[0057] The technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0058] Please refer to Figures 1-3. This application provides the following technical solutions:

[0059] The hip thrust trainer includes a main support unit 1, which serves as the fixed support structure for this training and can be placed on the ground. The main support unit 1 includes a base frame 11, side frames 12, and a seat cushion frame 13. The base frame 11 is a horizontally extending frame, approximately "T"-shaped overall, composed of mutually perpendicular longitudinal and transverse sections. The side frames 12 are located at the connection between the longitudinal and transverse sections, extending upwards and connecting to the base frame 11 at their bottom ends. For ease of description, the length direction of the base frame 11 is considered the transverse section, with the longitudinal section located at one end of the transverse section. The seat cushion frame 13 is fixedly connected to the transverse section of the base frame 11, located in the middle area of ​​the transverse section, and a seat cushion is provided on the seat cushion frame 13. A back support unit 2 is provided on the side frame 12. The back support unit 2 includes a back pad frame 21 and a back support member 22, wherein the back pad frame 21 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the side frame 12; the back support member 22 is located on the side of the back pad frame 21 facing the user, and the back support member 22 is made of an elastic pad. A counterweight unit 3 is linked to the back pad frame 21 of the back support unit 2 to provide counterweight to the back pad frame 21 during exercise.

[0060] With this design, the user sits on the cushion during exercise, with their back against the back support 22 and their feet resting on suitable support positions. During exercise, the user lifts their hips and abdomen upwards, while their shoulders and back exert force against the back support 22, causing the back support 22 to rotate the backrest frame 21. Then, the user relaxes, returning to the initial seated position, and repeats this process. Because the backrest frame 21 and the weight unit 3 are linked, the user experiences a load when applying force to the backrest frame 21, which enhances the training effect.

[0061] Based on the above implementation scheme, and considering the convenience for users to apply force during exercise, this scheme also includes a limiting unit 4. The limiting unit 4 is connected to the back support frame 21, and extends to the side of the back support 22 facing the user. The limiting unit 4 mainly limits the front of the user's abdomen, allowing the user to push the limiting unit 4 from bottom to top through the abdomen to drive the back support frame 21 to move, and also providing the user with more points of force application.

[0062] The limiting unit 4 includes a fixed arm 41 and a movable arm 42. The fixed arm 41 is located on one side of the back support unit 2, with one end fixedly connected to the back pad frame 21. One end of the movable arm 42 is rotatably connected to the back pad frame 21 or the fixed arm 41, and the other end extends towards the back support member 22. For ease of structural design, this solution uses a structure where the movable arm 42 and the fixed arm 41 are rotatably connected. The movable arm 42 is a bent frame structure, including a connecting part and a limiting part. The connecting part is rotatably connected to the fixed arm 41; the limiting part is fixedly connected to the connecting part, and the limiting part extends to the side of the back support member 22 facing the user. A positioning component 43 is provided between the fixed arm 41 and the movable arm 42, which can fix the position of the movable arm 42.

[0063] The movable arm 42 is approximately "L" shaped, and the part that bends toward the back support 22 is the limiting part. A roller 44 and a handle 45 are respectively provided on the limiting part. The roller 44 is an elastic roller that is rotatably connected to the lower side of the limiting part. There are two handles 45, which are symmetrically arranged on the upper side of the limiting part.

[0064] With this design, the user first releases the positioning component 43 from the movable arm 42, raises the movable arm 42, and then sits on the seat cushion with their back against the back support unit 2. After adjusting the sitting posture, the user lowers the movable arm 42, bringing the roller 44 close to the abdomen, and then uses the positioning component 43 to lock the position of the movable arm 42. Then, the user can begin exercising.

[0065] During exercise, the user pushes the roller 44 upward with their abdomen. Because the relative position of the movable arm 42 and the fixed arm 41 is locked at this time, the movable arm 42 is pushed and drives the fixed arm 41 to move. The fixed arm 41 then transmits this movement force to the back pad frame 21, thus making the user's buttocks, waist and abdomen exert force in a coordinated movement, which can achieve comprehensive training of muscles in multiple parts of the body.

[0066] Building upon the aforementioned points, users can also grip the handles with both hands at 45 degrees, thus enhancing the overall training effect on arm and grip strength.

[0067] Based on the above implementation scheme, the positioning component 43 can be implemented in various ways. This scheme provides one specific structural form. The positioning component 43 used in this scheme includes an arc-shaped positioning plate 431. The lower end of the positioning plate 431 is fixedly connected to the fixed arm 41. The positioning plate 431 has several positioning holes. The center of the positioning plate 431 is oriented towards the back pad frame 21. A sliding groove is provided on the movable arm 42. The positioning plate 431 passes through the sliding groove and is slidably connected to the movable arm 42. Two pulleys are provided on both sides of the sliding groove corresponding to the positioning plate 431. The positioning plate 431 slides between the two pulleys. A positioning pin is provided corresponding to the positioning hole on the positioning plate 431. The positioning pin passes through the movable arm 42 and can be inserted into the positioning hole of the positioning plate 431.

