Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical rehabilitation, in particular to a pelvic floor muscle auxiliary training device. Background Art

[0002] During childbirth, women's pelvic floor muscles will be severely damaged. Therefore, after childbirth, almost all women need to do pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation training.

[0003] A utility model patent with publication number "CN219128208U" in the prior art discloses a pelvic floor muscle training device for preventing urinary incontinence, comprising a training device body, fixed blocks fixedly connected on both sides of the training device body, protective plates movably connected on opposite sides of the two fixed blocks, two positioning rods fixedly connected to one side of the protective plate, a positioning slot for cooperating with the positioning rods formed inside the fixed blocks, and a movable mechanism rotatably connected inside the fixed blocks. This pelvic floor muscle training device for preventing urinary incontinence employs a movable mechanism. The user rotates the movable plate, which simultaneously drives the movable column to move, which in turn drives the rotating plate to move, which in turn drives the rotating column to move. This makes the fixed rod more stable during movement, prevents the fixed rod from deviating during movement, and thus increases the stability of the limit plate during movement.

[0004] The aforementioned training device is held in place by clamping against the user's inner thighs. This clamping method can easily cause the device to fall off without sustained clamping force. Therefore, when users need to rest after continuous leg-clamping exercises, they must either remove the device or maintain a certain clamping force to prevent it from shifting or falling. This design limits the device's ease of use and user comfort, especially during long training sessions, where frequent adjustments or repositioning of the device may cause fatigue or inconvenience.

[0015] Beneficial effects

[0016] The present invention provides a pelvic floor muscle auxiliary training device. In this invention, the user ties the end of the pull rope away from the lifting plate to the thigh. Then, the user performs training by clamping and relaxing the legs. During the clamping action, the user's thigh drives the pull rope to move. During this process, the pull rope is guided by the support wheel assembly, thereby driving the lifting plate upward. The upward movement of the lifting plate will stretch the tension spring. At this time, the user needs to overcome the resistance of the tension spring. This process effectively exercises the pelvic floor muscles. When the user's legs relax and move away from each other, the restoring force of the tension spring will drive the lifting plate downward to prepare for the next training cycle.

[0017] Compared to existing technologies, this training device offers an advantage in ease of use. After completing a series of exercises and needing a break, the user can simply spread their legs apart. The tension spring automatically returns to its normal position without any additional user intervention. To resume training, the user simply continues the leg tightening or loosening movements without repositioning the training device. This improvement not only improves training continuity but also increases user comfort, making pelvic floor muscle training more natural and efficient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a pelvic floor muscle auxiliary training device, comprising a base plate 1, two vertical plates 2, two sets of tension springs 3, two pull ropes 4, a lifting plate 5, two sets of guide rods 6, two mounting plates 7, and two support wheel assemblies 8. The two vertical plates 2 are respectively mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 1, the two support wheel assemblies 8 are respectively mounted on the upper ends of the two vertical plates 2, the two sets of guide rods 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1, the two mounting plates 7 are connected to the guide rods 6, the lower ends of the two sets of tension springs 3 are respectively connected to the upper surfaces of the two mounting plates 7, the two lifting plates 5 are respectively slidably connected to the two sets of guide rods 6, the upper ends of the tension springs 3 are connected to the lifting plates 5, one end of the two pull ropes 4 is connected to the lifting plates 5, and the two pull ropes 4 are passed around the support wheel assemblies 8, and the other ends of the two pull ropes 4 are used to be tied to the thighs.

[0026] Each group of tension springs 3 includes two tension springs, and each group of guide rods 6 includes two guide rods 6 .

[0027] During use, the user first sits on any conventional bench or chair and places the training device in front of him or her. The user steps firmly on the base plate 1 with both feet to ensure the stability of the device. Afterwards, the user ties the end of the pull rope 4 away from the lifting plate 5 to the thigh. Next, the user performs training by clamping and relaxing the legs. During the clamping action, the user's thigh drives the pull rope 4 to move. During this process, the pull rope 4 is guided by the support wheel assembly 8, thereby driving the lifting plate 5 to move upward. The upward movement of the lifting plate 5 will stretch the tension spring 3. At this time, the user needs to overcome the resistance of the tension spring 3. This process effectively exercises the pelvic floor muscles. When the user's legs relax and move away from each other, the restoring force of the tension spring 3 will drive the lifting plate 5 to move downward, preparing for the next training cycle.

[0028] Compared to existing technologies, this training device offers an advantage in ease of use. After completing a series of exercises, if the user needs a break, they can simply spread their legs apart. The tension spring 3 automatically returns to its normal position, eliminating the need for the user to perform any additional manipulation or reposition the training device. This improvement not only improves training continuity but also increases user comfort, making the pelvic floor muscle training process more natural and efficient.

