Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a treadmill, in particular to a treadmill with a massage function. Background Art

[0002] In the existing health and fitness equipment market, traditional treadmills mainly focus on providing basic exercise functions such as indoor walking or running to help users maintain their daily exercise habits, enhance cardiopulmonary function, and achieve the purpose of fat loss and body shaping. These treadmills are usually only equipped with basic running belts and power systems, as well as adjustable speed and slope functions, but the functions are relatively simple and lack in-depth consideration of the overall health of the human body.

[0003] In recent years, with the increasing awareness of health care, especially the increasing demand for improving body microcirculation and fatigue recovery, a single exercise method can no longer fully meet the diversified and personalized needs of users. The common problem of existing treadmills is that they ignore the effective stimulation and massage of acupoints on the human foot during exercise. As an ancient health care therapy, foot massage has been widely proven to effectively promote blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, and help relieve muscle fatigue after standing, walking or running for a long time.

[0004] Therefore, although there are a large number of independent devices for professional foot massage on the market, in actual application, how to organically integrate this important health care function into the design of daily aerobic exercise equipment, especially treadmills, has become an urgent problem to be solved. Existing treadmill products fail to combine walking or running exercises with foot acupoint massage, so that users cannot enjoy the additional health benefits brought by professional massage while doing aerobic exercise.

[0005] In view of this, the utility model aims to propose a new treadmill design, the core of which is to integrate advanced foot massage functions, so that users can simultaneously achieve precise massage of the acupoints on the soles of the feet during slow walking, thereby improving the exercise effect while further optimizing the user experience, promoting blood circulation throughout the body, accelerating fatigue recovery, filling the existing market gap, and meeting the expectations of modern consumers for integrated, high-performance, and comfortable fitness equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a treadmill with a massage function in view of the above problems existing in the prior art. The core innovation of the treadmill of the utility model is to integrate a unique massage mechanism, which is cleverly embedded in the running board of the treadmill body. The massage mechanism is mainly composed of a roller and a connecting shaft assembly at both ends thereof, a cam device is installed on the connecting shaft, and an operable adjustment dial is set at one or more ends of the roller.

[0007] In order to achieve the above application purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: a treadmill with a massage function comprises a treadmill body, a massage mechanism is arranged in a running board of the treadmill body, and the massage mechanism comprises a roller, cams arranged on a connecting shaft at both ends of the roller in the length direction, and a shaft body matched with the cam;

[0008] The top of the roller abuts against the inner wall of the running belt of the running board, and a slide groove for the roller to move up and down is provided on the treadmill body. An adjusting dial is also provided on the connecting shaft at both ends or one end of the roller. By rotating the adjusting dial, the cam and the roller can be driven to rotate synchronously to achieve height adjustment of the roller.

[0009] Working principle and beneficial effects: 1. Compared with the prior art, the roller is designed to contact the inner wall of the running belt inside the running board. Before the user walks or jogs on the running belt, the user can turn the adjustment dial to drive the cam on the connecting shaft to move. The cam cooperates with the shaft body, and the roller can move up and down in the slide groove through the precision mechanical structure design. When the adjustment dial rotates, the changes transmitted to the cam will cause the roller to adjust its position in the vertical direction. When the roller is raised above the plane of the running board, the roller will form a dynamic massage interface on the inside of the running belt. At this time, when the user uses the treadmill, the soles of their feet will be rolled and massaged by the roller at different heights, simulating the effect of a foot massager.

[0010] 2. The utility model effectively combines the exercise function of the traditional treadmill with the function of foot massage. Users can enjoy the massage of the acupuncture points on the soles of the feet while doing aerobic exercise, realizing the multiple functions of a single fitness equipment. By adjusting the height of the roller, the massage intensity can be adjusted according to personal needs without affecting normal walking or running, which helps to promote blood circulation in the soles of the feet, reduce fatigue after exercise, and improve comfort and health effects during exercise.

[0011] 3. Through the adjustable turntable design, users can easily adjust the position of the roller according to their needs, increasing the ease of use and personalized setting options of the treadmill. This treadmill design with integrated massage function not only demonstrates novel technical solutions, but also reflects significant practical value, which is expected to promote the fitness equipment industry to a more comprehensive and humanized direction.

[0012] Furthermore, the massage mechanism is located on the center line of the running board in the length direction. The massage mechanism in the center makes it easier for users to reach and fully receive massage in a normal gait, without having to deliberately change the stride or pace, which improves the efficiency and comfort of the massage function. Whether the user is running fast, jogging or walking, since the massage mechanism is located in the core area of ​​the running track, the massage effect can be easily obtained in various sports states, which enhances the universality and practicality of the product.

