Therefore, the walking machine of this embodiment allows the user to exercise multiple parts of the body and achieves a good fitness effect.
[0026] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the top end of the swing arm 2 is rotatably connected to the bracket mechanism via an upper rotating shaft 3, while the bottom end of the swing arm 2 is connected to the pedal 1 via a lower rotating shaft 4. The bracket mechanism is provided with a first mounting hole, and the top end of the swing arm 2 is provided with a second mounting hole. The upper rotating shaft 3 passes through the second mounting hole and is inserted into the first mounting hole, thereby connecting the swing arm 2 to the bracket mechanism and enabling rotation of the swing arm 2. The bottom end of the swing arm 2 is provided with a third mounting hole, and the pedal 1 is provided with a fourth mounting hole. The lower rotating shaft 4 passes through the fourth mounting hole and is inserted into the third mounting hole, thereby connecting the pedal 1 to the swing arm 2 and enabling rotation of the pedal 1.
[0027] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bracket mechanism includes two parallel and spaced columns 5, each column 5 being connected to a swing mechanism. A mounting plate 6 is provided on the top of the column 5, and two swinging rods 2 of the same swing mechanism are connected to both ends of the mounting plate 6. A first mounting hole is provided on the mounting plate 6, and the upper rotating shaft 3 is connected to the mounting plate 6.
[0028] In addition, the outer edge of the mounting plate 6 is formed by straight segments and arc segments, with the straight segments and arc segments transitioning through arcs. The straight segment of the mounting plate 6 is perpendicular to the column 5, and the two swinging rods 2 of the same swinging mechanism are connected to the ends of the straight segment of the mounting plate 6. The mounting plate 6 is formed by straight segments and arc segments, and the corners are transitioned through arcs, so that the mounting plate 6 has no sharp edges, which can prevent injuries and enhance safety.

[0032] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that, based on the first embodiment, the walker of this embodiment is further provided with a limiting mechanism.
[0033] In this embodiment, the stroller further includes a limit mechanism, which is disposed on the support mechanism and is used to limit the swing amplitude of the swing arm 2. The limit mechanism controls the swing amplitude of the swing arm 2 to prevent the pedal 1 from tilting too high and causing injury to a person, thereby avoiding safety accidents.
[0034] Specifically, the support mechanism of this embodiment includes two parallel columns 5 spaced apart from each other. One column 5 is connected to a swing mechanism. A mounting plate 6 is provided on the top of the column 5. Two swinging rods 2 of the same swinging mechanism are connected to both ends of the mounting plate 6. A limiting mechanism is provided on the column 5 and is located between the two swinging rods 2 of the same swinging mechanism. The limiting mechanism is provided on the column 5 and is located between the two swinging rods 2 of the same swinging mechanism. When the swinging rods 2 rotate, the limiting mechanism blocks the swinging rods 2. Only one limiting mechanism is used to limit the swinging of the two swinging rods 2, resulting in a simple structure and low cost. Furthermore, the limiting mechanism is provided on the column 5, which prevents the limiting mechanism from damaging the connection between the swinging rods 2 and the support mechanism, making the connection between the swinging rods 2 and the support mechanism more stable, thereby making the stroller safer.

If the limiting pin 9 is immovable on the column 5, the amplitude of the swinging arm 2 is fixed and cannot be adjusted to suit the specific conditions of the user, such as a child or an adult. Therefore, the limiting mechanism of this embodiment is provided with a limiting pin 9 that is movable up and down on the column 5. The user can select the position of the limiting pin 9 on the column 5 according to his or her height or health condition, thereby making the swing amplitude of the swinging arm 2 adjustable, thereby providing strong adaptability and taking into account both training and safety.
[0036] Optionally, in this embodiment, a plurality of limiting holes 501 are provided on the column 5, and the plurality of limiting holes 501 are spaced apart along the height direction of the column 5, and the limiting pin 9 is detachably inserted into the limiting holes 501. A gasket 10 is mounted on the limiting pin 9 to protect the column 5 and the limiting pin 9.
[0037] The other structures of this embodiment are the same as those of the first embodiment and will not be described again here.
[0038] Example 3
[0039] The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that, based on the second embodiment, this embodiment further explains the pedal 1.
[0040] In this embodiment, the pedal 1 includes a base plate 101, a surrounding ring 102, and a connecting plate 103. The bottom side of the surrounding ring 102 is connected to the base plate 101 and is arranged around the circumference of the base plate 101. The bottom side of the connecting plate 103 is connected to the top side of the surrounding ring 102. The bottom end of the swing arm 2 is connected to the connecting plate 103. The surrounding ring 102 of the pedal 1 of this embodiment can protect the user's feet.
[0041] The other structures of this embodiment are the same as those of the second embodiment and will not be described again here.
[0042] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a walking machine, which is provided with two swinging rods 2 in each swinging mechanism, and the two ends of the swinging rod 2 are respectively connected to the bracket mechanism and the pedal 1 for rotation. After such design, the running trajectory of the pedal 1 is based on the two swinging rods 2 as the radius, and it always remains parallel to the ground while moving in an arc, so that the angle between the pedal 1 and the swinging rod 2 changes continuously with the movement. When the user stands on the pedal 1 to exercise, the ankle joint can be effectively exercised as the angle between the pedal 1 and the swinging rod 2 changes, thereby achieving the goal of exercising the ankle joint while exercising the hip joint. Therefore, the walking machine of the embodiment of the present invention allows the user to exercise multiple parts of the body and has a good fitness effect. In addition, the embodiment of the present invention is also provided with a limiting mechanism, which can control the swing amplitude of the swinging rod 2 to prevent the pedal 1 from tilting too high and causing the pedal 1 to hit people, thereby avoiding the occurrence of safety accidents. More specifically, the limiting mechanism of the present invention is achieved by setting a limiting pin 9 that can move up and down on the column 5. The user can choose the position of the limiting pin 9 on the column 5 according to his or her height or health condition, so that the swing amplitude of the swing rod 2 can be adjusted, which has strong adaptability and takes both exercise and safety into consideration.
