Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical rehabilitation equipment, specifically to an anti-gravity treadmill. Background Technology

[0002] The main structure of the anti-gravity treadmill includes a running platform at the bottom, a pair of uprights on both sides of the platform, handrails on the uprights, and an airbag above the platform. The bottom of the airbag connects to the outer edge of the running platform, and the top of the airbag has an entrance with a straddle strap. The user enters the entrance, straddles the strap, and stands on the running platform with their lower body inside the airbag. An air pump inflates the airbag, causing it to expand upwards and exert a lifting force on the user to counteract gravity. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide an inflatable structure that allows the airbag to act on the user from bottom to top, so as to counteract the user's gravity.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an inflatable structure for an anti-gravity running platform, including an air pump platform fixedly installed on a pair of columns, an air pump installed on the air pump platform, an inflation pipe and an exhaust pipe connected to the air pump located below the air pump platform, an airbag connected to the inflation pipe and the exhaust pipe, both the inflation pipe and the exhaust pipe being equipped with valves, the airbags being distributed below the air pump platform and below the handrails, the columns being provided with triangular supports extending forward from the columns, a front cover being installed on the triangular supports, and the front cover enclosing the front space between the air pump platform and the running platform.

[0005] According to the above technical solution, the user straddles the airbag's entrance, with a seal around the waist to reduce air leakage. The air pump inflates the airbag through the inflation tube. Although the inflation point is at the front of the airbag, due to the restriction of the front cover, the airbag expands backward, that is, towards the user's position. In this way, the user can be effectively lifted to counteract the user's weight.

[0006] The air pump platform is equipped with a filter box and a main control box. The main control unit in the main control box is electrically connected to the air pump, exhaust pipe valve, and inflation pipe valve. Furthermore, the main control unit is wirelessly or wiredly connected to an external control terminal. The air pump's inlet is connected to the filter box. The external control terminal mainly refers to the control buttons located on the armrest and a remote control. Filter material, such as filter cotton, can be placed inside the filter box to filter the outside air before inflating the airbag, ensuring a clean interior. During operation, the user presses the inflation button; under the control of the main control unit, the inflation pipe valve opens, and the air pump operates to inflate the airbag. During deflation, the user presses the deflation button; under the control of the main control unit, the deflation pipe valve opens, and the air pump operates to deflate the airbag. The air pump is connected to three air pipes: one connected to the filter box, one to the inflation pipe, and one to the exhaust pipe.

[0007] The inflation tube is set vertically, and the gas entering the airbag is directed downwards, thus preventing the airflow from being sprayed directly onto the user's lower body.

[0008] The treadmill has pressure strips around its perimeter, with connecting holes on the pressure strips. The connecting holes engage with studs on the perimeter of the treadmill, and the pressure strips press the bottom perimeter of the airbag tightly against the perimeter of the treadmill.

[0009] An airbag fixing frame is installed at the bottom of the handrail. The airbag fixing frame is U-shaped and includes a pair of side rods and a cylindrical rod connecting the pair of side rods. The side rods have a square cross-section. A pair of U-shaped pressure blocks are fixedly installed at the bottom of the handrail. The cylindrical rod is movably fitted into the U-shaped opening of the pair of U-shaped pressure blocks. The pair of side rods are detachably connected to the handrail and connected to the top of the airbag. When the user enters the airbag entrance, the airbag is first lowered. At this time, the pair of side rods detach from the handrail and swing downwards around the cylindrical rod as a rotation axis. After the user enters the airbag entrance, the pair of side rods are then swung upwards, connecting the pair of side rods to the handrail. Afterwards, the airbag inflates, buoying the user.

[0010] The bottom of the handrail is fixedly equipped with Velcro and a retaining clip. The side bar is equipped with Velcro that works in conjunction with the Velcro on the handrail. The retaining clip is U-shaped, and the side bar is positioned within the U-shaped opening of the retaining clip. The Velcro allows for a detachable connection between the side bar and the handrail.

[0011] The inflation structure of this invention places the air intake at the front of the airbag to prevent the inflation air from directly spraying the user. At the same time, it limits the front of the airbag, allowing the rear of the airbag to expand rapidly and float the user. Attached Figure Description
