Non-powered Ladder Climbing Health Stamper

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a health stepper, and more specifically, a health stepper designed to continuously step on and step up a ladder along an uphill slope, such as actually climbing stairs or climbing in a non-electric way without using an electric motor. It is about.

Background Art

Today, with increasing interest in health, there is an increasing number of aerobic exercisers such as walking, jogging, cycling, and Dongsan for the purpose of maintaining health and maintaining their fitness. In general, the health stepper, which is widely used as a fitness equipment that can be used indoors to easily see the effect of climbing, keeps stepping on the footboard using weight and leg strength of two footboards that move up and down alternately. By doing so, lifting the weight is not a great exercise effect, it can be seen that the anaerobic exercise is more suitable for lower body strengthening exercise. Another aerobic exercise device is an electric treadmill or an electric step machine.

Alternative Site (Article 26) However, electric exercise equipment consumes a lot of electricity, is bulky, occupies a lot of indoor space, and it is difficult to easily purchase and use at home because of noise generation and expensive price.

[Contents of design]

[Problem to solve]

As described above, the conventional health temper does not have a large aerobic exercise effect such as Dongsan or stairs climbing, and because the foot of the health temper is moved up and down and tilts along the circumference of the arc, it may cause a strain on the ankle joint. There is a problem of using it as a low-cost fitness device that can easily perform the Dongsan exercise or the stairs climbing exercise in the narrow indoor space, and the electric treadmill or the stem machine with the aerobic exercise effect is bulky and electric power. It consumes a lot of money and the price is difficult to use at home easily.

In order to solve the various problems that conventional exercise equipments have in this way, it is a non-electric method that does not use an electric motor, and the user can continue the climbing exercise comfortably as if climbing the stairs as usual. The present invention is to be applied to provide an exercise device that can do aerobic exercise at low cost.

[Measures of problem] In order to solve the problems of the conventional exercise equipment described above, the ladder climbing health stamper according to the present invention is configured to operate the drive means using only the user's weight without using an electric motor, thereby generating noise and electric power by the electric motor. It prevents consumption and is configured to adjust the speed of movement of the driving means according to the user's weight and the desired speed by using the speed control device.

More specifically, to solve the problem, four ladder scaffolds are connected parallel to the ground in the cross direction to the rotation axis that rotates according to the user's weight, and the four leg scaffolds slide down obliquely to the ground. Configure it so that you can exercise as if you were stepping on a real ladder. It can be said that the most important means to solve the problem is to configure the apparatus so that the rotational movement of the ladder can be performed simply by rotating the rotating shaft and sliding down diagonally along the inclined surface.

[Effect of design]

Since the health stamper according to the present invention does not use an electric motor, it does not consume power and can exercise without generating noise of the electric motor. And by continuing to step up and step on the legs, there is an advantage to protect the joints that are easy to hurt when going down the stairs.

In addition, it can be used without wearing sneakers, so you can see the effect of acupressure on the soles of the feet. There is a point.

In addition, the health stepper presented in the present invention is small in volume and low in manufacturing cost, so it can be easily used and used in each home, and it is possible to easily enjoy aerobic exercise even in a small indoor space. There is no shortage.

[Specific contents to carry out design]

One preferred example of the practice of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same reference numerals refer to the same members having the same function.

Only a perspective view of the body frame portion of the health stamper.

As shown in FIG. 1, the health temper according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention allows the driving means 100 to rotate using only the weight of the user, and the ladder footrest 270 connected to the driving means 100 is inclined. Rotation axis 110, variable-length rotor 200, ladder scaffold 270, body frame 400, sliding support 450, speed control in order to be able to continue the rotary motion while sliding down at an angle. Device 300 is configured.

Body frame 400 is the bottom portion 410, the lamp portion 420 supporting the rotating shaft 110, the handle portion 430 for supporting the user's posture maintenance, the inclined portion for attaching the sliding support 450 440. The sliding support 450 serves to support the ladder scaffold 270 to slide down at an angle with the inclination with the ground, and is attached to the inclined portion 440 of the body frame 400 by welding.

