[0022] The four corners of the support frame 1 are fixedly installed on the ground. Two fixed frames 11 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the rear of the support frame 1. A fixed shaft 12 is fixedly installed in the middle of the fixed frame 11. Two rotating frames 2, which are used for bearing and rotation, are rotatably connected to the two fixed shafts 12 respectively. Rubber tires 3, which are used to simulate impact on the fitness equipment, are rotatably installed in the middle of one end of the two rotating frames 2.

[0023] The lifting assembly 4, used to raise and lower the rotating frame 2, is fixedly installed in the middle of the front center of the two rotating frames 2. The lifting assembly 4 includes a first fixed bracket 41, a lower clamp 42, a chain 43, an upper clamp 44, a first fixed rod 45, a second fixed rod 46, a push rod 47, and a cylinder 48, which are fixedly connected from bottom to top.

The lower clamp 42 and the upper clamp 44 are symmetrically fixed to the two ends of the chain 43 respectively. The push rod 47 is slidably connected in the cylinder 48. The cylinder 48 can drive the push rod 47 to raise and lower quickly. The push rod 47 sequentially drives the second fixed rod 46, the first fixed rod 45, the upper clamp 44, the chain 43, the lower clamp 42, and the first fixed bracket 41 to raise and lower quickly, thereby driving the two rotating frames 2 and the rubber tire 3 to raise and lower quickly, so as to perform repeated simulated impact tests on the fitness equipment under the rubber tire 3.

[0024] A power system 5 for driving the rubber tire 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of the two rotating frames 2. The power system 5 includes a second fixed bracket 51, a motor 52, a first rotating shaft 53, a main pulley 54, a driven pulley 55, and a second rotating shaft 56. The motor 52, which provides power, is fixedly installed on the middle of the second fixed bracket 51, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the two rotating frames 2 at both ends. The output end of the motor 52 is coaxially connected to the first rotating shaft 53 through a coupling. The main pulley 54 is fixedly installed on the first rotating shaft 53. The main pulley 54 is connected to the driven pulley 55 through a belt. The driven pulley 55 is fixedly installed on the second rotating shaft 56. The second rotating shaft 56 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 2, and the rubber tire 3 is fixedly installed on the second rotating shaft 56. The output end of the motor 52 can sequentially drive the first rotating shaft 53, the main pulley 54, the driven pulley 55, and the second rotating shaft 56 to rotate through the coupling, thereby driving the rubber tire 3 to rotate.

Several counterweight plates 61 are installed on the fixing rods 6. The center hole of the counterweight plate 61 is adapted to the fixing rod 6. By loading counterweight plates 61 of different masses on the fixing rods 6, the impact load under different weight conditions is simulated.

[0026] In an optional embodiment, a PLC control unit 7 is fixedly mounted on the rear of the support frame 1. The PLC control unit 7 is electrically connected to and controls the cylinder 48 and the motor 52 respectively.

[0027] It should be noted that the connection between the air inlet and outlet of cylinder 48 and related control technology can be found in the relevant records of Chinese patent CN220039778U, and will not be repeated here.

[0028] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, place the fitness equipment under the rubber tire 3 and turn on the fitness equipment; A counterweight plate 61 of appropriate mass is placed on the fixed rod 6. Then, the PLC control unit 7 controls the motor 52 and cylinder 48 to start. The output end of the motor 52 drives the first rotating shaft 53, the main pulley 54, the driven pulley 55 and the second rotating shaft 56 to rotate in sequence through the coupling, thereby driving the rubber tire 3 to rotate. The PLC control unit 7 can control the motor 52 and thus control the speed of the rubber tire 3. At the same time, the cylinder 48 drives the push rod 47 to drive the second fixed rod 46, the first fixed rod 45, the upper clamp 44, the chain 43, the lower clamp 42 and the first fixed bracket 41 to rise and fall quickly in sequence. Finally, it drives the two rotating frames 2 and the rubber tire 3 to rise and fall quickly, so as to perform repeated simulated impact tests on the fitness equipment under the rubber tire 3.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
