Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and specifically to a training device that helps Parkinson's patients with rehabilitation. Background Technology
[0002] Parkinson's disease is a common neurodegenerative disease. Its main pathological change is the degeneration and death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra of the midbrain, which leads to a significant reduction in striatal dopamine content. Its clinical manifestations mainly include resting tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural and gait disturbances. Patients may also have nonmotor symptoms such as depression, constipation, and sleep disorders.
[0003] However, existing Parkinson's disease rehabilitation devices have limited functionality, cannot effectively train the upper and lower body functions, are cumbersome to operate, and lack flexibility. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a training device that can help Parkinson's patients with their rehabilitation. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art by providing a simple, rationally designed, and easy-to-use training device that helps Parkinson's patients with rehabilitation, thereby solving the technical problems in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: it includes a bed board and support legs, and support legs are fixedly provided at the four corners of the bottom of the bed board;
[0006] It also includes:
[0007] A fixing frame is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the bed board; a rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the middle of the fixing frame via a bearing.
[0008] A rotating plate is located in the middle of the fixed frame and is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft; several ring buckles are symmetrically arranged on the top surface of the rotating plate and on the left and right side walls of the fixed frame.
[0009] The tension springs are of several types, and the two ends of the tension springs are respectively movably hooked to corresponding rings;
[0010] Two connecting straps are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the bottom left side of the rotating plate, respectively; a hand training mechanism is connected to the lower side of the fixed straps.
[0011] The leg training mechanism is located in two through slots on the right side of the bed board and on the right side of the bottom of the rotating plate.
[0012] A foot bath device is located on the right side of the bottom of the bed board;
[0013] A safety limit mechanism is provided, which is located on the right side of the fixed frame and connected to the leg training mechanism.
[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the hand training mechanism includes:
[0015] A pull ring, wherein the pull ring is fixedly disposed at the lower end of the connecting belt;
[0016] The sleeves are of several kinds and are evenly spaced and fixedly inserted on the lower side of the pull ring;
[0017] The insert rods are of several kinds, and the lower ends of the insert rods are respectively movably inserted into the interior of several sleeves; a compression spring is fixedly installed between the insert rod and the sleeve; one end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the insert rod, and the other end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the sleeve.
[0018] Acupressure plates, wherein there are several acupressure plates, and each is fixedly installed on the upper end of several insert rods.
[0019] With the above technical solution, when patients perform hand training, they hold the pull ring and place several fingers on several acupressure plates. They press down on the acupressure plates with their fingertips, thereby using the reverse compression force of the compressed springs to perform resistance training on the patient's fingers.
[0020] As a further improvement of the present invention, guide grooves are symmetrically provided on the inner sidewall of the sleeve, and guide blocks are symmetrically fixed on the two side walls of the lower end of the insertion rod, and the guide blocks are respectively slidably disposed in the guide grooves.
[0021] The above technical solution design limits and guides the up-and-down movement of the insertion rod by the cooperation and sliding of the guide groove and guide block.
[0022] As a further improvement of the present invention, the leg training mechanism includes:
[0023] The movable plate consists of two plates, each disposed in one of two through slots on the right side of the bed board; the movable plates are movably disposed in sliding grooves on the inner sidewalls of the through slots via flanges on both sides.

[0063] Example 2:
[0064] See as Figure 1-6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, the hand training mechanism 9 includes:
[0065] Pull ring 9-1, wherein the pull ring 9-1 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the connecting strip 8 by bolts;
[0066] Sleeve 9-2, there are several sleeves 9-2, and all of them are fixedly inserted into the lower side of pull ring 9-1 by bolts at equal intervals;
[0067] The device includes several insertion rods 9-3, each with its lower end movably inserted into one of several sleeves 9-2. A compression spring 9-4 is bolted between each insertion rod 9-3 and each sleeve 9-2. One end of the compression spring 9-4 is bolted to the bottom of the insertion rod 9-3, and the other end is bolted to the inner bottom surface of each sleeve 9-2. Symmetrical guide grooves 10 are formed on the inner sidewall of each sleeve 9-2, and symmetrical guide blocks 11 are integrally formed on the two sidewalls at the lower end of each insertion rod 9-3, with the guide blocks 11 slidably positioned within the guide grooves 10.

