Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment technology, and in particular to a fitness ring. Background Technology
[0002] Hula hoops, also known as fitness hoops, have quickly become a popular exercise for all ages due to their lightweight and attractive design and small size. Skilled users can achieve good exercise and development of the abdominal, gluteal, and leg muscles, effectively improving the flexibility and suppleness of the waist, hip, and knee joints. Besides being used as a toy, hula hoops are also frequently used in competitions, acrobatic performances, or as a weight-loss tool.
[0003] When fitness rings are used for weight loss and fitness, after a period of exercise, the original fitness ring will feel too light and need to be replaced with a heavier one. During long-term exercise, many fitness rings need to be replaced, and the replaced fitness rings will eventually have to be discarded, which not only wastes resources but also increases fitness costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome at least one of the defects described in the prior art, this utility model provides a fitness ring to solve problems such as the fitness ring being too light and lacking weight adjustment.

Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0035] Example:
[0036] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a fitness ring includes multiple connecting units 1, which are connected end to end to form a circle. The connecting unit 1 is hollow inside, with one end open. The connecting unit 1 has two symmetrical slots 11 at the open end, and a locking head 12 at the other end. The locking head 12 has two symmetrical elastic locking rods 121. The elastic locking rods 121 on one connecting unit 1 are adapted to the slots 11 on the other connecting unit 1. By locking the elastic locking rods 121 into the slots 11, multiple connecting units 1 can be quickly assembled into a circle.
[0037] The outer surface of the connecting unit 1 is covered with a soft pad to increase exercise comfort and prevent injury to the exerciser.
[0038] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting unit 1 is provided with a pushing component 2, a heavy ball 3, and a plug 4 in sequence from the bottom to the opening. The pushing component 2 includes a bending spring 21 and a partition 22. The bending spring 21 has the same curvature as the connecting unit 1 and is slidably connected inside the connecting unit 1. The partition 22 is slidably connected inside the connecting unit 1. When there is one pushing component 2, one end of the bending spring 21 abuts against the bottom of the connecting unit 1, and the other end abuts against one side of the partition 22. The other side of the partition 22 abuts against the heavy ball 3. The plug 4 clamps the heavy ball 3 in the middle through the partition 22. When there are multiple pushing components 2, the multiple pushing components 2 abut against each other in sequence. One end of the bending spring 21 of one pushing component 2 abuts against the partition 22 of another pushing component 2.
[0039] Among them, a layer of padding is provided on the outer surface of the bending spring 21 to prevent loud noise from collision.
[0040] The connecting unit 1 has two symmetrical sliding grooves 13, which are arc-shaped and have the same curvature as the connecting unit 1. The outer circumference of the partition plate 22 has two symmetrical limiting platforms 221, which are slidably connected in the sliding grooves 13.
[0041] It should be noted that the sides of the partition 22 and the limiting platform 221 are both designed to be semi-circular, so that the partition 22 can slide smoothly within the connecting unit 1.
[0042] In a further explanation of this embodiment, when multiple pushing components 2 are provided, when multiple heavy balls 3 are prevented in the connecting unit 1, multiple pushing components 2 can be squeezed at the same time to reduce the length of the pushing components 2. When the length cannot be reduced, one pushing component 2 can be disassembled to place more heavy balls 3. Conversely, when reducing the number of heavy balls 3, the pushing components 2 are added to keep the heavy balls 3 in a squeezed state to prevent the heavy balls 3 from rolling or shaking.
[0043] Among them, a septum is provided on the outer side of the heavy ball 3, which can increase the friction between the heavy ball 3 and the inner wall of the connecting unit 1, and further prevent it from shaking.
[0044] The weighted ball 3 comes in three sizes: solid ball, hollow ball, and half-ball. The weight of the half-ball is half that of the solid ball, and the weight of the hollow ball is half that of the half-ball. Users can choose the size of the weighted ball 3 according to their own conditions, thereby adjusting the overall weight of the fitness ring.
[0045] It should be noted that when changing the number and specifications of the weighted balls 3 in one connecting unit 1, the number and specifications of the weighted balls 3 in the remaining connecting units 1 need to be unified so that each connecting unit 1 has the same weight. This ensures that the hula hoop will not affect the user experience or cause injury to the user due to uneven weight distribution when rotating.
[0046] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the plug 4 is generally arc-shaped, and the curvature of the plug 4 is the same as that of the connecting unit 1. The plug 4 has a boss 41 on the side facing the heavy ball 3, and a groove 411 is provided at the end of the boss 41. The shape of the groove 411 is adapted to the outer side of the heavy ball 3. The groove 411 can further restrict the heavy object and prevent it from shaking.
[0047] A further extension of this embodiment is to place flexible spacers between each weight, which can restrict or prevent each weight from colliding.
[0048] refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the plug 4 has an insertion rod 42 on the opposite side facing the ball 3, and the clamp 12 has a through hole 122 in the middle. The insertion rod 42 of the plug 4 in one connection unit 1 is slidably connected to the through hole 122 of the clamp 12 in another connection unit 1.
[0049] It should be noted that both the insertion rod 42 and the through hole 122 are arc-shaped, and their curvature is the same as that of the connecting unit 1. This not only prevents the plug 4 from rotating and getting stuck in the connecting unit 1, causing blockage and making it difficult to remove, but also makes it easy to remove the plug 4 through the insertion rod 42, saving time and effort. Furthermore, the insertion rod 42 can be used to push the plug 4 to test whether the heavy object is squeezed, preventing gaps from being left and causing collisions between heavy objects.
[0050] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, each of the connecting units 1 is provided with a pressing mechanism 5 at the slot 11. The pressing mechanism 5 includes a spring 51 and a pressing rod 52. The pressing rod 52 is provided with a pressing plate 521. Each of the connecting units 1 is provided with a through groove 14 at the slot 11. One end of the through groove 14 is connected to the slot 11, and the other end is connected to the outside. A limiting groove 141 is provided in the through groove 14. The pressing rod 52 is slidably connected in the through groove 14, and the pressing plate 521 is slidably connected in the through groove 14. The spring 51 is located in the limiting groove 141. One end of the spring 51 abuts against the bottom of the limiting groove 141, and the other end abuts against the pressure plate 521. By pressing the outer end of the pressure rod 52, the inner end of the pressure rod 52 moves into the slot 11, thereby pushing the elastic locking rod 121 to disengage from the slot 11, thus completing the disassembly of the connecting unit 1. When the locking rod is released, it returns to its original position under the action of the spring 51.
[0051] Further explanation of this embodiment: the pressure bar 52 is located on the outer side, one end of which is higher than the outer side of the connecting unit 1. Disassembly can be completed by directly pressing the pressure bar 52 without tools. The outer side of the connecting unit 1 is provided with a soft pad, which can wrap the pressure bar 52 inside without affecting the overall aesthetics of the fitness ring. The pressure bar 52 is located on the upper and lower sides of the fitness ring, so it will not affect the use of the fitness ring. The connecting unit 1 has pressure bars 52 on both the upper and lower sides. When the fitness ring is dropped on the ground, it will just squeeze one side of the pressure bar 52 without disassembling the fitness ring.
[0052] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
