[0032] This invention provides a foldable and retractable physiotherapy device, comprising a hollow column 1, a fixed base 2, a sliding base 3, multiple telescopic legs 4, multiple connecting rods 5, a drive mechanism 6, a sliding rod 7, a locking mechanism 8, a rotating joint mechanism 9, a support arm 10, and an infrared lamp head 11; the telescopic legs 4 include a mounting cylinder 401, a support rod 402, a first locking block 403, and a first spring 404; the mounting cylinder 401 has a locking hole 40101 on its side; the support rod 402 has a first mounting cavity 40201 inside; the telescopic legs 4 also include a support foot 405; the telescopic legs 4 also include a magnet 406 and an iron block 407; the drive mechanism 6 includes a first knob 601, a mounting ring 602, and a second spring 603; the hollow column 1 has an external thread 101 on its outer wall; the locking mechanism 8 includes an annular seat 801, a second knob 802, two engaging blocks 803, and two third springs 804. The device includes two pull ropes 805; multiple meshing grooves 701 are equidistantly arranged on both sides of the slide rod 7 from top to bottom; two second mounting cavities 80101 are symmetrically arranged inside the annular seat 801; the rotating joint mechanism 9 includes a mounting base 901, a rotating shaft 902, a rotating wheel 903, a second locking block 904, and a fourth spring 905; multiple spherical grooves 90301 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating wheel 903; a third mounting cavity 90101 is provided inside the mounting base 901; the rotating joint mechanism 9 also includes a stop block 906, a fifth spring 907, a connecting rod 908, and a button 909; a fourth mounting cavity 90102 is also provided inside the mounting base 901; the foldable and retractable physiotherapy device also includes a guide ridge 12; the inner wall of the hollow column 1 is provided with an axial guide groove 102 that slides with the guide ridge 12; the aforementioned scheme facilitates folding and storage, improving portability.
[0033] Furthermore, the fixed base 2 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the hollow column 1; the sliding base 3 is slidably disposed on the hollow column 1; the top ends of the plurality of telescopic support legs 4 are respectively rotatably connected to the sliding base 3, and the plurality of telescopic support legs 4 are respectively located on the side of the hollow column 1; the top ends of the plurality of connecting rods 5 are respectively rotatably connected to the plurality of telescopic support legs 4, and the bottom ends of the plurality of connecting rods 5 are respectively rotatably connected to the fixed base 2, and the plurality of connecting rods 5 are respectively located on the side of the hollow column 1; the driving mechanism 6 is disposed on the hollow column 1 and is used to drive the sliding base 3 to rise and fall; The slide rod 7 is slidably disposed inside the hollow column 1; the locking mechanism 8 is disposed on the hollow column 1 for locking the slide rod 7; the rotating joint mechanism 9 is disposed on the top of the slide rod 7; the support arm 10 is disposed on one side of the rotating joint mechanism 9; the infrared lamp head 11 is fixedly disposed at the end of the support arm 10 away from the rotating joint mechanism 9.
[0034] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism 6 is used to drive the sliding seat 3 to rise and fall. The rising and falling of the sliding seat 3, in conjunction with the multiple connecting rods 5, can drive the multiple telescopic support legs 4 to rotate and open or retract. The sliding rod 7 can slide and adjust its height position within the hollow column 1. After adjusting to a suitable height position, it is locked by the locking mechanism 8. The support arm 10 is rotatably mounted on one side of the top of the sliding rod 7 through the rotating joint mechanism 9, and can rotate as needed to adjust the tilt angle of the infrared lamp head 11. In use, the driving mechanism 6 is used to drive the sliding seat 3 to slide down until the multiple telescopic legs 4 are opened to a suitable angle. Then, the multiple telescopic legs 4 are extended and supported on the ground. Then, the locking mechanism 8 is released, the sliding rod 7 is slid up to a suitable height position, and then locked with the locking mechanism 8. Finally, the support arm 10 is rotated to adjust the tilt angle of the infrared lamp head 11 so that the infrared lamp head 11 irradiates the area that needs physiotherapy. During storage, the driving mechanism 6 drives the sliding seat 3 to slide upward, causing the multiple telescopic legs 4 to retract to the side of the hollow column 1 and shortening each telescopic leg 4; the locking mechanism 8 is released, and the sliding rod 7 slides back into the hollow column 1; the rotating joint mechanism 9 is used to rotate the support arm 10, causing the support arm 10 to drive the infrared lamp head 11 to adhere to the side of the hollow column 1; thus facilitating folding and storage and improving portability.
[0035] Furthermore, the top end of the mounting cylinder 401 is rotatably connected to the sliding seat 3, the middle part of the mounting cylinder 401 is rotatably connected to the top end of the connecting rod 5, and the mounting cylinder 401 is located on the side of the hollow column 1; the support rod 402 is slidably disposed inside the mounting cylinder 401; a locking hole 40101 is provided on the side of the mounting cylinder 401; a first mounting cavity 40201 is provided inside the support rod 402; the first locking block 403 is slidably disposed inside the first mounting cavity 40201; the end of the first locking block 403 is hemispherical; and the first spring 404 is disposed inside the first mounting cavity 40201.
