Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of treadmills, and more particularly to an assembly structure of a running platform and a roller for driving the running belt. Background Technology
[0002] The treadmill running platform includes a running platform base frame, a drive roller and a driven roller rotating at the front and rear ends of the running platform base frame, and a running belt wound around the drive roller and the driven roller. The front end of the running platform base frame has a recessed chamber, and a drive motor for driving the drive roller to rotate is installed in the chamber. The connection structure between the drive roller and the driven roller and the running platform base frame is the same. For details, please refer to the novel treadmill track anti-lateral slip structure disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN212141303U. The patent describes that the driven roller is assembled on the bottom fixed frame by a U-shaped bracket. The driven roller is rotatably set on a fixed shaft. A bolt is vertically screwed to both ends of the fixed shaft. The bolt is inserted into the U-shaped bracket and locked with a nut. The existing U-shaped bracket and running platform base are both made of metal and are fixed by welding. However, with the increasing demand for lightweight treadmills, some treadmills have replaced the original metal with plastic for the running platform base. The U-shaped bracket, which is made of the same material, needs to withstand the force transmitted to it by the friction between the rollers (drive roller and driven roller) and the fixed shaft during the use of the treadmill. The brittleness and strength of plastic make it easy to crack after a period of use, which requires replacing the entire bottom fixing frame, which is too costly. Utility Model Content
[0003] This utility model addresses the drawback of lightweight treadmills, where the assembly blocks (U-shaped brackets) are easily damaged, requiring the entire treadmill base to be replaced along with the bracket, resulting in excessive replacement costs. It provides an assembly structure for the treadmill and the rollers for the treadmill belt drive that meets the requirements of lightweight design while reducing replacement costs.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method:
[0005] An assembly structure for a treadmill and a roller for treadmill belt drive includes a treadmill base frame made of plastic and an assembly block for assembling and fixing a limiting bolt with a fixed shaft. The assembly block is made of high-strength material and is detachably fixed to the treadmill base frame by locking bolts.
[0006] The above solution uses plastic material for the treadmill base, which is lighter than the existing metal material. The assembly blocks are made of metal, which significantly improves strength and resistance to deformation. The assembly blocks are locked to the treadmill base with locking bolts. Compared with a single metal material, this method is lighter, and compared with a single plastic material, it is lighter while reducing the frequency and cost of replacement.
[0007] Preferably, each of the four corners of the assembly block is provided with a through threaded groove, and the locking bolt is inserted from the bottom of the assembly groove and locked with the threaded groove.
[0008] Using the above solution, all four corners of the assembly block are fixed to the base frame of the running platform with locking bolts, ensuring a firm and stable assembly.
[0009] Preferably, each of the rear ends of both sides of the treadmill base has a recessed assembly groove for accommodating the assembly block, and the treadmill base has a snap-fit limiter for covering or exposing the assembly block.
[0010] Using the above solution, the assembly block can be completely hidden after the rear cover and the running platform base are assembled, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.
[0011] Preferably, the rear end cover is L-shaped, with two vertically arranged ends of the rear end cover having horizontally protruding inserts, and the base of the running platform having recessed slots for horizontal insertion of the inserts, and a locking screw that passes through the rear end cover and is screwed onto the assembly block.
[0012] Using the above scheme, the rear end cover and the running platform base are connected by a plug-in joint, and then locked with the assembly block by locking screws.
[0013] Preferably, a protective block is screwed onto the treadmill base frame to connect with the rear end cover and the treadmill base frame. The protective block is located in the gap between the treadmill belt and the two sides of the treadmill base frame and fills the gap between the driven roller sidewall and the treadmill base frame.
[0014] With the above solution, there are assembly gaps between the running belt and the two sides of the running platform base, and there are assembly gaps between the side wall of the driven roller and the running platform base. After the protective blocks are installed, they can cover and fill the gaps exposed in the field of vision, preventing children from accidentally touching them and getting their fingers caught in the gaps.
[0015] Preferably, the assembly includes an assembly extension block that extends into the assembly slot and simultaneously assembles with the treadmill base and the rear end cover, a filling block that fills the gap between the driven roller sidewall and the treadmill base, and a locking extension block that is fixed to the treadmill base by fastening screws.
[0016] Preferably, the bottom and sidewalls of the splicing extension block are respectively recessed with a first splicing groove and a second splicing groove, the base of the running platform is vertically protruding with a first splicing block that engages with the first splicing groove, and the rear end cover is protruding with a second splicing block that engages with the second splicing groove.
[0017] Using the above scheme, the filler block is used to fill the assembly gap, and the splicing extension block is spliced with the rear end cover and the running platform base frame. Then, the locking extension block is used to fix the running platform base frame to further increase the firmness of the connection of the rear end cover.
[0018] Preferably, the assembly block is made of carbon fiber, metal, or PPS.
[0019] This utility model has significant technical effects due to the adoption of the above technical solutions: the base frame of the running platform is made of lightweight plastic, and the assembly blocks are made of high-strength metal, carbon fiber, or PPS. The two are fixedly assembled by locking bolts, which reduces the overall weight of the machine while ensuring the strength of the assembly blocks, thus delaying the replacement frequency of the assembly blocks and reducing replacement costs; the design of protective blocks reduces the risk of children's hands getting caught and improves the stability and firmness of the rear cover installation.
