[0027] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the utility model comprises a foldable treadmill with adjustable slope, which comprises a foldable running platform, and the running platform comprises a front frame 1 and a rear frame 2 which are hinged to each other, and running boards are respectively arranged on the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2, and running belts are arranged on the running boards, and when stored, the rear frame 2 can be flipped to the top of the front frame 1 to realize the folding of the running platform; when in use, the rear frame 2 can be flipped to the rear of the front frame 1 in the horizontal direction to realize the unfolding of the running platform; a lifting assembly 3 is arranged under the front frame 1, and the lifting assembly 3 can lift the treadmill as a whole with the end of the rear frame 2 away from the front frame 1 as a fulcrum to realize the slope adjustment of the treadmill.

[0028] Specifically, the lifting assembly 3 includes a front lifting leg 31, a rear lifting leg 32 and a lifting connecting rod 33. The front lifting leg 31 is hinged to the end of the front frame 1 away from the rear frame 2, and the rear lifting leg 32 is hinged to the end of the front frame 1 close to the rear frame 2. The two ends of the lifting connecting rod 33 are respectively hinged to the front lifting leg 31 and the rear lifting leg 32. The front lifting leg 31, the front frame 1, the rear lifting leg 32 and the lifting connecting rod 33 are arranged to form a quadrilateral structure, so that the rotation of the front lifting leg 31 can drive the rear lifting leg 32 to rotate synchronously, that is, the front lifting leg 31 and the rear lifting leg 32 are linked to each other, and the slope of the treadmill as a whole can be adjusted with the end of the rear frame 2 away from the front frame 1 as the fulcrum by changing the inclination angle of the front lifting leg 31 and the rear lifting leg 32.

[0029] Since the front lifting legs 31 and the rear lifting legs 32 are arranged in linkage, when adjusting the slope, the front lifting legs 31 and the rear lifting legs 32 can both maintain contact with the ground, continuously providing support for the end of the front frame 1 close to the rear frame 2, avoiding depression at the connection position of the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2, thereby ensuring the stability of the treadmill when in use.

[0030] The front lifting leg 31 is connected to the lifting motor 34, and the lifting motor 34 can drive the front lifting leg 31 to rotate relative to the front frame 1 to achieve the slope adjustment of the treadmill. The front frame 1 of this embodiment is provided with a lifting motor fixing seat 11, and the lifting motor 34 is fixed on the lifting motor fixing seat 11 and can rotate relative to the lifting motor fixing seat 11. The lifting motor 34 includes a retractable push rod 341, and the push rod 341 is connected to the driving rod 35. The two ends of the driving rod 35 are connected to the front lifting leg 31, and the front lifting leg 31 is driven to rotate relative to the front frame 1 by the extension and contraction of the push rod 341.

[0031] The front lifting leg 31 includes a front support rod 311, one end of which is provided with a front roller 312, and the other end of the front support rod 311 is fixedly connected to a front hinge plate 313, which is hinged to the front frame 1, and the front support rod 311 can rotate around the front frame 1 to change the slope of the treadmill. In this embodiment, a front hinge plate 313 is respectively provided on both sides of the front support rod 311, and the two front hinge plates 313 are clamped and hinged on the front frame 1 to improve the strength of the hinge of the front support rod 311. The lifting connecting rod 33 is hinged to the middle position of the front hinge plate 313 to avoid the situation that when the front support rod 311 is in a horizontal state, the hinge point of the lifting connecting rod 33 coincides with the axis of the front support rod 311, causing the front lifting leg 31 to be stuck and unable to rotate. Preferably, in order to ensure the stability and convenience of the connection between the lifting connecting rod 33 and the front hinge plate 313, connecting rod connecting holes are provided on the two front hinge plates 313, and connecting rod connecting shafts 314 are inserted into the connecting rod connecting holes, and the ends of the connecting rod connecting shafts 314 are hinged to the lifting connecting rod 33. It is worth noting that in order to avoid interference between the connecting rod connecting shafts 314 and the front frame 1, an avoidance groove 12 is provided on the front frame 1, and the connecting rod connecting shaft 314 can move in the avoidance groove 12.

[0032] Preferably, an auxiliary wheel 315 is provided at one end of the front support rod 311 close to the front hinged plate 313, so that when the front support rod 311 is in a horizontal state, the auxiliary wheel 315 and the front roller 312 are in contact with the ground at the same time, providing support for the front lifting leg 31, and preventing the end of the front support rod 311 connected to the front hinged plate 313 from directly contacting the ground and scratching the ground.

