Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment technology, and in particular to a foot pad assembly with lifting function. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the importance attached to health, treadmills and walking machines have gradually become common home fitness equipment. For example, invention application with announcement number CN117339167A and invention patent with announcement number CN110624210B respectively disclose a similar treadmill and walking machine.

[0003] Existing treadmills and walking machines mainly consist of a running platform, which serves as a support for the runner and induces a backward movement, allowing the runner to simulate running in place. Therefore, the running platform functions as a running track. However, the running platforms of traditional treadmills or walking machines are usually laid at a fixed horizontal angle. This prevents runners from adjusting the intensity of their workout according to their physical capabilities, resulting in a relatively limited function that needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a foot pad assembly with a lifting function. It can quickly adjust the lifting angle of the component to be lifted (such as a treadmill) as needed, thereby adapting to users with different physical abilities and making it more user-friendly.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:

[0006] A foot pad assembly with lifting function includes a long strip-shaped foot pad body with one end pivotally connected to the bottom of the part to be lifted, and an elastic drive mechanism is provided between the foot pad body and the part to be lifted to drive the foot pad body to flip downward to an open state.

[0007] When the part to be lifted responds to an external trigger to lift up in order to relieve the pressure on the foot pad body, the elastic drive mechanism can drive the foot pad body to open downward, thereby raising one side of the part to be lifted and increasing the lifting angle of the part to be lifted.

[0008] When the foot pad body is in the extended state and the lifting component responds to an external trigger to lift up, so that the lower end of the foot pad body is lifted off the ground, the foot pad body can respond to the external trigger and overcome the elastic force of the elastic drive mechanism to flip upward to the folded state, and remain in the folded state under the pressure of the lifting component, thereby reducing the lifting angle of the lifting component.

[0009] Using the above solution, by lifting the component to be lifted (such as a treadmill), the elastic drive mechanism can drive the footpad body to expand downwards, raising one side of the component to be lifted, thereby increasing the lifting angle of the component to be lifted (such as a treadmill) to suit users with good physical fitness. When the user's physical fitness is weaker, by lifting the component to be lifted and overcoming the elastic force of the elastic drive mechanism to drive the footpad body upwards and then pressing the footpad body down with the component to be lifted, the lifting angle of the component to be lifted can be reduced, thereby increasing the applicability of the component to be lifted.

[0010] Preferably, a support member is provided on one side of the foot pad body in the opening direction and near the part to be lifted. When the foot pad body is in the open state, the upper surface of the support member abuts against the lower surface of the part to be lifted.

[0011] By adopting the above solution, the contact between the support component and the lower surface of the component to be lifted can increase the contact area between the foot pad body and the component to be lifted when the foot pad body is opened, thereby improving the stability of the foot pad body after it is opened, and thus increasing the stability of the component to be lifted after the angle is raised.

[0012] Preferably, a support member 2 is provided on one side of the foot pad body at a position away from the part to be lifted. When the foot pad body is in the open state, the lower surface of the support member 2 can abut against the ground.

[0013] By adopting the above solution, the second support component can not only make the foot pad body more robust, but also increase the contact area between the lower end of the foot pad body and the ground, thereby further improving the stability of the foot pad body after it is spread out, making the lifting component more stable after the angle is raised.

[0014] Preferably, the second support is located on one side of the foot pad body in the direction of its opening.

[0015] By adopting the above solution, the second support member can share more of the pressure applied to the foot pad body, which can not only prevent the foot pad body from deforming, but also further improve its stability after being spread out.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the part to be lifted is provided with a pivot seat, and the foot pad body is provided with a pivot groove for the pivot seat to be inserted along the flipping direction of the foot pad body at one end near the part to be lifted. A pivot shaft that rotates through the pivot seat is provided between two opposite side walls in the pivot groove.

[0017] By adopting the above solution, the cooperation of the pivot shaft, pivot groove and pivot axis can help the foot pad body to rotate stably and smoothly under the part to be lifted, further improving the efficiency and convenience of use.

[0018] Preferably, the elastic drive mechanism is a torsion spring sleeved on the pivot shaft, with one end of the torsion spring connected to the foot pad body and the other end connected to the pivot seat, so that the foot pad body has a tendency to flip downward.

[0019] The above solution provides a simple torsion spring structure, easy installation, low cost, and stable and long-lasting elastic torque, thereby improving the performance of the elastic drive mechanism.

[0020] Preferably, the foot pad body is fitted with a shell.

[0021] By adopting the above solution, the outer shell can not only protect the foot pad itself, but also increase the aesthetics of the foot pad, making it more user-friendly.

[0022] Preferably, there are two foot pads, which are respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the part to be lifted and in a forward position.

[0023] By adopting the above solution, the structure becomes more stable after the angle of the component to be lifted is increased, and the lifting angle becomes more obvious, thereby further improving the lifting effect of the foot pad.

