FIG. 1 is a schematic drawing of an adjustable dumbbell.FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the adjustable dumbbell ofFIG. 1 in II-II direction.FIG. 3 is an explosion view of parts of the adjustable dumbbell inFIG. 2 . Since some elements in the figures overlap and block, embodiments are explained in combination withFIG. 1 ,FIG. 2 , andFIG. 3 . - An
adjustable dumbbell 1 includes ahandle assembly 19 and twoweight assemblies 11. The twoweight assemblies 11 are symmetrically connected at two ends of thehandle assembly 19. Eachweight assembly 11 includes anouter shell assembly 12, acounterweight element 17, and alocking assembly 18. Theouter shell assembly 12 includes ahousing 13, thehousing 13 is connected to thehandle assembly 19. Areceiving cavity 13 is defined in thehousing 13. Anopening 132 is defined at a side of thehousing 13 facing thehandle assembly 19. The opening 132 is communicated with thereceiving cavity 131. Thecounterweight element 17 is detachably received in thereceiving cavity 131. Thelocking element 18 is connected to thehousing 13, and thecounterweight element 17 is fixed with theouter shell assembly 12 by thelocking element 18. - The
counterweight element 17 and thelocking element 18 are arranged in thereceiving cavity 131, and thelocking element 18 fixes thecounterweight element 17 in theouter shell assembly 12, thus solving the problem of exposedcounterweight element 17 andlocking element 18. Theopening 132 of thereceiving cavity 131 faces thehandle assembly 19, so that theouter shell assembly 12 can realize the visual shielding of thecounterweight element 17 and thelocking element 18, thus improving the appearance beauty of theadjustable dumbbell 1. - In an embodiment of the disclosure, at least one connecting
hole 133 is defined on thehousing 13. At least one first throughhole 171 is defined on thecounterweight element 17. The first throughhole 171 is corresponded to the connectinghole 133. Thelocking element 18 penetrates the connectinghole 133 and the first throughhole 171 and locks with thehousing 13, so that thecounterweight element 17 is fixed in thehousing 13. - Furthermore, inner surface of the connecting
hole 133 is defined with internal threads, outer surface of thelocking element 18 is defined with outer threads. The lockingelement 18 is threaded with the connectinghole 133. - The locking

Two connectingholes 133 are defined at a diagonal position of thehousing 13, and two first throughholes 171 corresponding to the two connectingholes 133 are defined at a diagonal position of thecounterweight element 17. - By setting two connecting
holes 133 at the diagonal position of thehousing 13, it is beneficial to balance the locking force borne by thecounterweight element 17. Two sides of thecounterweight element 17 are uniformly subject to the locking force of the lockingelement 18, so that thecounterweight element 17 is more evenly fixed in the holdingcavity 131. Two connectingholes 133 are also set to limit rotational freedom of thecounterweight element 17, so that thecounterweight element 17 cannot rotate in thehousing 13, so as to achieve the effect of preventing shaking and abnormal noise. - In an embodiment of the disclosure, the
counterweight element 17 includesseveral weight pieces 172. Theseveral weight pieces 172 are stacked and detachably received in the receivingcavity 131. The first throughhole 171 penetrates theseveral weight pieces 172, so that the lockingelement 18 can lock theseveral weight pieces 172 together. - Furthermore, the
weight pieces 172 are in sheet structure. Each piece of theweight pieces 172 has the same shape and weight. Weight of thecounterweight element 17 in thehousing 13 can be adjusted by changing number of theweight pieces 172. - By setting
multiple weight pieces 172, the weight of thecounterweight element 17 is distributed amongmultiple weight pieces 172. Eachcounterweight block 172 has a smaller volume, and theweight pieces 172 are detachably placed in the receivingcavity 131, which can flexibly adjust the number ofweight pieces 172 in the receivingcavity 131 and better hide theweight pieces 172 in the receivingcavity 131. - In other embodiment of the disclosure, each of
weigh pieces 172 can have same shape and can be made by different material, so that weight of eachweight pieces 172 may be different. Selectingweight pieces 172 of different materials can increase the counterweight range ofweight pieces 172. Users can selectweight pieces 172 with high material density according to their own usage habits, so that theadjustable dumbbell 1 can have greater mass; or select theweight pieces 172 with small material density to make theadjustable dumbbell 1 have a light weight. - A second through
hole 134 is defined on thehousing 13, and an axis of the second throughhole 134 is coaxial with the axis of thehandle assembly 19.
