[0046] The fastener 6 is provided with a slot 61 for the other end of the insert 4 to be inserted.

[0047] As described above, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This pedal locking mechanism has a simple structure. Through the ingenious cooperation between the mounting bracket 1, connecting piece 2, connecting rod 3, insert block 4, bracket 5, and fixing piece 6, stable locking and convenient operation of the pedal 8 are achieved. Specifically, the lever 7 on the connecting piece 2 facilitates manual operation by the user. Through the linkage of the connecting rod 3 and the insert block 4, the insert block 4 can be accurately inserted into the slot 61 of the fixing piece 6, thereby achieving reliable locking between the pedal 8 and the main body 9 and preventing unexpected rotation of the pedal 8 during use. Simultaneously, the guide groove 51 on the bracket 5 not only provides precise guidance for the movement of the insert block 4 but also further simplifies the operation process. Users only need a simple lever operation to lock and unlock the pedal 8, greatly improving the user experience. Furthermore, the simplified structure of this locking mechanism not only reduces manufacturing costs but also, due to its ease of operation and high reliability, has good market prospects and can meet users' needs for convenience and safety in fitness equipment in different scenarios.

[0048] Furthermore, the end of the lever 7 away from the connector 2 has a flat operating part 71.

[0049] As can be seen from the above description, the flat operating part 71 has a large contact area, which helps to reduce the pressure felt by the user when operating the operating part 71 and improves the comfort of operation.

[0050] Furthermore, the bottom of the bracket 5 at the end away from the guide groove 51 has an inlet 52, the inlet 52 is connected to the guide groove 51, and the inlet 52 is used for the end of the fixing member 6 having the slot 61 to enter and exit the bracket 5.

[0051] As can be seen from the above description, the bracket 5 and the fixing part 6 can achieve a limiting fit through the inlet and outlet 52, which is conducive to the alignment of the insertion block 4 and the slot 61.

[0052] Furthermore, the slot 61 is provided with a sensor 10 for engaging with the insert 4.

[0053] As described above, sensor 10 can detect whether the insert 4 is inserted to a preset depth, thereby determining whether the pedal locking mechanism is locked in place.

[0054] Furthermore, the sensor 10 is a touch switch or a ranging sensor.

[0055] As can be seen from the above description, the specific type of sensor 10 can be selected as needed.

[0056] Furthermore, it also includes a positioning block 20, which is connected to a guide rod 201. The fixing member 6 is provided with a through hole 62. The end of the guide rod 201 away from the positioning block 20 passes through the through hole 62 and is connected to a limiting nut 30. The end face of the limiting nut 30 contacts the fixing member 6. An elastic member 40 is sleeved on the guide rod 201. The elastic member 40 contacts the fixing member 6 and the positioning block 20 respectively. The slot 61 is formed between the positioning block 20 and the fixing member 6.

[0057] As described above, the slot 61 is composed of multiple parts, which facilitates the manufacturing of the fastener 6. Furthermore, the height of the slot 61 is adjustable, allowing it to effectively adapt to inserts 4 of different thicknesses, thereby reducing the precision requirements of the machining process and helping to control manufacturing costs.

[0058] Furthermore, the elastic element 40 is a spring.

[0059] Furthermore, the connection between the positioning block 20 and the guide rod 201 is located in the central region of the positioning block 20, and the other end of the insert block 4 has a clearance notch 41 for avoiding the elastic member 40.

[0060] As described above, the guide rod 201 divides the slot 61 into two areas, which helps to balance the force on the positioning block 20.

[0061] Furthermore, the perforation 62 is a non-circular hole.

[0062] As can be seen from the above description, the area of ​​the guide rod 201 that cooperates with the perforation 62 is a non-circular segment, which can effectively prevent the positioning block 20 from rotating unexpectedly and help ensure the locking effect.

[0063] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention also adopts the following technical solution: a fitness device, including a pedal 8, a main body 9 and the above-mentioned pedal locking mechanism, wherein the pedal 8 is rotatably connected to the main body 9, the fixing member 6 is connected to the main body 9, and the mounting bracket 1 is connected to the pedal 8; or, the mounting bracket 1 is connected to the main body 9, and the fixing member 6 is connected to the pedal 8.

[0064] As can be seen from the above description, the fitness equipment has at least all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned pedal locking mechanism.

[0065] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3One embodiment of this utility model is a pedal locking mechanism, including a mounting frame 1, a connector 2, a connecting rod 3, a plug 4, a bracket 5, and a fixing member 6.

[0067] To facilitate user operation, the end of the lever 7 away from the connector 2 has a flat operating part 71.

[0068] Optionally, the bottom of the bracket 5 at the end away from the guide groove 51 has an inlet 52, the inlet 52 is connected to the guide groove 51, and the inlet 52 is used for the end of the fixing member 6 having the slot 61 to enter and exit the bracket 5.

[0069] Optionally, the slot 61 is provided with a sensor 10 for engaging with the insert 4. Specifically, the sensor 10 is a tactile switch, a distance sensor, or other type of sensor. The sensor 10 is used to detect whether the insert 4 has reached a preset position in the slot 61. When the insert 4 reaches the preset position in the slot 61, the pedal locking mechanism is in a locked state. It is easy to understand that in fitness equipment, the sensor 10 is electrically connected to the main control board, and the sensor 10 sends signals to the main control board.

[0070] In one or more embodiments, the pedal locking mechanism further includes a positioning block 20, which is connected to a guide rod 201. The fixing member 6 has a through hole 62.

The end face of the limiting nut 30 contacts the fixing member 6. An elastic element 40 is sleeved on the guide rod 201, and the elastic element 40 contacts both the fixing member 6 and the positioning block 20. A slot 61 is formed between the positioning block 20 and the fixing member 6. It is easy to understand that the end of the guide rod 201 away from the positioning block 20 has a threaded section, which is threadedly engaged with the limiting nut 30. In this embodiment, the elastic element 40 is a spring.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, the connection between the positioning block 20 and the guide rod 201 is located in the central region of the positioning block 20, and the other end of the insert 4 has a clearance notch 41 for avoiding the elastic member 40.

[0072] Preferably, the perforation 62 is a non-circular hole. In this case, the positioning block 20 will not rotate around the guide rod 201. The positioning block 20 can be set in a long strip shape, which can reduce the material consumption in the manufacturing of the positioning block 20.

[0073] Of course, in actual products, the slot 61 can also be formed directly on the fixing member 6 by subtractive molding, such as by milling.
