Although the space occupation ratio of a part of the handrail bracket can be reduced, due to the lateral extension of the handrail bracket, the handrail bracket still occupies a large lateral space and is not conducive to handling. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a handrail bracket for a walking machine to solve the problem that the existing handrail bracket of the walking machine cannot be folded laterally and is not conducive to handling.

The handrail bracket includes a base, a handrail member, and a sliding rod. The open end of the handrail member is rotatably connected to the base. One end of the sliding rod is rotatably connected to the base, and the other end is movably connected to the handrail member to achieve longitudinal folding of the handrail bracket. The base includes two parallel fixed rods. The base also includes two parallel folding rods. Both ends of the folding rod are respectively rotatably connected to both ends of the fixed rod. The folding rod is perpendicular to the direction of the handrail member and can be symmetrically folded in the middle to achieve lateral folding of the handrail bracket.
[0006] In some embodiments, the folding rod includes a left connecting rod and a right connecting rod, and the left connecting rod is rotatably connected to the right connecting rod.
[0007] In some embodiments, at least one bottom surface of the left connecting rod and the right connecting rod is provided with a groove, so that during the folding process, one connecting rod can be embedded into the groove to achieve complete lateral folding of the handrail bracket.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] As shown in Figure 1 the accompanying drawings, an embodiment of this specification provides a walking machine armrest bracket, which includes a base 3, an armrest member 1 and a sliding rod 2. The open end of the armrest member 1 is rotatably connected to the base 3. The sliding rods 2 are arranged in parallel on both sides of the base 3. One end of the sliding rod 2 is rotatably connected to the base 3, and the other end is movably connected to the armrest member 1 to realize the longitudinal folding of the armrest bracket. The base 3 includes two parallel fixed rods 31. The base 3 also includes two parallel folding rods 32. Both ends of the folding rod 32 are respectively rotatably connected to both ends of the fixed rod 31. The folding rod 32 is perpendicular to the direction of the armrest member 1 and can be symmetrically folded in the middle to realize the transverse folding of the armrest bracket.
[0023] As an implementation manner, as shown in Figures 1 - 3 the accompanying drawings, in order to fold the armrest bracket more completely in the transverse direction, so that the armrest bracket occupies a smaller space, the folding rod 32 includes a left connecting rod 322 and a right connecting rod 321. The left connecting rod 322 is rotatably connected to the right connecting rod 321. At the same time, at least one bottom surface of the left connecting rod 322 and the right connecting rod 321 is provided with a groove 323, so as to realize that during the folding process, one connecting rod is embedded into the groove to realize the complete transverse folding of the armrest.
[0024] As an implementation manner, when the widths of the left connecting rod 322 and the right connecting rod 321 are the same, grooves 323 need to be formed at the bottoms of both the left connecting rod 322 and the right connecting rod 321. During the folding process, the groove edges of the left connecting rod 322 and the right connecting rod 321 are engaged in a staggered manner to achieve the complete folding of the folding rod 32.
[0025] As another implementation manner, when the widths of the left connecting rod 322 and the right connecting rod 321 are different, a groove 323 is formed at the bottom of the connecting rod with a larger width, and the width of the groove 323 is the same as the width of the connecting rod with a smaller width. During the folding process, the connecting rod with a smaller width is inserted into the groove 323 to achieve the complete folding of the folding rod 32.
[0026] As another implementation manner, in order to improve the stability and safety of the armrest bracket, the folding rod 32 is folded unidirectionally. As Figure 2 shown, at the rotational connection between the two ends of the folding rod 32 and the base 3, a limit connection device is adopted, and limit baffles are provided on the bottom surfaces of the two ends of the folding rod 32, so that the folding rod 32 can only be folded upward. During use, due to the pressure of the upper exerciser, the folding rod cannot be folded, ensuring the stability and safety of the armrest bracket.
[0027] As another implementation manner, the armrest member 1 includes a U-shaped armrest 11, an intermediate connector 12, and a bottom connector 13. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the open end of the U-shaped armrest 11 is inserted and clamped at the upper end of the intermediate connector 12, and a clamping head is provided at the open end of the U-shaped armrest 11, and the clamping head can be telescopic. A plurality of clamping holes are distributed in the sliding direction at the upper end of the intermediate connector 12, so that the U-shaped armrest 11 can slide up and down telescopically and be disassembled. A clamping head is provided at the lower end of the intermediate connector 12, and the clamping head can be telescopic. A clamping hole is provided at the upper end of the bottom connector 13 to achieve the movable connection between the intermediate connector 12 and the bottom connector 13. The entire armrest member 1 can be disassembled into three small parts during the disassembly process, and at the same time, a clamping connection form is adopted, which is convenient for disassembly and installation. By disassembling a large unit into smaller units, when carrying the armrest bracket, the space occupancy rate of the armrest bracket in the longitudinal direction is greatly reduced.
[0028] As another implementation manner, in order to better achieve the longitudinal folding function of the armrest bracket, the sliding rod 2 includes an upper sliding rod 21 and a lower sliding rod 22. As Figure 1 and 2As shown, the lower end of the upper sliding rod 21 is inserted and clamped on the upper end of the lower sliding rod 22. A plurality of clamping holes are provided on the lower end of the upper sliding rod 21 along the sliding direction, and clamping heads corresponding to the clamping holes are provided on the upper end of the lower sliding rod 22 to realize the telescoping of the sliding rod 2. At the same time, the sliding rod 2 and the bottom connecting member 13 of the armrest member 1 are in a sliding connection. When folding, the sliding rod 2 can move up and down along the direction of the armrest member 1 or telescopically move along the direction where the sliding rod 2 is located, realizing the multi-dimensional folding of the armrest bracket.
[0029] As one of such embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the armrest bracket during use, two fixing rods 31 that are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the folding rod 32 are fixedly installed on the base 3. The presence of the fixing rods is beneficial to maintaining the stability of the base 3 during the folding of the folding rod 32 on the base 3 and is conducive to the folding of the folding rod 32.
