Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of treadmill technology, and in particular to a treadmill base. Background Technology

[0002] The base frame of a common treadmill is usually assembled from metal tubes, such as in the patent document CN108452481B, which describes a treadmill frame. Figure 1 As shown, it includes side tubes on the left and right sides and a front tube at the front end. Then, it is necessary to install components such as the treadmill running board, treadmill head shell, treadmill bottom frame, and treadmill pedals. The installation process is complicated and the installation efficiency is low.

[0003] Based on this, the industry has proposed the concept of integral molding of components, such as the published patent document CN212282686U, which integrally molds the upper shell and the lower shell to reduce the installation process. However, considering the installation of the running belt, the running plate still needs to be separated from the shell. The running belt is wound around the running plate and then the running plate is fixed to the shell. The installation of the running plate is also more troublesome, with more fixing points.

[0004] To further improve the one-piece molding rate, the applicant filed a corresponding application: 2025207275140, which integrates the treadmill head shell, running board, and side pedals into one piece. This design has created new technical problems, as it cannot use the pre-molded annular running belt. The running belt needs to be installed on the treadmill in a strip form and then the two ends of the running belt are fixed together.

[0037] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0038] See Figures 1-10 A treadmill base includes an integrally formed base body 1, wherein the base body 1 includes an integrally formed treadmill head shell 11, a running board 12, and pedals 13 arranged on the left and right sides of the running board 12.

[0039] The rear ends of both pedals 13 include corresponding mounting parts 131. The two ends of the rear roller are respectively mounted on the corresponding mounting parts 131. For example, mounting positions for mounting the two ends of the rear roller can be opened on the bottom surface of the mounting part 131 and the corresponding two side walls. The mounting part can refer to the part where the rear roller is mounted in the existing design.

[0040] The two ends of the front roller are installed on the left and right mounting positions of the treadmill head shell 11. The installation method of the front roller can also refer to the existing design. The running belt is wrapped around the front roller and the rear roller.

[0041] Since the base body 1 is integrally formed, in order to accommodate the running belt, a first hole 2 is provided on the base body 1 for the running belt to pass through and be wound around the running board 12. As one embodiment, the first hole 2 is arranged at the adjacent position of the treadmill head shell 11 and the running board 12, or the first hole 2 is directly opened on the bottom surface of the end of the treadmill head shell 11 near the running board 12. The left and right width of the first hole 2 is greater than or equal to the width of the running belt, so as to provide sufficient space for the normal movement of the running belt.

[0042] The base body 1, which is formed in one piece, can be made of engineering plastics or the like. To further improve the strength of the base body 1, several reinforcing ribs can be provided on the back and / or front of the running board 12, and several reinforcing ribs can be provided on the back or inside of the pedal 13.

[0043] Furthermore, protruding edges 121 extend upwards from the front and / or rear ends of the running board 12 to form, together with the two pedals 13, a space for accommodating the wear-resistant layer, thereby reducing wear on the inner wall of the running belt. The extension height of the protruding edges 121 can be the same as the thickness of the wear-resistant layer, so that after the wear-resistant layer is installed, the running surface for users to step on during running is relatively flat. The material of the wear-resistant layer can refer to existing designs.

[0044] In order to make the one-piece molded base body 1 suitable for the ring-shaped running belt prepared by the upstream manufacturer, in this embodiment, the base body 1 is provided with a notch 3 connected to the first hole 2 for the running belt to pass through during installation. As one option, the notch 3 can be opened at the position of the treadmill head shell 11 near the pedal 13, which is closest to the installation position of the front roller.

[0045] After installing the ring-shaped running belt, the connector 4 is installed at the notch, so that the two ends separated by the notch 3 are connected by the connector 4, ensuring the support strength of the base body 1. Of course, the connector 4 can be designed to fit the shape and size of the notch 3 for a better connection effect.

[0046] In this embodiment, the connector 4 can be designed to be detachably installed at the notch 3, which not only facilitates installation, but also facilitates the maintenance and repair of the running belt in the later stage, such as fixing the connector 4 to the base body 1 with fasteners.

[0047] Of course, after the running belt is assembled, the connector 4 can also be fixed to the notch by welding or other fixing methods.

[0048] For the assembly of connector 4, it can be inserted into notch 3 in the direction of bottom to top, top to bottom, left to right or right to left. One of the insertion and mating methods can be to use a mating head and a mating groove, that is, to insert the mating head into the mating groove to assemble and position connector 4.

