DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
[0024] Embodiment: An adjustable lung exercise device, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a three-ball training device 12, an air pipe 121 and an air nozzle 122. The air pipe 121 is connected to the three-ball training device 12, and the air nozzle 122 is connected to the end of the air pipe 121. It also includes a base frame 1, a telescopic frame 11, a pipe plug 124, a fixed frame 2, a turntable 21, a cover plate 22, a locking rod 23, a storage frame 24, a universal wheel 13, an adjustment component and a pipe frame 123. A pipe plug 124 is provided at the connection between the air pipe 121 and the air nozzle 122. Figure 4The tube plug 124 is designed based on the Tesla valve principle. When the patient exhales, the airflow can pass smoothly, but when inhaling, it will produce significant resistance, forcing the patient to inhale through the nasal cavity. The bottom of the three-ball trainer 12 is installed on the telescopic frame 11, and the telescopic frame 11 is slidably connected to the base frame 1. The universal wheel 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the base frame 1, and a fixed frame 2 is welded on the top of the telescopic frame 11. Figure 5 , a schematic diagram of the fixing frame 2, the turntable 21 and the cover 22 after being separated, it can be seen that there is a raised cylinder in the middle of the fixing frame 2, and a round hole is opened in the middle of the turntable 21. Figure 5 On the left side, a connecting rod is provided on the left side of the fixing frame 2 in the figure, and a connecting sleeve is provided on the left side of the cover plate 22, and then a turntable 21 is rotated in the middle of the fixing frame 2, and a cover plate 22 is rotated on the side of the fixing frame 2, and a locking rod 23 is rotatably connected to the top of the cover plate 22, and the locking rod 23 is slidably connected to the top of the fixing frame 2. It should be added that the outer ring of the turntable 21 is provided with stripes, which can generate greater friction, so that the turntable 21 can be rotated by the stripes. Figure 3 and Figure 6 , respectively, are the front of the cover plate 22 and the front of the fixing frame 2, so the air nozzle 122 can be removed from the opening on the right side of the fixing frame 2. A storage frame 24 is provided on the outside of the cover plate 22, and an adjustment component for adjusting and fixing the height of the telescopic frame 11 is provided on the base frame 1. A pipe rack 123 for placing the air pipe 121 is welded on the top of the telescopic frame 11.
[0025] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment assembly includes a gear 3, a limiting pin 301, a torsion spring 31, a limiting sleeve 32, a ratchet bar frame 33, a bent rack 34, and a triangular block 35. Triangular blocks 35 are welded to the left and right sides of the telescopic frame 11. Several limiting sleeves 32 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the base frame 1. The limiting sleeves 32 on the same side are symmetrically arranged at the upper and lower ends of the base frame 1. The ratchet bar frames 33 slide precisely through the limiting sleeves 32. In a natural state, the two sets of ratchet bar frames 33 maintain contact due to the preload force of the torsion spring 31. The ratchet bar frames 33 are slidably connected to the triangular block 35. Limiting pins 301 are welded to the front and rear sides of the center of the base frame 1. The gear 3 is rotatably connected to the limiting pin 301. The torsion spring 31 is sleeved on the limiting pin 301 and is located between the gear 3 and the base frame 1. A bent rack 34 is welded to the ratchet bar frame 33, and the bent rack 34 meshes with the gear 3.
[0026] The medical staff pushes the base frame 1 to the side of the bed, and then hands the trachea 121 with the air nozzle 122 to the patient. The patient then trains according to the method of using the three-ball trainer 12. After completing the training, the used air nozzle 122 is removed and placed in the storage frame 24. Since the air nozzle 122 is placed in the turntable 21, the turntable 21 forms an axial positioning with the connecting sleeve of the cover plate 22 through the cylindrical protrusion of the fixing frame 2, and cooperates with the locking effect of the locking rod 23 to ensure that the air nozzle 122 is firmly placed in the turntable 21, so that the air nozzle 122 will not fall off. When in use, the trachea 121 and the air nozzle 122 are tightly connected to ensure air tightness, so that when the air nozzle 122 is rotated to the fixed position, the air nozzle 122 is firmly locked. When the trachea 121 is at the opening on the right side of the frame 2, the end of the trachea 121 is grasped, and connected to the air nozzle 122 in the turntable 21 to complete the installation. The end of the trachea 121 is provided with a cylinder tightly connected to the air nozzle 122, which can be directly inserted into the air nozzle 122. Referring to the air nozzle connection when measuring vital capacity, the end of the trachea 121 and the air nozzle 122 are interference fit. The next patient uses it, and because the end of the trachea 121 is sleeved with a pipe plug 124, the design similar to the Tesla valve can make the gas almost unaffected when blowing in the countryside, but when inhaling out, a great resistance will be felt, and it is impossible to inhale, so the patient uses the nose to inhale and ensures that the mouth is only used for exhalation. When avoiding the air nozzle 12 2 while being reused to prevent the gas in the trachea 121 from being cross-inhaled. When all the gas nozzles 122 in the turntable 21 are used up, rotate the locking rod 23, rotate the cover plate 22, remove the turntable 21, replace the unused gas nozzles 122, and then install the turntable 21 on the fixing frame 2, rotate the cover plate 22, and rotate the locking rod 23 to clamp the cover plate 22. For patients with limited mobility, pull up the telescopic frame 11, and the triangular blocks 35 on both sides and the extruded ratchet rack 33 move to both sides and slide in the limit sleeve 32, while driving the bent racks 34 at both ends to slide, and drive the gear 3 to rotate through meshing, stretching the torsion spring 31. When the triangular block 35 passes through the ratchet rack 33, After one triangular tooth, the torsion spring 31 rebounds, driving the gear 3 to rotate, thereby pulling the bent rack 34 and the ratchet rack 33 to move toward the middle, so that the ratchet rack 33 is completely fitted with the triangular block 35. When the telescopic frame 11 continues to be lifted, the meshing process of the triangular block 35 and the ratchet rack 33 is cyclical, realizing multi-level height adjustment. After loosening the telescopic frame 11, since the supporting surface of the ratchet rack 33 for the triangular block 35 is flat, the telescopic frame 11 is fixed at the height after being pulled, thereby completing the height adjustment of the three-ball trainer 12, which is convenient for patient observation. Then, the ratchet rack 33 is manually pulled to the left and right sides to disengage from the triangular block 35, and the telescopic frame 11 falls and resets.
