[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] This embodiment provides a tug-of-war track unit, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tug-of-war track unit includes a base plate 1. A track rubber sheet 2 is laid on the top center of the base plate 1 along its length. Two first pressure plates 3 are installed on the top of the base plate 1 and on both sides of the track rubber sheet 2. The two first pressure plates 3 press down on the track rubber sheet 2 from both sides. Two second pressure plates 4 are installed on the top of the two first pressure plates 3. The opposite sides of the second pressure plates 4 are located above the two sides of the track rubber sheet 2. The two second pressure plates 4 press down on the track rubber sheet 2 from above the two sides. The tug-of-war track unit with the above design can firmly fix the track rubber sheet 2 by pressing down on the two sides of the track rubber sheet 2 by the two first pressure plates 3 and by pressing down on the two sides of the track rubber sheet 2 from above the two sides. This prevents the track rubber sheet 2 from curling up on the sides, resulting in a stable structure suitable for widespread use.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, at least two hand-held grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the base plate 1. By providing at least two hand-held grooves 11 on both sides of the base plate 1, it is convenient to carry the tug-of-war track unit. At the same time, anti-slip pads can be pasted on the inner wall of the hand-held grooves 11 to prevent hands from slipping when carrying the tug-of-war track unit, thereby further facilitating the carrying of the tug-of-war track unit.

[0025] In this embodiment, the top of the track rubber 2 is provided with an anti-slip strip. The anti-slip strip can effectively prevent athletes' feet from slipping during tug-of-war, and can also enhance the wear resistance of the top of the track rubber 2. Moreover, the bottom of the track rubber 2 is smooth, which makes it easy to stick the track rubber 2 to the top of the base plate 1.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the two second pressure plates 4 on opposite sides is provided with stepped grooves 41 along their length. The tops of both sides of the track rubber 2 are respectively inserted into the stepped grooves 41 of the two second pressure plates 4. The second pressure plates 4 with the above design can easily press the opposite sides of the two second pressure plates 4 onto the tops of the track rubber 2. At the same time, the height difference between the top surface of the second pressure plate 4 and the top surface of the track rubber 2 is very small, which can prevent athletes from twisting their ankles during tug-of-war.

[0027] It should be noted that the track rubber 2 is fixed to the top center of the base plate 1 with adhesive, the two first pressure plates 3 are fixed to the top sides of the base plate 1 with adhesive, and the two second pressure plates 4 are fixed to the top of the two first pressure plates 3 with adhesive. This can connect the entire tug-of-war track unit as a whole, making the structure stable and thus improving the service life of the tug-of-war track unit.

[0028] It should be noted that the base plate 1, track rubber 2, first pressure plate 3 and second pressure plate 4 are of equal length. At the same time, the opposite sides of the two first pressure plates 3 are flush with the two sides of the base plate 1, and the opposite sides of the two second pressure plates 4 are flush with the opposite sides of the two first pressure plates 3. This makes the entire tug-of-war track unit flat all around, which is convenient for splicing and using the tug-of-war track unit.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] This embodiment provides a tug-of-war track, such as Figure 4 As shown, it is composed of multiple tug-of-war track units. Multiple tug-of-war track units can be assembled to form a professional-grade standard tug-of-war track. In regular use, the tug-of-war track units can be stacked to reduce the floor space required. Adjacent tug-of-war track units are connected by connector 5, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, the connector 5 is a U-shaped connecting plate. By inserting two connectors 5 between the two sides of two adjacent tug-of-war track units, the two adjacent tug-of-war track units can be connected together, which is convenient to operate. At the same time, both ends of the second pressure plate 4 are provided with slots 42. When the connector 5 connects the two tug-of-war track units, the connector 5 can be inserted into the slot 42, so that the top surface of the connector 5 is flush with the top surface of the second pressure plate 4, which can prevent athletes from kicking the connector 5, thus making it safer.

[0031] The specific embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any other corresponding changes and modifications made based on the technical concept of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
