INVENTION CONTENTS

[0006] In order to make the signboard installed on the body -building equipment fixed support not affect the sliding adjustment component on the body -building equipment, and at the same time, make the signboard more conspicuous, the utility model provides a kind of body -building equipment height adjusting support frame.

[0007] The utility model provides a kind of body -building equipment height adjusting support frame, adopt following technical scheme:

[0008] A height-adjustable support frame for a fitness machine includes a support frame, a sign, and a protective cover. The support frame includes a plate, a connecting part, a supporting part, and a sign. The connecting part is located on one side of the plate for connecting to a main support frame. The supporting part is fixedly located on the other side of the plate and is situated below the plate to support a barbell rack. The sign is located on the side of the plate where the supporting part is located and is situated above the supporting part. The sign is mounted on the sign. The protective cover includes a housing and a connector. The protective cover is transparent. The housing covers the sign, and the connector is fixedly located on the housing and is used to connect to the sign.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, firstly, the protective cover is opened, and the sign is placed on the marking section of the support frame. Then, the shell of the protective cover is placed over the sign using a connector, fixing both the protective cover and the sign to the connecting part of the support frame. Subsequently, the height of the support frame plate relative to the main support is adjusted, and the plate is then fixedly connected to the main support using the connector. After the plate is fixed to the main support, the support part below the plate supports the barbell. When the barbell's support height needs to be adjusted, the height of the plate relative to the main support is adjusted, and the barbell and main support are fixed using the connector. Thus, by placing the sign on the support frame, the sign can be adjusted in height along with the support frame, without affecting the height adjustment of the support frame, and the sign's position is more easily visible, allowing users to more promptly discover the information on the sign.

[0010] Optionally, the connector includes a first magnet and a second magnet. The first magnet is fixedly disposed on the marking part, and the second magnet is fixedly disposed on the side of the housing near the marking part. The first magnet and the second magnet attract each other.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, after the sign is placed on the sign part, the second magnet on the shell can be attracted to the first magnet on the sign part, so that the shell of the protective cover can be placed on the sign, which makes it easy to fix the protective cover.

[0012] Optionally, the protective cover further includes a fastener for securing the sign, which is installed on the side of the housing near the sign portion.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the sign, the sign is first installed on the fixing component, and then the sign is installed on the sign part together with the fixing component. The fixing component can protect the sign and reduce the damage caused by the sign falling.

[0014] Optionally, the fixing member is further provided with a third magnet, one side of which attracts the first magnet and the other side of which attracts the second magnet.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, after the sign is installed on the fixing component, the third magnet on the fixing component is attracted to the first magnet on the sign part, so that the sign can be installed on the sign part along with the fixing component. Then, the second magnet on the housing is attracted to the third magnet on the fixing component, so that the housing can be placed on top of the sign, which can protect the sign and facilitate the installation of the fixing component.

[0016] Optionally, a limiting structure is provided around the first magnet, the second magnet, and the third magnet, and the limiting structure is used to restrict the first magnet, the second magnet, and the third magnet to be aligned in the horizontal direction.

[0017] Because the attraction and engagement of the first, second, and third magnets only fixes them horizontally, there is a risk of the protective cover and fixing components falling off when subjected to strong vibrations or vertical contact. By adopting the above technical solution, when the first, second, and third magnets are attracted to each other horizontally, they are all inserted into their respective limiting structures. This restricts their positions vertically, allowing them to move only horizontally, thus reducing the probability of the protective cover and fixing components falling off if they become misaligned vertically.

[0018] Optionally, the connecting part includes a pin and a baffle. The pin is located above the plate, and the baffle is located below the plate. The plate and the baffle have a U-shaped cross-section in the horizontal direction.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the support frame plate is first placed horizontally, so that the pin and baffle are horizontally positioned. Next, the pin is inserted into the pin hole of the main bracket. Then, the support frame plate is rotated, causing it to rotate around the pin, and the baffle is rotated closer to the main bracket until its U-shaped structure engages with the outside of the main bracket, completing the installation of the support frame and the main bracket. Thus, through the connection method of the pin and the U-shaped baffle, the support frame can be installed on the main bracket simply by inserting and rotating the U-shaped baffle, making installation quick and convenient. Simultaneously, when the U-shaped baffle is engaged with the outside of the main bracket, it can limit the support frame from the side and rear, reducing the probability of the pin coming out of the pin hole of the main bracket and improving the reliability of the connection.

