Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of elliptical machine technology, and in particular to a cable routing structure for elliptical machines. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing awareness of fitness among the general public and the booming development of the home and commercial fitness equipment market, elliptical trainers, as a popular aerobic exercise machine, are constantly evolving in terms of functionality and intelligence. Modern elliptical trainers are no longer simple mechanical structures, but rather complex electrical and control units integrating electronic dials, heart rate monitoring sensors, electric incline adjustment, multiple preset training programs, and data interaction modules. The introduction of these electronic components significantly enriches the user's exercise experience, enabling the equipment to provide real-time feedback, personalized training guidance, and data synchronization with mobile terminals or cloud services. To achieve these functions, various types of cables need to be laid inside the equipment, including but not limited to power cords, sensor signal lines, motor control lines, and data communication lines. These act like the equipment's "neural network," responsible for the stable and accurate transmission of power and signals between various functional components, forming the physical basis for the equipment's intelligence.

[0003] The increased functionality of existing elliptical trainers has significantly increased the complexity of their internal wiring. In traditional elliptical trainer designs, cables are often laid directly inside or outside the main frame, or roughly secured with simple cable ties or buckles. This rather haphazard wiring method can lead to inconsistent wiring paths and longer operation times during the equipment manufacturing and assembly phases, affecting production efficiency and consistency. More importantly, during long-term use, the continuous vibration generated by the equipment operation, the mechanical movement caused by user operation, and potential interference during routine cleaning and maintenance can all expose or poorly secured cables to wear, stretching, or even snagging, leading to unstable signal transmission, electrical connection failures, and other malfunctions. This not only affects the reliability and lifespan of the equipment but may also increase the frequency and cost of after-sales maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a wiring structure for an elliptical machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wiring structure for an elliptical machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution to the above technical problems: a cable routing structure for an elliptical machine, comprising an elliptical machine main frame, two mounting bases fixed on the elliptical machine main frame, a hollow tube inserted between the two mounting bases for accommodating and protecting cables, and multiple cable fixing points provided inside the elliptical machine main frame for fixing the ends of the cables.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the hollow tube is made of flame-retardant PVC material, with a smooth inner wall and a circular or elliptical cross-section.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the hollow tube is fixedly installed in the mounting base by multiple pipe clamps.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a protective sleeve is provided at the end of the hollow tube. The protective sleeve is made of elastic rubber material and has a wire hole in the center for the cable to pass through.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention provides a dedicated, protected wiring channel for various cables, such as power lines, sensor lines, and control signal lines, through a hollow tube pre-embedded inside the mounting base. During installation and maintenance, operators simply pass the cables through the hollow tube to complete the main wiring work, standardizing and regulating the wiring operation, shortening wiring time during production and assembly, and improving production efficiency. This design also facilitates later maintenance, eliminating the need for large-scale equipment disassembly, significantly reducing maintenance difficulty and time costs. Furthermore, by concealing the cables within the hollow tube, not only is the product's aesthetics enhanced, but more importantly, it effectively prevents damage such as wear and tear that could occur from exposed cables, thus improving the reliability and lifespan of the equipment.

[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments: Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional view of the overall structure of this utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall front view of the present invention; Figure 3 This is a top view of the overall structure of this utility model; Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of the mounting base of this utility model; Figure 5 for Figure 4 Enlarged view of the structure at point A in the middle.

[0012] The attached diagram lists the components represented by each number as follows: 1. Mounting base; 2. Hollow tube; 3. Cable fixing point; 4. Elliptical machine main frame; 5. Pipe clamp; 6. Protective sleeve. Detailed Implementation

[0013] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0014] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a cable routing structure for an elliptical machine, including an elliptical machine main frame 4, two mounting bases 1 fixed on the elliptical machine main frame 4, and a hollow tube 2 inserted between the two mounting bases 1 for accommodating and protecting cables. Multiple cable fixing points 3 are provided inside the elliptical machine main frame 4 for fixing the ends of the cables. This utility model provides a dedicated and protected wiring channel for various cables such as power lines, sensor lines, and control signal lines by pre-embedding the hollow tube 2 inside the mounting base 1. During installation and maintenance, operators only need to pass the cable through the hollow tube 2 to complete the main wiring work. The cable fixing point ensures that the cable end remains stable at the connection point, preventing the joint from loosening due to equipment vibration. This achieves standardization and normalization of wiring operations, shortens wiring time during production assembly, and improves production efficiency. At the same time, this design also facilitates later maintenance, eliminating the need for large-scale disassembly of equipment, significantly reducing maintenance difficulty and time costs. Furthermore, by hiding the cable inside the hollow tube 2, not only is the aesthetics of the product improved, but more importantly, it effectively prevents damage such as wear and tear that may be caused by exposed cables, enhancing the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0015] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that the hollow tube 2 is made of flame-retardant PVC material with a smooth inner wall and a circular or elliptical cross-section. The use of flame-retardant PVC ensures that in extreme situations such as electrical faults, the hollow tube 2 itself will not become a channel for fire spread, providing additional safety. The smooth inner wall design greatly reduces the friction experienced by cables during installation, making wiring easier and smoother, and also avoiding the risk of cable sheath damage due to friction over long-term use. The circular or elliptical cross-section shape makes the most efficient use of the internal space of the tube, accommodating more or thicker cables within the same cross-sectional area, and also provides room for slight movement of the cables within the tube, preventing forced compression.

[0016] Further as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, it is worth noting that the hollow tube 2 is fixedly installed in the mounting base 1 by multiple tube clamps 5; the tube clamps 5 firmly lock the hollow tube 2 in the predetermined position, effectively suppressing the negative impact of vibration and preventing the hollow tube 2 from sagging or displacing due to gravity or external pulling.

[0017] Further as Figure 5 As shown, it is worth noting that the hollow tube 2 is equipped with a protective sleeve 6 at its end. The protective sleeve 6 is made of elastic rubber material and has a wire hole in the center for the cable to pass through. The protective sleeve 6 is installed at each end outlet of the hollow tube. Its elastic rubber material allows it to fit tightly against the cable passing through, while also adapting to the needs of different wire diameters. When the cable passes through the wire hole of the protective sleeve 6, the protective sleeve 6 forms a flexible transition interface between the cable and the tube opening, solving the potential problem of cable wear. During the operation of the equipment, continuous micro-friction and vibration will occur between the cable and the tube opening, protecting the cable without causing a cutting effect. At the same time, the protective sleeve 6 also plays a good role in dust and moisture prevention, preventing external impurities and moisture from entering the inside of the pipe through the tube opening, providing a cleaner and drier working environment for the cable.

[0018] In summary, this utility model provides a dedicated and protected wiring channel for various cables, such as power cables, sensor cables, and control signal cables, through the hollow tube 2 pre-embedded inside the mounting base 1. The cable fixing point ensures that the cable ends remain stable at the connection point, preventing the joints from loosening due to equipment vibration. This achieves standardization and normalization of wiring operations, shortens wiring time during production and assembly, and improves production efficiency. At the same time, this design also facilitates later maintenance, eliminating the need for large-scale disassembly of equipment, significantly reducing maintenance difficulty and time costs. Furthermore, by hiding the cables inside the hollow tube 2, not only is the aesthetics of the product improved, but more importantly, it effectively prevents damage such as wear and tear that may occur due to exposed cables, enhancing the reliability and service life of the equipment.
