Each step 30 is cyclically exposed from the top side of the circulation pedal assembly 300 and is transmitted downwardly along the top side of the circulation pedal assembly 300 for the user to step on. The specific circulation pedal assembly 300 is transmitted by a driving motor and a transmission gear. This is a prior art and will not be described in detail. When in use, when the user steps down on the step 30, he applies downward pressure on the step. At the same time, the driving motor and the transmission gear can drive each step 30 to rotate cyclically, and the user can step on it in situ. Step climbing; there is a gap between the bottom of the circulation pedal assembly 300 and the main frame 100, or when the main frame 100 is placed on the ground, there is a gap between the circulation pedal assembly 300 and the ground, and the protective member 200 is installed on the main frame 100 so that when the main frame 100 is placed on the ground, the protective member 200 is used to block the longitudinal gap between the circulation pedal assembly 300 and the main frame 100 or the ground, which can prevent children or small animals from drilling into or objects from being drawn into the gap. In addition, during use, there are improper uses such as stepping on air, slipping or operating errors, which may cause the feet or other parts of the body to be drawn into the gap along with the steps. The protective member 200 can also prevent the user's body parts from being drawn into the gap.

[0028] Focus on combination Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the main frame 100 includes two left and right brackets 10, and the top side of the circulation pedal assembly 300 is inclined upward from front to back, with the inclined surface facing the user.

Of course, in other embodiments, the front ends of the two brackets 10 are connected by a front connecting rod or a base, and a gap is formed between the circulation pedal assembly 300 and the front connecting rod or the base. The protective member 200 can also be used to block the gap. Those skilled in the art can design it according to the specific situation.

[0029] Furthermore, the bracket 10 includes a front support rod 1, a rear support rod 2, a connecting rod 3 and a connecting frame 4. The front support rod 1 and the rear support rod 2 are arranged longitudinally, the connecting rod 3 extends front and back, and is respectively connected to the front support rod 1 and the rear support rod 2. The connecting frame 4 is inclined upward from front to back, and its rear end is fixedly connected to the rear support rod 2, and its front end is fixedly connected to the front support rod 1 and the connecting rod 3. The circulation pedal assembly 300 is rotatably arranged between the two connecting frames 4, the protective member 200 is installed between the two front support rods 1, and the rear ends of the two brackets 10 are connected by the rear connecting rod 8.

[0030] Focus on combination Figure 5As shown, a hook 5 is formed on the bracket 10, and the hook 5 faces the protective member 200. Hook holes 20 are formed on the left and right sides of the protective member 200, so that when the hook 5 hooks the hook hole 20, the protective member 200 is fixedly connected to the left and right brackets 10.

In this specific embodiment, the hook 5 is a clevis bolt, which is specifically installed on the support rod 1. The support rod 1 is formed with a mounting hole (not shown in the figure). One end of the clevis bolt is formed with an external thread, and the other end forms the above-mentioned hook 5. The clevis bolt is screwed into the mounting hole and fixedly connected to the front support rod 1. The protective member 200 can be a rigid protective member. The hook hole 20 can be integrally formed on the side of the rigid protective member, or it can be detachably installed on the side of the rigid protective member through a connecting member. The hook hole 20 is formed on the connecting member. 0; the protective member 200 can also be a flexible protective net, with hook holes 20 formed on both sides of the flexible protective net, and the hook holes 20 on both sides of the flexible protective net are respectively hooked with the hooks 5, and the hooks 51 are adapted to the hook holes 20, so that when the hooks 51 hook the hook holes 20, the protective member 200 is fixedly connected to the left and right brackets 10; at least two clevis bolts are installed on each front support rod 1, and at least two hook holes 20 are respectively formed on the left and right sides of the protective member 200, so that the connection between the protective member 200 and the bracket 10 is more stable; of course, in other embodiments, the fixing method between the protective member 200 and the bracket 10 can also be other methods, such as snap connection, screw connection, bonding or other methods, but not limited to this.

[0031] In this specific embodiment, the protective member 200 can be made of plastic material or flexible material, without specific limitation. The protective member 200 can be a plate-like structure (such as Figure 8 As shown), it can also be a mesh structure or other structures, and those skilled in the art can design it according to the specific situation.

[0032] In this specific embodiment, the protective member 200 is a mesh structure formed by a plurality of mesh arrays, such as Figure 6-7 As shown, the mesh holes of the mesh structure can be hexagonal or rhombus-shaped. The mesh structure has multiple nodes, good shock resistance, and better stability. Specifically, it can be a mesh structure made of flexible materials, such as net ropes, etc., or a mesh structure made of plastic materials, or a mesh structure made of other materials, but not limited to these. It can prevent the user from slipping or being involved, and can block the user's body parts. The mesh structure has a buffering effect and can further protect the user. Of course, in other embodiments, the mesh holes can also be other shapes, but not limited to these.

[0033] Focus on combination Figure 3As shown, handrails 6 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the main frame 100. The handrails 6 are specifically installed on the top side of the connecting frame 4. Handrails 6 are provided with handles 7. The handles 7 extend into the top of the circulation pedal assembly 300. The two handles 7 are arranged opposite to each other for users to hold with both hands when stepping on the steps, which can provide support for the user.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the design of this case. Any equivalent changes made based on the key design of this case shall fall within the scope of protection of this case.
