Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to treadmill technical field, concretely relates to an air bag damping treadmill and air bag mounting structure thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Treadmill is commonly used fitness equipment, and is widely used in family and commercial fitness places. In order to reduce the impact of running platform, a damping device is generally arranged between the running plate and the chassis. The type of damping device is various, including rubber damping, silica gel damping, spring damping and air bag damping appeared in recent years.

[0003] The traditional air bag mounting structure is that the air bag is fixed on the chassis through the air bag fixing frame, and the relative movement occurs between the air bag and the running plate, for example, Chinese patent publication (CN111840899A) and Chinese patent publication (CN104623865A). Because there is a double-foot emptying stage in the running process, the running plate will be separated from the top surface of the air bag in the double-foot emptying stage, and after landing, the running plate will quickly impact the air bag and force the running plate to quickly impact the air bag, and the local high stress of the top surface of the air bag is prone to wear and tear.

[0004] In addition, for the air bag damping treadmill, a gas pump is needed to inflate and deflate the air bag. Chinese patent publication (CN206275968U) discloses a self-adaptive running platform with an air bag assembly, the air bag assembly is installed on the main support, the air bag assembly includes left and right air bags, and the left and right air bags are in gas communication through a gas guide pipe. By inflating and deflating the air bag assembly, the hardness of the running plate can be adjusted. However, the inflation and deflation path of such air bag can only inflate and deflate different air bags synchronously, and cannot achieve separate inflation and deflation operation. Since the softness and hardness adjustment requires the gas pump to inflate, deflate and close the air bag, if separate inflation and deflation is required, independent electromagnetic valves and air release valves need to be provided, for example, Chinese patent publication (CN111840899A). If one gas pump supplies multiple air bags, a multi-way electromagnetic valve needs to be added between the gas pump and the air bag gas path, so that the integration of the inflation and deflation path is not good.
