The included pull-up exercise mechanism facilitates hand muscle strength training for elderly patients. The adjustable push plate not only allows for hand rotation movements, aiding brain activity and improving hand-eye coordination, but also provides effective care for patients with cerebral atrophy. It can also be adjusted and fixed to the pull block to pull the counterweight for strength training, preventing interference from the push plate's rotation. The detachable grip strength training mechanism, besides assisting in the push plate's rotation, can also be used for individual finger training and hand grip strength exercises. Removing the grip strength training mechanism does not affect hand muscle strength training on the support frame or the use of the rotating push plate. This design allows for simultaneous use by multiple elderly patients, offering flexibility and ease of operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] Depend on Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model includes a support 1 placed on the ground and a tension training mechanism set on the support 1. The tension training mechanism includes a plate 10 movably set on the support 1, a pull block 11 attached to the plate 10, and a counterweight 12 connected to the pull block 11. A push plate 2 is adjustablely provided on the pull block 11, and a grip strength training mechanism that can drive the push plate 2 to rotate is detachably provided on the push plate 2.

[0020] Specifically, the tension training mechanism also includes a receiving platform 13 mounted on the support 1, a directional rod 14 that passes through the counterweight 12 is vertically mounted on the receiving platform 13, and a baffle 15 is mounted on the edge of the receiving platform 13; a guide groove wheel 16 is mounted on the support 1, and a pull rope 17 is connected between the pull block 11 and the counterweight 12, the pull rope 17 being wound around one side of the groove of the guide groove wheel 16.

[0021] A bearing 111 is embedded in the pull block 11, and a connecting rod 112 is passed through the bearing 111. The protruding end of the connecting rod 112 is sleeved and connected to the push plate 2. A positioning pin 21 is passed through one side of the push plate 2. A positioning hole 113 is provided on the pull block 11 at the position corresponding to the positioning pin 21. The positioning pin 21 extends into the positioning hole 113 to limit the rotation of the push plate 2.

[0022] An internally threaded tube 22 is vertically provided on one side of the push plate 2. The grip strength training mechanism includes a connecting tube 30 sleeved on the outside of the internally threaded tube 22 and a grip strength part provided on the outside of the connecting tube 30. A limiting bolt 23 is screwed onto the internally threaded tube 22. A relief groove 231 is wound around the nut of the limiting bolt 23 at the root position of the screw. During installation, the limiting bolt 23 is screwed onto the internally threaded tube 22, and one side of the connecting tube 30 extends into the relief groove 231. The bottom of the relief groove 231 fits against the end face of the end of the connecting tube 30.

[0023] The gripping part includes an airbag 4 wrapped around the outside of the connecting tube 30. A first fixing plate 40 is attached to the outer side wall of the airbag 4. A first bracket 41 is provided on the first fixing plate 40. A first guide rod 51 is passed through the first bracket 41. A first finger ring 52 for thumb drill sleeve is screwed to the protruding end of the first guide rod 51. A first compression spring 53 fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 40 is connected to the non-screwed end of the first finger ring 52.

[0024] A second fixing plate 42 is attached to the outer wall of the airbag body 4 on the other side. A second bracket 43 is provided on the second fixing plate 42. Four second guide rods 54 are passed through the second bracket 43. A second finger ring 55 for use as a finger drill sleeve (excluding the thumb) is screwed to the protruding end of each second guide rod 54. A second compression spring 56, which is fixedly connected to the second fixing plate 42, is connected to the non-screwed end of the second finger ring 55. A limiting block 57 is provided at the non-screwed end of the first guide rod 51 and the second guide rod 54. Each limiting block 57 is located on the outside of the bracket at the corresponding position.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: like Figures 1 to 4As shown, before use, this utility model can be placed in the ward, and it can be used simply by fixing the bracket 1 to the ground, making installation convenient.

[0026] When using the device, to perform hand strength training, first insert the positioning pin 21 into the positioning hole 113 to limit the rotation of the push plate 2. Then, place the elderly patient's five fingers into the first finger ring 52 and the four second finger rings 55 respectively. Then, squeeze the airbag body 4 by pinching the palm together. During this process, the first guide rod 51 and the second guide rod 54 move linearly along the insertion position, causing the corresponding finger rings to move linearly in sync. The first compression spring 53 and the second compression spring 56, which are set at the corresponding positions, will not bend under pressure. That is, the linear movement of the finger ring position causes the compression springs to extend and retract in the direction of movement. In this way, pressing the finger rings can avoid affecting the displacement due to the bending of the compression springs or even causing damage to the fingers due to force misalignment.

[0027] Simultaneously, when hand-eye coordination needs to be improved, the patient needs to rotate the push plate 2 for practice. At this time, the positioning pin 21 is removed, allowing the exercise to begin while holding the airbag body 4. In this process, the connecting tube 30 is sleeved on the outside of the internally threaded tube 22. Because the limiting bolt 23 is screwed onto the internally threaded tube 22, one side of the connecting tube 30 extends into the relief groove 231. The bottom of the relief groove 231 fits against the end face of the connecting tube 30, ensuring that the connecting tube 30 does not move vertically. While rotating the push plate 2, the relief groove 23... The bottom of the groove 1 and the contact position of the connecting tube 30 are in a sliding state, which allows the connecting tube 30 and the internally threaded tube 22 to rotate relative to each other. In this way, when the patient pushes the push plate 2 in the horizontal circumferential direction for exercise, the wrist can bend freely with the position of the palm. This not only avoids the discomfort of holding the fixed position when the push plate 2 rotates, but also helps the patient's hand-brain coordination exercise needs. The push plate 2 can be pushed in the clockwise and counterclockwise directions, and the switching time period can be adjusted according to the patient's usage status.

[0028] In addition, when it is necessary to exercise hand strength, the positioning pin 21 is inserted into the positioning hole 113 to connect the push plate 2 and the pull block 11 into a whole. Hold the airbag body 4 and pull the pull block 11. The pull rope 17 drives the counterweight 12 to move upward. Due to the guide groove wheel 16, one side of the pull rope 17 is wrapped in the groove of the guide groove wheel 16, and the resistance of the pull rope 17 is small. In addition, the directional rod 14 passing through the counterweight 12 and the baffle 15 set on the edge of the receiving platform 13 can prevent the counterweight 12 from swinging and falling out and causing injury.

[0029] When multiple patients need to exercise at the same time but the content of the exercise is different, for example, one patient wants to exercise their fingers, while another wants to exercise their hand-brain coordination or hand strength, they only need to remove the limiting bolt 23 and take out the connecting sleeve 30, that is, remove the airbag body 4 from the push plate 2. In this way, they can achieve their respective exercise purposes by squeezing the airbag body 4 and rotating the push plate 2 or pulling the counterweight 12. It is convenient to switch and flexible to use.

[0030] It should be noted that, as Figure 5 As shown, if the push plate 2 is to be rotated by both the left and right hands at the same time, it is only necessary to add a push plate 2 and its corresponding positioning pin 21, positioning hole 113 and handle (not shown) to the bracket 1 (circled by the dotted line in the figure). A grip strength training mechanism can also be configured to facilitate the needs of elderly patients to exercise their left and right hands at the same time. Since the pull strength training mechanism does not have a clear distinction between left and right, it is not necessary to add a second counterweight 12 unless necessary, provided that unilateral training can be achieved. This can also save space and facilitate placement. The specific settings can be determined according to the specific usage.
