Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment, in particular to a dumbbell with adjustable weight. Background Art

[0002] A dumbbell is a simple device used for enhancing muscle strength training. Its main material is cast iron, and some are wrapped with a layer of rubber. Its purpose is for muscle strength training and compound muscle movement training. For patients with muscle weakness caused by motor paralysis, pain, long-term inactivity, etc., holding a dumbbell, they can use the weight of the dumbbell to perform active anti-resistance exercises to train muscle strength.

[0003] In an existing dumbbell with adjustable weight, multiple counterweights are installed through fastening bolts. However, during exercise, frequent friction between the counterweights will cause wear on the counterweights and the fastening bolts, resulting in loosening between the counterweights and potentially causing the counterweights to fall off, posing a safety hazard. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a dumbbell with adjustable weight, which can effectively prevent the counterweights from falling off and reduce potential safety hazards.

[0005] The technical solution for achieving the above purpose is: a dumbbell with adjustable weight, including a grip. A hexagonal prism bracket is respectively connected to both the left and right ends of the grip. A first installation groove is formed in each of the hexagonal prism brackets. A first support rod is provided in each of the first installation grooves. A first counterweight and a second counterweight are slidably connected to the first support rod. A first threaded rod is connected to the first support rod. A support plate is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod. The support plate is in close contact with the second counterweight and also in close contact with the corresponding hexagonal prism bracket. Two locking components for assisting in fixing the first counterweight and the second counterweight are mirror-symmetrically formed on each of the hexagonal prism brackets.

[0006] Preferably, a first support hole is formed in the first counterweight, and a corresponding first through hole is formed in the second counterweight. Two threaded holes are mirror-symmetrically provided on the support plate. A second threaded rod is threadedly connected to each of the threaded holes. The second threaded rod passes through the first through hole and is in close contact with the inner wall of the first support hole.

[0007] Preferably, the locking assembly includes a sliding plate, two springs and two second support rods. Two second mounting grooves are mirror - symmetrically formed on each hexagonal prism bracket. Two of the springs are mirror - symmetrically arranged in the second mounting grooves. One end of each spring is connected to the hexagonal prism bracket, and the other end of the spring is connected to a sliding plate. Two of the second support rods are mirror - symmetrically connected to the sliding plate. Two second through - holes are mirror - symmetrically formed in the second mounting grooves. Corresponding second support holes are formed on the first counterweight and the second counterweight. The second support rods pass through the corresponding second through - holes and are in close contact with the inner walls of the corresponding second support holes.

[0008] Preferably, the handle is provided with anti - slip patterns.

[0009] Preferably, two holding grooves are mirror - symmetrically formed on each sliding plate.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: A support plate is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod. The support plate is in close contact with the second counterweight and also in close contact with the corresponding hexagonal prism bracket. By squeezing the first counterweight and the second counterweight by the support plate, the first counterweight and the second counterweight are fixed together in the first mounting groove. Then, under the action of the spring force, the two second support rods are inserted into the second support holes, thereby assisting in fixing the first counterweight and the second counterweight. This structure can ensure the stability of the fixation of the first counterweight and the second counterweight, effectively prevent the first counterweight and the second counterweight from loosening, and prevent the first counterweight and the second counterweight from falling off from the hexagonal prism bracket, greatly reducing the safety hazard.

[0016] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Embodiment 1: As Figures 1-3 shown, an adjustable-weight dumbbell includes a grip 1, two hexagonal prism brackets 2, two first support rods 4, two first counterweight blocks 5, two second counterweight blocks 7, two support plates 8, and two locking assemblies.

[0018] Specifically, a hexagonal prism bracket 2 is respectively connected to each of the left and right ends of the grip 1. A first installation groove 3 is formed in each hexagonal prism bracket 2. A first support rod 4 is provided in each first installation groove 3. A first counterweight block 5 and a second counterweight block 7 are slidably connected to the first support rod 4. A first threaded rod 6 is connected to the first support rod 4. A support plate 8 is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 6. By rotating the support plate 8, the support plate 8 can be installed or removed from the first threaded rod 6. The support plate 8 is in close contact with the second counterweight block 7. The first counterweight block 5 and the second counterweight block 7 are fixed together in the first installation groove 3 through the support plate 8. The support plate 8 is also in close contact with the corresponding hexagonal prism bracket 2. Two locking assemblies are mirror-symmetrically arranged on each hexagonal prism bracket 2 for assisting in fixing the first counterweight block 5 and the second counterweight block 7.

[0019] Specifically, a first support hole 10 is formed in the first counterweight block 5. A corresponding first through hole 11 is formed in the second counterweight block 7. Two threaded holes are mirror-symmetrically arranged on the support plate 8. A second threaded rod 9 is threadedly connected to each threaded hole. The second threaded rod 9 passes through the first through hole 11 and is in close contact with the inner wall of the first support hole 10. The second threaded rod 9 can be received into the first through hole 11 and the first support hole 10 through the first through hole 11, ensuring aesthetics. At the same time, the two second threaded rods 9 can fasten the first counterweight block 5.

[0020] Specifically, the locking assembly includes a sliding plate 12, two springs 13 and two second support rods 14. Two second mounting grooves 15 are mirror - image formed on each hexagonal prism bracket 2. Two springs 13 are mirror - image arranged in the second mounting grooves 15. One end of each spring 13 is connected to the hexagonal prism bracket 2, and the other end of the spring 13 is connected to a sliding plate 12. Two second support rods 14 are mirror - image connected to the sliding plate 12.
