Abstract

This invention belongs to technical field of the treadmill, especially, it is a kind of kind of low-energy consumption high-efficient treadmill. It solved some technical issues such that the machine adopting existing technology has large noise, and the operation can consume a lot of energy and so on. The low-energy consumption high-efficient treadmill includes the treadmill rack, and the treadmill rack is set with annular running belt, one end of the treadmill rack is equipped with the rotation roller, and the other end is set with the outer rotor brushless DC motor, the rotation roller mentioned above are arranged with the outer rotor brushless DC motor in parallel, the annular running belt mentioned above is winded between rotation roller and outer rotor brushless DC motor, and outer rotor brushless DC motor can drive annular running belt mentioned above during operating. Comparing with existing technology, advantages of this invention lie in: 1. The design is more reasonable, the machine is equipped with outer rotor brushless DC motor, which can produce inertia force during rotating, such inertia force can ensure operation stability of the treadmill, secondly, it can also improve the operation efficiency, in addition, the brushless slice can also reduce operation noise of the treadmill, with strong availability. 2. The costs are low.
