[0019] Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of a single protective device; wherein, the device consists of: pedal body 1, protective device 2, mounting bracket 3, height adjustment structure 4, first slide groove 401, height adjustment bolt 402, mounting position 5, arc surface 6, base 7, mounting block 8, rotating shaft 9, pedal crank 10, resistance increaser 11, lateral adjustment structure 12, second slide groove 1201, lateral adjustment bolt 1202, shaft 13, and mounting hole 14. Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] refer to Figure 1-5A leg-protecting footboard for exercise bikes or rehabilitation training bikes includes two footboard bodies 1 mounted on the exercise bike or rehabilitation training bike. At least one footboard body 1 is equipped with a protective device 2 and a mounting bracket 3 for mounting the protective device 2. At least two height-adjustable structures 4 are provided between the protective device 2 and the mounting bracket 3. The protective device 2 has at least one mounting position 5 for mounting straps. The protective device 2 can be located on the inner or outer side of the footboard body 1. Preferably, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the protective device 2 is located on the outer side of the footboard body 1.

[0022] The height of the protective gear 2 corresponds to the height of the user's lower leg. Protective gear 2 primarily protects the lower leg; during exercise, the lower leg is closer to the pedal, and fixing the lower leg does not restrict movement while providing protection. It is safer to use and also facilitates exercise.

[0023] Taking an exercise bike as an example, the exercise bike can utilize existing technology. In this embodiment, the exercise bike includes a base 7, a mounting block 8 located on the upper end of the base 7, and two pedal bodies 1 mounted on the same rotating shaft 9. Both ends of the rotating shaft 9 are equipped with pedal cranks 10 connected to the corresponding pedal bodies 1. The two pedal bodies 1 are positioned one in front of the other. The rotating shaft is equipped with a resistance booster 11 that cooperates with the shaft for increasing resistance. The resistance booster 11 can be entirely based on existing technology, providing resistance when pedaling for better leg workout. The mounting block 8 is used to mount the rotating shaft 9 and the resistance booster 11.

[0024] A protective gear 2 is installed on the pedal body 1. The protective gear 2, together with straps, is used to stabilize and protect the legs. During exercise, because the legs are stabilized, the user is less likely to slip and fall, reducing the chance of strains or falls. This provides protection for the user. For patients requiring rehabilitation training, stabilizing the legs reduces the risk of secondary injury, protects the legs, and can lead to better rehabilitation results.

[0025] The protective gear 2 and the mounting bracket 3 are provided with at least one height adjustment structure 4 and / or at least one lateral adjustment structure 12 that can adjust the height.

[0026] The height adjustment structure 4 includes a first longitudinal slide groove 401 on the mounting frame 3, a sliding shaft 13 within the first slide groove 401, and a height adjustment bolt 402 at one end of the shaft 13 for connecting and fixing the protective gear 2. The lateral adjustment structure 12 includes a second lateral slide groove 1201 on the protective gear. The shaft 13 passes through both the first and second slide grooves, and the other end of the shaft 13 is provided with a lateral adjustment bolt 1202 for connecting and fixing the protective gear. When adjusting the protective gear 2 laterally, first loosen the lateral adjustment bolt 1202 to drive the protective gear 2 to slide relative to the shaft 13. At this time, the shaft slides within the second slide groove. Adjust the lateral position of the protective gear 2 according to actual needs. After adjustment, tighten the lateral adjustment bolt 1202 to fix the protective gear 2 on the mounting frame 3.

[0027] When adjusting the height of the protective gear 2, first loosen the height adjusting bolt 402, causing the shaft 13 to slide into the first sliding groove 401. Adjust the height of the protective gear 2 according to the user's needs. After adjustment, tighten the height adjusting bolt 402 to fix the protective gear on the mounting bracket 3. The lateral adjustment structure 12 and the height adjustment structure 4 can be adjusted according to actual conditions, making it more applicable and suitable for users with different leg lengths and heights.

[0028] Preferably, this embodiment includes two height adjustment structures 4 and two lateral adjustment structures 12.

[0029] The protective gear 2 is provided with a curved surface 6 that conforms to the user's leg. The curved surface 6 provides a better fit to the leg, better fixation, and greater comfort during use.

[0030] One mounting position 5 can be provided, located in the middle of the protective gear 2. In this case, only one strap is used, so placing it in the middle provides a better fixing effect. Of course, two mounting positions 5 can also be provided, one at the top and one at the bottom of the protective gear 2. Using two mounting positions to install two straps provides an even better fixing effect.

[0031] Each mounting position 5 is provided with at least one connecting structure 501 between itself and the strap. The connecting structure 501 can be a slot and a buckle (not shown in the figure) located between the protective gear and the strap. The buckle can be located on the protective gear, and the strap can have multiple slots. Different slots and buckles can be used to adjust the tightness of the strap according to the thickness of the person's leg. In this embodiment, the connecting structure includes a mounting hole 14 on the protective gear, through which the strap passes. The strap has a locking block that mates with the mounting hole 14. This structure can utilize existing technology, allowing the strap to be detachably connected to the mounting hole.

[0032] In one embodiment, the connecting structure 501 can be provided, with one end of the strap fixed to one end of the protective gear 2, and the other end of the strap connected to the other end of the protective gear 2 via the connecting structure 501. In use, the mating end of the strap and the mounting hole are disengaged from the mounting hole, the leg is placed on the protective gear, and then the strap is passed through the mounting hole to connect and fix the lower leg.

[0033] In another embodiment, two connecting structures 501 can be provided, located at both ends of the protective gear 2, with each end of the strap corresponding to the end of the protective gear 2. Both the strap and both ends of the protective gear are detachable, allowing the strap to be disassembled as a whole for easy storage.

[0034] Alternatively, both ends of the strap can be fixedly connected to the protective gear, and the user's foot can be inserted between the protective gear and the strap. The strap is elastic and can be used by users with different leg sizes.

[0035] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
