Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model discloses a rowing machine that is easy to store, belonging to the field of sports equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A rowing machine is a type of exercise equipment that simulates rowing.

[0003] Existing rowing machines, such as Figure 1 As shown, due to its long length, it is designed to be divided into two sections, front and back, for easy storage, and then folded in the middle for placement. However, because the seat needs to be on the side away from the water tank, the seat protrudes outwards after the rowing machine is folded, increasing the storage volume and making it very inconvenient for overall storage.

[0004] A new solution is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rowing machine that is easy to store in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objective through the following technical solution: a rowing machine that is easy to store, including an upper base for installing a rebound device and a water tank, a lower base rotatably connected to the upper base, a guide plate provided on the lower base, a seat movably mounted on the guide plate, an extension plate provided on the upper base, the extension plate being tightly fitted with the guide plate when the lower base and the upper base are in a straight line, and the seat being movable onto the extension plate.

[0007] Preferably, the upper base is provided with a ball-head plunger, which can abut against the seat.

[0008] Preferably, the upper base is provided with an insertion hole, and the lower base is provided with a protrusion, which can be inserted along the insertion hole to move the ball plunger.

[0009] Preferably, the guide slide is T-shaped, and the seat is provided with a limiting roller, which abuts against and limits the guide slide.

[0010] Preferably, the ball-head plunger is able to abut against and limit the movement of the limiting roller.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting an extension piece, the seat can slide to the upper base, and the seat can be placed in the space left by the upper base when it is folded, so that the surface of the lower base is flat and free of other items after folding, making it more convenient to store.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the present utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0017] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, a rowing machine that is easy to store includes an upper base 1 for mounting a rebound device and a water tank. The upper base 1 is rotatably connected to a lower base 2. A guide plate 7 is provided on the lower base 2. A seat 3 is movably mounted on the guide plate 7. An extension plate 8 is provided on the upper base 1. When the lower base 2 and the upper base 1 are in a straight line, the extension plate 8 is in close contact with the guide plate 7. The seat 3 can be moved onto the extension plate 8.

[0018] The reason for the creation of this product is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the existing product is usually placed at the edge of the living room when in use. After practice, the product is folded and then stood up. However, because the product was not designed and used in a way that the seat 3 would protrude 6 after being folded, it is often bumped or touched during use, which is very inconvenient. After collecting the above information, the product was upgraded.

[0019] After the upgrade, the limiting block originally installed on the lower base 2 to restrict the seat 3 from sliding to the upper base 1 was removed. At the same time, an extension piece 8 was installed on the upper base 1. The extension piece 8 is connected end to end to the guide piece 7, so that the seat 3 can slide onto the upper base 1 without obstruction. This allows the product to be folded so that the seat 3, which was originally on the lower base 2, can be moved to the upper base 1 and placed on the upper part of the water tank to make use of space, thus preventing the seat 3 from protruding when on the lower base 2.

[0020] Furthermore, by providing a ball plunger 4 on the upper base 1, which can abut against the seat 3, the limiting effect of the ball plunger 4 prevents the seat 3 from moving arbitrarily when sliding onto the upper base 1, thus preventing the seat 3 from being easily removed and damaged. Further, by utilizing the insertion hole 5 on the upper base 1 and the protrusion 6 on the lower base 2, the protrusion 6 can be inserted along the insertion hole 5 to push the ball plunger 4. Taking advantage of the characteristic that the upper base 1 and lower base 2 are in the working state when they are on the same straight line, the protrusion 6, inserted into the insertion hole 5, pushes the ball plunger 4, causing the ball plunger 4 to retract into the upper base 1. At this time, the limiting effect between the seat 3 and the ball plunger 4 is removed, and the seat 3 can slide freely.

[0021] The guide vane 7 is T-shaped, and the seat 3 is equipped with a limiting roller 9. The limiting roller 9 abuts against the guide vane 7 to limit the position, preventing the seat 3 from tilting during use. The ball plunger 4 abuts against the limiting roller 9 to limit the position. Since the ball plunger 4 needs to abut against the limiting roller 9 to cancel its limiting function, the limiting roller 9 abuts against the ball plunger 4. The rotatable nature of the limiting roller 9 allows it to roll against the ball plunger 4, thereby reducing friction when pushing the ball plunger 4 and making the product more durable.

[0022] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0023] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