[0020] Optionally, both the baffle and the support are provided with buffer pads.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, the buffer pad on the baffle can make flexible contact between the baffle and the main support when the baffle is snapped onto the main support, which can reduce the probability of friction or rigid collision between the baffle and the main support, resulting in paint peeling and deformation damage; the buffer pad on the support can reduce the impact between the barbell bar and the support when the barbell bar is placed on the support, thereby reducing the probability of damage caused by rigid collision.

[0022] Optionally, a limiting part is provided at the end of the support portion away from the plate body, and the limiting part protrudes upward.

[0023] Barbell bars are typically cylindrical, and when placed on a support, they tend to roll, posing a risk of falling. The above-described solution places the barbell between the support and the plate, with an upward-protruding limiting part on the support restricting the barbell's rotation and reducing the risk of it falling.

[0024] In summary, this utility model has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0025] By mounting the sign on the support frame, the sign can be adjusted in height along with the support frame. This ensures that the sign does not affect the height adjustment of the support frame, while also making the sign's location easier to spot, allowing users to find the information on the sign more promptly.

[0026] By using multiple sets of magnets and limiting structures to fix the signs and protective covers, it is easier to replace the signs and thus update the warning information in a timely manner. The limiting structure can increase the reliability of the installation of the signs and protective covers and reduce the probability of the signs falling off when they collide with each other.

[0027] The support frame is installed and fixed by a pin and a U-shaped baffle. When the pin is inserted into the main support, it can play a positioning and support role, while the baffle can restrict the pin's back and forth movement, reduce the probability of the pin coming out of the pin hole on the main support, and improve the reliability of the connection.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The following combination Figures 1 to 5 The present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0035] This utility model discloses a height-adjustable support frame for a fitness device. (Refer to...) Figures 1 to 2 A height-adjustable support frame for a fitness device mainly includes a plate 210, a sign 300, and a protective cover 400. The plate 210 is provided with a connecting part 220 for connecting to the main support 100, a sign part 240 for installing the sign 300 and the protective cover 400, and a support part 230 for placing a barbell. During installation, the sign 300 is first installed on the support part 230 of the plate 210, and then the protective cover 400 is installed on the sign part 240 and placed over the sign 300 to protect it. Then, the height of the support frame 200 relative to the main support 100 is adjusted, and the plate 210 is installed on the main support 100 through the connecting part 220 to complete the installation of the support frame 200. When in use, the barbell is placed on the support part 230 of the support frame 200.

[0036] Reference Figure 2The support frame 200 has a plate 210 made of metal plate. The bottom of the plate 210 is bent to one side to form a support part 230. The end of the support part 230 continues upward to form a hook-shaped structure to form a limiting part 231. An identification part 240 is formed on the plate 210 above the support part 230. When installing the identification plate 300 and the protective cover 400, both the identification plate 300 and the protective cover 400 need to be installed in the position of the identification part 240. A connecting part 220 is provided on the other side of the plate 210 where the identification part 240 is provided. The connecting part 220 includes a pin 221 and a baffle 222. The pin 221 is located above the plate 210, and the baffle 222 is located below the plate 210. The baffle 222 is a right-angle bent plate that is integrally machined and supported. One end of the right-angle bent plate is vertically welded to the plate 210, so that the plate 210 and the baffle 222 are U-shaped in the horizontal direction.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 The main support 100 has multiple pin holes along the vertical direction. When installing the support frame 200 onto the main support 100 using the connecting part 220, first align the pins 221 fixed on the plate 210 with the pin holes of the corresponding height, so that the plate 210 is horizontally positioned, and the U-shaped opening of the baffle 222 and the plate 210 is facing downwards. Next, insert the pins 221 into the pin holes of the main support 100. Finally, rotate the plate 210 of the support frame 200 so that the plate 210 of the support frame 200 surrounds the pins 221. Rotate the baffle 222 toward the main support 100 until the U-shaped structure of the baffle 222 is engaged with the outside of the main support 100, and then install the support frame 200 on the main support 100. After installation, the baffle 222 is located below the pin 221 under the action of gravity, and the baffle 222 can restrict the back and forth movement of the plate 210, thereby reducing the probability that the pin 221 will come out of the pin hole of the main support 100 when it moves back and forth, and improving the reliability of the connection between the support frame 200 and the main support 100.

