[0002] Dumbbells are a type of fitness equipment used to increase muscle strength and endurance. They can be divided into two categories: fixed-weight dumbbells and adjustable-weight dumbbells. Fixed-weight dumbbells have a fixed weight and are usually made of a metal rod and one or two weight plates. Adjustable-weight dumbbells allow users to adjust the weight according to their needs, usually by adding or removing weight plates. Dumbbells are usually made of cast iron, rubber or other durable materials to ensure their weight characteristics and durability.

[0003] In the early days, people would go to professional gyms for fitness. However, with the increasing popularity of fitness activities, many people began to choose to do fitness exercises in their living rooms or balconies. However, most living rooms or balconies are paved with tiles or floors. When using dumbbells, it is easy for the dumbbells to hit the floor tiles, floors, and human bodies. In addition, in high-rise building environments, the sound produced by the dumbbells hitting the ground may also disturb the residents on the lower floors.

[0004] The following prior art was retrieved: a training filling body of CN218740036U, which discloses a dumbbell comprising a main body, two spacers and a filler. The main body is divided by two left and right spacers into two end fillers that are not connected to each other and a closed space portion in the middle. The closed space portion and the filling portions at both ends are separated by a spacer respectively. The closed space portion is the grip of the dumbbell, and the filling portion filled with a filler comprising at least filling particles is the two ends of the dumbbell and a load block.

[0049] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that these descriptions are only illustrative and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

"First" and "second" are only for the purpose of making the description easier to understand, without any other directional meaning, and cannot be used as a limitation on the present invention.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an inflatable flexible dumbbell, including a hard grip portion 1 in the middle and a first counterweight portion 2 and a second counterweight portion 3 on both sides.

[0053] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the first weight part 2 includes a first elastic bladder 20 having a first air cavity Q1 and a filler in the first air cavity Q1. The second weight part 3 includes a second elastic bladder 30 having a second air cavity Q2 and a filler in the second air cavity Q2.

[0054] Furthermore, if Figure 1-4 As shown, the grip 1 comprises a hard tubular body 10 having a third air cavity Q3 and a filler in the third air cavity Q3. The hard tubular body 10, the first elastic capsule 20 and the second elastic capsule 30 are made of plastic.

[0055] The first end of the hard tubular body 10 borders the inner end of the first elastic sac 20, and the second end of the hard tubular body 10 borders the inner end of the second elastic sac 30. The first air cavity Q1, the second air cavity Q2, and the third air cavity Q3 are connected, and the fillers can flow in the three cavities.

[0056] Although the outer walls of these cavities are made of lightweight plastic, the weight of the plastic alone is difficult to achieve the weighting effect required by traditional dumbbells. To this end, this embodiment achieves a perfect combination of soft and hard materials and ensures a reasonable weighting of the dumbbells by adding a plastic shell with a high internal density filler, so that users can feel moderate resistance during exercise, effectively improving the training effect. Preferably, the filler is at least one of sand, iron sand, and steel balls.

[0057] In this embodiment, the three air cavities are interconnected, which means that only one opening can be opened on the surface of the dumbbell, and the filler can be poured from only one opening. This design not only maximizes the integrity and airtightness of the peripheral wall, but also further enhances the structural strength of the dumbbell, ensuring its stability and durability in long-term use. At the same time, this integrated filling method also greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of production, reduces manufacturing costs, and enables more users to enjoy the fitness fun brought by this innovative product at a more affordable price.

[0058] The grip 1 also adopts a design of a plastic shell with an air cavity and a filler inside, which can avoid the problem of the grip 1 being bent and deformed due to being light in the middle and heavy at both ends, thereby increasing the service life of the dumbbell.

[0059] More importantly, the elastic capsule and the gas contained in the air cavity allow the two weight parts of the dumbbell to maintain sufficient weight while also having excellent elasticity. This design not only avoids the risk of the dumbbell accidentally falling and injuring people during use, but also effectively prevents the dumbbell from scratching hard surfaces such as the floor, thereby improving the safety of use and environmental protection.

