Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dumbbells, in particular to a telescopic shaft 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 publication number CN216497246U discloses a dumbbell with adjustable gear, including a dumbbell body; the dumbbell body includes a gripping sleeve, and ends arranged on both sides of the gripping sleeve; the gripping sleeve can rotate circumferentially relative to at least a part of the end; two telescopic shafts are axially movably penetrated in the gripping sleeve, and the telescopic shafts and the gripping sleeve are connected by a thread-like connection, and the ends of the telescopic shafts are in a chamber inside the end; when the gripping sleeve rotates circumferentially, the two telescopic shafts can be driven to move axially relative to or away from each other; the ends of the telescopic shafts can extend out of the ends to plug in dumbbell plates, and / or the telescopic shafts can act on the elastic pin assembly inside the chamber to make the ends of the elastic pin assembly extend out of the ends to plug in dumbbell plates. The gripping sleeve in this scheme is the gripping part when lifting the dumbbell; and when the dumbbell weight needs to be adjusted, it only needs to rotate the gripping sleeve to adjust it, which can be operated with one hand and does not need to change the operating position, which is very convenient.
[0006] The patent document with publication number CN216319739U discloses an adjustable dumbbell, including a dumbbell body and dumbbell plates that can be cumulatively attached to the two ends of the dumbbell body, the dumbbell body including a grip and mounting parts arranged at the two ends of the grip for connecting the dumbbell plates, and also including a first telescopic rod and a second telescopic rod for hanging the dumbbell plates, the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod extending through the grip, and a spiral transmission member is fixedly connected to the two ends of the grip respectively, the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod are respectively connected to the spiral transmission members at the two ends of the grip through spiral pairs with opposite rotation directions. The utility model arranges an independent spiral transmission member, and the spiral transmission member is fixedly connected to the two ends of the grip to form a spiral pair connection with the first telescopic rod and the second telescopic rod, thereby eliminating the need to form a thread in the inner cavity of the grip, reducing the process difficulty and improving the production efficiency.
