[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 The present invention provides the following technical solution: a foldable and easy-to-store squat rack, including a pile base 1, a foot pad 6 installed on the top of the pile base 1, an elastic rope 7 installed on the top of the foot pad 6, two fixing straps 8 installed on the side of the elastic rope 7 near the foot pad 6, multiple anti-slip layers 5 installed below the pile base 1, the pile base 1 and the multiple anti-slip layers 5 are connected by multiple support blocks 4, the pile base 1 and the elastic rope 7 are connected by an adjustment and folding device 2, and an auxiliary lighting device 3 is installed on the top of the adjustment and folding device 2.

[0025] Specifically, the adjustment and folding device 2 includes a column 21, a movable frame 22, a rotating plate 23, a lead screw 24, and a folding assembly 25. The column 21 is provided on one side of the elastic rope 7. The movable frame 22 is installed on the outer side of the elastic rope 7 and above the column 21. The lead screw 24 is installed on one side of the column 21 and inside the bottom of the movable frame 22 via a bearing. The rotating plate 23 is installed on the side of the lead screw 24 away from the column 21. The folding assembly 25 is installed between the column 21 and the pile foundation 1.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, workers can adjust the position of the elastic rope 7 and the fixing belt 8 by using the cooperation of structures such as the movable frame 22 and the lead screw 24 when needed, thereby better meeting the work needs in different situations.

[0027] Specifically, the folding assembly 25 includes a rotating block 251, a fixed shaft 252, threaded holes 253, a fixing frame 254, and screws 255. The fixing frame 254 is installed above the pile foundation 1 and on one side of the foot pad 6. The rotating block 251 is installed below the column 21 and inside the fixing frame 254. The fixed shaft 252 is installed inside the fixing frame 254 and inside the rotating block 251. The top of the fixing frame 254 is threaded with screws 255. Multiple threaded holes 253 are provided on one side of the rotating block 251.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, staff can fold the uprights 21 and other structures when needed by using the cooperation of structures such as the rotating block 251 and the fixed shaft 252, thereby reducing the storage difficulty of the squat rack.

[0029] Specifically, the bottom of the rotating block 251 and the top of the fixed frame 254 are both semi-cylindrical designs, and the outer side of the movable frame 22 and the inner top of the column 21 are in close contact with each other.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the column 21 will not be obstructed during rotation, and the movement of the mobile frame 22 can be guided by the column 21 to a certain extent, thus preventing the phenomenon of rotational deviation of the mobile frame 22.

[0031] In this embodiment, when a worker needs to use the squat rack, the worker rotates the rotating plate 23 in the adjusting and folding device 2. The rotating plate 23 drives the lead screw 24 to rotate. The lead screw 24 is threadedly connected to the movable frame 22, and the movable frame 22 is tightly attached to the column 21. Therefore, the lead screw 24 drives the movable frame 22 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the elastic rope 7 and the fixing strap 8. The worker steps onto the foot mat 6 on the pile foundation 1, then ties the two fixing straps 8 to the upper part of both legs, and then performs squat exercises. The anti-slip layer 5 under the support block 4 plays an anti-slip role. When the squat rack needs to be stored, the worker can rotate the screw 255 on the fixing bracket 254 in the folding assembly 25 to disengage it from the threaded hole 253 on the rotating block 251. Then, the column 21 and its upper structure are folded down. The rotating block 251 is connected to the fixed shaft 252 by a bearing. Then, the screw 255 is rotated in the opposite direction to connect it with the corresponding threaded hole 253, thereby reducing the space occupied by the squat rack and reducing the difficulty of storage.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the auxiliary lighting device 3 includes a bracket 31, a screw 32, a battery 33, a light 34, a transparent shell 35, and a knob 36. The bracket 31 is installed on one side of the movable frame 22. The screw 32 is threadedly installed on the top of the bracket 31. The transparent shell 35 is installed on one side of the screw 32 and inside the bracket 31. The knob 36 is installed on the side of the screw 32 away from the transparent shell 35. Multiple batteries 33 are installed inside the transparent shell 35. The light 34 is installed below the batteries 33.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, staff can use the transparent shell 35 and lighting lamp 34 to provide auxiliary lighting when needed, thereby better meeting the work needs in different situations.

[0035] Specifically, the height of the inner top surface of the bracket 31 is equal to the height of the outer top surface of the transparent shell 35.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, the squat frame can ensure that the inner top surface of the support 31 and the outer top surface of the transparent shell 35 are in close contact with each other, thereby preventing the transparent shell 35 from rotating or shifting during movement and ensuring the normal operation of the work.

[0037] In this embodiment, when auxiliary lighting is required, the operator can rotate the knob 36 in the auxiliary lighting device 3, thereby driving the screw 32 to rotate. The screw 32 is threadedly connected to the bracket 31, and the screw 32 is bearing-connected to the transparent shell 35. The outer top surface of the transparent shell 35 is in close contact with the inner top surface of the bracket 31. Therefore, the screw 32 drives the transparent shell 35 and other structures to move to the required position, activating each lighting lamp 34 to perform auxiliary lighting work, better meeting the work needs in different situations. The battery 33 serves as the power supply.

[0038] The structure and principle of the pile base 1, elastic rope 7, and fixing strap 8 in this utility model have been disclosed in a novel squat frame published in Chinese Patent Application No. 201220286405.2. Its working principle is as follows: When using it, the user first stands on the pile base and secures the upper part of both legs with the fixing strap. The length of the elastic rope can be adjusted. When squatting, the knees are together, and the knees and nose tip should lightly touch the pile. When standing up, the knees and nose tip should not leave the pile. Throughout the process, the body and the pile should be in a straight line, without tilting. Initially, it may be difficult to squat down completely, and the body may easily fall backward. At this time, the safety rope plays a role. Simultaneously, the hands can be extended forward from both sides of the pile. If this is still not possible, the user can also hug the pile while squatting. As the number of repetitions increases, the hands can be gradually brought to the sides of the body, or even behind the body.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When a worker needs to use the squat rack, the worker rotates the rotating plate 23 in the adjusting and folding device 2. The rotating plate 23 drives the lead screw 24 to rotate. The lead screw 24 is threadedly connected to the movable frame 22, and the movable frame 22 is tightly attached to the column 21. Therefore, the lead screw 24 drives the movable frame 22 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the elastic rope 7 and the fixing strap 8. The worker steps onto the foot mat 6 on the pile foundation 1, then ties the two fixing straps 8 to the upper part of both legs, and then performs squat exercises. The anti-slip layer 5 under the support block 4 plays a role in preventing slippage. When the squat rack needs to be stored, the worker can rotate the screw 255 on the fixing bracket 254 in the folding assembly 25 to disengage it from the threaded hole 253 on the rotating block 251. Then, the column 21 and its upper structure are folded down, and the rotating block 251 is connected to the fixed shaft 252 by a bearing. Then, the screw 255 is rotated in the opposite direction to connect with the corresponding threaded hole 253, thereby reducing the space occupied by the squat rack and reducing the difficulty of storage. When auxiliary lighting is needed, the staff can rotate the knob 36 in the auxiliary lighting device 3 to drive the screw 32 to rotate. The screw 32 is threadedly connected to the bracket 31, and the screw 32 is connected to the transparent shell 35 by a bearing. The outer top surface of the transparent shell 35 is in close contact with the inner top surface of the bracket 31. Therefore, the screw 32 drives the transparent shell 35 and other structures to move to the required position and activates each light 34 to carry out auxiliary lighting work, better meeting the work needs in different situations. The battery 33 plays the role of power supply.

[0040] Although 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 alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
