Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment technology, and in particular to a stair climber with high-intensity foot pedal damping effect. Background Technology
[0002] A stair climber, also known as a climbing machine or stair machine, is a common fitness device used to simulate the motion of climbing stairs. It is often used in home environments to help users perform aerobic exercise and strength training. The stair climber has two pedals; users place one foot on each pedal and alternately move up and down, effectively exercising leg muscles, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, calf muscles, and gluteal muscles, and helping to improve cardiovascular function.
[0003] A steel cable is typically installed between the two pedals of a stair climber. This cable loops around a fixed pulley on the main frame and primarily assists the user's legs in propelling the pedals up and down alternately. However, relying solely on the steel cable for traction can result in a strong impact when the pedals reach the bottom or top. To improve the stability and balance of the stair climber during use, current models incorporate damping devices on the pedals to provide additional resistance. For example, Chinese Utility Model Patent CN202421473406.7 discloses a stair climber with an elastic rope. In this design, at least one elastic rope is installed between the two pedal assemblies. As the user's feet press on the two pedals and they slide up and down alternately, the elastic rope applies resistance, reducing the impact force on the pedals when they reach the bottom or top. However, in the above solution, the elastic rope is installed by setting rope connectors at both ends of the elastic rope and setting slots on the pedal assembly. The rope connectors are then engaged in the slots. The elastic rope remains straight, and the stress between the rope connectors and the slots is relatively high. After prolonged use, the rope connectors are prone to wear and even breakage, affecting the lifespan. Alternatively, some mountaineering machines on the market use metal springs to replace the elastic rope. Multiple metal springs are arranged parallel to each other, and the pedal assembly has screws for connecting the ends of the metal springs. This connection is also prone to breakage, and during use, the metal springs can easily make a clanging sound, affecting the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0007] At least one elastic rope is wrapped around the winding wheel and its two ends are detachably installed on the fixed position. The winding wheel divides the elastic rope into a middle section and a side section. The middle section and the side section form an angle with each other, and the side section extends along the first direction.
[0008] Several alternative methods are provided below, but they are not intended as additional limitations on the overall solution above. They are merely further additions or optimizations.

Each folding adjustment component is provided with a strip-shaped groove, and the edge of the strip-shaped groove is provided with at least one notch. The lower bracket is provided with a locking pin that engages with the notch.
[0017] More preferably, a fixed bracket is installed on the upper beam.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. By setting a mounting bracket on the side of the pedal assembly, and setting a rope wheel and a fixing position at the upper and lower ends of the mounting bracket respectively, when the elastic rope is installed between the two mounting brackets, the elastic rope will bend after passing around the rope wheel, thus concentrating the stress point during use at the rope wheel and the fixing position. The two share the tension generated by the elastic rope, and the tension acting on the fixing position is relatively small, making it less likely for the elastic rope and the fixing position to break.
[0020] 2. During use, the resistance is adjustable. Users can disassemble and install different numbers of elastic ropes as needed. Different numbers of elastic ropes can be set between the two mounting brackets. The more ropes there are, the greater the resistance. Adjustment is convenient.
[0021] 3. During use, the collision between the elastic ropes is virtually silent, resulting in a good exercise experience. Attached Figure Description

[0035] Detailed implementation plan: See below Figures 1-7 This utility model is a climbing machine with high-strength foot pedal damping effect, including an interconnected upright frame 1 and a front support frame 2. The front support frame 2 includes two sliding rods 21 arranged opposite each other, with foot pedal assemblies 3 slidably mounted on the sliding rods 21. A pull rope assembly 42 is mounted on the front support frame 2, and the pull rope assembly 42 includes a fixed pulley 4133 fixed on the front support frame 2, and a pull rope 42 passing around the fixed pulley 4133. The two ends of the pull rope 42 are respectively connected to the two foot pedal assemblies 3. The climbing machine also includes:
[0036] Mounting bracket 5 is fixed to the side of pedal assembly 3. The extension direction of mounting bracket 5 is set as the first direction. Mounting bracket 5 is provided with several fixing positions and several rope wheels 51 at both ends along the first direction.
[0037] At least one elastic rope 6 is wrapped around a rope wheel 51, and both ends are detachably installed in fixed positions. The rope wheel 51 divides the elastic rope 6 into a middle section and a side section, which form an angle with each other, and the side section extends along a first direction.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As can be seen, several fixed positions and several rope wheels 51 located on the same mounting bracket 5 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, while the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0039] In addition, please see Figure 4 To facilitate the installation of the elastic rope 6, in this embodiment, the mounting bracket 5 is fixed on one side of the two sliding seats 31 that are close to each other, and the rope wheel 51 is set above the fixed position.
[0040] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4As can be seen, in this embodiment, the foot pedal assembly 3 includes a sliding seat 31 and a foot pedal 32 connected to each other. The sliding seat 31 is provided with two opposing pulleys 33 for slidingly connecting with the slide rod 21. The mounting bracket 5 is fixed on the sliding seat 31. Here, the arrangement of the pulleys 33 on the sliding seat 31 is prior art, so it will only be briefly described.
