Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment technology, and more specifically, to a simulated rowing machine. Background Technology
[0002] A rowing simulator is a fitness device that simulates the motion of rowing. It primarily provides aerobic and strength training by mimicking the movements and sensations of rowing on water. Widely used in gyms, home workouts, and professional sports training, it aims to enhance cardiovascular function, improve overall muscle strength, and increase endurance through the rowing motion.
[0003] In actual use, traditional rowing simulators on the market only have a sliding seat and lack auxiliary training devices for the waist and abdomen. During training, the user relies solely on the core strength of the waist and abdomen for support, which makes it easy to not train properly. Moreover, there is no support behind the user when leaning back, which poses a certain safety hazard. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address at least one of the aforementioned problems, this utility model first provides a simulated rowing machine, comprising a base unit and a seat unit disposed on the base unit. The seat unit includes a seat, a slide, and a first elastic element. The seat and the slide are connected in a back-and-forth swinging manner. The two ends of the first elastic element are respectively connected to the seat and the slide. When the user tilts the seat backward, the first elastic element provides a counterforce to assist in waist and abdominal training. When the user moves their upper body forward, the first elastic element causes the seat to return to its original position.
[0005] Optionally, the bottom of the seat is provided with an arc-shaped connecting frame, the slide is provided with a mounting part, a first roller is mounted on the mounting part, and the first roller is slidably connected to the connecting frame.
[0006] Optionally, the outer side wall of the connecting frame is provided with a first limiting block and a second limiting block, both of which are adapted to abut against and limit the mounting part.
[0007] Optionally, the seat unit and the base unit are slidably connected. The base unit includes a slide rail, which is slidably connected to the slide seat. The slide seat is provided with a second roller, which is slidably connected to the slide rail.
[0008] Optionally, the base unit includes an elastic rope and two handles. Pulleys are provided on both the left and right sides of the slide rail. The elastic rope is slidably connected to the pulleys, and the two handles are fixedly connected to both ends of the elastic rope.
[0009] Optionally, the base unit includes two foot pedals that are oscillatingly connected to the front end of the slide rail, and the foot pedals are provided with straps.
[0010] Optionally, the fore-and-aft swing angle range of the seat is 0-25 degrees, and the fore-and-aft swing angle range of the foot pedal is 0-35 degrees.
[0011] Optionally, the base unit is equipped with a counting electronic watch, and the bottom of the base unit is equipped with an anti-slip sleeve.
[0012] Optionally, the base unit includes a first connecting part and a second elastic member. The slide is provided with a second connecting part, and the two ends of the second elastic member are respectively connected to the first connecting part and the second connecting part. When the seat unit slides on the base unit, one end of the second elastic member moves with the seat unit.
[0013] Optionally, the base unit is provided with a first locking hole and a detachable locking member, and the second connecting part is provided with a second locking hole. After the locking member passes through the first locking hole and the second locking hole, it locks the seat unit and the base unit.
[0014] Compared to existing technologies, the simulated rowing machine of this invention, when the user sits on the seat and grasps the support points while leaning back, causes the front end of the seat to tilt upwards, pulling on the first elastic element to accumulate elastic force. This elastic force acts as a counterforce against the user's leaning motion, assisting in the training of the waist and abdomen, enhancing the user's ability to engage their core muscles, and thus improving the training effect. When the user moves forward and releases the leaning posture, the first elastic element causes the seat to return to its original position. Simultaneously, the seat back provides the user with a forward push, which the user must resist during training, using their own waist and abdomen strength to complete the forward movement. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen and engage the waist and abdomen muscles to achieve better training results. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] The accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model provide a coordinate system XYZ, where the positive direction of the X-axis represents the left and the negative direction of the X-axis represents the right, the positive direction of the Y-axis represents the front and the negative direction of the Y-axis represents the back, the positive direction of the Z-axis represents the top and the negative direction of the Z-axis represents the bottom.
