[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary equipment technology for fitness equipment, and in particular to an adjustable elliptical machine shock absorption device. Background Technology
[0002] Elliptical trainers are a common and popular tool in gyms for cardiovascular fitness training. The movement patterns on an elliptical trainer are similar to those of cross-country skiing. Although the elliptical trainer was designed relatively recently, its popularity has led to its rapid development.
[0003] Traditional elliptical trainers lack adequate shock absorption during use, failing to effectively buffer the vibrations generated during braking. This results in strong vibrations during braking, which can easily cause injury to the user's joints and other body parts. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable elliptical machine shock absorption device, which can effectively solve the problem of not being able to effectively buffer the vibration generated by the elliptical machine during braking.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] An adjustable elliptical trainer shock absorption device includes a base. A fixing mechanism is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer surface of the base. A bearing mechanism is slidably connected to the upper side inside the fixing mechanism. Mounting frames are symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower side inside the fixing mechanism. Several shock absorption components are fixedly connected to the two mounting frames at intervals. Transmission mechanisms are symmetrically slidably connected to the outside of each of the shock absorption components. Guide mechanisms are rotatably connected to the upper part of each of the transmission mechanisms. Adjustment components are fixedly connected to the side of the two mounting frames that are close to each other. The side of the two adjustment components that are close to each other is fixedly connected to the corresponding transmission mechanisms.
[0007] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a fixing sleeve, and the upper part of the left and right walls of the inner cavity of the fixing sleeve is symmetrically provided with limiting grooves.
[0008] Preferably, the bearing mechanism includes a bearing plate, and guide blocks are symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower left and right ends of the outer surface of the bearing plate, and the two guide blocks are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the corresponding limiting groove.
[0009] Preferably, the shock-absorbing component includes a crossbar, and a strong spring is sleeved on the middle of the outer surface of the crossbar.
[0010] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a transmission sleeve, a support seat is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer surface of the transmission sleeve, and the transmission sleeve is sleeved on the outer surface of the corresponding crossbar. The right end of the outer surface of the transmission sleeve is fixedly connected to the left part of the outer surface of the corresponding strong spring.
[0011] Preferably, the guiding mechanism includes a rotating plate, the upper part of which is rotatably connected to a connecting seat, and the lower part of the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the corresponding support seat.
[0012] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes two hydraulic dampers, the left output ends of the outer surfaces of the two hydraulic dampers are fixedly connected to a connecting plate, and the left end of the outer surface of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the right end of the outer surface of several corresponding transmission sleeves.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This utility model uses a fixing mechanism to load the carrying mechanism, which in turn supports and secures the elliptical machine. Simultaneously, the shock-absorbing components buffer and absorb the vibrations from the elliptical machine, improving the device's practicality. The transmission mechanism transmits the vibrations from the carrying mechanism, and the guiding mechanism guides the movement of the corresponding transmission mechanisms. Furthermore, the adjusting components buffer and absorb the rebound forces from the corresponding shock-absorbing components in several transmission mechanisms, further enhancing the device's practicality and versatility.
[0015] 2. This utility model connects the transmission sleeves located on the left and right sides respectively through two connecting plates, so that the downward pressure on the bearing plate can simultaneously compress several strong springs. In turn, the several strong springs that are compressed at the same time can buffer and absorb the vertical vibration force on the bearing plate. At the same time, by controlling the damping force of several hydraulic dampers, the vibration force of different intensities can be effectively buffered and absorbed. This effectively avoids the phenomenon of multiple rebound vibrations of the elliptical machine installed and fixed on the upper part of the bearing plate due to the rebound force generated by several strong springs, thus improving the practicality and universality of the device.

[0021] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, an adjustable elliptical machine shock absorption device includes a base 1. A fixing mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer surface of the base 1, which can load the bearing mechanism 3. The bearing mechanism 3 is slidably connected to the upper part of the fixing mechanism 2, which can support and fix the elliptical machine. Mounting brackets 4 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower part of the fixing mechanism 2. Several shock absorption components 5 are fixedly connected to the two mounting brackets 4 at intervals, which can buffer and absorb the vibration force of the elliptical machine on the bearing mechanism 3. Transmission mechanisms 6 are symmetrically slidably connected to the outside of the several shock absorption components 5, which can transmit the vibration force on the bearing mechanism 3. Guide mechanisms 7 are rotatably connected to the upper part of the several transmission mechanisms 6, which can guide the movement of the corresponding transmission mechanisms 6. Adjustment components 8 are fixedly connected to the side of the two mounting brackets 4 that are close to each other, which can buffer and absorb the rebound force of the several transmission mechanisms 6 on the corresponding shock absorption components 5. The side of the two adjustment components 8 that are close to each other is fixedly connected to the outside of the several transmission mechanisms 6.