[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a base plate 4, a placement frame 5 and a tensioner 51. The base frame 1 is placed on the base plate 4, and the placement frame 5 is installed on the base plate 4. One end of the tensioner 51 is connected to the base plate 4, and the other end is placed on the placement frame 5.
[0028] like Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a ball base 6, a pressing clamp 61, a guide rod 62 and a return spring 63. The ball base 6 is installed on the base plate 4, and the guide rod 62 is welded on the ball base 6. The pressing clamp 61 is slidably connected to the guide rod 62, and the return spring 63 is sleeved on the guide rod 62. The return spring 63 is located between the ball base 6 and the pressing clamp 61, and the top curved part of the pressing clamp 61 is made of soft rubber.
[0029] Patients are suitable for relatively gentle exercise methods, but for ordinary people, if they want to exercise their lungs, they can use weight-bearing methods, such as removing the tensioner 51 from the placement rack 5, pulling the tensioner 51 with their arms, holding their breath, or using the three-ball trainer 12 at the same time to check whether their breathing is stable, turning the three-ball trainer 12 in the opposite direction, fixing it on the pipe rack 123, adjusting the height of the telescopic rack 11 according to their height, and being able to use kettlebells to apply pressure to the body while controlling breathing to achieve the purpose of exercising the lungs. Moreover, the kettlebell is placed on the ball base 6 and will not roll. When in use, it is necessary to press down the pressing clamp 61 and compress the return spring 63 at the same time to remove the kettlebell.
[0030] like Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, it also includes a pedal 7, a load-bearing spring 71, a transmission rod 72, an elastic member 73 and a limiting rod 74. A plurality of limiting rods 74 are welded in the base plate 4, and the transmission rod 72 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 74. The limiting rod 74 is provided with a plurality of circular holes on the transmission rod 72, and the diameter of the circular holes is slightly larger than the diameter of the limiting rod 74, and a disc larger than the diameter of the circular hole is provided on the top of the limiting rod 74 to limit the separation of the transmission rod 72 from the limiting rod 74. One end of the transmission rod 72 is welded to the bottom of the pressing clamp 61, and the top of the other end is welded with the pedal 7. An elastic member 73 is sleeved on the limiting rod 74, and one end of the elastic member 73 is fixedly connected to the base plate 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting rod 74. A load-bearing spring 71 is provided at the bottom of the pedal 7, and the load-bearing spring 71 is welded in the base plate 4.
[0031] When the exerciser steps on the pedal 7, the pedal 7 descends, compressing the load-bearing spring 71, driving the transmission rod 72 to descend, and connecting to the bottom of the pressing clamp 61, thereby pulling the pressing clamp 61 down, compressing the return spring 63, and releasing the fixation of the kettlebell. The transmission rod 72 squeezes the elastic member 73. After use, the kettlebell is placed on the ball base 6 and leaves the pedal 7. The load-bearing spring 71, the elastic member 73 and the return spring 63 are reset in sequence.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a handle 221 and a protective plate 36 . The handle 221 is welded on the cover plate 22 , and the protective plates 36 are welded on the front and rear sides of the base frame 1 to shield the gear 3 and the bent rack 34 .
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a breath detector 25 and a seat 8. The breath detector 25 is installed at the rear end of the three-ball training device 12 for detecting and analyzing relevant parameters of the patient's exhaled gas, and the seat 8 is set on the bottom plate 4.
[0034] The handle 221 makes it more convenient to open the cover 22, and the protective plate 36 protects the gear 3 and the bent rack 34. In addition, when the patient uses the three-ball trainer 12, part of the exhaled air flow discharged by the three-ball trainer 12 is introduced into the air inlet interface of the breath detector 25 through a dedicated pipeline to detect the patient's exhaled gas, and then display specific data. After exercising, the person exercising can rest on the seat 8, making the lung exercise process more comfortable.
