Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of treadmills, and more particularly to a treadmill with ambient lighting. Background Technology

[0002] As people pay more attention to health, treadmills are becoming increasingly popular as fitness equipment that can be used at home.

[0003] Chinese Patent Application No. 201821213856.7 discloses an intelligent speed-controlled electric treadmill, including a front support base, a rear support base, a running board disposed on the rear support base, a running belt wound around the running board, a transmission roller assembly for rotating the running belt, and a motor. It also includes a controller, the input end of which is connected to a signal receiver and a strain gauge pressure sensor, and the output end of which is connected to a motor and a color-changing light strip. The color-changing light strip is disposed on the rear support base. The strain gauge pressure sensor is used to detect the current change caused by the foot stepping on the running belt. The controller controls the motor to accelerate or decelerate and controls the color-changing light strip to switch colors according to the current change.

[0004] Chinese patent application number 202321287618.1 discloses a treadmill equipped with a photoelectric heart rate detection device, including an instrument controller, a photoelectric heart rate monitoring module, a handrail light-transmitting panel, an LED light strip, and handrail tubes, with the LED light strip pasted on the back of the handrail light-transmitting panel.

[0005] As can be seen from the two solutions above, installing ambient light strips on treadmills is a common design. The ambient light strips can usually be directly glued to the treadmill for fixation, and then connected to the controller through circuitry.

[0006] However, during long-term use, the adhesive in a treadmill will age and its stickiness will decrease. Also, the treadmill vibrates a lot during use, which can easily cause the ambient light strip to fall off the treadmill. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention addresses the drawback of existing ambient light strips attached to treadmills being prone to detachment by providing an ambient light treadmill that prevents accidental detachment of the ambient light strip.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method: A treadmill with ambient lighting includes a support base, a running board mounted on the support base, and a running belt wound around the running board. Protective plates are provided on both sides of the running belt on the support base, and ambient lighting strips are attached to the protective plates. A double protective structure is provided between the ambient lighting strips and the protective plates to prevent the ambient lighting strips from falling off.

[0009] Using the above solution, the ambient light strip is fixed to the protective plate, and by setting up a double protective structure, the ambient light strip is prevented from accidentally falling off due to reduced adhesion and vibration of the treadmill.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the dual protective structure includes receiving grooves for accommodating ambient light strips recessed on opposite sides of the two protective plates, a mounting plate for attaching the ambient light strips fixedly disposed in the receiving grooves, and a clamping structure on the mounting plate for preventing the ambient light strips from detaching from the mounting plate.

[0011] Using the above solution, the ambient light strip is placed within the receiving groove. Compared to placing it directly on the support base, this reduces the probability of the ambient light strip being accidentally stepped on, extending its lifespan. A clamping structure, in conjunction with the mounting plate, secures the ambient light strip to the mounting plate, preventing accidental detachment.

[0012] Preferably, the clamping structure includes clips that are elastically telescopically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate to guide the ambient light strip, which can be separated from each other to expose the mounting plate for easy pasting of the ambient light strip, and which move closer together to cooperate with the mounting plate to clamp the ambient light strip after the ambient light strip is pasted on the mounting plate.

[0013] Preferably, the buckle includes a vertical section parallel to the mounting plate and a horizontal section perpendicular to the vertical section. A tension spring is provided between the horizontal section and the mounting plate along the buckle's extension direction to drive the buckles to move closer together and clamp the ambient light strip under normal conditions.

[0014] Using the above solution, the clips are located on the top and bottom sides of the ambient light strip. External force is applied to the two clips to move them apart, exposing the entire mounting plate, allowing the ambient light strip to be pasted onto the mounting plate without obstruction. After the ambient light strip is pasted and fixed, the external force is removed, and the two clips move closer together under the action of the tension spring, so that the vertical section and the mounting plate cooperate to clamp the ambient light strip.

