[0032] Example 1

[0033] This embodiment incorporates a waterproof drive mechanism within the treadmill, enabling stable underwater operation and providing resistance to improve user running efficiency. The smooth operation is achieved through the coordinated operation of the rolling components and belt. Furthermore, placing the waterproof drive mechanism within the rolling components simplifies the overall structure of the treadmill, enhances operation, and improves the user experience. The specific solution is as follows:

[0034] An underwater treadmill, as shown in the attached image Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 As shown, it includes a rolling assembly 1, a rolling belt 2, a waterproof drive mechanism 3, and a bracket 4;

[0035] The support 4 has a receiving space 5, and the rolling component 1 and the rolling belt 2 are both disposed in the receiving space 5. The two ends of the rolling component 1 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving space 5. The rolling belt 2 is sleeved on the rolling component 1, and the rolling belt 2 forms a running surface 6 above the support 4. The lowest point of the rolling belt 2 is located above the plane formed by the lowest point of the support 4. The waterproof drive mechanism 3 is disposed inside the rolling component 1 and is used to drive the rolling component 1 to rotate, thereby driving the rolling belt 2 to rotate.

[0036] Specifically, the support frame 4 is made of high-strength and corrosion-resistant material, and has an internal receiving space 5 to accommodate and protect the internal mechanical structure. The rolling assembly 1, as the core component for transmitting driving force, is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving space 5 through a bearing system at both ends, ensuring the stable operation of the rolling assembly 1 underwater. The rolling belt 2 is fitted onto the rolling assembly 1, forming a continuous and flat running surface 6 above the support frame 4. The waterproof drive mechanism 3 is built into the rolling assembly 1, which can drive the rolling assembly 1 to rotate smoothly, thereby driving the rolling belt 2 to rotate, to meet the needs of different users.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, the rolling assembly 1 includes a main roller 1a and a secondary roller 1b, and the waterproof drive mechanism 3 is placed inside the main roller 1a; one end of the rolling belt 2 is sleeved on the main roller 1a and the other end is sleeved on the secondary roller 1b, so that the rolling belt 2 is driven to rotate through the main roller 1a, thereby driving the secondary roller 1b to rotate.

[0038] In this embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 3As shown, the rolling assembly 1 consists of a main roller 1a and a driven roller 1b. The main roller 1a serves as the primary power source for the entire rolling assembly 1 and contains a waterproof drive mechanism 3, which stably drives the main roller 1a to rotate. One end of the rolling belt 2 is fitted onto the outer circumference of the main roller 1a, while the other end is fitted onto the driven roller 1b. When the waterproof drive mechanism drives the main roller 1a to rotate, the friction between the outer circumference of the main roller 1a and the rolling belt 2 transmits this rotational power to the rolling belt 2, causing it to begin circulating rotation, which in turn drives the driven roller 1b to rotate. This dual-roller design not only enhances the stability of the rolling belt operation but also makes power transmission more efficient.

[0039] In one specific embodiment, it also includes a handrail assembly 7, which includes a first handrail assembly 7a and / or a second handrail assembly 7b. The first handrail assembly 7a is disposed on one side of the support 4 in the width direction of the running surface 6; the second handrail assembly 7b is disposed on the support 4 on the other side in the width direction of the running surface 6.

[0040] To further enhance user experience and safety, a handrail assembly 7 is added in this embodiment. In this embodiment, the handrail assembly 7 includes a first handrail assembly 7a and a second handrail assembly 7b. The first handrail assembly 7a is located on one side of the running surface 6 in the width direction, and the second handrail assembly 7b is located on the other side of the running surface 6 in the width direction, symmetrically opposite to the first handrail assembly 7a. The layout of the first handrail assembly 7a and the second handrail assembly 7b conforms to ergonomic principles, increases the flexibility of use, and improves the user experience.

[0041] In one specific embodiment, the first handrail assembly 7a or the second handrail assembly 7b includes a first link 7c, a second link 7d and a transverse handrail 7e. The first link 7c and the second link 7d are disposed on the support 4 and extend toward the side of the support 4 near the running surface 6. One end of the transverse handrail 7e is connected to the end of the first link 7c away from the support 4, and the other end of the transverse handrail 7e is connected to the end of the second link 7d away from the support 4.

[0042] In this embodiment, both the first handrail assembly 7a and the second handrail assembly 7b include a first link 7c, a second link 7d, and a transverse handrail 7e. The connection method of the first link 7c, the second link 7d, and the transverse handrail 7e enhances the overall stability of the handrail assembly 7, providing users with additional safety during running.