[0036] In this embodiment, the first spring 404 always applies a spring force to the first locking block 403, so that the first locking block 403 always tends to displace outward from the first mounting cavity 40201. The support rod 402 can slide inside the mounting cylinder 401. When extension is required, the support rod 402 is pulled out of the mounting cylinder 401, and the first locking block 403 moves along with it until it is aligned with the locking hole 40101. Under the action of the first spring 404, the first locking block 403 extends out of the first mounting cavity 40201 and is inserted into the locking hole 40101 to complete the extension locking. When the storage needs to be shortened, press the first locking block 403 with your finger, so that most of the first locking block 403 retracts into the first mounting cavity 40201 (at this time, only the hemispherical end is outside the first mounting cavity 40201). Since the end of the first locking block 403 is hemispherical, when the support rod 402 is pushed into the mounting cylinder 401, the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 401 will press the first locking block 403 along the spherical surface of the first locking block 403, so that the first locking block 403 continues to move into the first mounting cavity 40201, and finally the first locking block 403 is completely retracted into the first mounting cavity 40201; continue to push the support rod 402, so that the support rod 402 retracts into the mounting cylinder 401.
[0037] Furthermore, the support foot 405 is rotatably mounted at the bottom end of the support rod 402.
[0038] In this embodiment, the support foot 405 can rotate, so no matter what angle the support rod 402 is opened to, the support foot 405 can adaptively and stably support the ground, and an anti-slip pad can be provided on the side in contact with the ground.
[0039] Furthermore, the magnet 406 is fixedly disposed inside the mounting cylinder 401; the iron block 407 is fixedly disposed at the end of the support rod 402 away from the support foot 405.
[0040] In this embodiment, after the support rod 402 is retracted into the mounting cylinder 401, the iron block 407 and the magnet 406 attract each other, preventing the support rod 402 from easily slipping out under force.
[0041] Furthermore, the hollow column 1 has an external thread 101 on its outer wall; the first knob 601 is threadedly connected to the hollow column 1 and is located above the sliding seat 3; the mounting ring 602 is fixedly mounted on the hollow column 1; the second spring 603 is sleeved on the hollow column 1 and is located between the mounting ring 602 and the sliding seat 3.
[0042] In this embodiment, the mounting ring 602 supports the second spring 603, which in turn supports the sliding seat 3 from the bottom. The first knob 601 has an internal thread. When the first knob 601 is rotated downwards, it presses down and drives the sliding seat 3 downwards, further compressing the second spring 603. When the first knob 601 is rotated upwards, the second spring 603 pushes the sliding seat 3 upwards, thus achieving the lifting and lowering adjustment of the sliding seat 3. It should be noted that when the first knob 601 is moved to its extreme position, the second spring 603 is also in a compressed state, always providing an upward elastic force to support the sliding seat 3.
[0043] Furthermore, multiple meshing grooves 701 are equidistantly arranged on both sides of the slide rod 7 from top to bottom; the annular seat 801 is fixedly installed on the top of the hollow column 1; the second knob 802 is rotatably installed on the annular seat 801; two second mounting cavities 80101 are symmetrically arranged inside the annular seat 801; two meshing blocks 803 are slidably installed in the two second mounting cavities 80101 respectively; a third spring 804 is provided in each second mounting cavity 80101; each meshing block 803 is fixedly connected to the second knob 802 by a pull rope 805, one end of the pull rope 805 is fixedly connected to the meshing block 803, and the other end of the pull rope 805 passes through the annular seat 801 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second knob 802.
[0044] In this embodiment, the third spring 804 provides a spring force to the engagement block 803, so that the engagement block 803 always tends to displace outward from the second mounting cavity 80101; the engagement groove 701 has an inclined surface, and the engagement block 803 also has an inclined surface; therefore, when the slide rod 7 moves upward, it will not be blocked by the engagement block 803 (even if the engagement block 803 is inserted into the engagement groove 701), and will automatically squeeze and push the engagement block 803, so that the engagement block 803 displaces into the second mounting cavity 80101; However, after the engagement block 803 is inserted into the engagement groove 701, the slide rod 7 is locked by the two engagement blocks 803 and cannot move down. When it is necessary to move down, the second knob 802 needs to be turned. When the second knob 802 is turned, the two pull ropes 805 can be pulled. The two pull ropes 805 pull the two engagement blocks 803 respectively, so that the two engagement blocks 803 retract into the second mounting cavity 80101. At this time, the slide rod 7 can slide down.
