[0035] The technical features of the present invention are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0036] As shown in the figure, the utility model is an indoor treadmill for horses, which includes a chassis assembly 1 and a runway assembly 2 , wherein the runway assembly 2 is arranged on the chassis assembly 1 .
[0037] In the present application, the main body of the chassis assembly 1 is welded into a rectangular frame using square steel pipes, and a rubber seat is installed at the lower part of the chassis assembly 1.
[0038] The runway assembly 2 includes a runway bracket 201 , and the track of the runway assembly 2 is arranged around the runway bracket 201 . Track limit blocks 202 are respectively provided on both sides of the lower surface of the runway bracket 201 . The track limit blocks 202 are installed on both sides of the track of the runway assembly 2 .
[0039] In this embodiment, the track assembly 2 can be a crawler-type treadmill, or it can be a conveyor-type treadmill, or other treadmill configuration. The specific configuration of the track assembly 2 is similar to conventional household treadmills, comprising a main frame, an annular crawler-type or conveyor-type running belt, a driving roller, a driven roller, and a power mechanism. The power mechanism is in driving connection with the driving roller. The driving and driven rollers penetrate the annular ring of the running belt and are in tight contact with the annular inner surface of the running belt. The driving and driven rollers are parallel and spaced apart and rotatably connected to the main frame. In this embodiment, a plurality of parallel and spaced idler rollers can also be provided below the running belt, supporting the running belt and rotatably connected to the main frame.
[0040] In this embodiment, a lifting hydraulic cylinder 7 is mounted on each side of the track assembly 2. The cylinder bodies of the lifting hydraulic cylinders 7 are hingedly connected to the chassis assembly 1, and the piston ends of the lifting hydraulic cylinders 7 are hingedly connected to the sides of the track assembly 2. By extending and retracting the pistons of the lifting hydraulic cylinders 7, one end of the track assembly 2 is raised or lowered, allowing the track surface of the track assembly 2 to transition from a flat surface to a sloped surface, facilitating adaptive training for horses.
[0041] Runway guardrails 3 are fixed to either side of chassis assembly 1, with runway assembly 2 positioned between them. Runway guardrails 3 are constructed from folded steel pipes, which are then covered with acrylic sheeting. The lower ends of the steel pipes are threadedly connected to the sides of the chassis assembly 1's main rectangular frame via bolts.
[0042] Rein eyelets 4 are mounted on the track guardrails 3, with the rein eyelets 4 positioned opposite each other on either side of the chassis assembly 1. The track guardrails 3 are provided with a plurality of threaded holes, to which the rein eyelets 4 are bolted. In this embodiment, all threaded holes are spaced horizontally, with a rein eyelet 4 mounted in each hole. This facilitates adjustment of the rein binding position to accommodate horses of varying sizes.
[0043] In addition, an arresting cable is set between the runway guardrails 3 on both sides of the chassis assembly 1. The arresting cable can use a shorter horse rein, and a rein eye 4 is tied to each end of the rein. Then, the rein eye 4 at both ends of the arresting cable is threaded into the threaded holes of the two runway guardrails 3, forming a barrier in front of or behind the horse to prevent the horse from moving forward or backward, thereby preventing the horse from running out of the area of the runway assembly 2 prematurely during training.
[0044] A guard plate 5 is installed at the lower part of the runway guardrail 3, and the structure of the guard plate 5 is shown in the figure.
[0045] The two guardrails 3 have strips of protective plates 5 located on either side of the track assembly 2. These plates extend along the length of the track assembly 2, covering the gap between the guardrails 3 and the track assembly 2. The plates 5 are arranged in a ramp-like configuration. The plates are covered with acrylic or rubber padding, a protective surface designed to protect horses' hooves. The ramp design allows horses' hooves to slide back onto the track assembly 2 when they step into the area between the guardrails 3 and the track assembly 2.
[0046] The track assembly 2 has upper and lower ramps 6 at each end. One end of each ramp 6 engages with the end of the track assembly 2, while the other end of each ramp 6 is tilted downward. The ramps 6 are welded together into a rectangular frame made of steel pipes, and then covered with wood, steel, acrylic, or other materials to facilitate the horses' entry and exit.
[0047] To facilitate staff assistance during horse training, a platform 8 is installed outside the track guardrail 3, allowing staff to climb up and assist. The platform is welded from steel pipes into a strip-shaped frame, which is then bolted to the side of the chassis assembly 1 and covered with wood, steel, acrylic, or other materials. The platform frame is installed above the ground, making it convenient for staff to observe and assist with horse training.
[0048] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by ordinary technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
