Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fitness equipment technology, specifically relating to a ski machine. Background Technology

[0002] In order to adapt to the needs of modern work and life, people are paying more and more attention to exercising in various ways. One common way for urban dwellers to exercise is to use various fitness equipment.

[0003] Existing fitness equipment, such as dumbbells, treadmills, and barbells, is often only for physical exercise and generally lacks the ability to arouse the exerciser's interest; that is, exercisers often cannot maintain their workout and thus fail to achieve the best training results. Furthermore, especially in the south, where weather conditions make it impossible to create ski resorts, people living in the south often cannot enjoy skiing. In addition, skiing is a highly technical activity, and some training is usually required before actual skiing to reduce the risk of injury. Currently, there is no ski machine that can also provide training benefits and be used indoors. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a ski machine designed to address the problem that there is no existing ski machine that can serve both training and indoor use.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A ski machine includes a base, an arc-shaped guide rail on the base, and a pedal on the base, the pedal being slidably connected to the arc-shaped guide rail;

[0007] An elastic connector is provided between the pedal and the base so that the pedal is in the middle position of the arc-shaped guide rail when no force is applied;

[0008] The base is also provided with two handrails, and the pedal is located between the two handrails.

[0009] A further improved solution: There are two sets of elastic connectors, and the two sets of elastic connectors are located on both sides of the pedal.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the design of two sets of elastic connectors located on both sides of the pedal allows for more balanced support when the pedal is under force. This dual-sided support structure helps reduce pedal wobbling during sliding, thereby improving overall stability. When the pedal is displaced by external force, both sets of elastic connectors work simultaneously to pull the pedal back to the center position of the curved guide rail. This dual-sided simultaneous reset design, compared to single-sided reset, allows the pedal to return to its initial state more quickly, providing a smoother user experience. The dual-sided elastic connector design also distributes the pressure on the pedal under force, reducing the wear of individual connectors and thus improving the overall durability of the device. Simultaneously, stable pedal support also contributes to improved user safety during use.

[0011] A further improved solution: one end of the elastic connector is fixed to the pedal, and the other end of the elastic connector is fixed to the base.

[0012] Based on the above technical solution, fixing both ends of the elastic connector to the pedal and the base respectively makes the installation process more intuitive and simple. The elastic connector can be installed without complex connection structures or adjustment steps. As the connecting component between the pedal and the base, the elastic connector not only performs a reset function but also provides structural support. This support helps reduce pedal wobbling during sliding, improving the overall structural stability. Stable structural support ensures user safety when using the ski machine, preventing accidents caused by wobbling or instability. During long-term use, the elastic connector may need to be replaced due to wear or aging. Fixing both ends of the elastic connector facilitates disassembly and replacement, reducing maintenance costs and time.

[0013] A further improved solution: the elastic connector is a spring; or, the elastic connector is an elastic rope.

[0014] Based on the above technical solutions: Springs have a defined elastic coefficient and restoring force, enabling them to quickly and stably pull the pedal back to its initial position after being subjected to force. The restoring force of the spring is constant and unaffected by external factors, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the ski machine. Springs are typically made of high-quality materials, such as spring steel, capable of withstanding long-term repeated stretching and compression without easily being damaged. Under normal use, springs generally have a long lifespan, reducing the maintenance costs of the ski machine. Elastic ropes have a large elongation range and elasticity, adapting to the displacement of the pedals at different angles and forces. The flexibility of elastic ropes makes the ski machine more flexible in design and installation, adapting to various complex scenarios and needs. Compared to springs, elastic ropes are generally less expensive to produce, helping to reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the ski machine. The replacement and maintenance of elastic ropes are also relatively simple, reducing the maintenance costs of the ski machine.

[0015] A further improved solution: There are two arc-shaped guide rails, which are arranged in parallel. The pedal is provided with roller sets that contact the arc-shaped guide rails. There are two sets of roller sets, and each set of rollers corresponds to one of the arc-shaped guide rails.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution: two parallel arc-shaped guide rails provide a stable support surface for the pedals, reducing pedal wobbling and offset during sliding, thereby improving the overall stability of the ski machine. Each set of rollers is in close contact with the corresponding arc-shaped guide rail, ensuring smooth sliding of the pedals on the guide rail. The rolling friction of the rollers reduces motion resistance, making the ski machine's movement smoother. The parallel arrangement of the two arc-shaped guide rails can more effectively distribute the pressure of the pedals and user weight on the guide rails, avoiding wear or damage to the guide rails caused by excessive force at a single point. The rollers are usually made of wear-resistant materials, capable of withstanding long-term rolling friction without easily being damaged. This design extends the service life of the ski machine and reduces maintenance costs.

