  • FIG. 6 illustrates an operational plan view of a conventional treadmill
    •  DETAIL PORTIONED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Please refer to FIG. 1, illustrating a treadmill according to the present invention. The treadmill has a bottom bracket 1 assembled with a standing bracket 2 extending upward. The standing bracket 2 comprises two elongated bars 21 respectively assembled at the right and left sides of the bottom bracket 1. A handlebar 22 is assembled on the top of each of the elongated bars 21. In this embodiment, a bottom end of the standing bracket 2 is pivotally connected to the bottom bracket 1. Therefore, the standing bracket 2 can be swung relative to the bottom bracket 1, and the tilt angle of the standing bracket 2 is adjustable.
  • Furthermore, a movable unit 3 is assembled on each of the elongated bars 21 of the standing bracket 2, and the bottom bracket 1 is assembled with a driving unit 4. The driving unit 4 can drive each of the movable units 3 to slide along the extension direction of the corresponding elongated bar 21. The movable unit 3 may be connected with the elongated bar 21 in different ways. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the movable unit 3 is a sleeve fitted over an outer periphery of the elongated bar 21, and the movable unit 3 is driven by the driving unit 4 to slide along the extension direction of the elongated bar 21. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the movable unit 3 is a slider, and the elongated bar 21 is assembled with a rail 211 extending along the extension direction of the elongated bar 21. The movable unit 3 is slidably assembled on the rail 211 and is driven by the driving unit 4 to slide along the rail relative to the elongated bar 21.
  • Moreover, the two movable units 3 on the two elongated bars 21 are fixed and connected with each other by a transversal bar 31, and the driving unit 4 is connected to the transversal bar 31. In addition, the driving unit 4 drives the movable units 3 to move by pushing, so that the movable units 3 can be moved at the same time.
  • Furthermore, the present invention further comprises a treadmill platform 5 for a user to run thereon. The treadmill platform 5 has a front end 51 and a rear end 52, the left and right sides of the front end 51 are pivotally connected with the two movable units 3, respectively, and the rear end 52 is assembled with a wheel 53 for rolling against the ground. In another embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the bottom bracket 1 is extending toward the rear end 52 of the treadmill platform 5, so that the wheel 53 can roll against the bottom bracket 1.
  • Accordingly, in the present invention, the aforementioned components are applied to lift the treadmill platform 5 so as to change the slope of the treadmill Therefore, the training strength provided by the treadmill can be changed when the user runs on the treadmill. In detail, as shown in FIG. 4, when the driving unit 4 is in operation, the driving unit 4 pushes the transversal bar 31 to move the movable units 3, so that each of the movable units 3 is moved along the extension direction of the corresponding elongated bar 21. Since the front end 51 of the treadmill platform 5 is connected to the movable units 3, the front end 51 of the treadmill platform 5 is moved by the movable units 3 and the slope of the treadmill platform 5 is changed.
  • The slope of the treadmill platform 5 is determined by the difference between the height of the front end 51 and the height of the rear end 52. As shown in FIG. 4, it is defined that the rear end 52 of the treadmill platform 5 has a reference height H, and the movable unit 3 can be moved to a position higher than the reference height H when the movable unit 3 is driven to move along the elongated bar 21, so that the front end 51 of the treadmill platform 5 is higher than the rear end 52 of the treadmill platform 5. Therefore, the treadmill platform 5 provides an uphill scenario for the user; in this case, the standing bracket 2 can be adjusted to swing toward the treadmill platform 5, so that the handlebar 22 comes close to the treadmill platform 5. Conversely, as shown in FIG. 5, the movable unit 3 may be driven to move along the elongated bar 21 to a position lower than the reference height H, so that the front end 51 of the treadmill platform 5 is lower than the rear end 52 of the treadmill platform 5. Therefore, the treadmill platform 5 provides a downhill scenario for the user; in this case, the standing bracket 2 can be adjusted to swing away from the treadmill platform 5, so that the handlebar 22 goes away from the treadmill platform 5. Accordingly, the treadmill can allow the treadmill platform 5 to have different slopes to meet different training requirements.
  • According to the aforementioned components, when the treadmill platform 5 is adapted to simulate the uphill scenario, the user is lifted by the treadmill platform 5, so that the user leans backward; in this case, the standing bracket 2 is adjusted to swing toward the treadmill platform 5, so that the handlebar 22 comes close to the user and spaced from the user by a proper distance. Conversely, when the treadmill platform 5 is adapted to simulate the downhill scenario, the user leans forward; in this case, the standing bracket 2 is adjusted to swing away from the treadmill platform 5, so that the handlebar 22 goes away from the user and spaced from the user by a proper distance.
  • Based on the above, the feature of the embodiment of the present invention is that the front end 51 of the treadmill platform 5 is connected with the movable units 3 that are capable of being moved upward and downward along the standing bracket 2. Therefore, when the treadmill platform 5 is lifted or descended, the front end 51 of the treadmill platform 5 is always connected to the standing bracket 2. In addition, the standing bracket 2 can be swung relative to the bottom bracket 1 to adjust the position of the handlebar 22. Therefore, the distance between the user on the treadmill platform 5 and the handlebar 22 does not change.
  • Accordingly, the user can conveniently hold the handlebar 22 no matter what the slope of the treadmill platform 5 is, thus improving the safety for the operation of the treadmill and reducing the occurrence of accidents.
