[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of treadmill technology, and more particularly to multi-function treadmills. [Background technology]
[0002] Treadmills are a common piece of exercise equipment in homes and gyms, and are now the simplest and most widely used piece of home exercise equipment.
[0003] Since early treadmills did not have a massage function, treadmills with massage functions have appeared in the industry, such as the massage treadmill disclosed in patent document CN215653647U, which has massage protrusions on the surface of the running belt of the treadmill to massage the soles of the user's feet and play a role in health management.
[0004] However, since the massaging protrusions are provided on the surface of the running belt, the user is constantly exposed to the action of the protrusions when using such a treadmill, making it unsuitable for high-speed running. Although the massaging protrusions are primarily suited to low-speed walking to relieve fatigue, they are prone to damaging the user's feet when running at high speeds. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a multi-functional treadmill that can be used on both sides, one side of which is used for normal running exercise, and the other side of which has a running board with massage protrusions, which can be used when the user needs to be massaged to relieve fatigue.

[Effects of the Invention]
[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention is a double-sided treadmill, one side of which is used for normal running, and when foot fatigue needs to be alleviated, the treadmill can be turned over for use. After being turned over, the massaging protrusions help relieve foot fatigue. The structure is simple and the use is convenient. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0017] [Figure 1] 1 is a schematic diagram of the present invention. [Figure 2] 10 is a schematic diagram of another installation form of the support leg of the present invention; [Figure 3] 2 is a side view of the second running board according to the present invention; FIG. [Figure 4] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the present invention. [Figure 5] Enlarged schematic diagram of area D in Figure 4 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0018] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. Referring to Figures 1 to 5, the multi-function treadmill comprises a treadmill frame 1, a front roller 11 attached to the front end of the treadmill frame 1, and a rear roller 12 attached to the rear end of the treadmill frame 1, the front roller 11 is driven to rotate by a motor 13 provided at the front end of the treadmill frame 1, a running belt 14 is wound around the front roller 11 and the rear roller 12, and a head housing 15 is provided at the front end of the treadmill to cover related internal parts (including the motor).
[0019] In this embodiment, a first running board 2 and a second running board 3 are attached to a treadmill frame 1. The first running board 2 serves as a first exercise surface on which the user steps when running and is placed flat on the front side of the treadmill frame 1, and the second running board 3 serves as a second exercise surface on which the user steps when walking and is placed flat on the back side of the treadmill frame 1. The first running board 2 and the second running board 3 can be fastened together using fasteners, but other fastening methods are also possible.
[0020] As shown in Figure 3, a massaging layer 4 is attached to the second running board 3 and is laid flat on the surface of the second running board 3. Specifically, the massaging layer 4 is fixed to the second running board 3 by one or more of adhesive, fasteners, and snap-fitting.
[0021] The massaging layer 4 is provided with a plurality of massaging protrusions 41. In one option, the protrusions 41 are spherical and are integrally molded with the massaging layer 4. The massaging layer 4 can be made of plastic.
[0022] As an option, the protrusions 41 are evenly distributed on the outer surface of the massaging layer 4 .
[0023] Unlike typical treadmills that can only be used on one side, the support legs of the treadmill must also be modified accordingly to allow for double-sided use. To this end, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a number of first support legs 5 extending upward and a number of second support legs 6 extending downward are attached to the front end of the treadmill frame 1. When the front of the treadmill is facing upward, the second support legs 6 come into contact with the ground, and when the back of the treadmill is facing upward, the first support legs 5 come into contact with the ground.
[0024] As an option, to improve the stability of the support, both the first support leg 5 and the second support leg 6 are arranged at an incline, with the inclination direction being such that their mounting positions are inclined towards the front end of the treadmill.
[0025] In this embodiment, the head housing 15 is provided with a plurality of through holes that fit the first support legs 5, and the first support legs 5 are drilled into the through holes.
[0026] Regarding the first mounting method of the support legs, the outer ends of the first support legs 5 are exposed to the outside of the head housing 15, so that after the treadmill is turned upside down, the first support legs 5 can effectively play a supporting role and prevent the head housing 15 from contacting the ground. Meanwhile, the second support legs 6 may adopt the same design as conventional support legs, or may adopt a foldable or detachable mounting method to be attached to the treadmill frame 1, thereby reducing the packaging height of the treadmill.
[0027] In the second support leg mounting method, the outer end surface of the first support leg 5 is flush with the outer surface of the head housing 15 where the through-hole is formed. A support leg cover 51 is attached to the outer end of the first support leg 5. The support leg cover 51 is exposed to the outside of the head housing 15, so that after the treadmill is turned upside down, the first support leg 5 effectively performs a supporting role and prevents the head housing 15 from coming into contact with the ground. At the same time, after the support leg cover 51 is removed during packaging, the first support leg 5 does not protrude outward from the head housing 15, which does not affect the packaging height and is aesthetically pleasing. The support leg cover is removable during packaging for shipping (as shown in FIG. 1, the first support leg cannot be seen in FIG. 1 due to the head housing; for the first support leg, see FIGS. 2 to 4). As an option, the support leg cover 51 may be made of rubber. The second support leg 6 may adopt the same design as a conventional support leg, or adopt a foldable or removable mounting method and be attached to the treadmill frame 1 to reduce the packaging height of the treadmill.
[0028] In this embodiment, a plurality of third support legs 7 extending upward and a plurality of fourth support legs 8 extending downward are attached to the rear end of the treadmill frame 1, and when the front of the treadmill is facing upward, the fourth support legs 8 come into contact with the ground, and when the back of the treadmill is facing upward, the third support legs 7 come into contact with the ground.
[0029] The third support leg 7 and the fourth support leg 8 may be fixedly attached to the treadmill frame 1 or may be foldably or removably attached to the treadmill frame 1 .
[0030] As an option, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the first support leg 5, second support leg 6, third support leg 7 and fourth support leg 8 may each be provided on the left and right sides of the treadmill.
[0031] The above embodiments are merely for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that those skilled in the art may still modify the technical solutions described in the above embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features thereof, and such modifications or substitutions shall not deviate from the essence of the corresponding technical solutions and the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