[0029] Since different users require different training intensities, we have designed a method to adjust the training intensity by adjusting the initial state of the tension spring 3.

[0030] Specifically, a pelvic floor muscle auxiliary training device also includes a first screw 9 and a mounting seat 10. The mounting seat 10 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 2. The upper end of the first screw 9 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 10. The lower end of the first screw 9 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. The first screw 9 passes through the lifting plate 5 and is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 5; the lifting plate 5 is slidably connected to the guide rod 6, and two through holes 1001 are provided on the mounting seat 10 for the tension spring 3 to pass through.

[0031] When the training intensity needs to be adjusted, the first screw rod 9 is rotated. The rotation of the first screw rod 9 drives the mounting plate 7 to perform a lifting movement. When the mounting plate 7 moves downward, the tension spring 3 is stretched. Then the user's legs need to exert a greater leg clamping force to move the legs closer together. Then the pelvic floor muscles need to provide greater force to achieve the effect of increasing the training intensity. Conversely (moving the mounting plate 7 upward) the training intensity can be reduced. On the one hand, the setting of the mounting seat 10 can improve the stability of the installation of the guide rod 6. On the other hand, when not in use, the lifting plate 5 will be subjected to the tension of the tension spring 3 and contact the mounting seat 10. The mounting seat 10 plays a certain role in limiting and supporting the lifting plate 5.

[0032] Specifically, a handle 901 is provided on the first screw 9, and a threaded sleeve 11 is fixedly mounted on the lifting plate 5. The first screw 9 passes through the threaded sleeve 11 and is threadedly connected to the threaded sleeve 11. During use, the user can rotate the first screw 9 by holding the handle 901. The setting of the handle 901 makes it easy for the user to rotate the first screw 9.

[0033] Specifically, each lifting plate 5 is connected to two pull ropes 4, and each riser 2 is provided with two support wheel assemblies 8 for adapting the pull ropes 4. The setting of the two pull ropes 4 can achieve the effect of balancing the pulling force, so that the pulling force received by the lifting plate 5 is as even as possible, ensuring the stable operation of the device.

[0034] Specifically, the end of the drawstring 4 away from the lifting plate 5 is connected to a leg band 12, and the two ends of the leg band 12 are bonded by Velcro to form a cylindrical structure. The setting of the leg band 12 is used to improve the comfort of the connection between the drawstring 4 and the leg.

[0035] Specifically, a lifting mechanism 13 is provided at the upper end of the riser 2, comprising a housing 131, an extension plate 132, and a second screw 133. The housing 131 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the riser 2, the extension plate 132 extends into the housing 131 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 131, the second screw 133 passes through the riser 2 and is threadedly connected to the riser 2, and the lower end of the second screw 133 is rotatably connected to the bottom wall of the housing 131. The support wheel assembly 8 is mounted on the upper end of the extension plate 132. Since users may have different heights and therefore calf lengths during use, the height of the support wheel assembly 8 can be adjusted by the lifting mechanism 13 so that the portion of the drawstring that passes around the support wheel assembly 8 and is bound to the user's thigh is as horizontal as possible.

[0036] Furthermore, by rotating the second screw 133 , the rotation of the second screw 133 drives the extension plate 132 to move up and down relative to the shell 131 , and the extension plate 132 drives the support wheel assembly 8 to move up and down, thereby achieving height adjustment of the support wheel assembly 8 .

[0037] Specifically, the support wheel assembly 8 includes two connecting plates 801, a first roller 802, and a second roller 803. The first roller 802 and the second roller 803 are rotatably mounted between the two connecting plates 801. The sides of the first roller 802 and the second roller 803 are each provided with a groove for accommodating the pull rope 4. The second roller 803 is located above the first roller 802 and limits the position of the pull rope 4. When the pull rope 4 moves, the first roller 802 rotates, and the second roller 803 also rotates with the pull rope 4. The groove is designed to prevent the pull rope 4 from escaping from the first roller 802. At the same time, the groove of the second roller 803 and the groove of the first roller 802 form a space for the pull rope 4 to move, and the second roller 803 further prevents the pull rope 4 from escaping from the first roller 802.

[0038] Specifically, rubber anti-skid pads 14 are respectively provided at the four corners of the lower surface of the base plate 1. The rubber anti-skid pads 14 are used to increase the friction between the base plate 1 and the ground, ensure the stability of the base plate 1, and thus ensure the stability of the training device.

[0039] Specifically, the sides of the two vertical plates 2 that are adjacent to each other are provided with reinforcing ribs 15 connected to the base plate 1. The reinforcing ribs 15 are provided to improve the stability between the vertical plates 2 and the base plate 1. The vertical plates 2 are provided with notches 201, which are provided to reduce the overall weight of the device and facilitate transportation of the training device.

[0040] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are merely used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
