A horse riding deep squat fitness machine

Abstract

This invention provides a horse-riding squat exercise machine, which includes a base, a seat, pedals, and handles. A swing frame and a swing rod are hinged sequentially to the base, and a sliding rod is hinged to the swing frame. The seat is fixed to the upper end of the swing frame. Pedals are located on both sides of the swing rod. Handles are fixed to the upper end of the sliding rod. During exercise, when the exerciser sits down, their own weight drives the swing frame to swing backward, causing the pedals to retract and the handles to extend forward, creating a rein-like pulling resistance. Simultaneously, the elastic components are forced to stretch to store energy. When pushing off, the lower limb thrust is transmitted through the swing rod, pushing the swing frame forward, simultaneously pulling the rollers forward to release elastic potential energy, causing the handles to rise and generate a counter-force. The abdominal muscles continuously resist the dynamic rebound force during the seat's rise and fall. The entire exercise process replicates the rhythm of rein control and stirrup pedaling during horseback riding, achieving coordinated training of upper limb pulling, lower limb extension, and core stability, providing an immersive exercise experience that combines entertainment and muscle shaping efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fitness equipment, and in particular to a horse-riding squat fitness machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional fitness equipment has significant limitations in simulating natural movement and the effectiveness of compound training. For example, most fitness equipment that simulates horseback riding uses a fixed trajectory swing mechanism or a single resistance system, which makes it difficult to reproduce the dynamic coupling effect of the reins pulling resistance and the stirrup pedal reaction force in real riding. This results in insufficient coordinated training of upper limb pulling force, lower limb explosive power and core stability.

[0003] Furthermore, current technological pain points are mainly manifested in the lack of freedom of movement due to rigid connections in mechanical structures, low efficiency of multi-muscle group synergistic activation, and distortion of the mechanical mapping between movement patterns and real-world scenarios. Therefore, the market urgently needs a fitness device that can integrate multi-joint linkage and has high bio-simulation to break through the bottleneck of existing devices in terms of movement pattern reproduction. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings mentioned above, this utility model provides a horse-riding squat fitness machine.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A riding squat exercise machine includes:

[0007] A base, on which a swing frame and a swing rod are hinged in sequence, and a sliding rod is hinged on the swing frame;

[0008] A seat cushion, which is fixed to the upper end of the swing frame;

[0009] The pedal is fixed on both sides of the swing arm;

[0010] A handle is provided, and the upper end of the sliding rod is fixed to the handle.

[0011] The upper end of the swing rod is hinged to the swing frame, the sliding rod and the base are connected by an elastic member, and the sliding rod slides linearly relative to the swing frame on the base.

[0012] In one possible implementation, a track rod is fixed in the middle of the base, and a roller is provided at the lower end of the sliding rod, the roller being slidably mounted on the track rod.

[0013] In one possible implementation, first rotating sleeves are fixed to both ends of the elastic member, and the base and the sliding rod are both fixed to first rotating shafts at the positions connecting the elastic member. The rotating sleeves at both ends of the elastic member are respectively fitted over the two first rotating shafts.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the base has a through-hole strip on the side of the track rod, and the track rod has a through-hole fixing hole near one end of the strip hole, through which the pin is inserted; the track rod also has a sliding sleeve, and the pin passes through one end of the sliding sleeve and then through the fixing hole to restrict the sliding sleeve on the track rod, and the first rotating shaft passes through one end of the sliding sleeve and through the strip hole.

[0015] In one possible implementation, a buffer is fixed to the downward-facing side of the swing frame, and a shock-absorbing pad is fixed to the upward-facing side of the sliding rod. When the swing frame swings downward to the lower end of its stroke, the buffer presses onto the shock-absorbing pad.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the swing frame is provided with a first adjustment sleeve, and a connecting rod that can be telescopically moved and fixed inside the first adjustment sleeve is adapted to fit through the sleeve, and the seat cushion is fixed to the upper end of the connecting rod.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the connecting rod is provided with a row of first adjustment holes, and the adjustment sleeve is spirally connected to a first bolt. After the first bolt spirally passes through the first adjustment sleeve, it passes through one of the first adjustment holes.

[0018] In one possible implementation, a second adjusting sleeve is fixed to the bottom of the seat cushion, the second adjusting sleeve is spirally connected to a second bolt, a row of second adjusting holes is provided on the side above the connecting rod, the upper end of the connecting rod passes through the second adjusting sleeve, and the second bolt spirally passes through the second adjusting sleeve and then through one of the second adjusting holes.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the swing arm is fixed to a U-shaped component, with a second rotating sleeve fixed to each end of the U-shaped component, and a second rotating shaft fixed to one end of the pedal. The second rotating shafts of the two pedals are respectively mounted on the two second rotating sleeves.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the sliding rod includes a first link and a second link, the handle is disposed on the second link, the first link and the second link are pivotally connected by a through-pin to enable rotation between them, and the first link and the second link are also rigidly locked by a helically threaded fourth bolt.

