The angle θ1 is, for example, 90 degrees. The third rod 114 is configured to abut against the base 220 of the squatting equipment 200. In this embodiment, the second magnetic component 115 embedded in the third rod 114 is configured to magnetically connect to the base 220 of the squatting equipment 200, thereby further improving the stability of the connection between the connecting rod 110 and the squatting equipment 200.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 6 . Figure 6This is a partially enlarged schematic diagram illustrating a squat depth gauge 100 according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as... Figure 6 As shown, the connecting rod 110 includes a first rod body 111, a plurality of second rod bodies 112, and a plug rod 116. The second rod bodies 112 are telescopically connected to each other, and one of the second rod bodies 112 is telescopically connected to the first rod body 111. Each of the second rod bodies 112 has a plurality of second scales S2 (see [reference needed] for the second scales S2). Figure 2 The insertion rod 116 connects to the first rod 111 and forms an angle θ2 with the first rod 111, for example, 90 degrees. The insertion rod 116 is configured to insert into a hole in the squatting equipment 200, for example, into a hole H on the protective rod 210 of the squatting equipment 200, so that the connecting rod 110 extends vertically downward. Specifically, the elastic connector 120 connects one of the first rod 111 and the second rod 112. Figure 6 As shown, the elastic connector 120 connects to the first rod 111.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 7 . Figure 7 This is a partially enlarged side view illustrating a squat depth gauge 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as... Figure 7 As shown, the connecting rod 110 includes a first rod body 111, a plurality of second rod bodies 112, and a pivot assembly 117. The first rod body 111 has a first scale S1 thereon. The second rod bodies 112 are telescopically connected to each other, and one of the second rod bodies 112 is telescopically connected to the first rod body 111. An elastic connector 120 (see reference 120) is also included. Figures 1 to 6 Connecting one of the first rod 111 and the second rod 112, the second rod 112 has a second scale S2 (please refer to the second scale S2). Figure 2 The pivot assembly 117 is connected to one end of the first rod 111 and is configured to connect to the protective rod 210 of the squatting equipment 200, allowing the first rod 111 together with the second rod 112 to rotate relative to the squatting equipment 200 in the rotational direction R1. For example, the pivot assembly 117 may be a screw or other locking assembly, but this invention is not limited thereto.

[0075] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the connecting rod 110 further includes a magnetic component 118. The magnetic component 118 is at least partially embedded at the other end of the first rod 111 away from the pivot component 117 and is configured to magnetically connect to the squatting equipment 200. When the first rod 111, together with the second rod 112, rotates relative to the squatting equipment 200 in the rotation direction R1, as... Figure 7 As shown by the dotted line, the magnetic component 118 can be magnetically connected to the protective rod 210 of the squatting equipment 200, which is beneficial for fixing the connecting rod 110 to the squatting equipment 200.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 8 . Figure 8 This is a partially enlarged side view illustrating a squat depth gauge 100 according to another embodiment of this invention. Depending on the actual situation, such as... Figure 8 As shown, the pivot assembly 117 is configured to connect to the base frame 220 of the squatting equipment 200, allowing the first bar 111 together with the second bar 112 to rotate relative to the squatting equipment 200 in the rotational direction R2. Similarly, when the first bar 111 together with the second bar 112 rotates relative to the squatting equipment 200 in the rotational direction R2, as... Figure 8 As shown by the dotted line, the magnetic component 118, which is at least partially embedded at the other end of the first rod 111 away from the pivot component 117, can be magnetically connected to the base frame 220 of the squatting equipment 200, which is advantageous for fixing the connecting rod 110 to the squatting equipment 200.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 9 . Figure 9 This is a partially enlarged schematic diagram illustrating a squat depth gauge 100 according to yet another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, as... Figure 9 As shown, the squat depth gauge 100 further includes a first support rod 130 and two second support rods 140. The first support rod 130 is connected between the connecting rods 110 and has multiple third graduations S3 on it. The second support rods 140 each have a first end 141 and a second end 142, respectively. The first end 141 is connected to one of the connecting rods 110, and the second end 142 is connected to the squat equipment 200. Specifically, the connecting rod 110 extends and retracts along a first direction D1, the first support rod 130 extends and retracts along a second direction D2, and the second support rods 140 extend and retract along a third direction D3, wherein the first direction D1, the second direction D2, and the third direction D3 are perpendicular to each other. Since the connecting rod 110, the first support rod 130 and the second support rod 140 can be extended and shortened respectively, when the squat depth gauge 100 is no longer in use, the user 400 can easily shorten the connecting rod 110, the first support rod 130 and the second support rod 140 respectively, thereby effectively reducing the space occupied by the squat depth gauge 100, which is conducive to storing or carrying the squat depth gauge 100.

[0078] In addition, the telescoping property of the first support rod 130 along the second direction D2 allows the connecting rod 110 to align with squatting equipment 200 of different widths. Furthermore, the third scale S3 on the first support rod 130 allows the user 400 to know the width of the squatting equipment 200, so that the first support rod 130 can be adjusted to the appropriate length each time the squatting depth gauge 100 is used, thereby improving the ease of use of the squatting depth gauge 100.

[0079] Furthermore, such asFigure 9 As shown, at least one of the second support rods 140 has multiple fourth markings S4 on it. In practical applications, the user 400 can identify their standing position according to the fourth markings S4, which helps to quickly find the standard squatting position before each squat.

[0080] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, the squat depth gauge 100 includes at least one magnetic component 143. The magnetic component 143 is at least partially embedded in the second end 142 of one of the second support rods 140 and is configured to magnetically connect to the squatting equipment 200 to fix the position of the squat depth gauge 100 relative to the squatting equipment 200.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 10 . Figure 10 To illustrate along Figure 9 A schematic diagram showing the local effect of arrow direction A. In this embodiment, as... Figure 10 As shown, the connecting rod 110 is pivotally connected to the first end 141 of the corresponding second support rod 140, and is configured to rotate relative to the second support rod 140 in the rotation direction R3, so as to further reduce the space occupied by the squat depth gauge 100 and facilitate the storage or carrying of the squat depth gauge 100.

[0082] In summary, the technical solution disclosed in the above embodiments of this invention has at least the following advantages:

[0083] (1) When the user squats between the connecting bars, his / her buttocks will come into contact with the elastic connector. In this way, the user can easily know that the depth of his / her squat has reached the default depth target, which is conducive to the user to carry out the correct squat training.

[0084] (2) Since the squat depth gauge adopts an open design with a telescopic rod, users can adjust the squat depth to their own suitable squat depth according to their individual body characteristics such as height and leg length when performing squats, thereby improving the applicability of the squat depth gauge.

[0085] (3) Since the squat depth gauge is easy to connect to the squat equipment and the squat equipment does not need to be structurally modified, the practicality of the squat depth gauge can be improved.

[0086] (4) Since the squatting depth gauge can effectively reduce the space occupied after use, it is easy to store or carry.

[0087] Although the invention has been disclosed above with respect to the embodiments, it is not intended to limit the invention. Anyone skilled in the art may make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the invention shall be determined by the scope of the appended patent application.
