Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the field of fitness equipment technology, and particularly relates to a sliding machine.

BACKGROUND

Slide fitness machine is a trajectory fitness device that provides users with the ability to slide their feet back and forth. Due to its simple operation, ability to assist users in applying force, no burden on their legs and feet, and the benefits of exercise, it is widely liked by users of all ages.

The existing sliding machines generally include a base, on which a guide rail is set, and a pedal is set on the guide rail, which slides along the guide rail. An elastic device is installed between the pedal and the base, which is used to generate a certain resistance when the pedal slides, optimizing the performance of the sliding machine. However, in the existing technology, the connection between the elastic device and the pedal of the sliding machine is connected by a connecting frame, which makes the structure of the sliding machine complex and the manufacturing cost high.

SUMMARY

The present invention provides a sliding machine aimed at solving the problems of complex structure and high manufacturing cost of sliding machines in the prior art.

In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

• • A sliding machine, comprising a base and a guide rail set on the base, wherein a pedal assembly is set on the guide rail, the pedal assembly is slidably connected to the guide rail, and the pedal assembly is configured to slide along the guide rail;
  • an elastic assembly is configured between the pedal assembly and the base for providing damping force to the pedal assembly, the elastic assembly includes an elastic member, one end of which is set on the base, the elastic assembly also includes a connecting shaft, and the other end of the elastic member is set on the pedal assembly through the connecting shaft, the elastic member uses a frictional force between the connecting shaft and the pedal assembly, by tightening the connecting shaft, to position an axial position of the connecting shaft.

In a further improved solution, the pedal assembly is provided with an installation groove for setting the connecting shaft, and the shape of the installation groove is U-shaped.

Based on the above technical solution, the U-shaped installation groove provides a stable support structure for the connecting shaft. This design ensures that the connecting shaft is not easily loose or offset after installation, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure of the sliding machine. During use, even under significant force or vibration, the connecting shaft can remain in the predetermined position, ensuring the normal operation of the sliding machine. The design of the U-shaped installation groove makes the installation and disassembly of the connecting shaft relatively simple. Technicians or users can complete the installation or disassembly process through simple operations, such as sliding the connecting shaft into or out of the installation groove. This not only saves time, but also reduces operational difficulty and improves work efficiency.

In a further improved solution, a lower side of the pedal assembly is provided with at least a rib plate for improving a strength of the pedal assembly, and the installation groove is provided on the rib plate.

Based on the above technical solution: rib plates as reinforcement structures can significantly improve the rigidity and load-bearing capacity of pedal assemblies. When the pedal assembly is subjected to external forces, the rib plates can effectively disperse and resist these forces, preventing deformation or damage to the pedal. Setting the installation groove on the rib plate can further enhance the stability of the installation groove. The rib plate provides a sturdy support foundation for the installation groove, making the connecting shaft more stable after installation and less likely to loosen or fall off. This helps ensure the smoothness and safety of the sliding machine during operation. The design of rib plates can also optimize the force distribution of pedal assemblies. By reasonably arranging the position and quantity of rib plates, the pedal assembly can be subjected to more uniform force when subjected to external forces, thereby reducing the risk of local stress concentration and fatigue damage.

In a further improved solution, the elastic assembly further comprises a shaft body, and the elastic member is set on the base through the shaft body.

Based on the above technical solution: the shaft body serves as a key component connecting the elastic assembly and the base, and its design ensures the stable installation of the elastic assembly on the base. This stable connection method can effectively prevent the elastic assemblies from loosening or shifting during movement, thereby enhancing the overall structural stability of the sliding machine. By fixing the elastic assembly to the base through the shaft body, the tension and position of the elastic assembly can be more accurately controlled. This helps to provide uniform and stable damping force for the pedal assemblies, optimize the elastic supporting effect of the sliding machine, and make the movement process smoother and more comfortable. The design of the shaft body simplifies the installation process of the elastic assembly. Technicians can easily fix the elastic parts to the base through the shaft body without the need for complex connecting frames or other auxiliary components. In addition, when maintenance or replacement of elastic assemblies is required, the shaft body can be quickly disassembled and reinstalled, which improves the convenience of maintenance.

In a further improved solution, the elastic member is an elastic ring, which is formed by surrounding an elastic rope, one end of the elastic ring is wound around the connecting shaft, and the other end of the elastic ring is wound around the shaft body.

Based on the above technical solution, the design of the elastic ring can provide continuous and stable elastic supporting, ensuring that the pedal assembly receives uniform resistance during the sliding process. This stable elastic supporting helps to enhance the user's sports experience, making the movement of the sliding machine smoother and more comfortable. The installation of the elastic ring is relatively simple, just wrap its two ends around the connecting shaft and shaft body respectively. This design simplifies the installation process, reduces installation difficulty, and also facilitates subsequent maintenance and replacement. As an elastic assembly, the elastic ring has a relatively compact structure and does not occupy too much space. This helps optimize the overall structure of the sliding machine, making it more compact, lightweight, and easy to carry and store. The elastic rope material usually has high wear resistance and anti-aging performance, which can ensure that the elastic ring maintains stable elasticity during long-term use. This helps to extend the service life of the sliding machine and reduce maintenance costs caused by damaged elastic assemblies.

In a further improved solution, there are two elastic assemblies, and the two elastic assemblies are respectively set at both ends of the pedal assembly.

