Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention particularly relates to an auxiliary exercise device for expectant mothers. Background Art

[0002] Prenatal exercises are a series of exercises performed during pregnancy to aid in childbirth and postpartum recovery. These exercises are designed to help women adjust their physical condition, strengthen their physique, and boost their immunity. They also help alleviate pregnancy discomforts such as leg pain and swelling. These exercises not only contribute to a woman's overall health but also have a positive impact on a smooth delivery and postpartum recovery.

[0003] For example, the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN114247096A provides a gynecological and obstetric prenatal hip exercise device. The mother can use her legs to step on the pedals to drive the massage roller to rotate.

[0052] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present invention and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.

[0053] Example:

[0054] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, the present invention provides a labor assistance exercise device, comprising a flexible pad 101, a housing 104 disposed at one end of the flexible pad 101, a baffle 105 disposed on one side of the housing 104, and two sets of mounting rods 201 rotatably disposed on the housing 104. The ends of the two sets of mounting rods 201 are rotatably mounted on the baffle 105. A first sleeve 202 and a second sleeve 205 are slidably mounted on the mounting rods 201. A support frame 203 is hingedly connected to the first sleeve 202, a leg support 204 is hingedly connected to the end of the support frame 203, a pedal 206 is hingedly connected to the second sleeve 205, and a first elastic member 207 is disposed between the second sleeve 205 and the baffle 105.

[0055] The device can be placed on a bed for use. When in use, it is laid flat on the bed. The mother lies on the flexible mat 101, binds the leg support 204 to the end of the thigh, and places the sole of the foot on the pedal 206 for use. During use, the mother can kick her legs to drive the second sleeve 205 to slide on the mounting rod 201. At the same time, the movement of the thigh drives the first sleeve 202 to slide, and causes the support frame 203 to rotate along the hinge point with the first sleeve 202. During the sliding process, the second sleeve 205 cooperates with the baffle 105 to compress the first elastic member 207, thereby exercising the leg muscles. The support frame 203 can also be flipped to both sides by performing hip exercises, so as to drive the first sleeve 202 to rotate along its axis, thereby driving the mounting rod 201 to rotate, thereby exercising the hip muscles.

[0056] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a connecting rope 102 is provided on a flexible pad 101, and a wristband 103 is attached to the end of the connecting rope 102. During exercise, the wristband 103 can be held with both hands and placed on the leg to drive the entire device into motion, ensuring stability and safety during exercise while improving the convenience of use. Furthermore, the device is compact and easy to carry, allowing mothers to perform prenatal exercises at any time to enhance their exercise effectiveness.

[0057] like Figure 2 、 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting wheel 306 is slidably and rotatably provided in the shell 104, a connecting ring 301 is sleeved on the first sleeve 202, a driving rope 302 is provided on the connecting ring 301, the end of the driving rope 302 passes around the mounting wheel 306 and is connected to the shell 104, a tooth groove 303 is provided on the driving rope 302 along its extension direction, a gear 307 is provided on the outer circumference of the mounting wheel 306, and the tooth groove 303 is engaged with the gear 307.

[0058] During the leg-stretching movement, the drive rope 302 can be pulled by the connecting ring 301 to move. The drive rope 302 can drive the mounting wheel 306 to slide during the movement, and at the same time, the mounting wheel 306 can rotate. The cooperation between the tooth groove 303 and the gear 307 can prevent the drive rope 302 and the mounting wheel 306 from slipping, so that the drive rope 302 can stably control the rotation of the mounting wheel 306 during the movement.

[0059] like Figure 2 、 3As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting wheel 306 is provided with a resistance unit connected to the housing 104, and the resistance unit applies resistance to the sliding and rotation of the mounting wheel 306. The resistance unit includes a movable frame 304 slidably disposed within the housing 104, and the mounting wheel 306 is rotatably disposed on the movable frame 304 along its axis. A first resistance mechanism connected to the movable frame 304 is provided within the housing 104, and resistance is applied to the movement of the movable frame 304 through the first resistance mechanism. The first resistance mechanism includes a guide rod 106 within the housing 104, and the movable frame 304 is slidably mounted on the guide rod 106. A second elastic member 305 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 104 away from the flexible pad 101, and the second elastic member 305 abuts against the movable frame 304.

[0060] When the driving rope 302 is pulled, the movable frame 304 can be driven to slide along the guide rod 106. During the sliding process, the movable frame 304 can compress the second elastic member 305, thereby applying resistance to the leg movement through the force generated by the second elastic member 305, and cooperating with the first elastic member 207 to exercise the legs.

