[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] The anti-fall design of the running belt of the non-powered treadmill in the related art relies on the use of a one-way bearing. At the same time, the non-powered treadmill in the related art is provided with a braking system to stop the rotating running belt through the braking system. The braking system is manually controlled and cannot be controlled by the foot.

[0031] In order to solve the above technical problems, this embodiment provides a treadmill braking system, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, Figure 1 This is a front view of the treadmill brake system in the embodiment. Figure 2 is a three-dimensional diagram of the treadmill brake system in the embodiment, Figure 3 for Figure 2 A magnified schematic diagram of area A in the middle.

[0032] The treadmill braking system of this embodiment includes: a running belt 1, a rotating wheel 2 and a stopper 3.

[0033] The running belt 1 is rotatably disposed on a frame 4 of the treadmill. The running belt 1 includes a pedal section 10 for a user to step on. The pedal section 10 is provided with a running area 11 and a stop area 12 along the length direction of the running belt 1 .

[0034] The treadbelt 1 can be rotatably mounted on the frame 4 using the method in the prior art, such as a rotatably connected pulley on the frame 4, which is connected to the treadbelt 1 through the pulley and drives the treadbelt 1 to rotate relative to the frame 4; the pedal section 10 is the portion of the treadbelt 1 with the belt surface facing upward, which contacts the user's feet during operation and changes in real time during the rotation of the treadbelt 1; wherein the running area 11 is used for running and stepping, and the stopping area 12 is used for getting on the treadmill and stopping.

[0035] The rotating wheel 2 is rotatably connected to the frame 4 and is located below the running area 11; the stopper 3 is connected to the frame 4 and is located below the stopper area 12; when the stopper area 12 of the pedal section 10 is stepped on by the user, the stopper 3 contacts the treadmill 1; when the running area 11 of the pedal section 10 is stepped on by the user, the rotating wheel 2 contacts the treadmill 1.

[0036] The rotating wheel 2 and the stopper 3 are used for rotating and stopping the running belt 1 respectively, wherein the rotating wheel 2 forms rolling friction when in contact with the running belt 1, and the stopper 3 forms sliding friction when in contact with the running belt 1.

[0037] When the treadmill brake system of the above technical solution is working, the running belt 1 is stopped by the stopper 3. Specifically, when the user steps on the treadmill, the stopper 3 contacts the running belt 1 and the running belt 1 stops rotating through the friction between the two, thereby reducing the risk of the user falling due to the rotation of the running belt 1 and realizing the anti-fall function; when the user is running, the running area 11 of the footrest section 10 is stepped on by the user, and the rotating wheel 2 contacts the running belt 1 in a rolling manner, realizing the normal rotation of the running belt 1. At this time, the user can stop the running belt 1 by stepping on the stopper 12 to realize the braking function. It can be seen that the treadmill brake system of this embodiment can realize the anti-fall function of the running belt 1 without a one-way bearing and realize the braking function controlled by the foot.

[0038] See also Figure 3 As shown, in order to solve the problem that the treadmill 1 deviates from the predetermined position during running and stopping, a guide boss 13 is provided on the inner side of the treadmill 1 of this embodiment, and a guide groove 20 is provided on the rotating wheel 2. When the running area 11 of the pedal section 10 is stepped on by the user, the guide boss 13 is located in the guide groove 20. In this way, the treadmill 1 can be limited and guided by the cooperation between the guide boss 13 and the guide groove 20 during rotation, thereby improving the stability of rotation.

[0039] Furthermore, when the stopping area 12 of the pedal section 10 is stepped on by the user, the stopping member 3 contacts the guide boss 13 .

[0040] See also Figure 1 As shown, in order to make the running belt 1 rotate more smoothly, it also includes a bearing 5, which is rotatably connected to the frame 4 and contacts the bottom surface of the pedal section 10, wherein the bearing 5 can use a deep groove ball bearing.

[0041] The specific positions of the running area 11 and the stop area 12 can be set as needed, for example, the running area 11 is located at the front section and the middle section of the pedal section 10 , and the stop area 12 is located at the rear section of the pedal section 10 .

[0042] In this embodiment, the pedal section 10 is arc-shaped, and the stop area 12 is located at the end of the arc. Such a configuration is beneficial to improving the force effect of the stop area 12 and improving the stopping performance.

[0043] In this embodiment, the stoppers 3 , the rotating wheels 2 , and the stoppers 3 and the rotating wheels 2 are arranged at intervals.

[0044] This embodiment provides a non-powered treadmill, including a frame 4 and the above-mentioned treadmill brake system. By using the treadmill brake system, the non-powered treadmill of this embodiment can realize the anti-fall function of the running belt 1 without a one-way bearing, and realize the braking function controlled by the foot at the same time.

[0045] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
