Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fitness equipment technology, specifically relating to a ski machine with adjustable pedal resistance. Background Technology
[0002] An indoor ski machine is a type of fitness equipment used to simulate skiing indoors for fitness purposes. A ski machine typically includes a base with pedals slidably connected to it. Elastic ropes connect the pedals to the base, keeping the pedals in a consistent position when not under load and generating resistance when under load to simulate skiing.
[0003] In existing ski machines, one end of the elastic rope is directly fixed to the pedal, and the other end is directly fixed to the base, making it impossible to adjust the pedal resistance and meet the different needs of different users. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides a ski machine with adjustable pedal resistance, aiming to solve the problem that the resistance of ski machine pedals cannot be adjusted in the prior art.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A ski machine with adjustable pedal resistance includes a base, on which pedals are slidably connected, and an elastic rope is provided between the pedals and the base.
[0007] One end of the elastic rope is fixed to the pedal, and the other end of the elastic rope is fixed to the base through an adjustment component. The adjustment component adjusts the resistance of the pedal by adjusting the pre-tension length of the elastic rope.
[0008] A further improved solution: The adjustment component includes an adjustment block that snaps onto the base, and the base is provided with a slot for positioning the adjustment block. There are at least two slots, and the pre-tension length of the elastic rope is adjusted by assembling the adjustment block with different slots.
[0009] Based on the above technical solution: the adjustment component, through the engagement of an adjustment block on the base and multiple slots on the base, achieves adjustable pre-tension length of the elastic rope. This means that users can easily adjust the resistance of the pedals according to their needs or preferences. This design greatly improves the flexibility and user-friendliness of the ski machine. Since the resistance can be adjusted according to individual needs, users can enjoy a more personalized fitness experience when using the ski machine. Whether they want to do a light warm-up or engage in high-intensity ski simulation training, users can achieve this by adjusting the adjustment component. This personalized setting helps improve user satisfaction and loyalty. The design of the adjustment component allows the ski machine to adapt to users of different weights, heights, and fitness levels. By simply adjusting the position of the adjustment block, the ski machine can provide suitable resistance settings for different users. This design improves the compatibility and versatility of the ski machine, enabling it to meet the needs of a wider range of users. Because the adjustment component is relatively simple and easy to operate, users do not need to perform complex operations or seek professional help when adjusting the resistance. This design simplifies the maintenance and adjustment process of the ski machine, reducing user operating costs and time costs.
[0010] A further improvement: The base is also equipped with a pulley, and the elastic rope passes around the pulley.
[0011] Based on the above technical solution: As a basic component in mechanical transmission, the pulley's main function is to change the direction of force and transmit it. In a ski machine, the elastic rope, after passing around the pulley, can more smoothly transmit the elastic force to the pedals, while ensuring that the direction of force transmission conforms to the requirements of skiing. This design allows for more effective utilization of the elastic rope's tension, improving the overall performance of the ski machine. The presence of the pulley reduces direct contact between the elastic rope and the base, thereby reducing friction and wear. This is crucial for extending the lifespan of both the elastic rope and the ski machine. Simultaneously, the smooth surface of the pulley also helps reduce noise during operation, enhancing the user experience. As a support point for the elastic rope, the pulley ensures that the rope maintains stable tension and direction during movement. This helps reduce pedal wobbling and instability during movement, improving the ski machine's stability. For users, this means they can focus more on the skiing motion itself without worrying about instability affecting their performance.
[0012] A further improved solution: the pulley is rotatably connected to the base, and the pulley is provided with an annular groove for positioning the elastic rope relative to the pulley.
[0013] Based on the above technical solution: the ring groove design ensures that the elastic rope remains in a fixed position on the pulley, preventing the possibility of the elastic rope slipping or deviating. This stable guiding effect allows the tension of the elastic rope to be transmitted to the pedals more accurately, thereby improving the ski machine's movement accuracy and stability. Because the elastic rope is fixed within the ring groove, its contact area with the pulley is more uniform, reducing the possibility of localized wear. This design extends the service life of the elastic rope and reduces user maintenance costs. The presence of the ring groove allows users to more precisely control the position of the elastic rope when adjusting its pre-tension length. This facilitates personalized resistance settings on the ski machine while ensuring calibration accuracy and performance stability. The pulley's rotating connection to the base and the ring groove's fixation of the elastic rope enhance the overall structural strength and stability of the ski machine. This allows the ski machine to maintain stable movement even under heavy loads, improving the equipment's safety and reliability.
