Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to a thermotherapy rehabilitation device. Background Technology

[0002] Tumor hyperthermia refers to a type of treatment that uses heating to treat tumors. The basic principle is to use physical energy to heat the whole body or a local area, raising the temperature of the tumor tissue to an effective therapeutic temperature and maintaining it for a certain period of time. By taking advantage of the difference in temperature tolerance between normal tissues and tumor cells, the treatment aims to induce apoptosis of tumor cells without damaging normal tissues.

[0003] In addition to normal treatment, hyperthermia can also be used for postoperative rehabilitation care to prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis. Currently, the devices used for hyperthermia only have a single heating function. Although they can complete the hyperthermia care, the care of cancer patients needs to pay attention not only to the tumor itself, but also to their physical and mental health. It is necessary not only to prevent patients from experiencing negative emotions such as pessimism and depression, but also to provide appropriate exercise to strengthen their physique and improve their quality of life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a thermotherapy rehabilitation device that can help patients recover their physical and mental health while providing heating therapy.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a thermotherapy rehabilitation device, comprising a mobile cart, a heating mechanism, an active mechanism, and a display screen;

[0006] The mobile trolley is equipped with wheels at the bottom and a placement slot at the top;

[0007] The heating mechanism includes a folding plate, a heating lamp, and a power supply. Two folding plates are hinged to each other, and one of them is also hinged to the side of the mobile trolley. The heating lamp is mounted on the other folding plate, and the power supply is located inside the mobile trolley and can supply power to the heating lamp.

[0008] The active mechanism includes a hand-operated component, comprising a turntable, a rocker arm, a spiral column, a push rod, a cylinder, and a conductive plate. The mobile trolley has a cavity. The turntable is rotatably mounted on the mobile trolley, with its two sides located outside the mobile trolley and inside the cavity, respectively. The rocker arm and the spiral column are respectively located on both sides of the turntable. The surface of the spiral column has a spiral groove. The push rod is movably mounted in the cavity along its axial direction and has a slide rod that is slidably connected to the spiral groove. The push rod is connected to one side of the conductive plate and can push the conductive plate to contact the power source, and when in contact, it supplies power to the heating lamp. The cylinder is located on the other side of the conductive plate.

[0009] The display screen is mounted on the folding plate, and the conductive sheet can also supply power to the display screen when it is in contact with a power source.

[0010] Push the mobile cart to the bedside, unfold the folding panel, and aim the heating lamp at the area requiring heat therapy. Then, turn on the power to supply power to the heating lamp. Once the heating lamp reaches a certain temperature, the patient can begin their exercise. A cylinder moves a conductive plate, disconnecting the heating lamp from the power source. The patient then grips a rocker arm and rotates it, driving the turntable and spiral column to rotate. Under the action of the spiral groove, the slide rod moves the push rod axially, pushing the conductive plate back into contact with the power source, energizing the heating lamp and maintaining the heating effect. Simultaneously, it sends a signal to the display screen, showing images and sounds related to success and celebration. After a short rest, the cylinder disconnects the conductive plate from the power source again, and the patient must rotate the rocker arm again, repeating the cycle of heating and hand exercises.

[0011] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned thermotherapy rehabilitation device are as follows: during the heating treatment, the heating lamp will be disconnected from the power supply, and the patient needs to turn the rocker arm to reconnect the power supply. After the connection is completed, a success prompt signal will be given. This achieves the effect of thermotherapy, allows the patient to move their hands, and enhances the patient's pleasure through sound and visuals.

[0012] Furthermore, the folding panels are hinged to each other via butterfly hinges and are also hinged to the mobile trolley via butterfly hinges.

[0013] The butterfly hinge can rotate the folding plate and then fix it in place, ensuring the stability of the heating lamp's position.

[0014] Furthermore, an extension rod is detachably connected to the end of the rocker arm away from the cavity.

[0015] Using an extension bar makes it easier for patients to turn the crank with their other hand or both hands.

