In addition, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "linked" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] See Figure 1-10As shown, as an embodiment of this utility model, a weight-adjustable fitness equipment is provided. The fitness equipment is specifically a dumbbell, including a grip mechanism and multiple counterweights 13. The counterweights 13 are dumbbell plates, and the multiple dumbbell plates are divided into left and right dumbbell plate groups. Each dumbbell plate group includes multiple dumbbell plates stacked horizontally. The grip mechanism includes a grip bar 1 and an adjustment rod 11 assembly installed at the left and right ends of the grip bar 1. The adjustment rod 11 assembly includes a drive limiting module and an adjustment rod 11 that are driven together. The drive limiting module is used to drive the adjustment rod 11 to move back and forth along the axial direction and realize multi-level adjustment and fixation. The counterweights 13 have through holes 13.1, and the adjustment rods 11 pass through the through holes 13.1 to realize the installation of the counterweights 13 at both ends of the grip mechanism. The drive limiting module includes a fixed base 2 and a drive positioning component 3, a locking component 4, and a transmission rod 5 movably installed within the fixed base 2. The drive positioning component 3 is rotatable and elastically pressable, and the locking component 4 is elastically pressable. The adjusting rod 11 has a toothed portion 11.1 and a gear fixing groove 11.2 on its front and rear sides along the axial direction, respectively. The drive positioning component 3, the transmission rod 5, and the toothed portion 11.1 of the adjusting rod 11 are sequentially driven and engaged. The drive positioning component 3 is movably limited and engaged with the gear fixing groove 11.2. The locking component 4 is used to lock and fix the drive positioning component 3. By rotating the drive positioning component 3, the transmission rod 5 is rotated, which in turn drives the adjusting rod 11 to move back and forth along the axial direction, thereby adjusting the number of dumbbell plates installed at both ends of the grip mechanism, thus achieving weight adjustment. Specifically, by controlling the two adjusting rods 11 to extend in a direction away from each other, the number of dumbbell plates installed on the adjusting rods 11 can be increased, achieving the weight increase process. The two adjusting rods 11 retract by moving closer to each other, thus reducing the number of dumbbell plates mounted on the adjusting rods 11 and achieving weight reduction. Pressing down on the driving positioning component 3 causes it to engage with the gear fixing groove 11.2, allowing for multi-gear adjustment and fixation of the adjusting rod 11. At this time, the locking component 4 locks the driving positioning component 3, preventing the adjusting rod 11 from moving after weight adjustment, ensuring the accuracy of weight adjustment and the safety and reliability of use. When readjustment is required, pressing the locking component 4 backward releases its locking of the driving positioning component 3. The driving positioning component 3 elastically moves upward to reset, releasing its engagement with the gear fixing groove 11.2, allowing the adjusting rod 11 to regain its freedom of movement along the axial direction. Rotating the driving positioning component 3 then moves the adjusting rod 11 back and forth along the axial direction, thereby readjusting the number of dumbbell plates mounted at both ends of the grip mechanism and achieving the purpose of readjustment.

[0033] This invention allows users to adjust the weight by pressing and rotating the drive positioning component 3 and pressing the locking component 4, thereby moving the adjusting rod 11 back and forth along the axial direction. This adjusts the number of dumbbell plates installed at both ends of the grip mechanism, making the weight adjustment process simpler, easier, and more convenient, thus enhancing the user's fitness experience.

[0034] In this embodiment, the drive limiting module further includes a first elastic element 6 and a second elastic element 7, which are specifically springs. The drive positioning element 3 is elastically and movably disposed in the fixed seat 2 in the vertical direction through the first elastic element 6, so that the drive positioning element 3 always has an upward elastic force, thereby providing elastic force for the upward movement and reset of the drive positioning element 3. The locking element 4 is elastically and movably disposed in the fixed seat 2 in the horizontal direction through the second elastic element 7, so that the locking element 4 always has a forward elastic force, thereby providing elastic force for the forward movement and reset of the drive positioning element 3. At the same time, the locking element 4 can lock and fix the drive positioning element 3 in the low position state, thereby ensuring the stability of the limiting cooperation between the drive positioning element 3 and the gear fixing groove 11.2, thereby preventing the adjustment rod 11 from moving after the weight adjustment is completed, ensuring the accuracy of the weight adjustment and the safety and reliability of the use process.

[0035] In this embodiment, multiple gear sensing slots 11.3 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the adjusting rod 11 along its length. An elastic positioning element 12 is provided on the fixed base. Specifically, the elastic positioning element 12 is a spring and ball bearing structure. The elastic positioning element 12 engages with the gear sensing slots 11.3 for movable limiting. That is, when the rotary drive is in the weight adjustment position, the position can be determined by the sound and touch generated by the elastic limiting action of the ball bearing and the gear sensing slots 11.3. Each gear position corresponds to adding or removing one number of dumbbell plates, thereby achieving precise weight adjustment. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the elastic positioning element 12 only engages with the lower gear sensing slot 11.3 of the adjusting rod 11 for movable limiting. The reason for providing gear sensing slots 11.3 on both the upper and lower sides is simply to ensure that the two adjusting rods 11 have the same structure and can be used interchangeably; only the position needs to be adjusted, making it more universal and convenient.

