    [0001] STATION SIMULATOR The present invention relates to a stair simulator. More particularly, the present invention relates to a stair simulator that can oscillate left and right by raising or lowering the pedals. A stair simulator is a type of physical training equipment. The stair simulator can simulate stair climbing behaviors by pedal oscillation thereof, thereby physically driving the muscle of the left foot and the muscle of the right foot. Now, the Stair Simulator pedal can not only swing up and down, but can still rotate, increasing the size of the user, and the feeling of balance of the human body can also be improved. However, a link mechanism of a conventional stair simulator is usually complex. For example, the conventional link mechanism is generally equipped with a swing lever under the left pedal and the right pedal. By the principle of the lever, when a pedal is lowered by the gravity and opposes a resistance at one end of the lever, the other pedal is pushed by the other end of the lever and is raised. Another type of link mechanism is equipped with a V-shaped swingarm under the left pedal and the right pedal, and the V-shaped swingarm can rotate around the center of a circle. In this type of connection mechanism, since the diameter is equal to the length and the angle is fixed, when a pedal is lowered by the gravity and opposes a resistance at one end of the V-shaped swingarm. the other 3033706 2 end of the pedal is pushed by the other end of the V-shaped swing arm and is raised. In addition, in a conventional stair simulator, the rotation and oscillation of the left and right pedals are realized by the pivotal disposition of the two pedals on a support by an axis, so that the pedals can oscillate and turn relative to the support. However, in the link mechanism of the conventional stair simulator, the working paths of the left and right pedals are fixed, and thus the pedal stroke and the oscillation angle can not be adjusted to meet the requirements of different users. In addition, the lowering, elevation and oscillation of the pedals are achieved by complicated linking mechanisms and, therefore, the cost is high. According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a stair simulator, characterized in that it comprises: - a base; - a connecting rod disposed on the base, the connecting rod comprising two ends which are able to rotate integrally with each other; two pedals, each of the pedals comprising: a pedal element; and - a pedal arm connected to the pedal element, the pedal arm being pivotally connected to a respective end of the connecting rod for raising or lowering the pedal element alternately; and - two adjusting mechanisms, each of the adjusting mechanisms comprising: a locking member disposed on the pedal arm, the locking member comprising a first locking surface; a blocking block spaced from the connecting rod by a predetermined distance, the blocking block comprising at least a second blocking surface opposing a resistance to the first blocking surface of the blocking element, whereby when the first one of the pedals is lowered in a direction of gravity, the first locking surface of the locking member disposed on the pedal arm of said first pedal and one of the second block locking surfaces. blocking means corresponding to said blocking member are inclined with respect to the direction of gravity and establish a connection between said first pedal and the corresponding end of the connecting rod so as to rotate in one piece the other end of the connecting rod and the first locking surface of the locking element disposed on the pedal arm of the other, second, pedal is resisted by one of the seconds blocking block locking surfaces corresponding to said locking member, thereby pivoting and raising the second pedal.
    [0002] The stair simulator may further comprise two return mechanisms, each of the return mechanisms being connected to a respective end of the connecting rod and to the base. For example, the return mechanism may be a combination of a link lever and a tension spring, a combination of a steel cable and a tension spring, a combination of a lever of connection and a compression spring, or a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder. According to particular optional features: the base comprises: a central portion configured to position the two blocking blocks; an extension portion extending vertically and outwardly from the central portion; and two side portions connected at two ends of the central portion, the two side portions being arranged to each follow an arc away from the other side portion, and the two side portions being hollow for the positioning of the two mechanisms recall; the connecting rod comprises a circular central portion located at a center of the connecting rod, and the circular central portion is pivotally connected to an external end of the extension portion for the rotation of the connecting rod; and - each of the pedals comprises a pivoting part, each of the pivoting parts being connected in one piece to a respective one of the pedal arms and being pivotally connected to a respective end of the connecting rod, allowing thus each of the pedal arms to pivot relative to the connecting rod. The first blocking surface of each of the blocking members may rotatably oppose a resistance to the second blocking surface of the respective blocking block. Each of the blocking blocks may be pivotally disposed on the base, and the second blocking surface may rotatably oppose a resistance to the first blocking surface of the respective blocking member. Each of the blocking blocks may comprise at least two second blocking surfaces.

Reference will now be made in detail to the present embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Whenever possible, the same reference numerals are used in the drawings and the description to denote like or similar parts. The present invention relates to a stair simulator which avoids the use of a complicated connecting mechanism and which allows adjustment of the pedal stroke and the oscillation angle according to the requirements of different users. Figure 1 is a three-dimensional view showing a stair simulator 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is an exploded view of the stair simulator 100 of Figure 1; and FIG. 3 is a lower side view of the stair simulator 100 of FIG. 2. The stair simulator 100 comprises a base 200, a connecting rod 300, two pedals 400, two adjustment mechanisms 500 and two mechanisms recall 600.
    [0005] The base 200 is stably positioned on a plane. The base 200 includes a central portion 210, an extension portion 220 and two side portions 230. The extension portion 220 extends vertically and outwardly from the central portion 210. The two side portions 230 are connected at two ends of the central portion 210, respectively, and the two side portions 230 are hollow and are arranged to follow each an arc away from the other side portion 230.
