[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , this embodiment provides a stair climber with a sweat diversion structure, including a stair climber body and a guard plate 1 installed inside both sides of the stair climber body. Among them, the stair climber body includes a first side plate 5, a second side plate 6, a third side plate 7, a bottom plate 8 and a pedal 9. The first side plate 5 and the second side plate 6 are located on both sides and are oppositely arranged above the bottom plate 8 to form an exercise space. Inside the exercise space, a number of pedals 9 driven by a driving mechanism are installed. The third side plate 7 is located behind the first side plate 5 and the second side plate 6. The driving mechanism adopts the driving mechanism commonly used in stair climbers in this field, as long as it can drive the pedal 9 to simulate stairs, which is the prior art. For example, the patent publication numbers are CN102728025B, CN107303419B, etc., so no more details will be described here to facilitate users to perform stair climbing exercises inside the exercise space;

[0033] Please refer to the attached Figure 3, a specific description of the shield plate 1 in this embodiment is given. The shield plate 1 is bent along the side wall of the staircase machine body. An infrared transmitter 2 is installed at the bent part of the shield plate 1 near the front end of the staircase machine body. The infrared transmitter 2 emits infrared signals. An infrared receiver is installed at a position corresponding to the infrared transmitter 2 inside the second side plate 6 to receive the infrared signals emitted by the infrared transmitter 2. When the user's limb touches the infrared signal, the controller installed on the staircase machine will be activated, making the pedal 9 level, and further driving the pedal 9 to move through the driving mechanism to simulate the stairs;

[0034] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 3 , the surface of the shield plate 1 is set to a rough frosted texture. Flow guiding ribs 1 3 and flow guiding ribs 2 4 are installed along the inner side wall of the shield plate 1. Both the flow guiding ribs 1 3 and the flow guiding ribs 2 4 are arranged along the direction of the shield plate 1. One end of the flow guiding ribs 1 3 and the flow guiding ribs 2 4 are arranged in parallel, and the other end bends downward near the bent part of the shield plate 1 to form a flow guiding structure for guiding the flow of sweat. The shield plate 1 is fixed inside the staircase machine through the installation components. When the user performs climbing exercise, the sweat is thrown onto the shield plate 1 through the movement of the limbs. The sweat moves downward along the shield plate 1 and slides onto the upper part of the flow guiding rib 2 4 or the flow guiding rib 1 3. Taking the process of the flow guiding rib 2 4 guiding the sweat as an example, after the sweat slides onto the surface of the flow guiding rib 2 4, it is blocked by the flow guiding rib 2 4 and will not continue to drip downward and enter the machine interior, thus avoiding corrosion of the internal structure of the staircase machine, such as the chain. The sweat is guided by the flow guiding rib 2 4 and slides forward along the shape of the flow guiding rib 2 4, and drips downward at the bent part, so that the sweat drips to the outside of the machine.

[0035] Please refer to the appendix Figures 4-5 , a specific description of the installation method of the shield plate 1 in this embodiment is given. The installation components include a first card slot 10 and a first card block 11. A skirt board is arranged on the side wall of the shield plate 1 close to the first side plate 5. A number of first card slots 10 are arranged along the direction of the shield plate 1 on the skirt board. At a position corresponding to the first card slot 10 on the side wall of the first side plate 5 close to the shield plate 1, an equal number of first card blocks 11 are arranged. The first card block 11 is inserted into the first card slot 10 to form an assembly. During assembly, the shield plate 1 is moved closer to the first side plate 5, and each first card block 11 is inserted into the corresponding first card slot 10 inside, and the shield plate 1 is clamped onto the first side plate 5 to complete the assembly.

[0036] Embodiment 2

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , this embodiment provides another staircase machine with a sweat flow guiding structure. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that another installation component is adopted, which is specifically as follows:

[0038] Please refer to the appendix Figure 6, the installation component includes an insertion block 12 and a slot 13. Two insertion blocks 12 are provided on the side wall of the shield plate 1 close to the first side plate 5. The front end of the insertion block 12 protrudes forward to form a positioning convex block. A slot 13 for receiving the insertion block 12 is opened at the position of the first side plate 5 corresponding to the slot 13. During assembly, the shield plate 1 is moved closer to the first side plate 5, and then the position of the shield plate 1 corresponding to the insertion block 12 is pressed forcefully, so that the insertion block 12 is inserted into the slot 13 to complete the assembly;

[0039] Please refer to the appendix Figure 6 , to further illustrate the installation component in this embodiment, a second clamping block 15 is installed inside the slot 13. The second clamping block 15 can expand and contract inside the slot 13. A second clamping groove 14 is opened on one side of the insertion block 12 corresponding to the second clamping block 15. The second clamping groove 14 is recessed to form an arc-shaped groove. An arc-shaped block protrudes forward from the top of the second clamping block 15. The second clamping block 15 is embedded inside the second clamping groove 14 to form a clamping structure. A receiving cavity 16 is provided on one side of the slot 13. A telescopic rod 17 and a sleeve 18 are installed inside the receiving cavity 16. The sleeve 18 is fixed inside the receiving cavity 16. The telescopic rod 17 can expand and contract inside the sleeve 18. The end of the telescopic rod 17 passes through the receiving cavity 16 and extends into the slot 13 to be fixedly connected with the second clamping block 15. A support rod 20 is installed at the end of the telescopic rod 17 close to the opening position of the receiving cavity 16. A return spring 19 is installed inside the receiving cavity 16 at a position outside the telescopic rod 17 and the sleeve 18. One end of the return spring 19 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the receiving cavity 16, and the other end of the return spring 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support rod 20. A roller 21 is installed at the end of the support rod 20 close to the inner side wall of the inner cavity of the receiving cavity 16 to facilitate the more stable movement of the support rod 20;

[0040] During the process of inserting the insertion block 12 into the slot 13, first, the front end of the insertion block 12 presses the second clamping block 15. Since the surface of the second clamping block 15 is arc-shaped, the insertion block 12 will not be stuck during movement, and the force pressing the second clamping block 15 gradually increases. The second clamping block 15 pushes the telescopic rod 17 to move inside the sleeve 18. At the same time, the return spring 19 is compressed, and the return spring 19 contracts;

[0041] Until the front end of the insertion block 12 is embedded in the bottom of the slot 13, the second clamping block 15 moves to the position of the second clamping groove 14. At this time, the second clamping block 15 returns from the compressed state, and the elastic potential energy accumulated by the return spring 19 is released, thereby pushing the telescopic rod 17 to move forward, and then pushing the second clamping block 15 to move forward, so that the second clamping block 15 automatically inserts into the second clamping groove 14 to complete the clamping;

[0042] When pulling out the insertion block 12, only need to pull out the shield plate 1 forcefully. At this time, the working process of the second clamping block 15 is opposite to the process of the second clamping block 15 when the insertion block 12 is inserted.

[0043] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism and the staircase machine body involved adopt conventional technical means in the art. The supporting control system, solenoid valve and pipeline can also be provided by the manufacturer. In addition, the circuits, electronic components and modules involved in the present utility model are all prior arts and can be fully realized by those skilled in the art without further elaboration. The content protected by the present utility model does not involve improvements to the internal structure and method either.

[0044] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and the descriptions in the specification are only preferred examples of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, the present utility model will have various changes and improvements, and all these changes and improvements fall within the scope of the present utility model claimed.