[0016] Furthermore, the cavity is also provided with a rotatable driven gear, and the turntable is fitted with a driving gear on one side of the cavity. The driving gear meshes with the driven gear, and the helical column is connected to the driven gear.

[0017] After the rocker arm drives the turntable to rotate, the turntable drives the driving gear and the helical column to rotate through the driven gear, which in turn drives the push rod to move axially through the slide rod.

[0018] Furthermore, the movable mechanism also includes a leg movable component, including a second driving gear, a rack, and a push-pull rod. The second driving gear is rotatably disposed in the cavity and meshes with a driven gear. The rack is movably disposed in the cavity and meshes with the second driving gear. The movable trolley has a strip-shaped through hole connecting the outside and the cavity. The push-pull rod is slidably connected to the strip-shaped through hole, with one end located outside the movable trolley and the other end connected to the rack.

[0019] Patients who need leg movement can step on the push-pull rod, causing it to move within the strip-shaped through hole. This moves the rack axially, which in turn rotates the drive gear and the driven gear and helical column, thus driving the push rod to move and bring the conductive sheet into contact with the power source to ensure the heating lamp is powered.

[0020] Furthermore, the rack is also connected to the inner wall of the cavity via a spring.

[0021] The spring provides resistance when the patient pushes the rack, thus providing resistance training for the legs.

[0022] Furthermore, the rack is detachably connected to the spring, one end of the spring is connected to the cavity, and the other end is provided with an L-shaped plate, and the end of the rack can abut against the corner of the L-shaped plate;

[0023] The push-pull rod has a threaded hole along the axial direction and is threadedly connected to a screw. The rack has a movable connecting rod and a limiting rod. The connecting rod can move along the axial direction of the rack. The limiting rod is set perpendicular to the connecting rod and can pass through the rack and be inserted into the L-shaped plate. The end of the screw has a cone block. The end of the limiting rod has a ramp. The two ends of the connecting rod have a curved surface and a ramp that can fit with the cone block and the ramp, respectively.

[0024] When using it, you can choose whether to use the spring resistance training according to the patient's condition. By rotating the screw in the push-pull rod, it moves axially. The screw pushes the connecting rod to move axially through the cone at the end. The other end of the connecting rod pushes the limit rod to move and insert it into the L-shaped plate, thus completing the connection between the spring and the rack.

[0025] Furthermore, the folding plate is provided with a groove, and the display screen is rotatably disposed within the groove.

[0026] Placing the display screen in the recess makes it easy to store. Attached Figure Description

[0037] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a thermotherapy rehabilitation device, including a mobile cart 10, a heating mechanism 20, an activity mechanism and a display screen 40. The mobile cart 10 is used to carry the device, the heating mechanism 20 can perform thermotherapy on the patient's body, the activity mechanism can help the patient to perform hand or leg movements, and the display screen 40 can play videos and music for the patient to watch.

[0039] Specifically, the mobile cart 10 is equipped with rollers 11 at the bottom and a storage slot 12 at the top. The rollers 11 are used for moving the device, the storage slot 12 is used for placing frequently used items, and a drawer can also be set at the bottom for storing various items.

[0040] The heating mechanism 20 includes folding plates 21, a heating lamp 22, and a power supply 23. Two folding plates 21 are hinged together, and one of them is also hinged to the side of the mobile trolley 10. The heating lamp 22 is mounted on the other folding plate 21, and the power supply 23 is located inside the mobile trolley 10, providing power to the heating lamp. In this embodiment, the folding plates 21 are hinged together by butterfly hinges and also hinged to the mobile trolley, allowing the folding plates to be rotated and then fixed, ensuring the stability of the heating lamp 22.

