[0002] With the improvement of people's living quality, more and more people participate in fitness exercises. Commonly used fitness equipment includes dumbbells and barbells. For higher-grade dumbbells or barbells, the weight of the counterweight blocks on the main shaft is adjusted by rotating the handle. Its disadvantages are as follows: complex structure, many accessories, difficult manufacturing, and high production cost; there are also some dumbbells or barbells without a main shaft, and their disadvantages are as follows: complex disassembly and assembly operations, large physical consumption, and inconvenient for quickly matching the medium body weight of the dumbbells or barbells required for exercise. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shaftless adjustable weight fitness equipment with a simple structure, low production cost, and capable of quickly disassembling and assembling to adjust the weight in a time-saving and labor-saving manner.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is solved as follows: A shaftless adjustable weight fitness equipment includes a handle and first counterweight blocks symmetrically fixed at both ends of the handle. A second counterweight block is clamped on the first counterweight block. A first locking groove is arranged at the lower part of one end face of the second counterweight block, and a locking hook capable of being matched and positioned with the first locking groove is arranged at the lower part of the other end face. A second locking groove is arranged at the upper part of the end face of the second counterweight block with the first locking groove, and a locking arm capable of being matched and positioned with the second locking groove is arranged at the other end face. A locking hole is arranged on the locking arm. An upper part of the second locking groove is provided with a first locking tongue elastically extending into the second locking groove and being matched with the locking hole on the locking arm to lock the locking arm. The lower part of the outer end face of the first counterweight block is provided with the first locking groove, and the upper part is provided with the second locking groove. An upper part of the second locking groove is provided with a first locking tongue elastically extending into the second locking groove and being matched with the locking hole on the locking arm to lock the locking arm. The second locking groove is an arc-shaped groove, and the locking arm is an arc-shaped body capable of being matched and clamped with the arc-shaped groove. After the locking hook of one second counterweight block extends into the first locking groove of the first counterweight block or another second counterweight block, the second counterweight block can be rotated so that the locking arm on the second counterweight block is clamped into the second locking groove of the first counterweight block or another second counterweight block. When the locking arm pushes the first locking tongue to move upward and the locking arm is completely clamped into the second locking groove, the first locking tongue is clamped into the locking hole of the locking arm.

[0005] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the first locking groove has a transverse groove, and a downward concave vertical groove is arranged inside the transverse groove. The locking hook has a transverse arm arranged at the lower part of the other end face of the second counterweight block and a second locking tongue extending downward at the outer end of the transverse arm. The outer diameter of the transverse groove is greater than or equal to the diameter of the second locking tongue.

[0006] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the second locking tongue is a spherical body, and the diameter of the spherical body is greater than the diameter of the cross arm.

[0007] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the first locking groove is a T-shaped groove, and a downward concave vertical groove with the same width as the "horizontal groove" of the T-shaped groove is arranged inside the T-shaped groove. The locking hook is a T-shaped body that matches the T-shaped groove and lies flat. When the "horizontal part" of the T-shaped body of one of the second counterweight blocks extends into the bottom of the horizontal groove of the T-shaped groove of the first counterweight block or another second counterweight block and drops to the bottom of the vertical groove, the "vertical part" of the T-shaped body is caught in the "vertical groove" of the T-shaped groove.

[0008] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, there are two or more even numbers of the second counterweight blocks.

[0009] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the upper and lower arc surfaces of the arc groove are arc surfaces formed with the midpoint of the outer end of the lower wall of the first locking groove as the center of the circle and the lengths from the midpoint of the outer end of the lower wall to the highest point of the upper wall and the lowest point of the lower wall of the second locking groove as the radii respectively. So that after the locking hook of the second counterweight block extends into the first locking groove of the first counterweight block or another second counterweight block, it rotates with the midpoint of the outer end of the lower wall of the first locking groove as the fulcrum and makes the locking arm of the second counterweight block extend into the second locking groove of the first counterweight block or another second counterweight block to lock, so as to realize the axial positioning of the second counterweight block.

