[0004] This patent allows for simple and convenient home-based ankle rehabilitation exercises, with low cost and wide applicability. However, due to its overall height, it is inconvenient for patients to perform rehabilitation activities while lying in bed. In addition, most of its structures are fixed, and the entire device cannot be folded and stored after use. Although it can be used for home rehabilitation, it still takes up a lot of space when stored, which is inconvenient. In view of this, we propose an ankle rehabilitation device with adjustable inclination. Utility Model Content

[0025] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6This utility model provides a technical solution: an ankle joint rehabilitation device with adjustable inclination, including a leg support frame 1. The leg support frame 1 is U-shaped and consists of two vertical plates and one horizontal plate. A rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected between the two vertical plates of the leg support frame 1. The upper surface of the horizontal plate of the leg support frame 1 has a movable groove 3 extending to its lower surface. A connecting sleeve 4 is rotatably fitted on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 2. The upper surface of the connecting sleeve 4 extends through the movable groove 3 to the upper surface of the horizontal plate of the leg support frame 1. A foot support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting sleeve 4. An elastic band 6 is provided on the foot support plate 5. The rear surface of the foot support plate 5 has... The leg support 1 has an arc-shaped clearance groove 7. The lower surfaces of the two vertical plates of the leg support 1 are rotatably connected to stabilizing plates 8. An ankle joint movable component is provided on the lower surface of the leg support 1. The arc-shaped clearance groove 7 prevents the foot placement plate 5 from contacting the structure of the lower surface of the horizontal plate of the leg support 1. The U-shaped design of the leg support 1 itself provides space for the rotation and storage of the foot placement plate 5. After storage, the two stabilizing plates 8 can be rotated to make them contact each other, so that the whole device presents a regular cuboid shape. This makes it easy for users to store the whole device and avoids the possibility of taking up too much space or being accidentally bumped due to its large size or irregular appearance.

[0027] Furthermore, the ankle joint mobility assembly includes a mounting plate 9, which is slidably connected to the lower surface of the leg support frame 1. A forward / reverse motor 10 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the mounting plate 9, and a first bevel gear 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the forward / reverse motor 10. A second bevel gear 12 is sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 2, and the first bevel gear 11 and the second bevel gear 12 are meshed together. A threaded sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the mounting plate 9, and a limit groove 14 is formed on the lower surface of the leg support frame 1. The upper surface of sleeve 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 14. An mounting sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the horizontal plate of the leg support frame 1. A threaded rod 16 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting sleeve 15. The front and rear sections of the threaded rod 16 extend out of the left and right sides of the mounting sleeve 15, respectively. The threaded sleeve 13 is threaded onto the outer surface of the threaded rod 16. A first angle limiting groove 17 is formed on the right side surface of the right vertical plate of the leg support frame 1. A second angle limiting groove 18 is formed on the inner wall of the first angle limiting groove 17. The inner wall of 8 is provided with a third angle limiting groove 19. The right end of the rotating shaft 2 rotates through the right surface of the right vertical plate of the leg placement bracket 1. The right end of the rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 20. A second threaded rod 21 is provided at an off-center position on the right surface of the mounting plate 20. The left end of the second threaded rod 21 is threaded through the right surface of the mounting plate 20. The right end of the second threaded rod 21 extends into the interior of the first angle limiting groove 17. The first bevel gear 11 is driven to rotate by the forward and reverse motor 10. After the first bevel gear 11 rotates, it rotates in the same direction as the first bevel gear 11. The first bevel gear 11 and the second bevel gear 12 drive the rotating shaft 2 to rotate within a small range, which can drive the patient's foot to rotate within a small range, thereby moving the ankle joint. When the patient can rotate voluntarily, the first bevel gear 11 and the second bevel gear 12 can be disengaged, thus preventing the forward and reverse motors from hindering the patient's ankle movement. Furthermore, the first angle limiting groove 17, the second angle limiting groove 18 and the third angle limiting groove 19 can be used to limit the rotation angle of the foot placement plate 5, preventing the patient's ankle movement from being too large and causing re-injury.

[0028] In this paper, the first angle limiting groove 17, the second angle limiting groove 18, and the third angle limiting groove 19 are all fan-shaped grooves. The opening angle of the fan-shaped groove of the first angle limiting groove 17 is greater than that of the second angle limiting groove 18, and the opening angle of the second angle limiting groove 18 is greater than that of the third angle limiting groove 19. The forward and reverse motor 10 mentioned in this paper is an existing mature structure that can drive in both directions. It will not be elaborated on further here.

[0029] Working principle: When the footrest 5 needs to be folded and stored to reduce its storage space, the second threaded rod 21 is rotated, causing it to move outward and disengage from the first angle limiting groove 17. At this point, the rotating shaft 2 can rotate at a larger angle. The footrest 5 is then rotated rearward, causing it to retract between the two vertical plates of the leg rest 1. The arc-shaped clearance groove 7 prevents the footrest 5 from contacting the lower surface of the horizontal plate of the leg rest 1. Subsequently, the two stabilizing plates 8 are rotated... The eight-phase contact design results in a neat rectangular shape for easy storage. When a patient's ankle injury is severe and they are unable to move independently, the forward and reverse motor 10 drives the first bevel gear 11 to rotate. The first bevel gear 11, in conjunction with the second bevel gear 12, drives the rotating shaft 2 to reciprocate within a small range, thus allowing the patient's foot to rotate slightly and mobilizing the ankle joint. Once the patient's ankle has recovered and can rotate independently, the second threaded rod 21 can be rotated inwards, allowing the second threaded rod 21 to move further inwards. The threaded rod 16 is inserted into the third angle limiting groove 19 and rotated. Since the threaded rod 16 is rotatably connected inside the mounting sleeve 15, its position cannot be changed. Furthermore, the threaded sleeve 13's movement trajectory is restricted by the limiting groove 14. Therefore, when the threaded rod 16 rotates, it will drive the threaded sleeve 13 to move horizontally. The movement of the threaded sleeve 13 will naturally drive the mounting plate 9 and the forward / reverse motor 10 to move. After the forward / reverse motor 10 moves, it will disengage the first bevel gear 11 from the second bevel gear 12. At this point, the patient can move their ankle joint using their own strength. Simultaneously, the rotation of the rotating shaft 2 is utilized... Driven by the mounting plate 20, the second threaded rod 21 is installed at the eccentric position of the mounting plate 20. Therefore, when the mounting plate 20 rotates, it drives the second threaded rod 21 to perform a circular motion. At this time, the second threaded rod 21 is inside the third angle limiting groove 19. After the second threaded rod 21 rotates a certain angle, it will contact the inner wall of the third angle limiting groove 19. Thus, the second threaded rod 21 indirectly restricts the range of motion of the foot placement plate 5. As the patient gradually recovers, the second threaded rod 21 can be gradually rotated out, thereby successively disengaging from the third angle limiting groove 19 and the second angle limiting groove 18, gradually increasing the range of motion of the ankle.

[0030] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
