Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of rehabilitation training equipment, and in particular to a balance function rehabilitation training device. Background Technology

[0002] Balance rehabilitation training devices are important equipment in the field of rehabilitation medicine, widely used in the rehabilitation training of patients with balance disorders caused by various reasons. In recent years, with the increasing awareness of health and the continuous advancement of rehabilitation medicine technology, the design and application of balance rehabilitation training devices have gradually become more diversified and professional. These devices not only help patients restore their balance ability but also effectively prevent falls and other accidents, improving patients' quality of life.

[0003] Existing balance rehabilitation training devices typically utilize hemispheres or other irregularly shaped objects as a support base, achieving balance training by shifting the center of gravity. While these methods can meet the needs of rehabilitation training to some extent, they still have some shortcomings in practical application.

[0004] While using a hemispherical base for support is intuitive and effective, the simple hemispherical design can easily cause patients to lose their balance during training, increasing the difficulty and risk of the exercise. Therefore, a balance rehabilitation training device is needed that can effectively simulate imbalance while ensuring patient safety. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve patient safety during training, this application provides a balance function rehabilitation trainer.

[0006] A balance rehabilitation training device includes a horizontally arranged pedal with a hemisphere at the bottom and the center points of the pedal and the hemisphere located on the same vertical line. Multiple inclined support rods are provided on the circumferential sidewall of the pedal, and one end of each support rod is provided with an anti-slip sleeve. Two handrails are provided on the pedal.

[0007] By employing the aforementioned technical solutions, this balance rehabilitation trainer provides a stable support platform while maintaining flexible movement capabilities. The hemispherical base of the pedals requires users to adjust their center of gravity to maintain balance while standing, effectively strengthening lower limb muscles and improving coordination. Multiple inclined support bars enhance the overall stability of the device, preventing falls due to excessive tilting. The anti-slip design improves safety and avoids the risk of slipping during use. Two handrails provide additional support, contributing to increased safety and comfort during training.

[0008] Preferably, the pedal has a first foot groove and a second foot groove, and the bottom of both the first foot groove and the second foot groove is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the balance rehabilitation trainer is equipped with a first footrest and a second footrest on the pedal, and both footrests have anti-slip textures on their bottoms. This design effectively increases the friction between the user's feet and the pedal, preventing slippage during use and improving safety and stability.

[0010] Preferably, a first spring is provided at one end of the first foot groove, and a second spring is provided at the other end. A first limiting arc plate is provided at the end of the first spring facing away from the side wall of the first foot groove, and a second limiting arc plate is provided at the end of the second spring facing away from the side wall of the first foot groove. The first limiting arc plate and the second limiting arc plate are arranged opposite to each other.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the device, the user first presses the first limiting arc plate with their toes, and then places the entire foot inside the first limiting arc plate. The first and second limiting arc plates are clamped together under the action of the first and second springs, further reducing the possibility of the foot slipping in the first foot groove. In addition, the first and second springs respectively set at both ends of the first foot groove can effectively buffer the impact force generated when the user steps on the device, improving the comfort of use. At the same time, the first and second limiting arc plates are set opposite to each other, which can play a good supporting role when the user performs balance training, preventing the foot from slipping out of the foot groove and enhancing safety.

[0012] Preferably, the pedal is provided with an elastic band that can be placed horizontally in the middle of the first foot groove. One end of the elastic band is connected to the pedal, and the other end is connected to the pedal via a buckle.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the elastic band can effectively fix the user's foot position, preventing safety accidents caused by missteps or slips during training. At the same time, the design of one end of the elastic band connecting to the pedal and the other end connecting to the pedal via a buckle allows the elastic band to be adjusted according to different users' foot shapes, improving comfort and adaptability.

[0014] Preferably, the first limiting arc plate is provided with a guide post, the side wall of the first foot groove is provided with a guide hole for the guide post to be inserted, the first spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide post, and the inner side wall of the first spring is in contact with the outer side wall of the guide post.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the guide post and guide hole ensures the stability of the first limiting arc plate when moving in the predetermined direction, avoids lateral deviation, and improves the safety and reliability of the device. Meanwhile, the first spring is sleeved outside the guide post and fits tightly against it, further enhancing the stability and durability of the spring.

