Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of fitness equipment technology and relates to a dumbbell. Background Technology

[0002] The retractable dumbbell assembly of any weight, referencing the dumbbell disclosed in patent CN112587858B, uses a linear drive mechanism to control the telescopic rod to pass through any number of dumbbell plates, achieving rapid configuration of the entire dumbbell weight. However, this type of dumbbell still has a drawback affecting user experience. Multiple dumbbell plates need to be stacked vertically and equidistantly to ensure the telescopic rod can smoothly pass through the center of the plates. However, the support in the relevant solution lacks a support and limiting structure for the dumbbell plates. When there is a gap between the dumbbell plates and the support, especially when the number of dumbbell plates on the support is reduced, the dumbbell plates are prone to tilting, causing interference during telescopic rod movement and affecting user experience.

[0034] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features described therein can be combined with each other.

[0035] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, horizontal, vertical, etc.) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0037] Due to installation errors and other reasons, the parallel relationship referred to in the embodiments of this utility model may actually be an approximate parallel relationship, and the perpendicular relationship may actually be an approximate perpendicular relationship.

[0038] This embodiment provides a dumbbell, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 As shown, it includes a handle and counterweights 3 located on both sides of the handle, as well as a counterweight adjustment mechanism that enables the handle to be fixedly connected to any set number of counterweights 3.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The handle includes a rotating cylinder 11 and a telescopic rod 12. The rotating cylinder 11 has a hollow straight tubular structure and knurling on its outer circumference for anti-slip purposes. The telescopic rod 12 is inserted into the rotating cylinder 11 along its axial direction. The telescopic rod 12 and the rotating cylinder 11 are in clearance fit, so that the telescopic rod 12 can rotate and move axially relative to the rotating cylinder 11. There are two telescopic rods 12, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the rotating cylinder 11 along its axial direction.

[0040] The counterweight plate 3 has a disc-shaped structure with a set thickness. Its outer shape includes, but is not limited to, circles, squares, polygons, etc. Multiple sets of counterweight plates 3 are arranged in a stacked manner along the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 11. Multiple sets of counterweight plates 3 are respectively arranged at both ends of the axial direction of the rotating cylinder 11. A through hole 31 is opened in the middle of the counterweight plate 3. When the counterweight plate 3 is set, the through hole 31 is located on the axis of the rotating cylinder 11, so that the telescopic rod 12 can pass through the through hole 31 when it moves axially.

[0041] The counterweight adjustment mechanism is set in two sets, located at both ends of the axial direction of the rotating drum 11, respectively, to connect the two sets of counterweight plates 3 on both sides of the rotating drum 11 to the two ends of the rotating drum 11. The counterweight adjustment mechanism includes an end plate 22 and a housing 21. The end plate 22 is fixedly connected to the housing 21, forming a cavity inside. The rotating drum 11 passes through the housing 21 and the end plate 22 in sequence along its axial direction, so that the rotating drum 11 passes through the cavity at the same time. The rotating drum 11 can rotate relative to the housing 21, and at the same time, the rotating drum 11 can also rotate relative to the end plate 22. The outer end face of the end plate 22 abuts against the nearest counterweight plate 3 on its corresponding side.

[0042] You can also refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 14 and Figure 15The counterweight adjustment mechanism also includes a turntable 23, a drive wheel 24, and a gear disc 25 disposed in the cavity. The gear disc 25 is fixedly disposed on the inner end face of the end plate 22, and is coaxial with the inner end face and has a through-hole for the rotating drum 11 or the telescopic rod 12 to pass through. The turntable 23 is coaxially sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating drum 11. The turntable 23 and the rotating drum 11 are fixedly connected to prevent rotation through splines or other means, so that when the rotating drum 11 rotates, it synchronously drives the turntable 23 to rotate. Multiple drive wheels 24 are disposed on the radial side of the outer circumference of the rotating drum 11. The axis of the drive wheel 24 is perpendicular to the axis of the rotating drum 11. More specifically, the plane of rotation of the drive wheel 24 coincides with the axis of the rotating drum 11. The turntable 23 is provided with a slot for the axle of the drive wheel 24 to be engaged in the slot. When the turntable 23 rotates, it synchronously drives the drive wheel 24 to rotate around the axis of the rotating drum 11.

[0043] In some preferred embodiments, the number of drive wheels 24 is set to three or two, and the drive wheels 24 are distributed in a circular array around the axis of the rotating drum 11 to improve the stability of the drive transmission of the drive wheels 24.