By adjusting the number of tension springs 7 connected on the rotating plate 5, the patient can push against the adjusting plate 12-4 with their feet, causing the adjusting plate 12-4 to drive the movable plate 12-1 to move left and right within the through groove 12-2. The reverse tension force of the tension springs 7 returns the movable plate 12-1 to its original position, allowing the patient to perform repeated leg exercises.
[0077] Example 4:
[0078] See as Figure 1-6 As shown, based on Embodiment 3, the safety limiting mechanism 13 includes:
[0079] The liquid storage tank 13-1 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the fixing frame 3 by bolts, and the transmission rope 12-7 is movably threaded through the inside of the liquid storage tank 13-1 through the sealing block.

[0081] Shear thickening fluid 13-3 is disposed inside the storage tank 13-1.
[0082] Through the above technical solution design, when the patient is performing leg training, in order to prevent the reverse tension of the tension spring 7 from being too large and causing the moving plate 12-1 to return to its original position too quickly, the movement speed of the buffer plate 13-2 is controlled due to the non-Newtonian fluid characteristics of the shear thickening liquid 13-3, effectively preventing the moving plate 12-1 from returning to its original position quickly.
[0083] Example 4:
[0084] See as Figure 1-6As shown, based on Embodiment 3, the foot bath mechanism 14 includes:
[0085] The decoction box 14-1 is located on the bottom surface of the bed board 1 below the through groove 12-2. The upper side of the decoction box 14-1 has an open structure. A drain pipe 14-2 is fixedly welded to the right side wall of the decoction box 14-1. An observation window 15 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the decoction box 14-1 by bolts. The amount of liquid medicine in the decoction box 14-1 can be observed in real time through the observation window 15.
[0086] The electric heating tube 14-3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the decoction box 14-1 by bolts, and the electric heating tube 14-3 is connected to an external power source.
[0087] Through the above technical solution design, Chinese medicinal herbs to assist the recovery of Parkinson's patients are added to the inside of the decoction box 14-1, then water is added, and the electric heating tube 14-3 is turned on to decoct the Chinese medicine. After the decoction is completed, the moving plate 12-1 is moved to the right, and the patient's feet pass through the through groove 12-2 and extend into the inside of the decoction box 14-1 for foot bath operation.
[0088] When using this invention, the Parkinson's patient first lies on the bed board 1. The training intensity is adjusted by changing the number of connections of the tension springs 7. The patient grasps the pull ring 9-1 and performs arm training through the reverse tension force of the tension springs 7. When performing hand training, the patient grasps the pull ring 9-1 and places several fingers on several acupressure plates 9-5, pressing down on the acupressure plates 9-5 with the fingertips. This, in turn, provides resistance training to the patient's fingers through the reverse compression force of the compression springs 9-4. The patient lies on the bed board 1 with their feet placed on the movable plate 12-1 and their toes resting on the adjusting plate 12-4. The number of connections of the tension springs 7 on the rotating plate 5 is adjusted, and the patient then uses their feet to press against the adjusting plate. The adjusting plate 12-4 causes the moving plate 12-1 to move left and right within the through groove 12-2. The reverse tension of the tension spring 7 returns the moving plate 12-1 to its original position, at which point the patient can perform repeated leg exercises. When the patient's feet are cold and require a medicinal bath, the self-locking safety buckle 12-6 disengages from the fixing ring 12-5, moving the moving plate 12-1 to the right, exposing the upper side of the decoction box 14-1. Then, Chinese medicinal herbs to aid in the recovery of Parkinson's patients are added to the inside of the decoction box 14-1, followed by water. The electric heating tube 14-3 is then turned on to decoct the Chinese medicine. Once the decoction is complete, the patient's feet pass through the through groove 12-2 and extend into the inside of the decoction box 14-1 for a foot bath.
[0089] The beneficial effects of this specific embodiment after adopting the above structure are as follows:
[0090] 1. The number of connections of the tension spring 7 can be adjusted according to the training intensity. After the adjustment is completed, the leg training mechanism 12 controls whether it is connected to the rotating plate 5 through the self-locking safety buckle 12-6, which makes it convenient to conduct whole or separate training on the patient's legs and arms, making it more flexible to use.
[0091] 2. The foot bath device 14 provides medicated bath therapy to the patient's feet. It is easy to operate, requires no equipment replacement, and saves costs.
[0092] 3. The left and right movement of the moving plate 12-1 is controlled by the safety limit mechanism 13 to prevent the tension spring 7 from being too strong and causing injury to the patient's legs.
[0093] The above description is only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and is not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of the present invention, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
