Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a folding pedal structure, and more particularly to a folding pedal slow-descent mechanism for fitness equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of the national fitness concept, fitness equipment is increasingly used in homes, gyms, and rehabilitation institutions. Among them, fitness equipment equipped with foldable pedals is particularly popular due to its ease of storage and versatility. However, the foldable pedal structure of existing fitness equipment generally adopts a "no slow-descent, relying on its own weight" design. That is, the pedal is directly connected to the frame via a simple pivot, and is lifted by hand when folding and unfolded by gravity. This existing foldable pedal structure, lacking damping or cushioning devices, results in a rapid transition from the folded to the unfolded state, causing significant impact and noise. It may even pinch the user's instep, or damage the equipment or the ground, thus affecting the product's safety and user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0011] A further improvement of this utility model is that the pedal connecting assembly includes a pedal connecting arm, a rotating shaft, and a bearing; the rotating connector is connected to the rotating shaft via the bearing; and the rotating shaft is connected to the pedal via the pedal connecting arm.

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a folding pedal slow-descent mechanism for fitness equipment, including: a mounting base 1, a damping structure component 2, and a pedal connecting component 3. The first end of the damping structure component 2 is connected to the mounting base 1, and the second end of the damping structure component 2 is connected to the pedal 4 of the fitness equipment through the pedal connecting component 3. The pedal 4 is connected to the mounting base 1 through the pedal connecting component 3.

[0020] In this embodiment, the mounting base 1 refers to the mounting base for fitness equipment. The damping structure component 2 refers to a structural component used to provide damping force during the deployment of the pedal 4. The pedal connecting component 3 refers to a structural component used to connect the pedal 4 to the mounting base 1.

[0021] This embodiment preferably incorporates a damping structure component 2 that matches the pedal connection assembly 3. The first end of the damping structure component 2 is connected to the mounting base 1, and the second end of the damping structure component 2 is connected to the pedal 4 of the fitness equipment via the pedal connection assembly 3. The pedal 4 of the fitness equipment refers to the folding pedal of the fitness equipment. This embodiment provides a stable and reliable base for the pedal 4 to slowly descend during the transition from a folded to an unfolded state. The damping structure component 2, connected to both the mounting base 1 and the pedal connection assembly 3, avoids problems caused by the pedal 4 directly unfolding under gravity. The overall structure of this embodiment is simple and easy to implement, effectively improving the product's safety performance and user experience.

[0022] In this embodiment, the folded state refers to the storage state when the pedal 4 is folded and lifted into the frame structure of the fitness equipment, such as... Figure 7 As shown. The "unfolded state" refers to the state where the pedal 4 is unfolded and lowered for user use, as shown. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown. An intermediate state refers to the state corresponding to the transition between the folded and unfolded states, such as... Figure 6 As shown.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the pedal connecting assembly 3 in this embodiment is disposed on both sides of the mounting base 1. The pedal connecting assemblies 3 on both sides make the installation of the pedal 4 more stable and reliable. Correspondingly, the damping structure assembly 2 in this embodiment includes a first damping structure 21 and a second damping structure 22. The first damping structure 21 and the second damping structure 22 are respectively disposed on the two inner sides of the mounting base 1 to match the pedal connecting assemblies 3 on both sides. In this embodiment, the first damping structure 21 and the second damping structure 22 are preferably hydraulic dampers or pneumatic dampers. The hydraulic dampers or pneumatic dampers can be existing dampers, therefore, they will not be described further in this embodiment.

[0024] Preferred, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, this embodiment also includes a lifting mounting component 5. The first end of the damping structure component 2 is disposed on the inner side of the mounting base 1 via the lifting mounting component 5. The function of the lifting mounting component 5 is to raise the mounting position of the first end of the damping structure component 2. It can be a sheet metal part or other structure, so that the axis of the damping structure component 2 is basically parallel to the side wall of the mounting base 1 and the pedal connecting arm 31, ensuring that the extension and retraction direction of the damping structure component 2 corresponds to the rotation direction of the pedal 4.

[0025] Preferred, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, this embodiment also includes a rotating connector 6. The second end of the damping structure component 2 is connected to the pedal connection component 3 through the rotating connector 6. The second end of the damping structure component 2 is rotatably connected to the rotating connector 6. The rotating connector 6 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 32 of the pedal connection component 3, thereby causing the second end of the damping structure component 2 to rotate with the rotation of the pedal 4.

[0026] Preferably, in this embodiment, the rotating connector 6 is coaxially connected to the pedal connecting assembly 3. The first end of the rotating connector 6 is connected to the second end of the damping structure assembly 2. The second end of the rotating connector 6 is a limiting end 61. A limiting block 7 is provided at the bottom of the mounting base 1. The position of the limiting block 7 corresponds to the position of the limiting end 61 to achieve the rotation limiting function of the rotating connector 6 and avoid damage to the device due to excessive rotation angle.

[0027] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the pedal connecting assembly 3 in this embodiment includes a pedal connecting arm 31, a rotating shaft 32, and a bearing 33. The rotating connector 6 is connected to the rotating shaft 32 through the bearing 33. The rotating shaft 32 is connected to the pedal 4 through the pedal connecting arm 31, so that the pedal 4 can be connected to the mounting base 1 and rotate relative to the mounting base 1 to achieve folding.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting base 1 in this embodiment also includes side covers 11, which are disposed on the two outer sides of the mounting base 1, referring to the shell covers on both sides of the mounting base 1. The rotating shaft 32 is disposed between the mounting base 1 and its side covers 11. Correspondingly, the rotating connector 6 in this embodiment is disposed on the inner side of the mounting base 1. That is, the rotating connector 6 rotates with the rotation of the rotating shaft 32. However, in these two structures, the rotating shaft 32 is disposed between the mounting base 1 and its side covers 11 (i.e., on the outer side of the mounting base 1), and the rotating connector 6 is disposed on the inner side of the mounting base 1. This effectively utilizes the inner and outer sides of the mounting base 1, avoiding obstruction or interference to its movement path. The overall structure is more reasonable and efficient, effectively improving the space utilization rate of the mounting base 1.

[0029] The specific embodiments described above are preferred embodiments of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the specific scope of this utility model. The scope of this utility model includes, but is not limited to, these specific embodiments. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape and structure of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.
