Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment technology, and in particular to a pedal locking mechanism and fitness equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing health awareness, fitness equipment is being used more and more widely in daily life. To meet users' needs in different scenarios, many fitness equipment pieces have adopted a folding design, with the folding and unfolding function of the pedals becoming a common design feature. When the fitness equipment is in storage, the pedals fold to reduce its size, making it easier to store and move; when the fitness equipment is in use, the pedals unfold to provide users with a stable platform for stepping.

[0003] To prevent the pedal from rotating unexpectedly when deployed, existing technologies typically require a pedal locking mechanism to secure it. However, existing pedal locking mechanisms have several drawbacks, primarily in their inconvenience. Users need to spend more time and effort locking and unlocking, thus reducing the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0010] An eccentric operating block is provided, one end of which is connected to an eccentric shaft, which is connected to the lifting ring. The eccentric operating block is located above the guide sleeve and abuts against the second mounting component.

[0011] Furthermore, the lock groove is U-shaped, and the lock groove includes a vertical section and a horizontal section that are connected. The vertical section is used to accommodate a portion of the lock rod, and the horizontal section is used to accommodate the locking block.

[0012] Furthermore, the connection between the locking rod and the locking block is located in the middle of the locking block.

[0013] Furthermore, the locking block is elongated.

[0014] Furthermore, the other end of the eccentric operating block is provided with a flat operating section.

[0015] Furthermore, the end of the eccentric operating block connected to the eccentric shaft has a locking surface and an unlocking surface that are perpendicular to each other. The locking surface and the unlocking surface are transitioned by an arc-shaped surface. The vertical distance between the eccentric shaft and the unlocking surface is less than the vertical distance between the eccentric shaft and the locking surface.

[0016] Furthermore, the eccentric shaft is connected to both sides of the lifting ring, the eccentric operating block has two connecting arms arranged opposite to each other, the lifting ring is located between the two connecting arms, and the eccentric shaft is rotatably connected to the connecting arms.

[0017] Furthermore, the second mounting component is provided with a limiting groove for limiting the eccentric operating block.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The locking and unlocking operations of this pedal locking mechanism can be achieved through an eccentric operating block. The user only needs to rotate the eccentric operating block, and the eccentric shaft connected to it can drive the lifting ring, thereby causing the locking block connected to the locking rod to rotate upward or downward, realizing the contact or separation of the locking block with the top surface of the lock groove. The whole process does not require complicated tools and can be easily operated by the user with one hand, greatly simplifying the operation process and improving the operation efficiency. Since the locking block rotates upward, the contact area between the locking block and the top surface of the lock groove can be made smaller, that is, the volume of the locking block can be set smaller, thereby reducing the manufacturing materials of the locking block.

[0032] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The pedal locking mechanism includes:

[0034] A first mounting component 1 is provided with a locking groove 11, which connects the top surface and the end surface of the first mounting component 1.

[0035] The second mounting component 2 is rotatably connected to the first mounting component 1. The second mounting component 2 is provided with a through hole and a guide sleeve 6. The guide sleeve 6 is provided with a rotating guide groove 61 on its peripheral wall.

[0036] Locking rod 3, the lower part of which is connected to a locking block 31 for extending into the locking groove 11 from the end face of the first mounting member 1, the locking rod 3 passes through the guide sleeve 6 and the through hole, and the locking rod 3 is provided with a guide block 32 that cooperates with the rotating guide groove 61;

[0037] The lifting ring 4 is rotatably sleeved on the locking rod 3 and is located above the guide sleeve 6.

[0038] An eccentric operating block 5 is provided, with one end of which is connected to an eccentric shaft 41. The eccentric shaft 41 is connected to the lifting ring 4. The eccentric operating block 5 is located above the guide sleeve 6 and abuts against the second mounting member 2.

