Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of exercise equipment technology, specifically relating to an upper ankle pump exercise machine. Background Technology
[0002] Ankle pump exercises are designed for patients who have long lacked lower body exercise. They involve using external force to make the foot flex, extend, and rotate around the ankle joint, aiming to promote blood circulation in the lower limbs and prevent deep vein thrombosis.
[0003] Current ankle pump exercise machines mostly support the patient's foot from below. When using them, the patient's leg needs to be moved aside first, then placed on the machine, and then the patient's foot is placed in the machine. At this time, the patient's foot is raised, which is not conducive to accelerating blood flow in the foot. Therefore, this application proposes an upper ankle pump exercise machine.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments implemented by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] Example
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an upper ankle pump exercise machine, including: a bed clamp 100 with an adjustable suspension rod 200 mounted on it; and a pump cover 300 mounted on the adjustable suspension rod 200, combined with... Figure 2 The pump housing 300 is provided with a toothed ring 310; the drive motor 400 is provided inside the pump housing 300 and is connected to the foot sleeve assembly 500 for transmission, so that it rotates along the toothed ring 310, so that the foot clamped by the foot sleeve assembly 500 which is lowered by the adjusting rod 200 rotates on the bed surface with the drive motor 400 shaft as the center.
[0029] This ankle pump exercise machine can be clamped to the head of the hospital bed using the bed clamp 100. By adjusting the suspension rod 200, the foot sleeve assembly 500 inside the pump cover 300 is lowered until the height is suitable, just enough to clamp the patient's foot on the bed surface. This allows the foot to rotate on the bed surface around the shaft of the drive motor 400. The patient's foot does not need to be raised before the ankle pump exercise can be performed, which is more beneficial for accelerating blood flow in the patient's foot.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the foot cover assembly 500 may include: a sleeve 510, the end face of which is provided with a transmission joint 511 and a gear 512. When the transmission joint 511 is connected to the drive motor 400 through a transmission rod 520, the gear 512 meshes with the gear ring 310. Thus, after the drive motor 400 starts, it drives the sleeve 510. Since the sleeve 510 is meshed with the gear ring 310 through the gear 512, it will rotate while revolving. The revolution will cause the clamped foot to perform an ankle pump movement. The effect of the rotation will be described below. Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the sleeve 510 is provided with a plurality of airbags 530, and the airbags 530 are in a ring shape.
[0031] To prevent the rotation of the sleeve 510 from affecting the clamping of the foot after the airbag 530 is inflated, in at least one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the sleeve 510 is provided with an airbag buckle 513; the airbags 530 are all arranged on the inflation ring 540 and communicate with the inflation ring 540, and the thickness of the airbag 530 is less than the distance between the two buckle ends of the airbag buckle 513, so that the inflation ring 540 can rotate after being fastened into the airbag buckle 513; thus, when the sleeve 510 rotates, the airbag 530 clamping the foot after inflation does not need to rotate relative to the foot, which can ensure the clamping effect; an air nozzle 550 is provided on one airbag 530 for inflation, and the air nozzle 550 can be, but is not limited to, a valve core.
[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a slip ring 560 is slidably disposed on the outer wall of the sleeve 510, and a slip ring sliding locking member 561 is provided on the slip ring 560 so that when the slip ring 560 protrudes from the sleeve opening, it is locked with the sleeve 510 through the non-protruding part; the slip ring 560 has several through holes 562, and when the slip ring 560 protrudes from the sleeve opening, the through holes 562 are located on the part protruding from the sleeve opening to insert a massage head 570. Thus, during the rotation of the sleeve 510, that is, during the ankle pump movement driven by the foot, the rotating sleeve 510 can also massage the foot through the massage head 570, thereby further promoting blood flow in the patient's foot.
[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the outer wall of the sleeve 510 is provided with a slide bar 514, and the slide bar 514 protrudes from the opening of the sleeve; the slip ring 560 has a sliding groove adapted to the slide bar 514.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the through hole 562 is a threaded hole; the massage head 570 may include: a massage stud 571, which is adapted to be screwed into the through hole 562; and a massage cap 572, which is adapted to cover the end of the massage stud 571 that extends into the sleeve 510. By adopting this adjustable structure, it is easy to adjust the height and extension length of the massage head 570, so as to better fit the patient's foot.
[0035] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, in at least one embodiment, the bed clamp 100 may include: a base plate 110, with a base post 120 in the middle of the bottom surface of the base plate 110 and base plate adjustment holes 111 on both sides; an adjustment plate 130, one end of which is connected to two adjustment rods 140, and each adjustment rod 140 has a mating hole 141 adapted to the base plate adjustment hole 111, so that after the mating hole 141 is aligned with the base plate adjustment hole 111, the adjustment plate 130 is fixed to the base plate 110 by adjusting the fixing member 150; a clamping stud 160 is provided on the base post 120, and a clamping plate 170 is sleeved on one end of the clamping stud 160 near the adjustment plate 130.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the adjusting rod 200 may include: a column 210, which is disposed on the base plate 110; a horizontal column 220, one end of which is sleeved on the column 210, and the horizontal column 220 is provided with a horizontal column sliding locking member 221.
[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, the end face of the pump cover 300 is provided with a sliding sleeve 320 that is adapted to the cross column 220, and the sliding sleeve 320 is provided with a pump cover sliding locking member 321.
[0038] In summary, this ankle pump exercise machine can be clamped to the head of the hospital bed using the bed clamp 100. By adjusting the suspension rod 200, the foot sleeve assembly 500 inside the pump cover 300 can be lowered until the height is suitable, just enough to clamp the patient's foot on the bed surface. This allows the foot to rotate on the bed surface around the shaft of the drive motor 400, rotating both around the axis and on its own axis. The patient's foot does not need to be raised before the ankle pump exercise can be performed, and it can also receive a massage, which is more beneficial for accelerating blood flow in the patient's feet.
