Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fitness equipment technology, specifically relating to a new type of mountaineering machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, a stair climber has appeared on the market that simulates mountain climbing and stair climbing movements. This type of stair climber can be used indoors, providing great convenience for fitness and exercise. Existing stair climbers typically include a support frame for ground support, with two upward-sloping guide frames arranged side-by-side on the support frame. Each guide frame has a set of pedal assemblies, and a steel cable connects the two sets of pedal assemblies. The steel cable passes through a rope wheel on the support frame and its two ends are connected to the two sets of pedal assemblies respectively. During use, the user places their feet on the two sets of pedal assemblies, causing them to alternately tilt and slide up and down. Existing stair climbers use a steel cable to enable the two sets of pedal assemblies to tilt and slide up and down alternately. Because the steel cable lacks cushioning, the user's knees experience a strong impact during the alternating up and down movements of their feet, which can easily lead to injury or discomfort. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides a novel climbing machine, which aims to solve the problem that existing climbing machines use steel cables to allow two sets of pedal assemblies to alternately tilt and slide up and down, resulting in strong impact on the user's knees during exercise and making them prone to injury.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A new type of mountaineering machine includes:
[0006] A support frame, wherein the support frame is provided with two guide frames, one on the left and one on the right, extending upwards and tilting from back to front; and,
[0007] Two sets of pedal assemblies are slidably mounted on two guide frames respectively; each set of pedal assemblies is provided with at least one damper between itself and the guide frame, the damper being used to provide a damping force opposite to the direction of the external force when an external force drives the corresponding pedal assembly to slide downward.
[0008] A further embodiment: the damper is a hydraulic rod; the hydraulic rod is located between the lower end of the guide frame and the pedal assembly.
[0009] Based on the above technical solution: the hydraulic rod is easy to install, which not only enables users to complete mountaineering training smoothly, but also provides a good cushioning effect.
[0010] A further embodiment: the hydraulic rod is parallel to the guide frame.
[0011] Based on the above technical solution: the hydraulic rod is set parallel to the guide frame, so that the direction of the damping force it provides is consistent with the direction of the up and down sliding of the pedal assembly, which can play a better buffering role.
[0012] A further embodiment: The upper and lower ends of the hydraulic rod are fixedly connected to the guide frame and the pedal assembly, respectively.
[0013] A further solution: Two dampers are provided between each set of the pedal assembly and the guide frame, and the two sets of dampers are located on the left and right sides of the guide frame corresponding to them, respectively.
[0014] Based on the above technical solution, two dampers can generate greater damping force, thereby playing a better buffering role.
[0015] A further solution: The lower end of the support frame is provided with a support plate for supporting it on the ground.
[0016] Based on the above technical solution, the contact area between the support plate and the ground is larger, making the entire mountaineering machine more stable when supported on the ground.
[0017] A further embodiment: the lower end of each guide frame is connected to the rear end of the support frame, and the upper end of each guide frame is inclined upward toward the front end of the support frame.
[0018] Based on the above technical solution, the above settings make the climbing machine more stable.
[0019] A further solution: A novel climbing machine, further comprising two handrails, left and right, located at the front of the climbing machine. Each handrail extends upward from the front end of a support frame, and the lower end of each handrail is fixedly connected to the support frame. The middle part of each handrail is fixedly connected to the upper end of a guide frame on its corresponding side.
[0020] Based on the above technical solution: the above settings create a triangular support between the handrail, guide frame and support frame, thereby making the entire mountaineering machine more stable.
[0021] A further embodiment: Each pedal assembly includes a sliding seat slidably connected to the guide frame and a foot pedal disposed on the sliding seat. The front end of the foot pedal is hinged to the sliding seat via a first pin. An angle adjustment assembly for adjusting and locking the tilt angle of the foot pedal relative to the sliding seat is provided between the rear end of the foot pedal and the sliding seat.
[0022] A further embodiment: The angle adjustment component includes a plurality of first positioning holes disposed on the foot pedal and surrounding the first pin, a second positioning hole disposed on the sliding seat, and a positioning pin. The positioning pin adjusts and locks the tilt angle of the foot pedal relative to the sliding seat by engaging the second positioning hole with different first positioning holes.
[0023] Based on the above technical solution: by setting an angle adjustment component to adjust the tilt angle of the foot pedal relative to the sliding seat, it is convenient for different users to adjust according to their needs.
[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0025] This invention eliminates the need for a steel cable between the two sets of pedal assemblies by installing at least one damper between each set of pedal assemblies and the guide frame. The damper provides a damping force opposite to the direction of the external force when an external force drives the corresponding pedal assembly to slide downwards. In use, the user's feet alternately tilt and slide the two sets of pedal assemblies up and down. When one set of pedal assemblies reaches the bottom, the damping force generated by the damper drives it to tilt upwards and return to its original position, thus assisting the user in simulating mountain climbing. Furthermore, the damper provides cushioning during the downward movement of the pedal assemblies, reducing impact on the knees and protecting the user from injury, resulting in a better user experience.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a novel climbing machine, including:
[0033] Support frame 1, wherein the support frame 1 is provided with two guide frames 14 extending upward and tilting from back to front; and,
[0034] Two sets of pedal assemblies 2 are slidably mounted on two guide frames 14, respectively. Each set of pedal assemblies 2 has at least one damper between it and the guide frame 14. The damper provides a damping force opposite to the direction of the external force when an external force drives the corresponding pedal assembly 2 to slide downwards. That is, when the user uses leg strength to push the pedal assembly 2 downwards along the guide frame 14, the damper provides a damping force to push the pedal assembly 2 upwards along the guide frame 14, causing it to return to its original position. This assists the user in alternating up and down sliding with both feet, simulating a mountaineering motion. When the user is not stepping on the pedal assembly 2, it is located at the upper end of the guide frame 14.
