[0002] The ski machine, as a new type of indoor fitness equipment, mainly consists of a base and a sliding pedal assembly mounted on the base. Users can stand on the pedal assembly and simulate skiing movements to exercise the waist and legs. Alternatively, they can lie prone, supporting themselves on the pedal assembly with their elbows, to perform chest expansion exercises to work the upper body muscles.
[0003] However, during chest expansion exercises, the hands lack necessary support, causing the body's center of gravity to be excessively concentrated on the elbows. This makes it difficult to maintain balance and increases the risk of falls and injuries. Furthermore, prolonged exercise with all the supporting force concentrated on the elbows can lead to wear and tear or skin damage due to excessive pressure on the elbows. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a multi-functional ski machine that enhances the experience and safety of chest expansion exercises.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.
[0020] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. They are only used to facilitate the description of this utility model and to simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0022] This utility model provides a multi-functional ski machine, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the system includes a base unit, specifically two base units: two base 1s arranged side-by-side along the length direction and a pedal assembly 2 slidably mounted on each of the base 1s. Regarding the sliding connection between the pedal assembly 2 and the base 1, the base 1 has a groove 104 extending along the length direction. The bottom of the pedal assembly 2 is provided with a roller 5 that mates with the groove 104. The long axis of the groove 104 is the sliding direction of the pedal assembly 2. Each pedal assembly 2 has an assembly portion perpendicular to the sliding direction on its outer side. A handle 4 is fixed on the assembly portion, and the handle 4 extends above the pedal assembly 2 to form a grip portion 402.
[0023] When operating this ski machine for prone chest expansion exercises, the user should place their elbows and forearms on the pedal assembly 2 and grip the handle 402 directly. As the chest expansion movement is performed, the handle 402 can withstand the forward thrust generated by the body leaning forward, thus facilitating balance and enhancing safety during exercise. Simultaneously, because the handle 4 distributes some of the support force originally borne by the elbows, it effectively reduces stress and wear on the elbows, improving the comfort of the workout.
[0024] Pedal assembly 2 is a group of components that may include a pedal or a structure that performs the same function as a pedal. In actual design, the roller will be located at the bottom of the pedal. Other structures may also be placed at the top of the pedal depending on the function being implemented.
[0025] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 includes a detachably connected top plate 101 and a bottom plate 102. The bottom plate 102 has two horizontally extending grooves 104 arranged side by side. The top plate 101 has through holes 103 corresponding to the grooves 104. The bottom of the pedal assembly 2 is fixed with a roller seat 6. The roller seat 6 adopts an inverted U-shaped connecting plate. Its closed end is fixed to the pedal assembly 2 by bolts, and its open end passes through the through hole 103 into the base 1. Rollers 5 are rotatably connected to the two end plates of the U-shaped connecting plate. The outer wheel surface of the roller 5 slides in cooperation with the inner groove surface of the groove 104. The groove 104 is set on the bottom plate 102 of the base 1, which can play a better role in load bearing and pressure resistance than being set on the top plate 101.
[0026] In one embodiment, the handle 4 and the pedal assembly 2 are detachably connected. The assembly part is an integrally formed sleeve 201 connected to the pedal assembly 2. One end of the handle 4 has a plug-in part 401 that mates with the sleeve 201. The plug-in part 401 is hollow and has a limiting component inside. Here, the limiting component can be a V-shaped spring 403. The two ends or one end of the V-shaped spring 403 have a button 404. The sleeve 201 has a positioning hole 202 that mates with the button 404. One end of the V-shaped spring 403 abuts against the inner wall of the plug-in part 401, and the button 404 at the other end of the V-shaped spring 403 passes through the outer wall of the plug-in part 401 and is engaged in the positioning hole 202.
[0027] There are multiple positioning holes 202, which are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the sleeve 201. In one embodiment, there are two positioning holes 202. The V-shaped spring of the insertion part 401 changes the distance between the grip part 402 and the outer side of the pedal assembly 2 by cooperating with different positioning holes 202. The user can adjust it according to the length of the forearm and the position of the elbow.
[0028] This design allows the handles to be detached, facilitating organization, packing, and transportation. When performing push-ups and chest expansion exercises, the handle 4 can be inserted into the sleeve 201; while when performing exercises simulating skiing movements, the handle 4 can be removed from the sleeve.
[0029] To improve stability, the handle 4 can be formed by bending a straight tube. The angle between the axis of the bent grip portion 402 and the axis of the insertion portion 401 is 100°-120°. This means the angle between the axis of the grip portion 402 and the surface of the pedal assembly 2 is also the aforementioned angle. This angle range conforms to the most suitable biomechanical angle between the hand and forearm during prone exercises, improving the user's workout experience. Preferably, in this solution, as... Figure 7 As shown, angle a is the angle mentioned, which is 110°.
[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, in order to improve the strength of the sleeve 201, crisscrossing reinforcing ribs 207 are provided at the bottom of the pedal to ensure the strength of the sleeve 201.
[0031] like Figure 6As shown, the pedal assembly 2 includes a pedal and an elbow support plate 203. The pedal has a mounting hole 205 and a mounting groove 206 on its surface. A connecting post 204 is located below the elbow support plate 203. When the connecting post 204 extends into the mounting hole 205, the elbow support plate is located within the mounting groove 206, which has an opening facing the handle 4. This design allows the elbow support plate 203 to be securely mounted on the pedal, and the user's elbow can comfortably rest on the elbow support plate 203 during push-up exercises, increasing the stability and comfort of the exercise. Furthermore, the design of the mounting groove 206 facing the handle 4 makes it easier for the user to move from one side of the pedal assembly 2 to the other during movement transitions, improving the smoothness and efficiency of the exercise.
