[0002] The ankle pump exercise for the lower limbs is a simple and effective method of functional exercise for the lower limbs. It mainly promotes blood circulation and lymphatic flow through the flexion and extension and circular movements of the ankle joints. It is of great significance to the health and functional recovery of the lower limbs. The ankle pump exercise for the lower limbs is a simple and effective method of functional exercise for the lower limbs. It is of great significance to the health and functional recovery of the lower limbs. When exercising, you should pay attention to choosing the appropriate body position, range of motion, activity time and frequency, and follow the principle of gradual progress.

[0003] Lower limb ankle pump exercises have multiple benefits, including promoting blood circulation and increasing blood flow, thereby reducing blood pooling in the lower extremities and lowering the risk of deep vein thrombosis. They also help alleviate lower limb swelling and accelerate its resolution, strengthen the muscles surrounding the calf and ankle joints, and gradually restore ankle mobility. Continuous flexion, extension, and rotational movement maintain joint flexibility and reduce the risk of joint stiffness and adhesions.

[0004] Currently, when patients perform ankle pump exercises for the lower limbs, they can choose to lie or sit on the bed according to the actual situation, stretch their lower limbs, relax their thighs, then slowly curl up their toes, try to make their toes point towards themselves, hold for 10 seconds when reaching the maximum limit, then slowly press down on their toes, hold for 10 seconds when reaching the maximum limit, and repeat this action for exercise.

At this time, the patient's foot can be moved slowly, thereby driving the first fixed block and the second fixed block to rotate forward and reverse, which is convenient for the patient to perform rehabilitation exercises. At the same time, when the first fixed block and the second fixed block rotate, the rotating shaft and the pressing block will be synchronously driven to rotate, so that the pressing block and the button are misaligned. When the misalignment occurs, the timing device starts timing. After a certain period of time, the timing device makes a sound to remind the patient to change the action, so as to avoid exercising one action for too long and affecting the exercise effect. This device allows the patient to directly feel the movement state of the ankle joint and the contraction and relaxation of the muscles during the exercise, which helps the patient to better grasp the correctness and effectiveness of the exercise, so that the patient can better perform rehabilitation exercises.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the device is not in use, the rotating shaft can be reset by the coil spring, so that the pressing block and the timing device button are aligned, making the timing device unable to measure time, reducing unnecessary timing operations, and reducing the wear of the timing device and the button, thereby extending their service life.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a first rubber layer is provided on the top of the first fixing block and on one adjacent side of a group of the second fixing blocks.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the first fixing block and the second fixing tube can be prevented from directly contacting the patient's feet, thereby avoiding abrasions or wear, reducing the discomfort caused by friction during exercise, and increasing the friction between it and the skin, preventing instability caused by sliding during exercise.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a plurality of protrusions are fixedly connected to the bottom of the base, and a second rubber layer is provided on the bottom of each protrusion.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction with the contact surface can be increased by the protrusion, so the base can be prevented from sliding or displacing during use, affecting use. At the same time, the provision of the second rubber layer can also increase the friction with the contact surface, thereby increasing the stability of the device during use.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that the timing device is connected to the base via a set of support rods.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the timing device can be effectively supported, ensuring that it can remain stable in various usage environments and is not prone to shaking or tipping over.

[0017] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The utility model allows the patient to place the sole of the foot on the top of the first fixing block and the toes in the middle of a group of second fixing blocks, and then slowly move the patient's foot. The first fixing block and the second fixing block can be rotated forward and reversely, which is convenient for the patient to perform rehabilitation exercises. This device allows the patient to directly feel the movement state of the ankle joint and the contraction and relaxation of the muscles during the exercise, which helps the patient to better grasp the correctness and effectiveness of the exercise, so that the patient can better perform rehabilitation exercises.

[0019] 2. When the first fixed block and the second fixed block are rotated, the utility model will synchronously drive the rotating shaft and the pressing block to rotate, which will cause the pressing block and the button to be misaligned, and after a certain period of misalignment, a sound will be emitted to remind the patient to change the action, thereby preventing the patient from exercising one action for too long, thereby improving the exercise effect.

[0029] Then, a group of columns 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, and the adjacent sides of a group of columns 2 are rotatably connected with a rotating shaft 3. The outer surface of each rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting rod 4 and one end of the second connecting rod 6. A group of first connecting rods 4 are fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of a group of second connecting rods 6. The first fixing block 5 and the second fixing block 7 can be fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of a group of second connecting rods 6. The first fixing block 5 and the second fixing block 7 can be rotated in the middle of a group of columns 2 through the rotating shaft 3. Therefore, when in use, the patient's sole can be placed on the top of the first fixing block 5 and the toes can be placed in the middle of a group of second fixing blocks 7. When the patient's foot moves slowly, the first fixing block 5 and the second fixing block 7 can be driven to rotate, which is convenient for the patient to perform rehabilitation exercises. During the exercise, the patient can directly feel the movement state of the ankle joint and the contraction and relaxation of the muscles, which helps the patient to better grasp the correctness and effectiveness of the exercise, so that the patient can better perform rehabilitation exercises.

[0030] A first rubber layer 8 is provided on the top of the first fixing block 5 and on one adjacent side of a group of second fixing blocks 7, which can prevent the patient's feet from directly contacting the first fixing block 5 and the second fixing block 7, thereby avoiding abrasions or wear, and reducing the discomfort caused by friction during exercise.