[0041] The active mechanism includes a hand-operated component 31, comprising a turntable 311, a rocker arm 312, a spiral column 313, a push rod 314, a cylinder 315, and a conductive sheet 316. The movable trolley 10 has a cavity. The turntable 311 is rotatably embedded in the movable trolley 10, with its two sides located outside the movable trolley and inside the cavity, respectively. The rocker arm 312 and the spiral column 313 are respectively located on both sides of the turntable 311, with the rocker arm 312 located at a non-central position on the outer side. The surface of the spiral column 313 has a spiral groove 3131. The push rod 314 is movably disposed in the cavity along its axial direction and has a slide rod 3141 slidably connected to the spiral groove 3131. The push rod 314 is connected to one side of the conductive sheet 316 and can push the conductive sheet 316 toward the power source 23 to make contact, and when in contact, it supplies power to the heating lamp. The cylinder 315 is located on the other side of the conductive sheet 316. The display screen 40 is mounted on the folding plate 21. When the conductive sheet 316 is in contact with the power supply 23, it can also supply power to the display screen 40.

[0042] The mobile cart 10 is pushed to the bedside. After the folding panel 21 is opened, the heating lamp 22 is aimed at the area of ​​the patient requiring heat therapy. Then, the power supply 23 is turned on to power the heating lamp 22. Once the temperature of the heating lamp reaches a certain level, the patient can begin hand exercises. First, the cylinder 315 moves the conductive plate 316, separating it from the power supply 23 and thus cutting off the power to the heating lamp. Then, the patient holds and rotates the rocker arm 312, which drives the turntable 311 and the spiral column 313 to rotate. Under the action of the spiral groove 3131, the push rod 314, which can only move axially, is driven by the slide rod 3141 to move axially, thereby pushing the conductive plate 316 to contact the power supply 23 again, powering the heating lamp 22 to maintain the heating effect. At the same time, it can also send a signal to the display screen 40, displaying images and sounds of success and cheers, enhancing the patient's pleasure. After a short rest, cylinder 315 pushes conductive plate 316 to disconnect from power supply 23 again. If the patient's hand is still on rocker arm 312, it will be passively rotated with rocker arm 312. The patient then rotates rocker arm 312 again, repeating the heating and hand movement cycle. This achieves the effect of heat therapy, allows the patient to complete both active and passive hand movements, and enhances the patient's pleasure through sound and visuals.

[0043] In this embodiment, the heating lamp 22 is connected to the conductive sheet 316 via wires. Once the conductive sheet 316 contacts the positive and negative terminals of the battery, it energizes the wires. This is existing technology and will not be elaborated further. Simultaneously, the conductive sheet 316 is also equipped with a sensor, which can send a signal to the display screen 40 after being energized.

[0044] Furthermore, an extension rod 3121 is detachably connected to the end of the rocker arm 312 away from the cavity. Using the extension rod 3121, the patient can easily turn the rocker arm 312 with one or both hands. The connection method can be a threaded connection, etc. When not in use, the extension rod 3121 can be placed in the trolley.

[0045] Specifically, the cavity also includes a rotatable driven gear 33, and a drive gear 317 is fitted onto one side of the turntable 311 within the cavity. The drive gear 317 meshes with the driven gear 33, and a helical column 313 is mounted on the driven gear 33. By rotating the turntable 311 via the rocker arm 312, the driven gear 33 can drive the drive gear 317 and the helical column 313 to rotate, causing the slide rod 3141 to drive the push rod 314 to move axially.

[0046] The movement mechanism also includes a leg movement component 32, comprising a second drive gear 321, a rack 322, and a push-pull rod 323. The second drive gear 321 is rotatably mounted in the cavity and meshes with a driven gear 33. The rack 322 is movably mounted in the cavity and meshes with the second drive gear 321. The movable trolley 10 has a strip-shaped through hole 13 connecting the outside and the cavity. The push-pull rod 323 is slidably connected to the strip-shaped through hole 13, with one end located outside the movable trolley and the other end connected to the rack 322. Patients who need leg movement can step on the push-pull rod 323, causing it to move within the strip-shaped through hole 13. This causes the rack 322 to move axially, thereby rotating the second drive gear 321 and the driven gear 33 and the helical column 313, which in turn drive the push rod 314 to move, bringing the conductive sheet 316 into contact with the power supply 23 to power the heating lamp 22.

