[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] The embodiment of the present invention discloses a training device for home cardiac rehabilitation.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-6 A training device for home cardiac rehabilitation includes a foldable bathtub, in which a training component 7 is detachably fixedly installed. After the foldable bathtub is unfolded and warm water is poured in, the patient can perform water resistance training rehabilitation through the training component 7;

[0033] The folding bathtub comprises a base plate 3, the upper part of which is connected to a stretchable shell 1 through a folding part 2, the inner diameter of the stretchable shell 1 is larger than the base plate 3, and the stretchable shell 1 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the base plate 3;

[0034] The training component 7 includes a mounting plate 73, which is detachably mounted on the surface of the base plate 3. A training shell 71 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting plate 73. A rotating shaft rod 72 is rotatably mounted inside the training shell 71. Both ends of the rotating shaft rod 72 rotate and penetrate the training shell 71 respectively, and both ends are movably connected to the foot pedal 75 through a support rod 74. A seat cushion 76 is provided on the top of the training shell 71 with an adjustable height.

[0035] Reference Figure 3 An upper guard plate 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the stretch shell 1, grooves are opened on both sides of the upper guard plate 4, a guardrail 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the upper guard plate 4, and a handle 6 is arranged on the upper side of the groove of the upper guard plate 4; when in use, the foldable bathtub can be unfolded and folded by the handle 6.

[0036] Reference Figure 5 An automatic adjustment component is arranged on the outside of the foldable bathtub, which can drive the foldable bathtub to be unfolded and folded. It is worth noting that the present invention takes into account that the foldable bathtub can be unfolded and folded by the handle 6, but there is instability of the folding part 2, and the patient makes water resistance movement in the foldable bathtub, and the water ripples shake more seriously. Therefore, an automatic adjustment component is further designed, through which the foldable bathtub can be automatically folded and unfolded.

[0037] Reference Figure 5 The automatic adjustment component includes a U-shaped adjustment frame 8, which is sleeved on the outside of the folding bathtub, and the bottom upper surface of the U-shaped adjustment frame 8 is fixedly connected to the base plate 3 of the folding bathtub. The inner walls of both ends of the U-shaped adjustment frame 8 are provided with sliding grooves 9, and sliding blocks 10 are spliced ​​and slidably provided in the sliding grooves 9, and a guide plate 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the sliding block 10. The guide plate 11 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the guardrail 5 on the corresponding side. A threaded hole is provided in the guide plate 11, and a threaded rod 12 is connected to the threaded hole. The top end of the threaded rod 12 is rotatably connected to the U-shaped adjustment frame 8, and the bottom end of the threaded rod 12 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 13, and the motor 13 is fixedly installed on the surface of the U-shaped adjustment frame 8; when in use, by starting the motor 13, the motor 13 drives the threaded rod 12 to rotate. During the rotation of the threaded rod 12, the guide plate 11 can move up and down according to the direction of rotation of the threaded rod 12. In this process, the guide plate 11 drives the guardrail 5 to move up and down, thereby completing the unfolding and folding of the folding bathtub.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6A through hole is provided inside the guardrail 5, and the two handles 6 are connected by an elastic rope 14. The elastic rope 14 slides in the through hole of the guardrail 5, and the outer diameter of the handle 6 is larger than the inner diameter of the through hole. The present invention can unfold the folding bathtub through an automatic adjustment component. Considering the stability of the folding bathtub unfolded by the automatic adjustment component and the inability of this training device to exercise arm strength, the handle 6 is set to be movable. The handle 6 cooperates with the elastic rope 14 to enable the patient to exercise his arm strength after completing the training.

[0039] Reference Figure 4 The outer side of the training shell 71 is fixed with a certain inclination angle and is provided with an arc-shaped support plate 77 for the trainee to use in different lying postures.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 The inclination angle of the arc-shaped support plate 77 to the horizontal plane is 45°-60°, and a silicone pad is installed on the outer side of the arc-shaped support plate 77; it is worth noting that the present invention uses a traditional armrest to stabilize the patient's riding, and it is found that the height of the traditional armrest is difficult to adjust, and the armrest can only provide one training state, and the practicality is low. Therefore, the present invention designs the arc-shaped support plate 77 to face the patient at an inclination angle of 45° to 60° so that the patient can adapt to the various training posture requirements; the patient can not only sit upright and perform traditional sitting cycling exercises by holding the upper part of the arc-shaped support plate 77; but also choose to lie down and rely on the middle part of the arc-shaped support plate 77 for more comfortable cycling training. This design is particularly suitable for patients who need specific body position recovery or enhancement; in addition, the arc-shaped support plate 77 can also be used with a height-adjustable seat cushion to ensure that users of different body shapes and needs can find the riding height that suits them best, thereby achieving efficient training and rehabilitation.

[0041] Reference Figure 4 An adjusting cylinder 15 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the training shell 71, and an inserting rod 16 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the base, and the inserting rod 16 is inserted into the adjusting cylinder 15 through a threaded movement; the inserting rod 16 is driven to rotate in the adjusting cylinder 15 by rotating the seat cushion 76 to reach the height of the adjusting seat cushion 76.

[0042] In the present invention, when in use, the patient can perform aerobic training through the training component 7 during normal training, and the folded foldable bathtub can greatly reduce the occupied space of the training device; when the patient needs resistance training, the foldable bathtub is unfolded through the automatic adjustment component, and then water of suitable temperature is poured into the foldable bathtub. The patient steps into the foldable bathtub, holds the arc-shaped support plate 77 with his hands, and steps on the foot pedal 75 with his feet to perform water resistance training rehabilitation in the water; it is worth mentioning that in order to achieve the purpose of fixing the leg that steps on the foot pedal 75, a waterproof elastic belt can be used to fix it;

[0043] During the training process, the curved support plate 77 faces the patient at an angle of 45° to 60°, so that the patient can adapt to various training posture requirements; the patient can not only sit upright and perform traditional sitting cycling exercises by holding the upper part of the curved support plate 77; but also change the training posture after a period of training, and choose to perform cycling training in a prone posture by relying on the middle part of the curved support plate 77, thereby reducing the discomfort of fixed posture training;

[0044] Before training, the patient can also adjust the fixed state by holding the position of the arc-shaped support plate 77 according to requirements and perform fixed state training, which is helpful for training specific parts during fixed state training;

[0045] After the training is completed, the patient can adjust his sitting posture, sit horizontally on the cushion, hold the handles 6 on both sides with both hands, apply force to the inside of the body with both hands, and pull the handles 6 connected by elastic ropes 14 on both sides, so as to exercise and enhance arm strength; it is worth mentioning that the elastic rope 14 passes through the perforation in the guardrail 5, and with the help of the design that the inner diameter of the perforation is smaller than the outer diameter of the handle 6, it is ensured that the handle 6 can automatically return to the top of the groove of the upper guard plate 4 when it is not actively pulled, which not only realizes the convenience of automatic recovery, but also ensures the safety of the training process.

[0046] The above description is only by way of illustration of certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