[0033] The rear lifting leg 32 includes a rear support plate 321, one end of the rear support plate 321 is hinged to the end of the front frame 1 close to the rear frame 2, the other end of the rear support plate 321 is hinged with a foot 322, the middle position of the rear support plate 321 is hinged to the lifting connecting rod 33, the movement of the lifting connecting rod 33 can drive the rear support plate 321 to rotate, and the foot 322 is always in contact with the ground during the rotation of the rear support plate 321 to provide support for the end of the front frame 1 close to the rear frame 2. Preferably, the rear support plate 321 of the present embodiment is a triangular structure, the vertex of the triangle is hinged to the lifting link 33, and the two bottom points of the triangle are respectively hinged to the front frame 1 and the foot 322. By setting the hinge point of the lifting link 33 at the vertex position of the triangle, it is possible to avoid the hinge point of the lifting link 33 and the line connecting the two hinge points of the rear support plate 321 and the front frame 1 and the foot 322 from coinciding with each other, thereby avoiding the lifting link 33 and the rear support plate 321 from getting stuck. It is worth noting that in order to improve the stability of the connection between the rear support plate 321 and the front frame 1, the lifting link 33 and the foot 322, the rear support plate 321 of the rear lifting leg 32 of the present embodiment is composed of two pieces, which are respectively clamped on both sides of the front frame 1, the lifting link 33 and the foot 322.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the rear frame 2 of this embodiment is provided with a rear roller 4 at one end away from the front frame 1, and the axis of the rear roller 4, the hinge point of the rear lifting leg 32 and the front frame 1 (i.e. the hinge point of the rear support plate 321 and the front frame 1), and the hinge point of the front lifting leg 31 and the front frame 1 (i.e. the hinge point of the front hinge plate 313 and the front frame 1) are arranged in a straight line, and the axis of the rear roller 4, the hinge point of the foot 322 and the rear support plate 321, and the axis of the front roller 312 are arranged in a straight line, so that the axis of the rear roller 4 is connected with the hinge point of the rear lifting leg 32 and the front frame 1, the hinge point of the front lifting leg 31 and the front frame 1, the axis of the front roller 312, and the hinge point of the foot 322 and the rear support plate 321 to form a triangular support structure, so that the treadmill can work more stably after adjusting the slope. It can be understood that since the rear roller 4, the foot 322 and the front roller 312 are all in contact with the ground, it is only necessary to keep the height of the hinge points of the three from the ground consistent in order to achieve the axis of the rear roller 4, the hinge points of the foot 322 and the rear support plate 321 and the axis of the front roller 312 to be in a straight line.

[0035] It can be understood that the three sides of the above-mentioned triangular supporting structure are respectively: an edge formed by a straight line consisting of the axis of the rear roller 4, the hinge point of the rear lifting leg 32 and the front frame 1 (i.e. the hinge point of the rear support plate 321 and the front frame 1), and the hinge point of the front lifting leg 31 and the front frame 1 (i.e. the hinge point of the front hinge plate 313 and the front frame 1); an edge formed by a straight line consisting of the axis of the rear roller 4, the hinge point of the base 322 and the rear support plate 321, and the axis of the front roller 312; an edge formed by a straight line consisting of the hinge point of the front lifting leg 31 and the front frame 1, and the axis of the front roller 312.

The load-bearing surface of this embodiment is an inclined surface extending toward the rear frame 2.

[0037] Preferably, Figure 7-8 As shown, in another embodiment, a locking assembly 5 is provided at the end of the front frame 1 close to the rear frame 2, and the locking assembly 5 can lock the unfolded treadmill to prevent the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 from rotating relative to each other, thereby further improving the bearing capacity at the connection position of the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2.

[0038] The locking assembly 5 includes a locking pin 51, which is movably arranged at the end of the front frame 1 close to the rear frame 2. The locking pin 51 is connected to an elastic assembly 52. ​​Under the action of the elastic assembly 52, the locking pin 51 extends out of the end of the front frame 1. When the rear frame 2 is unfolded, the locking pin 51 can be compressed and retracted into the front frame 1. A locking hole 21 is arranged at the end of the rear frame 2. When the rear frame 2 is fully unfolded, the locking pin 51 can be inserted into the rear frame 2 under the action of the elastic assembly 52 to lock the rear frame 2 and prevent the front frame 1 and the rear frame 2 from rotating relative to each other. The end of the locking pin 51 away from the rear frame 2 is connected to a fine-tuning wrench through a fine-tuning line 53. Pulling the fine-tuning wrench can retract the locking pin 51 into the front frame 1. At this time, the rear frame 2 is unlocked, and the rear frame 2 can rotate relative to the front frame 1 to be folded and stored.

[0039] The utility model has ingenious structural design and is easy to assemble. The front lifting legs, front frame, rear lifting legs and lifting connecting rods of the lifting assembly form a quadrilateral structure, so that the front lifting legs are linked with the rear lifting legs, ensuring that the rear lifting legs can maintain contact with the ground when adjusting the slope, and continuously provide support for the end of the front frame close to the rear frame, thereby ensuring the stability of the treadmill when in use; the push rod of the lifting motor drives the front lifting legs to realize stepless adjustment of the slope, which greatly improves the user experience.

[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