[0039] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the locking and unlocking operations of this pedal locking mechanism can be achieved through the eccentric operating block 5. The user only needs to rotate the eccentric operating block 5, and the eccentric shaft 41 connected to it can drive the lifting ring 4, thereby causing the locking block 31 connected to the locking rod 3 to rotate upward or downward, realizing the contact or separation of the locking block 31 with the inner top surface of the locking groove 11. The whole process does not require complicated tools, and the user can easily operate it with one hand, which greatly simplifies the operation process and improves the operation efficiency. Since the locking block 31 rotates upward, the contact area between the locking block 31 and the inner top surface of the locking groove 11 can be made smaller. That is to say, the volume of the locking block 31 can be set smaller, thereby reducing the manufacturing materials of the locking block 31.

[0040] Furthermore, the locking groove 11 is convex in shape, and the locking groove 11 includes a vertical section 111 and a horizontal section 112 that are connected. The vertical section 111 is used to accommodate a part of the locking rod 3, and the horizontal section 112 is used to accommodate the locking block 31.

[0041] Furthermore, the connection between the locking rod 3 and the locking block 31 is located in the middle of the locking block 31.

[0042] As can be seen from the above description, when the pedal is locked, the locking block 31 is subjected to balanced force.

[0043] Furthermore, the locking block 31 is elongated.

[0044] As can be seen from the above description, the elongated locking block 31 requires less material to manufacture and has a low production cost.

[0045] Furthermore, the other end of the eccentric operating block 5 is provided with a flat operating part 51.

[0046] As described above, when locking the pedal, the user can step on the operating part 51 with their foot without having to bend over or squat. Moreover, the flat operating part 51 has a large contact area, which helps to reduce the pressure felt by the user when operating the operating part 51 and improves the comfort of operation.

[0047] Furthermore, the eccentric operating block 5 has a locking surface 52 and an unlocking surface 53 that are perpendicular to each other at one end connected to the eccentric shaft 41. The locking surface 52 and the unlocking surface 53 are transitioned by an arc-shaped surface 54. The vertical distance between the eccentric shaft 41 and the unlocking surface 53 is less than the vertical distance between the eccentric shaft 41 and the locking surface 52.

[0048] As can be seen from the above description, when the user operates the eccentric operating block 5, the locking surface 52 and the unlocking surface 53 can smoothly transition, which helps to ensure the user's operating comfort.

[0049] Furthermore, the lifting ring 4 is connected to the eccentric shaft 41 on both sides, the eccentric operating block 5 has two connecting arms arranged opposite to each other, the lifting ring 4 is located between the two connecting arms, and the eccentric shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the connecting arms.

[0050] As can be seen from the above description, the eccentric operating block 5 and the lifting ring 4 can achieve a stable connection.

[0051] Furthermore, the second mounting component 2 is provided with a limiting groove 21 for limiting the eccentric operating block 5.

[0052] As can be seen from the above description, the setting of the limiting groove 21 can effectively limit the eccentric operation block 5.

[0053] Fitness equipment, including the aforementioned pedal locking mechanism.

[0054] The first mounting component 1 is the main body, and the second mounting component 2 is the pedal; or, the first mounting component 1 is the pedal, and the second mounting component 2 is the main body.

[0055] As can be seen from the above description, the fitness equipment has at least all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned pedal locking mechanism.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 One embodiment of this utility model is a pedal locking mechanism, comprising a first mounting member 1, a second mounting member 2, a locking rod 3, a lifting ring 4, and an eccentric operating block 5. The first mounting member 1 is provided with a locking groove 11, which connects the top surface and the end surface of the first mounting member 1. The second mounting member 2 is rotatably connected to the first mounting member 1. The second mounting member 2 is provided with a through hole and a guide sleeve 6. The peripheral wall of the guide sleeve 6 is provided with a rotating guide groove 61. The lower part of the locking rod 3 is connected to a locking block 31 for extending from the end surface of the first mounting member 1 into the locking groove 11. The locking rod 3 passes through the guide sleeve 6 and the through hole. The locking rod 3 is provided with a guide block 32 that cooperates with the rotating guide groove 61. With the cooperation of the guide block 32 and the rotating guide groove 61, the locking block 31 can rotate while lifting and lowering. The lifting ring 4 is rotatably sleeved on the locking rod 3 and is located above the guide sleeve 6. One end of the eccentric operating block 5 is connected to an eccentric shaft 41, which is connected to the lifting ring 4. The eccentric operating block 5 is located above the guide sleeve 6 and abuts against the second mounting member 2. The other end of the eccentric operating block 5 is provided with a flat operating part 51.

