[0067] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a boss 21 is provided at each end of the base 2 , and the boss 21 corresponds to the spring control block 72 and is used to lift the spring control block 72 .

[0068] Working principle: When the dumbbell is placed on the base 2, the boss 21 on the base 2 lifts the corresponding spring control block 72, and the spring control block 72 disengages from the inner ring groove 7122. The ring gear fixing plate 713 can rotate relative to the outer fixing plate 715. At this time, the handle 4 is rotated, and the handle 4 can drive the driving plate 6, the cam structure 5, the ring gear 712, and the ring gear fixing plate 713 to rotate together, while the dumbbell pieces 1 are fixed on the base 2 and do not rotate. Therefore, the rotation angle of the handle 4 is different, and the number of dumbbell pieces 1 brought by the cam structure 5 is also different, thereby realizing weight adjustment. On the contrary, when the dumbbell is detached from the base 2, the spring control block 72 is engaged with the inner ring groove 7122, and the ring gear fixing plate 713 cannot rotate relative to the outer fixing plate 715. At this time, the handle 4 is rotated, and the handle 4 can drive the driving plate 6, cam structure 5, ring gear 712, ring gear fixing plate 713, inner fixing plate 711, outer fixing plate 715, bridge block 73, and first fixing plate 74 to rotate together. The bridge block 73 will drive the dumbbell plate 1 to rotate synchronously, thereby preventing the dumbbell plate 1 from falling.

[0069] Above, refer to Figures 1 to 11 The utility model describes a dumbbell with adjustable weight according to an embodiment of the present invention, which adopts a method of using a handle to directly drive the cam plate to rotate through a driving plate, and does not require the rotation of a positioning shaft, thereby reducing torque and making operation more convenient; the setting of a limiting gear ring and an elastic latch is adopted, so that every time the handle is rotated by an angle, relatively clear feedback can be felt, and the user experience is better; and it is ensured that the handle can only stay at the position corresponding to the scale during the rotation process, avoiding the risk of staying in the middle, and solving the safety problem caused by the dumbbell plates falling off during use.
