[0055] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.
[0056] First, combine Figures 1-18 The present invention describes a weight-adjustable dumbbell according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used in fitness training and has a wide range of applications.
[0057] like Figures 1-18 As shown, the weight-adjustable dumbbell of this utility model embodiment includes:
[0058] Handle 1, with a fixing plate 11 at each end of handle 1;
[0059] Several dumbbell plates 2 are arranged at both ends of the handle 1, and are sequentially arranged along the fixed plate 11 and movably connected to each other;
[0060] The dumbbell plate 2 is provided with a pair of first sliding grooves 21, which pass through the dumbbell plate 2; the dumbbell plate 2 is provided with a pair of first sliding grooves 21, so that the dumbbell plate 2 can be placed at both ends of the handle 1, and can also be upside down.
[0061] The fixed plate 11 is provided with a pair of second slide grooves 110 corresponding to a pair of first slide grooves 21, and the second slide grooves 110 penetrate the fixed plate 11;
[0062] A pair of adjusting components 3, with both ends of the pair of adjusting components 3 connected to the fixed plate 11 respectively, and corresponding to a pair of first sliding grooves 21 and a pair of second sliding grooves 110 respectively;
[0063] Adjustment component 3 includes a hook rod 31, a housing 32, a drive mechanism, and a limit mechanism;
[0064] A connection hole 320 is provided on the outer side of the housing 32;
[0065] The hanging rod 31 is movably disposed within the housing 32 and can slide within the housing 32. The housing 32 serves to support and protect the dumbbell plate 2.
[0066] The drive mechanism is located in the connection hole 320 and is movably connected to the housing 32 through the connection hole 320. It can drive the hanging rod 31 from the second slide groove 110 into the corresponding first slide groove 21. When the hanging rod 31 enters the first slide groove 21, lifting the handle 1 can lift the corresponding dumbbell plate 2.
[0067] The limiting component is fixedly connected to the housing 32 and cooperates with the drive mechanism for self-locking of the drive mechanism.
[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown in ~5, 16~18, in this embodiment, the drive mechanism includes: rack 33, gear 34, rotating shaft 35, knob 36 and a pair of hooks 30;
[0069] The rack 33 is connected to the connecting rod 31;
[0070] The rotating shaft 35 is detachably and fixedly connected to the housing 32;
[0071] Gear 34 is sleeved on shaft 35 and meshes with rack 33;
[0072] A pair of hooks 30 are fixedly connected to the gears 34 respectively, and the gears 34 and hooks 30 move synchronously.
[0073] The knob 36 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 35. A pair of driving members 361 are provided on the knob 36. The driving members 361 are connected to the hook 30. Rotating the knob 36 can drive the hook 30 to move through the driving members 361. The hook 30 drives the gear 34 to move synchronously. The gear 34 drives the rack 33 and the hanging rod 31 to move in opposite directions, so that the hanging rod 31 enters the dumbbell plates 2 at both ends of the handle 1 respectively.
[0074] Furthermore, such as Figure 16 , 18 As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting component includes: a limiting ring 7, which is fixedly connected to the housing 32. The inner ring of the limiting ring 7 is provided with a plurality of limiting protrusions 71 in sequence along the circumferential direction. The limiting protrusions 71 are arc-shaped and gradually thicken.
[0075] The hook 30 includes: a connecting part 301, an elastic part 302, and a hook-shaped part 303;
[0076] The connecting part 301 is fixedly connected to the gear 34, and the connecting part 301, the elastic part 302 and the hook-shaped part 303 are connected in sequence.
[0077] A snap-fit part 3021 is provided on the outer side of the elastic part 302, which can cooperate with the limiting protrusion 71.
[0078] Furthermore, such as Figure 18 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic part 302 is arc-shaped, and the opening between the elastic part 302 and the hook-shaped part 303 is V-shaped and gradually increases from the connection point. The elastic part 302 is made of elastic material (which belongs to the prior art) and can undergo a certain degree of elastic deformation.
[0079] When the drive component 361 rotates clockwise with the knob 36, it contacts the connecting part 301, causing the connecting part 301 to rotate. After each unit angle of rotation, the locking part 3021 engages with the corresponding limiting protrusion 71, causing the knob 36 to stop rotating. This creates a self-locking mechanism between the locking part 3021 and the limiting protrusion 71, thus achieving a self-locking state for the gear 34 and rack 33, preventing the plates from falling off during exercise. When the drive component 361 rotates counterclockwise with the knob 36, it first moves away from the connecting part 301, then enters the opening between the elastic part 302 and the hook-shaped part 303, gradually contacting the hook-shaped part 303. It then drives the hook-shaped part 303 and the elastic part 302 towards the center of the rotation axis until the locking part 3021 disengages from the limiting protrusion 71. The hook 30 then rotates together with the drive component 361 and the knob 36.
[0080] Furthermore, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, in this embodiment, the hanging rod 31 is provided with a long groove 311, the rack 33 and the gear 34 are arranged in the long groove 311, and the rotating shaft 35 is perpendicular to and passes through the long groove 311. The long groove 311 plays a guiding and limiting role.
[0081] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the housing 32 is provided with a weight marking, which is distributed along the circumference of the knob 36. When the knob 36 is rotated to the corresponding weight marking, the handle 1 can be lifted to move the dumbbell plate 2 of the corresponding weight.
[0082] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-2 As shown in Figure 5, in this embodiment, the top of the hanging rod 31 is provided with a weight mark, and the housing 32 is provided with a mark observation window 321. The mark observation window 321 corresponds to the weight mark. As the hanging rod 321 slides in the housing 32, the corresponding weight mark will appear in the observation window 321, which is convenient for knowing the hanging weight.
[0083] Furthermore, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the housing 32 is uniformly provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 322, and the bottom of the hook rod 31 is provided with an elastic plunger 312. The elastic plunger 312 matches the positioning groove 322. When the elastic plunger 312 enters the positioning groove 322, it will make a clicking sound to indicate that it is in place.
[0084] Furthermore, such as Figures 7-9 As shown, in this embodiment, the upper ends of the dumbbell plates 2 are respectively provided with a first upper hanging protrusion 22 and a first upper hanging groove 23 on both sides; the lower ends of the dumbbell plates 2 are respectively provided with a first lower hanging protrusion 24 and a first lower hanging groove 25 on both sides; the first upper hanging protrusion 22 and the first lower hanging protrusion 24 are located on opposite sides of the dumbbell plates 2.