[0017] A further improvement: Each of the roller groups is provided with three wheels, which are rotatably connected to the pedal.

[0018] Based on the above technical solution: each roller assembly contains three wheels, forming a three-point support structure. This structure is mechanically more stable and can more effectively resist external interference, thus maintaining the skier's stable gliding. When the user performs skiing actions, the three wheels can distribute pressure more evenly, reducing wobbling or deviation caused by excessive force at a single point. This helps the user maintain balance and improves the user experience. The three wheels share the weight of the pedals and the user, which can more effectively distribute pressure and reduce the pressure on each wheel. This helps extend the wheel's lifespan and reduces the risk of wear and damage.

[0019] A further improved solution: the handrail is inserted into the base, the base is provided with a socket for installing the handrail, and the socket is provided with a hole that mates with the handrail; or, the bottom of the handrail is connected to the base by a ball joint.

[0020] Based on the above technical solutions: Plug-in handrails achieve quick and easy installation and removal through the cooperation of sockets and holes. This design allows users to easily install the handrail onto the base as needed, or remove it when not in use. When the handrail is correctly inserted into the socket and locked in place, the cooperation between the socket and the handrail ensures a secure and reliable connection. This connection method effectively prevents the handrail from loosening or falling off during use, thus ensuring user safety. The plug-in handrail design facilitates maintenance and upgrades. When the handrail or socket becomes worn or damaged, users can easily remove it and replace it with a new part without disassembling the entire ski machine. Ball-joint handrails are connected to the base via ball hinges, allowing the handrail to be freely adjusted within a certain range. This design allows users to flexibly adjust the angle of the handrail according to personal preferences and skiing posture needs for a more comfortable user experience. The ball-joint design not only provides flexibility but also enhances the stability and adaptability of the handrail.

[0021] A further improved solution: The arc-shaped guide rail includes a first segment and a second segment, both of which are rotatably connected to the base. The arc-shaped guide rail has a folded state and an unfolded state. By rotating the first segment and the second segment, the arc-shaped guide rail is in the folded state. By rotating the first segment and the second segment in the opposite direction, the arc-shaped guide rail is in the unfolded state. Furthermore, the contact surface between the first segment and the second segment positions the arc-shaped guide rail in the unfolded state.

[0022] Based on the above technical solution, when the curved guide rail is folded, its space occupation is greatly reduced, making it easier to store in limited spaces. This is especially important for home users or training institutions, as it saves valuable storage space. The folding design makes the ski machine more compact during transportation, reducing transportation difficulty and costs. Whether transported by vehicle or air, it is more convenient. Users can easily convert the curved guide rail from a folded state to an unfolded state by simply rotating the first and second sections. This design greatly shortens the deployment time of the ski machine and improves its efficiency.

[0023] A further improved solution: The base includes a middle seat, a first end seat, and a second end seat. The middle seat is located between the first end seat and the second end seat. The handrails are respectively installed on the first end seat and the second end seat. The first end seat is rotatably connected to the middle seat through a first segment, and the second end seat is rotatably connected to the middle seat through a second segment.

[0024] Based on the above technical solution: the intermediate seat is located between the first and second end seats, forming a stable three-point support structure. This design enhances the overall stability of the ski machine, maintaining stability even during high-speed gliding or intense movements. The first end seat is rotatably connected to the intermediate seat via a first section, and the second end seat is rotatably connected to the intermediate seat via a second section. This rotatable connection method not only allows for the folding and unfolding of the curved guide rail but also ensures the stability of the connection through precise mechanical design, preventing loosening or detachment. The segmented base design makes the ski machine easier to carry and transport, allowing for easy deployment and adjustment in both indoor and outdoor venues.

[0025] A further improved solution: Both the first segment and the second segment are rotatably connected to the intermediate seat via a rotating shaft.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution, the swivel connection ensures the stability of the first and second sections during rotation, preventing shaking or detachment due to unstable connections. This design allows the ski machine to maintain overall stability and reliability during high-speed gliding or intense movements. Through the swivel connection, the first and second sections can be easily folded and unfolded, allowing the ski machine to adapt to different users' skiing skills and training needs. The swivel connection design also simplifies the disassembly and assembly process. Users can easily separate the various parts for cleaning, inspection, or replacement of worn components. Because the parts are connected by the swivel, users can repair or replace specific problems without extensive disassembly of the entire ski machine. This significantly reduces maintenance costs and time.

[0027] A further improved solution: The arc-shaped guide rail includes a wooden base frame and a guide rail body mounted on the wooden base frame.