[0045] Furthermore, the mounting base 901 is fixedly disposed on the top of the slide rod 7; the rotating shaft 902 is rotatably disposed on one side of the mounting base 901 and is fixedly connected to the end of the support arm 10 away from the infrared lamp head 11; the rotating wheel 903 is fixedly disposed on the rotating shaft 902; the outer circumferential surface of the rotating wheel 903 is provided with a plurality of spherical grooves 90301, and the plurality of spherical grooves 90301 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating wheel 903; the mounting base 901 is provided with a third mounting cavity 90101; the second locking block 904 is slidably disposed in the third mounting cavity 90101; the end of the second locking block 904 is hemispherical; the fourth spring 905 is disposed in the third mounting cavity 90101 and sleeved on the second locking block 904.
[0046] In this embodiment, the mounting base 901 is used to rotatably mount the rotating shaft 902. The rotating wheel 903 and one end of the support arm 10 are both fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 902. The fourth spring 905 provides a spring force to the second locking block 904, so that the second locking block 904 always tends to move outward from the third mounting cavity 90101. The end of the second locking block 904 is hemispherical and fits the spherical groove 90301. Since the end of the second locking block 904 is hemispherical, when the support arm 10 is rotated forcefully, the rotating wheel 903 rotates along with it, which will squeeze and push the second locking block 904 into the third mounting cavity 90101 without being greatly hindered by force. It can be rotated with a little force. After rotating to a suitable angle position, when one of the spherical grooves 90301 is aligned with the second locking block 904, the fourth spring 905 pushes the end of the second locking block 904 into the spherical groove 90301, thus completing the locking.
[0047] Furthermore, the mounting base 901 is also provided with a fourth mounting cavity 90102, which communicates with the third mounting cavity 90101; the stop block 906 is slidably disposed in the fourth mounting cavity 90102; the fifth spring 907 is disposed in the fourth mounting cavity 90102 and located below the stop block 906; the connecting rod 908 is fixedly connected to the stop block 906 and slidably connected to the mounting base 901, and passes through the mounting base 901; the button 909 is fixedly disposed on the top of the connecting rod 908.
[0048] In this embodiment, the fifth spring 907 always provides an upward elastic force to the stop block 906, ensuring that the stop block 906 remains firmly against the top of the fourth mounting cavity 90102. When it is necessary to rotate the support arm 10, the button 909 must be pressed first, causing the stop block 906 to move downward via the connecting rod 908. This prevents the stop block 906 from blocking the tail of the second locking block 904, allowing the second locking block 904 to displace and the hemispherical end to be smoothly compressed back into the third mounting cavity 90101. When the support arm 10 is rotated and adjusted... Once the hemispherical end of the second locking block 904 is inserted into a certain spherical groove 90301, the button 909 is released. The fifth spring 907 pushes the stop block 906 upward, which then blocks the second locking block 904 from the tail. At this time, the hemispherical end of the second locking block 904 cannot retract into the third mounting cavity 90101 and is stably inserted into a certain spherical groove 90301, locking the rotating wheel 903. The rotating wheel 903 cannot rotate, and the support arm 10 cannot rotate either, thus achieving stable support for the infrared lamp head 11.
[0049] Furthermore, the outer wall of the slide rod 7 is fixedly provided with the guide protrusion 12 along the axial direction, and the inner wall of the hollow column 1 is provided with an axial guide groove 102 that slides with the guide protrusion 12.
[0050] In this embodiment, the guide protrusion 12 slides within the axial guide groove 102, so that the slide rod 7 can only slide along the axial direction of the hollow column 1, avoiding circumferential rotation.
[0051] In this embodiment, a foldable and retractable physiotherapy device is used by driving the sliding seat 3 down using the driving mechanism 6 until the multiple telescopic legs 4 are spread to a suitable angle. Then, the multiple telescopic legs 4 are extended and supported on the ground. Then, the locking mechanism 8 is released, and the sliding rod 7 is slid up to a suitable height position and locked with the locking mechanism 8. Finally, the support arm 10 is rotated to adjust the tilt angle of the infrared lamp head 11 so that the infrared lamp head 11 irradiates the area that needs physiotherapy. During storage, the driving mechanism 6 drives the sliding seat 3 to slide upward, causing the multiple telescopic legs 4 to retract to the side of the hollow column 1 and shortening each telescopic leg 4; the locking mechanism 8 is released, and the sliding rod 7 slides back into the hollow column 1; the rotating joint mechanism 9 is used to rotate the support arm 10, causing the support arm 10 to drive the infrared lamp head 11 to adhere to the side of the hollow column 1; thus facilitating folding and storage and improving portability.
[0052] The second embodiment of this application is as follows: Based on the first embodiment, please refer to Figure 12 ,in, Figure 12 This is a flowchart illustrating the second embodiment of the present invention.
[0053] The present invention provides a method for storing a foldable and retractable physiotherapy device, the specific steps of which include: S1: Using the drive mechanism 6, the sliding seat 3 is driven to slide upward, so that multiple telescopic legs 4 are gathered on the side of the hollow column 1, and each telescopic leg 4 is shortened.