    [0006] The connecting rod 300 is pivotally disposed on the base 200, and has two ends 310 which are rotatable integrally with one another and a circular central portion 320. The circular central portion 320 is located at the center of the connecting rod 300, and the central portion 320 is pivotally connected to an outer end of the extension portion 220 by an axis 330, thereby rotating the connecting rod 300 relative to 200. Each of the pedals 400 includes a pedal member 410, a pedal arm 420 and a pivot portion 430. The pedal member 410 is used to support the foot. The pedal arm 420 has an "L" shape and is connected to the pedal member 410. The pivot portion 430 is integrally connected to the pedal arm 420, and each of the pivot portions 430 is connected. pivotally at a respective end 310 of the connecting rod 300, therefore the pedal arm 420 may be rotated relative to the connecting rod 300 to raise or lower the pedal member 410 alternately. Each of the adjustment mechanisms 500 includes a blocking member 510 and a blocking block 520. The blocking member 510 is disposed on the pedal arm 3033706 9 420 and includes a first blocking surface 511. The first blocking surface 511 can be an arched surface and can be made of an elastic material. Two blocking blocks 520 are spaced from the connecting rod 300 by a predetermined distance. The blocking block 520 is disposed on the central portion 210. The blocking block 520 includes at least one second blocking surface 521 for opposing a resistance to the first blocking surface 511 of the blocking member 510. In the In one embodiment, the blocking block 520 comprises four second locking surfaces 521. Each of the return mechanisms 600 is located at the two side portions 230. Each of the return mechanisms 600 is connected to a respective end 310 of the connecting rod. 300 and base 200. In this embodiment, the return mechanism 600 comprises a link lever 610 and a tension spring 620. One end of the link lever 610 is connected to an end 310 of the link rod 300 ; the other end of the link lever 610 is connected to the tension spring 620. Figure 4A is a schematic view showing an action of the stair simulator 100 of Figure 2; Figure 4B is a schematic view showing the action from one side of the stair simulator 100 of Figure 4A; Figure 4C is a schematic view showing the action from the other side of the stair simulator 100 of Figure 4A. When the pedal 400 is lowered in a direction of gravity g, the first blocking surface 511 of the blocking member 510 disposed on the pedal 400 and the second blocking surface 521 of the blocking block 520 are inclined relative to the gravity direction, thus rotating both ends 310 of the connecting rod 300 in one piece. At this time, the first locking surface 511 of the other locking element 510 is resisted by the second blocking surface 521 of the other blocking block 520, thereby raising the other pedal 400. Therefore, the left pedal 400 or the right pedal 400 can swing up and down by the rotation of a only holding of the connecting rod 300 and the resistance between the locking element 510 and the blocking block 520. However, it should be specified that the pedal 400 of the stair simulator 100 is connected by the blocking block 520 and the element t and lock 510, and thus it can perform simultaneous up-down and left-right oscillations. Reference can be made to Figure 2 and Figures 5A to 5B. Figure 5A is a schematic view showing a predetermined distance L formed between the blocking block 520 and the connecting rod 300 and an up-down oscillation angle 0a of the pedal arm 420 of the stair simulator 100 of FIG. 2; and Figure 5B is a schematic view showing a left-right oscillation angle of the pedal arm 420 of the stair simulator 100 of Figure 2. Since the locking member 510 on the pedal arm 420 is always resisted by the blocking block 520, that the pedal arm 420 oscillates up or down, and since the connecting rod 300 is pivoted about a center of the circle, the pedal arm 420 may not only swing up and down, but may swing left and right by the link rod 300. Assuming that the height of the pedal arm 420 and that the height of the blocking block 520 are fixed, the angle 0a. High-low oscillation angle and the left-right swing angle Op of the pedal arm 420 will be smaller when the predetermined distance L between the blocking block 520 and the connecting rod 300 increases. Therefore, the user can adjust the pedal stroke and oscillation angle by adjusting the position of the blocking block 520. In addition, in the embodiment, the blocking block 520 comprises four seconds blocking 521. When the four second locking surfaces 521 comprise different contact areas, the angle 0a. the up-down oscillation angle and the left-right oscillation angle Op of the pedal arm 420 can also be adjusted. Figure 6 is a schematic view showing a stair simulator 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 7 is a schematic view showing a stair simulator 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 8 is a schematic view showing a stair simulator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 6, the positions of blocking block 520 and blocking member 510 are not limited. As long as the relative position of the blocking block 520 and the blocking element 510 is not changed, the position of the blocking block 520 and the locking element 510 can be exchanged to adjust the pedal stroke 25 ( oscillation angle 0a) and the left-right oscillation angle 0a. In Figure 7, the blocking member 510 includes a rotatable circular surface, and thus the bias on the pedal 400 may be more fluid (smoothly). In Figure 8, it can be seen that the positions of blocking block 520 and blocking member 510 can be exchanged. Figure 9 is an exploded view showing a stair simulator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention; Fig. 10 is an exploded view showing a stair simulator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention; and Figure 11 is an exploded view showing a stair simulator 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. In Fig. 9, the return mechanism 600 provides a restoring force by combining a steel wire 610a and a tension spring 620. In Fig. 10, the return mechanism 600 provides a biasing force. by combining a link lever 610 and a compression spring 620a. In Figure 11, the return mechanism 600 provides a return force by a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder. Therefore, the return mechanism 600 may have various structures to provide the biasing force. In summary, the stair simulator of the present invention has the following advantages: (a) Alternative bearing features can be achieved by the simple structure of the connecting rod 20 and the adjustment mechanism. (b) For the up-and-down oscillation of the pedal, the structure of the connecting rod and adjustment mechanism of the present invention is more stable than the conventional connecting structure using a lever or arm principle. V-type oscillator. (c) The pedal can oscillate up, down, left and right, by incorporating the connecting rod, the inclined direction of the locking element and the locking block. (D) The pedal stroke and the oscillation angle can be adjusted by exchanging the position of the blocking block and the blocking member, changing the number of the first blocking surface and the second surface area by 3033706. blocking, or changing the contact area of the second locking surface of the blocking block.
