Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical rehabilitation assistive devices, and more specifically, to an ankle exerciser. Background Technology

[0002] For patients who are bedridden for extended periods, those who have undergone lower limb surgery and require immobilization, or those in a coma in the ICU or using analgesics and sedatives, prolonged bed rest can slow blood flow, causing platelets to remain and aggregate around blood vessels, increasing the risk of thrombosis. These factors can all affect the recovery of lower limb function after surgery. Early thrombosis may be mobile, but if it breaks off, it can cause embolism in areas such as the lungs or brain.

[0003] There are no existing medical massagers; currently, only pneumatic therapy devices exist. However, these devices wrap around the patient's entire limb and apply pressure, making them unsuitable for patients who have undergone lower limb surgery. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an ankle exerciser that accelerates blood circulation in the limbs by exercising the ankle, thereby preventing thrombosis and its complications.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an ankle exerciser, comprising a base plate, a column disposed opposite to the top of the base plate, a mounting plate disposed on the front of the column near the top, a fixed column disposed on the bottom of the mounting plate away from the column, a fixed gear disposed at the bottom of the fixed column, and a rotating assembly sleeved on the fixed column; a motor disposed on the top of the mounting plate, a rotating shaft disposed at the output end of the motor, the rotating shaft passing through the top and bottom of the mounting plate, and a second gear disposed at the end of the rotating shaft away from the motor; the rotating assembly comprises a rotating sleeve sleeved on the fixed column, a first gear disposed on the side of the rotating sleeve near the top, a support plate disposed on the side of the rotating sleeve near the bottom, the first gear meshing with the second gear; a connecting column disposed at the bottom of the support plate, a fixed mounting plate disposed at the bottom of the connecting column, a telescopic column disposed at the bottom of the fixed mounting plate, a fixed plate disposed at the bottom of the telescopic column, and a fixing strap disposed on the fixed plate.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the ankle exerciser's base plate has a fixedly connected column at its top. A fixedly connected mounting plate is located on the front of the column near the top, and a fixed column is located on the bottom of the mounting plate near the front. A fixed gear (a bevel gear) is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed column. The top of the fixed column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate. A rotating assembly is fitted onto the fixed column, located between the fixed gear and the mounting plate, and rotates around the fixed column. A vertically placed motor is located on the top of the mounting plate, with a rotating shaft at its output end, passing through the top and bottom of the mounting plate. A second gear is located at the end of the rotating shaft furthest from the motor, driving the rotating assembly to rotate. The rotating assembly includes a rotating sleeve, with a fixedly connected first gear on the side of the sleeve near the top. The first gear meshes with the second gear, driving the rotating assembly to rotate around the fixed column. A fixed support plate is located near the bottom of the rotating sleeve, and a connecting post is located at the bottom of the end of the support plate away from the rotating sleeve. A fixed mounting plate is located at the bottom of the connecting post, and a telescopic post is located at the bottom of the mounting plate. A fixed plate is located at the bottom of the telescopic post, and a fixing strap is located on the fixed plate. The telescopic post is mounted on the mounting plate, and the height of the fixed plate can be adjusted by the telescopic post, making this ankle exerciser suitable for patients of all ages. A fixing strap is located on the fixed plate, and the user's foot is fixed to the fixed plate. The fixing strap wraps around the instep to secure the user's foot and prevent it from falling off during exercise and recovery. The user's heel rests on the base plate and remains stationary. The rotating assembly rotates, causing the fixing plate to rotate, thereby rotating the user's toes in a circular motion, thus exercising the ankle.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the bottom of the support plate is provided with two connecting columns, and the bottom of the two connecting columns are connected to the same mounting plate; the mounting plate is L-shaped, and an extension column is provided on the inner surface of one side of the L-shaped mounting plate, and a rotating seat is provided on the outer surface of the adjacent side, and the rotating seat is provided with a rotating gear, which meshes with a fixed gear.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, two fixed connecting columns are provided at the bottom of the support plate, and the bottom of the two connecting columns are connected to the outer side of the same "L"-shaped mounting plate. A telescopic column is provided on the inner side of one side of the L-shaped mounting plate, and the outer side of this side is fixedly connected to the connecting column. A rotating seat is provided on the outer side of the adjacent side, and the rotating seat has a rotating gear that meshes with a fixed gear. When the motor drives the rotating assembly to rotate through gear two, the rotating gear rotates on the fixed gear, and the rotating gear and the fixed gear provide support for the mounting plate.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a fixing belt and a limiting member are disposed opposite to each other on the fixing plate, and the fixing belt is a shrink belt.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, a fixing strap and a limiting component are provided on the fixing plate for mutual use. The fixing strap is a retractable strap, which fixes the user's feet to prevent them from falling off by its retractability.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, a control box is provided on the top of the mounting plate fixedly connected to the opposing columns. The control box is located on the top of the mounting plate of the left or right column. The motor and telescopic column are electrically connected to the control box, which contains a control circuit board. The control box controls the motor speed and the telescopic column's extension length, and controls the exercise frequency by controlling the motor speed. The control box is connected to a control device via wires, which can change the motor's rotation speed and the telescopic column's extension length, thereby changing the height of the fixed plate.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that: two mounting strips are provided on both sides of the base plate, and a connector is provided at the end of the mounting strip away from the base plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, two mounting straps are provided on both sides of the base plate.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that: both the top and bottom of the base plate are provided with soft pads, the soft pads being silicone pads or sponge pads.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the top and bottom of the base plate are equipped with soft pads, which are silicone pads or sponge pads. During use, they increase friction to make the feet less prone to movement and increase the comfort of the feet.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] This ankle exerciser uses a motor to drive gear two, which in turn drives gear one, causing the rotating component to rotate around a fixed column. This rotation of the rotating component, along with the fixed plate, causes the rotating gear to rotate on the fixed gear. Both the fixed and rotating gears support the mounting plate. When the user's heel is placed on the base plate and remains stationary, the rotation of the rotating component, along with the fixed plate, causes the user's toes to rotate in a circular motion, thus exercising the ankle. This ankle exercise accelerates blood circulation in the limbs, preventing thrombosis and its complications. The exerciser is easily installed, disassembled, and used by using mounting belts one and two. Attached Figure Description
