Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of fitness equipment, and particularly relates to a Tai Chi training fitness equipment. Background Art

[0002] Tai Chi is a traditional martial arts fitness method in our country. It has unique and profound theories and routines, aiming to achieve the highest state of combining quietness for physical cultivation, cultivation, enlightenment, and health preservation. Its fitness effect has been recognized worldwide and has been loved by more and more people in recent years.

[0003] In order to improve the training efficiency of Tai Chi, there have been many auxiliary training devices. Among them, the suspended Tai Chi ball is more commonly used in actual training, which also proves its more prominent auxiliary training value.

[0004] However, the existing suspended Tai Chi ball at least has the following deficiencies, which hinder its further popularization and application. First, since the weight of the suspended Tai Chi ball is generally very large (about 60 catties), it is especially difficult to find a suitable hanging point outdoors, and it is very difficult to install and carry. Second, because it needs to be hung high and is in close contact with the trainer during use, if it falls during continuous swinging, the consequences will be very serious and the safety is poor. Third, since the size and weight of the Tai Chi ball are fixed, its adaptability to practitioners with different physiques and different skill levels is not good.

[0005] Therefore, a Tai Chi training fitness equipment is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention includes providing a Tai Chi training fitness equipment with higher training safety, easier outdoor installation, adjustable resistance, and more constant training resistance.

[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention has the following technical solutions:

[0031] Preferably, the pulling rope is a steel wire rope.

[0032] Preferably, a stop block is connected to the lower surface of the lower plate, and the stop block is used to prevent the double-wheel slider from colliding with the pulley connected in the slider chute.

[0033] Due to the above technical solutions, the advantages of the present invention are as follows:

[0034] 1. The tai chi training and fitness apparatus provided by the present invention does not require the use of a tai chi ball with a large mass, and can also achieve the training intensity of the traditional suspended tai chi ball with a large mass.

[0035] 2. The heavy object included in the tai chi training and fitness apparatus provided by the present invention is far from the trainer and is at a low position, so the training process is safer.

[0050] It should be noted that, without conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0051] Now, the detailed implementation manners are described as follows:

[0052] An embodiment of a Tai Chi training fitness equipment 100 provided by the present invention is shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and includes a Tai Chi ball 5. A moving connecting rod 30 is connected to the Tai Chi ball 5. The end of the moving connecting rod 30 far from the Tai Chi ball 5 is connected to a pulling rope 2 and a U-shaped groove rod 20. The front end of the U-shaped groove rod 20 is connected to a pipe clamp 10. Convex shaft chutes 24 with overlapping projections are provided on the inner surfaces of the upper plate 22 and the lower plate 23 of the U-shaped groove rod 20. Protective blocks 6 are bonded to the outer surfaces of the rear ends of the upper plate 22 and the lower plate 23. A slider chute 231 is provided at the front part of the lower plate 23. A stop block 50 and an elastic rope 7 are connected to the lower surface of the lower plate 23. The lower end of the elastic rope 7 is connected to a fixing rope 4.

[0053] A double-wheel slider 40 is slidably connected in the slider chute 231, and a pulley 8 located behind the stop block 50 is rotatably connected. See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 。

[0054] The moving connecting rod 30 includes a sliding swing rod 31 and a rotating shaft 32. The sliding swing rod 31 is a rectangular rod with a groove 313 provided on the lower surface at one end, and one convex shaft 311 is connected to each of the two opposite surfaces in the middle. The front arc plate 33 and the rear arc plate 34 are connected in parallel at intervals on the front part of the bottom surface of the groove 313. The central axes of the convex shafts 311 coincide and are perpendicular to the bottom surface of the groove 313. The convex shaft 311 is slidably inserted into the convex shaft chute 24. One end of the rotating shaft 32 is rotatably inserted into the end of the sliding swing rod 31 away from the groove 313, and the other end is perpendicularly bonded to the outer surface of the Taiji ball 5. See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 。

[0055] The double-wheel slider 40 includes two pulleys 8 and a slider 41 with a cross-sectional shape of "I". The two pulleys 8 are connected close to each other on the upper surface of the slider 41 through a shaft 9, and the central connection line of the two pulleys 8 is parallel to the cross-section of the slider 41. The two pulleys 8 are located between the front arc plate 33 and the rear arc plate 34, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the two pulleys 8 are close to the front arc plate 33 and the rear arc plate 34. The slider 41 is slidably connected to the slider chute 231 through the chutes 411 on both sides of it. See Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 。

