Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports equipment technology, specifically a rowing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Rowing machines are a common type of fitness equipment. Folding rowing machines mainly include:

[0003] The drag system support frame, usually located at the front of the rowing machine, is used to secure the drag system.

[0004] A footrest is a platform that provides support and a foothold for the user.

[0005] The guide rail is used to support the stool and provide a sliding track for the stool.

[0006] Hinges are used to connect adjacent resistance system support frames and footrests, allowing them to rotate relative to each other and achieve folding.

[0007] The drag system can be either wind resistance or water resistance. The wind resistance system consists of a fan impeller and a housing. The impeller rotation generates wind resistance and provides drag adjustment function. The water resistance system mainly includes a water tank, blades, and a drive shaft. The blades in the water tank are connected to the foot pedal or handle through the drive shaft. When the user paddles, the blades rotate in the water to generate resistance.

[0008] For some folding rowing machines, special designs are often used to improve stability when unfolded. For example, the rowing machine storage structure disclosed in CN221557491U uses stops to prevent the rear and front frames from rotating away from the ground, thereby increasing stability. However, this solution undoubtedly makes the structure relatively complex, increases manufacturing costs, and is not aesthetically pleasing. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this invention is to improve the tactile experience and provide a rowing device.

[0010] To address the above problems, the present invention proposes a rowing device comprising:

[0011] The drag system support frame is located at the front of the rowing machine, and the drag system and foot pedals are installed on the drag system support frame.

[0012] A guide rail frame, which is adjacent to the resistance system support frame, and a stool that slides with it is installed on the guide rail frame;

[0013] The hinge connects the adjacent guide rail frame and the resistance system support frame, allowing the resistance system support frame and the guide rail frame to be unfolded into a horizontal state or rotated relative to each other into a folded state.

[0014] The adjacent surfaces of the guide rail frame and the resistance system support frame are set as inclined planes, and the two inclined planes match each other. The hinge is set below the guide rail frame and the resistance system support frame. When the resistance system support frame and the guide rail frame are unfolded, they will press against each other through the inclined planes under the action of gravity, and the inclined planes can prevent the guide rail frame and the resistance system support frame from rotating away from the ground.

[0015] Furthermore, the resistance system support frame or guide rail frame has one or both of them equipped with a tie rod, which is installed at an adjacent position between the resistance system support frame and the guide rail frame.

[0016] Furthermore, pulleys are provided at the far end of the guide rail frame and the resistance system support frame, and the pulleys contact the ground during the folding process; pads are provided at the bottom of the guide rail frame and the resistance system support frame, and in the horizontal state, the pads raise the resistance system support frame and the guide rail frame so that the pulleys are off the ground.

[0017] Furthermore, the pad is made of rubber.

[0018] Furthermore, the pads at the bottom of the guide rail frame and the resistance system support frame are staggered when they are folded, and respectively abut against the opposite guide rail frame and resistance system support frame.

[0019] Furthermore, the pads at the bottom of the guide rail frame and the resistance system support frame interlock with each other when they are folded.

[0020] Furthermore, the resistance system is provided with a cover plate, and a mobile phone holder is provided on the top of the cover plate.

[0021] Furthermore, the mobile phone holder includes a support plate pivotally connected to the cover plate and a diagonal brace mounted on the support plate, the diagonal brace being pivotally connected to the support plate and capable of adjusting the angle of the support plate by rotation.

[0022] Furthermore, the cover plate is provided with grooves or protrusions corresponding to the inclined supports.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies, this invention utilizes the principles of gravity and inclined planes to improve product stability. When the resistance system support frame and guide rail frame are deployed, the inclined planes between them interlock, generating mutual pressure under the action of gravity, thereby increasing stability. Simultaneously, these two inclined planes also prevent the guide rail frame and resistance system support frame 1 from rotating away from the ground, further enhancing product stability.

[0024] This design approach also has the following advantages:

[0025] With its simple structure, requiring only the addition of inclined planes, the manufacturing cost of the product can be greatly reduced.

[0026] The unfolding and folding process is smooth and easy to operate, greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0027] When unfolded, it forms a single unit with a simpler appearance that better aligns with modern product aesthetics, thus facilitating product promotion and sales in the market. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 The rowing machine shown includes:

[0037] The drag system support frame 1 is located at the front end of the rowing machine, and the drag system 2 and foot pedal 3 are installed on the drag system support frame 1.

[0038] The guide rail frame 4 is adjacent to the resistance system support frame 1, and a stool 5 that slides with it is installed on the guide rail frame 4.

[0039] Hinge 6 connects the adjacent guide rail frame 4 and the resistance system support frame 1, so that the resistance system support frame 1 and the guide rail frame 4 can be unfolded into a horizontal state or rotated relative to each other into a folded state.

[0040] The adjacent surfaces of the guide rail frame 4 and the resistance system support frame 1 are set as inclined planes 7, and the two inclined planes 7 match each other. The hinge 6 is set below the guide rail frame 4 and the resistance system support frame 1. When the resistance system support frame 1 and the guide rail frame 4 are unfolded, they will press against each other through the inclined planes 7 under the action of gravity, and the inclined planes 7 can prevent the guide rail frame 4 and the resistance system support frame 1 from rotating away from the ground.