[0036] In this embodiment, the drive positioning component 3 includes a drive shaft 3.2 and knobs 3.1 and positioning pins 3.3 respectively disposed at the upper and lower ends of the drive shaft 3.2. The knobs 3.1 are located outside the top side of the fixed base 2. The positioning pins 3.3 are in a movable limiting cooperation with the gear fixing groove 11.2 to realize the multi-gear adjustment and fixation of the adjusting rod 11. An annular recess 3.4 is formed between the drive shaft 3.2 and the positioning pin 3.3. The locking component 4 includes a button 4.1 and a horizontal locking plate 4.2 connected to the button 4.1. The locking plate 4.2 has a through hole 4.21 for the positioning pin 3.3 to pass through. The locking plate 4.2 is sleeved on the annular recess 3.4 to prevent the positioning pin 3.3 from moving upward, thereby realizing the locking and fixing of the drive positioning component 3.

[0037] In this embodiment, a triangular pointing mark 2.1 is provided on the fixed base 2 corresponding to the rear of the knob 3.1, and a marking dot is provided on the knob 3.1 to facilitate recording the rotation amount and rotation position of the drive positioning component 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, a blocking ring 3.5 is sleeved on the outer side of the end of the drive shaft 3.2 near the annular recess 3.4 to block the locking plate 4.2 and prevent the locking plate 4.2 from going beyond the outer surface of the annular recess 3.4.

[0039] In this embodiment, a first gear 8 is mounted on the drive shaft 3.2, and a second gear 9 and a third gear 10 are mounted on the transmission rod 5. The first gear 8 and the second gear 9 are in transmission engagement, and the third gear 10 is in transmission engagement with the toothed part 11.1. Transmission is carried out through gears, thereby ensuring transmission accuracy and stability.

[0040] In this embodiment, the positioning pin 3.3 includes an inverted frustum 3.31, a cylinder 3.32, and a cone 3.33 arranged vertically and coaxially. The cylinder 3.32 is in a limiting fit with the stop fixing groove 11.2. The inverted frustum 3.31 is designed so that when the positioning pin 3.3 moves downward, it can drive the locking plate 4.2 to gradually move backward, thereby compressing the second spring. This results in a greater elastic force for the locking plate 4.2 to return to its forward position. When the locking plate 4.2 passes the inverted frustum 3.31, the locking pin 3.33 moves downward. The truncated cone 3.31 can move forward more stably and fit onto the annular recess 3.4, and the contact area between the top surface of the truncated cone 3.31 and the locking plate 4.2 is larger, which can better prevent the positioning pin 3.3 from moving upward and thus lock and fix the drive positioning component 3. The structure of the cylinder 3.32 and the cone 3.33 can make the limiting fit between the positioning pin 3.3 and the gear fixing groove 11.2 smoother and more natural, and less prone to jamming.

[0041] In this embodiment, the drive positioning component 3 and the transmission rod 5 are respectively vertically installed in the fixed base 2, and the drive positioning component 3 and the transmission rod 5 are respectively located on both sides above the axis of the adjusting rod 11. This structural layout saves more space and improves the ease of operation.

[0042] In this embodiment, the grip 1 has a hollow structure, and the adjusting rod 11 is movably telescopically arranged inside both ends of the grip 1. A transverse cut hole 1.1 and a longitudinal cut hole 1.2 are respectively opened on both sides of the end of the grip 1. The transverse cut hole 1.1 corresponds to the locking tooth part 11.1, and the third gear 10 passes through the transverse cut hole 1.1 and is in transmission cooperation with the locking tooth part 11.1. The longitudinal cut hole 1.2 corresponds to the gear fixing groove 11.2, and the positioning pin 3.3 passes through the longitudinal cut hole 1.2 and is in limiting cooperation with the gear fixing groove 11.2. At the same time, the longitudinal cut hole 1.2 can also play a left and right limiting role for the positioning pin 3.3, further improving the stability of the limiting cooperation between the longitudinal cut hole 1.2 and the gear fixing groove 11.2.

[0043] In this embodiment, a base 14 is also included. A receiving groove 14.1 is provided on the base 14. The receiving groove 14.1 is used for stacking multiple counterweights 13. A blocking part 14.2 is provided on both sides of the receiving groove 14.1 to block and limit the counterweights 13. A clearance support opening 14.3 is formed at the blocking part 14.2 near the center of the handle 1 for the fixed seat 2 to support and make way.

[0044] Example 2: For the sake of brevity, this example mainly describes the differences from Example 1.

[0045] See Figure 11 As shown, as an embodiment of the present invention, a weight-adjustable fitness equipment is provided, specifically a barbell, and the counterweight 13 is a barbell plate.
