[0002] With increasing health awareness, fitness equipment is being used more and more widely in daily life. To meet users' needs in different scenarios, many fitness equipment pieces have adopted a folding design, with the folding and unfolding function of the pedals becoming a common design feature. When the fitness equipment is in storage, the pedals fold to reduce its size, making it easier to store and move; when the fitness equipment is in use, the pedals unfold to provide users with a stable platform for stepping.

[0003] To prevent the pedals from rotating unexpectedly when deployed, existing technologies typically employ a pedal locking mechanism to secure them. However, existing pedal locking mechanisms present several problems, primarily in their complex structure and inconvenient operation. For instance, some locking mechanisms require the cooperation of multiple components to achieve the locking function, which not only increases manufacturing costs but also enhances the overall size and weight of the mechanism, impacting the portability of the fitness equipment. Furthermore, the complex structure leads to cumbersome operation steps, requiring users to spend more time and effort locking and unlocking, thus reducing the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0030] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The pedal locking mechanism includes:

[0032] A first mounting component 1 is provided with a locking groove 11, which connects the top surface and the end surface of the first mounting component 1.

[0033] The second mounting component 2 is rotatably connected to the first mounting component 1;

[0034] Locking disc 3, which is fixed on the second mounting member 2, has a through hole 31, and a locking slope 32 is provided on the top surface of the locking disc 3, which is arranged around the through hole 31;

[0035] The locking rod 4 has a locking block 5 connected to its lower part for extending into the locking groove 11 from the end face of the first mounting member 1. The locking rod 4 passes through the through hole 31. The upper part of the locking rod 4 is provided with a lever 6, which is located above the locking disc 3 and abuts against the locking slope 32.

[0036] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The pedal locking mechanism is composed of a first mounting part 1, a second mounting part 2, a locking disc 3, and a locking rod 4, etc. The overall structure design is simple and clear, without complex mechanical parts and cumbersome connection methods, which makes the entire mechanism simple and helps to reduce production costs; During the pedal folding process, the locking block 5 can automatically disengage from the end face of the first mounting part 1 and the locking block 5 can automatically extend into the locking groove 11 from the end face of the first mounting part 1 during the pedal unfolding process. Therefore, when locking and unlocking the pedal locking mechanism, the user only needs to turn the lever 6, which is very convenient and enhances the user experience.

[0037] Furthermore, the second mounting component 2 is provided with a through opening, the through hole 31 communicates with the through opening, and the locking rod 4 passes through the through opening.

[0038] As can be seen from the above description, the design of the through-hole simplifies the connection structure between the locking disc 3 and the second mounting component 2. At the same time, it can further distribute the force on the locking disc 3, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the pedal locking mechanism.

[0039] Furthermore, the locking groove 11 is convex in shape, and the locking groove 11 includes a vertical section 111 and a horizontal section 112 that are connected. The vertical section 111 is used to accommodate a part of the locking rod 4, and the horizontal section 112 is used to accommodate the locking block 5.

[0040] Furthermore, the connection between the locking rod 4 and the locking block 5 is located in the middle of the locking block 5.

[0041] As can be seen from the above description, when the pedal is locked, the locking block 5 is subjected to balanced force.

[0042] Furthermore, there are two locking slopes 32, and the lever 6 simultaneously abuts against both locking slopes 32.

[0043] As can be seen from the above description, the lever 6 is subjected to balanced force near the locking lever 4, which helps to ensure the working stability of the locking lever 4.

[0044] Furthermore, the lever 6 has a contact arc surface for contacting the locking slope 32.

[0045] As can be seen from the above description, the design of the contact arc surface allows the lever 6 to slide more smoothly relative to the locking plate 3, preventing the lever 6 from getting stuck between the locking plate 3.

[0046] Furthermore, the upper part of the locking rod 4 has a non-circular mounting part 41, the lever 6 has a mounting hole 61 that mates with the mounting part 41, the mounting part 41 is provided with a threaded section, and also includes a mounting nut that is threadedly engaged with the threaded section, the bottom end of the mounting nut abutting against the lever 6.

[0047] As can be seen from the above description, the connection between the locking lever 4 and the lever 6 is simple, reliable, and easy to install. In addition, the distance between the locking block 5 and the lever 6 is adjustable, which can compensate for the wear and tear of the pedal locking mechanism after long-term use and help extend the service life of the pedal locking mechanism.

