Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of rehabilitation and convalescence, and in particular to an adjustable electric hydrotherapy platform. Background Art

[0002] Hydrotherapy is a method of preventing and treating diseases by using water with different temperatures, pressures and solute contents and acting on the human body in different ways. The effects of hydrotherapy on the human body mainly include temperature stimulation, mechanical stimulation and chemical stimulation.

[0003] Due to the rise of rehabilitation medicine and the enhancement of people's health awareness, the rehabilitation value of hydrotherapy has been continuously presented. The buoyancy of water can reduce the pressure borne by joints, and the resistance of water changes with the speed of limb movement. Therefore, movement in water is much safer than movement on the ground. Due to these unique advantages of hydrotherapy, hydrotherapy rooms are provided in the rehabilitation centers of many hospitals in European and American countries. The current hydrotherapy room has a simple and fixed structure, and the height of the hydrotherapy pool cannot be adjusted, resulting in relatively high operation difficulty for patients to get on and off the water, relatively large potential safety hazards, and relatively limited applicable population. Therefore, some electric hydrotherapy platforms have emerged on the market, but most of their transmission methods are simple and limited, resulting in high energy consumption, and the lifting mechanism has high requirements for structural rigidity, resulting in very high costs.

The upper end of the side lifting support is welded and fixed with a top transmission sleeve that cooperates with the longitudinal lifting frame. A longitudinal external threaded rod with the upper end fixedly connected to the lower rotating shaft of the driving motor is longitudinally installed inside the longitudinal lifting frame. A stable lifting device is arranged on the inner surface of the top transmission sleeve. The platform body is a hollow structure.

A lateral transmission port is opened on the side wall of the longitudinally arranged lifting frame near the external thread transmission block, and a lateral transmission groove is opened on the outer side of the longitudinally arranged lifting frame near the lateral stabilizing wheel.

[0007] Further, for the purpose of cooperating with inflation and deflation, external thread connecting pipes with an integral structure are provided at the upper end of the platform body, the lower end of the centrifugal air pump, and the lower outer side of the longitudinally arranged pneumatic strut. An external air pipe is fixedly installed inside the side-mounted lifting bracket. Inner thread assembly pipes are fixedly connected to both ends of the external air pipe.

[0010] Further, for the purpose of improving the surface safety and comfort, a middle support guardrail facilitating people's movement and support on the surface is fixedly installed at the upper end of the platform body through bolts, and electric heating pipes are fixedly installed inside the lateral guardrail frame and the middle support guardrail.

[0011] Further, for the purpose of improving the bottom support performance and protection ability, a bottom support protection frame is welded and fixed below the platform body at the lower end of the bottom lifting support frame.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0013] (1) In the adjustable electric hydrotherapy platform of the present invention, the longitudinally arranged external threaded rod inside the longitudinally arranged lifting frame is rotated by the top drive motor, thereby controlling the lifting of the platform body, the bottom lifting support frame, and the side-mounted lifting bracket, facilitating the entry and exit of patients and medical staff into and out of the hydrotherapy pool, greatly reducing the operation difficulty of entering and exiting the hydrotherapy pool, and reducing potential safety hazards;

The driving motor 4 controls the forward and backward rotation of the longitudinal external threaded rod 10 to drive the platform body 5, the bottom lifting support frame 7, the side lifting support 8, and the top transmission sleeve 9 to lift and lower. When the platform body 5 rises, the longitudinal air pressure strut 11 is controlled to extend by controlling the inflation of the centrifugal air pump 6, and at the same time, the liquid water inside the platform body 5 is discharged. The buoyancy of the platform body 5 is increased by filling in air, and the lifting resistance is reduced by using the buoyancy. When the platform body 5 descends, the air inside the platform body 5 and the longitudinal air pressure strut 11 is pumped out to pump the water body into the platform body 5, reducing the resistance during descent. A stable lifting device is arranged on the inner side surface of the top transmission sleeve 9. The platform body 5 is a hollow structure. Three longitudinal air pressure struts 11 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the spa pool 1. The upper end of the longitudinal air pressure strut 11 is axially fixedly connected with a top sealing plug 12.

Both ends of the external gas transmission pipe 21 are fixedly connected with internal thread assembly pipes 22. The external gas transmission pipe 21 is threadedly connected to the external thread connecting pipe 20 through the internal thread assembly pipe 22 to communicate with the platform body 5 and the centrifugal air pump 6.

[0025] Further, in order to cooperate with improving the bottom sealing performance, the inner diameter of the bottom water inlet and exhaust hole 13 and the outer diameter of the top sealing plug 12 gradually increase from top to bottom. Further, in order to improve the guiding and supporting performance of the bottom, a lateral bottom transmission groove 24 with an internal bottom support wheel 23 is provided on the outer side of the longitudinal lifting frame 3 near the side lifting support 8, and a bottom guiding groove 25 matching the bottom support wheel 23 is provided on the outer side of the side lifting support 8 near the bottom support wheel 23.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0028] (1) In an adjustable electric hydrotherapy platform of the present invention, the longitudinal external threaded rod 10 inside the longitudinal lifting frame 3 is rotated by the top drive motor 4, thereby controlling the lifting and lowering of the platform body 5, the bottom lifting support frame 7, and the side lifting support 8, facilitating patients and medical staff to enter and exit the hydrotherapy pool, greatly reducing the operation difficulty of entering and exiting the hydrotherapy pool, and reducing potential safety hazards;

[0029] (2) A centrifugal air pump 6 connected to the inside of the platform body 5 and the longitudinal pneumatic strut 11 is installed at the upper end of the side lifting support 8.