[0049] For example, the base body 1 has a number of first mating heads 31 and / or first mating grooves 32 located at the notch 3, and the connector 4 has a number of second mating grooves 41 that are adapted to the first mating heads 31 and / or second mating heads 42 that are adapted to the first mating grooves 32.

[0050] Specifically, the base body 1 includes a first wall 311, a second wall 312, a third wall 313, a fourth wall 314, and a fifth wall 315 at the notch 3, as follows: Figures 6-8As shown, the first wall 311 and the second wall 312 are respectively provided with corresponding first mating heads 31, and the third wall 313, the fourth wall 314 and the fifth wall 315 are respectively provided with corresponding first mating grooves 32. The first mating groove 32 also includes an opening 321 opened on the corresponding bottom surface. As one option, the first mating head 31 and the second mating head 42 can be of the same form, such as a T-shaped part. Correspondingly, the first mating groove 32 and the second mating groove 41 can also be of the same form, such as a T-shaped groove, which includes a first groove and a second groove that are interconnected. The first groove is used to insert the head 31a of the T-shaped part, and the second groove is used to insert the rod 31b of the T-shaped part.

[0051] As mentioned above, the third wall 313, the fourth wall 314 and the fifth wall 315 are respectively provided with corresponding first mating grooves 32, which are used to fit the rod part 31b of the T-shaped part, while the openings 321 on the corresponding bottom surfaces of the first mating grooves 32 are used to fit the head 31a of the T-shaped part.

[0052] Furthermore, the gap can be divided into three parts: the gap between the first wall 311 and the second wall 312 forms the first gap 33; the gap between the third wall 313 and the fourth wall 314 forms the second gap 34; and the gap between the third wall 313 and the fifth wall 315 forms the third gap 35.

[0053] Correspondingly, the connector 4 can be divided into two parts. The first part 43 is adapted to the first notch 33, and the second part 44 is adapted to the combination of the second notch 34 and the third notch 35. The first part 43 connects the upper half of the notch 3, and the second part 44 connects the lower half of the notch 3. In this way, the connector 4 fills the entire notch 3, which is basically consistent with the support strength of the base body without notches.

[0054] Furthermore, two second mating grooves 41 adapted to the first mating head 31 are provided on the top surface of the first part 43, and three second mating heads 42 adapted to the first mating grooves 32 are provided on the left and right side walls of the second part 44. In specific installation, after the first mating head 31 is aligned with the second mating groove 41 and the second mating head 42 is aligned with the first mating groove 32, the connector 4 can be inserted into the notch 3.

[0055] To facilitate the positioning of the connector 4 and improve the tightness of the fit between the connector 4 and the notch 3, in this embodiment, a laterally extending positioning member 36 is provided on the upper part of the notch 3. Correspondingly, the connector 4 includes a positioning notch 46 that matches the positioning member 36. The laterally extending positioning member 36 reduces the width of the notch so that it can overlap with the connector 4 in the longitudinal direction, which helps to improve the support strength of the base body 1 after the connector 4 is installed.

[0056] Furthermore, the base body 1 includes a first extension head 71 on one side of the notch 3. The first extension head 71 may be part of the bottom surface of the treadmill head shell 11. The first extension head 71 has a groove 711. The connector 4 includes a second extension head 72 that is adapted to the groove 711.

[0057] As one embodiment, holes for installing fasteners can be made on the first extension head 71 and the second extension head 72, at the positioning member 36 and the positioning notch 46. At the same time, several holes for installing fasteners can also be made on the bottom surface of the connector 4 and at corresponding positions on the base body 1.

[0058] A method for installing a treadmill running belt includes the following steps:

[0059] S1. Take the aforementioned base body 1 and assemble the ring-shaped running belt from one side with the notch 3 to the other side onto the base body 1. That is, push the running belt horizontally onto the base body 1. The front end of the running belt enters the first hole 2 through the notch 3. Since the rear end of the base body 1 is unobstructed, the rear end of the running belt can be directly pushed in. After being pushed in, the running belt is wrapped around the running plate 12. The upper part of the running belt is above the running plate 12, and the lower part is below the running plate 12. The front roller and the rear roller can be installed synchronously with the running belt, or they can be installed after the running belt is installed and then passed through the front and rear ends of the running belt. Then, the two ends of the rollers are positioned.

[0060] S2. As one option, the connector 4 is installed into the notch 3 and positioned. Alternatively, the connector 4 is installed into the notch 3 from bottom to top and positioned by fasteners.

[0061] 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.
