[0044] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only 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 efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0045] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 , this application provides the following technical solutions:

[0046] A treadmill adjustment mechanism is disclosed. The mounting housing 100 required for this mechanism is used as a reference, and a mounting position is provided on the mounting housing 100. The mechanism comprises an adjustment assembly 1, a protective member 2, a control assembly 3, and a mounting assembly 4, arranged in order from top to bottom on the mounting housing 100. The control assembly 3 includes a potentiometer, which is electrically connected to the treadmill's control circuit. The potentiometer is provided with a rod-shaped toggle member, which can be toggled to adjust the potentiometer to the corresponding adjustment function of the treadmill. A first reset structure is provided at the connection between the toggle member and the potentiometer. The first reset structure satisfies the requirement that the toggle member automatically reset / return to the center position after being toggled. The specific structure is not limited, and can be reset by a spring, a torsion spring, or the like. The toggle levers of the potentiometers in the adjustment assembly 1 and the control assembly 3 are linked. The adjustment assembly 1 extends to the upper side of the mounting housing 100. The user can use the adjustment assembly 1 to link the control assembly 3. The adjustment assembly 1 is used as a user's operating structure. Protective member 2 is positioned between adjustment assembly 1 and control assembly 3, and buckles over the outside of control assembly 3. Protective member 2 serves as a waterproof structure, ensuring that liquid flowing down the upper side of mounting housing 100 does not affect control assembly 3. Mounting assembly 4 serves as a mounting structure, connecting control assembly 3, adjustment assembly 1, and protective member 2 to mounting housing 100.

[0047] The adjustment component 1 includes an adjustment body 11, which is a block structure. A plug-in structure corresponding to the toggle member on the control component 3 is provided at the lower part of the adjustment body 11. The plug-in structure can be a socket, and the potentiometer lever can be directly inserted into the socket for connection.

[0048] This solution uses a potentiometer lever to adjust treadmill functions, such as speed and incline angle. Because users often adjust the treadmill while running, a self-resetting potentiometer is used. Simply move the lever in the desired direction to adjust the position. Release the force applied to the lever, and it automatically returns to center.

[0049] Considering that users may bring drinks with them to replenish their water while using the treadmill, there is a possibility that the drinks may spill onto the treadmill panel. Therefore, this solution provides a protective member 2 between the adjustment component 1 and the control component 3 to protect the control component 3 and achieve a waterproof effect.

[0050] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, a toggle structure 12 is provided on the upper side of the block of the adjustment body 11. The toggle structure 12 is a raised structure extending upward, and its upper end surface is a circular arc surface. A plurality of grooves are provided on the circular arc surface to increase friction. A through slot is provided on the mounting shell 100 corresponding to the toggle structure 12, and the toggle structure 12 can extend to the upper side of the mounting shell 100 through the through slot. A connecting structure 13 is also provided on the adjustment body 11, and the adjustment body 11 can be rotatably connected to the protective member 2 through the connecting structure 13. A second reset structure 14 is also provided between the adjustment body 11 and the external structure. The second reset structure 14 corresponds to the reset position of the first reset structure, and the second reset structure 14 can reset the adjustment body 11. The mounting assembly 4 includes a mounting plate. The mounting plate itself is a plate body, and can also be a circuit board. The potentiometer of the control assembly 3 is fixed to the upper side of the mounting plate. The mounting plate is provided with a through hole, which can be fixedly connected to the mounting shell 100 by bolts. The protective member 2 can be covered and buckled on the mounting plate.

[0051] This structure, combined with the first reset structure on the control assembly 3 and the second reset structure 14 on the adjustment body 11, avoids the problem of shortening the lifespan of the potentiometer's physical structure due to relying solely on its own reset mechanism. It also provides a separate reset force for the adjustment body 11, ensuring that the structure resets after the treadmill function is adjusted, avoiding over-adjustment caused by components not being reset.

[0052] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the protective member 2 includes a first protective portion 21, a second protective portion 22 and a connecting portion 23. The first protective portion 21 is a plate-shaped cover body, corresponding to the mounting plate, which can be buckled from top to bottom on the outside of the mounting plate of the mounting assembly 4; a through hole is reserved on the first protective portion corresponding to the through hole of the mounting plate. The second protective portion 22 is a rectangular cylindrical structure as a whole, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the upper side of the first protective portion 21. The second protective portion 22 is sleeved on the outside of the potentiometer of the control assembly 3 in the form of a surrounding wrap. The first protective portion 21 and the second protective portion 22 are both made of waterproof elastic material. The connecting portion 23 is arranged on both sides of the first protective portion 21, and a recess is respectively provided on the opposite sides of the two connecting portions 23, and the bottom of the recess is arc-shaped. The connecting structure 13 is a shaft rod, and the connecting structure 13 can be embedded in the recess of the connecting portion 23 and rotatably connected to the connecting portion 23 in the recess. The connecting portion 23 may be manufactured as an integral structure with the second protecting portion 22 and the first protecting portion 21 , or may be manufactured separately and fixedly connected to the second protecting portion 22 .

[0053] On the basis of the above embodiment, a clamping plate may be provided at the bottom of the first protection portion 21 , so that the clamping plate can be clamped to the bottom of the main mounting plate through the deformation of the first protection portion 21 .

[0054] A groove is provided at the lower part of the adjusting body 11 corresponding to the second protection part 22. The groove of the adjusting body 11 is buckled onto the second protection part 22, and the second protection part 22 surrounds the outside of the potentiometer, thereby providing good waterproof protection for the potentiometer.

[0055] Based on the above embodiment, the second reset structure 14 can adopt a variety of different forms. This embodiment proposes a specific second reset structure 14. This embodiment adopts a spring-type second reset structure 14, which is arranged between the side of the adjustment body 11 and the lower side of the mounting housing 100. One end of the second reset structure 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjustment body 11, and the other end is against the mounting housing 100; see Figure 4 Three continuous bending portions are provided between the two ends of the second reset structure 14, and the bending portions are all arc-shaped; a bending plate is provided at one end of the second reset structure 14 close to the mounting shell 100, and when the adjustment body 11 is in a natural state, the plate body of the bending plate is in contact with the lower surface of the mounting shell 100.

[0056] With this solution, the second reset structure 14, the adjustment body 11, the toggle structure 12, and the connecting structure 13 can be manufactured in an integrated molding process, and the shape and material of the second reset structure 14 itself can achieve an elastic reset effect, which can meet the needs of use and is easy to replace.

[0057] Building on the above-described embodiment, the adjustment assembly 1 further includes a limiting structure 15. This limiting structure 15 is a plate-like structure positioned on either side of the second reset structure 14, which limits the rotation of the adjustment body 11. This limiting structure 15 primarily prevents excessive rotation of the adjustment body 11 during use, which could damage components. When the user rotates the adjustment body 11 by actuating the toggle structure 12, the ends of the limiting structure 15 abut against the underside of the mounting housing 100 when fully rotated, thereby limiting the rotational range of the adjustment body 11.
