Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gout training devices, and more particularly to a foot training device for gout patients. Background Technology
[0002] Gout is directly related to hyperuricemia caused by purine metabolism disorder and / or reduced uric acid excretion. It falls under the category of metabolic rheumatic diseases. Gout can lead to kidney disease, and in severe cases, it can cause joint destruction and kidney damage. It is often accompanied by hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, and coronary heart disease.
[0003] Gout can cause pain, swelling, redness, and inflammation in the joints, especially in the legs. Patients may experience pain in the first toe or ankle, and even develop tophi. During an acute gout attack, patients need to immobilize their feet, while during remission, they need to perform functional exercises on their feet. However, it is difficult for patients to exercise on their own. Therefore, a foot training device for gout patients is needed to solve these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] (I) Purpose of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a foot training device for gout patients, so as to achieve the elevation of the patient's legs and foot elevation training.

A support column is fixedly connected to the top of the first mounting plate, and a foot pedal is rotatably connected to the top of the support column. A rotating groove that mates with the top of the support column is located in the center of the bottom side of the foot pedal. Lifting rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the foot pedal, with the bottom ends of the lifting rods fixedly connected to the top of the first mounting plate. It should be noted that the top of the foot pedal is equipped with an anti-slip pad to prevent slipping when the patient raises one end of their foot.
[0009] A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom side of the first mounting plate. The inside of the housing is provided with a first sliding groove for the sliding rod to slide. The first sliding groove is connected to the inner groove. The sliding rod is provided with a height adjustment mechanism to raise the sliding rod. A second sliding rod is slidably connected to the top of the first mounting plate. The inside of the housing is provided with a sliding assembly for sliding the second sliding rod.
[0010] Preferably, the height adjustment mechanism includes a threaded rod threadedly connected to the inside of the sliding rod, the sliding rod having a threaded hole that mates with the threaded rod, one end of the threaded rod being fixedly connected to a limiting plate, and the sliding rod having a second groove that mates with the limiting plate.
[0011] Preferably, the housing has an internal movable groove that communicates with a first sliding groove. A second worm gear is installed inside the movable groove. One end of the second worm gear is movably connected to one side of the inner wall of the movable groove via a bearing, and the other end of the second worm gear is fixedly connected to a first worm gear. A motor is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the movable groove, and the end of the first worm gear furthest from the second worm gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. It should be noted that when the motor is turned on, the first and second worm gears rotate simultaneously, allowing the patient's foot to simultaneously perform one-sided leg elevation training while the leg is being raised.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom end of the threaded rod extends into the interior of the movable groove and is rotatably connected to the bottom inner wall of the movable groove. A first turbine is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bottom of the threaded rod, and the outer side of the first turbine meshes with the outer side of the first worm gear.
[0013] Preferably, the sliding assembly includes a second turbine that meshes with the outer side of the second worm gear. A cylindrical rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second turbine. The bottom of the cylindrical rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the movable groove. A first sliding rod is fixedly connected to the top of the second turbine. A sleeve rod is slidably connected to the outer side of the first sliding rod. A fourth sliding groove that cooperates with the sleeve rod is opened inside the housing. The fourth sliding groove is connected to the movable groove. A third sliding groove that cooperates with the first sliding rod is opened inside the sleeve rod.
[0014] Preferably, the top end of the sleeve rod penetrates through the first mounting plate and extends to the outside of the first mounting plate, and the outer side of the sleeve rod is movably connected to the middle part of the first mounting plate through a bearing.
[0015] Preferably, a rotating groove is provided on the outer side of the sleeve rod, and a sliding block is slidably connected inside the rotating groove. The sliding block is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bottom of the second sliding rod.
[0016] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the first mounting plate, and two sets of second mounting plates are fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate. The second slide rod is slidably connected to the middle of the second mounting plate, and a sliding hole for the second slide rod to cooperate with each other is opened in the middle of the second mounting plate.
[0017] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1: By starting the motor, the first worm gear rotates, which in turn rotates the threaded rod, causing the sliding rod to move upward, thus raising the patient's leg placed on the footrest for training, making the training more convenient for the patient.
[0019] 2: When the motor starts, the second worm gear also rotates synchronously with the first worm gear, which causes the first slide rod to rotate and drive the sleeve rod to rotate. This causes the rotating groove to rotate and drive the second slide rod to slide upward through the sliding block, raising one end of the foot pedal and thus raising one end of the patient's foot. This allows the patient to perform foot raising training simultaneously while performing leg raising training. Attached Figure Description

The sliding rod 7 is provided with a height adjustment mechanism to raise the sliding rod 7. A second sliding rod 22 is slidably connected to the top of the first mounting plate 2. The inside of the housing 1 is provided with a sliding assembly for sliding the second sliding rod 22.
