Description

A double-sided treadmill Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of treadmill technology, and in particular to a double-sided treadmill. Background Technology

[0002] Treadmills are a common type of fitness equipment. Existing treadmills are usually only usable on one side and have relatively limited functions. They are generally divided into treadmills with massage components and treadmills without massage components. For example, the earlier utility model patent document 2024207633127 of the same person is a treadmill with massage components; the earlier utility model patent document CN220443112U of the same person is a treadmill without massage components.

[0003] However, in actual use, the massage component is not suitable for all running conditions. Treadmills with massage components are suitable for low-speed walking, which helps relieve foot fatigue and provides a high level of comfort. Treadmills without massage components are suitable for high- and low-speed running. Existing treadmills cannot meet both needs at the same time, so the inventor has made improvements. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a double-sided treadmill.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A double-sided treadmill, including

[0007] A frame, on which a drive roller and a driven roller are rotatably mounted, the drive roller being driven to rotate by a motor mounted on the frame, and a running belt being wound around the drive roller and the driven roller;

[0009] The second running board, disposed on the frame and surrounded by the running belt, serves as the second running surface of the running platform; and

[0010] A control unit, disposed on the frame or on a component mounted on the frame, is used to identify the forward and reverse states of the treadmill and control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor. When the treadmill is flipped over, the control unit controls the motor to change the driving direction so that the running belt always moves backward on the treadmill.

[0011] In the above scheme, preferably, the control unit includes a controller electrically connected to the motor and a first switch and a second switch electrically connected to the controller, wherein the first switch is used to identify the forward and reverse state of the treadmill, and the second switch is used to control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor.

[0012] In the above scheme, preferably, the first switch is a mercury switch or a gyroscope, and the second switch is a forward / reverse switch.

[0013] In the above scheme, preferably, a gap is left between the first running board and the second running board.

[0014] In the above scheme, preferably, a crossbar fixed to the frame is provided at the gap.

[0015] In the above scheme, preferably, both the first running plate and the second running plate are fixed to the frame.

[0016] In the above scheme, preferably, the second running board is equipped with a massage unit for providing a massage effect.

[0017] In the above scheme, preferably, the massage unit includes a plate fixed on the second running plate and a plurality of protrusions distributed on the plate.

[0018] In the above scheme, preferably, the protrusion is integrally formed on the plate.

[0019] In the above scheme, preferably, the massage unit is a roller embedded in the second running board and rotatably connected to the second running board or the frame.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This utility model treadmill is reversible, with one side having a massage function and the other side not. By flipping the treadmill over, different functions can be achieved to meet the user's two needs. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the second moving surface of this utility model.

[0024] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the layout of the first massage unit of this utility model.

[0025] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the second massage unit layout of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0027] Referring to Figures 1-4, a double-sided treadmill includes a frame 1, which is the frame structure of the treadmill and can be assembled from metal parts. An active roller 2 is rotatably arranged at the front position of the frame 1, and a driven roller 3 is rotatably arranged at the rear position of the frame 1. A running belt 4 is wound around the active roller 2 and the driven roller 3. At the same time, a motor 5 is arranged at the front end of the frame 1. The motor 5 is connected to the active roller 2 for transmission. After the motor 5 is started, it can drive the active roller 2 to rotate, thereby driving the running belt 4 to circulate.

[0028] The transmission connection between motor 5 and drive roller 2 can refer to existing designs, such as using belt drive.

[0029] In this embodiment, a first running board 6 and a second running board 7 are also fixed on the frame 1. The first running board 6 and the second running board 7 are both surrounded by the running belt 4, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Whether the treadmill is in the front or back position, the running belt 4 is located on the outermost side, and the corresponding running board is located below the running belt. The first running board 6 and the second running board 7 mainly play a supporting role.

[0030] When the treadmill is in the forward position, it has a first motion surface; when the treadmill is in the reverse position, it has a second motion surface.

[0031] It should be noted that if only one relatively thick running board is set on the frame 1, then the front part of the running board should be considered as the first running board and the back part as the second running board.

[0032] When two running boards are installed on the frame 1, a gap can be left between the two running boards. A horizontal bar fixed to the frame can be installed in the gap to fill and strengthen the support effect of the running board or to facilitate the fixing of the running board.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first running board 6 is a running board without a massage function, and the second running board 7 is a running board with a massage function. The second running board 7 is provided with a massage unit for performing a massage function, and the massage unit has at least the following two forms:

[0034] As shown in Figure 3, one form is described. In this form, the massage unit includes a plate 81 fixed on the second running plate 7 and a plurality of protrusions 82 distributed on the plate 81. In one embodiment, the protrusions 82 are integrally formed on the plate 81.

[0035] As shown in Figure 4, another form is described. In this form, the massage unit is a roller 83 that is embedded in the second running plate 7 and rotatably connected to the second running plate 7 or the frame 1. The embedding method can be to open a groove on the second running plate 7 for accommodating the massage unit, or to divide the second running plate 7 into multiple independent parts and leave gaps between adjacent independent parts for accommodating the massage unit.

[0036] When the treadmill is in normal use, the running belt usually moves backward. However, if the treadmill is flipped over, the running belt 4 will move forward and cannot be used normally. Therefore, in this embodiment, a control unit is also provided, which is configured on the frame 1 or on a component mounted on the frame 1, to identify the forward and reverse state of the treadmill and control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor.

[0037] The control unit includes a controller electrically connected to the motor and a first switch and a second switch electrically connected to the controller, wherein the first switch is used to identify the forward and reverse states of the treadmill, and the second switch is used to control the forward and reverse rotation of the motor.

[0038] As one option, the first switch is a mercury switch or a gyroscope, and the second switch is a forward / reverse switch.

[0039] After the user flips the treadmill over, the first switch recognizes the flipping signal and sends it back to the controller. The controller then controls the motor to switch between forward and reverse rotation via the second switch, thus ensuring that the running belt moves in a direction suitable for the user regardless of whether the treadmill is in the forward or reverse position.

[0040] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