[0044] Reference Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 The outer periphery of the drive wheel 24 is configured with a spherical tooth structure. Multiple grooves are arranged sequentially along the circumference on the end face of the toothed disk 25 to form a vortex shape. One or more spherical teeth on the drive wheel 24 form a spherical fit with the multiple grooves. When the drive wheel 24 rotates, the grooves become a track for the spherical teeth to move along the circumference of the toothed disk 25. The track has a first direction and a second direction when it is arranged along the circumference of the toothed disk 25. In this embodiment, the track is divided into multiple parts by the circumferential annular array of the toothed disk 25, including multiple first direction sub-tracks 251 and multiple second direction sub-tracks 252. The first direction sub-tracks 251 and the second direction sub-tracks 252 are connected and arranged sequentially at intervals. The first direction sub-tracks 251 are in the same direction as the circumference of the toothed disk 25. The second direction sub-tracks 252 are inclined outward along the radial direction of the toothed disk 25 relative to the first direction sub-tracks 251. Preferably, there are three first direction sub-tracks 251 and three second direction sub-tracks 252.

[0045] The spherical teeth form a spherical fit with the track. When the drive wheel 24 rotates, the spherical teeth move circumferentially along the track. When the drive wheel 24 moves completely along any first direction track, the drive wheel 24 does not rotate. When the drive wheel 24 moves completely along any second direction track, the drive wheel 24 rotates by a set angle.

[0046] There is no special corresponding relationship between the number of drive wheels 24 and the number of grooves. It is only required that at the same time, multiple drive wheels 24 are respectively engaged at the same position on multiple first direction sub-tracks 251, or respectively engaged at the same position on multiple second direction sub-tracks 252.

[0047] A through groove 111 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 11, and the through groove 111 is connected to the inner side of the rotating cylinder 11. Multiple sets of tooth rows are provided on the outer periphery of the telescopic rod 12. The tooth rows include multiple tooth grooves 121 arranged in an array along the axial direction of the telescopic rod 12. Specifically, the multiple sets of tooth rows are distributed in a circumferential array along the telescopic rod 12, and are used to mesh with multiple drive wheels 24 respectively. Part of the drive wheel 24 passes through the through groove 111, so that the spherical teeth and the tooth grooves 121 form a spherical fit. When the drive wheel 24 rotates, the drive wheel 24 drives the telescopic rod 12 to move axially.

[0048] When setting the weights for the dumbbells, firstly, multiple sets of weight plates 3 are set on both sides of the handle. Preferably, the number of weight plates 3 on both sides of the handle is the same. The user holds the rotating drum 11 and directly drives it to rotate, which drives the rotating disk 23 and the drive wheel 24 to rotate. Furthermore, the rotation of the drive wheel 24 driven by the gear disk 25 drives the telescopic rod 12 to move and extend. By rotating the rotating drum 11 at a set angle, the telescopic rod 12 extends to a set length. The telescopic rod 12 passes through multiple sets of weight plates 3 axially, thereby forming vertical contact support for the passed weight plates 3, so that the dumbbell can be lifted and used.

[0049] To provide users with a clear visual representation of the applied weight, the counterweight adjustment mechanism also includes a counting component, as shown in the reference... Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The counting component includes a counting ring 27, a planetary gear set 271, and a counting gear 231. The counting gear 231 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the turntable 23. The planetary gear set 271 is radially arranged on the outer periphery of the rotating cylinder 11. In this embodiment, the planetary gear set 271 preferably includes multiple planetary gears, which are arranged in a ring array around the rotating cylinder 11. An internal gear ring is provided on the inner periphery of the outer shell 21. The outer sides of the planetary gears mesh with the internal gear ring, and the inner sides mesh with the counting gear 231. Therefore, when the rotation of the rotating cylinder 11 drives the turntable 23 and the counting gear 231 to rotate, it will drive the planetary gears to rotate.

[0050] The counting ring 27 is coaxially fitted around the outer circumference of the rotating cylinder 11 and can rotate relative to it. One axial end of the central shaft of the planetary gear passes through the counting ring 27. Therefore, when the planetary gear rotates, it will also drive the counting ring 27 to rotate synchronously. The counting ring 27 has multiple weight marks arranged in sequence along the circumference on its outer surface. Specifically, they are kilogram symbols. Each kilogram symbol corresponds to different counterweight information. A viewing window is provided at the top of the outer casing 21, through which the user can observe the kilogram symbol at the current position.

