DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] To further illustrate various embodiments, the present invention is provided with accompanying drawings. These drawings form part of the disclosure of this invention and are primarily used to illustrate the embodiments and, in conjunction with the relevant description in the specification, to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. By referring to these drawings, those skilled in the art will understand other possible implementations and the advantages of this invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar reference numerals are generally used to represent similar components.

[0024] See Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the utility model discloses a sliding machine, including a frame 1, the frame 1 includes a slide rail 11, a support rod 12, and a connecting rod 13, there are two slide rails 11, the upper ends of the slide rails 11 and the support rod 12 are connected by the connecting rod 13 and the two form a certain angle, the lower ends of the slide rails 11 and the support rod 12 are respectively provided with a foot rod 14, and the two ends of the foot rod 14 are respectively provided with a foot sleeve 141, and the slide machine is maintained stable by the frame 1.

[0025] An armrest assembly 2 and a pedal assembly 3 are provided on the frame 1. The pedal assembly 3 is used for the user to step on and apply force to it so that it slides back and forth along the slide rail 11 of the frame 1. The armrest assembly 2 is used for the user to hold on to. The armrest assembly 2 and the pedal assembly 3 are respectively provided with two groups. One group of pedal assemblies 3 is correspondingly arranged on one slide rail 11. The direction in which the two slide rails 11 are arranged at intervals is defined as the left and right direction. The two groups of pedal assemblies 3 and the two groups of armrest assemblies 2 are respectively arranged at intervals in the left and right directions. Each group of armrest assemblies 2 is correspondingly linked to a group of pedal assemblies 3 on the same side as the armrest assembly 2, so that the armrest assembly 2 and the pedal assembly 3 on the same side move synchronously.

[0026] See Figure 1 As shown, the direction the user faces when standing on the pedal assembly 3 and using the stepper is defined as front, and the opposite direction is back. The direction of the armrest assembly 2 away from the pedal assembly 3 is defined as up, and the opposite direction is down.

[0027] The armrest assembly 2 swings. More specifically, as the pedal assembly 3 slides back and forth, the armrest assembly 2 swings back and forth. The slide rail 11 is tilted forward from bottom to top, and the upper end of the armrest assembly 2 is provided with a grip portion 201. As the pedal assembly 3 slides upward and forward along the slide rail 11, the grip portion 201 of the armrest assembly 2 swings backward and downward, causing the pedal assembly 3 and armrest assembly 2 on the same side to move toward and away from each other. At this time, the user's hands and feet are moving in opposite directions.

[0028] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the pedal assembly 3 includes a pedal portion 31 and a roller component 32. The pedal portion 31 is for a user to step on. The roller component 32 is disposed on the slide rail 11 and moves downward along the slide rail 11 when the user steps on it, thereby driving the pedal portion 31 to slide downward. The two sets of pedal assemblies are provided with a transmission rope assembly 4. The transmission rope assembly 4 includes a steel wire rope 41 and a pulley 42. The pulley 42 is disposed between the two slide rails 11 and located at the upper end of the slide rails 11. The ends of the steel wire rope 41 are respectively connected to the roller components 32 of the two pedal assemblies 3. Therefore, when one set of pedal assemblies 3 slides downward under the action of the user's stepping on it, the other set of pedal assemblies 3 slides upward under the pulling action of the transmission rope assembly 4.

[0029] The structures of the two groups of armrest assemblies 2 are mirror-symmetrical in the left-right direction, and one group of armrest assemblies 2 is taken as an example for description.

[0030] The armrest assembly 2 includes a first connecting rod 21 and a second connecting rod 22. The first end of the first connecting rod 21 is pivotally connected to the pedal assembly 3, the second end of the first connecting rod 21 is pivotally connected to the first end of the second connecting rod 22, and the middle portion of the second connecting rod 22 is pivotally connected to the frame 1, thereby forming a linkage between the armrest assembly 2 and the pedal assembly 3. A grip portion 201 for a user to grasp is provided at the second end of the second connecting rod 22, and the grip portion 201 swings under the linkage action of the pedal assembly 3. The armrest assembly 2 is formed by pivoting the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22, and the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22 are respectively pivotally connected to the pedal assembly 3 and the frame 1 to form multiple rotation points, thereby achieving linkage between the armrest assembly 2 and the pedal assembly 3. The structure is simple, easy to implement, and reliable in operation.