Based on the above technical solution, two elastic assemblies are located at both ends of the pedal assembly, which can provide uniform support and damping force for the pedal assembly. This design helps ensure the smoothness of the pedal during sliding, reducing the risk of shaking or tilting. At the same time, it also enhances the stability of the overall structure of the sliding machine, allowing users to exercise with more peace of mind. By the synergistic effect of two elastic assemblies, the sliding resistance and rebound effect of the pedal assembly can be more accurately controlled. This design enables the sliding machine to adapt to the strength and movement needs of different users, providing a more personalized exercise experience. In addition, it also helps optimize energy transfer and consumption during exercise, improving exercise effectiveness. Placing two elastic assemblies at each end of the pedal assembly is actually a reinforcement of the pedal assembly structure. This layout can disperse the pressure of the pedal under stress, reduce the risk of local stress concentration, and thus extend the service life of the pedal assemblies. The design of two elastic assemblies located at both ends of the pedal assembly makes it more convenient for technicians to access and operate during maintenance or adjustment. This reduces maintenance costs and time, and improves the availability and reliability of the sliding machine.

In a further improved solution, two elastic assemblies are respectively set at left and right ends of the pedal assembly.

Based on the above technical solution, two elastic assemblies are located at the left and right ends of the pedal assembly, ensuring that the pedal receives uniform support and damping force in the left and right directions. This design helps prevent the pedal from tilting or shaking during the sliding process, thereby enhancing the balance and stability of the sliding machine. This is crucial for improving the user's sports experience and safety. Placing two elastic assemblies at the left and right ends of the pedal assembly is actually a reinforcement of the pedal assembly structure. This layout can disperse the pressure of the pedal under stress, reduce the risk of local stress concentration, and thus extend the service life of the pedal assemblies and elastic assemblies.

In a further improved solution, there are two guide rails, and the elastic assembly is located between the two guide rails.

Based on the above technical solution, the guide rails, as a key component in the sliding machine, provide precise guidance for the pedal assembly. Placing the elastic assembly between two guide rails ensures that the elastic force always acts in the direction of the guide rails during the pedal sliding process, thereby enhancing the stability and accuracy of the sliding machine. At the same time, the guide rail also provides some support for the elastic assemblies, preventing them from shifting or deforming during movement. The elastic assembly is located between the guide rails, allowing the elastic force to be transmitted more directly and effectively to the pedal assembly. This design helps to reduce energy loss during the transmission process, improve the motion efficiency and exercise effectiveness of the sliding machine. The clever combination of guide rails and elastic assemblies actually constitutes a part of the structure of the sliding machine. Placing the elastic assembly between the guide rails can disperse the pressure on the pedal when subjected to force, reducing the risk of local stress concentration. This design not only enhances the overall structural strength of the sliding machine, but also helps to extend its service life. Place the elastic assembly between the guide rails to make the installation process easier. Technicians can easily install elastic assemblies through the positioning of guide rails, without the need for additional positioning devices or complex installation steps. When the elastic assemblies need to be repaired or replaced, technicians can quickly disassemble and reinstall them, reducing maintenance costs and time.

In a further improved solution, the two guide rails are respectively located on front and rear sides of the pedal assembly.

Based on the above technical solution, the guide rails, as a key component in the sliding machine, its main function is to provide precise guidance and positioning for the pedal assembly. Setting two guide rails on the front and rear sides of the pedal assembly can ensure that the pedal always moves along the direction of the guide rails during the sliding process, thereby maintaining a stable motion trajectory. This design helps reduce the shaking or deviation of the pedal during the sliding process, improving the stability and accuracy of the sliding machine. The front and rear layout of the guide rail enables the pedal assembly to receive more uniform and stable support force during the sliding process. This design helps optimize the exercise effect, making the user's movements smoother and more natural. At the same time, by adjusting the distance or angle between the guide rails, the resistance level and motion mode of the sliding machine can be easily changed to adapt to the strength and motion needs of different users. Placing two guide rails on the front and rear sides of the pedal assembly actually constitutes a part of the structure of the sliding machine. This design helps to enhance the overall structural strength of the sliding machine, improve its load-bearing capacity and durability. The stable support of the guide rail can also reduce the risk of deformation or damage to the pedal under stress, and extend the service life of the sliding machine.

In a further improved solution, the guide rails are welded to the base.

Based on the above technical solution, welding, as a sturdy connection method, can tightly bind the guide rail and the base together, forming a stable overall structure. This design helps to enhance the overall stability of the sliding machine and prevent shaking or tilting during use. Through welding, the connection between the guide rail and the base becomes very strong, capable of withstanding greater weight and pressure. This is particularly important for sliding machines that need to withstand large impact forces or heavy loads, ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment during long-term use. The welding guide rail simplifies the installation process without the need for additional connectors or fasteners.

Meanwhile, due to the secure welding connection, maintenance issues caused by loose or damaged connectors are reduced. This reduces maintenance costs and time, and improves equipment availability and reliability. Welding guide rails can ensure the straightness and parallelism of the rails, providing precise guidance for the pedal assemblies. This design helps optimize the motion effect of the sliding machine, making the pedal smoother and more fluid during the sliding process. Welding connections have high strength and durability, and can withstand wear and fatigue during long-term use. This helps to extend the service life of the sliding machine and reduce replacement costs caused by component damage.

The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

The present invention adopts a special connection method between the elastic assembly and the pedal assembly, that is, one end of the elastic member is set on the base, and the other end is set on the pedal assembly through a connecting shaft, and the axial position of the connecting shaft is positioned by the frictional force between the connecting shaft and the pedal assembly. This design greatly simplifies the structure of the sliding machine. Compared to traditional sliding machines that use complex connection frames at the connection between the elastic device and the pedal, this design reduces the number and complexity of components, thereby lowering manufacturing costs.

Due to the dual effects of structural simplification and performance optimization, this sliding machine provides users with a smoother and more stable sliding experience. Users can easily slide back and forth along the guide rail to achieve better fitness results. In addition, the simplified structure also makes the sliding machine easier to maintain and clean, extending its service life.
