Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fitness equipment technology, and in particular to a running board support component and a treadmill. Background Technology

[0002] Treadmills are a common piece of fitness equipment in gyms. They use a motor-driven running belt to passively propel people to run or walk at different speeds. Folding treadmills typically have a front running board and a rear running board. These boards are elastic. When a user exercises on the treadmill, they exert force on the front and rear running boards beneath the running belt. This force causes the boards to deform, creating a height difference at the joint between them, which affects the user's foot feel.

[0003] In related technologies, both the front and rear running plates are installed on the truss welded to the inner wall of the frame. This type of welded component not only fails to solve the problem of the height difference at the connection between the front and rear running plates, but also makes it difficult to ensure the levelness of the truss and even more difficult to ensure the flatness of the front and rear running plates.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve one or more of the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technical solutions.

[0042] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided to make this application more comprehensive and complete, and to fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art. The described features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0043] Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are merely illustrative diagrams of embodiments of this application and are not necessarily drawn to scale. The same reference numerals in the drawings denote the same or similar parts, and therefore repeated descriptions of them will be omitted. Some block diagrams shown in the drawings are functional entities and do not necessarily correspond to physically or logically independent entities.

[0044] This example embodiment first provides a running board support assembly. (See reference...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the running board support assembly includes: a frame, a first support member 300, a second support member 400, a third support member 500, and a fourth support member 600. The frame includes a first frame 100 and a second frame 200 arranged front to back; the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are respectively disposed on the inner sidewall of the first frame 100; the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are used to support the first running board 1000; the third support member 500 and the fourth support member 600 are respectively disposed on the inner sidewall of the second frame 200; the third support member 500 and the fourth support member 600 are used to support the second running board 1100, and the fourth support member 600 extends towards the first frame 100 along its width direction, so that the fourth support member 600 supports both the second running board 1100 and the first running board 1000 simultaneously.

[0045] It is understood that in this application, the first frame 100 is the front frame, and the second frame 200 is the rear frame. The first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are respectively disposed on the inner sidewall of the first frame 100. The first support member 300 is perpendicularly connected to the inner sidewall of the first frame 100, and the second support member 400 is perpendicularly connected to the inner sidewall of the second frame 200. The first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are used to set the first running plate 1000. After the first running plate 1000 is placed on the first support member 300 and the second support member 400, the first running plate 1000 is fixedly connected to the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 respectively by fasteners.

[0046] The third support member 500 and the fourth support member 600 are respectively installed on the inner sidewall of the second frame 200. The third support member 500 and the fourth support member 600 are perpendicularly connected to the inner sidewall of the second frame 200. The third support member 500 and the fourth support member 600 are used to install the second running plate 1100. After the second running plate 1100 is installed on the third support member 500 and the fourth support member 600, the second running plate 1100 is fixedly connected to the third support member 500 and the fourth support member 600 respectively by fasteners. The first running plate 1000 and the second running plate 1100 are at the same height. The installation height of the third support member 500 and the fourth support member 600 on the inner sidewall of the second frame 200 is equal to the installation height of the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 on the inner sidewall of the first frame 100, so that the upper surfaces of the first running plate 1000 and the second running plate 1100 are flush.

[0047] It should be noted that after the fourth support member 600 is installed on the inner wall of the second frame 200, it extends towards the first frame 100, with the extended section of the fourth support member 600 located at the bottom of the first running plate 1000, thus ensuring that the fourth support member 600 can fully support the connection between the first running plate 1000 and the second running plate 1100. Therefore, this application extends the fourth support member 600 along its width towards the first frame 100, so that the fourth support member 600 supports both the second running plate 1100 and the first running plate 1000 simultaneously. The fourth support member 600 solves the problem of height difference at the connection between the first running plate 1000 and the second running plate 1100.

[0048] In addition, the flatness of the front and rear running boards can be ensured by the first support member 300, the second support member 400, the third support member 500 and the fourth support member 600.

[0049] It is understood that in this application, the first frame 100 is the front frame and the second frame 200 is the rear frame. The first frame 100 and the second frame 200 are placed one behind the other and close to each other. The ends of the first frame 100 and the second frame 200 are rotatably connected to allow the first frame 100 and the second frame 200 to be folded up. That is, the second frame 200 is folded up to be close to the first frame 100, thus allowing the frame to be folded up. Folding the frame makes it easy to store and saves space. Since the first running plate 1000 is set on the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 on the inner side wall of the first frame 100, and the second running plate 1100 is set on the third support member 500 and the fourth support member 600 on the inner side wall of the second frame 200, when the first frame 100 and the second frame 200 can be rotatably connected to achieve folding, the first running plate 1000 and the second running plate 1100 can also rotate and fold along with their respective frames.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, the running board support assembly described above provides better support for the first running board 1000 via the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 located on the inner sidewall of the first frame 100, and better support for the second running board 1100 via the third support member 500 and the fourth support member 600 located on the inner sidewall of the second frame 200. The first support member 300, the second support member 400, the third support member 500, and the fourth support member 600 ensure the flatness of the front and rear running boards. Furthermore, the fourth support member 600 extends along its width towards the first frame 100, supporting both the second and first running boards simultaneously, thus providing joint support at the junction of the first and second running boards 1000, preventing height differences and improving the user's foot feel.

