Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of human skeleton rehabilitation training devices, and in particular to a rehabilitation training mechanism for ankle joint flexion and extension. Background Art
[0002] There are a large number of people with lower limb injuries in my country, and the number is still increasing every year. At present, there are limb joint rehabilitation training machines in my country, but there is a serious imbalance between supply and demand, and most of the existing limb joint rehabilitation training machines are expensive, bulky, and the wearer needs to be accompanied by a normal person throughout the whole process.
[0003] Patients with fractures of the thigh or calf in the lower limbs are required to undergo rehabilitation training of various joints during rehabilitation training to ensure that basic functions do not degenerate. Due to the long distance of the ankle joint and the pain in the leg itself, it is inconvenient for the patient to use external force to perform rehabilitation training on the ankle joint. This results in the limitation of the dorsiflexion and plantar flexion angles of the ankle joint during the rehabilitation process, and may even cause joint sclerosis. In severe cases, secondary surgery such as release is required. After the patient's lower limb is injured, due to poor blood circulation, venous thrombosis is very likely to occur in the affected limb. Summary of the invention

The gear is coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor. The two racks are arranged on both sides of the gear and are respectively meshed with the gears. The two racks are parallel to each other and are respectively slidably installed on the electric telescopic seat. The two racks are respectively provided with connecting pieces at different ends along the length direction. The connecting pieces of the two racks are respectively detachably rotatably connected to the ankle strap and the ankle strap. The motor drives the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the two racks to move linearly in the opposite direction, thereby realizing the adjustment of the angle between the ankle fixation plate and the ankle fixation plate.
[0008] As a preferred solution for the above-mentioned ankle flexion and extension rehabilitation training mechanism, the electric telescopic seat includes a telescopic base plate that extends obliquely, and two left-right symmetrical pressure plates are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the telescopic base plate. Two sliding grooves are formed between the two pressure plates and the bottom surface of the telescopic base plate respectively, and the two racks are respectively placed in the two sliding grooves, and the linear movement direction of the two racks is guided by the two sliding grooves.
[0009] As a preferred solution for the above-mentioned ankle flexion and extension rehabilitation training mechanism, a limiting groove is opened on each of the racks, and the limiting groove is a waist-shaped groove extending along the length direction of the rack. A limiting bolt is fixedly connected to each pressure plate, and the limiting bolts of the two pressure plates respectively correspond to the limiting grooves of the two racks, and the rod of the limiting bolt can slide back and forth along the length direction of the corresponding limiting groove.
[0010] As a preferred solution of the above-mentioned ankle flexion and extension rehabilitation training mechanism, the two connecting members of the racks are respectively hinged to the lower ankle strap and the upper ankle strap through a second hinge shaft.

At the same time, the rehabilitation training mechanism is simple in structure, light in weight, easy to process, low in cost, and convenient and quick to use. After setting the parameters, the patient can exercise by himself without the need for other people to accompany him throughout the whole process. In addition, its electric telescopic device adopts a transmission form of gears and two racks. The motor drives the gears to rotate to realize the linear motion of the two racks in opposite directions. Compared with the unidirectional motion transmission form, this bidirectional motion transmission form has more advantages. Its small stroke can achieve large displacement output, and the bidirectional output enables the patient's feet and lower end of the calf to move at the same time, which improves the stability of the output and the effectiveness of the patient's rehabilitation training.
