[0018] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the scope of the application. Similarly, the following embodiments are only some, not all, embodiments of the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0019] This application describes a treadmill that can be used by a user to achieve the purpose of exercise. Furthermore, the treadmill can use indicator lights to display colors to represent the transmission speed of the running belt, allowing the user to know their exercise speed based on the color, increasing enjoyment. Additionally, the color can attract the user's attention, reduce the user's resistance to exercise, and strengthen the user's determination to continue exercising.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 These are schematic diagrams of the treadmill structure in some embodiments. Figure 2 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of a treadmill in some embodiments. The treadmill 100 may include a frame 10, a running belt 20 mounted on the frame 10, a mounting bracket 30 mounted along a first direction at one end of the frame 10, a control panel 40 disposed on the mounting bracket 30, handrails 50 disposed on the mounting bracket 30, and indicator lights 80 mounted on the frame 10 and / or the handrails 50 (see...). Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 (This is a control circuit diagram of a treadmill in some embodiments). The frame 10 can serve as the main structure of the treadmill 100, supporting structures such as the frame 10, running belt 20, mounting bracket 30, control panel 40, handrails 50, and indicator lights 80, etc., and may also include others, which will not be elaborated here. The running belt 20 can be used to carry the user and can move in the first direction in coordination with the user, thereby enabling the user to exercise. The mounting bracket 30 can be used to install structures that assist the user's movement, such as the control panel 40, handrails 50, etc. The indicator lights 80 can emit colored lights to match the transmission speed of the running belt 20. Thus, the indicator lights 80 can represent the transmission speed of the running belt 20 through color display, allowing the user to know their exercise speed by color, increasing interest, and also attracting the user's attention through color, reducing the user's resistance to exercise, and strengthening the user's determination to continue exercising.

[0021] Understandably, the frame 10 can also be equipped with a motor, rollers, bearings, and other structures to mount the running belt 20 and enable the running belt 20 to move. The specific treadmill 100 can be set and adjusted by referring to the records in the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0022] In some embodiments, the frame 10 may include side supports 11 located on both sides of the treadmill belt 20 along a second direction. The side supports 11 facilitate the mounting of the treadmill belt 20 and may also mount structures associated with the treadmill belt 20. Additionally, the side supports 11 may limit the axial movement of the treadmill belt 20 on both sides. Furthermore, the side supports 11 may also be stepped on by the user, providing support for short breaks. In some embodiments, the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0023] In some embodiments, the frame 10 may have a light-emitting surface to correspond to the indicator light 80, thereby allowing the indicator light 80 to be installed in the frame 10, for example, the side support 11, and to emit light through the light-emitting surface for the user to observe.

[0024] In some embodiments, the frame 10 may include a first light-transmitting plate 13 disposed on a side support 11 to correspond to an indicator light 80, thereby enabling the indicator light 80 to be mounted in the frame 10, for example, the side support 11, and to emit light through the first light-transmitting plate 13. In some embodiments, the light-emitting surface may be disposed on the first light-transmitting plate 13.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a partial structural diagram of the treadmill in some embodiments. The first light-transmitting plate 13 may have a diffused light texture on its light-emitting surface, for example. The diffused light texture allows the light emitted by the indicator light 80 to be scattered, increasing the probability that the user can observe the indicator light 80. Additionally, it can reduce the light intensity emitted by the indicator light 80, making the light soft and not glaring.

[0026] In some embodiments, the indicator light 80 may include a first indicator light 12 mounted between the side support 11 and the first light-transmitting plate 13. The first indicator light 12 may emit light through the light-emitting surface of the first light-transmitting plate 13, for example.

[0027] In some embodiments, the indicator light 80 may include a third indicator light 14 mounted between the side support 11 and the first light-transmitting plate 13. The third indicator light 14 may emit light through the light-emitting surface of the first light-transmitting plate 13, for example.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The treadmill belt 20 is capable of transmission to accommodate the user's movement in a first direction. The treadmill belt 20 can achieve transmission under the drive of a power source such as a motor, and in some embodiments, the control panel 40 controls the power source such as the motor to provide power to the treadmill belt 20, thereby controlling the transmission speed of the treadmill belt 20.

[0029] The control panel 40 may be a display screen, buttons, etc. Of course, it can also be set and adjusted according to the needs of those skilled in the art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The handrail 50 can be mounted on the mounting bracket 30 and may include a left handrail and / or a right handrail. Alternatively, there may be only one handrail, positioned in front of the user when exercising on the treadmill belt 20.

[0031] In some embodiments, the handrail 50 may include a handrail body 51 mounted on the mounting bracket 30. The handrail body 51 can be held by a user to stabilize the user's body or speed, effectively ensuring user safety.

[0032] In some embodiments, the armrest 50 may have a light-emitting surface to correspond to the indicator light 80, thereby allowing the indicator light 80 to be installed in the armrest 50, for example, the armrest body 51, and to emit light through the light-emitting surface for the user to observe.

