The resistance mechanism 6 has a stretchable strap 61, and the strap 61 is connected to a handle 62. The seat frame 4 and the resistance mechanism 6 are existing structures, and their specific structures will not be described in detail here. A forward-inclined tilting rod 8 is fixed at the bottom of the seat frame 4, and two second foot pedals 9 are provided at the bottom of the tilting rod 8. The bottom surfaces of the two second foot pedals 9 are higher than the bottom surfaces of the front support 2 and the rear support 3. The upper part of the rear support 3 is provided with two rope wheel mounting parts 10 arranged left and right. Each of the two rope wheel mounting parts 10 is provided with a rotatable rope wheel 11. The upper part of the tilting rod 8 is connected to two first elastic ropes 12 arranged left and right. Each first elastic rope 12 corresponds to a rope wheel 11. One end of the first elastic rope 12 is detachably connected to the tilting rod 8. The other end of the first elastic rope 12 is connected to a handle 13. The first elastic rope 12 passes around the rope wheel 11. A second elastic rope 14 arranged left and right and detachable is provided between the tilting rod 8 and the front support 2.

[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The top left and right sides of the tilting rod 8 are provided with connecting plates 81, which are fixedly connected to the seat cushion frame 4. Each first elastic rope 12 corresponds to one connecting plate 81. One end of the first elastic rope 12 is provided with a first elastic hook 15. The connecting plate 81 is provided with a first hanging hole 82, and the first elastic hook 15 is hooked into the first hanging hole 82. The first elastic hook 15 is an existing hook, which can be hooked into the first hanging hole 82 or removed from the first hanging hole 82. When the first elastic hook 15 is hooked into the first hanging hole 82, the first elastic rope 12 is connected to the connecting plate 81 on the tilting rod 8. When the first elastic hook 15 is removed from the first hanging hole 82, the first elastic rope 12 is disconnected from the connecting plate 81 on the tilting rod 8.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rear support 3 includes a rear bottom rod 16 and a rear support rod 17 connected to the top of the rear bottom rod 16. A horizontal tube 18 is connected to the upper part of the rear support rod 17. Two rotating shafts 19 arranged on the left and right are passed through the horizontal tube 18. The front ends of the two rotating shafts 19 are connected to open angle irons 20. The rope wheel mounting part 10 is hinged in the open angle irons 20.

The rear end of the rear bearing 22 has a washer 23 and a bolt 24, the bolt 24 passing through the washer 23 and connecting to the threaded hole of the rotating shaft 19. A cover 25 covers the outer periphery of the horizontal tube 18, which positions the bearings 22 and prevents them from detaching from the bearing sleeves 21.

