DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the protection scope of the present application. In addition, the technical solutions of various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on that the combination of technical solutions can be realized by those skilled in the art, and when the combination of technical solutions appears contradictory or unachievable, it should be considered that the combination of technical solutions does not exist, and is not within the protection scope of the present application.

[0023] In the embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figures 1-5 The folding structure of the treadmill provided by the present application is mainly composed of a stand 1, a connecting plate 11 installed at the top end of one side of the stand 1, a handrail assembly 2 including two handrail blocks 21 and a main shaft 22, one end of each of the two handrail blocks 21 being fixedly arranged at the two ends of the main shaft 22, a first hoop 12 arranged on the connecting plate 11 and used for rotationally connecting with the main shaft 22, at least one limiting column 121 arranged on the first hoop 12, a control panel 3 rotationally arranged on the main shaft 22, a panel support 31 arranged inside the control panel 3, a second hoop 32 arranged on the panel support 31 and used for rotationally connecting with the main shaft 22, and a limiting rod 33 arranged on the panel support 31 and used for cooperating with the limiting column 121 to limit the rotation range of the control panel 3. The handrail assembly 2 and the control panel 3 can enter the normal state and the folding state by rotation.

[0024] Specifically, when it is needed to convert from the normal state to the folding state, only the handrail block 21 at one end needs to be lifted up, and the handrail block 21 at the other end is synchronously rotated, thereby driving the control panel 3 to rotate. During the rotation of the control panel 3, the limiting column 121 or the lug of the first hoop 12 can be used as a limit to prevent the control panel 3 from continuing to rotate and causing difficulty in resetting. When the handrail block 21 completely enters the folding state, only a slight rotation of the control panel 3 is needed.

[0025] Below will continue to elaborate based on the above embodiments for some preferred / improved embodiments, the following embodiments can be selected, or combined with multiple.

[0026] Specifically, in order to prevent the handrail block 21 from being worn and broken due to long-term contact with the top end of the column 1, the lower side of the handrail block 21 is provided with an abutting block 23 which can abut against the top end of the column 1 in a normal state.

[0027] Referring to Figure 5 As shown, one side of the connecting plate 11 is also provided with a fixing block 111, the fixing block 111 is provided with a wave bead screw 112, the main shaft 22 is provided with two limiting holes 221, the wave bead screw 112 passes through the first hoop 12 and can be limitedly matched with the limiting holes 221 in a normal state and a folded state respectively. The first hoop 12 and the second hoop 32 are provided with damping pieces on the inner side connected with the main shaft 22. In this way, the handrail block 21 can be locked with smaller force in a normal state and a folded state, and this locking mode can ensure that the user does not need to exert a large force to complete the switching between the normal state and the folded state.

[0028] As an embodiment, the limiting column 121 is two, and the limiting rod 33 is limited in the range of movement between the two limiting columns 121.

[0029] As an embodiment, the limiting column 121 is one, and the limiting rod 33 is limited in the range of movement between the limiting column 121 and the side lug of the first hoop 12.

[0030] A treadmill, characterized in that it comprises the folding mechanism as described above.

[0031] Referring to Figures 1-2 As shown, the treadmill further comprises a running platform 4, and the column 1 is rotationally arranged on the running platform 4.