[0028] Based on the above technical solution: the arc-shaped guide rail includes a wooden base frame and a guide rail body set on the wooden base frame. This design not only simplifies the structure of the arc-shaped guide rail and reduces manufacturing costs, but also effectively reduces the noise generated during use and improves the overall training experience.

[0029] A further improved solution: The wooden base frame includes two wooden boards, and the guide rail body is located between the two wooden boards.

[0030] Based on the above technical solution, the use of wooden boards not only offers economic advantages but also plays a crucial role in noise control. Compared to traditional metal or plastic guide rails, wooden boards have better sound absorption properties, effectively reducing noise generated by friction during use.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0032] This invention, through the design of an arc-shaped guide rail and slidingly connected pedals, allows the ski machine to simulate real skiing movements and experiences. When gliding on the pedals, users can feel similar biomechanical feedback and muscle workout as in real skiing, effectively improving their skiing skills. The ski machine has a compact structure and small footprint, making it ideal for indoor use. It can easily accommodate and provide a high-quality ski training environment in homes, gyms, or training centers.

[0033] The base is designed to be sturdy and can withstand various impacts during use, ensuring user safety. Meanwhile, the handrails help users maintain balance while gliding, reducing the risk of falls. The elastic connector between the pedals and the base allows the pedals to quickly return to their original position after being subjected to force, ensuring the stability of the ski machine and user comfort. In addition to being a professional ski training device, this ski machine can also be used as fitness equipment. Users can exercise their entire body and improve their cardiovascular function while skiing. Attached Figure Description

The pedal 3 is equipped with two sets of rollers 6 that contact the arc-shaped guide rails 2, each corresponding to one of the arc-shaped guide rails 2. Each roller set 6 has three wheels, which are rotatably connected to the pedal 3. The arc-shaped guide rails 2 may have arc-shaped protrusions, and the wheels may have annular grooves that mate with these protrusions. The engagement of the annular grooves with the arc-shaped protrusions prevents the pedal 3 from detaching from the guide rail along its width, thus improving the stability of the ski machine. The arc-shaped protrusions and the arc-shaped guide rails 2 can be a single integrated structure.

[0046] Specifically: the armrest 5 is inserted into the base 1, and the base 1 is provided with a socket 7 for mounting the armrest 5, and the socket 7 is provided with a socket hole that mates with the armrest 5; or, the bottom of the armrest 5 is connected to the base 1 by a ball joint.

[0047] The arc-shaped guide rail 2 comprises a first segment 8 and a second segment 9, both rotatably connected to the base 1. The arc-shaped guide rail 2 has a folded state and an unfolded state. Rotating the first segment 8 and the second segment 9 folds the arc-shaped guide rail 2, while rotating them in the opposite direction unfolds it. The contact surfaces of the first segment 8 and the second segment 9 position the arc-shaped guide rail 2 in the unfolded state. In the folded state, the elastic connectors 4 of the armrest 5 can be removed to further reduce the space occupied.

[0048] Specifically: The base 1 includes a middle seat 12, a first end seat 10, and a second end seat 11. The middle seat 12 is located between the first end seat 10 and the second end seat 11. The handrails 5 are respectively installed on the first end seat 10 and the second end seat 11. The first end seat 10 is rotatably connected to the middle seat 12 via the first segment 8, and the second end seat 11 is rotatably connected to the middle seat 12 via the second segment 9. Both the first segment 8 and the second segment 9 are rotatably connected to the middle seat 12 via a pivot. The two handrails 5 can be respectively installed on the first end seat 10 and the second end seat 11. One end of the elastic connector 4 is connected to the first end seat 10 and the second end seat 11 respectively, and the other end of the elastic connector 4 is connected to the pedal 3. The arc-shaped guide rail includes a wooden base frame and a guide rail body disposed on the wooden base frame. The wooden base frame includes two wooden boards, and the guide rail body is located between the two wooden boards.

Maintain your balance, engage your core muscles, and prepare to begin the skiing simulation. Gently press down on the pedals 3 and feel the rebound force of the elastic connectors 4. As the pedals 3 slide, shift your center of gravity forward, simulating the forward leaning motion while skiing. Control your speed and direction by adjusting the position and pressure of your feet on the pedals 3.

[0051] When you need to end the glide, gradually slow down and allow pedal 3 to slowly return to its original position under the action of elastic connector 4. Once you are stable, hold onto the handrail 5 with both hands to ensure your balance.

[0052] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Under the premise of non-contradiction, the various solutions can be combined arbitrarily. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in their shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
