Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of treadmills, and more particularly to a one-click folding structure for the upright column and control console, and a treadmill thereof. Background Technology

[0002] As a relatively large piece of exercise equipment, foldable treadmills have always been a hot research topic in treadmill development in order to reduce their storage size.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN215841411U discloses a folding treadmill in which the handrail and control console are integrated. The two sides of the control console are hinged to the uprights. When the control console is flipped to a horizontal position, a limiting structure is used to limit the control console and the uprights. The limiting structure includes a threaded hole on the uprights, a mounting plate with a limiting hole extending downward from the lower end of the control console, and a screw knob that passes through the mounting plate and is screwed into the threaded hole.

[0004] The installation plate and column require multiple turns of the screw knob in both directions to achieve both limiting and unlocking, which takes a long time. In addition, the screw knob is exposed in the field of vision, which affects the aesthetics of the treadmill and there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The existing structures for locking or unlocking the console and column have drawbacks such as long operation time and overall exposure affecting aesthetics. The primary objective of this utility model is to provide a one-click folding structure for the column and console that improves aesthetics and facilitates quick operation.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a solution through the following technical method: A one-click folding structure for a column and a control panel includes a control panel. Each side of the control panel is rotatably connected to the upper end of a column via a pivot. The lower end of the control panel has an upwardly recessed groove on the side away from the running platform. The upper end of the column is inserted into the groove and rotatably connected to the side wall of the groove via a pivot. The side of the groove away from the running platform has a horizontal opening that allows the control panel to be folded up to be in line with the column. A socket is provided on the side of the column away from the horizontal opening. A pin is telescopically provided on the side of the groove away from the horizontal opening, which is inserted into the socket when the control panel is folded down to a preset working angle. The lower end of the control panel has a clearance groove communicating with the groove. A lever is vertically downward provided on the end of the pin away from the horizontal opening, extending into the clearance groove.

[0007] With the above solution, the rotating connection structure between the column and the control console, as well as the mating structure between the pin and the socket, are all hidden in the groove. From the outside, only a part of the lever is visible, and the lever is located below the control console. Compared with the existing structure, the aesthetics are improved. By simply moving the lever back and forth, the control console and the column can be locked and unlocked with one click. Operators can quickly lock or unlock the control console and the column, significantly improving the ease of operation.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing tube is fixed in the groove for the insertion of a pin, a limiting ring is protruding from the pin, the fixing tube is located between the push block and the limiting ring, and an elastic element is provided on the outer sleeve of the pin to elastically abut against the limiting ring and the fixing tube respectively and to drive the pin to extend towards the insertion hole.

[0009] The advantage of using the above solution and setting up the elastic element is that the control panel is only in the limit state with the column when it is in use, that is, the pin and the socket are in the plugged state. The elastic element can ensure the stability of the pin and socket plugged state. Secondly, even if the pin is accidentally dislodged from the socket by a sudden external force, it will automatically plug back into the socket under the reset action of the elastic element. And when the control panel switches from the storage state to the use state, the pin can also automatically plug in after being aligned with the socket.

[0010] Preferably, the end of the pin near the socket is shaped like a frustum with the tip pointing outwards.

[0011] Using the above scheme, the frustum-shaped design facilitates the insertion of the pin into the socket.

[0012] Preferably, the control panel has handrails protruding from both ends facing the running platform, and a control panel is rotatably mounted in the middle of the end of the control panel away from the handrails. A damping structure is provided between the control panel and the control panel, which requires a preset torque to drive the control panel to rotate.

[0013] Preferably, the control panel has recessed angle fitting grooves on both sides, and the middle of the end of the control panel away from the armrest has a recessed fitting groove for the two sides of the control panel to be inserted. The two ends of the fitting groove are provided with angle limiting shafts that are inserted into the angle fitting grooves. The damping structure is damping oil filled between the angle limiting shafts and the angle fitting grooves.

[0014] Using the above solution, the control panel needs to apply a preset torque under the damping effect of the damping oil to flip relative to the console. No additional locking structure is required, making it easy to operate. When the console is folded relative to the column, simply rotate the control panel to make the control panel, console, and column form a straight line. The control panel is located between the column and the armrest, achieving the optimal storage volume.

[0015] Preferably, the angle limiting shaft includes an optical shaft and two limiting protrusions that are circumferentially and evenly spaced around the outer ring wall of the optical shaft. The angle mating groove includes a circular groove and two mating protrusions that are circumferentially and evenly spaced around the inner ring wall of the circular groove. The two limiting protrusions and the two mating protrusions are arranged in a cross-interlocking configuration.

[0016] Using the above scheme, the above settings enable the control panel to rotate relative to the console within a preset angle.

[0017] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a treadmill, including a running platform and uprights disposed on both sides of the front end of the running platform. The uprights can be unfolded and limited relative to the running platform or flipped and folded towards the running platform after being unlocked. A control console is disposed between the upper ends of the two uprights, and a one-click folding structure for the uprights and the control console is provided between the uprights and the control console.

[0018] With the above solution, when the upright column is folded and stored relative to the treadmill, the control console, upright column, and control panel are in a straight line, significantly improving the storage efficiency.

[0019] This utility model has significant technical advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solutions: the rotating connection structure between the column and the control console, as well as the mating structure between the pin and the socket, are all hidden in the groove. From the outside, only a partial lever can be seen, and it is located below the control console. Compared with the existing structure, the aesthetics are improved. By simply moving the lever back and forth, the control console and the column can be locked and unlocked with one key. Operators can quickly lock or unlock the control console and the column, and the ease of operation is significantly improved. Attached Figure Description