[0014] A further improved solution: The base is provided with a rotating shaft, and the pulley is rotatably connected to the base through the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is fixed to the base, and the pulley is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft.
[0015] Based on the above technical solution: the pivot, serving as the connection point between the pulley and the base, ensures the pulley's stable rotation under the tension of the elastic rope. This stable support allows the pulley to smoothly guide the movement of the elastic rope, preventing a decrease in motion accuracy due to pulley wobbling or instability. The pulley's connection to the base via the pivot allows the elastic rope's tension to be transmitted to the pedals more efficiently. The pivot's rotation reduces friction, allowing the elastic rope's tension to be more smoothly converted into resistance on the pedals, thus improving the ski machine's overall performance. With the pivot fixed to the base and the pulley rotating and connected to the pivot, this compact design reduces the overall size of the ski machine. This is crucial for spaces with limited capacity, such as homes or gyms, as it allows the ski machine to provide a complete skiing experience within a smaller space. As independent components, the pivot and pulley are easier to maintain and replace. When the pulley or pivot wears or malfunctions, the user can easily remove and repair or replace it without disassembling the entire ski machine. This design reduces the user's maintenance and time costs.
[0016] A further improved solution: The base is provided with a sliding groove, the pedal is provided with a connecting block extending into the sliding groove, the elastic rope is fixed to the connecting block, and the elastic rope is fixed to the pedal through the connecting block.
[0017] Based on the above technical solution, the cooperation of the slide and connecting block creates a stable connection between the pedal and the base. This design ensures that the pedal can slide smoothly along the direction of the slide when under force, avoiding wobbling or deviation caused by unstable connection. At the same time, the slide also acts as a guide, making the pedal's movement trajectory more accurate and controllable. The design of the slide and connecting block also enhances the overall structural strength of the ski machine. As the connection point between the pedal and the base, the connecting block bears most of the tensile and compressive forces. The slide provides stable support and guidance, allowing the connecting block to be more firmly fixed to the base. This design improves the ski machine's load-bearing capacity and stability, ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment during long-term use.
[0018] A further improved solution: The end of the elastic rope that is fixed to the connecting block is provided with a fixing part, the diameter of the fixing part is larger than the diameter of the elastic rope, and the connecting block is provided with a fixing groove that cooperates with the fixing part.
[0019] Based on the above technical solution, the diameter of the fixing part is larger than the diameter of the elastic rope. This design allows the fixing part to be more securely engaged in the fixing groove on the connecting block. This tight fit not only improves the stability and reliability of the connection but also ensures that the elastic rope will not detach or loosen from the connecting block under stress. The fitting design of the fixing part and the fixing groove makes the installation and removal of the elastic rope and the connecting block much easier. Users can easily replace or adjust the elastic rope without using complicated tools or performing cumbersome operations. This design improves the maintainability and ease of use of the equipment.
[0020] A further improved solution: The base includes a seat body and a base plate fixed to the lower end of the seat body. The slot is disposed on the base plate and is disposed along the length direction of the base plate. There are two bases, and each base is provided with a pedal. The elastic rope corresponds to each pedal, and the adjustment component corresponds to each pedal.
[0021] Based on the above technical solution, the combination of the seat and base plate forms a stable support structure, providing solid support for the ski machine. The slots on the base plate are arranged along the length, providing stable mounting positions for the adjustment components and ensuring the stability and safety of the ski machine during exercise. Since each pedal corresponds to an elastic cord and an adjustment component, users can independently adjust the resistance of each pedal according to their needs or preferences. This design provides a more personalized fitness experience, meeting the training needs of different users. The design of two bases allows for a more even distribution of the ski machine's load. When the user trains using the ski machine, both pedals are under force simultaneously, and the force is transferred to the bases through the elastic cords, achieving a balanced load distribution. This design improves the ski machine's load-bearing capacity and stability.
