[0002] In the field of fitness equipment, robotic arms are a key component of many devices used to assist users in various strength training and exercises. However, existing fitness equipment robotic arms generally suffer from a significant drawback: the lack of effective force-relieving and protective devices. This problem is particularly pronounced when users adjust the height of the robotic arm, causing considerable inconvenience and potential safety hazards.

[0003] Specifically, when users need to adjust the height of the robotic arm to suit different training needs or individual heights, since the robotic arm usually has a certain weight, if there is a lack of corresponding unloading basis during height adjustment, that is, if the overall force of the fitness equipment is not unloaded, the robotic arm may accelerate downward due to excessive weight. In this case, not only will the robotic arm collide violently with the support structure or other components, resulting in noise and equipment damage, but more seriously, it may also cause injury to the user's body, thus posing a certain safety hazard.

[0027] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The circuit board assembly 2 is disposed between the pin assembly 1 and the cover 3. The circuit board assembly 2 includes a circuit board 21, a battery compartment 22, and a battery 23. The battery 23 is disposed on a first side of the circuit board 21 through the battery compartment 22. A touch sensing area 211 is provided on a second side of the circuit board 21. The pin assembly 1 is disposed on the second side of the circuit board 21, and a touch part 11 is provided on the side of the pin assembly 1 away from the cover 3. The position of the touch part 11 corresponds to the position of the touch sensing area 211.

[0029] In this embodiment, the latch assembly 1 refers to a movable fixing assembly including the latch 14; the circuit board assembly 2 refers to a structural assembly including a PCB circuit board (i.e., circuit board 21); the cover 3 refers to the cover of the latch handle 12, which, since it is located on the outside of the battery 23, can also be called a battery cover. The touch sensing area 211 refers to the touch sensing area on the back of the circuit board 21, and its position corresponds to the touch part 11 of the latch assembly 1. The touch part 11 refers to the position where the user's hand is gripping the device, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown.

[0030] In actual use, such as Figures 1 to 3 ,as well as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, when a user needs to adjust the height of the robotic arm 4, their finger will touch the touch part 11, which will trigger the touch sensing through the touch sensing area 211 and its circuit board 21. This touch sensing can serve as a force-relieving trigger signal for the fitness equipment, that is, it can be used as a trigger signal for unloading the force of the entire machine, preventing the robotic arm 4 from accelerating downwards due to excessive weight when the user adjusts it. As for the implementation of the touch sensing, existing technology can be used; therefore, this embodiment will not describe the principle and implementation process of the touch sensing in detail. In summary, this embodiment provides a hardware foundation for force-relieving protection of fitness equipment. The overall structure is simple and efficient, effectively improving the ease of use and safety performance of the fitness equipment.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the touch sensing area 211 in this embodiment is located at the upper and lower ends of the second side of the circuit board 21. Correspondingly, the touch part 11 is also located at the upper and lower ends of the inner side of the pin assembly 1. In actual use, when the user wants to adjust the height of the robotic arm 4, the finger will first touch the touch part 11 at the upper and lower ends, which will trigger the touch sensing.

The retaining ring 141 is stopped in the pin mounting base 13, and the movable end 142 passes through the through hole 131, thereby enabling the pin 14 to move relative to the pin mounting base 13 and be limited by the retaining ring 141.

[0034] Preferred, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, both the through hole 131 and the movable end 142 are provided with a limiting plane 15. That is, the movable end 142 of the pin 14 is not a cylindrical structure, but is provided with a limiting plane 15, which can limit and guide the movement of the pin 14.

More specifically, the spring 122 is sleeved between the retaining ring 141 of the pin mounting base 13 and the pin 14, thereby ensuring that the pin 14 moves towards the cover 3 as the pin handle 12 is pulled outward. Furthermore, after the user releases the handle, the spring 122 provides elastic force to cause the pin 14 to automatically spring back.

[0036] Preferred, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the pin mounting cavity 121 in this embodiment is also provided with a guide rail 123. The pin mounting seat 13 is slidably connected to the pin mounting cavity 121 through the guide rail 123, so as to provide a guide rail movement basis between the pin handle 12 and the pin mounting seat 13 and realize stable relative movement.

[0037] Preferred, such as Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the pin 14 near the pin handle 12 has a first fixing hole 143, as... Figure 7 As shown, a second fixing hole 124 is provided in the pin mounting cavity 121, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the pin handle 12 passes through the second fixing hole 124 and the first fixing hole 143 via the fixing member 16 and is fixedly connected to the pin 14, thereby reliably realizing the fixing function between the pin handle 12 and the pin 14.

[0038] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment also provides a robotic arm for fitness equipment, including the force-relieving protection device described above, and comprising a robotic arm 4 and a robotic arm fixing assembly 5.
