[0019] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but this does not limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] Example

[0021] The foot care device for diabetic patients described in this embodiment is as follows: Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device comprises a base plate 1, with an independent support plate 3 positioned directly above the base plate 1. Support columns 2 are provided between the support plate 3 and the base plate 1 to support the support plate 3. Four support columns 2 are arranged in a rectangular shape between the base plate 1 and the support plate 3. During use, the support plate 3 is supported so that a certain distance is maintained between the base plate 1 and the support plate 3, allowing sufficient space for the rotating shaft 11 to move up and down. The four support columns 2 constitute a support assembly, which can also be a support frame. The support frame, the base plate 1, and the support plate 3 form a complete housing.

[0022] A foot pedal 5 independent of the support plate 3 is provided directly above the support plate 3 . The foot pedal 5 is a rectangular structure and is made of plastic.

[0023] The support plate 3 has a first through-hole extending vertically therethrough, while the footrest 5 has a second through-hole extending vertically therethrough. A common rotating shaft 11, made of stainless steel, is independently mounted through both the first and second through-holes. The upper end of the rotating shaft 11 passes through the second through-hole and secures the massage plate 6. A mounting slot for the massage plate 6 is defined at the top of the footrest 5. The massage plate 6 is independently positioned within the mounting slot, with the top of the massage plate 6 flush with the top of the footrest 5. During use, the sole of the foot comes into contact with both the massage plate 6 and the footrest 5.

[0024] The massage plate 6 is made of plastic and is provided with a plurality of massage balls 7 for massaging the human foot.

[0025] Each massage ball 7 is provided with a ball groove at the top of the massage disc 6. The massage ball 7 is positioned so that it can roll freely within the groove. A cover plate 8 is mounted on the top of the massage disc 6. Each massage ball 7 has a stopper hole extending vertically from the top of the cover plate 8. The diameter of the stopper hole is smaller than that of the massage ball 7. During production, the cover plate 8 is placed on the top of the massage disc 6, and the stopper hole secures the massage ball 7 within the groove. During use, the massage ball 7 rolls freely, massaging the patient's foot. This free rolling action reduces friction between the massage ball 7 and the patient's foot.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, several balls 9 are positioned between the bottom of the massage disc 6 and the bottom of the mounting slot to reduce friction between them. The mounting slot bottom has several ball grooves distributed circumferentially along the mounting slot, each containing a freely rotatable ball 9. As the massage disc 6 rotates, the balls 9 reduce friction between it and the mounting slot.

[0027] A spring 4 is installed between the support plate 3 and the footrest 5 to propel the footrest 5 upward. The spring 4 is independently mounted on a rotating shaft 11, with its ends connected to the top of the support plate 3 and the bottom of the footrest 5, respectively. During use, when the patient steps on the footrest 5, the footrest 5 moves downward, and then the elastic force of the spring 4 pushes the footrest 5 back upward. Therefore, the spring 4 is also called a thrust assembly. During production, the thrust assembly can also be a spring sheet, two of which are symmetrically distributed between the support plate 3 and the base plate 1. The spring sheet facilitates the upward return of the footrest 5.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, a spiral blade 10 is mounted on a rotating shaft 11, and a spiral groove 12 is defined within the first through hole to guide the rotation and vertical movement of the spiral blade 10. The spiral blade 10 and the rotating shaft 11 are integrally formed. Both the rotating shaft 11 and the spiral blade 10 are made of stainless steel. During production, the outer surfaces of the rotating shaft 11 and the spiral blade 10 are polished to reduce friction during relative movement between the spiral blade 10 and the spiral groove 12.

[0029] During use, the patient's foot steps on the massage disc 6 and the foot pedal 5, applying downward pressure. Under the action of the pressure, the spring 4 is compressed, and the rotating shaft 11 moves downward along the first through hole. At the same time, the spiral blade 10 rotates in a spiral manner under the guidance of the spiral groove 12, driving the rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The rotating shaft 11 drives the massage disc 6 to rotate, and the rotation of the massage disc 6 massages the patient's foot. The massage ball 7 reduces the friction between the patient's foot and the massage disc 6, which is more conducive to the rotation of the massage disc 6. During the patient's stepping process, the contact force between the patient's foot and the massage ball 7 is increased, making the massage more effective. At the same time, during the stepping process, the patient's calf exerts force, which serves the purpose of exercise. Under the action of the massage ball 7, it can better promote blood circulation in the patient's foot, thereby achieving better foot care effects for diabetic patients.

[0030] During production, the spiral blade 10 is a double spiral blade 10, which is more stable during use. In order to ensure that the spiral blade 10 and the spiral groove 12 can fit more smoothly, the support plate 3 is made of stainless steel, and its first through hole and the spiral groove 12 are polished. Friction will be generated during the relative movement between the spiral blade 10 and the spiral groove 12, so lubricating oil can be applied between the two to improve the problem of large friction and facilitate the rotation of the rotating shaft 11. In addition, the spiral angle of the spiral blade 10 should not be too small, otherwise the rotating shaft 11 will be difficult to rotate.

[0031] like Figure 4As shown above, if the combination of all the above components is described as a massage assembly for massaging a patient's feet, then in actual application, the massage assembly can be provided in two groups, each for use on the patient's two feet. During use, the patient's feet step on the two footboards 5 respectively, and when one foot is lifted, the other foot steps down, alternating between the two feet.

[0032] A dovetail groove is provided at the bottom of the base plate 1, and the two base plates 1 are connected by a connecting plate 13. The cross section of the connecting plate 13 is dovetail-shaped, and its two ends can be inserted into the dovetail groove of the base plate 1 respectively, connecting the two sets of massage components together, which is more stable when used.

[0033] When spring 4 is in natural state, the lower end of rotating shaft 11 is still in the first through hole, preventing rotating shaft 11 from disengaging from the first through hole. Of course, a stop block can also be provided at the lower end of rotating shaft 11 to limit rotating shaft 11 from disengaging from the first through hole.

[0034] The height of the support column 2 is greater than that of the rotating shaft 11 , so that the rotating shaft 11 has enough space to move up and down.

[0035] The two ends of the spring 4 are respectively connected to the top of the support plate 3 and the bottom of the foot pedal 5 to prevent the foot pedal 5 from rotating.

[0036] At least two telescopic rods are vertically fixed to the bottom of the footrest 5. Third through-holes, extending vertically and horizontally, are defined in the support plate 3 at the lower ends of the corresponding telescopic rods. The lower ends of the telescopic rods are independently inserted into these third through-holes. In this embodiment, there are two telescopic rods, one on each side of the rotating shaft 11. During use, the telescopic rods slide up and down along the third through-holes, preventing the footrest 5 from rotating.

[0037] In actual use:

[0038] The patient steps on the massage disc 6 and the foot pedal 5, and the massage disc 6 rotates under the action of the spiral blades 10 and the spiral grooves 12. The foot pedal 5 and the massage disc 6 are independent of each other. During the rotation of the massage disc 6, the foot pedal 5 only moves up and down. When the foot pedal 5 reaches the limit of downward movement, the patient's foot is lifted, and the foot pedal 5 is reset upward under the action of the spring 4. At the same time, the massage disc 6 is also driven upward by the foot pedal 5. Due to the cooperation of the spiral blades 10 and the spiral grooves 12, the massage disc 6 will continue to rotate during the upward movement. In this way, the method of driving the massage disc 6 to rotate by stepping on it can achieve the purpose of more energy saving compared to electric drive. At the same time, the patient's own force combined with the massage disc 6 massage method can be more conducive to promoting blood circulation in the patient's feet and preventing the occurrence of foot vascular diseases.
