[0036] It should also be noted here that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention due to unnecessary details, only structures and / or processing steps closely related to the scheme of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.
[0037] In addition, it should be noted that the terms "comprises", "includes" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or apparatus.
[0038] like Figure 1-9 A foldable treadmill includes a treadmill 100, two symmetrically arranged handrails 300, and a hollow column 200 supported between the treadmill 100 and the handrails 300. The column 200 includes a first column end 201 and a second column end 202. The first column end 201 is rotatably connected to the treadmill 100, and the second column end 202 is rotatably connected to the handrail 300, so that the column 200 and the handrail 300 can be folded. The treadmill 100 includes a retractable locking pin 106, which is suitable for extending into the first column end 201 to limit its rotation relative to the treadmill 100. When the handrail 300 rotates, the locking pin 106 is synchronously driven by a pull wire device to withdraw from the first column end 201 to release the lock. The handrail 300 includes a movably arranged handle 301, the handle 301 includes a locking tooth 309, and the second column end 202 includes a locking groove 211. The locking tooth 309 is engaged with the locking groove 211 to limit the rotation of the second column end 202 relative to the handrail 300.
[0039] In this embodiment, the cable pulling device includes a cable pulling tube head 401 and a cable 402. The treadmill 100 includes a first frame, a pedal 101, an electromechanical device 102, and a first housing 103. Part of the first frame is suitable for supporting the pedal 101, and part of the first frame and the first housing 103 enclose an electromechanical cavity suitable for accommodating the electromechanical device 102. The first frame includes two parallel first longitudinal rods 104 and a first cross bar 105 supported at the ends of the two first longitudinal rods 104. The first longitudinal rods 104 include guide grooves 107 suitable for guiding the locking pin 106 to slide in a direction perpendicular to the first longitudinal rods 104. The first frame includes a first mating bracket 108 mounted on the first cross bar 105. A first return spring 109 is abutted between the first mating bracket 108 and the locking pin 106. The first return spring 109 is suitable for driving the locking pin 106 to engage and retain the first column end 201. The cable gland 401 is mounted to the first mating bracket 108 via a nut. One end of the cable 402 is adapted to pass through the cable gland 401 and connect to the locking pin 106 disposed remotely therefrom. The two cable assemblies are disposed crosswise in the electromechanical cavity. Furthermore, the first housing 103 includes a threading hole 110 for the cable assemblies to pass through.
[0040] In some other embodiments, the first column end 201 is provided with a reversing wheel, which is suitable for guiding the wire pulling device to extend into the electromechanical cavity.

Specifically, the first column end 201 includes a first rotating disk 203 disposed facing the first longitudinal rod 104, and the first rotating disk 203 is hingedly connected to the first longitudinal rod 104. A first limit column 111 extends perpendicularly from the outside of the first longitudinal rod 104. The first rotating disk 203 includes a positioning hole 206 and a first limit groove 207. The first limit column 111 slidably cooperates with the first limit groove 207 to limit the maximum rotation range of the first column end 201 to 60°. The first limit groove 207 includes a first starting end 208 and a first ending end 209.
[0042] When the first limit column 111 abuts the first starting end 208, the positioning hole 206 is aligned with the locking pin 106, and the column 200 is in an expanded state; when the first limit column 111 abuts the first ending end 209, the positioning hole 206 is staggered with the locking pin 106, and the column 200 is in a folded state.
[0043] In this embodiment, the first limit groove 207 includes a limit rib 210 arranged adjacent to the first starting end 208. The limit rib 210 is suitable for preventing the first limit column 111 from sliding out directly from the first starting end 208. This design is intended to prevent the column 200 from folding downward rapidly under the action of gravity after contact locking, thereby preventing the user's wrist, arm, etc. from receiving a huge impact in a short period of time, and preventing the armrest 300 from falling out of the hand and causing structural damage.
[0044] In this embodiment, the second column end 202 is hinged to the outside of the armrest 300. Specifically, the second column end 202 includes a second turntable 204 mounted on a second matching bracket 205 of the second turntable 204. The armrest 300 includes a second frame 302 and a second shell 303 suitable for covering the second frame 302. The second frame 302 includes two parallel second longitudinal rods 304. The second longitudinal rods 304 are relatively fixedly mounted with a third turntable 305. The handle 301 includes a fourth turntable 306 pivoted to the third turntable 305 and a gripping portion 307 suitable for extending out of the second shell 303. The gripping portion 307 includes a rubber coating with anti-slip grooves. The second turntable 204 is pivoted to the third turntable 305. The wire tube head 401 is mounted to the second matching bracket 205 via a nut. The other end of the pull wire 402 is suitable for passing through the wire tube head 401 and connecting to the third turntable 305. A second return spring 308 is provided between the fourth rotary disk 306 and the second matching bracket 205 . The second return spring 308 is adapted to drive the lock tooth 309 to engage in the lock slot 211 and retain the lock.
[0045] In this embodiment, the second rotary disk 204 and the fourth rotary disk 306 are arranged in the same plane. The second rotary disk 204 is integrally formed with a locking groove 211 , and the fourth rotary disk 306 is integrally formed with a locking tooth 309 .
[0046] In this embodiment, the third turntable 305 includes a range-limiting arc surface 310, and the second range-limiting column 212 extends from the second turntable 204 facing the third turntable 305. The two ends of the range-limiting arc surface 310 are respectively formed with a second starting end 311 and a second ending end 312. The second range-limiting column 212 slides with the range-limiting arc surface 310 to limit the maximum rotation range of the second column end 202 to 60°.
[0047] When the second limit column 212 abuts the second starting end 311, the lock tooth 309 can be inserted into the lock groove 211, and the armrest 300 is in the unfolded state, that is, the armrest 300 is horizontally set; when the first limit column 111 abuts the first end end 209, the lock tooth 309 completely disengages the lock groove 211, and the armrest 300 is in the folded state.
[0048] Furthermore, the lock tooth 309 includes a first locking surface 313, and the lock slot 211 includes a second locking surface 213. The first locking surface 313 and the second locking surface 213 form an abutting engagement perpendicular to the rotational direction of the second rotary disk 204. The lock tooth 309 includes a first guide surface 314, and the lock slot 211 includes a second guide surface 214. The first guide surface 314 and the second guide surface 214 slidably engage with each other to guide the lock tooth 309 into the lock slot 211. When the lock tooth 309 is completely out of the lock slot 211, the first locking surface 313 and the second locking surface 213 are no longer in contact.
[0049] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
