[0025] The embodiments of the invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Clearly, the invention may be implemented in different manners defined and covered by the claims.
[0026] As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 15, this embodiment provides a foldable rowing machine, comprising a main part 1, a rowing machine seat 2, at least one drawing stand 3, and at least two turning stands 4, wherein a storage chamber 5 is formed in the main part 1, the turning stands 4 are connected by means of hinges, the innermost turning stand 4 is mounted at one end of the drawing stand 3 through sliding rails 6, the other end of the drawing stand 3 is connected to an inner wall of the storage chamber 5 by means of sliding rails 6, sliding grooves 7 communicated with each other and used for mounting the rowing machine seat 2 are formed in the turning stands 4, a pedal 8 is hinged to an opening of the storage chamber 5, and lock pin mechanisms 9 used for restraining movements of the turning stand 4, the drawing stand 3 and the pedal 8 are disposed at joints of the drawing stand 3 and the adjacent turning stand 4.
[0027] In this embodiment, a frame for mounting the rowing machine seat 2 is divided into at least one drawing stand 3 and two turning stands 4, and sliding grooves 7 communicated with each other are formed in the turning stands 4, so that the rowing machine seat 2 can be folded and pushed or pulled to be stored after being mounted on the frame. In addition, when the rowing machine in this embodiment is actually used, the turning stands 4 may be removed, and multiple drawing stands 3 may be connected in a pagoda shape by means of sliding rails to form the frame that can be pushed or pulled to be stored. The main part 1 is provided with the storage chamber 5, and the drawing stand 3 and the turning stands 4 may be pushed into the storage chamber 5 to be stored like a drawer by means of wheels after being turned, so that the size of the whole machine is greatly reduced, and better usage experience is provided for users.
[0028] The frame may also be stored by means of other structures, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5. In FIG. 4, the drawing stand 3 and the turning stands 4 are connected by means of hinges, and may be directly turned onto the main part when stored. In FIG. 5, the drawing stand 3 and the turning stands 4 use connecting pieces 100 as hinges, and thus may be directly pushed into the storage chamber 5 to be stored after being folded repeatedly.
[0029] Furthermore, each lock pin mechanism 9 comprises an L-shaped lock bar 10, wherein the lock bar 10 comprises a first bar portion 11 and a second bar portion 12 connected to a right end of the first bar portion 11, the first bar portion 11 is horizontally disposed on an inner wall of the drawing stand 3 and is able to rotate and move horizontally, and the second bar portion 12 is able to rotate around the axis of the first bar portion 11;
[0030] The turning stand 4, adjacent to the drawing stand 3, is formed with lock grooves 13; when rotating, the second bar portions 12 are positioned in the lock grooves 13 to lock the turning stand 4; and when rotating backwards, the second bar portions 12 disengage from the lock grooves 13 to unlock the turning stand 4;
[0031] Fixing recesses 14 matched with edges of the drawing stand 13 are formed in a tail end of the pedal 8; after the pedal 8 is pressed down, the fixing recesses 14 are connected to the edges of the drawing stand 3 in an overlapped manner, and tail ends of the first bar portions 11 abut against the pedal 8, so that the pedal 8 will be unable to move anymore; and the first bar portions 11 are sleeved with first springs 15, and under the effect of the first springs 15, a pushing force enabling the first bar portions 11 to move towards the pedal 8 is applied to the tail ends of the first bar portions 11.
[0032] Furthermore, adjusting nuts 16 for increasing/decreasing the length of the first bar portions 11 are connected to the tail ends of the first bar portions 11 in a threaded manner, and abut against the pedal 8. When the adjusting nuts 16 abut against the pedal 8 and the second bar portions 12 abut against the lock grooves 13, the pedal 8, the drawing stand 3 and the turning stands 4 will be unable to move horizontally, and thus, a locking effect is realized. Wherein, in the long-term using process, the lock pin mechanisms 9 will no longer be long enough to abut against the adjusting nuts 16 and may become loose due to repeated rotation and abrasion of the adjusting nuts 16 abutting against the pedal 8 during locking and unlocking or due to a tolerance clearance generated between mechanical parts after long-term use, thus affecting the user experience of the product. In this case, the adjusting nuts 16 may be rotated to be screwed out by a desired distance to compensate for the clearance. The adjusting nuts 16 may also be changed directly and easily if damaged during use.
