Treadmill having walking board assembly with low friction resistance and high lubrication
View Patent ↗A treadmill includes a walking board assembly, and a walking belt encircling the walking board assembly. The walking board assembly includes a support plate, a wear-resistant plate mounted on the support plate, and a wax layer mounted on the wear-resistant plate. The wear-resistant plate is made of wear-resistant material with a low friction coefficient. The wear-resistant plate has a bottom face abutting a top face of the support plate. The wear-resistant plate has a top face integrally formed with multiple grooves. The wear-resistant plate has a thickness less than that of the support plate. The wax layer is coated on and filled with the grooves of the wear-resistant plate. The wax layer has a coating height at least equal to a depth of each of the grooves.
1 . A treadmill comprising:
a walking board assembly; and
a walking belt encircling the walking board assembly;
wherein:
the walking board assembly includes a support plate, a wear-resistant plate mounted on the support plate, and a wax layer mounted on the wear-resistant plate;
the support plate is made of a composite wooden board;
the wear-resistant plate is made of wear-resistant material;
the wear-resistant plate is hard and has a low friction coefficient;
the wear-resistant plate has a bottom face abutting a top face of the support plate;
the wear-resistant plate has a top face integrally formed with multiple grooves;
each of the grooves has a depth of 0.01 mm to 0.2 mm;
the wear-resistant plate has a thickness less than that of the support plate;
the wax layer is coated on and filled with the grooves of the wear-resistant plate; and
the wax layer has a coating height at least equal to the depth of each of the grooves.
2 . The treadmill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coating height of the wax layer is higher than and protrudes from the depth of each of the grooves.
3 . The treadmill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coating height of the wax layer is higher than the top face of the wear-resistant plate.
4 . The treadmill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the grooves are arranged longitudinally in the top face of the wear-resistant plate.
5 . The treadmill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the grooves are arranged regularly in the top face of the wear-resistant plate.
6 . The treadmill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the grooves are arranged irregularly in the top face of the wear-resistant plate.
7 . The treadmill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wear-resistant plate is made of a high-pressure decorative laminate.
8 . The treadmill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wear-resistant plate is made of a Bakelite board.
9 . The treadmill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wear-resistant plate is made of a high-density wood fiber board.
10 . The treadmill as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wear-resistant plate is made of wear-resistant material that is non-combustible, flame-resistant, and fire-proof, and has the low friction coefficient.