[0068] A positioning rod 432 is rotatably connected to the side of the movable arm 42 facing the user. A torsion spring is installed at the connection between the positioning rod 432 and the movable arm 42. The middle part of the positioning rod 432 is linked with the positioning pin. When the user pulls the positioning rod 432, the positioning pin is pulled out from the positioning hole of the positioning plate 431, and the movable arm 42 can rotate freely. After the user sits down, he adjusts the position of the movable arm 42 and releases the positioning rod 432. The positioning rod 432 returns to its original position under the action of the torsion spring, and the positioning pin is inserted back into the positioning hole, locking the relative position of the movable arm 42 and the fixed arm 41.

[0069] The linkage between the positioning pin and the positioning rod 432 can take several forms. For example, the positioning pin and the movable arm 42 can be slidably connected, with the positioning rod 432 used to hold them against and push them towards the positioning plate 431. Alternatively, the positioning pin and the movable arm 42 can be slidably connected, with the positioning rod 432 and the positioning pin linked by a linkage. If the positioning pin can be stably inserted into the positioning plate 431, the aforementioned torsion spring can be omitted.

[0070] Based on the above implementation scheme, a buffer 433 is also provided between the fixed arm 41 and the movable arm 42. The buffer 433 is an air spring.

[0071] Based on the above implementation scheme, this scheme provides two different structural forms of the counterweight unit 3, as shown in Figures 1 to 5. The first type of counterweight unit 3 includes a counterweight connector, which is a support rod. The counterweight connector and the fixed arm 41 are fixedly connected. The counterweight connector can be used to hang the barbell plate for counterweight.

[0072] The main support unit 1 also includes a counterweight frame 14, which is connected to the base frame 11 or side frame 12 of the counterweight frame 14. The counterweight frame 14 is used to place the barbell plate for counterweights.

[0073] With this type of counterweight, the counterweight can be completed simply by suspending barbell plates of appropriate weight and number on the counterweight connector. This type of counterweight is relatively simple and takes up little space.

[0074] Based on the above implementation scheme, referring to Figures 6 and 7, unlike the previous counterweight method, the counterweight unit 3 includes a counterweight placement section, which is a vertically arranged box structure fixedly installed on one side of the main support unit 1. Inside the counterweight placement section, a barbell plate assembly is vertically and slidably connected, and the barbell plate assembly is linked to the back support unit 2 via a combination of pulleys and cables. The pulleys corresponding to the back support unit 2 are rotatably positioned at the lower part of the back frame 21.

[0075] This structure, while taking up more space, allows for the application of greater loads. Both of the aforementioned counterweight methods are acceptable, and the choice can be made based on actual needs.

[0076] Based on the above implementation scheme, to obtain a better exercise experience, this training device also includes a foot pedal unit 5 on the base frame 11. The foot pedal unit 5 is used for pedaling with both feet. The foot pedal unit 5 is located on the side of the seat frame 13 away from the backrest frame 21, and is connected to the base frame 11. The foot pedal unit 5 includes a foot pedal 51, which is mounted on the base frame 11 and located on the side of the seat frame 13 away from the backrest frame 21. The horizontal height of the foot pedal 51 is basically the same as the horizontal height of the seat.

[0077] The foot pedal unit 5 allows users to better utilize their leg strength to assist in lifting their buttocks, thus enhancing the training effect on leg muscles on top of the original training.

[0078] Based on the above implementation scheme, referring to Figure 4, the foot pedal 51 of the foot pedal unit 5 is rotatably connected to the base frame 11. A linkage component 52 is provided between the foot pedal 51 and the back cushion frame 21, and the foot pedal 51 is linked to the back cushion frame 21 through the linkage component 52; when the lower end of the back cushion frame 21 rotates downward, the foot pedal 51 moves in a direction away from the seat cushion frame 13.

[0079] Considering the natural changes in body posture during hip thrusting, this design sets the foot pedal 51 as a movable structure rather than a fixed structure. Referring to Figures 2 and 4, the lower part of the foot pedal 51 has two connection points, each rotatably connected to the base frame 11 via a connecting frame, which is approximately "H"-shaped. The connecting assembly 51 includes a push rod, a long rod, one end of which abuts against the connecting frame, and the other end is hinged to a rotating component. The middle of the rotating component is rotatably connected to the base frame 11, and the other end is rotatably connected to the back pad frame 21 via a connecting rod. With this structure, taking the direction shown in Figure 4 as an example, when performing hip thrust exercises, the lower end of the backrest frame 21 rotates upward. At this time, the backrest frame 21 drives the rotating component to rotate counterclockwise through the connecting rod. The push rod is pulled to the right by the rotating component. Because the user's foot is on the foot pedal 51, under the force applied by the human body, the foot pedal 51 moves towards the seat. This movement trend conforms to the natural following movement of the foot position when the human body performs hip thrust exercises, making the user's exercise experience better. At the same time, compared with the design of the foot pedal 51 being fixed, this structure can reduce the exercise load on the ankle when performing hip thrust exercises.