[0041] The ingenious design lies in its use of gravity and the inclined plane 7 to enhance product stability. When the resistance system support frame 1 and the guide rail frame 4 are deployed, the inclined planes 7 interlock, creating mutual pressure under gravity, thus increasing stability. Simultaneously, these two inclined planes 7 also prevent the guide rail frame 4 and the resistance system support frame 1 from rotating away from the ground, further enhancing product stability.

[0042] In addition, this design approach has the following advantages:

[0043] With its simple structure, requiring only the setting of inclined plane 7, the manufacturing cost of the product can be greatly reduced.

[0044] The unfolding and folding process is smooth and easy to operate, greatly enhancing the user experience.

[0045] When unfolded, it forms a single unit with a simpler appearance that better aligns with modern product aesthetics, thus facilitating product promotion and sales in the market.

[0046] In this embodiment, the resistance system support frame 1 or the guide rail frame 4 is provided with one or both of them, and the pull rod 8 is installed at an adjacent position between the resistance system support frame 1 and the guide rail frame 4. The main function of the pull rod 8 is to facilitate folding. When folding is required, it can be achieved by pulling the pull rod 8 upward. During the upward pulling of the pull rod 8, under the action of gravity, the two ends of the resistance system support frame 1 or the guide rail frame 4 can automatically rotate in the opposite direction to fold. Based on this, in this embodiment, a pulley 9 is provided at the far end of the guide rail frame 4 and the resistance system support frame 1. The pulley 9 contacts the ground during the folding process to avoid friction and wear, and also to make the folding process smoother. At the same time, a pad 10 is provided at the bottom of the guide rail frame 4 and the resistance system support frame 1. In a horizontal state, the pad 10 raises the resistance system support frame 1 and the guide rail frame 4 so that the pulley 9 is off the ground (e.g., Figure 2 This prevents the rowing machine from moving after unfolding. It should be noted that the pad 10 also reduces the contact area between the rowing machine and the ground, making the rowing machine more stable when placed on the ground.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the pad 10 is made of rubber. One advantage of rubber is that it increases friction, making the rowing machine more stable when placed on the ground.

[0048] Furthermore, during the folding process, especially at the moment of folding into place, a collision inevitably occurs between the guide rail frame 4 and the resistance system support frame 1. In this embodiment, the pads 10 at the bottom of the guide rail frame 4 and the resistance system support frame 1 can be staggered when they are folded (e.g., ...). Figure 4 The rubber pads 10 are respectively positioned to cushion the impact of collisions on the opposite guide rail frame 4 and the resistance system support frame 1, thus ensuring the safety and durability of the rowing machine.

[0049] Based on the same consideration, the pads 10 at the bottom of the guide rail frame 4 and the resistance system support frame 1 can also be set without being staggered, and the two pads 10 can be set opposite each other. However, the gap after folding will be relatively large. Therefore, it is preferable to set them in an alternating manner.

[0050] However, considering the potential safety hazard of the rowing machine accidentally opening after folding, this embodiment can provide a slot on the pad 10. Using this slot, after folding, the guide rail frame 4 and the pad 10 at the bottom of the resistance system support frame 1 can engage with each other (e.g., ...). Figure 5 The friction between the pads 10 creates a locking mechanism to prevent the rowing machine from opening accidentally. It can be seen that this design, because it is not staggered, inevitably leads to a larger gap after folding. However, the slot design can relatively reduce this gap. Therefore, although it will result in a slightly larger gap after folding, it is acceptable because it can effectively prevent the safety hazards caused by accidental opening.

[0051] In this embodiment, the resistance system 2 is provided with a cover plate 11, and a mobile phone holder 12 is provided on the top of the cover plate 11. The function of the mobile phone holder 12 is to facilitate the placement of electronic devices. This design is mainly to allow users to perform other activities at the same time during exercise, such as listening to music or watching videos, so as to reduce the boredom of the exercise process.

[0052] Preferably, the phone holder 12 includes a support plate 121 pivotally connected to the cover plate 11 and a diagonal brace 122 mounted on the support plate 121. The diagonal brace 122 is pivotally connected to the support plate 121 and its angle can be adjusted by rotation. Users can easily adjust the angle of the phone holder 12 to the most suitable position according to their needs, thereby obtaining the best user experience. Furthermore, the support plate 121 is provided with a mounting opening, and the diagonal brace 122 is pivotally connected to the inside of the mounting opening 123. This allows the diagonal brace 122 to be completely hidden in the mounting opening 123 when retracted, thus ensuring the rowing device's neatness and safety.

[0053] Preferably, the cover plate 11 is provided with a groove 111 or a protrusion corresponding to the diagonal brace 122, and the number of grooves 111 or protrusions can be set as needed. By providing grooves 111 or protrusions, the diagonal brace 122 can be positioned by being locked in the groove 111 or pressed against the protrusion, thus ensuring that the diagonal brace 122 will not be displaced.

[0054] The technical principles of this utility model have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can readily conceive of other specific embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