[0027] This utility model embodiment provides a simulated rowing machine, combined with... Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the device includes a base unit and a seat unit mounted on the base unit. The seat unit includes a seat 1, a slide 2, and a first elastic element 3. The seat 1 and the slide 2 are connected to swing back and forth. The two ends of the first elastic element 3 are respectively connected to the seat 1 and the slide 2. When the user moves the seat 1 backward, the first elastic element 3 provides a counterforce to assist in waist and abdominal training. When the user moves their upper body forward, the first elastic element 3 moves the seat 1 back to its original position.
[0028] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, in this embodiment, the seat 1 includes a backrest and a seat cushion. The first elastic element 3 is a tension spring, which is connected to the bottom front end of the seat 1 and the front end of the slide 2. When a user sits on the seat 1 and holds onto the support point and leans back, the front end of the seat 1 tilts upward, thereby pulling the first elastic element 3 to accumulate elastic force. This elastic force acts as a counterforce against the user's leaning motion, assisting in the training of the waist and abdomen, enhancing the user's waist and abdomen strength, and thus improving the training effect. When the user moves forward and releases the leaning posture, the first elastic element 3 drives the seat 1 back to its original position. At the same time, the backrest of the seat 1 provides the user with a forward pushing sensation. During training, the user needs to resist this pushing sensation and use their own waist and abdomen strength to complete the forward movement. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen and contract the waist and abdomen strength to achieve a better training effect.
[0029] Optionally, the bottom of the seat 1 is provided with an arc-shaped connecting frame 101, the slide 2 is provided with a mounting part 201, and a first roller 202 is mounted on the mounting part 201. The first roller 202 and the connecting frame 101 are slidably connected.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting part 201 consists of two support plates with approximately triangular vertical cross-sections. There are three first rollers 202, each mounted at one of the three corners of the support plate. The axes of the first rollers 202 are parallel or approximately parallel to the left-right direction. A first movable cavity is formed between the upper first roller 202 and the two lower first rollers 202. The connecting frame 101 moves within the first movable cavity and is slidably connected to the three first rollers 202. This restricts the left-right and up-down movement of the connecting frame 101, making the back-and-forth swinging structure of the seat 1 more stable.
[0031] Optionally, the outer side wall of the connecting frame 101 is provided with a first limiting block 102 and a second limiting block 103, both of which are adapted to abut against and limit the mounting part 201.
[0032] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the first limiting block 102 and the second limiting block 103 both protrude from the left and right side walls of the connecting frame 101. When the first limiting block 102 abuts against the mounting part 201, the seat 1 is in the first extreme position; when the second limiting block 103 abuts against the mounting part 201, the seat 1 is in the second extreme position, and the seat 1 swings back and forth between the first extreme position and the second extreme position. The back-and-forth swing angle range of the seat 1 is 0-25 degrees. Within this range, the degree of backward leaning of the user can be controlled to avoid danger or strain on the lower back muscles caused by excessive backward leaning.
[0033] Optionally, the seat unit and the base unit are slidably connected. The base unit includes a slide rail 4, which is slidably connected to the slide seat 2. The slide seat 2 is provided with a second roller 203, which is slidably connected to the slide rail 4.
[0034] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two slide rails 4 and two slide blocks 2. A first connecting rod 11 is provided between the two slide rails 4, and the left and right ends of the first connecting rod 11 are fixedly connected to the two slide rails 4 by bolts. A second connecting rod 205 is provided between the two slide blocks 2, and the mounting part 201 is fixed on the second connecting rod 205. The left and right ends of the second connecting rod 205 are fixedly connected to the two slide blocks 2 by bolts. The slide block 2 is approximately an inverted triangle. There are three second rollers 203, which are respectively installed at the three corners of the slide block 2. The axis of the second rollers 203 is parallel or approximately parallel to the axis of the first roller 202. A second movable cavity is formed between the two upper second rollers 203 and the lower second roller 203. The slide rail 4 is confined in the second movable cavity and is slidably connected to the second movable cavity. This restricts the movement in the left and right and up and down directions, making the front and back sliding structure of the slide rail 4 and the slide block 2 more stable.