[0060] Furthermore, if Figure 3-4 As shown, a first separation and combination membrane 4 having a first through hole K1 is provided between the hard tubular body 10 and the first elastic capsule 20, and the first separation and combination membrane 4 separates the first air cavity Q1 from the third air cavity Q3. A second separation and combination membrane 5 having a second through hole K2 is provided between the hard tubular body 10 and the second elastic capsule 30, and the second separation and combination membrane 5 separates the second air cavity Q2 from the third air cavity Q3. The apertures of the first through hole K1 and the second through hole K2 are sufficient for filling to pass through.

[0061] In this embodiment, the hard tubular body 10, the first elastic capsule 20 and the second elastic capsule 30 are rotationally molded integral parts. A base film is provided between the hard tubular body 10 and the elastic capsule, and the portion of the hard tubular body 10 bordering the base film and the portion of the elastic capsule bordering the base film are melted and integrated with the base film to form a separation and bonding membrane.

[0062] A method for making the inflatable flexible dumbbell provided in this embodiment comprises the following steps:

[0063] Step S1: Add a first plastic raw material into the first mold cavity of the rotational molding mold and seal the junction between the first mold cavity and the second mold cavity with a first base film; add a second plastic raw material into the second mold cavity of the rotational molding mold and seal the junction between the second mold cavity and the third mold cavity with a second base film; add the first plastic raw material into the third mold cavity of the rotational molding mold.

[0064] Step S2: Turn on the rotational molding equipment, the rotational molding mold continuously rotates and heats the mold cavity, and the plastic raw material in the mold cavity is gradually and evenly coated, melted and adhered to the inner wall of the mold cavity and the surface of the base film under the action of gravity and heat energy. The first plastic raw material in the first mold cavity melts into the first base film, the second plastic raw material in the second mold cavity melts into the first base film and the second base film; the first plastic raw material in the third mold cavity melts into the second base film.

[0065] Step S3: Cooling and shaping to form a molded body having a first elastic sac 20, a hard tubular body 10, and a second elastic sac 30; the first base film is respectively welded with the first plastic raw material and the second plastic raw material on both sides to form a first separating and combining membrane 4, and the first elastic sac 20 and the hard tubular body 10 are both integrally connected to the first separating and combining membrane 4; the first plastic raw material and the second plastic raw material are respectively welded with the second base film on both sides to form a second separating and combining membrane 5, and the second elastic sac 30 and the hard tubular body 10 are both integrally connected to the second separating and combining membrane 5.

[0066] Step S4: Open the mold and take out the molded body having the hard tubular body 10, the first elastic bladder body 20 and the second elastic bladder body 30 from the mold.

[0067] Step S5: Place the molded body on a tooling, use a puncture device to form an injection hole on the first elastic bladder 20 or the second elastic bladder 30, and inflate the molded body to a specified size in the tooling to form air cavities in the hard tubular body 10, the first elastic bladder 20 and the second elastic bladder 30 respectively.

[0068] Step S6: using a puncture device to continuously pass through the inner cavities of the hard tubular body 10, the first elastic bladder 20 and the second elastic bladder 30 through the injection hole to puncture the first separation and combination membrane 4 and the second separation and combination membrane 5 to form the first through hole K1 and the second through hole K2.

[0069] Step S7: Pour the filler into the first air cavity Q1, the second air cavity Q2, and the third air cavity Q3 through the injection hole, and then insert the inflation valve core G into the injection hole to close the injection hole. The first air cavity Q1, the second air cavity Q2, and the third air cavity Q3 have air gaps so that the fillers in the three cavities can flow to each other.

[0070] In this embodiment, the puncture device forms injection holes on a straight line on the first elastic bladder 20 and the second elastic bladder 30, thereby achieving double-end injection and improving production efficiency. In addition, an inflation valve core G is formed at both ends of the dumbbell.

