When the first piston 42 squeezes the water in the water tank 41, the water will enter the moving pipe 47 through the connecting hose 44, and then By moving the position of the second piston 46, when the second piston 46 is located between the first cavity 12 and the second cavity 13, water will flow into the lifting ball 3 in the first cavity 12 through the moving tube 47; when the second piston 46 moves between the second cavity 13 and the third cavity 14, water will flow into the lifting ball 3 in the second cavity 13 through the moving tube 47; when the second piston 46 moves to the side of the third cavity 14 away from the second cavity 13, water will flow into the lifting ball 3 in the third cavity 14 through the moving tube 47, thereby conveniently diverting water to each lifting ball 3, thereby facilitating weighting of the lifting ball 3.

[0022] Working principle: First, the patient blows air into the first cavity 12 through the air inlet 5. The exhaled gas will push the lifting ball 3 in the first cavity 12 to move upward. When the lifting ball 3 moves to the top of the first cavity 12, the gas will enter the second cavity 13 through the connecting part, and then the gas will push the lifting ball 3 in the second cavity 13 to move upward. When the lifting ball 3 moves to the top of the second cavity 13, the gas will enter the third cavity 14 through the connecting part again, and then the gas will push the lifting ball 3 in the third cavity 14 to move upward. The patient can blow the three lifting balls 3 upward in turn, thereby achieving the purpose of exercise, squeezing the water in the weight-increasing part into the lifting ball 3, which can increase the mass of the lifting ball 3. When the mass of the lifting ball 3 increases, the patient needs to exhale with greater force, thereby effectively improving the patient's exercise intensity, so that the patient can exercise more conveniently.
