided with a second connecting component 250 matching the first connecting component 150. The first connecting component 150 and the second connecting component 250 are configured to enable the driving device 200 to be installed at the first end of the frame 110 and to enable the transmission component 240 to engage with the component to be driven 121.

[0041] It should be understood that the frame 100 and the driving device 200 are independent of each other. The frame 100 itself cannot drive the running belt 140 to rotate cyclically. The frame 100 needs to be installed with the driving device 200 and driven by the driving device 200 before the running belt 140 can rotate cyclically. The driving device 200 is a separate module and can be easily removed from the frame 100 by connecting a switch.

[0042] It should also be understood that when the driven component 121 is driven, the first roller 120 is driven to rotate around the rotation axis along the transverse direction, and drives the running belt 140 to circulate around the first roller 120 and the second roller 130 .

[0043] It should also be understood that the first roller 120 can be arranged at the front end of the frame 100 to cooperate with the placement of the driving device 200, thereby serving as a front roller, and the second roller 130 can be arranged at the rear end of the frame 100 as a rear roller. That is, the first end of the frame 110 is the front end of the frame 100, and the second end of the frame 110 is the rear end of the frame 100.

[0044] It should also be understood that the electric control module 220 can be a circuit board that controls the drive assembly 230. Generally, the treadmill can be updated and upgraded through software, but in many cases, it is not possible to update and upgrade only by upgrading the software, and the hardware must be updated before it can be upgraded. Therefore, the drive device 200 and the frame 100 of the treadmill are independent of each other, and only the drive device 200 needs to be replaced when the hardware is updated.

[0045] It should also be understood that there are many ways to cooperate between the driven component 121 and the transmission assembly 240. The present application uses the implementation method of the driving gear 241 and the driven gear for detailed description, but is not limited to this. It can also be a variety of other implementation methods such as the drive method of pulleys and belts.

[0046] It should also be understood that there are many ways to implement the first connection assembly 150 and the second connection assembly 250. This application uses the fastening clamp of the hook 151 and the ring 251 for detailed description, but is not limited to this. Other implementation methods such as screws and latches are also possible.

[0047] It should also be understood that a circular step cutting plane is provided at one end of the first roller 120 with a gear, which plays an anti-rotation and limiting role, so that the first roller 120 has only one degree of freedom to the right; the other end is designed as a circular shaft, and concentric waist holes are opened on the inside and outside of the frame 110 to facilitate the oblique installation of the first roller 120, and the concentric waist holes can limit radial movement, so that this end has only left and right axial movement, and the other end has only rightward freedom, so after the entire shaft is installed, there is only one degree of freedom to the right.

[0048] According to the above-mentioned modular treadmill, the driven component 121 through the first roller 120 is driven to rotate by the driving device 200 independent of the frame 100, and the frame 100 and the driving device 200 that are independent of each other are installed through the first connecting component 150 and the second connecting component 250. Then, when a failure occurs or the hardware system needs to be updated, the frame 100 and the driving device 200 can be directly disassembled and separated, making the maintenance and hardware update operations more convenient.

[0049] Below, reference Figures 1 to 7 The above-mentioned modular treadmill in this example embodiment is shown in more detail.

[0050] Optionally, refer to Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the first connection assembly 150 is provided with a hook 151, and the second connection assembly 250 is provided with a pull ring 251 and a clamping member 252. The hook 151 and the pull ring 251 can be engaged with each other and can be fixed by the clamping member 252. It should be understood that when the driving device 200 is installed, the pull ring 251 is hooked by the hook 151, and the connection between the hook 151 and the pull ring 251 is fixed by the clamping member 252.

[0051] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first connecting assembly 150 is provided with a mounting post 152, which is arranged on the outer side wall of the frame 110; the second connecting assembly 250 is provided with a mounting hole 253, which is arranged on the outer side wall of the bracket 210; the mounting post 152 can be snapped into the mounting hole 253. It should be understood that when the mounting hole 253 of the driving device 200 is mounted on the mounting post 152, the driving device 200 is rotated to lean against the first roller 120, and then the driving device 200 is installed below the frame 100 through the first connecting assembly 150 and the second connecting assembly 250.

[0052] Optionally, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mounting hole 253 is a V-shaped opening; a baffle is provided at the end of the mounting column 152. It should be understood that the mounting hole 253 is a V-shaped opening, and the mounting column 152 is a rotating shaft. When the V-shaped opening of the driving device 200 is mounted on the rotating shaft, after rotating toward the rear side of the frame 100 and hitting the limit, it slides along the parallel cut of the rotating shaft, and the driving device 200 moves along the V-shaped opening so that the rotating shaft enters the V-shaped opening to the bottom of the V-shaped opening and is concentric, and then the driving device 200 is rotated in the opposite direction until it cannot rotate, so that the pull ring 251 of the driving device 200 is hung on the pull hook 151 of the frame 100 and the clamp is fastened to complete the installation. After the driving device 200 is rotated and installed through the mounting column 152, the baffle is at least partially larger than the mounting hole 253 of the driving device 200, thereby preventing the driving device 200 from falling sideways.

[0053] Optionally, refer to Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the first roller 120 is provided with a concave ring for positioning the driving device 200, and the outer wall of the bracket 210 is provided with a groove 211 matching the concave ring, which is used to contact and position the transmission assembly 240 and the driven component 121. It should be understood that, taking the driven gear and the driving gear 241 as an example, the distance between the concave ring and the driven gear of the first roller 120 is the same as the distance between the groove 211 and the driving gear 241. Therefore, the driving gear 241 is positioned at the driven gear and meshes with each other after the driving device 200 is installed on the frame 100.

[0054] Optionally, refer to Figures 2 to 7As shown, the driven component 121 of the first roller 120 is a coaxial driven gear, and the transmission assembly 240 includes a driving gear 241, and the driven gear and the driving gear 241 can be meshed and connected with each other. It should be understood that after the driving device 200 is installed through the first connecting assembly 150 and the second connecting assembly 250, the driven gear and the driving gear 241 are meshed with each other. The driving device 200 drives the driven gear through the driving gear 241, so that the first roller 120 rotates and then drives the running belt 140 to rotate.

[0055] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the transmission assembly 240 further includes an oil return cup 242, which is connected to the bracket 210 and is provided with a receiving groove for receiving the driving gear 241. It should be understood that the oil return cup 242 is provided below the driving gear 241 and wraps the driving gear 241, thereby maintaining the driving gear 241 and extending the service life of the driving gear 241.

[0056] Optionally, a first support leg is further included, and the first support leg is connected to the bracket 210 of the driving device 200, or connected to the first end of the frame 110, for supporting the modular treadmill. It should be understood that the first support leg is arranged on the front side of the frame 100 to serve as a front support leg. It can be specifically arranged on the frame 110 or on the driving device 200. Together with the rear support leg, the modular treadmill is supported.

[0057] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 As shown, the second support leg 300 is also included. The second support leg 300 is connected to the second end of the frame 110 to support the modular treadmill. It should be understood that the second support leg 300 is arranged at the rear side of the frame 100 to serve as a rear support leg. Together with the front support leg, the modular treadmill is supported.

[0058] Optionally, the first support leg and the second support leg 300 are both provided with a rotating structure, so that the first support leg and the second support leg 300 can be rotated and switched between the supporting state and the storage state. It should be understood that the first support leg and the second support leg 300 have the same structure, but are arranged in opposite directions. The rotating structure makes it easier to store the first support leg.
