DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 , the utility model is described in further detail.

[0027] An upper limb health care device for the elderly, referring to Figure 1-3 , including a shell 1, a rotating mechanism 2 and a grasping mechanism 3.

[0028] The shell 1 is snail-shaped as a whole, and consists of a rectangular bottom and a cylindrical branch. The branch is installed above the bottom. The branch and the base are both hollow, and the internal space of the branch is connected to the internal space of the bottom. Circular through grooves are opened on both sides of the branch, and the two through grooves are coaxially arranged relative to each other.

[0029] The rotating mechanism 2 includes a rotating disk 21 and a rotating handle 22. The rotating disk 21 is located in the internal space of the branch of the shell 1, and the shape of the rotating disk 21 is just adapted to the shape of the internal space of the branch of the shell 1. The rotating disk 21 cannot move in the internal space of the branch and can only rotate. At least two rotating handles 22 are provided. In this embodiment, two rotating handles 22 are provided. Both rotating handles 22 are arranged in the horizontal direction and are fixedly installed on both sides of the rotating disk 21. Both rotating handles 22 extend to the outside of the shell 1 through the through slot. Both rotating handles 22 are not on the axis of the rotating disk 21, and are arranged relative to the collective center of the rotating disk 21.

[0030] Circular baffles 211 are coaxially fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating disk 21 . The baffles 211 are coaxially arranged with the through slot, and a circular sliding groove is formed between the baffles 211 and the through slot for the rotating handle 22 to slide.

[0031] Among them, in order to reduce the wear of the rotating disk 21 and the shell 1, four pulleys 5 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the branch of the shell 1, and the four pulleys 5 are all in rolling contact with the peripheral wall of the rotating disk 21. A circumscribed square is formed between the four pulleys 5, so that the four pulleys 5 can limit the rotating disk 21. The setting of the pulley 5 converts the sliding friction of the outer wall of the rotating disk 21 into rolling friction, thereby reducing the wear of the rotating disk 21.

[0032] In addition, in order to speed up the functional recovery of the user's palm by the device, a protrusion 221 is also provided on the rotating handle 22 in this embodiment. The diameter of the top of the protrusion 221 is relatively small. When the user holds the rotating handle 22, the protrusion 221 can exert a certain pressure on the user's palm, thereby increasing the stimulation to the muscles of the user's palm.

[0033] The gripping mechanism 3 comprises an exercise ball 31 , an inflatable component 32 and a transmission connection 33 .

[0034] In this embodiment, two exercise balls 31 are provided, both of which are mounted on the bottom of the shell 1, and the exercise balls 31 are elastic hollow balls. The inflatable component 32 is mounted on the shell 1, and the output end of the inflatable component 32 is connected to the exercise ball 31. The inflatable component 32 is used to inflate the exercise ball 31. The transmission connecting member 33 is mounted on the shell 1, and the transmission connecting member 33 is used to connect the rotating mechanism 2 and the inflatable component 32. When the rotating mechanism 2 is running, the inflatable component 32 is driven to run.

[0035] When the user trains the arm part through the rotating mechanism 2, the rotating mechanism 2 inflates the exercise ball 31 through the transmission connecting piece 33 and the inflation component 32, and it takes a while for the exercise ball 31 to be filled with air. This period of time is the training time for the user to train the arm part, thereby determining the time for exercising the arm part; after the exercise ball 31 is filled with air, the user can hold the exercise ball 31 to exercise the grip strength of the palm and fingers. After the exercise ball 31 is squeezed, the gas inside it is squeezed out, and the discharge of the gas also takes a while. This period of time is the training time for the user to train the palm and finger parts, thereby determining the time for exercising the palm and finger parts, and then determining the time of all training amounts and a more accurate training amount as a whole, thereby improving the recovery effect of human skills.

[0036] In addition, when training the palms and fingers by using the exercise ball 31, two-finger pinching, five-finger pinching and grip training methods can be used, which can better train the palms and fingers.

