Theconveyor belt 12 surrounds thefront roller 140 and therear roller 141, and the rotation of thefront roller 140 or therear roller 141 can drive theconveyor belt 12 to rotate. Thedriving assembly 14 further includes amotor 142, asmall pulley 143, atiming belt 144, and alarge pulley 145. Themotor 142 couples with thesmall pulley 143, thesmall pulley 143 couples with thelarge pulley 145 via thetiming belt 144, and thelarge pulley 145 coaxially couples with an end of thefront roller 140. Accordingly, the rotation of themotor 142 will drive thesmall pulley 143, which in turn drives thelarge pulley 145 via thetiming belt 144, and thelarge pulley 145 in turn drives thefront roller 140 causing the rotation of theconveyor belt 12. - Conventional treadmill has a drawback that the elevation of the
large pulley 145 andmotor 142 is higher than theconveyor belt 12, so that amotor housing 146 is needed to cover themotor 142 and the related components, as shown inFIG. 1B . Because themotor housing 146 is protruded in relation to theconveyor belt 12, the user frequently kicks themotor housing 146 and thus results in stumble of the user or the broke of themotor housing 146. - In one general aspect, the present invention relates to treadmills, and more particularly relates to a treadmill with flat configuration.

FIG. 4 shows another flattenedtreadmill 30 according to the preferred embodiment of this invention. Thetreadmill 30 differs from thetreadmill 20 in that all of the wheels and linking members are gears, and the following describes the detail. The drivingsystem 34 drives theconveyor belt 22 to rotate and comprises afront roller 340, a rear roller (not shown), afirst wheel 342, asecond wheel 343, at least amedium wheel mechanism 344, and amotor 345. - The
front roller 340 and the rear roller are arranged under the conveyor belt 2 and are surrounded by theconveyor belt 22. Themotor 345 is arranged near to an end, typically the front end oftreadmill 20, and the elevation of which is equal to or under than the elevation of theconveyor belt 22. - The
first wheel 342 couples with themotor 345, and the elevation of themotor 345 is below the elevation of theconveyor belt 22. Thesecond wheel 343 is arranged at afirst end 340 a of thefront roller 340. The diameter of thesecond wheel 343 is equal to or smaller than the diameter of thefront roller 340, so that the elevation of thesecond wheel 343 is equal to or blow the elevation of theconveyor belt 22. Themedium wheel mechanism 344 couples with thefirst wheel 342 and thesecond wheel 343. Themedium wheel mechanism 344 employs afirst linking member 346 to couple with thefirst wheel 342, and employs asecond linking member 347 to couple with thesecond wheel 343. By doing so, themotor 345 drives thefirst wheel 342 to rotate, thefirst wheel 342 drives themedium wheel mechanism 344 rotating via thefirst linking member 346, and themedium wheel mechanism 344 drives thesecond wheel 343 and thefront roller 340 rotating via thesecond linking member 347 and thus causing the rotation of theconveyor belt 22. - The
medium mechanism 344 can modulate the rotational speed of thesecond wheel 343. Themedium wheel mechanism 344 may comprise alarge wheel 3440 and asmall wheel 3442 coaxially connected with thelarge wheel 3440. Thefirst wheel 342 couples with thelarge wheel 3440 via thefirst linking member 346, and thesecond wheel 343 couples with thesmall wheel 3442 via thesecond linking member 347. Preferably, the diameter of thelarge wheel 3440 is greater than the diameter of thesmall wheel 3442 and the diameter of thefirst wheel 342, and the diameter of thesmall wheel 3442 is equal to or approximates the diameter of thesecond wheel 343. - In this embodiment, the
first wheel 342, thesecond wheel 343, thelarge wheel 3440, thesmall wheel 3442, thefirst linking member 346, and thesecond linking member 347 are gears. In addition, the flattenedtreadmill 30 may comprise aflat housing 36 coveringmotor 345, thefirst wheel 342, thesecond wheel 343, themedium wheel mechanism 344, thefirst linking member 346, and thesecond linking member 347. The other features of this invention may be same as mentioned inFIGS. 2 and 3 . In another embodiment, thefirst linking member 346 is omitted, and thefirst wheel 342 directly engages with thelarge wheel 3440. - Accordingly, embodiments of this invention employ the medium wheel mechanism to modulate the rotational speed, so that the elevation of all wheels and the related components can be lower than the elevation of the conveyor belt. A flattened treadmill is thus can be achieved to increase safety and decrease damage.
