DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0045] The technical solution of the present utility model is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] The utility model discloses an automatic ankle pump exercise trainer, see Figure 1 In some examples, the automatic ankle pump exercise trainer disclosed in the utility model includes a base 1, a driving component 2, an active position contact component 3, a controller 4 and a timer 5. The base 1 is placed on the ground or fixed on the bed. When the base 1 is placed on the ground, it can be fixed by its own gravity or by bolts and other connecting parts. When the base 1 is placed on the bed, it needs to be fixed at the end of the bed with a strap.

[0047] The driving assembly 2 is installed on the base 1 to provide power. There are two movable position contact assemblies 3, which are symmetrically arranged on the base 1 and connected to the driving assembly 2 or arranged on the driving assembly 2.

[0048] The function of the active position contact component 3 is to drive the patient's foot to swing around the ankle.

[0049] See also Figure 2 The controller 4 is electrically connected to the driving assembly 2, and its function is to adjust the swing speed and swing angle of the driving assembly 2. It should be understood that for different patients, the relevant parameters of the ankle pump movement they need are different.

[0050] For example, in the early stages of rehabilitation training, a low-frequency, small-angle swinging method is generally required. As the training time increases, the swinging frequency and the swinging angle gradually increase. For another example, the swinging frequency and the swinging angle are different for different groups of people. The swinging frequency and the swinging angle when used by the elderly should be smaller than those when used by young people.

[0051] The utility model further adds a timer 5, which is electrically connected to the controller 4 and has the function of calculating the training time and issuing a reminder when the time is reached. In the utility model, the working mode of the timer 5 is that after the driving component 2 is started, the timer 5 starts timing.

[0052] Of course, the timer 5 can also be replaced by a timer switch, and the countdown time can be set during use, and the power supply will be automatically cut off after the timer returns to zero.

[0053] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive assembly 2 includes a driver 21 and a sub-controller 22. The driver 21 is fixedly mounted on the base 1. In some possible implementations, the driver 21 uses a stepper motor, and the advantage of the stepper motor is that the speed is adjustable. Of course, the driver 21 can also be used in conjunction with a reducer.

[0054] The sub-controller 22 is electrically connected to the driver 21 and the controller 4 , and its function is to convert the instructions under the controller 4 into instructions that can be executed by the driver 21 .

[0055] See also Figure 3 The active position contact assembly 3 includes a pedal 31 and a connecting portion 32. The first end of the connecting portion 32 is connected to the pedal 31, and the second end is connected to the driving assembly 2. The connecting portion 32 can be a short shaft or a connecting hole.

[0056] It is also necessary to consider that some patients cannot move or even control their angles autonomously. In order to solve this problem, the utility model adds an auxiliary fixator 33 and an elastic rope 34. The auxiliary fixator 33 is hinged on the pedal 31 and is fixed to the patient's calf with the help of the elastic rope 34.

[0057] The first end of the elastic cord 34 is fixed to the first side of the auxiliary fixator 33, and the second end passes through the connector or through hole on the second side of the auxiliary fixator 33. There is a Velcro on the elastic cord 34, and the auxiliary fixator 33 can be fitted on the patient's calf by adjusting the length.

[0058] In some possible implementations, there are multiple elastic cords 34 , and these multiple elastic cords 34 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the auxiliary fixator 33 (on the patient's calf).

[0059] The utility model also provides another automatic ankle pump exercise trainer. The difference between this automatic ankle pump exercise trainer and the automatic ankle pump exercise trainer described in the above content is that this automatic ankle pump exercise trainer is provided for patients who can control their lower limbs.

[0060] The structural difference is that the driving component 2 is replaced by the force control component 6, which is composed of a rotating shaft 61, a resistance adjustment wheel 62 and a magnetic regulator 63. The rotating shaft 61 is rotatably connected to the base 1, the resistance adjustment wheel 62 is fixedly mounted on the first end of the rotating shaft 61, and the movable position contact component 3 is fixedly mounted on the second end of the rotating shaft 61.

[0061] Of course, the resistance adjustment wheel 62 can also be fixedly installed at the middle position of the rotating shaft 61, and the two movable position contact components 3 are fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 61 respectively.

[0062] The magnetic regulator 63 is installed on the base 1, and the gap between the magnetic regulator 63 and the resistance adjustment wheel 62 is adjustable. When the gap becomes larger, the restraining force on the resistance adjustment wheel 62 decreases, and when the gap becomes smaller, the restraining force on the resistance adjustment wheel 62 increases.

[0063] The magnetic force regulator 63 is composed of a swing arm, a magnet fixed on the swing arm, a return spring (not shown) installed at the connection between the swing arm and the base 1, and an adjustment rod. Figure 6 In the middle, the adjusting rod pushes the swing arm to swing to the right, and when the adjusting rod moves to the left, the return spring pushes the swing arm to swing to the left.

[0064] By adjusting the gap width, the swing resistance of the active position contact component 3 can be adjusted. For example, for patients with a certain degree of lower limb self-control ability, the swing resistance of the active position contact component 3 can be appropriately increased; for some patients who also need strength training, the swing resistance of the active position contact component 3 can also be appropriately increased.

[0065] It should be understood that the controller 4 can use a single-chip microcomputer (89C51 series), and the function of the sub-controller 22 is to parse the instructions issued by the controller 4. Because the controller 4 cannot directly control the driver 21, the sub-controller 22 can use a driver IC, such as L6258EX and A4988.

[0066] As for the swing frequency and the swing angle, two sets of buttons are used in the present invention to realize them, and the electrical signals generated by the two knobs are input to the ADC module on the single chip microcomputer, or the digital signals are input to the single chip microcomputer with the help of an external ADC module.

[0067] The signal generated by the first knob is a time signal, and the time is the time required for one swing; the signal generated by the second knob is a swing angle signal, and the swing angle is the maximum angle during one swing.

[0068] The embodiments of this specific implementation method are all preferred embodiments of the utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, all 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.
