Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a replaceable underwater dumbbell. Background Technology
[0002] Dumbbells are commonly used swimming aids for children learning to swim. Current swimming aids include kickboards, backboards, and dumbbells. Kickboards and backboards are held in front and worn on the back, respectively, both aiding in buoyancy. Backboards don't require holding; they are simply worn on the back. However, removing them in the water is not easy, especially when children can float independently and no longer need the aid. Kickboards avoid this issue, allowing for easy release. However, kickboards are not as child-friendly as they are generally a single piece. While children can grasp the sides of the float board, their hands are often too small, making it difficult to maintain a firm grip. Therefore, dumbbells are a more suitable aid for children learning to swim. The round bar in the middle of the dumbbell is easier for children to grip, and they can hold one dumbbell in each hand to increase buoyancy. However, most modern dumbbells are fixed and cannot be disassembled. The dumbbell heads are attached to both ends of the dumbbell bar and secured with glue, making them irremovable. Once the dumbbell heads wear down, they cannot be replaced. Furthermore, modern dumbbells lack tethering, so beginners who cannot float independently will lose buoyancy if they accidentally let go.

[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a replaceable underwater dumbbell is mainly used to assist in floating while learning to swim. It includes a dumbbell bar 3 and dumbbell heads a1 and b4 with identical structures at both ends; a fixing member 9 is provided between the dumbbell head a1 and the dumbbell bar 3 to detachably fix the dumbbell head a1 to the dumbbell bar 3.
[0021] See Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the fixing component 9 includes a fixing ring 9.1 sleeved on the dumbbell bar 3, with multiple inserts 9.2 evenly arranged on the fixing ring 9.1, and ball heads 9.3 respectively provided on the inserts 9.2; furthermore, the inserts 9.2 will be directly inserted into the dumbbell head a1. The dumbbell head a1 and the dumbbell bar 3 are both made of EVA material (here, EVA is ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, a general-purpose polymer with the molecular formula (C2H4)x·(C4H6O2)y) to keep them floating on the water surface; due to the good elasticity and flexibility of EVA material, the inserts 9.2 can form a transition fit with it after insertion, so that the dumbbell head a1 will not easily detach from the fixing component 9. In this way, the dumbbell head a1 can be initially fixed to the end of the dumbbell bar 3, and later, when the dumbbell head a1 wears out, it can be manually removed from the fixing component 9.
[0022] The dumbbell bar 3 has threads 3.1 at both ends.
[0023] One end of the dumbbell head a1 is provided with a concave groove 1.2; a matching cap nut 7 is provided in the groove 1.2; specifically, the dumbbell head a1 is sleeved on the end of the dumbbell bar 3. In order to fix the dumbbell head a1, the fixing piece 9 is first sleeved on the dumbbell bar 3, and the insert rod 9.2 is inserted into the dumbbell head a1. The ball head 9.3 can fit more tightly with the dumbbell head a1, so that it will not easily fall off. Then, the cap nut 7 is inserted into the groove 1.2, and the cap nut 7 is threaded to the end of the dumbbell bar 3 through the thread 3.1. In this way, the dumbbell head a1 is fixed in one direction from the outside end. With the fixing piece 9, it can be ensured that the dumbbell head a1 is fixed in both directions at the end of the dumbbell bar 3. The dumbbell head can also be replaced by removing the cap nut 7 and applying external force to pull the dumbbell head a1 out of the fixing piece 9.
[0024] A gasket 8 is provided at the contact position between the cap nut 7 and the end of the dumbbell head a1 to improve the sealing of the contact position and prevent water from entering the groove 1.2 during use.
[0025] The end of the dumbbell head a1 that contacts the fixing member 9 is provided with a blind hole 1.1 corresponding to the insertion rod 9.2. More specifically, the depth of the blind hole 1.1 is the same as the height of the insertion rod 9.2. The maximum diameter of the ball head 9.3 is greater than the diameter of the blind hole 1.1, while the diameter of the insertion rod 9.2 is smaller than the diameter of the blind hole 1.1. The diameter of the fixing ring 9.1 is greater than the diameter of the dumbbell head a1. Thus, due to the high elasticity of EVA, although the ball head 9.3 is directly larger than the blind hole 1.1, it can achieve a transitional fit due to the elasticity. The rod 9.2 is inserted into the blind hole 1.1 and is not easily dislodged. The diameter of the rod 9.2 is smaller than that of the blind hole to avoid excessive resistance during insertion. At the same time, the diameter of the retaining ring 9.1 is larger than that of the dumbbell head a1. This way, after the rod 9.2 is inserted, the position where the dumbbell head a1 contacts the retaining ring 9.1 is blocked by the retaining ring 9.1, preventing the dumbbell head a1 from moving towards the middle of the dumbbell bar 3. It should be noted that the retaining ring 9.1 and the dumbbell bar 3 are fixed by a threaded connection.
[0026] The dumbbell bar 3 has a connecting sleeve 2 in the middle, and a telescopic rope 5 is provided on the connecting sleeve 2. A wristband 6 is provided at the other end of the telescopic rope 5 for fixing to the wrist. Furthermore, the wristband 6 is made of elastic cloth or adhesive cloth, so that when learning to swim, there is no need to worry about accidentally or running out of strength and falling off the dumbbell, which can ensure that the dumbbell always provides buoyancy assistance.
[0027] The cap nut 7 has a cross-shaped clip at the top, making it more convenient to use the cap nut.
[0028] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0029] By employing a fastener and a blind hole in the dumbbell head, along with a cap nut that threads with the dumbbell bar, the traditional water dumbbell head and bar are glued together and cannot be replaced. This allows for a detachable and replaceable design, enabling the dumbbell head to be replaced based on wear and tear, or different sized dumbbell heads to be installed to achieve varying buoyancy for different body weights. This improves performance and simplifies maintenance. The addition of a wristband design prevents children from accidentally letting go of the dumbbells while learning to swim or from releasing them due to lack of strength, which could lead to insufficient buoyancy, sinking, and other safety hazards.
