Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dumbbells, in particular to a cam mechanism and a dumbbell. Background Art
[0002] Dumbbells are an auxiliary equipment for weightlifting and fitness exercises. They are smaller than barbells. The weights of light dumbbells are 6, 8, 12, 16 pounds, etc., and the weights of heavy dumbbells are 10, 15, 30 kilograms, etc. Therefore, they are favored by fitness enthusiasts. Because there is no sound during exercise, they are named dumbbells.
[0003] There are two main types of dumbbells in the prior art: one is a dumbbell with fixed weight, and the other is a dumbbell with adjustable weight; when the former dumbbell with fixed weight is used, a set of dumbbells of different weight specifications must be prepared to meet the needs of the trainee; the latter is deeply loved by sports trainees because the weight can be adjusted.
[0004] Generally, a dumbbell with adjustable weight is provided with multiple weight levels. During use, dumbbell plates can be added or subtracted by adjusting the extension and retraction of the dumbbell handle as needed, so that the dumbbell has different weights, which is convenient for use in different stages of exercise. However, the number of adjustable levels of the dumbbell is usually the number of dumbbell plates that can be installed on one side of the dumbbell, and the weight represented by each level is the sum of the weight of two dumbbell plates and the weight of the handle. The dumbbell with adjustable weight in this setting has the problem of a small number of adjustable levels. During use, it is easy to have the weight adjusted in each level to be too large, which exceeds the weight that the exerciser can bear each time, especially the weak female group, and thus cannot well meet the needs of the exerciser.
[0005] The patent document with the publication number CN215781228U discloses a dumbbell handle, dumbbell and dumbbell base, which relates to the technical field of fitness equipment, wherein a dumbbell handle comprises: a handle body, a gear rotating assembly, a planetary gear mechanism sleeved on one end of a gear shaft, and the other end of the gear shaft is nested in a first cavity; the inner walls of both ends of the second cavity of the gear shaft each have at least one first protrusion; a telescopic shaft, a threaded groove corresponding to the first protrusion is provided on the side wall of the telescopic shaft, a cam mechanism, a driving wheel and a driven wheel slidingly cooperate, an elastic member is provided on the side of the driven wheel away from the driving wheel, the driving wheel is sleeved on the end of the gear shaft, the driving wheel rotates under the drive of the gear shaft, and drives the driven wheel to do reciprocating linear motion along the axis direction of the gear shaft. The dumbbell handle of the utility model can realize the engagement and separation between the driven wheel and the additional sheet of the dumbbell, increase the number of gear adjustment, and effectively avoid the problem of affecting the exercise effect due to the excessive weight of each gear adjustment. However, the contact area between the driving wheel and the driven wheel in its cam mechanism is large, resulting in greater friction, which greatly reduces the service life. Summary of the invention

[0037] Further, if Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a pair of first slide grooves 121 are provided on the fixed disk 12, and the pair of elastic pins 13 correspond to the pair of first slide grooves 121 one by one and are movably arranged in the corresponding first slide grooves 121. The pair of elastic pins 13 can slide in the corresponding first slide grooves 121 and protrude from the corresponding first slide grooves 121.
[0038] The cam mechanism according to the embodiment of the utility model has a simple structure, small friction and long service life.
[0039] Secondly, if Figures 1 to 9 As shown, according to the second embodiment of the utility model, a dumbbell is provided, comprising the cam mechanism 1 and the handle 2 described in the first embodiment, the handle 2 comprising a first hollow shaft 21 and a second hollow shaft 22, the first hollow shaft 21 is sleeved on the second hollow shaft 22, and drives the second hollow shaft 22 to rotate through the planetary gear mechanism 3 (belonging to the prior art), the driving wheel 11 is sleeved on the second hollow shaft 22, and rotates with the second hollow shaft 22, the fixed disc 12 is connected to the planetary gear mechanism 3, and does not rotate with the second hollow shaft 22 (belonging to the prior art), and further comprises:
[0040] A telescopic shaft 4, wherein a thread groove 41 and a pair of second sliding grooves 42 are arranged on the outer circumference of the telescopic shaft 4;
[0041] The second hollow shaft 22 is sleeved on the telescopic shaft 4. At least one first threaded protrusion 221 is disposed in the second hollow shaft 22. The first threaded protrusion 221 cooperates with the thread groove 41. The second hollow shaft 22 drives the telescopic shaft 4 to reciprocate along the axial direction through the first threaded protrusion 221.
[0042] The additional sheet 5 can be sleeved on the second hollow shaft 22 . A pair of first openings 51 are provided on the additional sheet 5 . The additional sheet 5 and the cam mechanism 1 are arranged adjacent to each other. The pair of first openings 51 and the pair of elastic latches 13 correspond to each other one by one.

At this time, when the user picks up the handle 2, the additional sheet 5 will remain on the dumbbell seat. When the second hollow shaft 22 rotates, it can simultaneously drive the telescopic shaft 4 to extend or shorten, so as to adjust the number of dumbbell sheets 6 brought up.
