Through reasonable angle change and force conduction, an overall body that cooperates with each other is formed between each component, ensuring the movement continuity of the whole fitness equipment. The top of the two transmission rods 6 is rotatably connected with guide rod 9, and the outside of guide rod 9 is slidably connected in the inside of foot pedal 7. When the fitness personnel slides both feet into the inside of foot pedal 7, the foot will slide and push guide rod 9 to slide in the corresponding space in the inside of foot pedal 7, so that transmission rod 6 drives rotating rod 4 to rotate around fixed column 3 as the rotating shaft. This series of transmission and sliding cooperation makes the whole movement process orderly;
[0034] The top end of the main body 1 is fixedly connected with a fixed rod 10, which serves to connect the upper folding assembly and the main body 1, provides a support basis for the installation and stable operation of the folding assembly, and ensures that the folding operation can be smoothly carried out. The top end of the fixed rod 10 is provided with a folding assembly for folding, which is the key to realizing the convenient storage of the entire fitness equipment. The fixed rod 10 can change the form of the exercise bike when not in use, reducing the space occupied.

The inside of the rotating block 11 is slidably connected with a sliding tooth 12, which has a slope in shape. This slope design is very clever and plays a key role in the entire folding and fixing process. When subjected to external pressure, the sliding can be smoothly realized based on the characteristics of the slope, thereby changing the limiting state of the entire folding assembly. The end of the sliding tooth 12 away from the rotating block 11 is fixedly connected with an extension column 13, which serves to connect the sliding tooth 12 and other components on one hand, and on the other hand, it can extend within a certain range, providing corresponding space and flexibility for the sliding and position change of the sliding tooth 12;
[0036] The outer part of the telescopic column 13 is sleeved with a telescopic spring 14, which has good elastic potential storage and release capacity. During the operation of the folding assembly, the telescopic spring 14 can be elastically deformed according to the position change of the components, accumulate or release elastic potential, thereby pushing the related components to slide or reset, etc., to ensure the normal realization of the entire folding and fixing functions. The inner part of the rotating block one 11 is provided with a sliding groove two 15, which provides a specific track and space for the sliding of the sliding teeth 12, so that the sliding teeth 12 can move according to the designed path, accurately realize the limiting and unlimiting operation of the rotating block one 11. The outer part of the threaded column 16 is threadedly connected with the rotating block two 17, which can be moved up and down by manual rotation through the threaded connection with the threaded column 16, and will produce pressure on the sliding teeth 12 during the movement, thereby triggering a series of chain reactions of the entire folding assembly, realizing the switching of folding and fixing functions. The outer part of the sliding teeth 12 is slidably connected to the inner part of the rotating block two 17, so that the sliding teeth 12 and the rotating block two 17 can interact with each other and participate in the working process of the folding assembly;
[0037] The top end of the rotating block one 11 is fixedly connected with a handlebar 18, which is used for holding by the user during the use of the exercise bike.

The end of the telescopic column 13 away from the sliding teeth 12 is fixedly connected to the inner part of the rotating block two 17, so that the entire structure is more compact and stable, and the components are in close connection, ensuring stable work in various states. The top end of the main body 1 is fixedly connected with a seat cushion 19, which provides a comfortable riding experience for the user, reducing the discomfort of the buttocks during long-term use of the exercise bike, and better focusing on the exercise itself. One end of the telescopic spring 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding teeth 12 away from the rotating block one 11, and the other end of the telescopic spring 14 is fixedly connected to the inner part of the rotating block two 17. Such connection ensures that the telescopic spring 14 can accurately transmit elastic force between the corresponding components to realize the pushing function of the sliding teeth 12. The outer part of the handlebar 18 is in contact with the top end of the main body 1, ensuring the stable position of the handlebar 18 in the normal use state, providing reliable holding support for the user.
[0038] Working principle: when the user uses the device, first sit on the top of the cushion 19, then slide the feet into the inside of the pedals 7, the soles will push the guide rod 9 to slide in the sliding groove 1 8, so that the transmission rod 6 drives the rotating rod 4 to rotate around the fixed column 3, so that the rotating rod 4 drives the limiting column 5 to rotate, the limiting column 5 limits the rear end of the soles, so that the user will not fall off the pedals 7 when using the exercise bike, thus ensuring the safety of the user when using the exercise bike.
[0039] When the exercise bike is used up or needs to be stored, the rotating block two 17 is manually rotated, the rotating block two 17 is rotated outside the threaded column 16, the inclined surface of the sliding tooth 12 is pressed, so as to slide out of the sliding groove two 15, so as to cancel the limiting of the rotating block one 11, at this time, the handle 18 is folded and stored as a whole around the rotating block one 11 as the rotating shaft, so as to reduce the space occupation and facilitate storage, when using, rotate the handle 18 to the original position, rotate the rotating block two 17 in the opposite direction, when the rotating block two 17 is rotated to the specified position outside the threaded column 16, the elastic potential energy accumulated by the extension spring 14 will push the sliding tooth 12 to slide into the inside of the sliding groove two 15, so as to realize the fixing of the position of the rotating block one 11, and ensure the normal use of the exercise bike as a whole.