[0047] In this embodiment, the rack 322 is also connected to the inner wall of the cavity via a spring 324, which can provide a certain resistance when the patient pushes the rack 322, thus achieving the effect of resistance training for the legs.

[0048] The rack 322 is detachably connected to the spring 324. One end of the spring 324 is connected to the cavity, and the other end is provided with an L-shaped plate 3241. The end of the rack 322 can abut against the corner of the L-shaped plate 3241. The push-pull rod 323 has a threaded hole along the axial direction and is threadedly connected to a screw 3231. The rack 322 has a movable connecting rod 3221 and a limiting rod 3222. The connecting rod 3221 can move along the axial direction of the rack 322. The limiting rod 3222 is set perpendicular to the connecting rod 3221 and can pass through the rack 322 and be inserted into the L-shaped plate 3241. The end of the screw 3231 is provided with a cone 3232. The end of the limiting rod 3222 has a ramp. The two ends of the connecting rod 3221 are respectively provided with a curved surface and a ramp that can fit with the cone 3232 and the ramp.

[0049] When using this device, you can choose whether to use the spring 324 for resistance training depending on the patient's condition. First, move the push-pull rod 323 to press the rack 322 against the L-shaped plate 3241. Then, rotate the screw 3231 to move it axially. The cone block 3232 at the end pushes the connecting rod 3221 to move axially. The other end of the connecting rod 3221 then pushes the limiting rod 3222 to move and insert it into the L-shaped plate 3241, thus completing the connection between the spring 324 and the rack 322.

[0050] In this embodiment, push rod 314, connecting rod 3221 and limiting rod 3222 all have a limiting function that can only move along the axial direction. The limiting structure includes setting a limiting hole, etc., which is the prior art and will not be described in detail.

[0051] Furthermore, the folding plate 21 has a groove, and the display screen 40 is rotatably mounted in the groove for easy storage.

[0052] The working principle of the aforementioned thermotherapy rehabilitation device is as follows: A mobile cart 10 is pushed to the bedside. After the folding panel 21 is opened, the heating lamp 22 is aimed at the area requiring thermotherapy. The power supply 23 is turned on to power the heating lamp 22. Once the heating lamp reaches a certain temperature, the patient can begin hand or leg movements. First, the cylinder 315 pushes the conductive plate 316 to move, separating it from the power supply 23, thus cutting off power to the heating lamp. For hand movements, the patient grips and rotates the rocker arm 312. This drives the spiral column 313 to rotate via the driving gear 317 and driven gear 33. Under the action of the spiral groove 3131, the push rod 314 is moved axially by the slide rod 3141, thereby pushing the conductive plate 316 back into contact with the power supply 23, powering the heating lamp to maintain the heating effect. Simultaneously, a signal is sent to the display screen 40, displaying images and sounds of success and cheers, enhancing the patient's pleasure. If it is leg movement, the patient uses their feet to move the push-pull rod 323, which drives the spiral column 313 to rotate through the rack 322, the driving gear 321 and the driven gear 33.

[0053] After a short rest, cylinder 315 pushes conductive plate 316 to disconnect from power supply 23 again, and the patient's hand or foot will move passively. The patient then shakes rocker arm 312 or pushes push-pull rod 323 again, repeating the heating and movement training cycle. If resistance training is required for leg movement, screw 3231 can be rotated to make cone block 3232 push connecting rod 3221, thereby pushing limit rod 3222 into L-shaped plate 3241, connecting rack 322 to L-shaped plate 3241, and providing resistance through spring 324.

[0054] Using the aforementioned thermotherapy rehabilitation device, the heating lamp can achieve the effect of thermotherapy, while also allowing patients to perform hand and leg movements and appropriately exercise their bodies. Furthermore, it can emit sounds and images of success after each exercise session, thereby enhancing the patient's sense of well-being.

[0055] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of the present invention.