[0024] As a preferred option, the component to be lifted is a running platform.

[0025] The above solution enables the foot pad assembly to be widely used in treadmills, walking machines and other treadmill-type fitness equipment, further increasing its applicability.

[0026] This invention, by employing the above technical solution, has significant technical effects: by lifting the component to be lifted (such as a treadmill), the elastic drive mechanism can drive the footpad body to expand downwards, thereby raising one side of the component to be lifted and increasing the lifting angle of the component to be lifted (such as a treadmill) to suit users with high physical fitness. When the user's physical fitness is weak, by lifting the component to be lifted and overcoming the elastic force of the elastic drive mechanism to drive the footpad body upwards and then pressing the footpad body down with the component to be lifted, the lifting angle of the component to be lifted can be reduced, thereby increasing the applicability of the component to be lifted.

Pivot seat; 6. Pivot groove; 7. Pivot shaft; 8. Outer shell; 9. Component to be lifted. Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment discloses a foot pad assembly with a lifting function, including a long strip-shaped foot pad body 1 with one end pivotally connected to the bottom of a component 9 to be lifted. The component 9 to be lifted is a running platform, which can be widely used in fitness equipment such as treadmills and walking machines. The rotation plane of the foot pad body 1 is arranged along the running direction of the running platform. An elastic drive mechanism 2 is provided between the foot pad body 1 and the component 9 to be lifted, driving the foot pad body 1 to flip downwards to an open state, thereby effectively improving the efficiency and convenience of lifting the component 9 at an angle.

[0036] In this embodiment, when the member to be lifted 9 responds to an external trigger to lift up in order to relieve the pressure of the foot pad body 1, the elastic drive mechanism 2 can drive the foot pad body 1 to open downward, thereby raising one side of the member to be lifted 9 and increasing the lifting angle of the member to be lifted 9.

[0037] Correspondingly, when the foot pad body 1 is in the open state and the lifting member 9 responds to the external trigger to lift up so that the lower end of the foot pad body 1 is lifted off the ground, the foot pad body 1 can respond to the external trigger and overcome the elastic force of the elastic drive mechanism 2 to flip upward to the closed state, and remain in the closed state under the pressure of the lifting member 9, thereby reducing the lifting angle of the lifting member 9.

[0038] To improve the stability of the foot pad body 1 after it is extended, a support member 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the foot pad body 1 in the extension direction, near the lifting member 9. When the foot pad body 1 is extended, the upper surface of the support member 3 abuts against the lower surface of the lifting member 9. Simultaneously, a second support member 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the foot pad body 1, away from the lifting member 9. When the foot pad body 1 is extended, the lower surface of the second support member 4 can abut against the ground. To further enhance the effect of the second support member 4, it is located on one side of the foot pad body 1 in the extension direction.

[0039] To improve the stability and smoothness of the foot pad body 1 during flipping, a pivot seat 5 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the part to be lifted 9. A pivot groove 6 is provided at one end of the foot pad body 1 near the part to be lifted 9 along the flipping direction of the foot pad body 1 for the pivot seat 5 to be inserted. A pivot shaft 7 is fixedly provided between two opposite side walls in the pivot groove 6, which rotatably passes through the pivot seat 5. The elastic drive mechanism 2 is a torsion spring sleeved on the pivot shaft 7. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the foot pad body 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the pivot seat 5, so that the foot pad body 1 has a downward flipping tendency.

[0040] To enhance the protective and aesthetic features of the foot pad body 1, an outer shell 8 is fitted onto the foot pad body 1.

[0041] In order to improve the support and lifting effect of the foot pad body 1, there are two foot pad bodies 1, which are respectively located on both sides of the bottom of the part to be lifted 9 and in a forward position of the part to be lifted 9.

[0042] The specific usage process is as follows:

[0043] When it is necessary to increase the lifting angle of the component 9 (i.e., the running platform), simply lift the front end of the component 9 by hand to create distance between it and the ground. This relieves the pressure on the foot pad body 1, allowing the elastic drive mechanism 2 to drive the foot pad body 1 to flip downwards into an open state, and causing the support member 3 to abut against the lower surface of the component 9. At this point, lowering the component 9 allows the lower end of the foot pad body 1 to touch the ground, while the support member 4 provides auxiliary support, thereby raising one side of the component 9 and increasing its lifting angle.

[0044] When it is necessary to reduce the lifting angle of the lifting component 9 (i.e., the running platform), lift the front end of the lifting component 9 again so that the lower end of the foot pad body 1 is lifted off the ground. At this time, use your hand to overcome the elastic force of the elastic drive mechanism 2 to drive the foot pad body 1 upward to the folded state, and then lower the lifting component 9 so that the lifting component 9 presses down on the foot pad body 1, thus completing the angle adjustment of the lifting component 9.
