Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment technology, specifically a bench press rack safety monitoring and alarm device. Background Technology

[0002] A bench press rack, also known as a bench press stand, is a common piece of fitness equipment primarily used for bench press exercises, which involve pressing a barbell to work the chest, shoulders, and triceps muscles. The bench press is an important strength training exercise, typically used to increase upper body strength and muscle mass. A bench press rack provides support and helps trainees maintain safety while performing the bench press.

[0003] Currently, bench press racks have improved safety through corresponding measures. However, if the barbell falls during bench press training due to the trainee's mistake, it can still cause injury to the trainee, making it impossible for them to leave the bench press rack on their own. Therefore, it is necessary to have a training partner to monitor the safety of trainees performing bench presses at all times. Utility Model Content

[0041] The protective mechanism 2 extends longitudinally to support the falling barbell and trigger an alarm, such as... Figure 2 As shown, it includes:

[0042] A Π-shaped column sleeve 210 is horizontally fastened to the outside of the column 15. The column sleeve 210 has longitudinal through holes 211 that match the longitudinal through holes on its symmetrical side plates, and a locking rod 22 is inserted therein. A transverse insert rod 212 extends into the opening of the column sleeve 210. The transverse insert rod 212 is inserted into the transverse through hole and extends to the outside of the column 15. The end of the extension of the transverse insert rod 212 has a through hole 213. There are two transverse insert rods 212. The through holes 213 on the two transverse insert rods 212 are coaxially arranged in the vertical direction and a safety rod 23 is inserted therein. The column sleeves 210 are fastened to the two longitudinal columns 15 and are set at the same height. A protective arm 24 is fixed between the two column sleeves 210. The upper end face of the protective arm 24 is set as a V-shaped slope, and the lowest point of the V-shaped slope is set on the side where the hook 3 is placed. An alarm mechanism 25 is set inside the protective arm 24.

[0043] The alarm mechanism 25, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes:

[0044] A trigger protrusion 2511 is provided at the lowest point of the upper end face of the protective arm 24. The trigger protrusion 2511 is slidably provided in the vertical direction. The trigger protrusion 2511 extends into the column 15 and is provided with a hinge rod 2512 extending longitudinally. A thrust spring 2513 is provided at the lower end of the trigger protrusion 2511. The thrust spring 2513 abuts against the hollow lower inner bottom of the column 15.

[0045] A hinge arm 252 is hinged to the hinge rod 2512. The middle part of the hinge arm 252 is located on a rotating shaft that extends laterally and is rotatably connected to the hollow inner wall of the column 15.

[0046] At the end of the hinge arm 252, there is a fixing rod 253 that is fixedly connected to the hollow upper inner top of the column 15. The fixing rod 253 extends downward to the outside of the column 15 and is fixedly installed with an alarm cover 254.

[0047] A rotating sleeve rod 2551 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the fixed rod 253. A limiting rod 2552, a first gear 2553, and a lever 2554 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve rod 2551. The limiting rod 2552 and the first gear 2553 are located inside the hollow interior of the column 15. The limiting rod 2552 abuts against the end of the hinge arm 252. The lever 2554 is located outside the column 15.

[0048] A hinge seat 2561 is provided on the lower outer bottom of the column 15 above the alarm cover 254. A rotating arm 2562 is rotatably provided on the hinge seat 2561. The rotation axis of the rotating arm 2562 is arranged in the vertical direction. One end of the rotating arm 2562 matches the lever 2554. The other end of the rotating arm 2562 is provided with a striking ball 2563 for striking the alarm cover 254.

[0049] A spring rod 2571 is rotatably mounted on the column 15 on one side of the fixed rod 253. The upper end of the spring rod 2571 extends to the "V"-shaped slope on the upper end face of the protective arm 24. A second gear 2572 and a spring disc 2573 are fixedly mounted on the spring rod 2571. The second gear 2572 meshes with the first gear 2553. The inner ring of the spring disc 2573 is fixedly connected to the spring rod 2571, and the outer ring is fixedly connected to the extension rod on the lower inner bottom of the column 15.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, two sets of placement hooks 3 are arranged horizontally and are positioned at the same height above the protective mechanism 2 for placing barbells.

[0051] Based on the specific structure of the bench press rack safety monitoring and alarm device in the above embodiments, its working process will be further explained below:

[0052] A. Preliminary preparations:

[0053] Rotate the spring rod 2571 to tighten the spring disc 2573;

[0054] At this time, under the thrust of the thrust spring 2513, the trigger protrusion 2511 is at the uppermost position, and the hinge rod 2512 is also at the uppermost position. The end of the hinge arm 252 is engaged with the limit rod 2552.

[0055] At the same time, the first gear 2553 and the second gear 2572 mesh with each other, keeping the mainspring disc 2573 in a tightly wound state.

[0056] B. Alarm Triggered:

[0057] When the barbell falls accidentally, it lands at the lowest point of the "V"-shaped ramp on the upper surface of the protective arm 24 and presses down the protrusion 2511.

[0058] At this time, the hinge rod 2512 moves down, causing the hinge arm 252 to rotate, and the end of the hinge arm 252 disengages from the limiting rod 2552.

[0059] At the same time, the tightened mainspring disc 2573 drives the mainspring lever 2571 to rotate. Since the first gear 2553 and the second gear 2572 mesh with each other, they drive the rotating sleeve lever 2551 to rotate, causing the lever 2554 to move the rotating arm 2562, and the striking ball 2563 to strike the alarm cover 254 and emit an alarm sound.

[0060] In summary, the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification. All equivalent variations and modifications of the shape, structure, features, and spirit described in the claims of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
