Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rehabilitation training, and in particular to a cognitive training device and method optimized for elderly cognitive impairment. Background Art

[0002] Cognition is the process by which the human brain receives external information, processes it, and converts it into internal psychological activities, thereby acquiring knowledge or applying knowledge. It includes memory, language, visual space, execution, calculation, and understanding and judgment. Cognitive impairment refers to the impairment of one or more of the above-mentioned cognitive functions, which affects the individual's daily or social abilities and can be diagnosed as dementia. The causes are varied. In addition to organic diseases, most of them are caused by mental illnesses. Such as neurasthenia, hysteria, hypochondria, menopausal syndrome, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, senile dementia, schizophrenia, reactive psychosis, paranoid psychosis, mania, bipolar disorder, etc. The cognitive impairment of the elderly requires the use of training devices for rehabilitation training. Most of the existing devices are for cognitive training while standing, which can also play a certain role in exercising the body. However, traditional training devices are often fixed in height and cannot adapt to the height and training needs of different elderly people. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cognitive training device and method optimized for elderly cognitive impairment, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background technology.

[0004] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A cognitive training device optimized for elderly cognitive impairment comprises a base and a training box, wherein a height adaptation mechanism is arranged between the base and the training box.

[0006] The height adaptation mechanism includes a fixed plate and a fixed seat fixedly connected to the base, and a connecting seat and a connecting block fixedly connected to the bottom of the training box. The front side of the fixed plate is fixedly connected to a motor, and the front side of the fixed plate is rotatably connected to an adapter shaft. The surface of the motor output shaft is fixedly connected to a small gear, and the surface of the adapter shaft is respectively fixedly connected to a large gear and a transmission arm, and the transmission arm is rotatably connected to a connecting arm. The inner wall of the fixed seat is rotatably connected to a first limit bar, and the first limit bar is rotatably connected to a second limit bar, the small gear and the large gear are meshed, the connecting arm and the connecting block are rotatably connected, and the second limit bar and the connecting seat are rotatably connected.

[0007] As a further solution of the present invention: a connecting platform is fixedly connected to the right side of the base, and a quick-release anti-slip mechanism is provided between the base and the connecting platform.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: the quick-release anti-slip mechanism includes an anti-slip layer arranged above the base and a fixing strip fixedly connected to the top of the connecting platform, two insertion strips are fixedly connected to the right side of the anti-slip layer, a pull rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing strip, a spring rod is fixedly connected to the left end of the pull rod, a compression lock strip is fixedly connected to the left end of the spring rod, a grip strip is fixedly connected to the right end of the pull rod, and the two insertion strips are adapted to fit between the connecting platform.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: four positioning holes are opened on the top of the training box, the inner walls of the four positioning holes are slidably connected with positioning rods, a cover plate is fixedly connected between the top ends of the four positioning rods, and a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: a plurality of training holes are provided on the inner bottom wall of the training box, a plurality of training plug blocks are arranged on the inner bottom wall of the training box, and the plurality of training holes are respectively matched with training plug blocks of the same shape.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the bottom of the base is fixedly connected to a support column, and the bottom of the support column is fixedly connected to a support base plate.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: a baffle and a side seat are fixedly connected to the left side of the base, and a handrail is fixedly connected to the top of the side seat.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: four support columns are provided and distributed at the bottom edge of the base in a rectangular array.

[0014] A cognitive training method optimized for elderly cognitive impairment, based on the above-mentioned cognitive training device optimized for elderly cognitive impairment, comprises the following steps:

[0015] S1. Hold the grip bar and pull it to the right, so that the pull rod drives the spring rod to be pulled to the right, and the spring rod is held by the fixed bar. The pulling force causes the spring rod to overcome the elastic force and shrink to the right, so that the left side of the spring rod is moved to the right, and then the anti-slip layer is placed between the connecting platform and the baffle on the top of the base, and the two inserts are aligned with the two openings on the connecting platform and inserted into them, and then the grip bar is released, so that the elastic characteristics of the spring rod drive the compression lock bar to rebound and reset to the left position, so that the compression lock bar covers the two inserts, and the two inserts are pressed to make the anti-slip layer tightly against the position between the baffle and the connecting platform, and the anti-slip layer is quickly installed;

[0016] S2. Let the elderly stand on the anti-slip layer and hold the handrail with their left hand. The anti-slip effect of the anti-slip layer and the arm holding the handrail provide a support force to ensure that the elderly will not fall suddenly.

[0017] S3, start the motor and let it drive the small gear to rotate through the output shaft. When the small gear rotates, it drives the large gear to rotate on the front side of the fixed plate through the adapter shaft. When the adapter shaft rotates, the transmission arm on its surface also rotates synchronously. When the transmission arm rotates, it drives the connecting block through the connecting arm, so that the connecting block squeezes and drives the training box to move. When the training box moves, the connecting seat at the bottom drives the first limiting bar to rotate in the inner wall of the fixed seat through the second limiting bar. The cooperation between the connecting seat and the connecting block limits the movement trajectory of the training box, so that the training box can only move up and down in a straight line, so as to adjust the training box to a height position suitable for the height of the user;

[0018] S4. Hold the handle and lift the cover upwards, so that the four positioning rods slide out of the four positioning holes, and then put the cover aside temporarily to open the positioning holes and prepare to start training;

[0019] S5. Ask the elderly to compare the multiple training blocks of different regular shapes placed on the bottom wall of the training box with the multiple training holes to find the training blocks of the same shape, and insert each training block into the corresponding training hole one by one, so that the elderly can observe and think about the corresponding positions of the training blocks of different shapes to be inserted, and conduct cognitive training.

[0045] S4, hold the handle 9, lift the cover plate 8 upwards, so that the four positioning rods 7 slide out of the four positioning holes 6, and then put the cover plate 8 aside temporarily to open the positioning holes 6 and prepare to start training;