[0015] Preferably, the mounting plate is equipped with a limiting rod that is normally inserted into the mounting plate and can be removed and placed between the horizontal section and the mounting plate to restrict the buckles from getting closer to each other when the buckles are far apart and exposed on the mounting plate.

[0016] Using the above method, to ensure the two clips don't move close together during installation of the ambient light strip, additional personnel are needed to continuously apply external force to the clips. This increases the number of installation workers required and raises costs. Therefore, a limiting rod is installed. After applying external force to the clips to move them away from the mounting plate, the limiting rod is removed and placed between the mounting plate and the horizontal section to restrict the clips from moving closer to the mounting plate before the ambient light strip is installed. After the ambient light strip is installed, the limiting rod is removed and directly inserted into the mounting plate, significantly reducing the possibility of the limiting rod being lost.

[0017] Preferably, an adjustable structure is provided between the vertical section and the mounting plate to clamp ambient light strips of different thicknesses between them.

[0018] Using the above solution, different ambient light strips have different thicknesses. Therefore, an adjustment structure is set up so that the buckle and the mounting plate can clamp ambient light strips of different thicknesses, increasing adaptability.

[0019] Preferably, the adjustment structure includes an abutment block that elastically extends and retracts along the direction of approaching or moving away from the mounting plate on the side of the vertical section near the mounting plate, and the side of the abutment block near the mounting plate has an outwardly convex arc shape.

[0020] Preferably, the vertical section is recessed on the side near the mounting plate to guide the linear movement of the abutment block. A spring is provided between the sliding groove and the abutment block along the moving direction of the abutment block to drive the abutment block to partially extend out of the sliding groove under normal conditions.

[0021] Using the above solution, when the clips approach each other, the curved surface of the ambient light strip and the abutment block engages in a sliding and pressing action, causing the abutment block to elastically retract. The compression spring deforms, generating a restoring force. When the clips and mounting plate clamp the ambient light strip, the abutment block elastically abuts against the ambient light strip, ensuring it is securely clamped to the mounting plate. Furthermore, the greater the thickness of the ambient light strip, the greater the clamping force of the abutment block, resulting in a higher degree of clamping.

[0022] This utility model, by adopting the above technical solution, has significant technical effects: external force is applied to the two buckles, driving them away from each other to expose the complete mounting plate; a limiting rod is inserted to restrict the two buckles from approaching each other; after the ambient light strip is pasted on the mounting plate, the limiting rod is removed, and the two buckles approach each other under the action of the tension spring, so that the vertical section and the mounting plate cooperate to clamp the ambient light strip. Furthermore, during the process of the two buckles approaching each other, the ambient light strip and the abutment block are squeezed and slid together, causing the abutment block to elastically retract and elastically abut against the ambient light strip under the action of the spring, thus clamping the ambient light strip. The buckles and abutment block can clamp ambient light strips of different thicknesses onto the mounting plate, preventing the ambient light strip from accidentally falling off due to reduced adhesion or vibration from the treadmill.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Example A treadmill with ambient lighting, as shown in the reference. Figures 1 to 6 The treadmill includes a support base 1 and a running board 2 mounted on the support base 1. Drive rollers are rotatably mounted on both ends of the running board 2 on the support base 1. The treadmill also includes a running belt 3, which is wound around both the running board 2 and the two drive rollers. The rotation of the drive rollers is controlled by a motor. This structure is a standard configuration for a treadmill, and this embodiment does not modify it; therefore, it will not be described in detail further.