[0023] To achieve the purpose of loading the load-bearing mechanism 3, refer to... Figure 2 The fixing mechanism 2 includes a fixing housing 21. The upper left and right walls of the inner cavity of the fixing housing 21 are symmetrically provided with limiting grooves 22, which can guide and limit the lifting and lowering movement of the corresponding guide block 32.
[0024] To achieve the purpose of supporting and fixing the elliptical machine, refer to... Figure 2The bearing mechanism 3 includes a bearing plate 31. Guide blocks 32 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the lower left and right ends of the outer surface of the bearing plate 31. These guide blocks 32 can guide the lifting and lowering movement of the bearing plate 31. The two guide blocks 32 are slidably connected to the inner cavity of the corresponding limiting groove 22.
[0025] To achieve the purpose of buffering and absorbing the vibration force of the elliptical machine experienced by the bearing mechanism 3, refer to... Figure 2 The shock absorption component 5 includes a crossbar 51, and a strong spring 52 is sleeved in the middle of the outer surface of the crossbar 51, which can buffer and absorb the vertical vibration force suffered by the bearing plate 31 through its own elasticity.
[0026] To achieve the goal of transmitting the vibration force experienced by the bearing mechanism 3, refer to... Figure 3 The transmission mechanism 6 includes a transmission sleeve 61. A support seat 62 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the outer surface of the transmission sleeve 61, which can realize the function of rotating connection with the lower part of the corresponding rotating plate 71. The transmission sleeve 61 is sleeved on the outer surface of the corresponding crossbar 51. The right end of the outer surface of the transmission sleeve 61 is fixedly connected to the left part of the outer surface of the corresponding strong spring 52.
[0027] To guide the movement of the corresponding transmission mechanism 6, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 The guide mechanism 7 includes a rotating plate 71, with a connecting seat 72 rotatably connected to the upper part of the rotating plate 71, and the lower part of the rotating plate 71 rotatably connected to the middle of the inner cavity of the corresponding support seat 62.
[0028] When the bearing plate 31 is subjected to the vibration force of the elliptical machine installed at the top, the downward movement of the bearing plate 31 will push the connecting seat 72 to move downward. At this time, the rotating plate 71 will rotate and push the corresponding transmission sleeve 61 to slide along the crossbar 51, thereby squeezing the strong spring 52 fixedly connected to it. The rebound force generated by the strong spring 52 when squeezed by the two closely spaced transmission sleeves 61 can buffer and absorb the vibration force transmitted by the two transmission sleeves 61.
[0029] To achieve the purpose of buffering and absorbing the rebound force of the corresponding damping components 5 on several transmission mechanisms 6, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 The adjusting component 8 includes two hydraulic dampers 81. The left output ends of the outer surfaces of the two hydraulic dampers 81 are fixedly connected to a connecting plate 82. The left end of the outer surface of the connecting plate 82 is fixedly connected to the right end of the outer surface of several corresponding transmission sleeves 61.
[0030] Under the rebound force of several strong springs 52, several transmission sleeves 61 will be pushed to move outward. At this time, the connecting plate 82, which is fixedly connected to several transmission sleeves 61, can effectively buffer the rebound force it suffers under the braking of the two corresponding hydraulic dampers 81, thus avoiding the phenomenon of several transmission sleeves 61 moving repeatedly along the outer surface of the crossbar 51.
[0031] It should be noted that the hydraulic damper 81 in this utility model is model HD-C. The specific installation method, oil circuit connection method, circuit connection method and control method of the hydraulic damper 81 are all conventional designs, and this utility model will not elaborate on them in detail.
[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When the elliptical machine, which is fixed to the upper end of the support plate 31, vibrates significantly during operation, the resulting vertical vibration force will press the support plate 31 downwards. At this time, several connecting seats 72, which are fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 31, will push the corresponding rotating plates 71 to rotate. This causes the rotating plates 71 to push the corresponding transmission sleeves 61 to slide along the surface of the crossbar 51 towards the center. This allows the two sets of closely spaced transmission sleeves 61 to compress the corresponding strong springs 52, thereby compressing the support plate 31. The carrier plate 31 is buffered and absorbed by the vibration force generated by the elliptical machine. After being compressed, the several strong springs 52 will generate a rebound force under their own rebound force, causing the two corresponding transmission sleeves 61 to spring outward. Then, the rebound force generated by the corresponding transmission sleeves 61 can be transmitted through the two connecting plates 82. At this time, the rebound force transmitted by the connecting plates 82 can be buffered and canceled through the several hydraulic dampers 81 connected to the corresponding connecting plates 82, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the rebound force generated by the several strong springs 52 causes the carrier plate 31 to vibrate up and down again.
[0033] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
