[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Existing leg joint exercise devices are generally equipped with elastic pedals, which patients use to actively exercise by repeatedly pressing them. However, for some patients with severe knee injuries who cannot exert enough force, this active exercise method may become extremely difficult, thus affecting their rehabilitation progress.

[0023] To address the deficiencies observed during the use of the aforementioned exercise device, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-6This utility model provides a leg joint exercise device that can switch between active and passive exercise modes according to the patient's knee joint condition. For patients with severe knee injuries, the device can be used for passive exercise, making the exercise process easier. The exercise device uses a base plate 1 as its foundation. A seat 2 is slidably mounted on one side of the top of the base plate 1, and sliding rods 3 are symmetrically mounted on the other side of the top of the base plate 1. An exercise mechanism 4 is mounted on both sliding rods 3. The patient lies on the seat 2 and can exercise through the exercise mechanism 4. The exercise mechanism 4 is configured as two supports 41 symmetrically slidably mounted on the outside of the sliding rods 3. One support 41 has exercise plates 42 rotatably mounted at both ends, and the other support 41 has exercise plates 43 rotatably mounted at both ends. The upper ends of the two exercise plates 43 are rotatably connected to the upper ends of the two exercise plates 42. A driving component 44 is provided on the base plate 1 to drive the two supports 41 to slide in opposite directions. A cavity 5 is also provided on the top of the base plate 1, and a blocking component is installed inside the cavity 5. 6. During passive exercise, the patient's thighs rest on exercise board 1 (42) and their lower legs rest on exercise board 2 (43). The knee joint is located at the connection between exercise board 1 (42) and exercise board 2 (43). The drive component (44) can pull the two supports (41) closer together or further apart, thereby causing exercise board 1 (42) and exercise board 2 (43) to rotate. When exercise board 1 (42) and exercise board 2 (43) rotate downwards, they can lift the patient's knee joint, causing the patient's thighs and lower legs to contract. Conversely, when exercise board 1 (42) and exercise board 2 (43) rotate upwards, they can allow the patient's knee joint to fall naturally, causing the patient's thighs and lower legs to extend. This process can be repeated to exercise the patient's knee joint. Moreover, the patient does not need to actively apply external force during the exercise, which reduces the difficulty of the exercise and is suitable for some patients with severe knee injuries.

[0024] To achieve the function of the driving component 44 on the two supports 41, a motor 441 is installed inside the base plate 1. The output end of the motor 441 passes through the base plate 1 and is fixedly connected to a turntable 442. A connecting rod 443 is symmetrically mounted on the outer edge of the turntable 442. A connecting piece 444 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two supports 41. A plug rod 445 is movably connected inside the connecting rod 443 and the connecting piece 444. A rod cap 446 is threaded to the upper end of the plug rod 445. The driving motor 441 can drive the turntable 442 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 442 pushes or pulls the supports 41 to slide through the connecting rod 443, so as to bring the two supports 41 closer together or separate, thereby achieving the exercise effect.

[0025] For some patients with mild knee injuries who need to exert their own force to achieve the desired exercise effect, the above passive exercise mode is not very effective. To solve this technical problem, springs 7 are fitted at both ends of the slide rod 3, and a support plate 8 is provided on the base plate 1 to support the slide rod 3. The two ends of the springs 7 are fixedly connected to the side of the support 41 and the side of the support plate 8, respectively. By rotating the rod cap 446, the insert rod 445 is removed from the connecting rod 443 and the connecting piece 444, so that the support 41 and the driving component 44 are separated. The patient then steps on the exercise plate 42 and presses the exercise plate 42 to make it rotate, which drives the support 41 to slide. At this time, the springs 7 deform, and the patient can perform active exercise through the reaction force of the springs 7.

[0026] When a patient actively exercises, pressing on the exercise board 42 may cause both supports 41 to slide on the slide bar 3, resulting in instability of the exercise mechanism 4 and affecting the exercise. To solve this technical problem, a baffle 61 is slidably installed in the cavity 5. A spring 62 is installed between the bottom of the baffle 61 and the inner bottom wall of the cavity 5. Grooves 63 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the cavity 5. A stop bar 64 is slidably connected inside the groove 63. A spring 65 is installed between the end of the stop bar 64 and the inner wall of the groove 63. A lever 66 is installed on the top of the stop bar 64. (Refer to...) Figure 4 As shown, the stop bar 64 is pressed against the stop plate 61 by the elastic force of the second spring 65. At this time, the first spring 62 deforms, which does not affect the sliding of the support 41 in the passive exercise mode. In the active exercise mode, pulling the lever 66 causes the stop bar 64 to move away from the upper surface of the stop plate 61. The stop plate 61 can slide upward by the elastic force of the first spring 62. The stop plate 61 blocks the side of one of the supports 41 to prevent the support 41 from sliding. When the patient steps on the exercise plate 42, only one of the supports 41 will slide, which enhances the overall stability of the exercise mechanism 4 and ensures the training effect.

[0027] To make the device suitable for patients of different heights and leg lengths, a seat cushion 21 is slidably mounted on the top of the base plate 1. A backrest 22 is rotatably mounted on one end of the seat cushion 21, and an adjusting bolt 23 is provided on one side of the seat cushion 21 to adjust the angle of the backrest 22. By adjusting the angle of the backrest 22, the patient can easily adjust to a more comfortable posture. In addition, a sliding groove 9 is provided on the base plate 1 for the seat cushion 21 to slide. A lead screw 10 is rotatably mounted inside the sliding groove 9, and the bottom of the seat cushion 21 is threaded onto the outside of the lead screw 10. A second motor 11 is installed at the end of the base plate 1, which drives the lead screw 10 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 10 causes the seat cushion 21 to slide along the sliding groove 9, which can adjust the distance between the seat cushion 21 and the exercise mechanism 4, thereby enhancing the patient's comfort.

[0028] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