[0037] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The inflatable component 32 includes an impeller 321. In this embodiment, two impeller 321 components are also provided, and the two inflatable components 32 correspond to the two exercise balls 31 one by one.

[0038] A mounting groove 322 for mounting the impeller 321 is provided at the bottom of the shell 1. The mounting groove 322 is composed of a semi-enclosed wind shield 323. The mounting groove 322 is connected to the exercise ball 31. A vent hole 11 is provided on the surface of the bottom of the shell 1. There are two vent holes 11. The two vent holes 11 correspond to the two mounting grooves 322 one by one. The vent holes 11 are connected to the mounting grooves 322.

[0039] The transmission connecting member 33 includes a first bevel gear 331, a second bevel gear 332, a first spur gear 333, a second spur gear 334, a third spur gear 335, a fourth spur gear 336 and a belt 310. The first bevel gear 331 is coaxially fixedly mounted on the rotating disk 21. A first column 337, a second column 338 and a third column are rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the shell 1. The second bevel gear 332 and the first spur gear 333 are both coaxially fixedly mounted on the first column 337. The second spur gear 334 and the third spur gear 335 are both coaxially fixedly mounted on the second column 338.

[0040] There are two third columns 339, which correspond to the two impellers 321 one by one. There are two fourth spur gears 336, which correspond to the two impellers 321 one by one. The fourth spur gears 336 and the impellers 321 are coaxially fixed on the third column 339. The first bevel gear 331 and the second bevel gear 332 are meshed with each other. The first spur gear 333 and the second spur gear 334 are connected by the belt 310. The third spur gear 335 is meshed with the two fourth spur gears 336 at the same time.

[0041] When the user rotates the handle 22 to rotate the rotating disk 21, the rotation of the rotating disk 21 drives the first bevel gear 331 to rotate, and then rotates through the second bevel gear 332 and the first spur gear 333. The first spur gear 333 drives the second spur gear 334 and the third spur gear 335 to rotate through the belt 310, so that the third spur gear 335 drives the fourth spur gear 336 and the impeller 321 to rotate. The rotation of the two impellers 321 draws gas into the exercise ball 31. Since the impeller 321 is not in a relatively closed space, the expansion speed of the exercise ball 31 is relatively slow, thereby increasing the running time of the rotating disk 21, thereby ensuring that the user's single training volume is up to standard as much as possible.

[0042] It should be noted that the contact surface between the pulley 5 and the rotating disk is the middle part of the peripheral wall of the rotating disk, and the first bevel gear is installed on the edge of the peripheral wall of the rotating disk. Therefore, when the first bevel gear rotates, the first bevel gear and the four pulleys 5 will not collide with each other.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 A display screen 4 is provided on the shell 1, and the display screen 4 can display the progress of the exercise time and the amount of training, which can further facilitate the user to complete the amount of training more accurately, so as to improve the recovery effect of human skills; in addition, some audio elements can also be added through the display screen 4. When the user is exercising, some music can be played to make the user reach a relaxed state or motivate the user. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the display screen 4 and the audio elements may not be set.

[0044] Finally, in this embodiment, the length of the housing 1 can be 40-45 cm, preferably 42 cm, the width can be 25-30 cm, preferably 28 cm, the height of the housing 1 can be 40-50 cm, preferably 40 cm; the length of the rotating handle 22 can be 8-12 cm, preferably 10 cm, the diameter of the rotating handle 22 can be 4-8 cm, preferably 6 cm; the volume of the exercise ball 31 can be 22-30 cm 3 , preferably with an outer diameter of up to 30 cm 3 , inner diameter up to 22cm 3This size is set according to the standard ergonomics for the elderly and is suitable for use by most elderly people.

[0045] The embodiments of this specific implementation are all preferred embodiments of the utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model. The same components are represented by the same figure marks. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