[0051] Furthermore, multiple hemispherical stop grooves are arranged in a circumferential annular array on the end face of the gear disk 25. Multiple limiting beads 234 are arranged in a circumferential annular array on the turntable 23 relative to the end face of the gear disk 25. Each limiting bead 234 includes a sleeve and a ball head. One end of the sleeve is fixedly connected to the turntable 23, and the other end of the sleeve is an open structure. The ball head engages with the opening of the sleeve and can move into the sleeve. A spring is provided inside the sleeve to hold the ball head at the opening. The ball head faces the toothed disc 25 and abuts against the end face of the toothed disc 25, pressing the ball head into the sleeve. The circumference formed by the distribution of multiple limiting beads and the circumference formed by the distribution of multiple stop grooves have the same inner diameter. Therefore, when the turntable 23 rotates, the limiting beads 234 rotate along the end face of the toothed disc 25. During the rotation, any ball head will be opposite to any stop groove, causing the ball head to spring into the stop groove. As the turntable 23 continues to rotate, the ball head will disengage from the stop groove and re-engage with the next stop groove in the direction of movement.

[0052] In this preferred embodiment, the spacing between adjacent tooth grooves 121 in the toothed row is equal to the thickness of a single counterweight plate 3. Thus, when the telescopic rod 12 moves axially through the spacing of a pair of tooth grooves 121, the extension length of the telescopic rod 12 can carry an additional counterweight plate 3. At the same time, the drive wheel 24 can travel along the toothed disc 25 sequentially over the distance of an adjacent first direction sub-track 251 plus a second direction sub-track 252. The turntable 23 can rotate relative to the toothed disc 25 by an angle between two adjacent stop slots, so that the limiting ball 234 moves from one stop slot to the next stop slot to engage.

[0053] By setting up the counting component, when the user sets the counterweight 3 on the operating handle, the rotating drum 11 rotates, and the linked counting ring 27 rotates synchronously at the corresponding angle to display the current kilogram value symbol in real time on the window. Thus, the user can obtain the weight information of the counterweight 3 currently mounted on the handle by observing the window. In addition, during the operation, the action of the limiting ball 234 and the stop groove will also generate corresponding tactile feedback on the handle, allowing the user to perceive it.

[0054] To ensure the tight axial stacking of multiple sets of counterweight plates 3 and prevent the counterweight plates 3 from falling off during use, a locking block is also provided in this embodiment, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 The locking block includes a first locking block 331 and multiple second locking blocks 332, wherein the first locking block 331 is used for connecting the end plate 22 and the counterweight 3, and the second locking blocks 332 are used for connecting adjacent counterweights 3.

[0055] Specifically, the counterweight 3 has a crescent-shaped notch 32 on its circumference. In this embodiment, the top and bottom of the counterweight 3 are respectively provided with notches 32. The inner wall of the notch 32 is recessed and a slot is provided. A pin is inserted through the counterweight 3 along its axial direction. The pin passes through the slot. The second locking block 332 has a crescent-shaped structure. The second locking block 332 cooperates with the notch 32 of the counterweight 3 to make the counterweight 3 form a complete circle. An insert is provided on the outer wall of the second locking block 332. The insert has a semi-circular opening that cooperates with the outer periphery of the pin. The insert is inserted into the slot and, in conjunction with the limiting pin, achieves a tight fit between the second locking block 332 and the counterweight 3. The second locking block 332 is provided with a slot and a plate in sequence. When multiple sets of counterweights 3 are set, the slot on the current second locking block 332 is engaged with the plate of the second locking block 332 on the adjacent previous counterweight 3, and the plate on the current second locking block 332 is engaged with the slot on the second locking block 332 on the adjacent next counterweight 3, thus achieving a tight connection between multiple sets of counterweights 3.

[0056] The end plate 22 is also provided with a crescent-shaped notch 32 in the circumferential direction. One side of the first locking block 331 is inserted into the notch 32 and tightly fitted with the end plate 22. The other side is provided with a locking plate for inserting into the slot of the second locking block 332 on the nearest adjacent counterweight 3, so as to realize the tight fit between the counterweight 3 and the end plate 22.

[0057] To provide stable placement for the dumbbells and facilitate weight adjustment by the user, this embodiment also includes a base 4, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 16 The handle and counterweight 3 are detachably placed on the base 4.

[0058] In order to ensure that the counterweights 3 are placed neatly and closely on the base 4, elastic support components 43 are provided on both sides of the base 4 to provide axial thrust to the counterweights 3 on both sides, so that the multiple counterweights 3 are arranged neatly.

[0059] The elastic support assembly 43 includes open compartments 431 respectively disposed on both sides of the base 4. An elastic structure is disposed in the open compartment 431, so that the spring block 432 and the open compartment 431 form a movable connection. The elastic structure includes a connecting post disposed along the axial direction of the counterweight 3 on the inner side of the spring block 432. A compression spring 435 is coaxially sleeved on the connecting post. When the spring block 432 is inserted into the open compartment 431, the spring block 432 and the open compartment 431 form a sliding fit, and the two ends of the compression spring 435 abut against or connect to the inner wall of the spring block 432 and the open compartment 431 respectively, so that the spring block 432 can move along the axial direction of the counterweight 3 under the elastic force of the compression spring 435.

