Abstract
A treadmill with an anti-entrapment function allows a user to stand on the treadmill and includes a running unit, a control unit, and a sensing unit. The running unit includes two lateral bases, a driving roller, a driven roller, and a running belt. Each lateral base has a bottom end portion. The sensing unit includes a guard bar pivotally provided at the bottom end portions and at least one sensing member. When the user is accidentally pulled into the gap between the running belt and one of the lateral bases, the guard bar will be subjected to an external force and thus rotated downward about a rotation axis, thereby driving the at least one sensing member to send a warning signal to the control unit, in order for the control unit to control the rotation speed of the driving roller accordingly, lest the user be pulled deeper into the gap.
