[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a stepper, which includes a sliding pedal 1, a reset assembly 2, and a base 3. The sliding pedal 1 can be a support plate that allows the exerciser to stand on and perform reciprocating sliding exercises. The reset assembly 2 can be a structure that resets the sliding pedal 1 during the reciprocating sliding exercises. The base 3 can be the base of the stepper.
[0037] In one possible embodiment, the sliding pedal 1 is slidably disposed on the base 3, and the sliding pedal 1 is capable of sliding back and forth on the base 3. When the sliding pedal 1 slides back and forth on the base 3, the exerciser is able to perform sliding step training accordingly.
[0038] Optionally, the reset assembly 2 includes at least one set of reset tension springs 21. Each set of reset tension springs 21 may include two tension springs, which may be symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the sliding pedal 1. The two ends of each tension spring are respectively connected to the sliding pedal 1 and the base 3. The two ends of each tension spring may be fixedly connected to the pedal and the base 3 respectively, and the two ends of each tension spring may be detachably connected to the pedal and the base 3 respectively.
[0039] During the reciprocating sliding of the sliding pedal 1, the reset component 2 is used to return the sliding pedal 1 to its initial position, thereby enabling the reciprocating movement of the sliding pedal 1. When the sliding pedal 1 is in the initial position, the distance between the top of the two tension springs is less than the distance between the bottom of the two tension springs. When the sliding pedal 1 is displaced, the two tension springs can work together to drive the sliding pedal 1, causing it to slide back to its initial position. In this application, the stepper machine slides smoothly when the sliding pedal 1 changes direction, providing consumers with a good fitness experience.
[0040] In one possible embodiment, the base 3 includes two guide rails 31, which can be used to slide and support the sliding pedal 1. The guide rails 31 can also be set on the ground.
[0041] Optionally, the sliding pedal 1 can be slidably mounted on two guide rails 31, and the sliding pedal 1 can reciprocate on the two guide rails 31. This allows for a sliding connection between the sliding pedal 1 and the base 3, enabling the operator to perform sliding step training.
[0042] In one possible embodiment, the sliding pedal 1 includes two sets of pulleys 11 corresponding one-to-one with the two guide rails 31. Each set of pulleys 11 is slidably disposed on the guide rail 31 corresponding to each set of pulleys 11. The sliding pedal 1 can be disposed on the two guide rails 31 by the two sets of pulleys 11, and the sliding pedal 1 can slide on the two guide rails 31, thereby forming a sliding guide for the sliding pedal 1.
[0043] Optionally, in other embodiments, each set of pulleys 11 may also be rolled on the guide rail 31 corresponding to each set of pulleys 11, and each set of pulleys 11 may roll on the guide rail 31 corresponding to each set of pulleys 11, thereby forming a guide for the sliding pedal 1.
[0044] In one possible embodiment, each guide rail 31 includes a first inclined surface 311 and a second inclined surface 312. The first inclined surface 311 and the second inclined surface 312 together form an upwardly convex inverted "V" shaped structure. Each guide rail 31 supports the sliding pedal 1 through the first inclined surface 311 and the second inclined surface 312.
[0045] Optionally, each set of pulleys 11 includes two pulleys 11, which can be respectively mounted on the first inclined surface 311 and the second inclined surface 312. When the sliding pedal 1 slides on the guide rail 31, one of the two pulleys 11 rises on the first inclined surface 311 and the other pulley 11 falls on the second inclined surface 312, or one of the two pulleys 11 falls on the first inclined surface 311 and the other pulley 11 rises on the second inclined surface 312.
[0046] In one possible embodiment, guide protrusions 313 are provided on both the first inclined surface 311 and the second inclined surface 312. The guide protrusions are used to guide the sliding pedal 1 on the guide rail 31. The guide protrusions can drive the sliding pedal 1 to slide along a preset movement direction.
[0047] Optionally, each pulley 11 includes a guide groove 111 corresponding to the guide protrusion 313. During the reciprocating sliding of the sliding pedal 1, the guide groove 111 accommodates the guide protrusion 313. During the sliding process of the pulley 11 relative to the guide groove 111, the guide groove 111 always accommodates the guide protrusion 313, thereby guiding each pulley 11 and thus guiding the sliding pedal 1.
[0048] In one possible embodiment, the first inclined plane 311 and the second inclined plane 312 have the same inclination angle. The first inclined plane 311 and the second inclined plane 312 can be set at angles of 15°, 20° and 30° simultaneously, and people can adjust the angle of the first inclined plane 311 or the second inclined plane 312 according to actual production and life needs. The first inclined plane 311 and the second inclined plane 312 can be symmetrically arranged, thereby further improving the movement stability of people performing sliding step training by stepping on the sliding pedal 1.
[0049] In one possible embodiment, each set of reset springs 21 includes a first spring 211 and a second spring 212. The first spring 211 and the second spring 212 can be symmetrically arranged between the base 3 and the sliding pedal 1 with the central axis of the base 3 as the center line. The first spring 211 and the second spring 212 are used to provide motion resistance to the sliding pedal 1 so that the sliding pedal 1 can slide back and forth on the base 3 without detaching from the base 3.
[0050] In one possible embodiment, both the sliding pedal 1 and the base 3 are provided with a first mounting rod 4, which is used to fix the first spring. The sliding pedal 1 and the base 3 can be used to fix the two ends of the first mounting rod 4 respectively.
[0051] Optionally, one end of the first tension spring 211 is connected to the first mounting rod 4 on the sliding pedal 1, and the other end of the first tension spring 211 is connected to the first mounting rod 4 on the base 3. The two ends of the first tension spring 211 can be fixedly connected to the sliding pedal 1 and the base 3 respectively, or the two ends of the first tension spring 211 can be detachably connected to the sliding pedal 1 and the base 3 respectively.
[0052] Optionally, a second mounting rod 5 is provided on both the sliding pedal 1 and the base 3. The second mounting rod 5 is used to fix the second spring. The sliding pedal 1 and the base 3 can be used to fix the two ends of the second mounting rod 5 respectively.
[0053] Optionally, one end of the second tension spring 212 is connected to the second mounting rod 5 on the sliding pedal 1, and the other end of the second tension spring 212 is connected to the second mounting rod 5 on the base 3. The two ends of the second tension spring 212 can be fixedly connected to the sliding pedal 1 and the base 3 respectively, or the two ends of the second tension spring 212 can be detachably connected to the sliding pedal 1 and the base 3 respectively.
[0054] In one possible embodiment, the first mounting rod 4 on the sliding pedal 1 and the second mounting rod 5 on the sliding pedal 1 are symmetrically arranged, and the first mounting rod 4 on the base 3 and the second mounting rod 5 on the base 3 are symmetrically arranged.
[0055] Optionally, the first mounting rod 4 and the second mounting rod 5 on the sliding pedal 1 can be symmetrically arranged with the central axis of the base 3 as the center line. This can further improve the stability of people's movement when performing sliding step training by stepping on the sliding pedal 1.
[0056] In one possible embodiment, each tension spring is detachably connected at both ends to the sliding pedal 1 and the base 3, respectively. The reset tension spring 21 on the stepper can be a replaceable tension spring structure, allowing users to choose springs with different elasticities based on their actual training intensity. When users want to increase their training intensity, they can switch to a spring with higher elasticity; when users want to decrease their training intensity, they can switch to a spring with lower elasticity.