[0060] Multiple counterweight plates 3 are stacked on the base 4. One end of the spring block 432 abuts against the outermost counterweight plate 3. The compressed spring 435 provides an inward pushing force to the multiple counterweight plates 3 through the spring block 432, so that the multiple counterweight plates 3 are kept vertically and neatly arranged.

[0061] Furthermore, a limiting hole 4311 is provided on the inner wall of the open chamber 431. A limiting bolt 433 is inserted into the limiting hole 4311. The head of the limiting bolt 433 is located on one axial side of the limiting hole 4311, and the rod is located on the other axial side. The rod and the connecting column form a coaxial threaded connection. The outer diameter of the head of the limiting bolt 433 is larger than the inner diameter of the limiting hole 4311. Thus, its head is limited by the limiting hole 4311, so that the spring block 432 and the limiting bolt 433 will not completely detach from the open chamber 431.

[0062] By rotating the limiting bolt 433 to adjust the axial distance of its head relative to the connecting column, the movable range of the spring block 432 relative to the opening chamber 431 can be adjusted, so that when different numbers of counterweight plates 3 are set on the base 4, the thrust and range of motion of the spring block 432 can be adjusted adaptively.

[0063] The end of the connecting column is fixedly connected to a threaded part 434, which has an internal thread to achieve threaded connection support between the limit bolt 433 and the connecting column.

[0064] The top of the spring block 432 is provided with a slope 4321. When multiple counterweights 3 are placed on the base 4, the slope 4321 can abut against the bottom of the outer counterweight 3, guiding the movement of the spring block 432 and reducing jamming.

[0065] In some embodiments, the counterweight adjustment mechanism is further provided with a counterweight half piece 28, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8The counterweight half plate 28 has a crescent-shaped structure and is connected to the lower side of the outer shell 21 with its opening facing upward. The base 4 is provided with a groove 41 that cooperates with the counterweight half plate 28. The two ends of the counterweight half plate 28 abut against the outer shell 21 to prevent rotation and limit its movement. The weight of the counterweight half plate 28 can be set to half the weight of the counterweight plate 3.

[0066] A hook 281 is provided at the center of the counterweight half plate 28 and extends upward. An opening is provided at the bottom of the outer shell 21 for the hook 281 to extend upward into the cavity. Multiple flanges 233 are arranged in a circumferential array on the outer periphery of the turntable 23. During the rotation of the turntable 23, the flanges 233 can move to directly below the hook 281. When the dumbbell is lifted, the dumbbell half plate can be lifted together by the cooperation of the flanges 233 and the hook 281.

[0067] In some preferred embodiments, the number of flanges 233 may be set to three, see reference. Figure 14 Furthermore, when adjusting the counterweight, with a single counterweight piece 3 as a unit, the counterweight on one side of the handle can be selected as one unit, 1.5 units, two units, and then the weight is accumulated in increments of 0.5 units.

[0068] In other preferred embodiments, the number of flanges 233 may also be four, see reference. Figure 15 .

[0069] The weight adjustment mechanism also includes a locking disc 26, used to lock the turntable 23 when the dumbbell is lifted, preventing the turntable 23 from rotating. For details, please refer to... Figure 9 The locking disc 26 is disposed in the cavity, and a top spring 261 is disposed between the locking disc 26 and the end plate 22. The two ends of the top spring 261 are connected to the locking disc 26 and the end plate 22 respectively. The top spring 261 is arranged in a vertical direction and provides a vertical elastic force to the locking disc 26.

[0070] The locking disc 26 is arranged around the outer periphery of the turntable 23. The outer peripheral wall of the turntable 23 is provided with ring teeth 232. The inner side wall of the locking disc 26 facing the turntable 23 is provided with anti-rotation teeth 262, and the anti-rotation teeth 262 are located above the turntable 23. When the locking disc 26 is not subjected to other external forces, the locking disc 26 is moved downward by the elastic force of the top spring 261, so that the anti-rotation teeth 262 engage with the ring teeth 232 downward. Thus, the locking disc 26 has the effect of preventing the turntable 23 from rotating.

[0071] A top rod extends downward from the lower end of the locking disc 26. An opening is provided at the bottom of the outer casing 21 for the top rod to extend downward. A top block 42 is also provided at a corresponding position in the vertical direction on the base 4. When the dumbbell is placed on the base 4, the top rod and the top block 42 form a direct abutment. The top block 42 pushes the top rod upward, causing the locking disc 26 to move upward. At this time, the anti-rotation tooth 262 and the ring tooth 232 disengage, and the counterweight can be adjusted arbitrarily when the dumbbell is placed on the base 4.

[0072] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
