[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0015] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a pedal transmission mechanism for a stair climber, including a frame 1; the frame 1 is provided with a horizontal beam 2 and a vertical beam 3, which form the basic division of the internal installation space; the left and right sides of the vertical beam 3 and the left and right side walls of the inner cavity of the frame 1 are respectively provided with sliding grooves 4; Two lifting frames 5 are slidably mounted inside the slide grooves 4 on the frame 1 and the vertical beam 3 respectively via pulleys 6. Foot pedals are installed on the lifting frames 5. The pulleys 6 cooperate with the slide grooves 4 to achieve smooth sliding along the frame 1 and the vertical beam 3. Appropriate foot pedals can be installed according to actual needs for people to step on. Two resistance adjustment components 7 are installed on the back of the vertical beam 3; they are used to adjust the moving resistance of the two lifting frames 5 to adapt to different stair climbing loads, slopes and other working conditions. Tension adjustment component 8 is located inside frame 1; Two rollers, number 9, are respectively installed at the bottom of the crossbeam 2; The multi-wedge belt 10 passes around two rollers 9, tension adjustment component 8 and two resistance adjustment components 7 in sequence to form a closed transmission loop. The two lifting frames 5 are fixed to the multi-wedge belt 10 by clamps 11. This connection method allows the multi-wedge belt 10 to move synchronously and drive the two lifting frames 5 in linkage. When one of the lifting frames 5 is moved by an external force, such as the force generated by a person stepping on it, the multi-wedge belt 10 transmits power to make the other lifting frame 5 make a corresponding reverse movement, realizing alternating lifting and lowering actions, simulating the process of alternating lifting and stepping when climbing stairs, ensuring the continuity of climbing actions. The multi-ribbed belt 10 is used to link the two rollers 9, the tension adjustment component 8, the two resistance adjustment components 7, and the two lifting frames 5. When the two lifting frames 5 rotate, they will drive the resistance adjustment component 7 to rotate. The resistance adjustment component 7 is used to adjust the moving resistance of the two lifting frames 5. The tension adjustment component 8 is used to adjust the tension of the multi-ribbed belt 10. The rollers 9 change the transmission direction of the multi-ribbed belt 10 so that the multi-ribbed belt 10 can adapt to the internal space layout of the frame 1 and rationally plan the transmission path.

[0016] Specifically, refer to Figure 2-3 The resistance adjustment component 7 includes a mounting rod 71, rollers 72, a resistance plate 73, and a magnetic adjuster 74. The mounting rod 71 provides mounting support for rollers 72, resistance plate 73, etc. The three rollers 72 are located at the top of the mounting rod 71 to support and guide the multi-wedge belt 10, ensuring the stability of the transmission path of the multi-wedge belt 10. The resistance plate 73 is located on the uppermost roller 72 and rotates synchronously with the roller 72. Its rotational resistance can be adjusted by the magnetic adjuster 74.

[0017] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 The tension adjustment component 8 includes two adjusting screws 81, a stop block 82, a spring 83, and a roller 84. The adjusting screws 81 are threaded through the bottom of the frame 1. By rotating the adjusting screws 81, their extension length within the frame 1 can be changed, thereby adjusting the position of the roller 84. The roller 84 is rotatably mounted on the top of the two adjusting screws 81 to support the multi-wedge belt 10 and participate in the transmission. The stop block 82 is located at the bottom of the adjusting screws 81, limiting the adjusting screws 81 from excessively screwing into the frame 1, and providing mounting support for the spring 83. The spring 83 is sleeved on the outer wall of the adjusting screws 81, with its two ends connected to the bottom of the frame 1 and the top of the stop block 82, respectively. On the one hand, it uses its own elasticity to provide continuous tension to the multi-wedge belt 10; on the other hand, it assists in stabilizing the adjustment process when the adjusting screws 81 are manually adjusted, making the tension adjustment smoother.

