Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of treadmill technology, specifically to a treadmill motor compartment protection device. Background Technology

[0002] Treadmills are commonly used fitness equipment, including a treadmill frame, a running belt with reciprocating transmission mounted on the treadmill frame, and a motor compartment located in front of the running belt. The motor compartment is usually divided into an incline motor area in the middle of the motor compartment for installing the incline motor, a running belt motor area on one side of the motor compartment for installing the running belt motor, and an electrical control area on the other side of the motor compartment for installing the electrical control system that controls the incline motor and running belt motor.

[0003] While existing technologies (such as CN114796989A) provide motor compartment cover structures, they mainly focus on the quick-opening function of the motor compartment cover and do not design a dedicated protective structure for the electrical control area. When the treadmill is in use, dust, sweat and other pollutants will be brought into the motor compartment along with the running belt. If they are adsorbed on electrical components, they can easily cause short circuits and other abnormalities. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a treadmill motor compartment protection device that can prevent contaminants from directly entering the electrical control area while retaining the heat dissipation function.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A treadmill motor compartment protection device includes a protective cover for protecting an electrical control area located on the side of the motor compartment. The protective cover has a top sealing plate, a first side baffle extending downward from the top sealing plate, and a second side baffle extending downward from the top sealing plate. In the protective application state, the top sealing plate covers the electrical control area, the first side baffle surrounds the side of the electrical control area near the running belt, and the second side baffle surrounds the side of the electrical control area near the center of the motor compartment. A heat dissipation opening is provided between the second side baffle and the electrical control area.

[0007] Preferably, the electrical control area is located near the corner of the treadmill frame, and the electrical control area is provided with an electrical mounting base plate; the top sealing plate is fixedly installed on the treadmill frame by ear plates, and the second side baffle is fixedly installed on the electrical mounting base plate by heightening connectors, and the heat dissipation opening is formed between the bottom edge of the second side baffle and the top surface of the electrical mounting base plate.

[0008] Preferably, the heightening connector is located on the side of the second side baffle closer to the first side baffle.

[0009] Preferably, the heightening connector includes a heightening body located in the middle, a connecting bottom plate connected to the bottom end of the heightening body, and a connecting top plate connected to the top end of the heightening body.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the above-mentioned features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings for detailed explanation.

[0027] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a treadmill motor compartment protection device, including a motor compartment bottom cover 104 surrounding the bottom of the motor compartment, a motor compartment top cover (not shown) surrounding the top of the motor compartment, and a protective cover 105 for protecting the electrical control area 103 located on the side of the motor compartment. The motor compartment is divided into three functional areas: an incline motor area 102 located in the middle of the motor compartment for installing the incline motor, a running belt motor area 101 located on one side of the motor compartment for installing the running belt motor, and an electrical control area 103 located on the other side of the motor compartment for installing the electrical control system for controlling the incline motor and running belt motor, etc. The motor compartment is generally located at the front end of the treadmill frame 100 and in front of the running belt 106. The transmission relationship between the running belt motor and the running belt 106, and the transmission relationship between the incline motor and the treadmill frame 100, are existing technologies and will not be described further here.

[0028] The electrical control area 103 is located near the corner of the treadmill frame 100. The electrical control area 103 is provided with an electrical mounting base plate 20 and electrical components mounted on the electrical mounting base plate 20. The electrical components include circuit boards, control chips, cooling fans, etc. The circuit relationships and physical position relationships between the electrical components can be disclosed in the prior art and do not affect the protective effect of the protective cover 105 on the electrical control area 103 in this embodiment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] In this embodiment, the electrical mounting base plate 20 adopts a two-tiered stepped panel integrally formed from a low-tier panel and a high-tier panel. The two sides of the high-tier panel are tightly attached to and fixed to the treadmill frame 100. This high-tier panel is used to avoid other components of the treadmill and to maintain the low-tier panel at the installation height. All electrical components are mounted on the low-tier panel, and the side of the low-tier panel near the center of the motor compartment is locked and fixed to the motor compartment bottom cover 104 by two heightening members. This suspends the electrical mounting base plate 20 above the motor compartment bottom cover 104, preventing water and other foreign objects accumulating inside the motor compartment bottom cover 104 from causing malfunctions in the electrical control area 103. Of course, the motor compartment bottom cover 104 also has necessary ventilation openings. Opening the motor compartment top cover allows for the cleaning of foreign objects inside the motor compartment. The electrical mounting base plate 20 also has through holes.

[0030] In this embodiment, the protective cover 105 is made of metal using sheet metal processing. The protective cover 105 has a top sealing plate 11 covering the electrical control area 103, a first side baffle 12 that surrounds the electrical control area 103 from the side of the top sealing plate 11 near the running belt 106, and a second side baffle 13 that surrounds the electrical control area 103 from the side of the top sealing plate 11 near the middle of the motor compartment.

[0031] The top sealing plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the treadmill frame 100 on the side opposite to the first side baffle 12 via two ear plates 110. The top sealing plate 11 is also fixedly mounted on the treadmill frame 100 on the side opposite to the second side baffle 13 via ear plates 110. The ear plates 110 are secured to the treadmill frame 100 with bolts and nuts. The side of the top sealing plate 11 opposite to the first side baffle 12 is either in contact with the treadmill frame 100 or has a gap of no more than 3 mm. The side of the top sealing plate 11 opposite to the second side baffle 13 is also in contact with the treadmill frame 100 or has a gap of no more than 3 mm. Since these two sides of the top sealing plate 11 are relatively far from the running belt 106 and far from the lower panel, the small gaps do not affect the protective cover 105's protective effect against sweat and dust on the electrical control area 103.

[0032] The second side baffle 13 is fixedly mounted on the electrical mounting base plate 20 via a heightening connector 14. The heightening connector 14 is located on the side of the second side baffle 13 closest to the first side baffle 12. A heat dissipation opening 1051 is formed between the bottom edge of the second side baffle 13 and the top surface of the electrical mounting base plate 20. Preferably, the heat dissipation opening 1051 is rectangular and has a height of 3 cm. The heightening connector 14 includes a heightening body located in the middle, a connecting bottom plate connected to the bottom end of the heightening body, and a connecting top plate connected to the top end of the heightening body. The connecting bottom plate is mounted on the electrical mounting base plate 20 with bolts and nuts, and the connecting top plate is mounted on the second side baffle 13 with bolts and nuts. The bottom edge of the first side baffle 12 is at the same horizontal level as the top surface of the high-end panel.

[0033] A connecting piece 131 protrudes outward from the bottom edge of the second side baffle 13 at the position corresponding to the heightening connector 14. The connecting piece 131 and the heightening connector 14 are detachably connected by fasteners. In addition, a protruding edge 132 protrudes outward from the bottom edge of the second side baffle 13 relative to the electrical control area 103. The connecting piece 131 and the protruding edge 132 are integrated. The protruding edge 132 protrudes towards the center of the motor compartment relative to the same side edge line of the electrical mounting base plate 20. The protruding edge 132 can guide sweat and dust to fall onto the bottom cover 104 of the motor compartment instead of dripping onto the electrical mounting base plate 20.

[0034] A second vertical opening 1052 is left between the side of the second side baffle 13 away from the first side baffle 12 and the treadmill frame 100, and a first vertical opening 1053 is left between the first side baffle 12 and the treadmill frame 100, forming a lateral airflow inlet, which forms convection with the heat dissipation opening 1051 to accelerate heat dissipation.

[0035] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that this invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this invention. Various changes and modifications may be made to this invention without departing from its spirit and scope. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of this invention as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
