[0028] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3This application provides a fitness toy 100, which includes a first sliding assembly 10, a second sliding assembly 20, and a rope assembly 30. The first sliding assembly 10 includes a first base 11 and a first pulley group 12, with the first pulley group 12 rotatably mounted on the first base 11. The second sliding assembly 20 includes a second base 21 and a second pulley group 22, with the second base 21 connected to and spaced apart from the first base 11, and the second pulley group 22 rotatably mounted on the second base 21. The axis of rotation of the first pulley group 12 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the second pulley group 22. The rope assembly 30 passes between the first base 11 and the second base 21, and is used for two players to hold the two ends respectively. The first pulley group 12 and the second pulley group 22 can roll along the rope assembly 30, causing the first sliding assembly 10 and the second sliding assembly 20 to reciprocate between the two ends of the rope assembly 30. The fitness toy 100 of this application embodiment features a first pulley assembly 12 on a first base 11 and a second pulley assembly 22 on a second base 21. Both the first pulley assembly 12 and the second pulley assembly 22 are tactilely connected to the rope assembly 30. This improves the smoothness of movement between the first base 11, the second base 21, and the rope assembly 30, reduces the probability of jamming, and enhances the gaming experience. Furthermore, the aforementioned structure of the fitness toy 100 makes it heavier than a hollow plastic ball, allowing users to achieve a combination of muscle training and leisure activities.
[0030] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first pulley assembly 12 includes a first roller 121 and a second roller 122, which are respectively disposed at the ends of the first base 11 in a first direction X. Both the first roller 121 and the second roller 122 extend along a second direction Y, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular. A rope assembly 30 is disposed between the first base 11 and the second base 21 along the first direction X. The first roller 121 and the second roller 122 reciprocate along the rope assembly 30. The first roller 121 and the second roller 122, with their elongated cylindrical structure, have a larger rolling surface area, thereby ensuring that the first roller 121 and the second roller 122 maintain rolling contact with the rope assembly 30. When two players hold the two ends of the rope assembly 30 respectively, the rope assembly 30 cannot be in a straight line due to the weight of the first sliding component 10 and the second sliding component 20. Instead, it is in a downward-sloping "V" shape. Therefore, by setting the first roller 121 and the second roller 122 at the two ends of the first base 11 in the first direction X, the first roller 121 and the second roller 122 can roll and contact the rope assembly 30 respectively, avoiding the rope assembly 30 directly rubbing against the first base 11 during the movement, thus preventing wear on the first base 11.
[0031] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The second pulley assembly 22 is rotatably disposed between the first base 11 and the second base 21. The second pulley assembly 22 includes a first wheel 221 and a second wheel 222, which are spaced apart in the second direction Y. The axis of rotation of the first wheel 221 and the axis of rotation of the second wheel 222 both extend in the third direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. The rope assembly 30 is disposed between the first wheel 221 and the second wheel 222. When two players hold the two ends of the rope assembly 30 respectively, and the first base 11 and the second base 21 reciprocate between the two ends of the rope assembly 30, the first wheel 221 and the second wheel 222 roll and abut against the rope assembly 30 respectively, avoiding direct friction between the rope assembly 30 and the two ends of the second base 21 in the second direction Y, thus preventing wear on the second base 21. By setting the pivot of the first pulley block 12 and the pivot of the second pulley block 22 to be perpendicular to each other, the first pulley block 12 can restrict the movement of the first base 11 and the second base 21 in the third direction Z, and the second pulley block 22 can restrict the movement of the first base 11 and the second base 21 in the second direction Y. Therefore, the first base 11 and the second base 21 only reciprocate along the first direction X on the rope assembly 30, thereby improving the stability of the first base 11 and the second base 21 during the movement process.
[0032] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The first wheel 221 has a circumferentially surrounding first groove 2211, which is used to accommodate a portion of the rope assembly 30, and the inner wall surface of the first groove 2211 abuts against the surface of the rope assembly 30. And / or, the second wheel 222 has a circumferentially surrounding second groove 2221, which is also used to accommodate a portion of the rope assembly 30, and the inner wall surface of the second groove 2221 abuts against the surface of the rope assembly 30. By providing a first groove 2211 circumferentially in the first wheel 221 and a second groove 2221 circumferentially in the second wheel 222, both the first groove 2211 and the second groove 2221 are used to accommodate the rope assembly 30, allowing the rope assembly 30 to roll in contact with the first wheel 221 and the second wheel 222 as much as possible, ensuring the movement stability of the first base 11 and the second base 21.
