Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of treadmills, in particular to a mechanism for preventing a running surface from deflecting on a treadmill. Background Art

[0002] It is known that the current treadmill has a small track deflection amplitude when the trainer's running force is uniform and the speed is low, which is not detectable by human perception. The track deflection in this state meets normal requirements. However, when the trainer's running force is uneven and the speed is high, the track deflection amplitude when the trainer's running force is uneven and the speed is high, the track deflection amplitude when the trainer's running force is uneven and the track edge of the running surface is swaying can be observed by human vision. The track deflection in this state does not meet the requirements of specific usage scenarios. The reason for this result is that the body vibration caused by uneven foot force and high-speed rotation causes the wave-like shaking of the track drooping section. The amplitude of this shaking on both sides of the track drooping section is different, which leads to a height difference in the amplitude on both sides of the track. The height difference in the amplitude on both sides is immediately converted into a left-right position difference of the track on the horizontal plane under high-speed conditions, resulting in a visible left-right swing phenomenon of the running surface during high-speed operation. In addition, due to the uneven force exerted by the trainer's feet perpendicular to the direction of movement of the track, the swing amplitude of the rear track of the treadmill will be greater than the swing amplitude of the front track. This increased swing amplitude will increase the amplitude difference on both sides of the drooping section of the track, further increasing the left and right swing of the track.

[0003] For example, in the prior art, a Chinese utility model patent document with authorization announcement number CN217091923U records a device for preventing a treadmill belt from running off track, comprising a treadmill motor and a treadmill deck, with a running belt arranged between the treadmill decks, and guide wheels for preventing the belt from running off track are arranged on both sides of the running belt between the front end of the running deck and the front roller of the treadmill. When this structure is in use, since the guide wheel is a wheel with a groove in the middle, the side of the running belt located in the groove will form relatively large friction, especially in the case of high-speed operation, it will form additional jitter. Such long-term additional jitter will also affect the loosening or detachment of the treadmill components, and will also make the user prone to injury when running, so it is necessary to make improvements.

[0038] Embodiment 3: It can be described on the basis of Embodiment 1 or Embodiment 2, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, there is at least one front guide shaft assembly 5 and at least one rear guide shaft assembly 6, and in this embodiment, there are two front guide shaft assemblies 5 and two rear guide shaft assemblies 6. This arrangement is reasonable and is conducive to preventing the crawler 4 from running off during the rotation process on the frame 1. The front guide shaft assembly 5 includes a front guide belt frame 51 arranged on the front roller 2, and a front bearing 1 52 is arranged on the upper end surface of the front guide belt frame 51.

This structure is simple and easy to implement. It is to be noted that the front guide belt frame 51 and the front roller 2 are fixedly connected by a front nut 54, which is convenient for the installation and removal of the front guide belt frame 51 and the front roller 2. It is also to be noted that the front locking member 53 includes a front gasket 531 and a front screw 532.

The rear bearing 1 62 and the rear guide frame 61 are locked together by a rear locking member 63. The rear bearing 1 62 contacts the inner side of the crawler 4. This structure is simple and easy to implement. It is to be noted that the rear guide frame 61 and the rear drum 3 are fixedly connected by a rear nut 64, which is convenient for the installation and removal of the rear guide frame 61 and the rear drum 3. It is also to be noted that the rear locking member 63 includes a rear gasket 631 and a rear screw 632. The rear gasket 631 is disposed between the rear screw 632 and the upper end surface of the rear bearing 1 62, which is easy to implement.

[0040] Embodiment 4: It can be described on the basis of Embodiment 1, Embodiment 2 or Embodiment 3, such as Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the front roller 2 includes a front axle core 21 arranged on the front end of the frame 1, and the front axle core 21 is provided with two front bearings 22 distributed in pairs, each of the front bearings 22 is provided with a front roller wheel 23, and a front guide shaft assembly 5 is provided on the front axle core 21 between adjacent front roller wheels 23; the rear roller 3 includes a rear axle core 31 arranged on the rear end of the frame 1, and the rear axle core 31 is provided with two rear bearings 32 distributed in pairs, each of the rear bearings 32 is provided with a rear roller wheel 33, and a rear guide shaft assembly 6 is provided on the rear axle core 31 between adjacent rear roller wheels 33. This arrangement is reasonable, which is conducive to the installation of the front guide shaft assembly 5 and the rear guide shaft assembly 6, and better prevents the deviation from occurring during the rotation of the crawler track 4.

[0041] In the utility model, when the crawler 4 is rotating at a high speed, the deflection caused by the uneven foot force of the trainer at the rear end of the treadmill is contacted by the rear bearing 1 62 of the rear guide shaft assembly 6 at the mounting position 2 412 of the running belt 41, thereby eliminating the limiting effect and reducing the influence on the fluctuation of the sagging section of the crawler 4. The deflection amplitude at the horizontal position of the running surface, which is converted by the uneven amplitude of the trainer's foot force and the vibration of the whole treadmill on both sides of the sagging section below the running surface, is contacted by the front bearing 1 52 of the front guide shaft assembly 5 at the mounting position 2 412 of the running belt 41, thereby eliminating the limiting effect.

[0042] The standard parts used in this application document can all be purchased from the market, and the specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional means such as mature bolts and rivets in the existing technology. The internal components of the treadmill all adopt conventional models in the existing technology, and its internal structure belongs to the existing technology structure.