[0033] In some embodiments, the handrail 50 may include a second light-transmitting plate 53 disposed on the handrail body 51 to correspond to the indicator light 80, thereby enabling the indicator light 80 to be installed in the handrail 50, such as the handrail body 51, and to emit light through the second light-transmitting plate 53. In some embodiments, the light-emitting surface may be disposed on the second light-transmitting plate 53.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second light-transmitting plate 53 may have a diffused light texture on its light-emitting surface. The diffused light texture can scatter the light emitted by the indicator light 80, which can increase the probability that the user can observe the indicator light 80. In addition, it can also reduce the light intensity of the light emitted by the indicator light 80, making the light soft and not dazzling.

[0035] In some embodiments, the indicator light 80 may include a second indicator light 52 mounted between the armrest body 51 and the second light-transmitting plate 53. The second indicator light 52 may emit light through the light-emitting surface of the second light-transmitting plate 53, for example.

[0036] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 4This is a control circuit diagram of a treadmill in some embodiments. The treadmill 100 may include a sensor 60 and a controller 70. The sensor 60 can be used to detect the transmission speed of the running belt 20 along a first direction and generate a detection signal. The controller 70 may be electrically connected to the sensor 60 and can be used to acquire the detection signal. Furthermore, the controller 70 may be electrically connected to indicator lights 80 to control the color of the indicator lights 80, such as a first indicator light 12, a second indicator light 52, and a third indicator light 14, based on the detection signal to match the transmission speed.

[0037] In some embodiments, sensor 60 may be a speed sensor, which may be configured based on the needs of those skilled in the art.

[0038] In some embodiments, the controller 70 may be a processor or a device having a processor. In some embodiments, the controller 70 may also be a microcontroller, or of course, any device or circuit with logic processing and calculation capabilities known to those skilled in the art, which will not be elaborated further.

[0039] In some embodiments, the indicator lights 80, such as the first indicator light 12, the second indicator light 52, and the third indicator light 14, may be LED indicator lights. In some embodiments, the indicator lights 80, such as the first indicator light 12, the second indicator light 52, and the third indicator light 14, may be light strips, such as LED light strips.

[0040] In some embodiments, indicator lights 80 on the rack 10, such as the first indicator light 12 and / or the third indicator light 14, may be located on both sides of the running belt 20 along a second direction to provide a noticeable reminder to the user.

[0041] In some embodiments, a light-emitting surface that cooperates with the indicator light 80, such as the second indicator light 12, may be provided above the frame 10. The light-emitting surface being above the frame 10 makes it easier for the user to observe, thereby increasing the probability that the user can obtain the light of the indicator light 80, such as the second indicator light 12.

[0042] In some embodiments, the armrest 50 is located above the frame 10. The armrest 50 has a light-emitting surface on one or both sides in a second direction that cooperates with an indicator light 80, such as a second indicator light 12, to increase the probability that the user receives the light from the indicator light 80, such as the second indicator light 12. That is, the armrest 50 may have a left armrest and / or a right armrest to accommodate the indicator light 80, such as the second indicator light 12.

[0043] In some embodiments, the armrest 50 is located above the frame 10, and a light-emitting surface that cooperates with the indicator light 80, such as the second indicator light 12, is provided above the armrest 50. The light-emitting surface being above the armrest 50 makes it easier for the user to observe, thereby increasing the probability that the user will receive the light of the indicator light 80, such as the second indicator light 12. Furthermore, when the frame 10 is provided with a light-emitting surface that cooperates with the indicator light 80, such as the first indicator light 12 and / or the third indicator light 14, the light-emitting surface of the frame 10 is larger than the light-emitting surface of the armrest 50, thereby allowing the user to be alerted as much as possible through the indicator light 80, such as the first indicator light 12 and / or the third indicator light 14.

[0044] In some embodiments, along a first direction, one end of the light-emitting surface of the frame 10 is disposed adjacent to one end of the running belt 20, and the other end is disposed adjacent to the other end of the running belt 20, so as to increase the probability that the user will receive the light of the indicator lights 80, such as the first indicator light 12 and / or the third indicator light 14.

[0045] In a further embodiment, the handrail 50 is located on both sides of the running belt 20 along the second direction and extends along the first direction. The orthographic projection of the light-emitting surface of the handrail 50 onto the light-emitting surface of the frame 10 overlaps with the light-emitting surface of the frame 10, so that the indicator lights 80 on the handrail 50 (e.g., the second indicator light 12) cooperate with the indicator lights 80 on the frame 10 (e.g., the first indicator light 12 and / or the third indicator light 14) to form a multi-dimensional and three-dimensional lighting visual experience, while also increasing the probability that the user can obtain the light of the indicator lights 80.