[0026] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The rotating shaft 19 can rotate within the bearing 22, allowing the open angle iron 20 to rotate with the rotating shaft 19. The rope wheel mounting component 10 can rotate relative to the open angle iron 20, that is, the open angle iron 20 can rotate in the X-axis direction and the rope wheel mounting component 10 can rotate in the Z-axis direction. When people pull the first elastic rope 12, since the pulling force cannot be guaranteed to be in the same direction, the open angle iron 20 and the rope wheel mounting component 10 can rotate adaptively with the pulling force, ensuring that the rope wheel 11 can rotate flexibly, making it more natural for people to pull the first elastic rope 12.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3The front end of the rear base rod 16 is hinged with two flip-up foot pads 26. Specifically, the front ends of the two foot pads 26 are hinged to the front end of the rear base rod 16 via hinge rods. The two foot pads 26 are arranged left and right, and each foot pad 26 has a cutout 27 that matches the rear base rod 16. When a person stands on the back of the rear support 3 and pulls the two first elastic ropes 12, the two foot pads 26 can be flipped backward and brought into contact with the ground. At this time, the cutouts 27 of the two foot pads 26 can accommodate the rear base rod 16. Then, the person can stand on the two foot pads 26 and pull the two first elastic ropes 12 up and down. When the person is not pulling the two first elastic ropes 12, the two foot pads 26 can be flipped forward to reduce the rowing machine's footprint in the length direction. The bottom of the horizontal tube 18 is provided with a shelf 28 for placing the handles 13. When the two first elastic ropes 12 are not in use, the handles 13 can be placed on the shelf 28.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second elastic rope 14 has two sections. The front bracket 2 includes a front base rod 29 and a front support rod 30 connected to the top of the front base rod 29. The top of the front base rod 29 has two first hanging parts 31 arranged left and right, and each first hanging part 31 has a second hanging hole 32. The lower part of the inclined rod 8 has two second hanging parts 33 arranged left and right, and each second hanging part 33 has a third hanging hole 34. Each second elastic rope 14 corresponds to one second hanging hole 32 and one third hanging hole 34. The front and rear ends of the second elastic rope 14 are respectively connected to a second elastic hook 35 and a third elastic hook 36. The second elastic hook 35 and the third elastic hook 36 are hooked into the second hanging hole 32 and the third hanging hole 34, respectively. The second elastic hook 35 and the third elastic hook 36 are existing hooks, which can be hooked into the second hanging hole 32 and the third hanging hole 34, respectively, or can be removed from the second hanging hole 32 and the third hanging hole 34, respectively.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The front base rod 29 has two rollers 37 arranged on the left and right. When the rowing machine is in use, the two rollers 37 do not contact the ground. When the rowing machine needs to be moved, the rear bracket 3 can be lifted so that the two rollers 37 contact the ground. At this time, the rowing machine can be pushed to move.

[0030] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The seat cushion 5 has two hooks 38 at the bottom front end. When the strap 61 is extended, the handle 62 can be hooked into the two hooks 38. The top of the resistance mechanism 6 has a knob 63 for adjusting the resistance.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4The design principle of this utility model is as follows: This rowing machine can realize multiple exercise modes: First, when the first elastic rope 12 is detached from the tilt bar 8, and the second elastic rope 14 is detached from the tilt bar 8 and the front support 2, this utility model can be used as a rowing machine. Second, when the first elastic rope 12 is connected to the tilt bar 8, and the second elastic rope 14 is connected to the tilt bar 8 and the front support 2, people can stand behind the rear support 3, then stand on the two foot pads 26, and hold the handles 13 with both hands to pull the two first elastic ropes 12 up and down to exercise their arms. When the two first elastic ropes 12 are pulled up and down, the seat frame 4 can move back and forth, and the two second elastic ropes 14 can extend and retract. III. When the first elastic rope 12 is connected to the tilting rod 8, and the second elastic rope 14 is connected to the tilting rod 8 and the front support 2, people can sit on the seat cushion 5, hold the handles 13 with both hands, and place their feet on the two first foot pedals 7. Then, they can pull the two first elastic ropes 12 back and forth with both hands and push the two first foot pedals 7 back and forth with both feet. At this time, the seat cushion frame 4 can move back and forth, and the two second elastic ropes 14 can extend and retract. IV. When the second elastic rope 14 is connected to the tilting rod 8 and the front support 2, people can sit on the seat cushion 5, hold the handles 62 with both hands, place their feet on the two second foot pedals 9, and then exert force with their waist and buttocks. At this time, the seat cushion frame 4 can move back and forth. 5. When the strap 61 is extended, the handle 62 can be hooked into the two hooks 37. People sit on the seat cushion 5, with their feet on the two first foot pedals 7. Then, they push the two first foot pedals 7 back and forth with their feet. At this time, the seat cushion frame 4 can move back and forth, and the two second elastic ropes 14 can extend and retract. The knob 63 is used to adjust the resistance of the resistance mechanism 6. The greater the resistance of the resistance mechanism 6, the smaller the distance the seat cushion frame 4 moves back and forth and the smaller the distance the two second elastic ropes 14 extend and retract; conversely, the greater the distance the seat cushion frame 4 moves back and forth and the larger the distance the two second elastic ropes 14 extend and retract.

[0032] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the design concept of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to this utility model using this concept shall be considered as an infringement of the protection scope of this utility model.
