Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of treadmill technology, and in particular to a treadmill support structure. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the popularization of healthy living concepts and the growth of demand for home fitness, treadmills have gradually become an important category in the home fitness equipment market due to their relatively simple structure, small footprint, and ease of storage.

[0003] In existing flat treadmill designs, fixed support feet are generally installed at the front end to ensure stability during use. These support feet are typically rigid structures, directly welded or bolted to the front sides or middle of the treadmill frame to form stable support points.

[0004] However, this fixed front support leg design has the following significant drawbacks: 1. Large storage space occupation: Because the support legs are fixed and protrude outwards, when users need to store the treadmill, these non-foldable support legs will take up valuable space, making it difficult to minimize the overall volume after storage and reducing the product's space adaptability.

[0005] 2. Low transportation efficiency and high cost: In the product packaging and transportation process, the protruding fixed support legs at the front end significantly increase the minimum outer packaging size required for packing. This not only increases the volume and material cost of a single package, but more importantly, it severely reduces the load capacity per unit space (installation capacity) of transport vehicles or containers. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a compact treadmill support structure that is easy to store and transport.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a treadmill support structure, comprising a frame, a plurality of support legs movably disposed at the front end of the frame, and a cover; The supporting legs can be moved relative to the frame to form a folded state and a supported state; When the support leg is in the folded state, its end face away from the frame coincides with or nearly coincides with the end face of the cover. When the support foot is in the support state, the end face of the side away from the frame is higher than the end face of the cover to enable the treadmill to be supported by the support foot.

[0008] In the above scheme, preferably, the frame is provided with a bracket, and the support leg is rotatably mounted on the bracket via a pin.

[0009] In the above-mentioned scheme, preferably, the cover is provided with a folding cavity for the support legs to be folded and hidden and to be unfolded.

[0010] In the above scheme, preferably, the folding cavity includes a support wall that cooperates with the support foot in the support state. The support wall is an inclined wall, and its inclination direction is from the bottom of the folding cavity to the end face of the cover facing the front of the treadmill.

[0011] In the above scheme, preferably, the support foot is provided with a driving part, and one side of the folding cavity is provided with a slot adapted to the driving part.

[0012] In the above scheme, preferably, the end face of the driving part is placed outside the slot after it spans the slot.

[0013] In the above scheme, preferably, the folding cavity is provided with a slot that cooperates with the driving part, and one side of the slot forms a support surface that abuts against the driving part.

[0014] In the above scheme, preferably, the driving part and the support foot are integrally formed.

[0015] In the above scheme, preferably, the bracket includes symmetrically arranged side plates and a support plate that abuts against the side wall of the support leg after rotation; The cover is provided with a mounting groove that mates with the bracket.

[0016] In the above scheme, preferably, it includes a first working surface on one side of the frame and a second working surface on the opposite side of the first working surface, and the support foot is provided on the first working surface and / or the second working surface.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By adopting a structure that combines movable support feet with a cover with a folding cavity, when the support feet are folded, the end face away from the frame coincides with or nearly coincides with the end face of the cover, which significantly reduces the space occupied during storage, making it easier to store the treadmill against a wall or in a cabinet. At the same time, the flat appearance design greatly reduces the volume of the transport packaging, effectively increases the load capacity of a single vehicle, reduces logistics costs, and eliminates protruding parts, making the overall appearance of the treadmill simpler and smoother. When the support leg is extended to the supported state, its end face away from the frame is higher than the end face of the cover, ensuring that the treadmill receives stable support. The inclined support plate on the frame enhances the structural compressive strength and improves the reliability of use. In addition, the drive unit on the support leg cooperates with the slots and latches on the cover, allowing users to easily switch the support leg between the folded and supported states with a single button without tools. The operation is simple and efficient. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments: See below Figures 1-6 .

[0025] A treadmill support structure includes a frame 1 and a plurality of support legs 2 movably disposed at the front end of the frame 1. The treadmill is a double-sided treadmill, having a first working surface 4 and a second working surface 5 disposed opposite to the first working surface 4. The support legs 2 are symmetrically disposed on the first working surface 4 and / or the second working surface 5.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the support feet 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first working surface 4; Figure 2 As shown, the support feet 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second working surface 5. When the first working surface 4 is used as the running working surface, the treadmill can achieve support relative to the ground through the support feet 2 on the second working surface 5; when the second working surface 5 is used as the running working surface, the treadmill can achieve support relative to the ground through the support feet 2 on the first working surface 4.

