Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water sports equipment, in particular to a sliding oar rack and an inflatable water sports device. Background Art

[0002] Among existing water sports, inflatable water sports devices are a popular outdoor activity, attracting a wide range of participants and enthusiasts. Traditional inflatable water sports devices rely on users standing or sitting on them, paddling with handheld paddles in the water to propel the device forward. While this method of exercise can provide some exercise benefits, it also has some significant limitations.

[0003] First, for beginners, standing on an inflatable water sports device for extended periods and maintaining balance is a challenging task. Due to their limited balance, beginners often struggle to focus on paddling technique, which impacts the effectiveness and experience of the exercise. Furthermore, standing for extended periods can lead to fatigue in the leg and lower back muscles, increasing the risk of injury. Secondly, traditional inflatable water sports devices primarily focus on training the upper limbs and core muscles, while the effects on the lower limbs are relatively limited. This unbalanced training approach can lead to overdevelopment of some muscles while undertraining other muscle groups, impacting overall coordination and health.

[0004] In order to overcome these limitations, some improved inflatable water sports device designs have appeared on the market, such as inflatable water sports devices with seats, inflatable water sports devices with adjustable height, etc. However, most of these designs are just simple improvements based on traditional inflatable water sports devices, and do not fundamentally solve the above problems. For example, although inflatable water sports devices with seats can relieve fatigue from standing for a long time, the seats are usually fixed and cannot provide a dynamic exercise experience; while inflatable water sports devices with adjustable height focus more on the personalized needs of users, but do not significantly improve the exercise effect. Therefore, it is necessary to design a sliding paddle rack that can be installed on traditional inflatable water sports devices to provide users with a new, full-body exercise method, thereby improving exercise effects and user experience.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] See Figures 1 to 4 , this embodiment provides a sliding oar rack, which includes a first bracket 10, a second bracket 20, a slide rail 30, a slidable seat 40 and a paddle assembly 50, wherein the first bracket 10 and the second bracket 20 are arranged relatively parallel to each other and the slide rail 30 is provided therebetween, the slidable seat 40 is slidably provided on the slide rail 30, the paddle assembly 50 is provided on the first bracket 10, and the paddle assembly 50 includes two connecting rods 51 arranged upwardly inclined toward one side of the second bracket 20, and a universal rotating member 52 is provided at the end of each of the connecting rods 51, and a paddle is detachably provided on the universal rotating member 52, wherein both sides of the first bracket 10 and the second bracket 20 in the length direction are provided with mounting holes 60, and the mounting holes 60 are used to cooperate with the straps 70 to realize the detachable installation of the sliding oar rack to the inflatable water sports device.

[0027] See Figure 3Preferably, a recessed groove 11 is provided in the middle of the first bracket 10, with one end of the slide rail 30 mounted within the recessed groove 11. A support rod 12 is provided at the top of the second bracket 20, with the other end of the slide rail 30 mounted on the top of the support rod 12. Preferably, the vertical height of the recessed groove 11 is less than the vertical height of the support rod 12. This configuration allows the slide rail 30 to assume an inclined configuration. The inclined slide rail 30 provides a more natural and smooth sliding path for the slidable seat 40. During paddling, as the paddle assembly 50 swings, the slidable seat 40 not only slides back and forth more smoothly on the slide rail 30, but also more fully engages the lower limbs, waist, and core muscles, thereby further enhancing the overall training effect. Furthermore, the inclined slide rail 30 and the slidable seat 40 form a perfect combination, allowing users to maintain a more comfortable posture while paddling in a seated position, helping to reduce physical fatigue caused by prolonged paddling and improving the overall user experience.

[0028] See Figure 3 Furthermore, each end of the first bracket 10 is provided with a mounting position 13. A mounting slot is provided on the side of the connecting rod 51 away from the universal joint 52. The mounting slot is inserted into the mounting position 13 and secured to the first bracket 10 via bolts. During installation, the connecting rod 51 is easily removed and installed by inserting the mounting slot of the connecting rod 51 into the mounting position 13 provided on the first bracket 10 and securing it with bolts. This convenient removal and installation design of the connecting rod 51 allows users to easily perform maintenance, replacement, or upgrades on the connecting rod 51 without requiring complex tools or specialized skills, significantly improving maintenance convenience. When the sliding oar rack is not in use, the user can quickly remove the connecting rod 51 and store or transport it separately from the other components of the sliding oar rack. This not only saves storage space but also facilitates user needs in different scenarios, such as moving from one body of water to another.

[0029] See Figure 1 、 Figure 3 Preferably, two footrests 80 are further included, and the footrests 80 are installed on the slide rail 30 on a side close to the first bracket 10. The addition of the footrests 80 provides the user with an additional support point. Especially during the paddling process, the user can control the body balance more stably by stepping on the footrests 80 with both feet, reduce the instability caused by shaking, and thus enhance the overall paddling stability.

[0030] See Figure 2 as well as Figure 3Preferably, the slide rail 30 includes a first slide rail 31 and a second slide rail 32, and a hinge 33 is provided between the first slide rail 31 and the second slide rail 32. First, the first slide rail 31 and the second slide rail 32 connected by the hinge 33 can realize a flexible folding function. When the sliding oar rack is not in use or needs to be transported, the user can fold the slide rail 30 along the hinge 33, so that the overall volume is greatly reduced, thereby facilitating storage space and greatly saving space. Secondly, the design of the folding slide rail 30 reduces the burden during transportation. Since the slide rail 30 can be folded, the weight distribution of the entire sliding oar rack is more even and more compact. The user can easily carry it by hand or on the shoulder, without the need for additional carrying tools or the assistance of multiple people. In order to make the installation more secure, a T-shaped third bracket 90 is provided at the bottom of the hinge 33, which is detachably arranged on the bottom of the connection between the first slide rail 31 and the second slide rail 32 and on the inflatable water sports device, thereby avoiding the sinking of the connection. The bottom of the third bracket 90 is provided with mounting holes 60 on both sides, and the mounting holes 60 are used to cooperate with the straps 70 to realize the detachable installation of the third bracket 90 on the inflatable water sports device.

[0031] See Figure 2 Preferably, two sets of pulleys are provided at the bottom of the slidable seat 40, and the pulleys are slidably arranged on the slide rails 30. The pulleys can slide smoothly on the slide rails 30, providing a stable and smooth guarantee for the reciprocating movement of the movable seat.

[0032] Preferably, the paddle blade includes a paddle shaft 531 and a blade 532 disposed on the paddle shaft 531. The paddle shaft 531 is detachably mounted on a universal joint 52 disposed on the connecting rod 51. The detachable design of the paddle shaft 531 allows the user to easily replace the paddle blade or perform maintenance, thereby reducing maintenance costs and time and facilitating transportation after disassembly. Furthermore, different paddling environments or user needs may require different types of paddle blades. The detachable design allows the user to select the appropriate paddle blade for installation according to actual needs, thereby meeting diverse paddling needs.

[0033] See Figure 4 It should be noted that the universal rotating member 52 in the present application includes a mounting hole for mounting the blades, and a universal rolling shaft is provided at the bottom thereof to realize the rotation of the connecting rod and the blades.
