DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to sports fitness equipment, and more particularly to an elliptical machine (Ellipticai) that can adjust a pedal trajectory. [Prior Art] _ machine is a new (four)-type sports fitness equipment in recent years, generally refers to each of the two months to guide the left and right pedals along the elliptical or similar shape of the trajectory for users to simulate walking, running Legs that are stepped up, etc. Most of the pedal trajectories of the elliptical machine are fixed. Although P1 can change the travel resistance of the pedal (for example, the industry commonly used obstacles to change the motion load, however, the pedal trajectory is fixed means The movement pattern of the individual value of the leg is also _ into the same, so secret can not choose from a good form of exercise or muscle parts that want to exercise, but also make the lack of exercise (four) and monotonous and boring. There are also a number of ellipse that can adjust the pedals. Most of them can only adjust the length of the 'round, length, and some of the shape's long axis elevation' to obtain different motion patterns. The 5 685 'deletion patent reveals two adjustable: ia week: the structure of the slope: one of which makes the rear end of the pedal support rod move, and the front (four) conforms to the I line on the front high and low. η 动 ' By the slope of the aforementioned track, the slope of the 1306032 pedal on the cutting rod can be increased or decreased; the other is to pivot the front end of the support rod to a swingable cantilever bottom End, making it possible to follow a circular path For the reciprocating motion, the inclination of the pedal trajectory can also be changed by adjusting the length of the cantilever (by changing the height of the front and rear ends of the circular arc track). U.S. Patent No. 6,168,552 discloses another ellipse. The structure of the machine, wherein the technique for adjusting the inclination of the pedal trajectory is similar to the first embodiment of the US Patent No. 5,685,804, except for the component relationship.

U.S. Patent No. M4M42 discloses another elliptical machine capable of adjusting the inclination of the pedal trajectory, wherein the proximal end of the pedal field of the towel can be smoothly slipped on an arc-shaped track so that the track is horizontally displaced back and forth. The support rod is forced to slide in sections of different slopes to achieve the purpose of changing the inclination of the pedal track. However, although the above-mentioned various elliptical machines can adjust the inclination of the pedal trajectory, but since the step (four) is fixedly set on the support rod, the 'step change in the pedal-in-subtraction and the lower one is completely corresponding to the support. The difference between the front and rear ends of the rod makes the user's toe, heel relative angle or force-applying part during the movement, and the shape of the actual running and landing. Ideally, when the pedal is at the bottom end and the rear end section of the trajectory (corresponding to the actual running, landing at the time of landing, and supporting the use of the bottom surface (four), the tread should be closer to the turn, and the track is recorded. Segment (corresponding to lifting the leg, stepping on), the front end of the tread surface should be lower than the rear end, and at the top end of the elliptical trajectory, the front end section, the lower slant is the most _. The upper cover 6 1306032 It is not possible to present the above-mentioned ideal conditions, and the ergonomics need to be improved. In addition, the cantilever structure disclosed in the aforementioned U.S. Patent No. 5,685,804 (Fig. 5) is difficult or unsuitable for making a power regulating device. Therefore, it is inconvenient to use. In addition, when the slope of the pedal trajectory is to be increased/decreased, the length of the cantilever must be shortened/increased to increase/decrease the height difference between the trailing end and the trailing end of the trajectory, but The latter two ends will either rise south or decrease 'so the slope of the pedal track changes less significantly and the adjustable range is narrower. Moreover, when the cantilever is shortened, the pedal will be lifted to a higher position. This will affect the user. Convenience and movement when boarding the pedal SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The main object of the present invention is to provide a novel elliptical machine that allows a user to set the inclination of a pedal track according to individual needs, thereby selecting different sports types such as walking, running, and stepping. The leg movement of the state or different exercise loads increases the richness and variability of the movement. Another object of the present invention is to provide an elliptical machine capable of adjusting the inclination of the pedal trajectory, the pedal of which can be properly supported during the movement. The sole of the person, thereby improving the comfort of the exercise and reducing the possibility of sports injury. Another object of the present invention is to provide an elliptical machine capable of adjusting the inclination of the pedal track, which mainly utilizes a cantilever mechanism to achieve an adjustment function, and can be simple The tilt angle of the pedal track is adjusted efficiently. In order to achieve the foregoing objective, the elliptical machine provided by the present invention comprises: 7 1306032, a front and a rear of a skeleton which can be erected on the ground, the floor or the like. The two ends are respectively provided with a guiding mechanism, and the two guiding mechanisms are provided with left and right two supporting rods, wherein A guiding mechanism can guide the first end of each support rod to move along a circular, rounded "closed trajectory similar to the rim", and the second guiding mechanism can be along the first end of each of the struts When the closed track moves, the second end of the guide is guided to reciprocate between a front pole and a rear pole, thereby enabling the pedal supported by the support rod to move along an elliptical or similar shaped trajectory; The guiding mechanism can change the height of the front pole and/or the rear pole according to the setting (that is, change the slope of the motion track of the second end of the support rod, or at least change the height of the motion track relative to the first end), In this embodiment, the elliptical machine further includes a two-link and a third guiding mechanism. The first end of each link and the corresponding supporting rod pivot Connected to the pedal, the second end is guided by the third guiding mechanism to reciprocate, so that the relative angle of the pedal and the swing rod cyclically changes during the movement. In a preferred embodiment, when the pedal position is at a low position of the motion track, the pedal surface is substantially horizontal. When the pedal position is at a high position of the motion track, the front end of the pedal surface is lower than the rear end. Thereby, the user is comfortable and natural and safer. In the embodiment of the present invention, the second end of each support rod is connected to the swing end of a cantilever, and the position of the center end of the cantilever can be adjusted and positioned, thereby easily changing the front and rear poles. The height and the movement of the pedal produce a significant slope change.
