[0027] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] The utility model provides a seat cushion adjustment mechanism, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the fitness equipment comprises a fixed bracket 1, a sliding member 2, a telescopic cylinder 3, a positioning pin 5, and a connecting rod mechanism 8. The fixed bracket 1 is the main component supporting the ground and the fitness equipment body. The sliding member 2 is used to slide the seat cushion 10 to the fixed bracket 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the slider 2 includes a front cover 21 and a rear cover 22, which are fixedly connected to each other by fasteners such as bolts. The front cover 21 and the rear cover 22 surround the outer periphery of the fixed bracket 1. The telescopic cylinder 3 has one fixed end and one output end connected to the rear cover 22, while the other end is connected to the fixed bracket 1. When the telescopic cylinder 3 is in operation, it drives the slider 2 to slide up and down relative to the fixed bracket 1.

[0030] The seat cushion 10 is mounted on the sliding member 2 through the assembly component 4. The specific structure is as follows: Figure 3As shown, the assembly component 4 includes a vertical plate 41 and an inclined plate 42 . The vertical plate 41 is fixed to the front cover 21 of the slider 2 . Two inclined plates 42 are vertically fixed to the vertical plate 41 . The seat cushion 10 is mounted on the inclined plates 42 .

[0031] To facilitate the sliding of slider 2, this design features slide rails 12 extending along the height of fixed bracket 1. To enhance structural stability, a slide rail 12 is positioned symmetrically on each side of fixed bracket 1. Correspondingly, a pulley assembly 7 is positioned on the front cover 21 of slider 2, corresponding to the slide rails 12. Each pulley assembly 7 includes four pulleys, each mounted on a slide rail 12. Driven by the telescopic cylinder 3, slider 2 moves along fixed bracket 1, and the pulleys move along the slide rails 12.

[0032] A locking mechanism is provided between the sliding member 2 and the fixed bracket 1. The locking mechanism includes a plurality of locating holes 11 and locating pins 5. These locating holes 11 are provided on the fixed bracket 1 and are spaced apart along the height direction of the fixed bracket 1. The locating pins 5 are provided on the sliding member 2 and move synchronously with the sliding member 2. The locating pins 5 are installed via a pin holder 6. The pin holder 6 is inserted through the vertical plate 41 and the front cover 21 and is fixed relative to the front cover 21. The pin holder 6 has a movable cavity 61 extending therethrough, and the locating pins 5 are movable within this movable cavity 61.

[0033] The outer end of the positioning pin 5 is connected to a connecting rod mechanism 8. The connecting rod mechanism 8 is used to drive the positioning pin 5 to move and insert into the positioning hole 11, thereby limiting the sliding member 2 from sliding relative to the fixed bracket 1; or to drive the positioning pin 5 out of the positioning hole 11, so that the sliding member 2 can slide freely relative to the fixed bracket 1. In this embodiment, Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the link mechanism 8 includes a rocker 81 and a connecting rod 82. The rotating end of the rocker 81 is rotatably connected to the slant plate 42, while the inner end of the connecting rod 82 is hinged to the positioning pin 5, and the outer end of the connecting rod 82 is hinged to the swing end of the rocker 81. In this way, when the rocker 81 rotates around its rotating end, as shown in FIG. Figures 4 to 7 As shown at point A, the swing end will swing, driving the connected connecting rod 82 to move, and further driving the positioning pin 5 to move, so as to be inserted into or removed from the positioning hole 11.

[0034] As a further improvement to the structure, the middle portion of the locating pin 5 extends radially outward to form a step 51. An elastic member 9 is provided between the step 51 of the locating pin 5 and the movable cavity 61. One end of the elastic member 9 abuts against the step 51, and the other end abuts against the end of the movable cavity 61 away from the locating hole 11. When an external force is applied to the connecting rod mechanism 8 to move the locating pin 5 away from the locating hole 11, the locating pin 5 will cause the elastic member 9 to deform. When the external force applied to the connecting rod mechanism 8 is removed, the locating pin 5 is acted upon by the restoring force of the elastic member 9 and will be inserted into the locating hole 11 again. The elastic member 9 can also continuously press the locating pin 5 in the locating hole 11, reducing the possibility of the locating pin 5 loosening or detaching from the locating pin 5 in the non-operating state, thereby improving the stability of the seat cushion 10 in use.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the positioning pin 5, the pin seat 6 and the connecting rod mechanism 8 are all hidden in the space enclosed by the vertical plate 41 and the two inclined plates 42 of the assembly component 4. This can avoid unnecessary interference and make the appearance of the product more beautiful.

[0036] Furthermore, a gear mark 13 is provided on the side of the positioning hole 11 on the fixing bracket 1, such as Figure 1 As shown, specifically, there are digital markings, which can provide users with clear height gear instructions.

[0037] In this embodiment, the telescopic cylinder 3 is preferably a single-acting cylinder. The working principle of the single-acting cylinder is as follows: when compressed air is injected into the working chamber, the piston and the piston rod 32 are pushed to move in one direction; and when it is necessary to return, the piston and the piston rod 32 are pulled back to their original position by external force. Figure 3 As shown, the cylinder body 31 of the single-acting cylinder is connected to the rear cover 22 , and the piston rod 32 of the single-acting cylinder is connected to the fixed bracket 1 .

[0038] The working principle of the air cushion adjustment mechanism of the utility model is as follows:

[0039] Figure 4 The seat cushion is shown in the lowered position with the retaining pin locked.

[0040] When the seat cushion 10 needs to be raised, the rocker 81 is manually moved upwards, and the rocker 81 swings around point A to pull the connecting rod and the positioning pin 5 outwards until the positioning pin 5 is completely out of the positioning hole 11. At this time, Figure 5As shown, the sliding member 2 and the fixing bracket 1 are in an unfixed and freely movable state. The air pressure in the cylinder 31 applies a downward thrust to the piston rod 32, and the reaction force pushes the cylinder 31 together with the rear cover 22 of the sliding member 2 to move upward, thereby driving the seat cushion 10 to rise. After the seat cushion 10 rises to the required height, or when the cylinder 31 moves to the extreme position, the rocker arm 81 is released, the positioning pin 5 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 11, and the seat cushion 10 no longer moves, that is, the height adjustment operation of the seat cushion 10 is completed. The state is as shown in FIG. Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown.

[0041] When the seat cushion 10 needs to be lowered, the rocker 81 is manually moved upward to disengage the positioning pin 5 from the positioning hole 11. Then, the user presses the seat cushion 10 downward by his own weight or external force. The seat cushion 10 drives the cylinder 31 and the sliding member 2 to move downward. After the seat cushion 10 drops to the desired height, the rocker 81 is released, the positioning pin 5 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole 11, and the seat cushion 10 no longer moves. This completes the lowering operation of the seat cushion 10. Figure 6 to Figure 4 shown.