[0013] Furthermore, the support plate of the running board is provided with a slot for the roller to be exposed. This design allows the roller to rise and contact the running belt when needed to achieve a massage function. When the user chooses to turn on the massage mode, the roller can extend through the slot and perform a rolling massage on the soles of the runner's feet, thereby providing physical therapy and relaxation effects while exercising. Through the slotted design, the roller can be hidden inside the running board. When the massage function is not in use, the roller can be retracted to keep the surface of the running board flat, so that the treadmill can be used as both a normal running training device and an advanced fitness equipment with a massage function, which improves the versatility and space utilization of the product.

[0014] Furthermore, the massage mechanism also includes a support frame connected to the frame of the treadmill body, and the support frame is provided with an axis body and a U-shaped groove for the connecting axis of the roller to move up and down. The support frame is connected to the treadmill body frame, which enhances the stability of the massage mechanism, ensures that the roller does not shake or deviate from the center position during the up and down movement, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the massage function. The U-shaped groove can be used as a simple guide and shock-absorbing structure, which helps to absorb the impact force generated by the roller during the up and down movement, reduce noise, and increase the service life of the equipment. It also helps to protect the user from excessive vibration when using the massage function.

[0015] Furthermore, the support frame includes a cross brace, auxiliary support rods fixedly connected to both ends of the cross brace in the length direction, and the U-shaped groove and the shaft body are both arranged on the auxiliary support rod. The force points of the roller are dispersedly transmitted to the frame of the treadmill body through the cross brace and the auxiliary support rod, which effectively prevents local overload, prolongs the service life of the equipment, and improves safety.

[0016] Furthermore, a support seat is provided on the inner wall of the frame of the treadmill body, and the support seat is detachably connected to the cross brace and the support plate of the running board. The support seat provides an additional fixing point to ensure that the cross brace and the support plate of the running board remain stable under stress, thereby improving the overall stability of the entire massage mechanism and the treadmill body. The detachable connection means that the various components can be quickly installed or removed as needed, which facilitates the transportation, storage, upgrading, maintenance and replacement of the equipment. For example, when the massage mechanism needs to be maintained or repaired, there is no need to disassemble the entire treadmill on a large scale, and only the associated support seat needs to be removed.

[0017] Furthermore, the adjusting dial is located on the side of the frame of the treadmill body. Placing the adjusting dial on the side of the frame allows the user to easily see and touch the dial before the exercise process, and can easily adjust the roller height.

[0018] Furthermore, each adjustment dial is provided with a polygonal inner hole for driving the adjustment dial to rotate with a tool. By inserting a special tool into the polygonal inner hole, the user can adjust the height of the roller more accurately, avoiding the instability and inaccuracy that may be caused by manual rotation, and ensuring the accuracy of the massage function setting. The design of the polygonal inner hole only allows the insertion of matching tools, effectively preventing the dial from rotating due to unintentional touch, thereby ensuring the safety and stability of the device.

[0019] Furthermore, each cam is provided with a plurality of protrusions in the circumferential direction, each protrusion has a different radius, and the radius of the groove between two adjacent protrusions is also different. When the roller rotates with the cam, due to the different radii of the protrusions and grooves on the cam, the roller will produce different lifting amplitudes accordingly, thereby realizing a continuous change in the intensity of the foot massage. In this way, users can get a progressive massage experience from gentle to strong while walking or jogging, better meeting individual differentiated needs.

[0020] Furthermore, the number of rollers is at least two. Two rollers can act on the user's feet at the same time, providing a full-range, continuous massage experience. Compared with a single-roller design, it can cover the sole area more comprehensively, improve massage efficiency and comfort, and increase the frequency of massage. Each roller can be independently connected to a different adjustment dial, which means that differentiated massage strengths and modes can be provided for the left and right feet to meet the personalized needs of different users or the same user at different stages. The multi-roller design can disperse pressure, avoid excessive wear of a single roller, and extend the service life of the equipment. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0029] Those skilled in the art should understand that, in the disclosure of the present invention, the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" etc. indicating the orientation or position relationship are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the treadmill with massage function comprises a treadmill body 1, the treadmill body 1 comprises a frame 11, a running board mounted on the frame 11, the running board comprises a support plate 12 and a running belt 13, and the running belt 13 is driven to rotate by two front and rear rollers 14. The specific prior art is not described here, and the improvements of the utility model are as follows:

[0031] A massage mechanism 2 is specially designed inside the treadmill body 1, and the key components of the mechanism include a roller 21, both ends of which are connected to a cam 23 through a connecting shaft 22, and the cam 23 is precisely matched with a specific shaft 24. It is worth noting that the top of the roller 21 is in close contact with the running belt 13 on the inner side of the running board, which lays the foundation for the realization of the subsequent massage function.

[0032] The treadmill body 1 is carefully designed with a slide groove to allow the roller 21 to move up and down in the vertical direction. At the same time, the roller 21 is connected to the shaft 22 at both ends or one of them with an adjustment dial 25. When the user turns the adjustment dial 25, the cam 23 can be driven to operate, so that the roller 21 can be adjusted in the slide groove. What is particularly important is that when the roller 21 is raised above the running board plane, a dynamic massage interface will be formed. When the user is running or walking slowly, the soles of the feet can receive rolling massage from the roller 21 at different heights, just like a professional foot massager.