[0021] As can be seen from the above description of the structure of this utility model, compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: When exercising with this utility model, after the exerciser sits down, their own weight drives the swing frame to swing backward, causing the pedals to retract and the handles to extend forward, forming a rein-like pulling resistance. At the same time, the elastic components are forced to stretch to store energy. When pedaling, the lower limb thrust is transmitted through the swing rod to push the swing frame forward, simultaneously pulling the rollers forward to release elastic potential energy, causing the handles to rise and generate a counter-force. The abdominal muscles continuously resist the dynamic rebound force during the seat's rise and fall. The entire exercise process replicates the rhythm of rein control and stirrup pedaling when riding a horse, breaking through the bottleneck of low motion reproduction of existing exercise equipment. At the same time, the deep squatting mechanism of hip and knee linkage strengthens the explosive power of the buttocks and legs, ultimately achieving coordinated training of upper limb pulling, lower limb extension, and core stability. It provides an immersive exercise experience that combines sports entertainment and muscle shaping efficiency, meeting market demands. Attached Figure Description

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Hereinafter, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0035] Furthermore, in this application, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are defined relative to the indicated placement of the components in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the placement of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0036] The utility model provides a horse-riding squat exercise machine, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the fitness machine includes a base 1, a seat 2, handles 4, and pedals 3. A swing frame 5 and a swing rod 6 are hinged sequentially to the base 1, and a sliding rod 7 is hinged to the swing frame 5. The seat 2 is fixed to the upper end of the swing frame 5. Pedals 3 are installed on both sides of the swing rod 6. The handles 4 are fixed to the upper end of the sliding rod 7.

[0037] The upper end of the swing rod 6 is hinged to the swing frame 5, and the sliding rod 7 slides linearly relative to the base 1 on the base 1. Its sliding structure can be as shown in the attached figure. Figure 4 , 6 As shown in Figure 9, a track rod 11 is fixed in the middle of the base 1, and a roller 71 is provided at the lower end of the sliding rod 7. The roller 71 is slidably fitted onto the track rod 11. Specifically, the center of the annular surface of the roller 71 is concave inward, so that the concave area of ​​the roller 71 can fit onto the track rod 11, thereby restricting the roller 71 to slide only in a straight line relative to the track rod 11. The sliding rod 7 and the base 1 are also connected by an elastic member 8. Preferably, the two ends of the elastic member 8 are respectively fixed with a first rotating sleeve 81. Specifically, the elastic member 8 can be a spring, and both ends of the spring are inserted into and fixed to the joint. The first rotating sleeve 81 and the joint are vertically fixed. In this embodiment, the fixing can be welding or screw fixing. The base 1 and the sliding rod 7 are both fixed at the position where the elastic member 8 is connected. The rotating sleeves at both ends of the elastic member 8 are respectively fitted outside the two first rotating shafts 82. Then, bolts are connected to the ends of the first rotating shafts 82 to restrict the first rotating sleeves 81 outside the first rotating shafts 82, thereby restricting the two ends of the elastic member 8 from rotating relative to the base 1 and the sliding rod 7 respectively.

[0038] Furthermore, the base 1 has a through-hole 101 on the side of the track rod 11, and the track rod 11 has a through-hole 102 near one end of the through-hole 101, through which a pin 84 is inserted. A sliding sleeve 83 is also provided on the track rod 11. The pin 84 passes through one end of the sliding sleeve 83 and then into the 102, thus securing the sliding sleeve 83 to the track rod 11. An elastic member 8 is used to connect the first rotating shaft 82 of the base 1, which passes through one end of the sliding sleeve and through the through-hole 101, thereby similarly securing the other end of the sliding sleeve 83 to the track rod 11, thus confining the end of the elastic member 8 to the base 1.

[0039] During exercise, the exerciser sits on the seat 2, with both feet on the two pedals 3 and both hands holding the two handles 4. Under the exerciser's weight, the seat 2 sinks, causing the swing frame 5 to swing downwards and towards the rear of the machine base (i.e., away from the hinged end of the swing frame 5 and base 1). This causes the handle 4 at the upper end of the sliding rod 7 to swing forward and downward, and also causes the roller 71 at the lower end of the sliding rod 7 to slide backwards, thus stretching the elastic component 8. Then, the legs push off the pedals 3, and the hands pull up the handles 4, causing the roller 71 at the lower end of the sliding rod 7 to slide forward, raising the seat 2. This process fully exercises the legs, arms, and core. Relaxing the legs and arms, the seat 2 sinks again, repeating this process to simulate the action of riding a horse, with the legs on the stirrups and the hands pulling the reins, simulating the effect of horseback riding while simultaneously causing the core to bend repeatedly, simulating the effect of a squat.