[0048] Furthermore, the mounting hole 61 is an oblong hole.

[0049] Fitness equipment, including the aforementioned pedal locking mechanism.

[0050] As can be seen from the above description, the fitness equipment has at least all the beneficial effects of the aforementioned pedal locking mechanism.

[0051] Furthermore, the first mounting component 1 is the main body, and the second mounting component 2 is the pedal; or, the first mounting component 1 is the pedal, and the second mounting component 2 is the main body.

[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 One embodiment of this utility model is a pedal locking mechanism, including a first mounting member 1, a second mounting member 2, a locking disc 3, and a locking rod 4. The first mounting member 1 has a locking groove 11, which connects the top surface and the end surface of the first mounting member 1. The second mounting member 2 is rotatably connected to the first mounting member 1. The locking disc 3 is fixedly mounted on the second mounting member 2, and the locking disc 3 has a through hole 31. The top surface of the locking disc 3 has a locking slope 32, which is arranged around the through hole 31. The lower part of the locking rod 4 is connected to a locking block 5 for extending from the end surface of the first mounting member 1 into the locking groove 11. Specifically, the locking block 5 can extend from the end surface of the first mounting member 1 into the locking groove 11. The locking rod 4 passes through the through hole 31 and enters and exits the locking groove 11 through the connecting part of the locking groove 11. The upper part of the locking rod 4 is provided with a lever 6, which is located above the locking disc 3. The lever 6 abuts against the locking slope 32. When the lever 6 slides from the lower end to the upper end along the locking slope 32, the locking block 5 rotates and rises until it abuts against the inner top surface of the locking groove 11, so as to lock the first mounting member 1 and the second mounting member 2. When unlocking, when the lever 6 slides from the upper end to the lower end along the locking slope 32, the locking block 5 rotates and rises. The locking block 5 no longer abuts against the inner top surface of the locking groove 11. At this time, the first mounting member 1 and the second mounting bracket can rotate relative to each other to achieve folding.

[0053] Optionally, the second mounting member 2 is provided with a through hole, the through hole 31 communicates with the through hole, and the locking rod 4 passes through the through hole. In order to allow the locking disc 3 to be subjected to force more evenly, the through hole adopts a through hole structure. In other embodiments, the through hole can also be a notch structure.

[0054] In this embodiment, the locking groove 11 is convex in shape and includes a vertical section 111 and a horizontal section 112 that are connected. The vertical section 111 is used to accommodate a portion of the locking rod 4, and the horizontal section 112 is used to accommodate the locking block 5. Preferably, the connection between the locking rod 4 and the locking block 5 is located in the middle of the locking block 5. The boundary between the horizontal section 112 and the vertical section 111 is the inner top surface of the locking groove 11.

[0055] In this embodiment, the locking block 5 is elongated. In other embodiments, the locking block 5 may be in other shapes, such as circular, elliptical, rectangular, or triangular.

[0056] The number of locking ramps 32 is two, and the lever 6 simultaneously abuts against both locking ramps 32. In this embodiment, the bottom and top ends of the locking ramps 32 are spaced 90° apart around the central axis of the through hole 31.

[0057] To ensure the smooth sliding of the lever 6 on the locking slope 32, the lever 6 has a contact arc surface for contacting the locking slope 32, that is, the lever 6 contacts the locking slope 32 through the contact arc surface.

[0058] To facilitate the installation and fine-tuning of the lever 6, in this embodiment, the upper part of the locking lever 4 has a non-circular mounting portion 41, and the lever 6 has a mounting hole 61 that mates with the mounting portion 41. The mounting hole 61 is an oblong hole, and the mounting portion 41 has a threaded section. The pedal locking mechanism also includes a mounting nut that is threadedly engaged with the threaded section, and the bottom end of the mounting nut abuts against the lever 6. In one or more embodiments, the lever 6 and the locking lever 4 can also be fixedly connected by welding or other methods.

[0059] This embodiment also provides a fitness device, which includes the above-mentioned pedal locking mechanism. In this case, the first mounting part 1 is the main body and the second mounting part 2 is the pedal; or, the first mounting part 1 is the pedal and the second mounting part 2 is the main body.
