Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of health care and rehabilitation, and more specifically to an auxiliary device for pelvic floor muscle training. Background Technology

[0002] Most common pelvic floor muscle training aids focus on direct monitoring or feedback of the pelvic floor area, such as using built-in sensors to detect muscle contraction strength and provide prompts. However, these devices often neglect the overall coordination of human movement, making the training process relatively isolated and difficult to integrate into daily physical activities. In fact, the function of the pelvic floor muscles is closely related to core stability and upper and lower limb coordination, but current technology lacks auxiliary means that can actively guide users to indirectly activate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles through coordinated upper and lower limb movements. Therefore, there is a need for a device that can combine pelvic floor muscle training with natural limb movements, promoting coordinated upper and lower limb movements to simultaneously achieve targeted pelvic floor muscle training during activities, thereby improving the fun, compliance, and overall effectiveness of training.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown below, the structure and function of a pelvic floor muscle training aid device will be described in detail.

[0029] A pelvic floor muscle training aid device includes a device support 1, a sliding rail 2 fixedly connected to the device support 1, two moving mechanisms 3 slidably connected to the sliding rail 2, and a training mechanism 4 and an upper limb mechanism 5 fixedly connected to the device support 1.

[0030] When using, such as Figure 1 As shown, a person kneels on the pelvic floor muscle training aid, with their two legs placed on two moving mechanisms 3 respectively, their thighs held in place by the training mechanism 4, and their upper limbs resting on the upper limb mechanism 5. The two legs repeatedly open and close, using the training mechanism 4 to train the pelvic floor muscles. At the same time, the upper limb mechanism 5 swings in coordination with the movement of the training mechanism 4. That is, when the two legs open, the training mechanism 4 moves downward, and then the upper limb mechanism 5 swings to a vertical position, thus making the upper limbs vertical as well, opening the pelvic floor muscles. When the two legs close, the training mechanism 4 moves upward, and then the upper limb mechanism 5 swings to a tilted position, thus making the upper limbs tilt as well, closing the pelvic floor muscles. In this way, with the coordinated movement of the upper and lower limbs, the pelvic floor muscles repeatedly open and close, thereby performing rehabilitation training for the pelvic floor muscles.

[0031] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown below, the structure and function of the moving mechanism 3 will be described in detail.

[0032] The moving mechanism 3 includes a moving slider 31, which is slidably connected to the sliding rail 2, and a supporting arc plate 32 is fixedly connected to the moving slider 31.

[0033] The support arc plate 32 is made of flexible material, and the upper end of the support arc plate 32 is set with a round arc, which makes it convenient to place the legs on the support arc plate 32. When the person's legs close and open, they will push the movable slider 31 to slide on the sliding track 2.

[0034] Furthermore, when it is necessary to adjust the frictional force during the movement of the support arc plate 32;

[0035] The bottom of the supporting arc plate 32 is fixedly connected to a telescopic mechanism I 33, and a friction block 34 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism I 33. The friction block 34 is in contact with the sliding track 2.

[0036] Start the telescopic mechanism I33. The telescopic mechanism I33 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism I33 drives the friction block 34 to move, so that the friction block 34 contacts the sliding track 2. Adjust the friction between the friction block 34 and the sliding track 2, thereby controlling the friction during the movement of the support arc plate 32 to meet different training needs.

[0037] Furthermore, to facilitate counting the number of training sessions;

[0038] One side of the device bracket 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 11, and the other side of the device bracket 1 is fixedly connected to two movable brackets 12. A lead screw 13 is rotatably connected to the movable bracket 12, and a sensor seat 14 is slidably connected to the movable bracket 12. The sensor seat 14 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 13, and a sensor 15 is fixedly connected to the sensor seat 14.

[0039] The movable slider 31 can contact the sensor 15;

[0040] Sensor 15 can be a contact sensor or a pressure sensor. When the movable slider 31 contacts the sensor 15, the sensor 15 is squeezed and counts. At the same time, the position of the sensor 15 can be adjusted according to different usage requirements. Rotating the lead screw 13 drives the sensor seat 14 to move through the thread. The sensor seat 14 drives the sensor 15 to move, so that the sensor seat 14 slides on the movable bracket 12, thereby adjusting the position of the sensor 15, adjusting the contact position between the sensor 15 and the movable slider 31, and adjusting the counting position.

[0041] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown,

[0042] The training mechanism 4 includes a telescopic mechanism II 41, which is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 11. A lifting bracket 42 is slidably connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism II 41, and a spring is fixedly connected between the lifting bracket 42 and the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism II 41.