[0033] In addition, one of the key points of the present invention is to place the massage mechanism 2 on the center line of the running board in the length direction, ensuring that the user can easily touch and fully feel the massage in a normal walking or running posture without deliberately adjusting the pace or stride, which greatly improves the practicality and comfort of the massage function. Whether the user is running fast, jogging or walking, the massage mechanism 2 can play a role in the core area of ​​the movement path, making the product have wide applicability and practical utility.

[0034] The utility model also introduces a design in which the roller 21 on the running board support plate 12 is exposed with a groove 121, so that the roller 21 can be popped out and contact the treadmill belt 13 when needed to activate the massage function; conversely, when not needed, the roller 21 can be hidden inside the running board to keep the running board surface flat, so that the treadmill can be used as a basic running training device and can also be transformed into a fitness equipment with advanced massage function, which significantly improves the versatility and space utilization of the product.

[0035] In order to ensure the stability and accuracy of the massage mechanism 2, the utility model installs a support frame 26 on the frame 11 of the treadmill body 1, and sets a shaft 24 and a U-shaped groove 2621 for the roller 21 to move up and down on the shaft 22. The support frame 26 is composed of a cross brace 261 and auxiliary support rods 262 fixed at both ends of the cross brace 261. The U-shaped groove 2621 and the shaft 24 are both placed on the auxiliary support rod 262 to disperse the force of the roller 21, ensure that it always remains stable during the movement, improve the accuracy and reliability of the massage function, and at the same time, the U-shaped groove 2621 structure reduces the impact force of the roller 21 during the movement, reduces noise, prolongs the life of the equipment, and effectively prevents the user from being affected by excessive vibration when using the massage function.

[0036] In order to further facilitate user operation and equipment maintenance, a support seat 111 is also preset on the inner wall of the frame 11 of the treadmill body 1. The support seat 111 is detachably connected to the cross brace 261 in the massage mechanism 2 and the running board support plate 12, so that when necessary, such as when the massage mechanism 2 is maintained or replaced, there is no need to disassemble the entire treadmill on a large scale, and only the relevant support seat 111 part needs to be separated. In this embodiment, it can be fixed by screws or the like.

[0037] The adjustment dial 25 is designed on the side of the frame 11 of the treadmill body 1, so that the user can intuitively and conveniently operate it before and after use to achieve accurate adjustment of the height of the roller 21. In addition, the special polygonal inner hole structure on the adjustment dial 25 can only be inserted with a special tool, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the height adjustment of the roller 21, effectively preventing the turntable from rotating due to accidental touch, and improving the safety and stability of the equipment.

[0038] In addition, the utility model provides a plurality of protrusions and grooves with different radii in the circumferential direction of each cam 23, and the radii of adjacent protrusions and grooves are also different. This design enables the roller 21 to continuously and gradually adjust the foot massage intensity according to the changes in the radius of the protrusions and grooves when the cam 23 rotates, thereby meeting the user's personalized needs for massage intensity.

[0039] Finally, the number of rollers 21 in the utility model is at least two to ensure that the user's feet can receive all-round and continuous massage services at the same time, which significantly improves the massage efficiency and comfort compared to the design of a single roller 21. Each roller 21 can be independently connected to a different adjustment dial 25 to provide differentiated massage strength and mode selection for the left and right feet, and the multi-roller 21 design can also evenly distribute the force, effectively slowing down the wear rate of a single roller 21, thereby extending the service life of the entire device.

[0040] To sum up, the treadmill of the utility model successfully combines the exercise function of the traditional treadmill with the foot massage function by virtue of its innovative structural design and functional integration. It not only provides users with an efficient exercise platform, but also greatly improves the comfort and health care effects during exercise, demonstrating extremely high practical value and market potential.

[0041] The parts not described in detail in the present invention are prior art, so the present invention does not describe them in detail.

[0042] It is to be understood that the term "one" should be understood as "at least one" or "one or more", that is, in one embodiment, the number of an element may be one, while in another embodiment, the number of the element may be multiple, and the term "one" should not be understood as a limitation on the quantity.

[0043] Although the present invention uses more terms such as treadmill body 1, massage mechanism 2, frame 11, support plate 12, running belt 13, roller 14, support seat 111, slot 121, roller 21, connecting shaft 22, cam 23, shaft 24, adjustment dial 25, support frame 26, cross brace 261, auxiliary support rod 262, U-shaped groove 2621, etc., it does not exclude the possibility of using other terms. The use of these terms is only for more convenient description and explanation of the essence of the utility model; interpreting them as any additional restrictions is contrary to the spirit of the utility model.

[0044] The present utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optimal implementation mode. Anyone can derive other various forms of products under the inspiration of the present utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in the shape or structure, all those having the same or similar technical solutions as the present utility model fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