[0033] The height adjustment mechanism includes a threaded rod 8 threadedly connected to the inside of the sliding rod 7. The sliding rod 7 has a threaded hole that cooperates with the threaded rod 8. One end of the threaded rod 8 is fixedly connected to a limiting plate 11. The sliding rod 7 has a second groove 10 that cooperates with the limiting plate 11.
[0034] It is worth mentioning that the housing 1 has an internal movable groove 16, which is connected to the first sliding groove 9. The movable groove 16 is equipped with a second worm gear 14. One end of the second worm gear 14 is movably connected to one side of the inner wall of the movable groove 16 through a bearing. The other end of the second worm gear 14 is fixedly connected to a first worm gear 13. A motor 27 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the movable groove 16. The end of the first worm gear 13 away from the second worm gear 14 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 27.
[0035] In addition, the bottom end of the threaded rod 8 extends into the interior of the movable groove 16 and is rotatably connected to the bottom inner wall of the movable groove 16. The outer side of the bottom of the threaded rod 8 is fixedly connected to the first turbine 12, and the outer side of the first turbine 12 meshes with the outer side of the first worm gear 13.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] A foot training device for gout patients, based on Embodiment 1, includes a sliding assembly comprising a second turbine 15 meshing with the outer side of a second worm gear 14. A cylindrical rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second turbine 15, and the bottom of the cylindrical rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom of a movable groove 16. A first sliding rod 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the second turbine 15, and a sleeve rod 18 is slidably connected to the outer side of the first sliding rod 17. A fourth sliding groove 26, which cooperates with the sleeve rod 18, is provided inside the housing 1. The fourth sliding groove 26 communicates with the movable groove 16. A third sliding groove 20, which cooperates with the first sliding rod 17, is provided inside the sleeve rod 18. It should be noted that the first sliding rod 17 is a cuboid, allowing the threaded rod 8 to rotate synchronously when the first sliding rod 17 rotates, and the fourth sliding groove 26 communicates with the inner groove 5.
[0038] In addition, the top end of the sleeve 18 passes through the first mounting plate 2 and extends to the outside of the first mounting plate 2, and the outer side of the sleeve 18 is movably connected to the middle of the first mounting plate 2 via a bearing. It should be noted that the connection between the sleeve 18 and the first mounting plate 2 via the bearing allows the rotating groove 19 to move upward synchronously when the first mounting plate 2 moves upward.
[0039] It should be noted that a rotating groove 19 is provided on the outer side of the sleeve rod 18, and a sliding block 21 is slidably connected inside the rotating groove 19. The sliding block 21 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bottom of the second sliding rod 22.
[0040] It is also worth mentioning that a fixing plate 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the first mounting plate 2, and two sets of second mounting plates 23 are fixedly connected to one side of the fixing plate 24. The second slide rod 22 is slidably connected to the middle of the second mounting plate 23, and the middle of the second mounting plate 23 is provided with sliding holes for the second slide rod 22 to cooperate with each other.
[0041] Specifically, the rotation of the sleeve rod 18 causes the rotating groove 19 to rotate, thereby causing the sliding block 21 to move upward along the rotating groove 19, which in turn causes the second sliding rod 22 to move upward, thereby raising one end of the patient's foot.
[0042] Working principle: First, the patient places the instep of one foot on the foot pedal 4. Then, the motor 27 starts, driving the first worm gear 13 and the second worm gear 14 to rotate. When the first worm gear 13 rotates, it drives the first turbine 12 to rotate, causing the threaded rod 8 to rotate. This causes the sliding rod 7 to slide upward in the first slide groove 9, causing the first mounting plate 2 to move upward and leave the inner groove 5. This also causes the support column 6 to move upward, which in turn causes the foot pedal 4 to move upward together, thereby lifting the patient's foot and thus performing leg-raising training.
[0043] Meanwhile, the second worm gear 14 also rotates synchronously, thereby driving the second turbine 15 to rotate, causing the first slide rod 17 to rotate and driving the sleeve rod 18 to rotate synchronously. Since the sleeve rod 18 is connected to the first mounting plate 2 by a bearing, when the first mounting plate 2 moves upward, it drives the sleeve rod 18 to move upward together, so that the sleeve rod 18 slides upward along the first slide rod 17 in the fourth slide groove 26. Since the sleeve rod 18 is in a rotating state, the rotating groove 19 rotates, and the sliding block 21 slides in the rotating groove 19, further driving the second slide rod 22 to move upward. Since the middle part of the foot pedal 4 is rotatably connected to the top of the support column 6, one end of the foot pedal 4 can be raised, and the two sets of foot pedals 4 also work together to raise and lower, so that when the patient is doing leg raising training, their feet are also being raised.
[0044] The exemplary implementation of the solution proposed in this disclosure has been described in detail above with reference to preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will understand that various modifications and alterations can be made to the above specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of this disclosure, and various combinations can be made to the various technical features and structures proposed in this disclosure without exceeding the protection scope of this disclosure, which is determined by the appended claims.