[0056] The pipe clamp 10 includes a first arc plate 11, a second arc plate 12 hinged behind the first arc plate 11, an anti-slip rubber pad 15, a binding rope 13, and a tightener 14 connecting the binding rope 13. A groove rod hinge seat 111 is welded to the rear of the first arc plate 11. The groove rod hinge seat 111 is connected to the front end of the U-shaped groove rod 20 through a shaft 9. A pulley connecting seat 112 is welded to the lower surface of the groove rod hinge seat 111. The pulley connecting seat 112 is connected to a pulley 8 through a shaft 9. The binding rope 13 is connected between the first arc plate 11 and the second arc plate 12. The anti-slip rubber pad 15 is bonded to the inner surfaces of the first arc plate 11 and the second arc plate 12. See Figure 1 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 。

[0057] The other end of the pull rope 2 passes through between the pulleys 8 of the double-wheel slider 40, bypasses the pulley 8 connected to the U-shaped groove rod 20 and the pipe clamp 10, and is connected to the heavy object 3 through a spring buckle 70.

[0058] In this embodiment, the Taiji ball 5 is a rubber ball with a hardness of 50 degrees, a wall thickness of 2 mm, and a ball diameter of 200 mm; the heavy object 3 is a water-filled bottle; the pulling rope 2 is a steel wire rope; the protective block 6 is made of polyethylene plastic foam; and the fixing rope 4 is used to tie and connect a vertical rod-shaped fixture such as a tree trunk 1 or a street lamp post.

[0059] When installing the present invention, first fixedly connect it to the tree trunk 1 through the pipe clamp 10, keeping the height of the Taiji ball 5 basically level with the chest of the trainer. Then, hang the heavy object 3 at the lower end of the pulling rope 2 (at this time, the upper end of the pulling rope 2 pulls the lower convex rope joint 312 connected to the pulling rope 2 towards the pulley 8 in the sliding block chute 231, so that the moving connecting rod 30 and the Taiji ball 5 move backward). Finally, tie the fixing rope 4 tightly to the lower part of the tree trunk, making the elastic rope 7 in a taut state. See Figure 1 、 Figure 2 。

[0060] When using the present invention, the trainer stands in front of the Taiji ball 5 and can practice by applying the pushing hand movement skills of Taijiquan to exert force on the Taiji ball 5 (reference can be made to the usage of the high-hanging Taiji ball in the prior art). See Figure 1 。

[0061] In addition, when applying the present invention, shoulder training can be mainly carried out by lifting the Taiji ball 5, waist and abdomen strength training can be mainly carried out by pushing the Taiji ball 5 with the hand and rotating the body at the same time, and boxing fitness and other exercise items can be carried out by using the Taiji ball 5 as a boxing training target.

[0062] The principle of the Taiji ball 5 provided by the present invention to generate forward push and lateral movement resistance:

[0063] When the Taiji ball 5 is pushed forward by a thrust, the lower convex rope joint 312 at the front end of the moving connecting rod 30 pulls the pulling rope 2, and the heavy object 3 moves upward. When the thrust acting on the Taiji ball 5 is released or less than the gravity of the heavy object 3, the pulling rope 2 pulls the moving connecting rod 30 towards the trainer, and at the same time the Taiji ball 5 approaches the trainer. During this process, the heavy object 3 provides forward push resistance for the Taiji ball 5 through the pulling rope 2.

[0064] When the Taiji ball 5 is laterally pushed and laterally moves, the moving connecting rod 30 rotates around its convex shaft 311, and the front end of the moving connecting rod 30 swings away from the U-shaped groove rod 20. Since the rear arc plate 34 fixedly connected to the lower part of the front of the moving connecting rod 30 prevents the double-wheel slider 40 from moving backward, when the front end of the moving connecting rod 30 swings away from the U-shaped groove rod 20, the pulling rope 2 is pulled and the heavy object 3 is lifted, so that the heavy object 3 provides resistance to the lateral thrust received by the Taiji ball 5.

[0065] When the Taiji ball 5 is simultaneously pushed forward and laterally and moves forward and laterally, the lower convex rope joint 312 moves forward and away from the U-shaped groove rod 20 at the same time. The lower convex rope joint 312 pulls the pull rope 2, and the heavy object 3 moves upward. Thus, the heavy object 3 simultaneously provides resistance to the forward thrust and lateral thrust received by the Taiji ball 5.

[0066] The above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, rather than limitations on the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any obvious changes or modifications derived from the technical solutions of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