[0027] The front end of the frame 1 is provided with a bracket 101 for mounting the support foot 2. The support foot 2 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 101. Specifically, one end of the support foot 2 is rotatably connected to the bracket 101 through a pin 102. One end of the pin 102 is a nut end, and the other end passes through the bracket 101 and the support foot 2 and is provided with a fastening nut. By adjusting the fastening nut, the support foot 2 can be damped to rotate through the pin 102 and the bracket 101. The fastening nut can also adjust the damping force of the above-mentioned damping rotation.

[0028] The bracket 101 includes a support plate 104 that is supported by the support leg 2 in the supported state, and side plates 103 extending vertically through both sides of the support plate 104. The support leg 2 is disposed between the two side plates 103. The pin 102 is disposed through the side plate 103 on one side, the support leg 2 and the side plate 103 on the other side in sequence. After the support leg 2 rotates relative to the bracket 101, when it rotates towards the support plate 104, the end face of the support leg 2 that is close to the support plate 104 is abutted and limited by the surface of the support plate 104.

[0029] The frame 1 is provided with a cover 3 at the front end of both the first working surface 4 and the front end of the second working surface 5. This cover covers parts located inside the front end of the treadmill. The cover 3 has a folding cavity 301 for the support legs 2 to be folded and concealed, and to be unfolded. The support legs 2 can be in a folded state or a supported state after moving relative to the frame 1. Figure 1 As shown, on the first working surface 4, the left support leg 2 is in a supported state, while the right support leg 2 is in a folded state.

[0030] When the support leg 2 is in the folded state, its end face away from the frame 1 coincides with or nearly coincides with the end face of the cover 3, that is, as Figure 1 The support leg 2 on the right side is hidden inside the cover 3, and its wall on one side of the cover 3 coincides with or nearly coincides with the end face of the cover 3. When the support leg 2 is in the supporting state, its end face away from the frame 1 is higher than the end face of the cover 3 so that the treadmill can be supported by the support leg 2. Figure 1 The support foot 2 on the left side is located on the outer end face of the cover 3, which is higher than the surface of the cover 3. Thus, when supporting, the support foot 2 first supports the ground to protect the cover 3 from being crushed.

[0031] The support plate 104 is an inclined plate, with its inclination direction extending from the bottom of the folding cavity 301 to the end face of the cover 3 towards the front of the treadmill. The cover 3 has an installation groove 105 for accommodating the bracket 101. The bracket 101 is built into the folding cavity 301, and the side plates 103 on both sides are located on both sides of the folding cavity 301. When the support leg 2 is installed on the bracket 101, it can be hidden inside the folding cavity 301 or rotated away from the bottom of the folding cavity 301 after rotation. Figure 1 The support state of the left support leg 2 is shown.

[0032] The support leg 2 is provided with a driving part 201, and one side of the folding cavity 301 is provided with a slot 303 adapted to the driving part 201; Figure 1Taking the support leg 2 on the left side as an example, the slot 303 is set through the wall on the left side of the cover 3. After the drive part 201 spans the slot 303, its end face is placed outside the slot 303, so that the operator can easily hold or move the drive part 201. The folding cavity 301 is provided with a latch 304 that cooperates with the drive part 201. The side of the latch 304 away from the slot 303 forms a support surface 305 that abuts against the drive part 201.

[0033] The support surface 305 can make gap contact with the rotated support leg 2. The driving part 201 is integrally formed with the support leg 2. When the driving part 201 drives the support leg 2 to rotate around the pin 102 for support, it forms... Figure 3 In the state shown, the wall of the drive unit 201 on the side near the rotation direction is in contact or in gap contact with the support surface 305.

[0034] The bracket 101 is integrally formed and has a connecting groove 106 for fixed engagement with the frame 1. That is, the bracket 101 is welded to the frame 1 or fixed with fasteners via the connecting groove 106. Support plates 104 are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the connecting groove 106, and the support plates 104 are mirror images of each other. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, this allows the support feet 2 on the first working surface 4 and the second working surface 5 to be installed through the integrally formed bracket 101, thereby improving the installation accuracy and support accuracy.

[0035] Using a treadmill support structure as described above: Folding operation: When the drive unit 201 is turned, the support leg 2 rotates around the pin 102 into the folding cavity 301, and the drive unit 201 engages with the slot 303. At this time, the end face of the support leg 2 is flush with the end face of the cover 3. Figure 1 (Right support leg status).

[0036] Supported operations: Pull the drive unit 201 outward to disengage it from the slot 303. The support leg 2 rotates and falls to the support state. The drive unit 201 abuts against the support plate 104 and is limited in place. At the same time, it contacts or gaps against the support surface 305 inside the folding cavity 301. The side of the support leg 2 is in close contact with the inclined support plate 104 of the bracket 101. Figure 6 (Upper support foot status). At this time, the lower end of support foot 2 protrudes from the cover 3, providing stable support for the treadmill.

[0037] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
