[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0038] See Figures 1-10 A column structure for a double-sided treadmill includes a column unit 1 and a positioning unit 2.

[0039] The overall shape and style of the column unit 1 can refer to existing designs, such as including two longitudinally arranged columns distributed on the left and right sides of the treadmill frame 3 and a horizontally arranged crossbar for connecting the upper ends of the two columns into one piece. The crossbar is bent at the connection point with the two columns.

[0040] In this embodiment, the column unit 1 is suitable for a dual-sided treadmill. For a dual-sided treadmill, both the upper and lower sides can be used. For ease of understanding, they are named the first side of the treadmill and the second side of the treadmill, respectively. When the user uses the first side of the treadmill, the column unit 1 is flipped to the top of the first side of the treadmill, which is the first state of the column unit 1. When the user uses the second side of the treadmill, the column unit 1 is flipped to the top of the second side of the treadmill, which is the second state of the column unit 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, the column unit 1 is rotatably connected to the treadmill frame 3 so that it can rotate as needed. Specifically, a cylindrical connector 4 is provided on the treadmill frame 3, and the column unit 1 is rotatably mounted on the cylindrical connector 4. This is one possible implementation. Figure 5 As shown, a mounting hole 11 adapted to the cylindrical connector 4 is provided at the lower end of the column unit 1. The state after the mounting hole 11 and the cylindrical connector 4 are engaged can be seen from the following. Figure 2 As shown, this allows the column unit 1 to rotate around the outer wall of the cylindrical connector 4.

[0042] It should be noted that the two columns on the column unit 1 can each correspond to a cylindrical connector 4, that is, a corresponding cylindrical connector 4 can be set on both sides of the treadmill frame 3.

[0043] To improve aesthetics, a cover can be installed at the mounting hole 11 to cover the components inside the mounting hole 11 or the cylindrical connector 4.

[0044] The positioning unit 2 is used to position the column unit 1 on the treadmill frame 3 when it is in the first state and / or the second state. In this embodiment, the positioning unit 2 includes a pin 21, which is installed on the column unit 1. When the column unit 1 is in the first state or the second state, the pin 21 is inserted into the corresponding hole / slot to achieve the positioning of the column unit 1.

[0045] The corresponding holes / grooves can be directly made on the treadmill frame 3, such as making corresponding holes / grooves at the upper and lower parts of the side strips of the treadmill frame 3, as positioning holes or positioning grooves that cooperate with the pin 21; or a positioning component 5 can be fixedly installed on the treadmill frame 3, with corresponding holes / grooves made at the upper and lower ends of the positioning component 5, as positioning holes or positioning grooves 51 that cooperate with the pin. Figure 8 As shown, the engagement state between the pin 21 and the positioning component 5 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0046] The positioning component 5 can be fixed to the treadmill frame 3 by welding or by fasteners, and a corresponding positioning component 5 can be set on each side of the treadmill frame 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, the cylindrical connector 4 is installed on the positioning member 5. As one implementation method, a bolt 52 is provided on the positioning member 5, and a through hole 41 is provided on the cylindrical connector 4 for the bolt 52 to pass through. After the threaded section of the bolt 52 is inserted into the cylindrical connector 4, it is threadedly connected to the nut 53 built into the cylindrical connector 4, so that the cylindrical connector 4 is fixed on the positioning member 5 through the cooperation of the bolt 52 and the nut 53.

[0048] As one option, the cylindrical connector 4 is open at one end and hollow inside, with a through hole 41 communicating with the internal cavity. The opening provides ample operating space for the nut 53, making disassembly and installation more convenient.

[0049] As one option, appropriate gaskets 6 can be arranged according to actual needs, such as a number of gaskets 6 between the cylindrical connector 4 and the positioning member 5 and / or between the nut 53 and the inner wall of the cylindrical connector 4.

[0050] Regarding the cooperation relationship between the positioning unit 2 and the column unit 1, as one embodiment, the column unit 1 is equipped with a threaded sleeve 7, which is arranged through the column unit 1 and exposed at both ends. The pin 21 of the positioning unit 2 has a threaded section 211 that is threaded to the threaded sleeve 7 and a smooth rod section 212 for cooperating with the positioning hole / positioning groove 51. In actual use, the pin 21 is rotated to move the pin 21 forward and backward. Moving the pin forward allows the smooth rod section 212 to enter the positioning hole / positioning groove 51 to position the column unit 1; moving the pin backward allows the smooth rod section 212 to leave the positioning hole / positioning groove 51 to unlock the column unit 1.

[0051] To facilitate the user's rotation of the pin 21, in this embodiment, the positioning unit 2 also includes a knob 22 fixed to the outer end of the pin 21. The knob 22 rotates synchronously with the pin 21, which is more labor-saving.

[0052] To facilitate the storage of the column unit when the treadmill is not in use, in this embodiment, a positioning hole / positioning groove 51 is provided on the right end of the positioning member 5 for cooperating with the pin 21, so that the column unit 1 is positioned on the treadmill frame 3 when it is in the folded state.

[0053] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
