Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of fitness equipment, and in particular relates to an elliptical machine with foldable handrails. Background Art

[0002] Currently, more and more people are paying attention to physical exercise. Elliptical machines are a type of fitness equipment used for physical exercise. Common elliptical machines on the market require users to use both their hands and feet, which requires a high level of balance. They also train upper body muscles and increase the endurance of the user's arms. Existing elliptical machine armrests typically include an armrest frame hinged to the pedals and bracket, and a handrail mounted on the armrest frame. During use, users grasp the handrail to balance the armrest frame's back-and-forth swing. However, in the prior art, the armrest frame and handrail are fixedly connected. When folding the elliptical machine, the armrest and bracket fold back onto the base. However, the folded elliptical machine still occupies a relatively large volume, making it inconvenient to transport and package. Utility Model Content

[0029] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides an elliptical machine with foldable handrails 6, including:

[0031] A chassis 1, wherein a flywheel assembly 2 is provided on the chassis 1, a bracket extending upward is provided at the front of the chassis 1, and two left and right pedals 3 are hingedly connected to the flywheel assembly 2; the flywheel assembly 2 is located on the upper side of the rear area of ​​the chassis 1, and the two pedals 3 are located on the upper side of the front area of ​​the chassis 1; and

[0032] Two handrail frames 5 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the bracket, and the upper part of each handrail frame 5 is rotatably connected to the bracket, the lower end of each handrail frame 5 is hinged to its corresponding pedal 3, and the upper end of each handrail frame 5 is hinged to a handrail rod 6, which includes an expanded state and a folded state relative to the handrail frame 5; a first connecting member 61 is provided on the handrail rod 6; when the handrail rod 6 is in the expanded state, the handrail frame 5 is fixedly connected to the first connecting member 61 through a fixing member 7 so that the handrail rod 6 is locked in the expanded state; when the fixing member 7 is removed from the first connecting member 61, the handrail rod 6 can switch between the expanded state and the folded state relative to the handrail frame 5.

[0033] The upper portion of the first connecting member 61 can be fixedly connected to the handrail 6 , or the first connecting member 61 can be integrally formed with the handrail 6 .

[0034] In this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the armrest frame 5 and the handrail 6 are hingedly connected via a first pin 8, and the first connecting member 61 and the first pin 8 are located on opposite sides of the handrail 6. Preferably, the first connecting member 61 is located at the rear side of the handrail 6, and the first pin 8 is located at the front side of the handrail 6. When the elliptical machine is folded, the handrail 6 is folded forward and downward relative to the armrest frame 5.

[0035] The above solution can also be arranged such that the first connecting member 61 is located at the front side of the handrail 6, and the first pin 8 is located at the rear side of the handrail 6. When the elliptical machine is folded, the handrail 6 is folded backward and downward relative to the armrest frame 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, as a preferred embodiment, the first connecting member 61 is arc-shaped. When the handrail 6 is in the unfolded state, the upper portion of the first connecting member 61 is wrapped around the outside of the handrail 6, and the lower portion of the first connecting member 61 is wrapped around the outside of the handrail frame 5. The upper portion of the first connecting member 61 can be configured to be integrally formed with the handrail 6 or fixedly connected. When folding, the fixing member 7 is removed to separate the lower portion of the first connecting member 61 from the handrail frame 5.

[0037] The upper end of the handrail frame 5 is provided with a hinge portion 10. The hinge portion 10 can be configured to be integrally formed with the handrail frame 5 and can be cylindrical in shape. The first pin 8 is disposed through the hinge portion 10. The first pin 8 can be a bolt. The first connecting member 61 is provided with two lugs, one located on opposite sides of the hinge portion 10. The first pin 8 is inserted through the two lugs and secured by a nut. During the folding or unfolding of the handrail bar 6, the first connecting member 61 and the handrail bar 6 rotate relative to the hinge portion 10.

[0038] In this embodiment, the fixing member 7 includes a bolt and a knob. The handrail frame 5 and the first connecting member 61 are provided with through holes for the bolt to pass through. The bolt passes through the handrail frame 5 and the first connecting member 61 and is fixedly connected to the knob. The knob is configured to be easily grasped and twisted by a human hand, thereby facilitating quick disassembly and assembly of the fixing member 7.

[0039] In this embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bracket includes an upper bracket 4 and a lower bracket 41. The upper bracket 4 is hinged to the lower bracket 41 via a second pin 9. A locking assembly is provided between the upper bracket 4 and the lower bracket 41 to maintain the upper bracket 4 and the lower bracket 41 in an extended state. When the elliptical machine is folded, the upper bracket 4 folds backward and downward relative to the lower bracket 41, and the two armrests 5 fold backward and downward. Specifically, the locking assembly includes an arc-shaped second connecting member 42 disposed on the lower bracket 41. The upper bracket 4 is fixedly connected to the second connecting member 42 via a fixed pin 43 with a handle, maintaining the upper bracket 4 and the lower bracket 41 in the extended state. The lower portion of the second connecting member 42 wraps around the outer side of the lower bracket 41 and can be configured to be fixedly connected to the lower bracket 41 or integrally formed. The upper portion of the second connecting member 42 wraps around the outer side of the upper bracket 4 and is detachably connected to the upper bracket 4 via a fixed pin 43. When folding is required, the fixed pin 43 is removed, thereby folding the upper bracket 4 backward and downward.

[0040] Working principle description:

[0041] When folding the elliptical machine, the fixing part 7 can be removed by loosening the knob, and the fixing pin 43 can be removed. Then, the two armrests 5 and the upper bracket 4 can be folded backward and downward above the base frame 1, and the two armrest rods 6 can be folded forward and downward, so that the volume of the folded elliptical machine can be further reduced.

[0042] The present invention is not limited to the above optional implementation methods. Under the premise of not conflicting with each other, the various solutions can be combined arbitrarily. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in their shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
