Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment, in particular to a remote control device for a treadmill. Background Art

[0002] A treadmill with a traditional structure will have a control panel on the top of the front end for switch control, acceleration control, and mode switching. When the user needs to adjust the speed of the treadmill while running, the user needs to move forward to the front end of the treadmill. This may cause a risk of falling if the running speed is set very fast.

[0003] Based on this, there is currently a treadmill that integrates the control part into a remote control device to solve the above problem, so as to facilitate the control of the treadmill. This type of treadmill has handrails on both sides of the treadmill, and in order to avoid the loss of the remote control device and facilitate remote control operation, a connecting arm is provided on the side of the remote control device, which is installed on the upright handrail of the treadmill through the connecting arm. In this way, the treadmill can be controlled by slightly stretching out the hand, which improves the safety of running.

[0004] A remote control device of this structure usually has a clamp at the end of the connecting arm, through which the upright handrail of the treadmill is clamped to achieve the installation of the remote control device on the treadmill. However, some users believe that this remote control device will hinder them when running, and therefore require it to be in a convenient operating position before being turned on, but require the remote control device to be able to rotate away to avoid it after being turned on. The current structure can only rotate away to avoid it by loosening the clamp on the treadmill handrail, and then drive the remote control device to rotate away to avoid it by rotating the installation arm around the treadmill handrail. After the avoidance is completed, the clamp is locked and clamped tightly. This operation is difficult to meet the above-mentioned usage requirements. Once the installation is completed, the position of the remote control device is basically fixed. It is obviously not realistic to adjust the position of the remote control device according to the above-mentioned operation method after turning it on, and there is a certain inconvenience in use. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a remote control device for a treadmill which has a simple structure and is convenient to use.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is:

[0025] In this specific embodiment, the second end of the mounting arm 2 is provided with a mounting groove 21 with an outer side opening and extending vertically, and the mounting groove 21 divides the second end of the mounting arm 2 into two connecting parts 22 spaced apart from each other in the front and rear. A connecting shaft 5 is fixedly installed from the front to the rear at the first end of the connecting plate 3, and the first end of the connecting plate 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 21. The connecting part 22 is provided with a rotating hole 221 extending from the front to the rear, and the two rotating holes 221 are coaxially arranged, and the front and rear ends of the connecting shaft 5 are respectively inserted into the corresponding rotating holes 221, and the rotating hole 221 and the connecting shaft 5 are rotatable. The above structure for rotating connection installation is simple.

[0026] In this specific embodiment, a rotation position locking mechanism for locking the rotation position of the remote control body 1 is provided between the connecting shaft 5 and at least one connecting portion 22. The rotation position is locked by the rotation position locking mechanism, especially the remote control body 1 does not avoid the position when the key is needed to be used, so as to facilitate operation.

[0027] In this specific embodiment, the connecting shaft 5 is a square shaft, and the first end of the connecting plate 3 is provided with a square hole 31 that penetrates front and back and matches the square shaft.