[0032] In one embodiment, two connecting posts 204 and two mounting holes 205 are provided, arranged side by side along a sliding direction perpendicular to the pedal assembly 2. The elbow support plate 203 can be selectively installed according to different exercise needs. Specifically, when performing skiing posture exercises, the elbow support plate 203 should be removed, at which point the mounting groove 206 with its front opening acts as a support surface for the feet. When performing prone chest expansion exercises, the elbow support plate 203 is installed through the cooperation of the connecting posts 204 and the mounting holes 205, making it a support surface for the elbows and arms, thus preventing sweat from affecting the comfort of the chest expansion exercise. Anti-slip grooves are provided on the surface of the mounting groove 206; the shape of the anti-slip grooves is not limited, to enhance the anti-slip effect. Simultaneously, a sponge board or a protective film made of anti-slip EVA rubber foam can be adhered to the surface of the elbow support plate 203 to ensure elbow comfort.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the base includes a top plate and a bottom plate, which are detachably connected. A reset assembly is installed inside the base 1, specifically within the space enclosed by the top plate 101 and the bottom plate 102. The reset assembly includes an elastic pull rope 7 and a pulley 8. The distal end of the elastic pull rope 7 is connected to the side of the base 1 away from the initial position of the pedal assembly 2, and the proximal end of the elastic pull rope 7 passes around the pulley 8 and connects to the pedal assembly 2. Here, the distal end is the end away from the initial position of the pedal 2, and the proximal end is the end close to the initial position of the pedal 2. The initial position of the pedal assembly 2 is the initial position in a non-working state. Currently, a common initial position is when two bases 1 are horizontally connected, the initial position of the pedal assembly 2 is located at the end of the connection between the two bases 1.
[0034] In this embodiment, for ease of installation, the pulley 8 is fixed to the side of the top plate 101 below the initial position of the pedal assembly 2 via a pivot.
[0035] In one specific embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the top plate 101 is also provided with a pull rope mounting part 106 for fixing the two ends of the elastic pull rope 7. The pull rope mounting part 106 can be configured as a snap-fit groove integrally formed with the top plate 101. The same snap-fit groove is formed in the pull rope fixing seat 601. The enlarged structure 701 of the distal end and proximal end of the elastic pull rope 7 respectively cooperates with their respective snap-fit grooves. Of course, the main body of the elastic pull rope 7 can also be snapped in through the snap-fit groove to complete the assembly of the elastic pull rope 7.
[0036] In other embodiments, a pull rope fixing seat 601 may be provided on the end plate surface opposite to the roller seat 6. The proximal end of the elastic pull rope 7 is detachably connected to the pull rope fixing seat 601. In this case, there will also be a pull rope mounting part 106 in the pull rope fixing seat 601, that is, the proximal end of the elastic pull rope 7 is still snapped into the pull rope mounting part 106.
[0037] Here, the enlarged structure can be connected to the end of the elastic rope 7, or the end of the elastic rope 7 can be extended into an enlarged structure 701 with a diameter larger than that of the elastic rope 7, or it can be directly embedded in the end of the elastic rope 7.
[0038] The elastic pull rope 7 provides resistance during the sliding of the pedal assembly 2, thereby improving the exercise effect. More preferably, multiple pull rope mounting parts 106 are provided, which are arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the pedal assembly 2 on the side of the top plate 101 away from the initial position of the pedal assembly 2. When the end of the elastic pull rope 7 is installed in the locking groove that is far away from the initial position of the pedal assembly 2, the length of the elastic pull rope 7 stretched in the initial state becomes longer, thereby increasing the resistance generated during the sliding of the pedal assembly 2. By setting the number of locking grooves on the top plate 101, multiple levels of fitness exercise can be adjusted.
[0039] In one specific embodiment, there are two locking slots with two positions, sequentially designated as low and high positions along the direction away from the initial position of the pedal assembly 2. Figure 4 As shown, the base plate 102 has a gear adjustment port 107 corresponding to the side-by-side area formed between each pull rope mounting part 106. One end of the gear adjustment port 107 extends to the outside of the last pull rope mounting part 106 in a direction away from the initial position of the pedal assembly 2, so as to form an adjustment area sufficient for adjusting the position of the end of the elastic pull rope 7.
[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7As shown, the outer surface of the roller 5 is a first arc surface that convexes outward in the middle, and the inner surface of the groove 104 is a second arc surface that is concave in the middle. The second arc surface and the second arc surface have the same radius. The matching arc surfaces make the roller 5 and the groove 104 have a large contact surface. When the chest expansion movement has a forward leaning force, it prevents the roller 5 from separating from the groove 104. At the same time, the bottom plates 102 at both ends of the groove 104 are respectively fixed with a first limiting seat 105 and a second limiting seat, which laterally limit the roller 5 when it moves to the end position and the initial position.
[0041] In addition, since the base unit can be used as an independent fitness equipment, when using this application, fitness enthusiasts or users can also choose to exercise using only one side, that is, one hand supporting the ground and the other hand sliding.
[0042] In all embodiments, anti-slip components may be provided under the base plate 102, such as an anti-slip ring around the bottom or anti-slip components with anti-slip function such as silicone pads spaced around the bottom, so that the stability will be better during movement.
[0043] In addition, such as Figure 8 As shown, if both base units are used at the same time, they can be fixed together with a fixing plate to facilitate user fitness, especially for the elderly or children.
[0044] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