[0046] In a further embodiment, the light-emitting surface of the armrest 50 extends along the second direction to both sides of the armrest 50. In a further embodiment, the light-emitting surface of the armrest 50 extends along the first direction to the free end of the armrest 50, increasing the probability that the user receives the light from the indicator light 80. In a further embodiment, the indicator light 80, such as the second indicator light 52, is disposed adjacent to the free end of the armrest 50, and the end of the armrest 50 is provided with a light-emitting surface corresponding to the indicator light 80, such as the second indicator light 52.

[0047] In some embodiments, the indicator light 80, such as the third indicator light 14, is mounted on one end of the frame 10 away from the mounting bracket 30, and the end of the frame 10 is provided with a glossy surface corresponding to the third indicator light 14. In some embodiments, the first indicator light 12 is disposed adjacent to the running belt 20 along the second direction.

[0048] In some embodiments, the treadmill 100 may have a safety lock locked state, and the controller 70 is used to control the light strip to light up sequentially to display green based on a preset lighting sequence. In a further embodiment, the lighting interval between two adjacent LEDs in the light strip is 0.1 seconds. In a further embodiment, the period from sequential lighting to full lighting is one cycle, and the controller 70 can control the light strip to light up periodically according to the above lighting rules.

[0049] In some embodiments, the treadmill 100 may have a safety lock disengaged state, and the controller 70 is used to control the indicator light 80 to flash red.

[0050] In some embodiments, the treadmill 100 may have a running state.

[0051] In some embodiments, during running, the controller 70 controls the first indicator light 12 and / or the second indicator light 52 to display a blue color based on a detection signal. In some embodiments, because the handrail 50 is closer to the user, the controller 70 controls the second indicator light 52 to display a blue color based on a detection signal during running.

[0052] In some embodiments, during running, the controller 70 controls the first indicator light 12 and / or the second indicator light 52 to display a green color based on a detection signal. In some embodiments, because the handrail 50 is closer to the user, the controller 70 controls the second indicator light 52 to display a green color based on a detection signal during running.

[0053] In some embodiments, during running, the controller 70 controls the first indicator light 12 and / or the second indicator light 52 to display a warm color based on a detection signal. In some embodiments, because the handrail 50 is closer to the user, the controller 70 controls the second indicator light 52 to display a warm color based on a detection signal during running.

[0054] In some embodiments, during running mode, the controller 70 controls the first indicator light 12 and / or the second indicator light 52 to display red based on the detection signal.

[0055] In some embodiments, the transmission speed corresponding to blue colors is less than the transmission speed corresponding to green colors, the transmission speed corresponding to green colors is less than the transmission speed corresponding to warm colors, and the transmission speed corresponding to warm colors is less than the transmission speed corresponding to red colors.

[0056] In some embodiments, the transmission speed can be categorized into low transmission speed, medium transmission speed, and high transmission speed. In some embodiments, the low transmission speed can be 1-8 km / h. In some embodiments, the medium transmission speed can be 8-15 km / h. In some embodiments, the high transmission speed can be 15-20 km / h or higher. In some embodiments, the transmission speed may further include ultra-high transmission speeds greater than 20 km / h.

[0057] In some embodiments, blue tones can correspond to low transmission speeds, which in turn are associated with a soothing and relaxing mood. This, combined with cool shades of blue such as blue and cyan, helps to influence the user's mood with color, reduce the user's resistance to exercise, and strengthen the user's determination to continue exercising.

[0058] In some embodiments, green tones can correspond to medium speed, which in turn is associated with feelings of balance and vitality. This makes it suitable for a relaxed running state, using color to influence the user's mood, reduce the user's resistance to exercise, and strengthen the user's determination to continue exercising.

[0059] In some embodiments, warm colors can correspond to high transmission speeds, which emphasize speed and passion. Warm colors, such as yellow, orange, or red, are more suitable for warm colors, which can affect the user's mood, reduce the user's resistance to exercise, and strengthen the user's determination to continue exercising.

[0060] In some embodiments, while the countdown is in progress, the LED strip changes from green to dark blue as the speed motor rotates, and the color changes according to the speed range defined by the display panel 40 (assuming the speed range is 0~20km / h).

[0061] For example, 0~5km / h corresponds to cool colors: dark blue → light blue.

[0062] RGB values: Deep Blue – R: 0, G: 0, B: 255.

[0063] Light blue – R: 0, G: 191, B: 255.

[0064] For example, the transitional colors for speeds of 5 to 10 km / h are: light blue → cyan.

[0065] RGB values: Blue-green - R: 0, G: 255, B: 128.

[0066] For example, at speeds of 10–15 km / h, the color scheme starts with warm colors: cyan → green → yellow.

[0067] RGB values: Green - R: 0, G: 255, B: 0.

[0068] Yellow - R: 255, G: 255, B: 0.

[0069] For example, speeds of 15–20 km / h correspond to warm colors: yellow → orange → red.

[0070] RGB values: Orange – R: 255, G: 128, B: 0.

[0071] Red – R: 255, G: 0, B: 0.

[0072] For example, above 20km / h. Red – R: 255, G: 0, B: 0.

[0073] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