[0027] A protective plate 4 is provided on each side of the running belt 3 on the support base 1. A receiving groove 5 is recessed on the opposite side of each protective plate 4. An mounting plate 6 is fixedly installed within each receiving groove 5. An ambient light strip 7 is inserted into the receiving groove 5 and attached to the mounting plate 6. A controller is installed inside the treadmill, and the controller is electrically connected to both the motor and the ambient light strip 7. The controller, motor, and the connection, control methods, and programs between the controller, motor, and ambient light strip 7 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0028] On the mounting plate 6, clips 8 are elastically telescopically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the ambient light strip 7. The two clips 8 can be separated from each other, exposing the entire mounting plate 6 for easy pasting of the ambient light strip 7. After the ambient light strip 7 is pasted on the mounting plate 6, the two clips 8 move closer together to cooperate with the mounting plate 6 to clamp the ambient light strip 7. The clips 8 include a vertical section 801 parallel to the mounting plate 6 and a horizontal section 802 perpendicular to the vertical section 801. The horizontal sections 802 of the two clips 8 are respectively located at opposite ends of the two vertical sections 801, and the ends of the two horizontal sections 802 away from the vertical sections 801 are located on the upper and lower sides of the mounting plate 6. A tension spring 9 is arranged between the ends of the horizontal sections 802 away from the vertical sections 801 and the mounting plate 6 along the telescopic direction of the clips 8. The mounting plate 6 has a recessed groove 10 to accommodate the tension spring 9. When the tension spring 9 is in its initial state, the horizontal section 802 is in contact with the mounting plate 6, so that there is a gap between the vertical section 801 and the mounting plate 6 to clamp the ambient light strip 7. Several sets of tension springs 9 and grooves 10 are provided at intervals along the length of the ambient light strip 7 between the buckle 8 and the mounting plate 6.

[0029] A guide structure is provided between the mounting plate 6 and the horizontal section 802 to ensure the linear movement of the latch 8. The guide structure includes a guide post protruding from the horizontal section 802 and a guide groove recessed on the mounting plate 6 for the linear movement of the guide post. The guide post and guide groove are prior art and are not shown in the figure, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0030] A limiting rod 14 is fitted onto the mounting plate 6. Under normal conditions, the limiting rod 14 is inserted into the mounting plate 6, and the mounting plate 6 has a recessed slot for the limiting rod 14 to be inserted. When the two latches 8 are far apart and exposed on the mounting plate 6, the limiting rod 14 can be removed and placed between the horizontal section 802 and the mounting plate 6 to prevent the latches 8 from getting closer to each other.

[0031] A retaining block 11 is elastically extendable on the side of the vertical section 801 near the mounting plate 6, moving towards or away from the mounting plate 6. The side of the retaining block 11 near the mounting plate 6 has an outwardly convex arc shape. A sliding groove 12 is recessed on the side of the vertical section 801 near the mounting plate 6 to guide the retaining block 11 to move linearly. A spring 13 is provided between the bottom of the sliding groove 12 and the retaining block 11 along the moving direction of the retaining block 11, which normally drives the retaining block 11 to partially extend out of the sliding groove 12. The elastic coefficient of the tension spring 9 is much greater than that of the spring 13, ensuring that when the two buckles 8 are close to each other, the retaining block 11 can be squeezed and slid against the ambient light strip 7 and automatically elastically retract. Several sets of retaining blocks 11, sliding grooves 12, and springs 13 are arranged at intervals along the length of the ambient light strip 7 on the vertical section 801.

[0032] An external force is applied to the two clips 8 to drive them away from each other, exposing the complete mounting plate 6. A limiting rod 14 is placed between the horizontal section 802 and the mounting plate 6 to restrict the two clips 8 from getting close to each other. After the ambient light strip 7 is pasted on the mounting plate 6, the limiting rod 14 is removed. Under the action of the tension spring 9, the two clips 8 get close to each other, so that the vertical section 801 and the mounting plate 6 cooperate to clamp the ambient light strip 7. During the process of the two clips 8 getting close to each other, the ambient light strip 7 and the abutment block 11 are squeezed and slid together to drive the abutment block 11 to elastically retract. Under the action of the spring 13, the abutment block 11 elastically abuts against the ambient light strip 7 to clamp the ambient light strip 7 onto the mounting plate 6.