[0033] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rope assembly 30 includes a first pull rope 31 and a second pull rope 32. The first pull rope 31 abuts against the first roller 121, the second roller 122, and the first pulley 221, respectively. The second pull rope 32 abuts against the first roller 121, the second roller 122, and the second pulley 222, respectively. Please refer to the following: Figure 1The ends of the first pull rope 31 and the second pull rope 32 are configured to move towards each other or away from each other in the second direction Y, so as to drive the first base 11 and the second base 21 to reciprocate along the first pull rope 31 and the second pull rope 32. With the above structural configuration, the first player's two hands can respectively hold one end of the first pull rope 31 and one end of the second pull rope 32, and the second player's two hands can respectively hold the other end of the first pull rope 31 and the other end of the second pull rope 32. When the first player spreads their arms, causing one end of the first rope 31 and one end of the second rope 32 to separate in the second direction Y, the distance between the first rope 31 and the second rope 32 increases. Under the action of the first roller 121, the second roller 122, the first wheel 221, and the second wheel 222, the first base 11 and the second base 21 move towards the second player. When the second player spreads their arms and the first player retracts their arms, under the action of the first roller 121, the second roller 122, the first wheel 221, and the second wheel 222, the first base 11 and the second base 21 move towards the first player. By repeating the above actions, both players can achieve the purpose of fitness and entertainment.
[0034] It is understandable that during the above-mentioned movement process, since the first pull rope 31 and the second pull rope 32 have a disjointed movement process in the second direction Y, the structure of setting the first groove 2211 and the second groove 2221 in the circumferential direction of the first wheel 221 and the second wheel 222 can make the first wheel 221 move more smoothly along the first pull rope 31 and the second wheel 222 move more smoothly along the second pull rope 32. The first wheel 221 and the second wheel 222 also have a guiding function.
[0035] In a further embodiment, to extend the service life of the fitness toy 100 and improve the user experience, the first pulley assembly 12 can be rotated to the first base 11 via a rolling bearing, and the second pulley assembly 22 can be rotated to the second base 21 via a rolling bearing. Additionally, the first roller 121, the second roller 122, the first wheel 221, and the second wheel 222 can be made of metal, alloy, composite plastic, or rigid plastic; the first pull rope 31 and the second pull rope 32 can be made of nylon, aramid fiber, etc., which can improve the wear resistance of the first pulley assembly 12, the second pulley assembly 22, and the rope assembly 30.
[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1The first pull rope 31 has a first handle 311 and a second handle 312 at each end, and the second pull rope 32 has a third handle 321 and a fourth handle 322 at each end. The first handle 311 and the third handle 321 are located at one end of the rope assembly 30 for one player to hold, and the second handle 312 and the fourth handle 322 are located at the other end of the rope assembly 30 for another player to hold. By providing handles at the ends of the pull ropes for players to hold, the user experience can be improved.
[0037] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The second base 21 has a first protrusion 211, which is spaced apart from the first roller 121 in the third direction Z. The rope assembly 30 is located between the first roller 121 and the first protrusion 211. Alternatively, the second base 21 has a second protrusion 212, which is spaced apart from the second roller 122 in the third direction Z. The rope assembly 30 is located between the second roller 122 and the second protrusion 212. With this structure, during the movement of the second base 21 relative to the rope assembly 30, the rope assembly 30 preferentially contacts either the first protrusion 211 or the second protrusion 212, thereby preventing the rope assembly 30 from directly contacting the entire second base 21 and causing wear on the second base 21. In addition, the first protrusion 211 and the first roller 121 are spaced apart in the third direction Z, which together can limit the rope assembly 30. Similarly, the second protrusion 212 and the second roller 122 are spaced apart in the third direction Z, which together can limit the rope assembly 30. This can further improve the stability of the movement of the first base 11 and the second base 21.
