Abstract

A trampoline includes an elastic plate and a supporting unit, wherein the elastic plate includes a first end and a second end, and a portion, located between the first end and the second end, of the elastic plate is an elastic energy accumulator; the supporting unit includes supporting bodies arranged at the first end and the second end of the elastic plate, and the supporting bodies are capable of supporting the elastic plate and tensioning the first end and the second end of the elastic plate; during bending deformation of the elastic plate, the first end generates a symmetrical turning angle change with respect to the second end; during deformation recovering of the elastic plate, the supporting bodies apply reset force to the first end and the second end by utilizing the potential energy.
