[0002] With the popularization of fitness consciousness, more and more people choose to use running machines for exercise. The friction between the roller and the running belt is one of the key factors to ensure the normal operation of the running machine. Although the surface material of the existing roller has certain wear resistance and grip, under high load conditions, especially for users with heavy weight, the friction may decrease sharply, and the existing running machine is prone to overload and skidding when used at high intensity or for a long time, which not only affects the user's exercise experience, but also may cause safety hazards. Overload and skidding refer to when the user's weight exceeds the designed carrying capacity of the running machine, the friction between the roller and the running belt is not enough to support the user's exercise demand, resulting in the sliding of the running belt, unstable speed or even stop. This phenomenon not only interrupts the user's training, but also may cause accidents such as falling.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0029] like Figures 1-5 The illustrated wear-resistant roller for a treadmill includes a roller shaft 1. The roller shaft 1 has four evenly distributed fan-shaped grooves 13 and four first fan-shaped blocks 15 around its circumference. One end of the roller shaft 1 is provided with a first retaining ring 16 for axial positioning. A wear-resistant body 3 is mounted on the roller shaft 1. Four second fan-shaped blocks 2 are evenly distributed around the inner circumference of the wear-resistant body 3. The second fan-shaped blocks 2 are slidably connected to the fan-shaped grooves 13.
[0030] The drum shaft 1 is provided with a main air hole 11 connected with compressed air, and each fan-shaped long slot 13 is provided with a plurality of branch air holes 14, one end of which is communicated with the main air hole 11.
[0031] The second fan-shaped long block 2 is provided with a plurality of convex cylinders 21, and the convex cylinders 21 are provided with through holes 22. The second fan-shaped long block 2 is also provided with a plurality of sliding holes 23, one end of which is communicated with the through holes 22.
[0032] The wear-resistant body 3 is provided with a plurality of elastic membranes 31 and elastic membrane cavities 32, and the elastic membranes 31 are recessed into the elastic membrane cavities 32. The convex cylinders 21 extend into the elastic membrane cavities 32, and can limit the axial and circumferential displacement of the second fan-shaped long block 2.
[0033] The other end of the sliding hole 23 is communicated with the other end of the branch air hole 14. The sliding hole 23 is installed with a telescopic rod 24, one end of which is respectively slidably connected with the sliding hole 23 and the through hole 22, and the other end of the telescopic rod 24 extends into the elastic membrane cavity 32 and is fixedly connected with the elastic membrane 31.
[0034] The telescopic rod 24 is sleeved with a reset spring 25, which is fixedly connected with the telescopic rod 24 and the sliding hole 23.
[0035] One end of the drum shaft 1 is provided with a first stop ring 16, and the other end is sleeved with a second stop ring 4, and the second stop ring 4 is installed with a pneumatic valve 5. The other end of the drum shaft 1 is also provided with a switch hole 12, which penetrates the main air hole 11. The valve stem 51 of the pneumatic valve 5 extends into the switch hole 12, and the first stop ring 16 and the second stop ring 4 are used for axial positioning.
[0036] The wear-resistant body 3 and the elastic membrane 31 are made of rubber material, which has good softness, wear resistance, tear resistance, good elastic recovery, strong grip, and certain shock absorption effect.
[0037] The wear-resistant roller is modularly designed, with the roller shaft 1, the second sector-shaped long block 2, and the wear-resistant body 3 being independent units. During installation, the second sector-shaped long block 2 is first installed on the inner circumference of the wear-resistant body 3. Since the second sector-shaped long block 2 is slidably connected to the sector-shaped long groove 13, the wear-resistant body 3 with the second sector-shaped long block 2 is aligned with the sector-shaped long groove 13 on the roller shaft 1 and pushed in from the end of the roller shaft 1 without the first retaining ring 16 until one end of the wear-resistant body 3 abuts against the first retaining ring 16. Then, the second retaining ring 4 is installed on the end without the first retaining ring 16, and the second retaining ring 4 abuts against the other end of the wear-resistant body 3. Finally, the pneumatic valve 5 is installed on the second retaining ring 4, and the valve stem 51 of the pneumatic valve 5 extends into the switch hole 12. The second retaining ring 4 and the pneumatic valve 5 cooperate to complete the axial positioning of the wear-resistant body 3 on the roller shaft 1. The wear-resistant body 3, equipped with the second sector-shaped long block 2, can be installed or removed from the roller shaft 1 by simply pushing it in or pulling it out. This makes installation and removal convenient, improving assembly or maintenance efficiency. If a part is damaged, it can be removed and replaced individually, without having to replace all of them, thus saving costs.
[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, when the treadmill is used at high intensity or for a long time, the pneumatic valve 5 is activated, the valve stem 51 moves upward, opening the main air port 11. Compressed air enters through the main air port 11 and then enters each of the branch air ports 14. From the branch air ports 14, it enters the corresponding sliding holes 23. The compressed air acts on the telescopic rod 24 in the sliding hole 23, pushing the telescopic rod 24 upward. The return spring 25 is compressed, and the telescopic rod 24 pushes the concave elastic membrane 31 out of the outer surface of the wear-resistant body 3, so that the elastic membrane 31 comes into contact with the running belt of the treadmill. This greatly increases the friction between the wear-resistant roller and the running belt, making it less prone to overload and slippage when the treadmill is used at high intensity or for a long time. This improves the wear resistance, safety, and user experience of the treadmill. When the above-mentioned function of increasing wear resistance is not needed, the pneumatic valve 5 is stopped, the valve stem 51 moves downward, closes the main air port 11, thereby stopping the supply of compressed air, the return spring 25 is reset, and the telescopic rod 24 is pulled downward, and the telescopic rod 24 pulls the elastic diaphragm 31 back to the concave state.
[0039] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
