[0026] Figure 6 for Figure 5 Enlarged diagram of point E in the middle. Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0028] See Figures 1-6 A treadmill handrail folding mechanism includes a treadmill body 1, a handrail unit 2, and a locking unit 3.

[0029] For the treadmill body 1, corresponding first limiting parts 4 are fixed on its left and right side walls respectively. The fixing method can be welding, integral molding or fixing by fasteners, etc.

[0030] As one implementation method, the first limiting member 4 can be formed by bending a metal part or by laser cutting.

[0031] As one embodiment, the shape of the first limiting member 4 can be designed as U-shaped, as shown in the figure.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first limiting member 4 includes a first wall 41 and a first hole 42 is provided on the first wall 41. As one option, the upper surface of the first wall 41 is a flat surface.

[0033] To accommodate the side wall of the treadmill body, an avoidance opening 43 can be designed on the first limiting member 4 so that the first limiting member 4 fits more tightly with the treadmill body 1, or it can be used to avoid related components installed on the treadmill body 1.

[0034] For the handrail unit 2, in this embodiment, it includes two uprights 21 arranged on the left and right sides of the treadmill body 1. Of course, the upper ends of the two uprights 21 are respectively connected to a crossbar 22. The crossbar 22 can be used to install common treadmill accessories such as mobile phone holders and displays. The connection method between the two uprights 21 and the crossbar 22 can refer to existing designs, such as integral molding, plug-in assembly, fixing by fasteners or welding, etc.

[0035] The two uprights 21 of the handrail unit 2 are respectively rotatably mounted on the left and right side walls of the treadmill body 1. The lower end of each upright 21 is fixed with a corresponding second limiting member 5. The second limiting member 5 is used to cooperate with the first limiting member 4 to limit the handrail unit 2.

[0036] Specifically, the second limiting member 5 includes a second wall 51 that cooperates with the first wall 41 of the first limiting member 4. The second wall 51 has a second hole 52. As one option, the lower surface of the second wall 51 is a flat surface. When the handrail unit 2 is lifted and unfolded until the second wall 51 abuts against the first wall 41, the handrail unit 2 is limited.

[0037] After the armrest unit 2 is limited, the locking unit 3 is passed through the second hole 52 and the first hole 42 in sequence to lock the unfolded position of the armrest unit 2.

[0038] In one embodiment, the first hole 42 and / or the second hole 52 are threaded holes. Correspondingly, the locking unit 3 includes a threaded portion 31 that engages with the threaded hole. The threaded portion 31 can be referenced to a bolt. Of course, for ease of operation, the locking unit 3 may also include a handle 32, which is mounted on the upper end of the threaded portion 31.

[0039] Furthermore, the second limiting member 5 also includes a third wall 53 facing the treadmill body 1. As one option, the third wall 53 is formed by bending the second wall 51. The third wall 53 can serve as a contact wall with the outer surface of the column 21 to increase the contact area between the second limiting member 5 and the outer surface of the column 21 and improve the installation firmness.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first limiting member 4 is installed at the front end of the left and right side walls of the treadmill body 1, while a support member 6 for supporting the handrail unit 2 is fixed at the rear end of the left and right side walls of the treadmill body 1, so that when the handrail unit 2 is folded, the upper part of the handrail unit 2 is supported by the support member 6, such as... Figure 5 As shown.

[0041] In one embodiment, the support member 6 may be L-shaped, with its laterally extending portion 61 used to support the corresponding portion of the handrail unit 2.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