[0041] Note that in this embodiment, the extension direction of the slide rail is the first direction, or tends to be parallel to the first direction. In this way, when the mounting bracket 5 is installed on the slide rail, the overall structure is more aesthetically pleasing. After the elastic rope 6 is installed between the two mounting brackets 5, the rope wheel 51 divides the elastic rope 6 into a middle section and a side section. The side section extends along the first direction. The force of the elastic rope 6 acting on the rope wheel 51 will be transmitted to the foot pedal assembly 3 through the mounting bracket 5, thereby increasing the squeezing force between the pulley 33 and the slide rod 21. During the sliding of the pulley 33 along the slide rod 21, the resistance between the pulley 33 and the slide rod 21 will increase.
[0042] In addition, please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As can be seen, in this embodiment, the fixed position is the locking block 52, and the end of the elastic rope 6 is provided with a sleeve block 61, and the sleeve block 61 is provided with a locking hole for the locking block 52 to be sleeved.
[0043] Here, the locking block 52 is arranged at an angle relative to the mounting bracket 5. When it is necessary to install the elastic rope 6 between two mounting brackets 5, the elastic rope 6 first needs to be wrapped around the rope wheel 51 of one of the mounting brackets 5, so that the connecting block 61 at one end is sleeved on the locking block 52 through the locking hole. Then, the elastic rope 6 is wrapped around the rope wheel 51 of the other mounting bracket 5, and by stretching the elastic rope 6, the connecting block 61 at the other end is sleeved on the locking block 52 on the other mounting bracket 5 through the locking hole, thus completing the installation of a single elastic rope 6.
[0044] Note that when stretching the elastic rope 6, since the elastic rope 6 is made of elastic material and one end of the elastic rope 6 is already attached to the locking block 52, stretching the elastic rope 6 that has passed around the rope wheel 51 will not cause the elastic rope 6 to detach from the rope wheel 51.
[0045] In this embodiment, by setting up the mounting bracket 5 and setting the rope winding wheel 51 on the mounting bracket 5, the stress points during use are concentrated at the rope winding wheel 51 and the fixed position. The two share the tension generated by the elastic rope 6, and the tension acting on the fixed position is relatively small, so the elastic rope 6 and the fixed position are not easy to break.
[0046] Furthermore, the resistance is adjustable during use, and users can disassemble and install different numbers of elastic ropes 6 as needed. Different numbers of elastic ropes 6 can be set between the two mounting brackets 5. The more ropes 6 there are, the greater the resistance, and the fewer ropes 6 there are, the smaller the resistance (please refer to the above for the specific principle).
[0047] Next, please refer to Figure 2 As can be seen, in this embodiment, the front support frame 2 also includes an upper beam rod 23 and a cross brace rod 22. The cross brace rod 22 is located at the lower end of the two slide rods 21, and the upper beam rod 23 is located between the two slide rods 21 and is arranged at the upper position of the slide rods 21. There are two fixed pulleys 4133, both of which are installed on the upper beam rod 23.
[0048] In this embodiment, the two ends of the pull rope 42 are fixed to two sliding seats 31 respectively. By setting two fixed pulleys 4133 on the upper beam 23, when the pull rope 42 passes around the two rope winding wheels 51 in sequence, the force distribution or balance can be better achieved, forming a labor-saving system. The load is distributed to multiple rope segments, reducing the required pulling force. When using it, the user steps on the two pedals with both feet respectively, and with the pull rope 42 assembly 4, the two pedals can be driven to move up and down alternately, thereby effectively exercising the leg muscles.
[0049] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 6 As can be seen, the front support frame 2 is rotatably mounted on the upright frame 1, and a folding adjustment piece 7 is provided between the front support frame 2 and the upright frame 1 to cooperate in limiting the relative position of the front support frame 2 and the upright frame 1.
[0050] Then, in this embodiment, there are two folding adjustment parts 7, which are arranged opposite each other on the left and right. One end of the folding adjustment part 7 is rotatably connected to the slide rod 21. The folding adjustment part 7 is provided with a strip-shaped slot 71. The upper edge of the strip-shaped slot 71 is provided with at least one notch 72. The lower bracket 11 is provided with a locking pin 111 that engages and enters the notch 72.
[0051] When the climbing machine is not in use, the front support frame 2 needs to be rotated to be substantially coplanar with the upright frame 1, which takes up little space. When the climbing machine needs to be used, the front support frame 2 can be flipped forward relative to the upright frame 1. During this process, the locking pin 111 moves along the strip groove 71 until it is engaged in one of the notches 72, thus restricting the front support frame 2 from continuing to rotate relative to the upright frame 1.
[0052] When the mountaineering machine needs to be folded, a slight push on the folding adjustment piece 7 will disengage the locking pin 111 from the notch 72, at which point the front support frame 2 can be rotated to be substantially coplanar with the upright frame 1.
[0053] Then, please see Figure 1As can be seen, the upright frame 1 includes a lower frame 11 and a handrail frame 12 sleeved on the lower frame 11. An adjusting handwheel 13 is provided between the handrail frame 12 and the lower frame 11 to adjust the lifting height of the handrail frame 12.
[0054] Here, after adjusting the lifting height of the handrail 12, the relative positions of the handrail 12 and the upright 1 can be locked by turning the adjusting handwheel 13.
[0055] More specifically, a fixing bracket 8 is installed on the upper beam 23. The fixing bracket 8 is a prior art device and can be used to mount mobile phones or tablets.
[0056] The above description of a climbing machine with high-strength foot damping effect is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of this utility model using the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
