[0033] This utility model proposes a clamping device for fitness equipment. Example

[0034] See Figures 1 to 7 , Figure 9 In one embodiment of the present invention, a fitness equipment clamping device 100 includes a connecting mechanism 101, the top of which includes a handle 102; the bottom of which includes a supporting device. Preferably, the supporting device includes a first supporting plate 103 and a second supporting plate 104, which are respectively disposed at the left and right ends of the connecting mechanism 101.

[0035] Below the connecting mechanism 101 is a clamping device 200, and the connecting mechanism 101 is detachably connected to the clamping device 200 through the support device; a groove 105 for accommodating fitness equipment is formed between the connecting mechanism 101 and the clamping device 200.

[0036] In this embodiment, the handle 102 at the top of the connecting mechanism 101 can be connected to a component of fitness equipment, such as the barbell's crossbar; preferably, the top of the handle 102 includes a handle hole 1021, through which the crossbar of the fitness equipment can be connected to the connecting mechanism 101.

[0037] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 9 In this embodiment, the connecting mechanism 101 is connected to the clamping device 200 through the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104, and a fitness equipment groove 105 is formed between the connecting mechanism 101 and the clamping device 200; preferably, the groove 105 is U-shaped.

[0038] The fitness equipment is, for example, a dumbbell 204. The dumbbell bar in the middle of the dumbbell 204 can be placed between the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104, and one side of the dumbbell bar is clamped by the connecting mechanism 104. Then, the clamping device 200 clamps the other side of the dumbbell bar through the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104, so that the dumbbell bar is set in the groove 105, and the dumbbell 204 is clamped by the utility model.

[0039] The connecting mechanism 101 forms a U-shaped groove 105 with the clamping device 200, which is configured to securely position the fitness equipment. The groove 105 facilitates passage through the middle portion of the fitness equipment, ensuring proper alignment and stability during use. The connecting mechanism 101 also creates a holding space between the handle 102 and the clamping device 200, allowing the relative movement of the clamping device 200 to progressively tighten the fitness equipment positioned within the holding space, thereby effectively securing the clamping member.

[0040] The U-shaped groove 105 is part of the connecting mechanism 101 and is designed to align with the center of the fitness equipment to facilitate passage through its middle section. The fitness equipment interacts with the connecting mechanism.

[0041] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 In this embodiment, preferably, the handle 102 includes a nut device 1022. The nut device 1022 is disposed inside the handle 102. When a component of the fitness equipment is inserted into the handle 102, the connecting mechanism 101 can be easily screwed together with the external fitness equipment component through the nut device 1022, making it more convenient and flexible to use.

[0042] The handle 102 allows the user to operate the clamping device 200, and the connecting mechanism 101 forms a holding space between the handle 101 and the clamping device 200. This connecting mechanism 101 allows the clamping device 200 to move relative to the handle 102 to progressively tighten the fitness equipment, ensuring a secure hold.

[0043] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5In this embodiment, preferably, the outer side plates of the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 are respectively provided with a first external thread 1031 and a second external thread 1041.

[0044] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 In this embodiment, preferably, the clamping device 200 includes a knob device 201, which includes a boss 202, and the support device is connected to the knob device 201 through the boss 202.

[0045] In this embodiment, the knob device 201 is disc-shaped and includes a knob cavity 2011. The inner wall of the knob cavity 2011 is provided with an internal thread 2013. Since the outer side plates of the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 are respectively provided with a first external thread 1031 and a second external thread 1041, the knob device 201 is screwed with the first external thread 1031 and the second external thread 1041 through the internal thread 2013, so that the clamping device 200 clamps the fitness equipment, making it more convenient and flexible to use.

[0046] In this embodiment, preferably, the two sides of the boss 203 include a first limiting platform 2021 and a second limiting platform 2022, respectively. The positions of the first limiting platform 2021 and the second limiting platform 2022 correspond to the positions of the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104. The first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 are respectively connected to the knob device 201 through the first limiting platform 2021 and the second limiting platform 2022.

[0047] In this embodiment, the top of the boss 203 includes a platform 203. The first limiting platform 2021 and the second limiting platform 2022 are disposed on both sides of the platform 203. The height of the first limiting platform 2021 and the second limiting platform 2022 is slightly lower than the height of the platform 203. One end of the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 are respectively provided with the two ends of the connecting mechanism 101, and the other end is respectively connected to the first limiting platform 2021 and the second limiting platform 2022. When it is necessary to clamp the fitness equipment, the knob device 201 can be removed first, so that the fitness equipment is clamped between the first support plate 103 and the second support plate 104 along the boss 203. Then, the boss 203 can be tightened by the knob device 201, thereby clamping the fitness equipment.

[0048] In this embodiment, preferably, the top surface of the boss 203 includes a buffer pad 204.

[0049] The buffer pad 204 is disposed on the top platform of the boss 203.

[0050] The cushioning pad 204 provides friction and cushioning against the outer wall of the fitness equipment. This device prevents loosening and lateral deflection, ensuring the equipment remains securely clamped.

[0051] The buffer layer 204 of the clamping device 200 provides a cushioning effect by generating friction with the fitness equipment and adhering tightly to the outer wall of the fitness equipment, so as to prevent the equipment from loosening and lateral deflection.

[0052] The buffer pad 204 is an important component of the connection mechanism, enhancing alignment and stability, making the use of this invention safer and more reliable.

[0053] In this embodiment, the cushioning pad 204 provides friction and cushioning effects to contact the outer wall of the gym equipment, enhancing stability and preventing lateral deflection. This ergonomic and durable design ensures reusability and ease of operation.

