The dumbbell bar includes a sleeve and two telescopic mandrels disposed in the sleeve and in sliding fit with each other. the counterweight mechanisms are coaxially disposed at both ends of the dumbbell bar, and configured to provide the overall weight of the adjustable dumbbell. Each linear adjusting mechanism includes a limiting assembly and a gear adjusting assembly. The gear adjusting assembly is configured to allow the two telescopic mandrels to be close to or away from each other, so as to control the overall combination length of the two telescopic mandrels. The limiting assembly is configured to limit the gear adjusting assembly. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An adjustable dumbbell, comprising a dumbbell bar, linear adjusting mechanisms and counterweight mechanisms, wherein the linear adjusting mechanisms and the counterweight mechanisms are disposed at both ends of the dumbbell bar, said dumbbell bar includes a sleeve and two telescopic mandrels disposed in the sleeve and in sliding fit with each other; said counterweight mechanisms are coaxially disposed at the both ends of the dumbbell bar, and configured to provide an overall weight of the adjustable dumbbell; and each of said linear adjusting mechanisms comprises a limiting assembly and a gear adjusting assembly, wherein the gear adjusting assembly is configured to allow the two telescopic mandrels to be close to or away from each other, so as to control an overall combination length of the two telescopic mandrels; and the limiting assembly is configured to limit the gear adjusting assembly. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 1, wherein said limiting assembly comprises a U-shaped fixed block and a locking pin, one end of the locking pin is a locking pin fixed block, and the other end of the locking pin passes through the U-shaped fixed block to limit the gear adjusting assembly that is adjusted; and a reset spring is disposed between said locking pin fixed block and the U-shaped fixed block, and is configured to reset the locking pin. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 1, wherein a connector is disposed between said telescopic mandrels, and is configured to connect the two telescopic mandrels; one side of each of said two telescopic mandrels is provided with a linear groove, said two linear grooves of the telescopic mandrels define a mounting space of the connector, and an outside of each of said telescopic mandrels is provided with an external thread extending along an axial direction of the telescopic mandrel. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 3, wherein an end portion of each of said two telescopic mandrels is sleeved with a circular guide plate, and a guide bulge corresponding to the linear groove is disposed on said guide plate. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 3, wherein said gear adjusting assembly comprises an inner fluted disc and a planetary gear structure; said planetary gear structure comprises two planetary gear carriers, a planetary gear and an internal helical gear, and the planetary gear and the internal helical gear are disposed between the two planetary gear carriers; wherein said internal helical gear is sleeved on the outside of the telescopic mandrel and disposed in centers of the planetary gear carriers, and the internal helical gear is in threaded connection with the telescopic mandrel and drives the telescopic mandrel to carry out a linear reciprocating motion; and said planetary gear is disposed on the planetary gear carriers, an inner side of the planetary gear is meshed with the internal helical gear, and an outer side of the planetary gear is meshed with the inner fluted disc. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 5, wherein a locking assembly is disposed between said internal helical gear and one of said planetary gear carriers towards the telescopic mandrel, said locking assembly comprises a locking clamp plate and a clamp plate mounting sleeve, said clamp plate mounting sleeve is sleeved on the sleeve, and is in threaded connection with an end portion of said sleeve; one side of said clamp plate mounting sleeve is provided with a clamp plate mounting groove, and the other side of said clamp plate mounting sleeve is connected to the internal helical gear in a sleeve-connected mode; and one end of said locking clamp plate is disposed in the clamp plate mounting groove, and the other end of said locking clamp plate passes through the sleeve to clamp the connector. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 5, wherein an outside of said sleeve is further sleeved with a driving cylinder, and said inner fluted disc is connected to the driving cylinder in a clamped mode, wherein a center of the inner fluted disc is provided with a plurality of bulges, two ends of the driving cylinder are provided with clamp slots corresponding to the bulges, and the driving cylinder rotates to drive a rotation of the inner fluted disc. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 1, wherein each of said counterweight mechanisms comprises a plurality of counterweight substrates, an upper end and a lower end of each of said counterweight substrates are each provided with a mounting groove, the counterweight substrates are connected through a buckling assembly, and the buckling assembly is detachably connected to said mounting grooves of the counterweight substrates. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The adjustable dumbbell according to claim 1, further comprising a dumbbell holder configured to secure said adjustable dumbbell.