[0031] The second connecting rod of this embodiment is spliced together by two rods, namely a straight rod 221 and a curved rod 222. The lower end of the straight rod 221 forms the first end of the second connecting rod 22 and is pivotally connected to the first connecting rod 21. The upper end of the straight rod 221 is sleeved with the curved rod 222, and the upper end of the straight rod 221 is also connected to a sleeve 223, which is sleeved on the end of the connecting rod 13 of the frame 1, thereby forming a pivotal connection between the second connecting rod 22 and the frame 1. Since the slide rail 11 is tilted upward and forward, the straight rods 221 of the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22 are tilted. If the second connecting rod 22 is also a tilted straight rod structure, the grip portion 201 provided at its second end is further extended forward, so that the grip portion 201 is very far away from the frame 1 and the pedal assembly 3. When using the treadmill, the user must stretch both hands forward, which will make the user more easily fatigued during exercise and even cause the user to move in a posture tending to lean forward, which is detrimental to the user's exercise comfort. The curved rod 222 of the second connecting rod 22 is bent from bottom to top toward the rear, so that the grip portion 201 is closer to the user, and the curved rod 22 forms an arc segment of the second connecting rod 22. In other embodiments, the arc segment of the second connecting rod 22 can also be formed by bending one section of a long rod.

[0032] In the left and right directions, the direction in which any group of pedal assemblies 3 faces away from the other group of pedal assemblies 3 is defined as the outside, and the armrest assembly 1 is arranged on the outside of the pedal assembly 3 to prevent the movement of the armrest assembly 2 from interfering with the frame 1, and on the other hand, to ensure that the armrest assembly 2 has sufficient installation space.

[0033] The second connecting rod 22 of the armrest assembly 2 also has a curved structure 202, with the grip portion 201 formed at one end of the curved structure 202, thereby positioning the grip portion 201 away from the frame. In this embodiment, the curved structure 202 of each armrest assembly 2 curves away from the other armrest assembly 2, meaning the two armrest assemblies 2 curve outward, further increasing the distance between the two grip portions 201. Furthermore, the armrest assemblies 2 are positioned outside the pedal assembly 3, further increasing the distance between the two grip portions 201. This allows the user to fully extend their arms and place their hands at their sides during exercise, improving comfort and stability.

[0034] In other embodiments, the curved structure 202 may also be bent backward so that the two gripping portions 201 extend toward the direction of the user.

[0035] The armrest assembly 2 of this embodiment is linked to the pedal assembly 3 on the same side, so that the armrest assembly 2 and the pedal assembly 3 on the same side are linked. In other embodiments, the armrest assembly 2 can also be linked to the pedal assembly 3 on the opposite side, so that the armrest assembly 2 moves as the pedal assembly 3 on the opposite side slides.

[0036] In addition, the armrest assembly 2 and the pedal assembly 3 on the same side of this embodiment move in opposite directions toward or away from each other. In other embodiments, the armrest assembly 2 and the pedal assembly 3 on the same side may also move in the same direction. In this case, the user uses the stepper to exercise with the same hand and foot.

[0037] In addition to the above-mentioned linkage method, the armrest assembly 2 and the pedal assembly 3 can also be linked by other mechanisms, such as a roller chain structure; accordingly, the movement of the armrest assembly 2 is not limited to swinging, but can also slide up and down with the help of a track.

[0038] The use process of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the user steps on the pedal portion 31 of one of the pedal assemblies 3 (the pedal assembly 3 on the left in the figure), the pedal assembly 3 slides down along the slide rail 11, and the pedal assembly 3 on the other side (the pedal assembly 3 on the right in the figure) slides upward; the pedal assembly 3 sliding downward (the pedal assembly 3 on the left in the figure) drives the first end of the first connecting rod 21 to move downward, so that the angle between the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22 increases, and the gripping portion 201 of the armrest assembly 2 swings forward (i.e., in the direction away from the user); the armrest assembly 2 on the other side (the pedal assembly 3 on the right in the figure) moves in the opposite direction, and the first end of the first connecting rod 21 on this side moves upward with the pedal assembly 3, so that the angle between the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22 decreases, and the gripping portion 201 of the armrest assembly 2 swings backward (i.e., in the direction close to the user), and the stepper is formed. Figure 3 The user applies force to the pedal assembly 3 at the upper end of the slide rail 11 (the pedal assembly 3 on the right side in the figure), and the pedal assembly 3 on that side slides downward, and the gripping portion 201 of the handrail assembly 2 on the same side swings forward, and the pedal assembly 3 at the lower end of the slide rail 1 (the pedal assembly 3 on the side in the figure) slides upward, and the gripping portion 201 of the handrail assembly 2 on the same side swings backward, and the stepper forms a Figure 4 The user applies force to the two pedal assemblies 3 alternately, and finally forms a reciprocating synchronous movement of the hands and feet in opposite directions.

[0039] Although the present invention is specifically shown and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the remaining undescribed parts are prior art, and that various changes made to the present invention in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
