[0021] The specific embodiments of the present invention are further described below:

[0022] This embodiment provides an ankle rehabilitation massage device, which is used to massage the ankle area of ​​a patient to prevent muscle atrophy.

[0023] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The rehabilitation massage device of this embodiment mainly includes a leg support part 1 and a foot rest part 7.

[0024] The leg support portion 1 is in the shape of a semi-conical cylinder and is used to support the calf of a human body. For the sake of convenience, this configuration of the leg support portion 1 is defined as a "calf-supporting configuration."

[0025] The footrest 7 is primarily composed of a base plate 71 and two side plates 72. The base plate 71 is shaped to match the contours of a human foot. The two side plates 72 are erected on either side of the base plate 71 and fixedly connected to the base plate 71, forming a trough-like structure that accommodates the foot. For ease of description, this configuration is referred to as a "foot-accommodating configuration."

[0026] For the sake of convenience, the end of the foot-resting portion 7 corresponding to the toe of the human body is defined as "toe tip", and the end of the foot-resting portion 7 corresponding to the heel of the human body is defined as "heel end".

[0027] The leg support portion 1 and the heel end of the foot support portion 7 are assembled and connected together through four electric telescopic cylinders 8.

[0028] Specifically, the four electric telescopic cylinders 8 are divided into two groups, each with two electric telescopic cylinders 8. These two groups of electric telescopic cylinders 8 are assembled and installed based on the two side panels 72 of the footrest 7. The assembly connection is as follows: one end of the electric telescopic cylinder 8 is assembled and connected to the side panels 72 via a universal joint; the two side panels 72 of the footrest 7 are respectively assembled and connected to the two side edges of the legrest 1 through the two groups of electric telescopic cylinders 8, and the electric telescopic cylinders 8 and the legrest 1 are assembled and connected via a universal joint. This assembly structure enables "the coordinated telescopic movement of the four electric telescopic cylinders 8, allowing torsional movement between the legrest 1 and the footrest 7 with three degrees of freedom (rotational degrees of freedom about the x, y, and z axes in three-dimensional space)."

[0029] A main control module ( Figure 2 The main control module is actually a microcomputer controller (usually a single chip microcomputer) that can run some control programs.

[0030] The main control module is provided with a control program for implementing multiple working modes. When the main control module receives a working mode specified by an external control signal through the wireless communication module 3, the main control module activates the corresponding control program according to the specified working mode to control the coordinated action of the four electric telescopic cylinders 8 to achieve the "twisting action between the leg support part 1 and the footrest part 7" corresponding to the specified working mode.

[0031] The electric telescopic cylinders 8 receive power from the energy storage battery 4 and the solar panel 6, and are controlled by a main control module. The main control module is provided with a control program for the electric telescopic cylinders 8. Under the program control of the main control module, the two groups of four electric telescopic cylinders 8 can coordinate their movements, so that various programmed twisting movements (i.e., ankle rotation movements) can be performed between the leg support portion 1 and the footrest portion 7.

[0032] A wireless communication module 3 , an energy storage battery 4 , a voltage stabilizing rectifier 5 , and a solar panel 6 are arranged on the bottom surface of the foot portion 7 .

[0033] The wireless communication module 3 is used to receive control signals from an external remote controller or a mobile phone APP via wireless communication to control the operation of the rehabilitation massage device.

[0034] It should be noted that the wireless communication module 3 is communicatively connected to the main control module, and signals are transmitted between the two. The external control signal received by the wireless communication module 3 is transmitted to the main control module, and the main control module controls the operation of the rehabilitation massage device according to the set control program based on the received external control signal, mainly controlling the four electric telescopic cylinders 8 to coordinate the telescopic action, so that the leg support part 1 and the foot rest part 7 perform relative twisting action.

[0035] The energy storage battery 4 is used to provide power supply for the operation of the entire rehabilitation massage device. The energy storage battery 4 adopts a lithium battery and is equipped with a charging circuit so that the energy storage battery 4 can be charged and stored.

[0036] The solar panel 6 is used to provide solar power for charging the energy storage battery 4. When the energy storage battery 4 is fully charged, the power supplied by the solar panel 6 can directly drive the entire rehabilitation massage device to operate.

[0037] The voltage stabilizing rectifier 5 is used to "convert the current output by the solar panel 6 into direct current through the voltage stabilizing rectifier 5 and then transmit it to the energy storage battery 4 for charging."

[0038] The specific usage and operating principle of the rehabilitation massage device of this embodiment are as follows:

[0039] When using the rehabilitation massage device, the human foot is placed in the foot rest portion 7 and the human calf is placed against the leg support portion 1. A control command signal is sent to the wireless communication module 3 in the rehabilitation massage device through a remote control or a mobile phone APP. The wireless communication module 3 transmits the received command signal to the main control module. The main control module starts the corresponding control program according to the working mode specified by the command signal to control the coordinated action of the four electric telescopic cylinders 8 to achieve the "twisting action between the leg support portion 1 and the foot rest portion 7" corresponding to the specified working mode.

[0040] When the rehabilitation massage device is not in use, it is placed in a place where sunlight is irradiated, so that the solar panel 6 on the rehabilitation massage device is exposed to sunlight, thereby charging the energy storage battery 4.

[0041] It should be noted that the four electric telescopic cylinders 8 mentioned above actually constitute a torsional drive mechanism, or more precisely, an electric torsional drive mechanism. The leg support part 1 and the footrest part 7 are assembled together through the electric torsional drive mechanism. By controlling the operation of the electric torsional drive mechanism, the torsional action between the leg support part 1 and the footrest part 7 can be achieved.

[0042] In addition, in order to prevent the accidental situation of "the four electric telescopic cylinders 8 being damaged by impact from foreign objects", a protective cover 2 is respectively provided for the two groups of electric telescopic cylinders 8. The protective cover 2 is fixedly assembled based on the side plate 72 of the footrest 7, and the protective cover 2 covers the main body of the electric telescopic cylinder 8.

[0043] The main advantages of the rehabilitation massage device of this embodiment are:

[0044] 1) In this embodiment, the rehabilitation massage device is equipped with an energy storage battery 4, and a solar panel 6 is used to charge the energy storage battery 4. In this way, the rehabilitation massage device of this embodiment can be used in any scenario without relying on an external plug-in power source. When not in use, the solar panel 6 only needs to be used to charge the energy storage battery 4 to ensure that the energy storage battery 4 has sufficient power.

[0045] In addition, the rehabilitation massage device of this embodiment has other advantages, as follows:

[0046] 2) Compared with traditional ankle massage devices, the rehabilitation massage device of this embodiment has multiple degrees of freedom in space and can imitate the movement of the ankle to fully massage and relax the patient's ankle.

[0047] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