[0040] The fitness process after adopting the above structure is as follows:

[0041] The exerciser sits on the seat 2 in a riding posture, with both feet naturally placed on the side pedals 3 and both hands holding the front handlebars 4. Under the exerciser's own weight, the seat 2 naturally sinks, causing the swing frame 5 to swing backward and downward around the hinge point of the base 1. At this time, the swing rod 6 moves backward with the swing frame 5, causing the side pedals 3 to move backward. Meanwhile, the roller 71 at the lower end of the sliding rod 7 is pulled backward along the track rod 11 by the swing frame 5, causing the upper handlebar 4 to extend forward to form a rein-like pulling sensation. At the same time, the elastic component 8 is stretched to accumulate rebound potential energy. During the process, the exerciser's body leans backward to form a power-gathering posture.

[0042] The exerciser then pushes off the pedals 3 with both legs and pulls the handles 4 with both arms. When the legs push off the pedals 3 and the arms pull the handles 4, the swing rod 6 transmits the lower limb thrust to the swing frame 5, which drives the seat 2 to rise to a high position. At the same time, the roller 71 under the sliding rod 7 slides forward, driving the handles 4 to rise and releasing elastic potential energy. During this rise and fall, the core muscles of the waist and abdomen continuously resist the rebound force of the equipment and form a coordinated linkage of the pushing force, the pulling force of the upper limbs and the stability force of the trunk.

[0043] Relax your limbs, and let the sliding bar 7 and the swing frame 5 restrict you, so that the seat cushion 2 sinks down to the initial low position again under the pressure of your body weight, thus forming a reciprocating cycle.

[0044] The fitness process described above fully replicates the actions of controlling the reins and riding the stirrups when riding a horse through a dynamic combination of pedaling, pulling, and returning. At the same time, it incorporates the core muscle strengthening mechanism of hip and knee linkage in squat training, achieving an immersive training experience that integrates hip and leg shaping, arm strength improvement, and waist and abdominal coordination training.

[0045] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 5 The downward-facing side of the swing frame 5 is fixed with a buffer 51, and the upward-facing side of the sliding rod 7 is fixed with a shock-absorbing pad 72, which can be a rubber block. When the swing frame 5 swings downward to the lower end of its stroke, the buffer 51 presses against the shock-absorbing pad 72, causing the seat 2 to sink. The swing frame 5 and the sliding rod 7 then form a precise, flexible contact to absorb the impact energy at the end of the swing frame 5, converting the vibration generated by the mechanical collision into a smooth, cushioning force. This combination maintains the stability of the machine's trajectory and, through the design of the soft and hard contact surfaces, eliminates the noise and wear from direct impacts of metal parts. It transforms the sinking process of the seat 2 from a "hard stop" to a "progressive damping feedback," protecting the lifespan of the machine's joints and allowing the exerciser to experience a soft, supportive feeling similar to a saddle hitting the ground at the limit of their movement, further enhancing exercise comfort and safety.

[0046] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 2 The swing rod 6 is fixed to the U-shaped component 31, and the two ends of the U-shaped component 31 are respectively fixed to the second rotating sleeve 32. One end of the pedal 3 is fixed to the second rotating shaft 33, and the second rotating shaft 33 of the two pedals 3 are respectively threaded through the two second rotating sleeves 32. This structure allows the pedals 3 to rotate relative to the swing rod 6 and the swing frame 5. In different training modes such as squat jump and horse riding simulation, when the angle of the exerciser's foot force application changes dynamically with the squat rise and fall or the rein pulling action, the pedal 3 can respond instantly to the distribution of foot pressure and perform adaptive micro-rotation with the forefoot as the axis, so that the ankle joint completes muscle coordination training in natural angle correction, while ensuring that the pedaling force is efficiently transmitted to the swing frame 5 along the rigid frame of the U-shaped component 31.

[0047] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 7 and 8The frame 5 is equipped with a first adjustment sleeve 52, within which a connecting rod 53 is fitted, allowing for retractable movement and subsequent fixation. The seat 2 is fixed to the upper end of the connecting rod 53. The height of the seat 2 is adjustable through the extension and retraction of the connecting rod 53, enabling exercisers of different heights to quickly find the optimal riding posture. Furthermore, the connecting rod 53 has a row of first adjustment holes 531. The adjustment sleeve is spirally connected to a first bolt 54, which spirally inserts into the first adjustment sleeve 52 and then into one of the first adjustment holes 531. This structure retains the convenience of sliding adjustment while ensuring rigid support during exercise through the mechanical interlocking of the first adjustment holes 531 and the first bolt 54. The spiral fastening method eliminates the need for tool assistance and effectively resists the risk of displacement caused by high-frequency impacts during training by utilizing the self-locking properties of the threads. Combined with the multi-hole design, it provides full-size adaptability from children to adults. While ensuring structural strength, it allows for personalized matching of core training parameters such as squat depth and rein pull angle, significantly improving the standard and safety of training movements.

