Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment technology, specifically to a foldable treadmill. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional treadmill uprights are mostly fixed or manually detachable. Fixed uprights take up a lot of space, and the handrails protrude during transportation and storage, increasing the size. Manually detachable uprights require tools to disassemble, which is a cumbersome process.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a treadmill that can be operated with one button, folds slowly, and has a compact structure. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, a treadmill with automatic column folding via button control and hydraulic slow descent is provided, which reduces storage volume and transportation costs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a foldable treadmill, including a running platform and uprights arranged on both sides of the running platform, with panels provided on the uprights, and also including...
[0006] The pivot is connected to the column at one end and to the running platform at the other end.
[0007] A damping motor, with a column connected to the rotating shaft, controls the rotation angle and speed of the rotating shaft;
[0008] The control module is electrically connected to the damping motor, receives signals, and controls the operation of the damping motor.
[0009] In the folded state, the two uprights are located on both sides of the running platform and are on the same plane as the running platform.
[0010] According to this utility model, the column is further provided with a top button, which is a waterproof contact switch.
[0011] According to this utility model, the button on the top of the column is a double-press button to prevent accidental touch.
[0012] According to this utility model, pressing the button on the top of the column transmits a signal to the control module, which receives the start signal and activates the damping motor.
[0013] According to this utility model, the foldable angle range of the column towards the running platform side is 0-90°.
[0014] According to this utility model, the column is further provided with a mechanical pull pin. When the column is folded, it is fixed to the running platform by the mechanical pull pin to prevent the column from detaching from the running platform.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: when not in use or during transportation, the damping motor drives the column to rotate and fold through the rotating shaft, reducing the overall size of the machine, which is convenient for storage and can also reduce transportation costs.

[0020] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.
[0021] like Figs. 1 to 3 As shown in the illustration, this application discloses a foldable treadmill, including a running platform 100. Uprights 200 are connected to both sides of the running platform 100 via pivots 600. A panel 500 is provided on the top of each upright 200. To achieve a slow descent of the uprights 200 and ensure stability during the folding process, a damping motor 300 is fitted around the pivot 400, controlling the slow descent folding time to 3-5 seconds. Preferably, the damping motor 300 is installed at the bottom of the fixed frame of the running platform 100, avoiding exposure of the damping motor 300, thus improving the overall appearance of the machine and reducing protrusions.
[0022] The column 200 is equipped with a top button 210, which is a waterproof contact switch and a double-press anti-accidental-touch button. That is, the first press starts the preparation, and the second confirmation performs the folding operation. The treadmill has a control module that is electrically connected to the damping motor 300. The control module receives the start signal and activates the motor, and synchronously starts the hydraulic damper 300.
[0023] The foldable angle range of the upright column 200 towards the running platform 100 is 0-90°. In the folded state, the two upright columns 200 are located on both sides of the running platform 100. Folding reduces the overall storage volume of the machine, and also allows for the use of smaller packaging during transportation, reducing shipping costs.
[0024] To further improve stability after folding, a positioning through hole is provided on the column 200. The positioning through hole penetrates the opposite sides of the peripheral wall of the column 200 and contains a spring pin 600. When the column 200 is folded, one end of the spring pin 600 is pressed against the side of the running platform 100, reducing the probability of the column 200 separating from the running platform 100.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When folding is required, press the button 210 on the top of the column, and the signal is transmitted to the control module. The control module starts the damping motor 300. The output shaft of the damping motor 300 drives the column 200 to swing horizontally towards the running board 100 through the rotating shaft 600, and is located on both sides of the running board 100, thus realizing folding.
[0026] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