[0051] Below, we will refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The various parts of the running board support assembly described above in this example embodiment will be described in more detail.

[0052] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes:

[0053] The fifth support member 700 is located at the bottom front side of the first frame 100;

[0054] The sixth support member 800 is located at the rear bottom of the second frame 200.

[0055] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, it also includes:

[0056] The seventh support member 900 is disposed at the bottom of the second frame 200 and extends toward the bottom of the first frame 100 in order to support the first frame 100 and the second frame 200.

[0057] It is important to understand that the fifth support member 700 and the sixth support member 800 are used to support the frame. Because it is difficult to ensure that the first frame 100 and the second frame 200 are on the same horizontal plane before and after the frame is folded, this application provides a seventh support member 900 at the bottom of the second frame 200. The seventh support member 900 extends towards the bottom of the first frame 100, so that the extended section of the seventh support member 900 is located at the bottom of the first frame 100. This allows the seventh support member 900 to simultaneously support the connection between the first frame 100 and the second frame 200, thereby ensuring that the first frame 100 and the second frame 200 are on the same horizontal plane. The fifth support member 700 and the seventh support member 900 can be rectangular support frames. The fifth support member 700, which is a rectangular support frame, has a larger contact area with the bottom of the first frame 100, thus providing better support for the bottom of the first frame 100. The seventh support member 900, which is also a rectangular support frame, has a larger contact area with the junction of the first frame 100 and the second frame 200, thus providing better support for the junction of the first frame 100 and the second frame 200.

[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the sixth support member 800 includes:

[0059] Two foot pads are respectively set on the inner side wall of the second frame 200 to support the second frame 200.

[0060] It is important to understand that the sixth support member 800 is designed as two foot pads. The foot pads are fixedly connected to the corresponding inner side wall of the second frame 200 through fasteners, so that the foot pads can better support the second frame 200.

[0061] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first support member 300 includes:

[0062] Two ear plates are respectively set on the inner sidewalls of the first frame 100.

[0063] It should be understood that in this application, the second support member 400, the third support member 500, and the fourth support member 600 can be rectangular support frames. However, in order to support the first frame 100 while reducing weight, the first support member 300 is designed as an ear plate. Compared to the rectangular support frame, the ear plate can support the first frame 100 while also reducing the weight of the entire running board support assembly. The ear plate is fixedly connected to the corresponding inner wall of the first frame 100 via fasteners.

[0064] In one embodiment, the fourth support 600 is connected to the second running plate 1100.

[0065] It should be understood that the fourth support member 600 is connected to the second running plate 1100 through a fastener, and the fourth support member 600 only contacts the bottom of the first running plate 1000. When the second frame 200 rotates relative to the first frame 100, the second running plate 1100 can rotate with the first frame 100 relative to the first running plate 1000.

[0066] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first frame 100 includes:

[0067] The first support 110 and the second support 120 are placed relatively parallel to each other;

[0068] The second framework 200 includes:

[0069] The third support 210 and the fourth support 220 are placed relatively parallel to each other; wherein the third support 210 is on the same side as the first support 110, and the second support 120 is on the same side as the fourth support 220.

[0070] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first bracket 110 and the third bracket 210 are rotatably connected at their close ends;

[0071] The second bracket 120 and the fourth bracket 220 are rotatably connected at their close ends.

[0072] It should be understood that the first bracket 110 and the third bracket 210 with rotatable end connections constitute the first frame 100 in this application, and the second bracket 120 and the fourth bracket 220 with rotatable end connections constitute the second frame 200 in this application. The first frame 100 and the second frame 200 have the same structure. The first frame 100 and the second frame 200 in this application can achieve rotational folding while reducing the weight of the running board support assembly.

[0073] This example implementation also provides a treadmill. (See reference...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the treadmill includes: a running board support assembly, a first running board 1000, a second running board 1100, a first roller, a second roller, and a running belt 2000. The first running board 1000 and the second running board 1100 are mounted on the running board support assembly; the first roller is located at the front end of the first running board 1000; the second roller is located at the rear end of the second running board 1100; and the running belt 2000 is tensioned on the first and second rollers and covers the first and second running boards 1000 and 1100.

[0074] It should be noted that the running board support component in the treadmill in this application is the running board support component in any of the above embodiments.

[0075] This application places a fourth support member 600 in the running board support assembly at the bottom of the second frame and extends towards the first frame 100 along its width direction. This allows the fourth support member 600 to support both the second running board 1100 and the first running board 1000 simultaneously, achieving joint support at the junction of the first and second running boards 1000. This ensures the junction of the first and second running boards 1000 is on the same horizontal plane, preventing any height difference at the junction. Since the running belt 2000 is tensioned on the first and second rollers and covers the first and second running boards 1000 and 1100, when the junction of the first and second running boards 1000 and 1100 is on the same horizontal plane, the running belt at the junction becomes smoother. This improves the user's foot feel when exercising on the treadmill.
