[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a further description of an embodiment of a foldable and retractable adjustable ab wheel.
[0028] A foldable and adjustable ab wheel includes a mounting body 1 and a first rotating wheel 2, the first rotating wheel 2 being mounted on the mounting body 1. It also includes a fixing mechanism mounted on the mounting body 1 for fixing components; two folding mechanisms mounted on the mounting body 1 for folding components; each folding mechanism includes a folding box 3 mounted on and fixedly connected to the mounting body 1; a folding frame 4 mounted on and rotatably connected to the folding box 3; a placement slot 5 mounted on the folding frame 4 for mounting components; and a rotating component 6 mounted on and rotatably connected to the placement slot 5.
[0029] refer to Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the folding mechanism further includes: a handle 7, which is disposed on the rotating member 6 and rotatably connected to the rotating member 6; and a second rotating wheel 8, which is disposed on the folding frame 4 and rotatably connected to the folding frame 4.
[0030] refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes: a mounting part disposed on the mounting body 1 and the folding frame 4 for component mounting; a first fixing part disposed on the mounting part for folding and fixing the folding frame 4; a rotating part disposed on the mounting part for component mounting; a telescopic part disposed on the rotating part for component telescopic; and a second fixing part disposed on the telescopic part for fixing the folding frame 4 during use.
[0031] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the mounting part includes: two mounting slots 9, which are disposed on the folding frame 4 for mounting components; and two mounting posts 10, which are disposed on the mounting body 1 and fixedly connected to the mounting body 1.
[0032] refer to Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the first fixing part includes: a first spring 11, which is disposed on the mounting post 10 and fixedly connected to the mounting post 10; two connecting posts 12, which are disposed on the first spring 11 and fixedly connected to the first spring 11; and two fixing plates 13, which are disposed on the connecting posts 12 and rotatably connected to the connecting posts 12.
[0033] With this setup, during operation, the handle 7 is first folded and placed in the placement slot 5 for easy placement, reducing the space required for the device and facilitating better storage. Then, the fixing plate 13 is rotated to a position that does not obstruct the placement of the folding frame 4. The folding frame 4 is then rotated to fold into the folding box 3 for placement. After that, the fixing plate 13 is manually rotated and pulled again to align with the folding frame 4. When the fixing plate 13 is pulled, the first spring 11 is pulled through the connecting column 12. Then, the fixing plate 13 is rotated to a position that contacts the folding frame 4. The rebound of the first spring 11 allows the fixing plate 13 to stably fix the folding frame 4, preventing the folding frame 4 from unfolding.
[0034] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the rotating part includes: two rotating shafts 14, which are disposed within and rotatably connected to the mounting groove 9; and two rotating boxes 15, which are disposed on and fixedly connected to the rotating shafts 14. The low-friction design of the rotating shafts 14 enhances the smooth rotation effect, reduces operating force, and extends the component life. The rotating boxes 15 serve as protective shells to prevent dust intrusion and improve durability. In effect, this component allows the fixing mechanism to be retracted into the mounting groove, optimizing space utilization.
[0035] refer to Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the telescopic part includes: a plurality of second springs 16, wherein the plurality of second springs 16 are disposed on the rotating box 15 and fixedly connected to the rotating box 15; and two fixing members 17, wherein the two fixing members 17 are disposed on the second springs 16 and fixedly connected to the second springs 16.
[0036] refer to Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the second fixing part includes: a plurality of first stabilizing members 18, wherein the plurality of first stabilizing members 18 are disposed on the fixing member 17 and fixedly connected to the fixing member 17; and a plurality of second stabilizing members 19, wherein the plurality of second stabilizing members 19 are disposed on the fixing member 17 and fixedly connected to the fixing member 17.
[0037] With this configuration, when the folding frame 4 is to be secured or released, pulling the fixing members 17 on both sides stretches the second spring 16, thus disengaging the first stabilizer 18 and the second stabilizer 19. Then, releasing the fixing members 17 allows the second spring 16 to return, causing the fixing members 17 to re-enter the rotating box 15. Finally, rotating the rotating box 15 moves it into the mounting slot 9 for placement of the second fixing part. The first spring 11 and the second spring 16 are both made of high-elasticity stainless steel. This material has excellent elastic recovery capabilities and is not prone to plastic deformation during long-term use, maintaining stable elastic performance. It provides reliable force for the fixing and extension of the folding frame. The elastic design of the first spring 11 complements the adaptive fixing effect—the first spring 11 can automatically adjust the clamping force according to the thickness of the folding frame, ensuring effective fixing under different conditions and avoiding problems of being too tight or too loose. The rotation of the fixing plate allows users to operate with one hand, improving convenience. In terms of effect, this part provides continuous elasticity after folding, preventing vibration during transportation from causing unfolding and enhancing safety. It ensures that the fixing mechanism and folding mechanism can work normally and stably. At the same time, the material has high strength and good corrosion resistance. The first stabilizer 18 and the second stabilizer 1 are both made of high-strength engineering plastic. This material has the characteristics of being lightweight and high-strength. While ensuring the structural strength of the stabilizer, it effectively reduces the weight of the entire device, making it convenient for users to handle and use.
[0038] This device, with its folding mechanism, significantly reduces the storage space required for the ab wheel, allowing users to easily fold it up and store it when not in use, saving home space and meeting modern people's needs for convenience and practicality in fitness equipment. The device also features a fixing mechanism that securely holds the folded components in place, preventing accidental unfolding during storage or transport, effectively ensuring safety and stability during use. Furthermore, when the device is unfolded for use, it also enhances stability and prevents it from folding itself.
[0039] Working principle: When this device is folded, pull the fixing parts 17 on both sides to stretch the second spring 16, thus disengaging the first stabilizer 18 and the second stabilizer 19. Then, release the fixing parts 17 to allow the second spring 16 to rebound, allowing the fixing parts 17 to re-enter the rotating box 15. Then, rotate the rotating box 15 to enter the mounting slot 9 for placing the second fixing part. Then, fold the handle 7 and place it in the placement slot 5. Then, rotate the fixing plate 13 to a position that does not obstruct the placement of the folding frame 4. Then, rotate the folding frame 4 to fold it into the folding box 3 for placement. Then, manually rotate and pull the fixing plate 13 again to make it flush with the folding frame 4. When pulling the fixing plate 13, the first spring 11 is pulled through the connecting column 12. Then, rotate the fixing plate 13 to a position that contacts the folding frame 4. The rebound of the first spring 11 allows the fixing plate 13 to stably fix the folding frame 4, preventing the folding frame 4 from unfolding.
[0040] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