[0071] Preferably, the hard tubular body 10, the first elastic capsule 20, the second elastic capsule 30, the first separation and combination membrane 4, and the second separation and combination membrane 5 are all made of PVC material. The first plastic raw material and the second plastic raw material are both paste resins. The first plastic raw material is low-density PVC, and the second plastic raw material is high-density PVC.

[0072] All parts are made of PVC material, which means that during the rotational molding process, each component can reach an ideal melting state under almost the same temperature conditions, ensuring excellent welding effect between the parts.

[0073] In terms of structure, since all components are made of the same material, their thermal expansion coefficients and thermal contraction rates are similar, so that after cooling and solidification, they can form a product with strong integrity and stable structure. In particular, the first separation and combination membrane 4 and the second separation and combination membrane 5 are the key parts connecting the hard tubular body 10 and the elastic capsule body. They melt the materials of the components on both sides onto the same base membrane, so that the three are combined into one to achieve perfect welding, effectively avoiding molding defects caused by material differences, ensuring good welding, and further improving the strength of the junction between the hard tubular body 10 and the elastic capsule body. Therefore, during long-term use, these junctions are not prone to molding defects such as cracking and falling off, thereby greatly extending the service life of the product.

[0074] Structurally, if Figure 1-4 As shown, the hard tubular body 10 includes a straight tubular small diameter section 11 in the middle and a first diameter expansion section 12 and a second diameter expansion section 13 on both sides. The first diameter expansion section 12 wraps the inner edge of the first elastic capsule 20, and the first diameter expansion section 12 and the first elastic capsule 20 are combined through the first separation and combination membrane 4. The second diameter expansion section 13 wraps the inner edge of the second elastic capsule 30, and the second diameter expansion section 13 and the second elastic capsule 30 are combined through the second separation and combination membrane 5. The first diameter expansion section 12 and the second diameter expansion section 13 support the elastic capsule to improve the connection strength between the two.

[0075] Further, the first diameter expansion section 12 is a first horn section. The second diameter expansion section 13 is a second horn section. The first elastic capsule 20 is a first spherical body, and the second elastic capsule 30 is a second spherical body. The outer circumference of the first horn section and the outer circumference of the first spherical body and the outer circumference of the second horn section and the outer circumference of the second spherical body are smoothly transitioned.

[0076] The first diameter-expanding section 12 and the second diameter-expanding section 13 are ingeniously designed as horn sections, whose shapes gradually expand and then seamlessly connect with the spherical elastic bladder. This not only achieves a smooth transition of the pipe diameter but also enables a seamless and smooth transition of the outer peripheral surfaces of different components. This design optimizes the stress distribution functionally, reduces potential stress concentration points caused by sudden shape changes, and also brings aesthetic beauty and neatness to the structure. The smooth and continuous curved lines endow the entire device with a streamlined and elegant appearance, enhancing the visual aesthetic feeling. The smooth transition design makes the touch at each joint delicate, without obvious protrusions or depressions, avoiding scratches or abrasions that may be caused to personnel or objects during use, and also greatly facilitating daily cleaning and maintenance work because it is not easy to accumulate dust, dirt, or residues.

[0077] Furthermore, in the design details of the first horn section and the second horn section, this embodiment also preferably introduces key dimensional parameters - depth H and radius R. The ingenious proportional relationship between these two parameters not only concerns the beauty and smoothness of the structure but also is a direct manifestation of the optimization of the use strength and performance.

[0078] Specifically, the depth of the first horn section or the second horn section is precisely set to H, and the radius of the first spherical body or the second spherical body connected thereto is R. The ideal proportional range between depth H and radius R is: 0.2R < H < 0.8R. The setting of this proportional range aims to balance the structural strength and aesthetics, ensuring the best visual effect and user experience on the premise of meeting the use strength.

[0079] When the depth H is within this proportional range, the joint between the horn section and the spherical body can form a transition surface that is neither too steep nor too gentle. Such a design can not only effectively disperse stress, reduce the stress concentration phenomenon caused by sudden shape changes, thereby improving the fatigue resistance and service life of the entire structure, but also ensure the smooth flow of fluid in the pipeline system, reducing energy consumption and noise.