[0018] Specifically, refer to Figure 5The magnetic force adjuster 74 further refines the resistance adjustment function; the mounting bracket 741 is sleeved on the edge of the resistance plate 73, providing a mounting base for the magnetic force adjustment component; the sliding sleeve 742 is installed on the outer wall of the mounting bracket 741, serving as a guide structure for the sliding of the lifting plate 743; the lifting plate 743 can slide through the sliding sleeve 742, and its position within the sliding sleeve 742 can be fixed by the fixing screw 744, thereby adjusting the relative position and magnetic force intensity between the magnetic plate 747 and the resistance plate 73; two limit rods 745 can slide through the mounting bracket 741, limiting the sliding of the lifting plate 743. To ensure stable movement, a spring 746 is fitted onto the outer wall of the limit rod 745, with its two ends connected to the lifting plate 743 and the mounting bracket 741 respectively. This spring can assist the lifting plate 743 in resetting or provide elastic buffering when the fixing screw 744 is loosened. Three magnetic plates 747 are respectively set on the top of the two limit rods 745 and inside the mounting bracket 741. Utilizing the principle of magnetic repulsion and attraction between like poles, the magnetic resistance experienced by the resistance plate 73 when rotating is adjusted by changing the distance between the magnetic plate 747 and the resistance plate 73 and the magnitude of the magnetic force, ultimately achieving precise adjustment of the moving resistance of the lifting frame 5.

[0019] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 The bottom wall of the inner cavity of the slide 4 is provided with shock-absorbing blocks 12. The shock-absorbing blocks 12 have a honeycomb structure. Utilizing the good buffering and energy absorption characteristics of the honeycomb structure, when the lifting frame 5 moves to the bottom of the slide 4, it can effectively absorb the impact force generated by the falling of the lifting frame 5, reduce equipment vibration, protect the lifting frame 5, pulleys 6 and other components, extend their service life, and at the same time improve the stability and comfort of the stair climber during operation.

[0020] Specifically, refer to Figure 1-4 The wheel frames on roller 1 (9), roller 2 (72), and roller 3 (84) are respectively provided with guide grooves for the wheels to slide out. The guide grooves are L-shaped and facilitate the sliding of the rolling bodies of rollers 1, 2, and 3 out of the wheel frame. When the wheels are worn or malfunction, maintenance personnel can quickly remove the wheels from the guide grooves for replacement and maintenance, which greatly improves the convenience of equipment maintenance and reduces maintenance difficulty and time costs.

[0021] Working principle When a user steps on the foot pedal of one of the lifting frames 5, the lifting frame 5 is subjected to a downward force and slides down along the slide groove 4, driving the multi-wedge belt 10 to move through the clamping block 11. The multi-wedge belt 10 is driven in a closed loop. Since it is also connected to the other lifting frame 5 through the clamping block 11, it will synchronously drive the other lifting frame 5 to slide up along the slide groove 4, realizing the alternating lifting and lowering action of the two lifting frames 5, simulating the process of alternating lifting and stepping on the feet when climbing stairs. During this process, the roller 1 9, the roller 2 72 of the resistance adjustment component 7, and the roller 3 84 of the tension adjustment component 8 rotate with the movement of the multi-wedge belt 10, changing the transmission direction and assisting the transmission. When the lifting frame 5 drives the multi-wedge belt 10, the resistance plate 73 in the resistance adjustment component 7 rotates with the roller 72. The magnetic force adjuster 74 can change the magnetic resistance when the resistance plate 73 rotates by adjusting the relative position and magnetic force of the magnetic plate 747 and the resistance plate 73. For example, when it is necessary to increase the resistance, the position of the lifting plate 743 can be adjusted by fixing the screw 744 to make the magnetic plate 747 closer to the resistance plate 73, thereby increasing the magnetic force. The resistance plate 73 will be more obstructed from rotating, which will increase the transmission resistance of the multi-wedge belt 10, and ultimately increase the movement resistance of the lifting frame 5. Conversely, reducing the magnetic force distance and intensity can reduce the movement resistance of the lifting frame 5, so as to simulate different intensities of stair climbing resistance for training and other scenarios. The tension adjusting component 8 achieves tension adjustment of the multi-ribbed belt 10 through the elastic force of spring 83 and the manual adjustment of adjusting screw 81. During normal operation, the elastic force of spring 83 continuously acts on stop block 82, which is transmitted to roller 84 through adjusting screw 81, so that roller 84 applies tension to multi-ribbed belt 10, ensuring that multi-ribbed belt 10 is in a proper tension state. If manual precise adjustment is required, adjusting screw 81 can be rotated to change its extension length in frame 1, thereby adjusting the position of roller 84, realizing active adjustment of the tension of multi-ribbed belt 10, and keeping it in a tight state.

[0022] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
