Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of treadmill technology, and in particular relates to a retractable treadmill running board. Background Technology
[0002] A treadmill is a fitness machine that simulates outdoor running or walking. It uses a mechanical or electric drive to rotate a tracked running belt, allowing users to perform exercises such as running, brisk walking, and slow walking within a fixed range.
[0003] Traditional treadmill running boards are usually placed directly on the ground. When it is necessary to store the running board, it is difficult to fold it. The running board can only be moved to a corner or other location, which results in the running board taking up a lot of floor space. Especially at home, the floor space occupied not only affects the aesthetics of the room, but also affects the movement of people in the room when it is not used for a long time. Therefore, we have proposed a foldable running board for treadmills. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a retractable treadmill running board. By setting up a retractable mechanism, specifically, when the electric push rod extends, it pushes the main body of the treadmill running board. At this time, the flipping block rotates on the connecting block, causing the main body of the treadmill running board to be folded and retracted. After folding and retraction, the threaded knob is rotated clockwise to drive the convex shaft into the limiting hole, thereby preventing the main body of the treadmill running board from falling off. Furthermore, this method of retraction significantly reduces space occupation and minimizes the impact on pedestrian movement. It solves the problem that traditional treadmill running boards are usually placed directly on the ground, making it difficult to fold them when needed, resulting in the running board occupying a large amount of ground space.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

An electric push rod 23 is hinged between the first hinge block 13 and the second hinge block 22. When the electric push rod 23 extends, it pushes the treadmill running board body 1. At this time, the flipping block 24 rotates on the connecting block 25, causing the treadmill running board body 1 to be folded and stored. After folding and storage, the threaded knob 123 is rotated clockwise to drive the convex shaft 124 into the limiting hole 11, thereby preventing the treadmill running board body 1 from falling off. This storage method significantly reduces space occupation and minimizes the impact on personnel movement.
[0032] Dustproof mechanism 3 is set on the back of the treadmill running board body 1. Dustproof mechanism 3 is used to cover the treadmill running board body 1 after it is stored to prevent dust. The bottom of the base frame 21 is in contact with the ground. The bottom of the bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the base frame 21. The treadmill running board body 1 flips on the base frame 21.
[0033] A fixing block 122 is fixedly connected to the outside of the bracket 12. A threaded knob 123 is threadedly connected inside the fixing block 122. A convex shaft 124 is fixedly connected to the side of the threaded knob 123 facing the treadmill running board body 1. The diameter of the convex shaft 124 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the limiting hole 11. The convex shaft 124 is adapted to the limiting hole 11.
[0034] A flip block 24 is fixedly connected to the bottom rear position of the limiting hole 11. A connecting block 25 is rotatably connected to both the front and back of the flip block 24. The side of the connecting block 25 away from the flip block 24 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the base frame 21. When the treadmill running board body 1 is pushed and flipped, the treadmill running board body 1 will drive the flip block 24 to rotate on the connecting block 25. At the same time, the cooperation between the flip block 24 and the connecting block 25 will support the treadmill running board body 1.
[0035] The back of the base frame 21 is fixedly connected to a T-shaped side plate 26, and two insertion holes are opened inside the T-shaped side plate 26.
[0036] The dustproof mechanism 3 includes a placement plate 31 positioned on the T-shaped side plate 26. A dustproof cloth cover 32 is provided on the placement plate 31. A metal frame 321 is fixedly connected to the top and bottom of the dustproof cloth cover 32. A handle 322 is fixedly connected to the outside of the upper metal frame 321. After the treadmill running board body 1 is stored, the user pulls the handle 322 to move the upper metal frame 321. At this time, the dustproof cloth cover 32 will be unfolded and put on the stored treadmill running board body 1, thereby covering and shielding the treadmill running board body 1 and achieving the effect of dust prevention, reducing dust adhesion to the treadmill running board body 1.

[0038] One specific application of this embodiment is:
[0039] In use, the controller 121 controls the start, stop, and speed adjustment functions of the treadmill running board body 1. When the treadmill running board body 1 is not in use, the controller 121 controls the electric push rod 23 to start, which will extend the electric push rod 23. At this time, the electric push rod 23 will push the treadmill running board body 1 upward and flip it through the hinge block 13. At the same time, the bottom of the treadmill running board body 1 will rotate on the connecting block 25 through the flipping block 24, so that the treadmill running board body 1 can be smoothly flipped and folded. The right side of the electric push rod 23 will rotate on the hinge block 22. This allows the treadmill running board body 1 to rotate stably. Once the treadmill running board body 1 has rotated and is close to the controller 121, it can be stored away. At the same time, the electric push rod 23 stops. At this time, the limiting hole 11 on the treadmill running board body 1 will move to the position of the threaded knob 123. The user then turns the threaded knob 123 clockwise to drive the cam shaft 124 toward the position of the treadmill running board body 1, so that the cam shaft 124 enters into the limiting hole 11, thereby limiting the treadmill running board body 1 and preventing the treadmill running board body 1 from falling off.
[0040] After the treadmill running board body 1 is finally stored, the user inserts the placement plate 31 into the T-shaped side plate 26 through the bottom insertion rod 33.
