Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of sports equipment, in particular to a rowing machine pull rope assembly and a rowing machine. Background Art

[0002] The resistance device in existing rowing machines is often arranged longitudinally. For example, in the rowing machine with application number 202011235780.X, the resistance device is located at the rear half of the rowing machine, below the slide rails, to reduce the overall size. However, the driving and driven wheels are both arranged longitudinally, making them relatively high and prone to tripping when users sit astride. Furthermore, for foldable rowing machines, the longitudinally arranged driving and driven wheels at the rear increase the longitudinal space occupied by the machine after folding, making it difficult to transport and store. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, the utility model provides a rowing machine rope assembly. The rear part of the rowing machine using the assembly is low and not easy to trip.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0005] A rowing machine rope assembly includes a rope and a pull-back wheel. One end of the rope is connected to a handle and maintained in a horizontal direction. A guide wheel is provided in front of the pull-back wheel. The other end of the rope is adjusted to a longitudinal direction by the guide wheel and then connected to the horizontally placed pull-back wheel.

[0006] Preferably, a flywheel is positioned transversely behind the pull-back wheel, and the axes of the guide wheel and the flywheel are parallel to the axis of the pull-back wheel. That is, when the rowing machine is placed on the ground, the axes of the pull-back wheel, the guide wheel, and the flywheel are all perpendicular to the ground. When the transverse pull rope passes over the surface of the guide wheel, the guide wheel adjusts the pull rope to a longitudinal orientation before connecting it to the pull-back wheel. The transversely positioned wheels can significantly reduce the longitudinal space occupied by the rear portion of the rowing machine. For a foldable rowing machine, the smaller the longitudinal space occupied by the rear portion, the smaller the volume of the folded machine.

[0007] Preferably, the upper end of the pull rope is connected to the handle after passing through the instrument tube, and the lower end is guided by the pulley group and kept passing through the instrument tube horizontally, and then adjusted to the longitudinal direction by the guide wheel and connected to the pull-back wheel. This ensures that when the handle pulls the pull rope, the pull rope can always remain in a horizontal state in the instrument tube.

[0008] Preferably, the pulley and the flywheel are connected via a belt.

[0009] The utility model also provides a rowing machine, which includes the rowing machine rope assembly, wherein the guide wheel, the pull-back wheel and the flywheel are transversely installed in a shell at the rear of the rowing machine.

[0010] The useful effects of the present invention are:

[0011] Since the present invention adds a guide wheel in front of the pull-back wheel, the horizontal pull rope is adjusted to the longitudinal direction through the guide wheel, so that the pull-back wheel and the flywheel only need to be placed laterally behind the guide wheel, which greatly reduces the space occupied by the rear part of the rowing machine in the longitudinal direction. That is, the low rear shell prevents the user from tripping when sitting astride.

[0012] The rowing machine pull rope assembly is also particularly suitable for foldable rowing machines. After folding, the instrument tube and the rear shell are close together. Since the rear shell of the rowing machine is shorter, the overall height of the rowing machine after folding is also smaller, which is more convenient for transportation and storage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0013] The present invention will be described by way of examples with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

[0014] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the utility model;

[0015] Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the lower part of the instrument tube;

[0016] Figure 3 Diagram of a rowing machine. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.

[0018] In the description of the utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", "front end", "rear end", "two ends", "one end", "the other end", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0019] In the description of the utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "provided with," "connected," etc., should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be internal communication between two components; a fixed connection can be welding, screwing, or gluing. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figure 1-2 The rowing machine cable assembly shown includes a cable 1 and a pulley 2. The upper end of the cable 1 passes through an instrument tube 3 and is connected to a handle 4. The lower end is guided by a pulley assembly 7 and then remains horizontally extended out of the instrument tube 3. A guide pulley 5 is provided in front of the pulley 2. The other end of the cable 1 is adjusted longitudinally by the guide pulley 5 and then connected to the transversely positioned pulley 2. A transversely positioned flywheel 6 is connected to the rear of the pulley 2 via a belt. The axes of the guide pulley 5 and the flywheel 6 are parallel to the axis of the pulley 2. That is, when the rowing machine is placed on the ground, the axes of the pulley, guide pulley, and flywheel are all perpendicular to the ground. When the transverse cable passes over the guide pulley, the guide pulley adjusts it longitudinally before connecting it to the pulley. The transversely positioned pulleys significantly reduce the longitudinal space occupied by the rear portion of the rowing machine, making the rear housing low and preventing users from tripping when sitting astride.

[0022] Example 2

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment is a rowing machine with an instrument tube 3 that can be rotated and folded backward. It includes the rowing machine rope assembly described in Example 1. The guide wheel 5, the pull-back wheel 2, and the flywheel 6 are installed in the housing 9 at the rear of the rowing machine. The specific installation method can be any method that facilitates their rotation. Reference can be made to existing wheel installation methods, such as the installation method of the driving and driven wheels in the resistance device of the rowing machine with application number 202011235780.X. However, the wheels in that rowing machine are installed longitudinally, while the pull-back wheel and flywheel in this rowing machine are installed transversely due to the presence of the guide wheel. Although the installation direction is different, the principle of wheel rotation in the resistance device of the rowing machine is the same. The folding method of the rowing machine can also refer to the folding mechanism of existing foldable rowing machines, such as the coffee table fitness device with application number 200620097323.8.

[0024] After the instrument tube is folded, the instrument tube and the rear shell are close to each other. Since the rear shell of the rowing machine is shorter, the overall height of the rowing machine is also smaller after folding, which is more convenient for transportation and storage.

[0025] The above description is based on the present invention. Based on the above description, relevant personnel can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content of the specification. Its technical scope must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