[0038] As an example, the first protrusion 211 has a first smooth arc surface that contacts the rope assembly 30. Similarly, the second protrusion 212 has a second smooth arc surface that contacts the rope assembly 30, thus reducing wear between the rope assembly 30 and the second base 21. In another example, rollers are provided on the second base 21 to form the first protrusion 211 and the second protrusion 212, respectively. That is, the first protrusion 211 and the second protrusion 212 can rotate relative to the second base 21, which can further reduce friction between the rope assembly 30 and the second base 21.
[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The fitness toy 100 also includes a weight adjustment component 40, which is detachably mounted on the second sliding component 20. The weight adjustment component 40 is configured to have a variable weight to adjust the overall weight of the fitness toy 100. This allows the fitness toy 100 to be suitable for people of different strengths, such as children, teenagers, adults, and the elderly, increasing its adaptability. Players can adjust the weight according to their own strength, thus achieving a balance between fitness and entertainment. It is understood that the weight adjustment component 40 can be detachably connected to the second sliding component 20 through any connection method such as screwing, snap-fitting, or plugging.
[0040] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The second base 21 has a fixing part 213 on the side away from the first base 11. The weight adjustment assembly 40 includes a weight block 41 and a locking member 42. The locking member 42 is connected to the fixing part 213 and the weight block 41 respectively, so that the weight block 41 is fixed to the second base 21. Specifically, the fixing part 213 is a stud, the weight block 41 has a through hole, and the locking member 42 is a nut. The stud is passed through the through hole of the weight block 41, and the nut is screwed to the stud to fix the weight block 41 on the second base 21. There can be multiple weight blocks 41. Multiple weight blocks 41 can have the same weight or different weights. Players can install weight blocks 41 of different weights on the second base 21 or stack multiple weight blocks 41, etc., according to their own situation.
[0041] It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the fixing part 213 may be a stud extending directly from the bottom of the second base 21, or the stud may be fixedly connected to the second base 21 by a process such as welding. For other embodiments, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 5 The fitness toy 100 also includes bolts 214, which pass sequentially through the first base 11, the second pulley assembly 22, and the second base 21, and partially protrude from the bottom of the second base 21 to form a fixing part 213. A locking member 42 connects the weight block 41 to the bolts 214. By connecting the first sliding assembly 10, the second sliding assembly 20, and the weight adjustment assembly 40 together with bolts 214, the number of fixing components required can be reduced, simplifying the structure of the fitness toy 100 and reducing costs.
[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The fitness toy 100 also includes a first buffer 50 and a second buffer 60, which are respectively disposed at both ends of the second base 21 in the first direction X. With this structural arrangement, when the first base 11 and the second base 21 move to the end of the rope assembly 30, the first buffer 50 and the second buffer 60 have a cushioning effect, preventing impact on the user's hand or the handle at the end of the rope assembly 30, or reducing the force of impact to prevent injury to the player. It is understood that the first buffer 50 and the second buffer 60 may include soft, deformable materials such as soft rubber.
[0043] The fitness toy 100 of this application embodiment includes a first sliding assembly 10, a second sliding assembly 20, and a rope assembly 30. The first sliding assembly 10 includes a first base 11 and a first pulley assembly 12, with the first pulley assembly 12 rotatably mounted on the first base 11. The second sliding assembly 20 includes a second base 21 and a second pulley assembly 22, with the second base 21 connected to and spaced apart from the first base 11, and the second pulley assembly 22 rotatably mounted on the second base 21. The axis of rotation of the first pulley assembly 12 is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the second pulley assembly 22. The rope assembly 30 passes between the first base 11 and the second base 21, and is used for two players to hold the two ends respectively. The first pulley assembly 12 and the second pulley assembly 22 can roll along the rope assembly 30, causing the first sliding assembly 10 and the second sliding assembly 20 to reciprocate between the two ends of the rope assembly 30. By setting a first pulley group 12 on the first base 11 and a second pulley group 22 on the second base 21, both the first pulley group 12 and the second pulley group 22 are tumblingly connected to the rope assembly 30. This can improve the smoothness of movement between the first base 11 and the second base 21 and the rope assembly 30, reduce the probability of jamming, and improve the gaming experience.
[0044] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application.