[0054] In this embodiment, the clamping device 100 fixed to the fitness equipment 204 securely clamps fitness equipment 204 of different diameters by forming a holding space and gradually tightening it. The buffer layer 204 further enhances stability and prevents slippage during use.

[0055] In this embodiment, the structural relationship between the various components ensures the effective operation of the clamping device 100. The handle 102 is connected to the clamping device 200 to ensure that the U-shaped groove 105 can stably clamp the fitness equipment to secure it. The buffer layer 204 provides additional stability and alignment, ensuring the device remains safe during use. Constructed of durable materials, the device can withstand repeated use and force during clamping, making it a reliable tool for fitness enthusiasts.

[0056] See Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 In this embodiment, preferably, the back of the boss 202 includes a boss cavity 2021, and the boss cavity 2021 includes a hollow first tube post 2022; the knob device 201 includes a knob cavity 2011, and the knob cavity 2011 includes a knob post 2012, the position of the knob post 2012 corresponds to the position of the first tube post 2022, and the knob post 2012 and the first tube post 2022 are inserted together.

[0057] In this embodiment, the boss 202 is connected to the first tube post 2022 by a knob post 2012 and is fixedly connected to the knob device 201, making it more stable and safer to use.

[0058] In this embodiment, and preferably, a second pipe column and a third pipe column 2024 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the first pipe column 2022. The second pipe column and the third pipe column 2024 can be connected to the first pipe column 2022 by reinforcing ribs, and the use of the boss 203 makes it more robust and durable.

[0059] The knob cavity 2011 also includes a recess 2014. When the boss 203 is inserted into the knob cavity 2011, the second tube and the third tube 2024 are respectively inserted into the recess 2014, pressing against the bottom of the recess 2014, so that the boss 203 and the knob device 201 are connected.

[0060] See Figure 8 ,Should Figure 8 The flowchart shows in detail a method for securing fitness equipment using a clamping device.

[0061] This flowchart provides operational guidance, beginning with step 600, where the fitness equipment is positioned within the holding space formed between the handle 102 of the clamping device 200 and the connecting mechanism 101. This initial step is crucial because it lays the foundation for subsequent operations by ensuring the fitness equipment is correctly positioned within the designated area, allowing for effective clamping. The holding space is created by the connecting mechanism, an integral part of the device's functionality as it allows for relative movement between the clamping components and the handle.

[0062] In step 602, the connecting mechanism 101 is operated to allow movement of the clamping member relative to the handle. This operation is crucial for adjusting the position of the clamping member to accommodate fitness equipment of various sizes and shapes. The connecting mechanism 101 may include features such as a U-shaped concave positioning groove 105 or a buffer layer, which facilitate threading and positioning of the fitness equipment. These features ensure the equipment is securely fixed, prevents slippage, and provides stability during use.

[0063] Step 604 involves progressively tightening the fitness equipment within the holding space by adjusting the connecting mechanism 101. This step ensures the equipment is secure, allowing for safe and effective use. The progressive tightening mechanism may involve various structures, such as snap-fit, magnetic, or adhesive structures, which enhance the clamping device 200's ability to securely hold the equipment. This flowchart effectively captures the essence of the method, highlighting the interaction between the handle 102, the clamping device 200, and the connecting mechanism 101 to achieve the desired clamping effect. This method not only ensures the secure holding of the fitness equipment but also facilitates adjustment and operation, making the clamping device versatile and user-friendly.

[0064] In this embodiment, preferably, the connecting mechanism 101 may include a snap-fit ​​structure, a magnetic adsorption structure, or an adhesive structure to secure the fitness equipment. These structures can be integrated into the connecting mechanism to provide additional securing options for the fitness equipment. The snap-fit ​​structure can be combined with corresponding functions on the fitness equipment to keep it in place. The magnetic adsorption structure can utilize magnetic force to securely attract and hold the fitness equipment. The adhesive structure may involve adhesive materials for bonding the fitness equipment to the connecting mechanism. These security options can be selected based on the specific requirements of the fitness equipment and the desired level of security. The connecting mechanism 101 can be designed to accommodate these structures, allowing flexibility in securing different types of gym equipment. The integration of these structures can enhance the overall functionality of the clamping device by providing multiple securing options. The selection of a suitable securing structure may depend on factors such as the material of the fitness equipment, the environment in which it is used, and the desired ease of installation and removal. The connecting mechanism can be configured to allow easy interchangeability of these protective structures, allowing for customization based on user preferences. The use of these structures may contribute to the stability and reliability of the clamping device 200, ensuring that the fitness equipment remains securely held during our work.

[0065] In this embodiment, preferably, the clamping device for the fitness equipment can be effectively positioned using the sidewall of a U-shaped concave positioning groove. This positioning can be achieved by aligning the outer periphery of the middle part of the fitness equipment with the sidewall, which may help achieve a stable positioning state. The fitness equipment can then be secured in this positioning state using the handle 102 and the clamping device 200, ensuring that the equipment is firmly clamped. The connecting mechanism 101 may include a U-shaped concave positioning groove, which can be configured to allow the clamping device 200 to move relative to the handle 102, thereby gradually tightening the fitness equipment within the holding space. This function may be crucial in preventing any lateral deflection or loosening of the fitness equipment during use. In addition, a buffer layer may be part of the connecting mechanism, which can generate friction with the outer wall of the fitness equipment to achieve a further stabilizing buffering effect. Snap-fit ​​structures, magnetic adsorption structures, or adhesive structures can also be integrated into the connector m to mechanically provide additional fixing options, improving the overall stability and safety of the fitness equipment.
