Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment, in particular to a differential mechanism for a fitness puller. Background Art

[0002] Existing fitness pullers, such as fitness mirrors, include a housing for placing a controller and a rope puller. The rope is pulled out from both sides of the housing. The portion of the rope located inside the housing is wound on a reel, and the reel is linked to a motor.

[0003] A Chinese patent with application number 202310373690.4 discloses two differential mechanisms for fitness pullers. The scheme can distribute the power of the power part to the two cable drum assemblies through the differential mechanism, and can distribute the corresponding rotation speed through the differential mechanism. Only one motor can provide training resistance for the two lever arms, thereby reducing the number of motors used, and further reducing the manufacturing cost of the fitness puller.

[0004] In the above-mentioned patent solution, the rotating shaft and the motor of the first differential mechanism are coaxially arranged at the same height, resulting in a larger overall width, which is not suitable for fitness pullers with smaller widths; the second differential mechanism reduces the overall lateral width by arranging the drive motor above or below the rotating shaft, but its differential mechanism is not easy to assemble.

[0005] The rotating shaft of the second differential mechanism needs to be fixed to the fixed part, the planetary bracket needs to be fixed on the rotating shaft through the flange structure, the bearing and the wire drum need to be pressed on the rotating shaft, and the axial position of the planetary bracket needs to be adjusted to ensure engagement with the output end of the drive motor. Since the distance between the left and right side walls of the fixed part is certain, even if the rotating shaft is composed of two rotating shaft monomers, and the two rotating shaft monomers are respectively fixed on the left and right sides of the turntable, the rotating shaft is difficult to assemble, and it is difficult to ensure that the ring gear on the planetary bracket can effectively engage with the output end of the drive motor. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model aims to provide a differential mechanism for a fitness puller which is easy to assemble, can ensure effective engagement with the output end of a driving motor and occupies a small space in the lateral direction.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a differential mechanism for a fitness puller, comprising two coaxial rotating shafts and a turntable for receiving the torque output by a driving motor, a plurality of first bevel gears are rotatably fixed on the turntable, the rotating shafts are all rotatably fixed to a fixed part, the rotating shafts are all provided with second bevel gears for meshing with the first bevel gears, and a wire drum is also fixed on the rotating shaft, a portion of the fixed part deviating from the left and right sides is provided with a through opening for the output end of the driving motor to extend into, the fixed part comprises a left fixed part and a right fixed part, the left fixed part and the right fixed part are spliced ​​and fixed to form an accommodating cavity for accommodating the rotating disk, the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear, the wire drum is located outside the fixed part, the left fixed part and the right fixed part are both provided with a through hole for the end of a rotating shaft to pass through, the turntable is rotatably fixed to the rotating shaft through a first bearing, and the two rotating shafts are rotatably fixed to the left fixed part and the right fixed part respectively through a second bearing.

[0008] When it is necessary to assemble the differential mechanism of the utility model, the rotating shaft and the second bevel gear are assembled first, and then the second bearing, the rotating shaft with the gear fixed thereon and the left and right fixed parts are press-fitted, so that the rotating shaft passes through the left and right fixed parts and extends out of the fixed parts, and then the first bearing and the turntable with the first bevel gear fixed thereon are installed on the inner end of a rotating shaft, and then the drive motor is assembled, and the drive motor is installed on the left fixed part or the right fixed part with the turntable, so that the output end of the drive motor extends into the left fixed part or the right fixed part, and finally the left fixed part and the right fixed part are fixed with fasteners, wherein, since the axial position between the components is good, the adaptive rotation of the rotating shaft with the second bevel gear or the first bevel gear is achieved through the contact pressure during press-fitting, thereby achieving effective meshing.

[0009] The differential mechanism of the utility model is used to fix the driving motor and the fixed part of the rotating shaft. The two rotating shafts can be fixed to one part respectively, and then the turntable is fixed on the end of the rotating shaft located on the inner side of the fixed part, and finally the left and right parts of the fixed part are spliced, so as to realize modular assembly, which is convenient for assembly line operation and each individual assembly process. In the assembly process of the utility model, as long as the press-fitting position between the rotating shaft, the bearing and the fixed part can be guaranteed, the position between the ring gear at the turntable and the output end of the driving motor and the position between the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear can be guaranteed. Only a small rotation of the rotating shaft or the turntable is required to ensure effective meshing.

[0010] The assembly of the wire drum and the rotating shaft can be performed after the assembly of the rotating shaft, the second bearing and the left and right fixing parts are completed, or the assembly of the wire drum and the rotating shaft can be performed after the assembly of the left and right fixing parts are completed.

[0011] The utility model provides a through opening on the fixing part so that the driving motor can be located at the front and rear sides or the upper and lower sides of the fixing part, thereby ensuring that the left and right width of the differential mechanism for the entire fitness puller is small, so that it can be suitable for fitness pullers such as fitness mirrors with small widths. The fixing part of the utility model constitutes a right accommodating chamber, and the entire fixing part is in a box shape. It only needs to adopt the sealing method of a conventional motor or a reduction box (an oil seal is provided at the second bearing, and a sealing ring is provided at the joint of the left fixing part and the right fixing part) to ensure the sealing of the accommodating chamber, avoid the loss of lubricating oil in the accommodating chamber, and avoid foreign matter from entering the accommodating chamber, thereby ensuring the normal use of the fitness puller of the utility model, and the user can pull the rope of the fitness puller more smoothly, and there will be no jamming due to the internal corrosion of the differential mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, the second bevel gear is integrally arranged with the rotating shaft. By integrally arranging the second bevel gear with the rotating shaft, the assembly steps can be reduced, and the thickness of the connection between the second bevel gear and the rotating shaft can be reduced, further reducing the space required for the accommodating cavity and making the volume of the fixing part smaller.

The second bearing is axially limited by the second bevel gear integrally formed on the rotating shaft, and there is no need to use a shaft retaining ring or other components for limiting, which can reduce the number of parts to be assembled.

[0014] Preferably, the circumferential outer wall of the turntable is matched with the inner wall of the fixing part which deviates from the inner wall of the through hole. The above arrangement makes the inner wall of the accommodating cavity closer to the circumferential outer wall of the turntable, which can ensure the use effect of the lubricating oil, facilitate the installation of the turntable, and facilitate the alignment of the turntable with the rotating shaft, or the alignment of the rotating shaft equipped with the turntable with the fixing part.

[0015] Preferably, the portion of the rotating shaft outside the fixed part includes a thick section and a thin section, the thick section is closer to the fixed part than the thin section, a wire drum is provided on the outer shell of the thin section, and the outer wall of the thin section and the inner wall of the wire drum are provided with mutually matching positioning protrusions and positioning grooves, the positioning protrusions and positioning grooves are extended along the axial direction of the rotating shaft, and the axial surface of the wire drum is close to the axial surface of the thick section. The above arrangement can make the linkage assembly between the rotating shaft and the wire drum more convenient. Among them, a shaft retaining ring can be provided to limit the axial movement of the wire drum.

[0016] Preferably, the first bearing is a sliding bearing, which is sleeved outside the ends of the two rotating shafts. The sliding bearing is thinner than a general rolling bearing, which can make the diameter of the turntable smaller and make the turntable rotate more smoothly.

[0017] The utility model has the advantages of being easy to assemble, being able to ensure effective engagement with the output end of the driving motor, and occupying a small space in the lateral direction. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