[0035] Optionally, the base unit includes an elastic rope 5 and two handles 6. Pulleys 7 are provided on both the left and right sides of the slide rail 4. The elastic rope 5 is slidably connected to the pulleys 7, and the two handles 6 are fixedly connected to both ends of the elastic rope 5.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the handles 6 serve as support points for the user's hands. The two handles 6 are connected by an elastic rope 5, which makes the pulling force of the hands more balanced. While resisting the pulling force of the rope, it can also resist the user's own pulling force, thereby further exercising the shoulder and arm strength. The pulley 7 makes the sliding of the elastic rope 5 smoother and more stable, reducing friction.
[0037] Optionally, the base unit includes two foot pedals 8, which are sway-connected to the front end of the slide rail 4, and the foot pedals 8 are provided with straps 801.
[0038] like Figure 5 and 7As shown, in this embodiment, a support rod 12 is fixed to the front end of the slide rail 4, and the support rod 12 is T-shaped. A mounting piece 13 is bolted to the bottom of the foot pedal 8. The mounting piece 13 has a central arch forming a mounting opening through which the support rod 12 passes. An arc-shaped groove 1301 is provided on the outer wall of the middle portion of the mounting piece 13. A connecting hole is provided on the support rod 12. The connecting hole and the arc-shaped groove 1301 are connected by bolts. The diameter of the bolt end is larger than the width of the arc-shaped groove 1301. The bolt head and the support rod 12 clamp the outer wall of the mounting piece 13, increasing friction. The foot pedal 8 and the support rod 12 are connected by a back-and-forth swinging connection via the arc-shaped groove 1301. The back-and-forth swinging angle of the foot pedal 8 ranges from 0 to 35 degrees. After the user places their foot on the foot pedal 8, the position is secured with a strap 801. During movement, the user exerts force with their legs, pushing the seat 1 to slide back and forth. The back-and-forth swinging of the foot pedal 8 coordinates with the user's movement, allowing the foot to exert force at a more comfortable angle.
[0039] Optionally, the base unit is provided with a counting electronic watch 14, and the bottom of the base unit is provided with an anti-slip sleeve 15.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the counting electronic watch 14 can calculate the number of times the user moves back and forth and the exercise time, to help the user plan training. The anti-slip sleeve 15 is made of rubber and is placed at both ends of the first connecting rod 11. The anti-slip pad contacts the ground to increase friction and prevent the base unit from moving during exercise.
[0041] Optionally, the base unit includes a first connecting part 9 and a second elastic member 10. The slide 2 is provided with a second connecting part 204. The two ends of the second elastic member 10 are respectively connected to the first connecting part 9 and the second connecting part 204. When the seat unit slides on the base unit, one end of the second elastic member 10 moves with the seat unit.
[0042] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the second elastic element 10 is also a tension spring. When the user extends their leg and pushes the seat 1 backward, the second elastic element 10 stretches and accumulates elastic force. This elastic force becomes a counterforce, used to counteract the user's leg strength and assist in leg strength training. When the user bends their leg and slowly retracts their force, the second elastic element 10 drives the seat unit to return to its original position. The user needs to control the force of their legs and move forward slowly with their own strength to prevent the force from dissipating too quickly.
[0043] There can be multiple second elastic elements 10; in this embodiment, there are four. The more second elastic elements 10 there are, the greater the resistance. Users can freely choose how many second elastic elements 10 to use according to their own training needs. For any extra second elastic elements 10, simply remove the hook at the end of the second elastic element 10 closest to the second connecting part 204.
[0044] Optionally, the base unit is provided with a first locking hole and a detachable locking member 16, and the second connecting part 204 is provided with a second locking hole. After the locking member 16 passes through the first locking hole and the second locking hole, it locks the seat unit and the base unit.
[0045] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two locking elements 16, one first locking hole, and two second locking holes, which respectively lock the left and right ends of the seat unit. The user can decide whether to lock the seat 1 according to their own exercise needs. When the seat 1 is locked, the user can use the pull ring and elastic rope 5 to train shoulder and arm strength separately.
[0046] Similarly, the components included in the "components," "mechanisms," and "devices" of this disclosure can also be flexibly combined.