[0022] A further improved solution includes a fixing base, with both bases snapped onto the fixing base. The fixing base is provided with a fixing block, and the base is provided with a fixing groove that cooperates with the fixing block. There are two fixing blocks, and each base is provided with the fixing groove. Each pedal is provided with a handle.
[0023] Based on the above technical solution, the snap-fit design of the fixed base and the two bases, as well as the cooperation between the fixing block and the fixing slot, greatly enhances the overall stability of the ski machine. This structure allows the base to be firmly fixed to the fixed base, avoiding shaking or displacement during use, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the ski machine. The snap-fit and fixing slot design makes the assembly and disassembly of the ski machine more convenient. Users can easily complete the assembly and disassembly of the equipment without using complicated tools or performing cumbersome operations. This design improves the maintainability and ease of use of the equipment, while also facilitating its transportation and storage.
[0024] A further improved solution: The ski machine with adjustable pedal resistance includes a skiing mode and an ab workout mode. When the ski machine with adjustable pedal resistance is in the skiing mode, the base is fixed to the fixed seat. When the ski machine with adjustable pedal resistance is in the ab workout mode, the two bases are arranged in parallel, and the two handles located on the pedals are located at the same end of the two bases.
[0025] Based on the above technical solutions, the ski machine can easily switch between skiing and abdominal training modes, greatly enhancing the functionality and flexibility of the equipment. Users can choose the appropriate mode according to their training needs or preferences, thereby improving the utilization rate of the equipment and the training effect. When the ski machine is in skiing mode, the base is fixed to the fixed seat, ensuring the stability of the ski machine during exercise. Users can confidently conduct ski simulation training and enjoy a realistic skiing experience. In abdominal training mode, the two bases are set in parallel, and the two handles on the pedals are located at the same end of the two bases. This design makes it more efficient and comfortable for users to perform abdominal training. Users can exercise their abdominal muscles by holding the handles and pushing the pedals, and can also control the training intensity by adjusting the pedal resistance. The two-mode design of the ski machine also optimizes the space utilization of the equipment. Through reasonable layout and structural design, the ski machine can provide multiple training functions in a small space. This is very important for places with limited space, such as homes or gyms, as it allows users to enjoy a diverse training experience within a limited space.
[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0027] This invention introduces an adjustment component connected to the other end of an elastic cord, allowing for adjustment of the cord's pre-tension length and thus the pedal resistance. This design breaks away from the limitation of fixed pedal resistance in traditional ski machines, enabling personalized resistance settings based on different users' fitness levels, training needs, or preferences. Whether a beginner or an experienced skier, everyone can find a suitable training intensity, thereby improving the equipment's applicability and user experience.
[0028] The pre-tension length adjustment of the elastic rope not only affects the resistance of the pedals but also directly relates to the degree to which the ski machine simulates the real skiing experience. Through fine-tuning, users can experience resistance and dynamics similar to real skiing on the ski machine, thus more effectively improving skiing skills, enhancing physical fitness, and improving cardiovascular function. This design, simulating a realistic experience, helps to stimulate users' training enthusiasm and improve training results.
[0029] Compared to the complex resistance adjustment mechanisms in traditional ski machines, this new ski machine allows for resistance adjustment using simple adjustment components. This design not only reduces manufacturing costs but also simplifies maintenance and upkeep. Users can easily adjust resistance and perform routine maintenance without requiring specialized skills or tools, thus extending the equipment's lifespan.
[0030] Due to the adjustable pedal resistance, this ski machine is suitable for various training scenarios and user groups. Whether for home fitness, gym training, or professional skier training, different training needs can be met by adjusting the pedal resistance. This wide applicability makes the ski machine a multifunctional and efficient fitness equipment.
[0031] By adjusting the pedal resistance, users can avoid discomfort or injury risks caused by excessive or insufficient resistance during training. Appropriate resistance settings help users gradually improve their fitness and skill levels while maintaining comfort. Furthermore, the ski machine's stable structure and user-friendly design further enhance the safety and comfort of user training. Attached Figure Description