[0043] In one specific embodiment, as shown in the appendix Figure 4As shown, it also includes an adjustment mechanism 8. Both ends of the adjustment mechanism 8 are movably connected to the inner wall of the accommodating space 5 and abut against the side of the rolling belt 2 away from the running surface 6. The adjustment mechanism 8 is used to reciprocate along the height direction of the support 4, thereby adjusting the tension of the rolling belt 2. The adjustment mechanism 8 abuts against the back of the rolling belt 2 (i.e., the side away from the user's running surface 6), allowing the adjustment mechanism 8 to apply the necessary adjustment force to the rolling belt 2 without interfering with the user's normal running experience. In practical applications, the adjustment mechanism 8 can be moved up and down by an additional drive mechanism or manually or otherwise to increase or decrease the pressure on the rolling belt 2, thereby adjusting the tension of the rolling belt 2.

[0044] In one specific embodiment, the bracket 4 further includes a rotating shaft 9, which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the accommodating space 5, and the rolling assembly 1 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 9. The design of the rotating shaft 9 improves the structural stability and smooth operation of the overall equipment. In practical applications, the material and dimensions of the rotating shaft 9 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0045] In one specific embodiment, a support component 10 is also included. One side of the support component 10 is fixedly connected to the support frame 4, and the other side of the support component 10 abuts against the inner side of the running surface 6. To further enhance the stability and durability of the treadmill, this embodiment also includes a support component 10. The fixed connection between one side of the support component 10 and the support frame 4 ensures that the support component 10 is firmly attached to the support frame 4, preventing loosening or displacement. Simultaneously, the other side of the support component 10 abuts tightly against the inner side of the running surface 6, effectively dispersing the stress generated by the running surface 6 when subjected to impact, and providing additional support to the running surface 6, preventing deformation or damage due to prolonged use or overload operation. The support component 10 makes the treadmill structurally more stable, capable of withstanding greater impact forces and loads, thereby providing users with a safer and more comfortable running experience, while also extending the treadmill's lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

[0046] In one specific embodiment, the outer surface of the rolling belt 2 and / or the handrail assembly 7 is provided with an anti-slip layer. In this embodiment, in order to improve the safety and comfort of the user during use, an anti-slip layer is specially added to the outer surface of the rolling belt 2 and the handrail assembly 7, which effectively reduces the risk of slipping due to factors such as underwater slippery environment or rapid movements.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, a control component is also included. The control component is electrically connected to the waterproof drive mechanism 3 and is used to adjust the rotational speed of the waterproof drive mechanism 3. The control component and the waterproof drive mechanism 3 achieve a stable and reliable electrical connection, ensuring accurate signal transmission and efficient execution, and precisely adjusting the rotational speed of the waterproof drive mechanism 3 to meet the power requirements under different operating conditions.

[0048] Furthermore, in order to achieve more flexible and precise speed control, this embodiment provides two speed control modes: stepless speed control and gear speed control.

[0049] In stepless speed regulation mode, the control component utilizes advanced frequency conversion technology to achieve smooth and continuous speed adjustment by continuously adjusting the power frequency supplied to the waterproof drive mechanism 3. This speed regulation method not only responds quickly but also has a wide speed range, accurately matching various load changes and ensuring efficient and stable equipment operation. In practical applications, users can easily set and adjust the required speed according to actual needs through the control panel or remote control system.

[0050] In gear-shift speed control mode, the speed of the waterproof drive mechanism 3 is divided into several fixed gears by preset different speed ranges. Users can select the most suitable gear for operation according to specific application scenarios. Gear-shift speed control mode simplifies the operation process, enabling quick switching to the appropriate speed under specific working conditions and improving work efficiency. At the same time, gear-shift speed control also facilitates daily maintenance and troubleshooting of the equipment, reducing the difficulty and complexity of operation.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, the waterproof drive mechanism 3 includes a waterproof motor to ensure stable operation in humid, wet, or high-humidity environments, without being damaged or having its performance affected by moisture. Furthermore, considering human safety voltage standards and reducing the risk of electric shock in accidental situations, a low-voltage waterproof motor of less than 36V is used in practical applications. Preferably, this embodiment uses a 24V low-voltage waterproof motor, which meets safety regulations and provides sufficient driving force while reducing energy consumption.

[0052] This invention enables the treadmill to operate smoothly underwater by incorporating a waterproof drive mechanism, providing resistance and improving user exercise efficiency. The smooth operation of the treadmill is achieved through the coordinated operation of the rolling components and the rolling belt. Furthermore, placing the waterproof drive mechanism inside the rolling components simplifies the overall structure of the treadmill, makes operation easier, and enhances the user experience.

[0053] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