[0038] In order to reduce the rigid contact between the support frame 200 and the main support 100, and to reduce the rigid collision when the barbell is placed on the support frame 200, the end face of the baffle 222 that is in contact with the main support 100 and the upper surface of the support part 230 are both provided with buffer pads 223, which are made of rubber.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The protective cover 400 includes a housing 410, a connector 420, and a fixing member 430. The housing 410 is made of transparent acrylic material. The fixing member 430 consists of two metal frames with the same dimensions as the housing 410. In use, the sign 300 is placed between the two metal frames, and the two metal frames are fixed by snap-fitting to install the sign 300 in the fixing member 430. The connector 420 consists of three sets of magnets, each set containing four magnets. One set of magnets includes four first magnets 421 located at the four corners of the sign part 240, with half of each first magnet 421 embedded inside the plate 210 and the other half protruding from the surface of the plate 210. The other set of magnets includes four third magnets 431 embedded at the four corners of the metal frames of the fixing member 430. The four third magnets 431 are embedded in grooves in the fixing member 430. On the side of the fixing member 430 facing the plate 210, the size of the groove is the same as that of the first magnet 421, and the position of the groove corresponds to the position of the first magnet 421. The third magnet 431 is embedded in the bottom of the groove, and the third magnet 431 protrudes on the side of the fixing member 430 away from the plate 210. When the first magnet 421 and the third magnet 431 are attracted to each other, the first magnet 421 is embedded in the groove of the metal frame, so that the groove on the metal frame forms a limiting structure 440. The last set of magnets includes four second magnets 422 embedded in the four corners of the housing 410. Another groove is provided on the side of the housing 410 near the fixing member 430. The second magnet 422 is embedded in the bottom of the groove of the housing 410. When the second magnet 422 and the third magnet 431 are attracted to each other, the third magnet 431 is embedded in the groove of the housing 410 from the protruding part of the fixing member 430, forming a limiting structure 440.

[0040] In other ways, the connector 420 can also be a screw. When the connector 420 is a screw, the corresponding positions of the first magnet 421, the second magnet 422, and the third magnet 431 are all opened as through holes. The screw can be passed through the corresponding through holes on the housing 410, the fixing member 430, and the plate 210 in one go to install the housing 410 and the fixing member 430 on the plate 210.

[0041] The implementation principle of the height-adjustable support frame for a fitness device according to this utility model embodiment is as follows:

[0042] During installation, first, install the sign 300 on the fixing member 430. Then, place the fixing member 430 on the sign part 240 of the support frame 200 and attract the third magnet 431 to the first magnet 421. Install the fixing member 430 and the sign 300 on the support frame 200. Finally, cover the housing 410 of the protective cover 400 onto the fixing member 430, so that the second magnet 422 on the housing 410 is attracted to the third magnet 431 of the fixing member 430. This completes the installation of the sign 300.

[0043] When installing the support frame 200 on the main support 100, first align the pin 221 fixed on the plate 210 with the pin hole of the corresponding height, and place the plate 210 horizontally with the U-shaped opening of the baffle 222 and the plate 210 facing downwards. Next, insert the pin 221 into the pin hole of the main support 100. Finally, rotate the plate 210 of the support frame 200 so that the plate 210 of the support frame 200 rotates around the pin 221, and the U-shaped structure of the baffle 222 is snapped onto the outside of the main support 100, so that the support frame 200 can be installed on the main support 100.

[0044] In summary, this application, by placing the sign 300 on the support frame 200, allows the sign 300 to adjust its height along with the support frame 200. This not only avoids affecting the height adjustment of the support frame 200 but also makes the position of the sign 300 easier to find. Multiple sets of magnets and a limiting structure 440 are used to fix the sign 300 and the protective cover 400, making it easier to replace the sign 300 and thus promptly update the warning information. The limiting structure 440 increases the reliability of the installation of the sign 300 and the protective cover 400, reducing the probability of the sign 300 falling off upon collision. The support frame 200 is installed and fixed using a pin 221 and a U-shaped baffle. When the pin 221 is inserted into the main support 100, it provides positioning support, facilitating quick assembly and disassembly. The baffle 222 restricts the forward and backward movement of the pin 221, reducing the probability of the pin 221 dislodging from the pin hole on the main support 100 and improving the reliability of the connection.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