[0061] like Figure 2 、 3 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in this embodiment, the resistance unit further includes a second resistance mechanism, which is disposed on the movable frame 304 and connected to the mounting wheel 306 to apply resistance to the rotation of the mounting wheel 306. The second resistance mechanism includes a knob 503 rotatably disposed on the movable frame 304 along its axis. The knob 503 is provided with a propulsion wheel 501. The propulsion wheel 501 is symmetrically provided with two sets of involute protrusions 502. Two sets of relatively slidable push blocks 404 are disposed within the movable frame 304. The push blocks 404 are provided with a receiving seat 405 on the side facing the propulsion wheel 501, and the protrusions 502 abut against the receiving seat 405. Two sets of relatively slidable clamping frames 401 are also disposed within the movable frame 304. A friction plate 402 is provided on one side of the clamping frame 401, and the friction plate 402 contacts the inner side of the mounting wheel 306. A third elastic member 403 is disposed between the clamping frame 401 and the push blocks 404.

[0062] During the exercise, the propulsion wheel 501 can also be driven to rotate by turning the knob 503. During the rotation, the propulsion wheel 501 can push the push block 404 to slide through the protrusion 502, thereby squeezing the third elastic member 403, so that the friction between the friction plate 402 and the mounting wheel 306 increases, thereby increasing the force required for the rotation of the mounting wheel 306, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the intensity of the exercise of the mother. Moreover, since the protrusion 502 is an involute protrusion, the intensity of the exercise of the mother can be adjusted in multiple gears, which is suitable for mothers with different physical conditions.

[0063] like Figure 3 、5 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in this embodiment, the knob 503 is provided with a locking assembly connected to the movable frame 304. The locking assembly can selectively lock or unlock the position of the knob 503. The locking assembly includes a toothed disc 504 disposed at the end of the knob 503, a clamping block 308 disposed at the bottom of the movable frame 304, and the clamping block 308 can be clamped on the toothed disc 504. A fourth elastic member 505 is disposed between the knob 503 and the movable frame 304.

[0064] The fourth elastic member 505 can be compressed by pressing the knob 503 downward, so that the toothed disc 504 is disengaged from the block 308, and the position fixation of the knob 503 can be released, so that the knob 503 can be rotated to adjust the exercise intensity. After adjustment, the knob 503 is released, and the toothed disc 504 can be reset under the action of the fourth elastic member 505, and the block 308 is again clamped on the toothed disc 504 to complete the position fixation of the knob 503. This structure can make the adjustment of the exercise intensity more convenient and stable.

[0065] like Figure 2 、 4 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in this embodiment, a linkage assembly connected to the drive rope 302 is provided at the end of the mounting rod 201. The drive rope 302 is pulled by the linkage assembly when the mounting rod 201 rotates. The linkage assembly includes a movable rod 602 slidably disposed within the housing 104. A ring 604 is provided at the end of the movable rod 602. The drive rope 302 passes through the ring 604. A drive frame 603 is provided on the movable rod 602. A drive column 601 is eccentrically provided at the end of the mounting rod 201. The drive column 601 is slidably clamped in the drive frame 603.

[0066] During the process of performing hip exercises to drive the mounting rod 201 to rotate, the driving column 601 cooperates to drive the driving frame 603 to slide horizontally in the shell 104, thereby driving the ring 604 to move to pull the driving rope 302. The hip muscles can be exercised through the resistance encountered by the driving rope 302 during movement, thereby improving the functionality of the device and enabling the device to exercise the legs and hips in an all-round manner.

[0067] Specific usage and beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0068] The device can be placed on a bed for use. During use, the mother lies on the flexible pad 101, binds the leg support 204 to the end of the thigh, and places the soles of the feet on the pedals 206. When exercising the thighs, she can stretch her legs, driving the first sleeve 202 to slide on the mounting rod 201, and at the same time causing the support frame 203 to rotate along the hinge point between it and the first sleeve 202. During the sliding process, the first sleeve 202 pulls the drive rope 302, and the drive rope 302 drives the mounting wheel 306 to slide and rotate along its axis. The second elastic member 305 applies resistance to the sliding of the mounting wheel 306, and the knob 503 can be rotated to drive the push block 404 to slide, and cooperate with the movement of the friction plate 402 to apply resistance to the rotation of the mounting wheel 306, thereby exercising the leg muscles. The hips can be exercised by rotating the thighs, driving the first sleeve 202 to rotate along the axis of the mounting rod 201. During the rotation of the first sleeve 202, the mounting rod 201 is driven to rotate accordingly. During the rotation of the mounting rod 201, the driving column 601 and the driving frame 603 cooperate to drive the collar 604 to move. During the movement of the collar 604, resistance is applied to the movement of the hip muscles through the resistance unit, thereby exercising the hips. This device can fully exercise the leg and hip muscles, reduce discomfort during pregnancy, increase the elasticity of the pelvic cavity and birth canal muscles, reduce labor pains and shorten the delivery process, and reduce birth canal lacerations and bleeding.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications and improvements may be made based on the present invention, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