The rotating shaft 110 is mounted on both sides of the light emitting portion 420 of the body frame 400 so that when the user steps on the ladder scaffold 270, the rotating shaft 110 is rotated by the user's weight. The front shaft 110 allows the user to be adjusted at a desired speed by using the user's weight and the speed control device 300 to be described below. And in order to smoothly rotate the rotating shaft 110, it is preferable to install the radial bearing 120 on both ends of the rotating shaft (110).

Four variable-length rotors 200 are installed so that their lengths can vary variably while being connected to each other in a crosswise direction with respect to the rotary shaft 110.

Variable length rotor 200 is configured as follows. In the middle of the rotating shaft 110, the two fixed rotors 210 in the form of rods are installed in a vertical direction with respect to the rotary shafts, and the two fixed rotors 210 are fixed and attached to maintain each other at right angles. The guide rails 220 are attached to both upper and lower surfaces of the fixed rotor 210, and the slide block 240 facing the guide rail 220 is attached to the moving rotor 230. By connecting the tension spring 250 to the tension spring post 260 attached to the fixed rotor 210 and the movable rotor 230 while the guide rail 220 and the slide block 240 are engaged with each other, the movable rotation The ruler 230 is configured to change the length of the entire rotor while linearly reciprocating on the guide rail 220 by the weight of the user and the restoring force of the tension spring 250.

The ladder scaffold 270 is attached to the ends of the four moving rotors 230 so that the four ladder scaffolds 270 may rotate at 90 degree intervals. Ladder scaffold 270 is welded to the end of the moving rotor 230 at an angle consisting of a horizontal 10cm in diameter, 50cm in length and the back surface so that both feet can rise comfortably. As the ladder scaffold 270 slides down the sliding support 450 by the user's weight and descends downward, the length of the variable length rotor 200 becomes longer and longer, and the ladder scaffold 270 adjusts the inclination angle. Therefore, it can be descended in a straight line at an angle.

Since the ladder footrest 270 is located at the lowest point of the sliding support 450 and the length of the variable length rotor 200 passes the longest, the length of the variable length rotor 200 is increased by the restoring force of the tension spring 250. Make it shorter and return to its original length.

And it is possible to adjust the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 110 by installing a speed adjusting device 300 on the rotating shaft (110). One specific example of the speed regulator 300 is An example using the scrap brake 310 can be presented. The disc brake 310 is fixedly attached to the rotating shaft 110, and the brake pad 320 is operated by the strength adjusting lever 330 attached to the body frame 400 to adjust the strength of the brake to rotate the rotating shaft 110. Allow you to adjust the speed.

The operation principle of the health stepper according to the present embodiment is as follows.

For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that one ladder scaffold 270 starts a motion in a state where it is located at the highest point of the sliding support 450. First, when the user steps on the ladder footrest 270 placed at the position of the highest point, the rotating shaft 110 rotates at the same time as the user's weight, and the ladder footrest 270 is obliquely inclined with the ground along the sliding support 450. The length of the variable length rotor 200 connected to the ladder footrest 270 which is slid down and becomes stepped on becomes increasingly long. When the ladder footrest 270 currently stepping on reaches the lowest point of the sliding support 450, the next ladder footrest 270 is positioned at the highest point of the sliding support 450. In this state, the foot which was originally stepped on the ladder footrest 270 placed on the highest point with the other foot is lifted up the ladder footrest 270 and the ladder footrest 270 past the lowest point follows the non-slip table 450. While continuing to rotate, the length of the variable length rotor 200 is gradually shortened by the restoring force of the tension spring 250 to restore the original length.

In this manner, the four ladder scaffold 270 that rotates indefinitely can continue the movement of stepping on both feet alternately.

The present invention is applicable without departing from the gist of the utility model registration claims. The technical protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific preferred embodiments described above because it can be variously changed by those skilled in the art.
