[0022] 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.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an ankle pump exercise device, comprising: a pad 1, with an exercise mechanism 2 at one end of the pad 1, the exercise mechanism 2 including two placement blocks 21, a vertical rod 22 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the placement block 21, a threaded rod 23 sleeved inside the vertical rod 22, a threaded sleeve rod 24 sleeved on the outer surface of the threaded rod 23, the threaded sleeve rod 24 being threadedly connected to the threaded rod 23, the threaded sleeve rod 24 being sleeved inside the vertical rod 22, the threaded sleeve rod 24 being slidably connected to the vertical rod 22, a semi-circular block 25 fixedly connected to one end of the threaded sleeve rod 24, a silicone pad 26 fixedly connected inside the semi-circular block 25, a fixing shaft 27 at the bottom of the placement block 21, the fixing shaft 27 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pad 1. A rotating sleeve 28 is fitted onto the outer surface of the fixed shaft 27, and the rotating sleeve 28 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 27. The rotating sleeve 28 is fixedly connected to the placement block 21. The placement block 21 has an extrusion plate 29 inside, and a threaded post 202 is fitted into the placement block 21. The threaded post 202 is threadedly connected to the placement block 21. A stop bar 201 is provided on one side of the rotating sleeve 28, and the stop bar 201 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pad 1. One end of the threaded post 202 is fitted into the inside of the extrusion plate 29. A limiting piece 203 is provided in the rotating groove opened inside the extrusion plate 29, and the limiting piece 203 is fixedly connected to the threaded post 202. One end of the threaded rod 23 is fixedly connected to a rotating block 204, and the rotating block 204 is placed in the limiting groove opened inside the upright rod 22.

[0025] In this embodiment, by setting a threaded rod 23, which can drive a threaded sleeve rod 24, the threaded sleeve rod 24 can adjust the position of the semicircular block 25 and the silicone pad 26, so that the semicircular block 25 and the silicone pad 26 can be used by more patients. A fixed shaft 27 is set, and the rotating sleeve 28 can rotate around the fixed shaft 27, so that the patient can perform a small range of foot eversion to exercise the ankle and calf muscles. In addition, a compression plate 29 is set, and the compression plate 29 can move with the cooperation of the threaded column 202, so that the compression plate 29 can provide sufficient support for the patient's foot.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, an auxiliary mechanism 3 is provided on the outer side of the placement block 21. The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a fixing rod 31, which is fixedly connected to the pad 1. An elastic band 32 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing rod 31 and is fixedly connected to the placement block 21. A connecting block 33 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the placement block 21. A rotating ring 34 is sleeved inside the connecting block 33 and is rotatably connected to the connecting block 33. A fixing strap 35 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the placement block 21. A Velcro barbed surface 36 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing strap 35, and a Velcro velvet surface 37 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixing strap 35.

[0028] In this embodiment, the elastic band 32 provides resistance to the rotation of the placement block 21, thereby improving the patient's exercise effect and resetting the placement block 21, allowing the patient to perform continuous exercise. The stop bar 201 works in conjunction with the elastic band 32 to prevent the elastic band 32 from resetting the placement block 21 beyond its range, thus avoiding injury to the patient's foot.

[0029] Working principle:

[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, when using this invention, if the patient needs to perform ankle pump exercises by swinging both feet outwards, the feet can be placed and fixed first. The feet are placed in the placement block 21, and then the positions of the semicircular block 25 and the silicone pad 26 are adjusted. First, the threaded rod 23 is rotated, which drives the threaded sleeve 24, allowing it to rise and fall until the semicircular block 25 and the silicone pad 26 are in suitable positions, and the patient's ankle is placed in the semicircular block 25 and protected by the silicone pad 26. After maintaining foot stability, the threaded column 202 is rotated. The threaded column 202 rotates and moves with the cooperation of the placement block 21, causing the limiting plate 203 to rotate inside the extrusion plate 29, thereby pushing the extrusion plate 29. 29 can fit snugly against the patient's foot, providing support. Finally, the Velcro 36 is passed through the rotating ring 34, and the fixing band 35 is gradually tightened, so that the fixing band 35 and the compression plate 29 can work together to fix the patient's foot. At the same time, the ankle is always placed inside the semicircular block 25. At this time, the ankle pump exercise of swinging the feet outward can be performed. The patient slowly swings the feet outward. At the same time, the placement block 21 will drive the rotating sleeve block 28 to rotate around the fixing axis 27, and the placement block 21 will stretch the elastic band 32, so that the elastic band 32 generates elastic force. When the foot can no longer turn outward, the foot can be pulled back. At this time, the elastic force of the elastic band 32 will be released, and the placement block 21 will be reset. The rotating sleeve block 28 will maintain its original state under the obstruction of the stop bar 201.

[0031] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