[0043] A support column 43 is fixedly connected to the lifting bracket 42. Two rotating sleeves 44 are rotatably connected to the support column 43. A training plate 45 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 44. A training arc plate 46 is fixedly connected to the training plate 45. A torsion spring I is fixedly connected between the rotating sleeve 44 and the support column 43.

[0044] When a person kneels on the pelvic floor muscle training aid, their two legs are placed on two support arc plates 32 respectively, and the inside of their two thighs are clamped on the training arc plate 46. The training arc plate 46 is preferably made of flexible material. When the two thighs close inward, they will squeeze the two training arc plates 46 to move, causing the training arc plate 46 to compress the torsion spring I and generate a certain reaction force, thereby achieving the training of the inside of the two thighs.

[0045] Furthermore, the telescopic mechanism II 41 can be activated. The telescopic mechanism II 41 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism II 41 drives the support column 43 to move, and the support column 43 drives the two training arc plates 46 to move, thereby adjusting the height of the two training arc plates 46 to meet different training needs.

[0046] Furthermore, the structure and function of the upper limb mechanism 5 will be described in detail below;

[0047] The upper limb mechanism 5 includes a telescopic mechanism III 51, which is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 11. A swing motor 52 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism III 51. A swing bracket 53 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the swing motor 52. A support column 54 is fixedly connected to the swing bracket 53. A handle 55 is fixedly connected to the support column 54. A telescopic mechanism IV 56 is fixedly connected to the support column 54. An upper limb support plate 57 is rotatably connected to the telescopic mechanism IV 56. A torsion spring II is fixedly connected between the upper limb support plate 57 and the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism IV 56.

[0048] The bottom of the upper limb support plate 57 is fixedly connected to a swing plate 59, and a sliding groove 510 is provided on the swing plate 59. The bottom of the lifting bracket 42 is fixedly connected to a pulling column 47, and the pulling column 47 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 510.

[0049] When in use, the telescopic mechanism Ⅲ51 can be activated. The telescopic mechanism Ⅲ51 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism Ⅲ51 drives the swing motor 52, swing bracket 53, support column 54, handle 55, telescopic mechanism Ⅳ56 and upper limb support plate 57 to move laterally, thereby adjusting the lateral position of the upper limb support plate 57.

[0050] Start the swing motor 52, preferably a servo motor. The output shaft of the swing motor 52 drives the bracket 53, support column 54, handle 55, telescopic mechanism IV 56 and upper limb support plate 57 to swing, thereby adjusting the tilt of the upper limb support plate 57.

[0051] Start the telescopic mechanism Ⅳ56. The telescopic mechanism Ⅳ56 can be a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. The telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism Ⅳ56 drives the upper limb support plate 57 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the upper limb support plate 57.

[0052] In use, the person's two legs are placed on the two support arc plates 32 respectively, with the inside of the two thighs clamped on the training arc plate 46. The person's upper body lies on the upper limb support plate 57. A flexible material can be provided at the contact point between the upper limb support plate 57 and the person's upper body. Therefore, when the person's two legs move away from each other, the two support arc plates 32 move away from each other, the inside of the two thighs separate, the two training arc plates 46 open, and the lifting bracket 42 is compressed downwards. Simultaneously, the lifting bracket 42 pushes the pulling column 47 downwards. The pulling column 47 slides within the sliding groove 510, causing the upper limb support plate 57 to move into a vertical position. The limb support plate 57 supports the upper limb, making the upper limb vertical and opening the pelvic floor muscles. When the two legs are closed, the two support arc plates 32 move closer to each other, the inside of the two thighs move closer, the two training arc plates 46 move closer, and the lifting bracket 42 moves upward. Under the action of the spring, the lifting bracket 42 pushes the pulling column 47 to move upward. The pulling column 47 slides in the sliding groove 510, causing the upper limb support plate 57 to move into an inclined state, making the upper limb tilted and closing the pelvic floor muscles. In this way, with the coordinated movement of the upper and lower limbs, the pelvic floor muscles open and close repeatedly, thereby performing rehabilitation training for the pelvic floor muscles.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to facilitate viewing the number of training sessions and controlling the friction of the movement;

[0054] The swing plate 59 is equipped with a control panel 58, the sensor 15 is connected to the control panel 58, and the telescopic mechanism I 33 is connected to the control panel 58.

[0055] The control screen 58 and the telescopic mechanism I 33 are connected by an electronic control method commonly used in the art. The control screen 58 controls the extension length of the telescopic end of the telescopic mechanism I 33 and adjusts the friction force of the support arc plate 32. The sensor 15 and the control screen 58 are connected by an electronic control method commonly used in the art. The control screen 58 is used to record the number of times the sensor 15 is squeezed, and thus record the number of training sessions.
