[0040] Example 1
[0041] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The first embodiment of this utility model is: a dumbbell with adjustable weight, which can be either a smart dumbbell or a non-smart dumbbell. The smart dumbbell has a digital display function.
[0042] This adjustable dumbbell includes a main body, which comprises a fixed sleeve 1, a fixed body 2, a rotating sleeve 3, and two sets of telescopic mechanisms 4. The fixed body 2 is fixed to both ends of the fixed sleeve 1. Each fixed body 2 has a through hole connecting its opposite sides. The hollow area of the fixed sleeve 1 communicates with the through hole to form a receiving cavity 5. The rotating sleeve 3 is rotatably mounted on the fixed sleeve 1. Each set of telescopic mechanisms 4 includes a telescopic rod 41, a first pull rope 42, and a second pull rope 43. The telescopic rod 41 is telescopically fitted into the receiving cavity 5, and the two telescopic rods 41 correspond to the receiving cavities at both ends of the fixed sleeve 1. The cavity 5 is provided, and the fixed sleeve 1 is provided with a roller 6. One end of the first pull rope 42 is fixed to the telescopic rod 41, and the fixed part of the first pull rope 42 and the telescopic rod 41 is located near the end of the telescopic rod 41 away from the fixed body 2. The other end of the first pull rope 42 passes around the roller 6 and is fixed to the rotating sleeve 3. The fixed sleeve 1 is provided with a window 11. One end of the second pull rope 43 is fixed to the telescopic rod 41, and the connection point of the second pull rope 43 and the telescopic rod 41 is located away from the fixed part. The other end of the second pull rope 43 passes through the window 11 and is fixed to the rotating sleeve 3.
[0043] The dumbbell, which allows for quick weight adjustment, also includes a weight plate assembly 7, which comprises multiple weight plate blocks 71, each having a through hole through which the telescopic rod 41 passes.
[0044] When the rotating sleeve 3 rotates in one direction, the first pull rope 42 pulls the telescopic rod 41 out of the receiving cavity 5. Depending on the rotation angle of the rotating sleeve 3, the length of the telescopic rod 41 extending is different, resulting in a different number of bell pieces 71 that can be fitted onto the telescopic rod 41. When the rotating sleeve 3 rotates in the opposite direction, the second pull rope 43 pulls the telescopic rod 41 back, reducing the length of the telescopic rod 41 extending, thus reducing the number of bell pieces 71 that can be fitted onto the telescopic rod 41, or even making it impossible to load bell pieces 71.
[0045] To ensure the telescopic rod 41 can maintain relative contact with the rotating sleeve 3 and reduce the chance of accidental rotation of the rotating sleeve 3, the end of the rotating sleeve 3 is provided with multiple positioning holes 31. The side of the fixing body 2 closest to the rotating sleeve 3 is provided with an elastic plunger 21 that mates with the positioning holes 31. When the elastic plunger 21 mates with different positioning holes 31, the number of bell pieces 71 that can be fitted onto the telescopic rod 41 varies. In other embodiments, the elastic plunger 21 may be located at the end of the rotating sleeve 3, and the positioning holes 31 may be located on the fixing body 2.
[0046] To help users clearly know the number of bell pieces 71 that can be fitted onto the telescopic rod 41, the rotating sleeve 3 and / or the fixed sleeve 1 are provided with an indicator 8, which may be a digital gear position, etc.
[0047] To further facilitate the production of dumbbells with quickly adjustable weight, it is preferable that the first pull rope 42 and the second pull rope 43 are integrally formed as a single structure. In this embodiment, the first pull rope 42 and the second pull rope 43 are integrally formed steel ropes, which have the advantage of durability. In other embodiments, the first pull rope 42 and the second pull rope 43 can also be separate structures.
[0048] The fixed sleeve 1 has a narrowed section 12 in the middle. The window 11 connects to the empty area of the narrowed section 12. A rotating ring 9 is installed inside the rotating sleeve 3. The rotating ring 9 is set corresponding to the narrowed section 12. The other end of the first pull rope 42 and the other end of the second pull rope 43 are both fixed on the rotating ring 9. The first pull rope 42 and the second pull rope 43 are indirectly connected to the rotating sleeve 3 through the rotating ring 9, which can facilitate the assembly and production of dumbbells and their subsequent maintenance. Specifically, the rotating ring 9 is composed of two semi-circular ring structural parts 91 spliced together. The rotating ring 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 3 by screws or other fasteners.
[0049] The outer wall of the fixing sleeve 1 has a first groove 13 arranged along its axial direction. One end of the first groove 13 connects to the empty area of the reduced diameter section 12, and a portion of the first pull rope 42 is accommodated in the first groove 13. The outer wall of the telescopic rod 41 has a second groove 411 arranged along its axial direction, and a portion of the first pull rope 42 is accommodated in the second groove 411. The first groove 13 and the second groove 411 can effectively avoid and limit the first pull rope 42.
[0050] Optionally, the end of the fixing sleeve 1 is provided with a mounting port 14, and the other end of the first groove 13 is connected to the mounting port 14, with the roller 6 located at the mounting port 14. The roller 6 can prevent the first pull rope 42 from directly contacting the fixing sleeve 1 and causing wear, thus extending the service life of the first pull rope 42 and the fixing sleeve 1.
[0051] The inner wall of the fixed sleeve 1 has a guide groove 15 arranged along its axis. The telescopic rod 41 is provided with a guide block 412 that cooperates with the guide groove 15. The cooperation between the guide groove 15 and the guide block 412 allows the telescopic rod 41 to extend and retract more smoothly, which helps to ensure the working stability of the dumbbell.
[0052] The fixing body 2 has a first locking structure 101 on the side away from the fixing sleeve 1, and a second locking structure 102 on one side of the dumbbell block 71. The other side of the dumbbell block 71 has a second locking structure 102 that cooperates with the second locking structure 102 on another dumbbell block 71. When the telescopic rod 41 is inserted into the through hole of the dumbbell block 71, due to the cooperation of the first locking structure 101 and the second locking structure 102, the dumbbell block 71 can no longer slide along the axis of the telescopic rod 41, thus preventing the dumbbell block 71 from accidentally falling off and ensuring the safety of dumbbell use. In this embodiment, the first locking structure 101 is a locking groove with a triangular cross-section, and the second locking structure 102 is a locking block with a triangular cross-section.
[0053] It also includes a base 20, which has a placement groove for placing the main body and the bell assembly 7. The placement groove has a limiting protrusion 201 and a positioning groove 202. The fixing body 2 has a limiting groove 22 that cooperates with the limiting protrusion 201. The positioning groove 202 is used to position the bell block 71.
[0054] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
