A protective door 16 is installed on the protective frame 15 to facilitate patient entry and exit.

[0014] A sensor assembly 17 is mounted on the slider 5. The sensor assembly 17 includes a displacement sensor 18, a velocity sensor 19, and an acceleration sensor 20. Each of the displacement sensor 18, velocity sensor 19, and acceleration sensor 20 is electrically connected to a controller 24. A drive assembly 21 is fixed to the vertical base 3. The drive assembly 21 includes a drive motor 22, a screw 23, and a nut (not shown). Two drive motors 22 are mounted at intervals on the top of the other side surface of the vertical base 3. The output shafts of the two drive motors 22 are respectively fixed to screws 23, each of which is fitted with a nut. The back of the slider 5 is fixed to the two nuts, and the two screws 23 are parallel to each other.

[0015] A control box 26 is fixed to the other side surface of the slide rail fixing column 2, and a controller 24 and a power supply 25 are fixed in the control box 26. The power supply 25 is used to supply power to the displacement sensor 18, the speed sensor 19, the acceleration sensor 20, the drive motor 22 and the controller 24. The drive motor 22 is electrically connected to the controller 24 so that the controller controls the start and pause of the drive motor 22 to drive the seat 6 to move up and down.

[0016] The controller 24 is a host containing a single-chip microcomputer, which adopts an STM32 series single-chip microcomputer. According to the function of each port pin of the STM32 series single-chip microcomputer, each electronic device (displacement sensor 18, speed sensor 19, acceleration sensor 20, drive motor 22) is electrically connected to which specific port pin of the STM32 series single-chip microcomputer is a conventional setting for technicians in this field and is prior art.

[0017] The displacement sensor 18, velocity sensor 19, acceleration sensor 20, drive motor 22 and controller 24 selected in this embodiment according to actual needs are all existing commercial products. No improvements have been made to their structures and they are all existing structures. Therefore, the specific structures, circuit designs and working principles of the displacement sensor 18, velocity sensor 19, acceleration sensor 20, drive motor 22 and controller 24 are all publicly available existing technologies. The specification only uses these electronic devices to achieve certain functions. There is no need to describe in detail the specific structures, circuit designs and working principles of these existing electronic devices, and the entire solution is also clear.

[0018] The procedure for using the liftable vestibular balloon rehabilitation training device is as follows: First, the patient opens the protective door 16, enters the protective frame 15, and sits on the seat 6. The medical staff then fastens the abdominal support belt 8 for the patient. In this embodiment, a control panel can be embedded in the side of the control box 26. The control panel has a touch screen. The medical staff uses the touch screen to set the speed and / or acceleration of the vertical movement, and the drive motor 22 starts to operate according to the settings.

[0019] The controller 24 controls the start of the drive motor 22 based on the set vertical speed, driving the slider 5 to move vertically on the vertical guide rail 4, so that the target rehabilitation trainee on the seat 6 moves vertically accordingly. During the movement, the current displacement detected in real time by the displacement sensor 18 and the current vertical speed detected in real time by the speed sensor 23 are received, and the speed of the drive motor 22 is adjusted based on the current vertical speed so that the detected current vertical movement speed is equal to the target vertical movement speed and maintained. When the current displacement reaches the set displacement, the drive motor 22 is controlled to reverse, driving the slider 5 to move vertically in the opposite direction on the vertical guide rail 4, so that the target rehabilitation trainee on the seat 6 moves vertically in the opposite direction accordingly.

[0020] The controller 24 controls the start of the drive motor 22 based on the set vertical acceleration, driving the slider 5 to move vertically with acceleration on the vertical guide rail 4, so that the target rehabilitation trainee on the seat 6 moves vertically with acceleration. During the movement, the current displacement detected in real time by the displacement sensor 18 and the current vertical acceleration detected in real time by the acceleration sensor 19 are received, and the acceleration of the drive motor 22 is adjusted based on the current vertical acceleration so that the detected current vertical acceleration is equal to the target vertical acceleration and maintained. When the current displacement reaches the set displacement, the drive motor 22 is controlled to reverse, driving the slider 5 to move vertically with acceleration in the reverse direction on the vertical guide rail 4, so that the target rehabilitation trainee on the seat 6 moves vertically with acceleration in the reverse direction.

[0021] In this embodiment, after the drive motor 22 is activated, the seat 6 moves vertically. During this vertical movement, the controller 24 collects signals detected by the sensor assembly 17 and dynamically adjusts the speed or acceleration of the movement, thereby simulating the vertical speed or acceleration changes encountered in daily life. This controllable speed and acceleration change directly stimulates the vestibular saccule, promoting the restoration and enhancement of its neurons' ability to process linear motion information.

[0022] In this embodiment, the device moves up and down at a specific speed or acceleration to simulate the sensory input of vertical speed or acceleration. This precise and controllable vertical acceleration change is used to directly stimulate the vestibular saccule, thereby restoring and enhancing the ability of its neurons to process vertical motion information.

[0023] In addition, this device is specially equipped with protective components and emergency stop buttons to ensure the user's safety in all aspects during the training process, allowing rehabilitation training to be carried out efficiently while also taking into account safety and comfort.

[0024] Although specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art will appreciate that these are merely illustrative and that the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art may make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, and such changes and modifications are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
