Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of rehabilitation exercise, in particular to a rehabilitation and fitness stepper for the elderly. Background Art
[0002] There are very few sports and fitness equipment for the elderly, especially for sick elderly people who need sports rehabilitation training after diseases such as cerebral stroke. Not only are they expensive and complex in structure, but their functions cannot meet the fitness needs of the elderly very well. Steppers are a common fitness equipment. Steppers can enable fitness people to repeatedly climb stairs, which can not only enhance the function of the cardiovascular system, but also fully exercise the thigh and calf muscles.
[0003] The existing stepper has a relatively fixed structure and lacks flexibility. Fatigue is easily generated after long-term standing exercise, and the elderly are physically weak, so they are prone to falling after long-term use of steppers. Some current steppers are designed with seats, but after using the seats, the leg force method changes, the auxiliary effect of the upper body muscles is reduced, the exercise parts are concentrated on the legs and buttocks, and the exercise effect on the core muscles is weakened. For this reason, we propose a rehabilitation and fitness stepper for the elderly. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that the existing stepper has a relatively fixed structure and lacks flexibility. Due to fatigue easily generated after long-term standing exercise, and the elderly are physically weak, they are prone to fall after long-term use of the stepper. Some current steppers are designed with seats, but after using the seats, the leg force mode changes, the auxiliary effect of the upper body muscles is reduced, the exercise parts are concentrated on the legs and buttocks, and the exercise effect on the core muscle groups is weakened. The utility model provides a rehabilitation and fitness stepper for the elderly.
[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model specifically adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A rehabilitation and fitness stepper for the elderly comprises a center seat, two sides of the center seat are fixedly connected with a driving electrical box, the front sides of the driving electrical boxes on both sides are fixedly connected with side brackets, tension rollers are rotatably installed between the side brackets on both sides, the front tension roller shaft passes through the side bracket and is fixedly connected with a damper, the upper end of the driving electrical box is fixedly connected with a prone support rod, the two inner rods of the prone support rods are arranged upwards, and a support plate swivel seat is rotatably connected between the upper ends of the inner rods of the prone support rods, a prone support plate is fixedly connected to the middle part of the outer wall of the support plate swivel seat, the rear side of the upper end of the center seat is fixedly connected with a front grip rod, the outer sides of the front and rear tension rollers are sleeved with stepping ring belts, and the outer wall of the stepping ring belt is evenly fixedly connected with a plurality of stepping slopes.
[0007] Furthermore, one end of the support plate swivel seat passes through the upper end of the inner rod of the prone support rod and is threadedly connected with a clamping nut, and the clamping nut is provided with radial triangular convex teeth on the side of the swivel seat facing the upper end of the inner rod of the prone support rod, and a circle of rubber friction pad is fixedly connected to the outer side of the upper end of the inner rod of the prone support rod corresponding to the inner side of the clamping nut.
[0008] Furthermore, a plurality of anti-skid ridges are fixedly connected at equal intervals to one side of the upper end of the pedal slope facing the prone support plate.
[0009] Furthermore, both sides of the prone support plate are fixedly connected with side elastic clamps, and the side elastic clamps are made of elastic ABS material.
[0010] Furthermore, a foam contact pad is fixedly connected to the lower front edge of the prone support plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the prone support rod is an electric telescopic rod, and the driving motor of the prone support rod is buried in a driving electrical box.
[0012] Furthermore, the step ring belt is an annular buried rope rubber belt, and the step ring belt is tensioned and sleeved on the outside of two tensioning rollers, and a plurality of horizontal supporting rollers are fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the step ring belt corresponding to the side brackets on both sides.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. The utility model provides a side bracket and a tensioning roller. The side bracket rotatably installs the tensioning roller, and fixes the stepping ring belt through two tensioning rollers, so that the stepping ring belt can rotate with the tensioning roller. Through the provided prone support rod, the prone support plate fixed at the upper end of the prone support rod can be tilted. Through the provided damper, the damper adopts the same magnetically controlled damping or friction resistance as the existing elliptical machine and dynamic bicycle to provide resistance for the movement of the stepping ring belt. When using it, the user can lie on the prone support plate, hold the front handlebar tightly, and fix both arms By setting the pedal slope, both sides of the pedal slope are inclined surfaces, and the slope of the side facing the prone support board is smaller, which can fit the soles of the tilted patients better. The elderly lying on the prone support board can pedal the pedal slope to drive the stepping belt to overcome the damping rotation of the damper. Since the patient's upper body is tilted, most of the weight of the trunk is shared by the prone support board, reducing the load on the patient's knees, which can prevent the patient from falling after fatigue and loss of strength. In addition, the setting of the prone support board does not affect the patient's buttocks and back muscles, and the exercise effect is more comprehensive.
[0015] 2. The utility model provides a tensioning nut, which can be pressed against the rubber friction pad on the outer side of the upper end of the inner rod of the prone support rod through the threaded cooperation of the support plate swivel, so as to brake the support plate swivel and fix the rotation angle of the support plate swivel. After the tensioning nut is loosened, it can be rotated and sleeved to adjust the patient's prone angle, which is convenient for the patient to adjust according to his own physical condition and has a wider range of applications.
[0016] 3. The utility model provides side elastic splints, which can support both sides of the patient's chest to prevent the patient from sliding on both sides during exercise and falling off the prone support plate, thereby ensuring the patient's safety. The elasticity of the side elastic splints improves the self-deformation adaptability to patients with different chest widths, thereby improving the practicability of the device.