[0057] Specifically, the locking rod 3 is rotatable about the Z-axis relative to the lifting ring 4, and the eccentric operating block 5 is rotatable about the Y-axis relative to the lifting ring 4.

[0058] In a specific product, the upper part of the locking rod 3 may be provided with a threaded section. In this case, the pedal locking mechanism also includes a limiting nut 33, which is threadedly engaged with the threaded section. The limiting nut 33 can limit the lifting ring 4, preventing the lifting ring 4 from accidentally disengaging from the locking rod 3. More specifically, the upper part of the locking rod 3 is also provided with a stepped portion 34, and the threaded section is located above the stepped portion 34. The stepped portion 34 cooperates with the limiting nut 33 to limit the lifting ring 4. When unlocking, the lifting ring 4 presses against the stepped portion 34, thereby causing the locking rod 3 to drive the locking block 31 to descend. When locking, the lifting ring 4 presses against the limiting nut 33, thereby causing the locking rod 3 to drive the locking block 31 to rise.

[0059] In this embodiment, the locking groove 11 is convex in shape and includes a vertical section 111 and a horizontal section 112 that are connected. The vertical section 111 is used to accommodate a portion of the locking rod 3, and the horizontal section 112 is used to accommodate the locking block 31. Preferably, the connection between the locking rod 3 and the locking block 31 is located in the middle of the locking block 31. The boundary between the horizontal section 112 and the vertical section 111 is the inner top surface of the locking groove 11.

[0060] Optionally, the locking block 31 is elongated. In other embodiments, the locking block 31 may also be in other shapes, such as circular, elliptical, rectangular, triangular, etc.

[0061] In detail, the eccentric operating block 5 has a locking surface 52 and an unlocking surface 53 that are perpendicular to each other at one end connected to the eccentric shaft 41. The locking surface 52 and the unlocking surface 53 are transitioned by an arc-shaped surface 54. The vertical distance between the eccentric shaft 41 and the unlocking surface 53 is less than the vertical distance between the eccentric shaft 41 and the locking surface 52.

[0062] When locked, the user steps on or presses the operating part 51, and the eccentric operating block 5 drives the locking rod 3 to rotate and rise until the locking block 31 abuts against the inner top surface of the locking groove 11. At this time, the locking surface 52 contacts the second mounting member 2, thereby achieving locking. When unlocking, the user pulls the operating part 51 upward, and the eccentric operating block 5 drives the locking rod 3 to rotate and fall. The locking block 31 separates from the inner top surface of the locking groove 11. After that, the second mounting member 2 can rotate relative to the first mounting member 1.

[0063] To balance the force on the lifting ring 4, the eccentric shaft 41 is connected to both sides of the lifting ring 4. The eccentric operating block 5 has two connecting arms that are arranged opposite to each other. The lifting ring 4 is located between the two connecting arms. The eccentric shaft 41 is rotatably connected to the connecting arms.

[0064] In this embodiment, the second mounting component 2 is provided with a limiting groove 21 for limiting the eccentric operating block 5. The limiting groove 21 may be composed of two oppositely arranged protrusions.

[0065] This embodiment also provides a fitness device, which includes the above-mentioned pedal locking mechanism. In this case, the first mounting part 1 is the main body and the second mounting part 2 is the pedal; or, the first mounting part 1 is the pedal and the second mounting part 2 is the main body.

[0066] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
