[0020] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0021] See also Figure 1-5The embodiment of the present invention discloses a gait balance training device, which includes a base 100, a movable frame 200, a running mechanism 300 and a tilting mechanism; the tilting mechanism is arranged on the base, the movable frame 200 is arranged on the tilting mechanism, and the running mechanism 300 is arranged on the movable frame 200; the tilting mechanism includes a front and rear tilting component and a left and right tilting component; the two ends of the front and rear tilting component are respectively hinged to the movable frame 200 and the base 100, and the length between the two ends of the front and rear tilting component is retractable, and the connection point between the front and rear tilting component and the movable frame 200 is not on the transverse symmetry axis of the movable frame 200; the two ends of the left and right tilting component are respectively hinged to the movable frame 200 and the base 100, and the length between the two ends of the left and right tilting component is retractable, and the connection point between the left and right tilting component and the movable frame 200 is not on the longitudinal symmetry axis of the movable frame 200. Through such an arrangement, when the front-to-back tilting assembly is extended, it can drive one side of the front and rear sides of the movable frame 200 to rise, so that the movable frame 200 can be tilted in the front-to-back direction. When the left-right tilting assembly is extended, it can drive one side of the left and right sides of the movable frame 200 to rise, so that the movable frame 200 can be tilted in the left-right direction. When the patient walks or runs on the treadmill 300, the patient needs to adjust the muscle force according to the tilt state of the components of the device so as to maintain balance on the treadmill 300. Therefore, the device can exercise multiple muscles of the patient, and the device occupies a small area and is easy to use.

[0022] The position of the transverse symmetry axis of the movable frame 200 in the training device coincides with the line connecting the midpoints of the two sides of the movable frame 200 along the length direction, and the position of the longitudinal symmetry axis of the movable frame 200 coincides with the line connecting the midpoints of the two sides of the movable frame 200 along the width direction. In this embodiment, the connection point between the left and right tilting assembly and the movable frame 200 is at the bottom of the left edge of the movable frame 200, and the connection point between the front and rear tilting assembly and the movable frame 200 is at the rear half of the movable frame 200.

[0023] The base 100 contacts the ground to support the components disposed thereon, and the tilting mechanism tilts the movable frame 200 in various postures by adjusting in the front-rear direction and the left-right direction, so that the running mechanism 300 also tilts accordingly. The running mechanism 300 can adopt a general treadmill structure as long as it can realize the running function.

[0024] In this embodiment, the front-to-back tilting assembly is a front-to-back tilting electric cylinder 410, whose piston rod is hinged to the movable frame 200. The left-to-right tilting assembly is a left-to-right tilting electric cylinder 420, whose piston rod is hinged to the movable frame 200. In this embodiment, the front-to-back tilting assembly and the left-to-right tilting assembly are both driven by electric cylinders, which are low in cost and simple in control process. In some other embodiments, the two tilting assemblies may also be driven by air cylinders, oil cylinders and other driving devices. The front-to-back tilting assembly and the left-to-right tilting assembly may be connected to the movable frame 200 via a universal joint to make the tilting mode of the movable frame 200 more diverse.

[0025] In order to further increase the adjustment of the running mechanism 300, in this embodiment, the training device further includes a transverse driving assembly 500 and a connecting frame 210, wherein the connecting frame 210 is slidably connected to the movable frame 200, the transverse driving assembly 500 is arranged on the movable frame 200 and is in transmission connection with the connecting frame 210, and the transverse driving assembly 500 can drive the connecting frame 210 to slide relative to the movable frame 200; the running mechanism 300 is arranged on the connecting frame 210. A transverse sliding rail 510 is arranged on the top surface of the movable frame 200, and the connecting frame 210 is clamped with the transverse sliding rail 510. A clamping block is arranged at the bottom of the connecting frame 210, and the clamping block is clamped with the transverse sliding rail 510, so that the connecting frame 210 can only move along the direction of the transverse sliding rail 510. In this embodiment, the transverse driving assembly 500 is an electric cylinder. The transverse drive assembly 500 drives the connecting frame 210 to slide along the transverse slide rail 510 through the extension and retraction of the piston rod, thereby driving the running mechanism 300 to translate along the transverse slide rail 510. Through such a setting, the training equipment can apply lateral displacement on the basis of tilting the running mechanism 300 to increase the diversity of the patient's balance ability training.

[0026] The training device further comprises a handrail 310, a bracket 320, a suspension frame 330 and a ladder 340. The handrail 310 is arranged on the movable frame 200. The bracket 320 is arranged on the movable frame 200, and the suspension frame 330 is arranged at the bracket 320 and located above the running mechanism 300. The ladder 340 is arranged beside the base 100. The patient can step from the ladder 340 to the running mechanism 300. The suspension frame 330 is used to hang a strap, and the strap is tied to the patient before the patient exercises to prevent the patient from falling during the exercise.

[0027] The training device further includes a damping rod 600, the two ends of which are respectively hinged to the running mechanism 300 and the movable frame 200. The damping rod 600 can provide a buffer for the running mechanism 300 when the patient is running, so as to prevent the patient's movement from causing excessive vibration of the device.

[0028] The gait balance training device of the present invention enables the running mechanism to be adjusted to a variety of tilting postures by setting the tilting mechanism, thereby helping the patient to improve the balance ability when walking.
