Rehabilitation exercise rocker

Abstract

In daily life, the human body often inadvertently strains its lumbar tissues due to improper exertion. Sometimes, excessive lumbar movement can also cause micro-injuries. Elderly individuals, due to progressive age-related degeneration and overexertion in their youth, also experience frequent lower back pain. In short, lumbar pain is a common problem. Through the inventor's own practice, the rehabilitation exercise rocking boat (hereinafter referred to as the rocking boat) was invented as an effective method to promote recovery and relieve pain. This invention uses a near-V-shaped rocking boat structure for rehabilitation exercise. The operation involves the person sitting at the bottom of the boat, with the upper and lower body leaning upwards against the side supports. The buttocks should rest against the rear side panel, with the entire lower back flat on the base. This rocking boat can rock independently or in combination, forward and backward, and left and right. Utilizing the body's own weight and the inertia of the rocking boat, the body's center of gravity moves freely with the boat, thus creating circulatory pressure on the entire lumbar region. Practice has proven that it has a rapid recovery effect on mild lumbar sprains and during the rehabilitation period for severe sprains, and can also provide a massage effect on the kidney area. The voice-controlled microprocessor and its programming software control the mechanical structure of the rocking boat to perform forward, backward, left, right, or combined movements, and control the rocking angle and speed of the boat. It also provides assistance in situations where no human assistance is required.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of intelligent rehabilitation exercise equipment. It achieves rapid tissue rehabilitation by inducing movement in the human body. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, the human body often inadvertently strains its lumbar tissues due to improper exertion. Sometimes, excessive lumbar activity can also cause micro-injuries. Elderly people, due to progressive age-related degeneration and overexertion in their youth, also experience frequent lower back pain. In short, lumbar pain is a common problem. To address these issues, the inventor, through years of experience and continuous improvement, invented the rehabilitation exercise rocking boat, proving it to be an effective method for relieving lumbar pain and promoting healing. It also has a massaging effect on the kidneys.

[0003] This invention uses a combination of a voice multi-microprocessor, C language, controller, stepper motor, and metal transmission mechanism to form a rehabilitation exercise rocking boat, and performs intelligent control. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention consists of three parts: a multi-dimensional motion metal mechanism, a power and transmission component, and a multi-functional control system composed of a voice microprocessor.

[0005] Multidimensional motion metal mechanism. 1. The outermost layer is a rectangular metal frame, supported and balanced by six bases. 2. The middle layer is also a metal frame structure, fixed to the outer frame by two pivots, and can rotate forward and backward within a certain range. 3. The inner layer is also a metal frame structure, fixed to the middle frame by a rotatable metal shaft, and can rotate left and right within a certain range. 4. A composite plate is used to secure the inner frame to the V-shaped mechanical parts. 5. All materials used are angle steel and screws for fixing, and composite plates; rotating parts all use bearings.

[0006] Power and transmission components: 1. All power sources use 24V57 stepper motors, which are both safe and easy to control. 2. Screw-driven transmission is used, ensuring stability and reliability. 3. Because the motion is a non-linear, arc-shaped trajectory, a transmission structure with both axes capable of rotation is used.

[0007] A multi-functional control system composed of a voice microprocessor. Voice control makes it easier to use without assistance. Attached Figure Description

[0008] I. This invention Figure 1This is a V-shaped, rocking boat-like multi-dimensional motion metal mechanism. The outer ring 1 is a rectangular metal frame with two rotating shafts, fixed to the middle ring. The middle ring 3 is a rectangular metal frame that can swing back and forth, with a rotatable long shaft 4 mounted on it, fixed to the inner ring 5 rectangular frame. The inner ring can rock left and right. A V-shaped wooden plank is mounted on the metal mechanism of the inner ring frame. During movement, the human body sits within it, with legs on the back plank, buttocks against the back plank, waist flat on the plank, and upper body and head resting against the front plank, the entire body moving in a near V-shape while seated on the boat.

[0009] The rehabilitation exercise rocking boat utilizes the body's own weight and the inertia of the rocking motion, causing the body's center of gravity to swing freely with the boat, thus creating circulatory pressure on the entire lumbar region. Practice has shown that it has a rapid recovery effect on mild lumbar sprains and during the rehabilitation period for severe injuries, and can also have a massage effect on the kidneys.

[0010] This invention relates to a power transmission mechanism for a stepper motor that swings back and forth, and a power transmission mechanism for a stepper motor that swings left and right.

[0011] The forward and backward and left and right movements used in this invention are independent mechanical structures that do not interfere with each other, resulting in better stability. This is superior to existing center ball positioning structures and is more suitable for the elderly.

[0012] II. This invention Figure 2 For the front Figure 1 A more detailed diagram is provided.

[0013] One of the fixing plates 2 is mounted on the stepper motor 1. Two bearing seats 4 are screwed onto this fixing plate 2. A shaft fixing seat 5 is fixed between the two bearing seats 4 using a shaft 3, and the base of the shaft fixing seat 5 can rotate freely. Two identical sets are installed on each side of the fixing plate 2 to ensure balance, stability, and load-bearing capacity. The two shaft fixing seats 5 are fixed to the outer (or middle) frame 6. At this time, the stepper motor 1 and the lead screw 9 and bushing 7 fixed on it can swing freely.

[0014] Secondly, on the other fixed plate 2, two sets of bearing seats 4, optical shafts 3, and shaft fixing seats 5, identical to those in the previous one, are installed on both sides. The shaft fixing seats 5 are fixed to the rotating middle (or inner) frame 6. A screw nut 8 is screwed into the center of this fixed plate 2, and the lead screw of the stepper motor can rotate into it.

[0015] The stepper motor 1 is fixed to the outer (or middle) frame 6, and the part with the nut 8 is fixed to the middle (or inner) frame 6. The rotation of the stepper motor 1 can drive the two metal frames to move relative to each other.

[0016] As long as the swing direction of stepper motor 1 and fixed plate 2 is the same as the arc center direction of the arc motion of metal frame, the error of nonlinear motion trajectory can be compensated within a certain range.

[0017] III. This invention Figure 3 This is a multifunctional control system composed of a voice microprocessor. It consists of a stepper motor, front / back and left / right controllers, a power voltage converter, a voice microprocessor, a speaker, a microphone, and a lithium battery pack.

[0018] The entire power system is powered by rechargeable lithium batteries, with multiple batteries available for backup and replacement. Charging can be performed in a safe environment, making the equipment safer to use and operate.

[0019] For safety, in case of an accident, simply press the power button K quickly to immediately stop all system operations. The power button must be rotated to start the system.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] This invention is a rehabilitation exercise device that can be used in multiple settings, including rehabilitation institutions, homes, and sports facilities.

[0021] This equipment features a simple structure, high safety and reliability, and is primarily assembled. The software is self-developed and designed for long-term use. All drawings and manufacturing processes are readily available, facilitating large-scale production. Especially given the rising cost of labor, it offers excellent value for money.