[0010] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, upward first grooves are arranged on the inner upper walls of the second locking grooves of the first counterweight block and the second counterweight block. Corresponding to the first grooves, downward concave second grooves are arranged on the upper surfaces of the first counterweight block and the second counterweight block. A communication hole is arranged between the first groove and the second groove. The lower part of the first locking tongue extends into the second locking groove, the middle part is located in the first groove, the upper part passes through the communication hole and extends into the second groove and is provided with a hand-held part. A spring seat is arranged on the lower side of the first locking tongue in the first groove, and a return spring for driving the first locking tongue to extend downward is sleeved on the first locking tongue in the first groove above the spring seat.

[0011] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the second groove is a semi-circular groove or a strip-shaped groove, the hand-held part is a semi-circular ring, and gaps through which fingers can extend into the semi-circular ring are arranged on both sides of the semi-circular ring.

[0012] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, a positioning groove is provided on the end face of the second counterweight block with a locking hook, and a positioning protrusion that can be matched and positioned with the positioning groove is provided on the other end face. The positioning protrusion is a cylinder or a prism with arc-shaped surfaces on both the upper and lower sides, and the positioning groove is a groove that can be matched and positioned with the cylinder or the prism; a positioning protrusion that is matched and positioned with the positioning groove is provided on the outer end face of the first counterweight block, and the arc-shaped surface of the positioning protrusion is an arc-shaped surface formed with the center of the outer end of the lower wall of the first locking groove as the center of the circle and with the distances from the center to the highest point of the upper wall and the lowest point of the lower wall of the positioning protrusion as the radii respectively.

[0013] As a further optimization of the above technical solution, the middle part of the handle is an arc-shaped body that is convenient for holding by hand or evenly distributed anti-slip protrusions that are convenient for holding by hand.

[0014] The positive effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows: After the locking hook of a second counterweight block of the present invention is obliquely clamped into the first locking groove of the first counterweight block or another second counterweight block (see Figure 7 ), straighten this second counterweight block, and the locking arm of the second counterweight block can be directly clamped into the second locking groove of the first counterweight block or another second counterweight block to achieve automatic locking (the first locking tongue is a snap-lock structure, which is convenient for automatic locking), realizing the rapid assembly of the second counterweight block; for disassembly, lift the hand-held part of the first locking tongue, and the first locking tongue can be disengaged from the locking hole of the locking arm to unlock. Relying on the unstable center of gravity of the unlocked second counterweight block or applying a slight external force, the second counterweight block can be rotated, and then slightly lift the second counterweight block to make the locking hook disengage from the first locking groove, and then the second counterweight block can be removed, realizing the rapid disassembly of the second counterweight block. If there are multiple second counterweight blocks clamped outside this second counterweight block, unlock the innermost second counterweight block, and slightly lift the handle on this side to make the locking hook of this second counterweight block disengage from the first locking groove to disassemble multiple second counterweight blocks, which is time-saving, labor-saving, fast, and gives people a pleasant experience of adjusting the weight.

[0015] Since the present invention does not need to lift the second counterweight block to be disassembled and assembled when disassembling, assembling and adjusting the weight, it can quickly disassemble and assemble the second counterweight block within a small height, and after the locking hook of the second counterweight block can be inserted into the first locking groove, there is no need to lift the locking hook of the second counterweight block out of the first locking groove with force. Compared with the prior art, when disassembling and assembling, it is necessary to lift the second counterweight block relatively high, and a large amount of effort and time are saved for long-term alignment and adjustment, which is time-saving, labor-saving and fast.

[0016] The structure of the present invention is simple, with few accessories, the performance of the accessories is stable, it is not easy to be damaged, it has a long service life, it is easy to manufacture, the production cost is low, the overall price is low, and it is convenient for popularization and application.
