[0035] The utility model will be explained in detail below in combination with specific embodiment. The following embodiments will help the person skilled in the art further understand the utility model, but do not limit the utility model in any form. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled in the art, on the premise of not departing from the utility model concept, can also make a number of changes and improvements. These all belong to the protection scope of the utility model.

[0036] This utility model discloses an irregularly shaped foot pedal platform and a treadmill running platform. The irregularly shaped foot pedal platform serves as a foot pedal platform that connects to an external platform, such as a treadmill running platform, and is used to provide transitional support when the user leaves the external platform. By setting the top surface of the profile as a foot pedal plane that is inclined towards the external platform, it can better conform to the structure of the human leg. When the user stands with legs apart, the inclined foot pedal plane can fit against the inclined sole plane of the foot, providing stable support for the user.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] This embodiment provides an irregularly shaped footrest platform, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes an irregularly shaped profile 2, which is installed on the side of an external platform. An angle exists between the upper and lower sides of the irregularly shaped profile 2. The top surface of the upper side of the irregularly shaped profile 2 is a footrest 21, and the normal vector of the footrest 21 points to the normal to the upper surface of the external platform. When the user stands with legs apart, the plane of the foot is at an angle to the horizontal. This application, by setting the footrest 21 as a plane whose normal intersects the normal to the upper surface of the external platform, better conforms to the structure of the human leg, fits the angled plane of the foot, and provides stable support for the user.

[0039] Specifically, to further increase the stability of the support, an anti-slip structure 22 is provided on the footrest 21 along the length of the profile 2. The anti-slip structure 22 includes multiple anti-slip grooves, which are arranged side by side along the width of the profile 2 and also along the direction extending from the outer platform to the footrest 21. The anti-slip grooves cooperate with the inclined footrest so that when the user stands with legs apart, the sole of the foot can fit in contact with the anti-slip groove as a whole, maximizing the anti-slip performance and thus improving the stability of the support.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, in order to achieve the deformation resistance of the foot platform, multiple reinforcing ribs 23 are provided inside the irregular profile 2 along the length direction. The reinforcing ribs 23 are installed vertically in the irregular profile 2, and the upper and lower ends of the reinforcing ribs 23 are respectively connected to the bottom surface of the upper side of the irregular profile 2 and the top surface of the lower side of the irregular profile 2. Through multiple reinforcing ribs arranged vertically inside the irregular profile 2, the strength and rigidity of the profile can be effectively improved, and deformation can be avoided.

[0041] In a preferred example, such as Figure 2As shown, the lower side of the irregular profile 2 is provided with an assembly groove 24, and it is fixedly assembled to the external support frame through the assembly groove 24. The assembly groove 24 is fixed to the external support frame by bolts 4 and baffles 3; the groove opening of the assembly groove 24 overlaps with the top surface of the external support frame, the baffles 3 are snapped into the inside of the assembly groove 24, and the bolts 3 pass through the external support frame and the groove opening of the assembly groove 24 in sequence, and are threadedly connected to the baffles 3, thereby achieving a stable assembly.

The treadmill body 1 includes a running belt 11 and a frame 12, and both the running belt 11 and the irregularly shaped profile 2 are mounted on the frame 12. Figure 3 As shown, there are two irregularly shaped profiles 2, which are symmetrically installed on both sides of the running belt 11, and the normal vector of the foot pedal part 21 of the irregularly shaped profile 2 points to the normal line of the upper surface of the running belt 11. When the user temporarily leaves the running platform to operate the equipment, he stands with his legs apart on the irregularly shaped profiles 2 on both sides, ensuring that the angled sole plane of his foot can stably fit against the foot pedal part 21.

[0044] In a preferred example, such as Figure 4 As shown, the profile 2 is fixedly installed on the assembly frame 13 on the top of the frame 12; the groove of the assembly slot 24 at the bottom of the profile 2 overlaps with the top surface of the assembly frame 13, the baffle 3 is snapped into the inside of the assembly slot 24, and the bolt 3 passes through the upper side of the assembly frame 13 and the groove of the assembly slot 24 in sequence, and is threadedly connected to the baffle 3.