[0048] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 7 and 8 The bottom of the seat 2 is fixed with a second adjustment sleeve 55, and the upper part of the connecting rod 53 is bent to be nearly parallel to the base 1. The upper end of the connecting rod 53 is inserted into the second adjustment sleeve 55, making the horizontal position of the seat 2 relative to the handlebars 4 and pedals 3 adjustable. The exerciser can precisely adjust the horizontal distance between the seat 2 and the pedals 3 and handlebars 4, so that exercisers of different arm lengths can quickly find the best riding posture. Furthermore, the second adjustment sleeve 55 is spirally connected to the second bolt 56, and a row of second adjustment holes 551 is provided on the side above the connecting rod 53. The second bolt 56 is spirally inserted into the second adjustment sleeve 55 and then into one of the second adjustment holes 551. This structure retains the convenience of sliding adjustment, and ensures rigid support during exercise through the mechanical interlocking of the second adjustment holes 551 and the second bolt 56. The spiral fastening method eliminates the need for tool assistance and effectively resists the risk of displacement caused by high-frequency impacts during training by utilizing the self-locking characteristics of the thread. Combined with the multi-hole design, it forms a full-size fit from children to adults.

[0049] In addition, please continue to refer to the appendix. Figure 5 The buffer element 51 is spirally connected to the third bolt 511. When the swing frame 5 swings downward to the lower end of its stroke, the buffer element 51 presses against the shock-absorbing pad 72 via the third bolt 511. (See attached diagram.) Figure 3 The sliding rod 7 adopts a segmented design, with the first link 73 and the second link 74 pivotally connected by a through-pin 75 to achieve mutual rotation. At the same time, the first link 73 and the second link 74 are also rigidly locked by a spirally threaded fourth bolt 76. Among them, the roller 71 and the shock-absorbing pad 72 are located on the first link 73, and the handle 4 is located on the second link 74.

[0050] Before folding this utility model, the fourth bolt 76 is removed sequentially to release the constraint between the first connecting rod 73 and the second connecting rod 74; the pin 84 is removed so that the sliding sleeve 83 is only constrained by the strip hole through the first pivot 82, allowing the sliding sleeve 83 to slide freely along the track rod 11, thereby releasing the preload of the elastic member 8; the third bolt 511 is unscrewed so that the buffer member 51 can be fitted onto the outside of the first connecting rod when the swing frame 5 swings down, thereby optimizing the folding space volume. See also the attached... Figure 10 and 11 The specific folding steps are as follows: slide the sliding sleeve 83 along the strip hole 101 to the end of the track rod 11 away from the fixing hole 102, and place the first connecting rod 73 close to the plane of the track rod 11. At the same time, the linkage frame 5 pivots to the rear and lower part of the base 1, so that the seat cushion 2 is transferred to the rear end of the base 1. Then swing the second connecting rod 74 downwards until the handle 4 rests on the seat cushion 2 at the rear end of the base 1. This completes the folding configuration with minimal space occupation, which is convenient for storage.

[0051] In summary, this invention utilizes a multi-joint precision linkage formed by the pendulum frame 5, swing rod 6, sliding rod 7, and elastic component 8 to construct a highly biomimetic fitness device: After the exerciser sits down, their own weight drives the pendulum frame 5 to swing backward, causing the pedal 3 to retract and the handle 4 to extend forward. The elastic component 8 stores energy to form a rein-like pulling resistance. When the exerciser pushes off, the lower limb thrust is transmitted through the swing rod 6 to push the pendulum frame 5 forward, simultaneously pulling the roller 71 forward to release elastic potential energy, causing the handle 4 to rise and generate a counter-force. The abdominal muscles continuously resist the dynamic rebound force as the seat cushion 2 rises and falls. The entire system replicates the rhythm of rein control and stirrup pedaling during horseback riding with a pendulum-like trajectory, breaking through the bottleneck of low motion reproduction in existing exercise equipment. At the same time, it strengthens the explosive power of the buttocks and legs through the squatting mechanism of hip and knee linkage, ultimately achieving coordinated training of upper limb pulling, lower limb extension, and core stability, providing an immersive exercise experience that combines exercise entertainment with muscle shaping efficiency.

[0052] 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.