[0035] In some specific embodiments, the damper is preferably a hydraulic rod 3; specifically, the hydraulic rod 3 is located between the lower end of the guide frame 14 and the pedal assembly 2.
[0036] The damper can also be a compression spring device, specifically including a rod connected to the pedal assembly 2, a sleeve connected to the lower end of the guide frame 14, and a compression spring disposed in the sleeve, with the lower end of the rod located inside the sleeve and fixed to the compression spring.
[0037] Preferably, the hydraulic rod 3 is installed parallel to the guide frame 14. This ensures that the direction of the damping force it provides is consistent with the direction of the up-and-down sliding of the pedal assembly 2, thus providing a better cushioning effect.
[0038] In some specific embodiments, the upper and lower ends of the hydraulic rod 3 are fixedly connected to the guide frame 14 and the pedal assembly 2, respectively. Specifically, the connection is made by means of bolts or the like.
[0039] Alternatively, the upper and lower ends of the hydraulic rod 3 can be hinged to the lower end of the guide frame 14 and the pedal assembly 2, respectively. This configuration allows the hydraulic rod 3 to be set at a certain angle to the guide frame 14, or the hydraulic rod 3 to be parallel to the guide frame 14.
[0040] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to achieve better reset and buffering effects, two dampers are provided between each set of pedal assemblies 2 and the guide frame 14. The two sets of dampers are located on the left and right sides of the guide frame 14 respectively. Specifically, when the damper is a hydraulic rod 3, the lower ends of the two hydraulic rods 3 can be fixedly connected to the guide frame 14 by the same bolt, and the upper ends of the two hydraulic rods 3 can be fixedly connected to the pedal assembly 2 by the same bolt.
[0041] The number of dampers can be increased or decreased according to specific needs. Specifically, the dampers can be detachably connected to the guide frame 14 and the pedal assembly 2.
[0042] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to improve the stability of the climbing machine during use, the lower end of the support frame 1 is provided with a support plate 11 for supporting the ground. The support plate 11 has a larger contact area with the ground, making the entire climbing machine more stable when supported on the ground.
[0043] Each guide frame 14 has its lower end connected to the rear end of the support frame 1, and its upper end tilts upwards towards the front end of the support frame 1. Specifically, the support frame 1 has two connecting slots arranged side by side, with the lower ends of the two guide frames 14 located inside the rear ends of the two connecting slots respectively. Each guide frame 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of its corresponding connecting slot via two pins, thus improving its stability.
[0044] Each of the guide frames 14 includes two fixedly connected clamping plates on the left and right sides, with a guide rail between the two clamping plates, and the pedal assembly 2 slides along the guide rail.
[0045] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the climbing machine of this utility model also includes two handrails 4 located on the front side of the climbing machine, one on the left and one on the right. Each handrail 4 extends upward from the front end of the support frame 1, and the lower end of each handrail 4 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1. The middle part of each handrail 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the guide frame 14 on its corresponding side. The upper end of the handrail 4 is provided with a hand grip for easy gripping by the user, thereby improving stability when simulating climbing movements. A connecting frame 5 is provided between the upper ends of the two guide frames 14, thereby further increasing the stability of the entire climbing machine.
[0046] In some specific implementations, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each pedal assembly 2 includes a sliding seat 21 slidably connected to the guide frame 14 and a foot pedal 22 disposed on the sliding seat 21. The front end of the foot pedal 22 is hinged to the sliding seat 21 via a first pin. An angle adjustment assembly for adjusting and locking the tilt angle of the foot pedal 22 relative to the sliding seat 21 is provided between the rear end of the foot pedal 22 and the sliding seat 21. The upper end of the hydraulic rod 3 is specifically fixedly connected to the sliding seat 21.
[0047] One specific structure is that the angle adjustment component includes a plurality of first positioning holes 221 disposed on the foot pedal 22 and surrounding the first pin, a second positioning hole disposed on the sliding seat 21, and a positioning pin 211. The positioning pin 211 adjusts and locks the tilt angle of the foot pedal 22 relative to the sliding seat 21 by cooperating the second positioning hole with different first positioning holes 221.
[0048] Working principle explanation:
[0049] During use, the user places both feet on the two sets of pedal assemblies 2, which drive the two sets of pedal assemblies 2 to alternately tilt and slide up and down along the two guide frames 14. When one set of pedal assembly 2 descends, the damper generates a damping force that drives the set of pedal assembly 2 to tilt upward and slide back to its original position, thereby assisting the user in simulating the mountain climbing action. The damping force generated by the damper during the downward movement of the pedal assembly 2 can play a certain buffering role, thereby reducing the impact on the knees and improving the user experience.
[0050] This utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned optional embodiments. Under the premise of non-contradiction, the various solutions can be combined arbitrarily. Anyone can derive other forms of products under the guidance of this utility model. However, no matter what changes are made in their shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