[0016] Preferably, a rubber pad is attached to the side wall of the first limiting arc plate by Velcro.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a rubber pad is adhered to the side wall of the first limiting arc plate, which increases the friction between the user's foot and the first limiting arc plate. At the same time, the rubber pad has a certain cushioning effect, which can reduce the pressure and impact on the foot and improve comfort.

[0018] Preferably, the handrail includes two vertically arranged support cylinders with their openings facing upwards. A limit rod is slidably arranged inside the support cylinder, and the tops of the two limit rods are connected to an arc-shaped rod. A first groove is formed on the limit rod, and a pressing spring is provided in the first groove. One end of the pressing spring is connected to a pressing block. Multiple snap-fit ​​holes are formed along the support cylinder, and one end of the pressing spring is inserted into the snap-fit ​​holes.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, this balance rehabilitation trainer can achieve a height-adjustable handrail design. Specifically, the height of the handrail can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the limiting rod inside the support cylinder to accommodate users of different heights. The design of the pressing spring and pressing block allows the limiting rod to be easily fixed at the required height, ensuring stability during use. The curved rod design conforms to ergonomics and provides a comfortable gripping experience.

[0020] Preferably, the outer sleeve of the arc-shaped rod is provided with a sponge sleeve.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the curved rod outer sleeve is equipped with a sponge sleeve, which can improve the user's grip comfort, reduce the pressure on the hand during long-term use, and increase friction to prevent the hand from slipping.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The design of the hemisphere at the bottom of the pedal and the fact that the center point of the pedal and the hemisphere are on the same vertical line allows the trainer to achieve multi-directional unstable states during use, thereby effectively improving the user's balance and reaction speed.

[0024] 2. The design of multiple support rods and anti-slip sleeves inclined on the circumferential sidewalls enhances the overall stability of the trainer, prevents users from falling due to loss of balance, and improves the safety of use;

[0025] 3. The combined use of the limit rod and the pressing spring in the handrail structure not only makes it easy to adjust the height of the handrail to suit users of different heights, but also increases the ease of operation and improves the user experience. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0032] This application provides a balance function rehabilitation training device, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes a horizontally set pedal 1, a hemisphere 2 at the bottom of the pedal 1, and the center points of the pedal 1 and the hemisphere 2 are located on the same vertical line. Multiple inclined support rods 3 are provided on the circumferential side wall of the pedal 1. One end of the support rod 3 is provided with an anti-slip sleeve 4, which is made of rubber. The pedal 1 is provided with two handrails, which are spaced apart to enhance the safety and comfort of use.

[0033] References, 1 and Figure 2The connection between the hemisphere 2 and the pedal 1 can be secured with bolts or an embedded design to ensure a tight fit and prevent separation or loosening. In this embodiment, there are six support rods 3, evenly distributed around the pedal 1. The angle of each support rod 3 can be adjusted according to the user's height and training needs, generally set between 30 and 45 degrees. The anti-slip sleeves 4 at the ends of the support rods 3 have a textured surface to increase grip.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 Each handrail consists of two vertically arranged support cylinders 5 with their openings facing upwards. A limit rod 6 is slidably installed inside the support cylinder. The tops of the two limit rods 6 on the same handrail are connected to an arc-shaped rod 7. The arc-shaped rod 7 is covered with a sponge sleeve 8, and the operator can maintain balance by holding the arc-shaped rod 7.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The limiting rod 6 has a first groove 9, and a pressing spring 10 is installed in the first groove 9. One end of the pressing spring 10 is connected to a pressing block 11. The support cylinder 5 has multiple locking holes 12 along its height direction. The locking holes 12 are through holes. After pressing the pressing block 11, the limiting rod 6 can move freely up and down. After releasing the pressing block 11, the pressing block 11 will automatically pop out and insert into the corresponding locking hole 12, thereby fixing the height of the limiting rod 6. This design allows the height of the handrail to be flexibly adjusted according to the user's actual situation, accommodating operators of different heights.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The pedal 1 is provided with a first foot groove 13 and a second foot groove 14. The bottom of both the first foot groove 13 and the second foot groove 14 are provided with anti-slip texture 15. In addition, a first spring 16 is provided at one end of the first foot groove 13 and a second spring 17 is provided at the other end. A first limiting arc plate 18 is provided at the end of the first spring 16 facing away from the side wall of the first foot groove 13, and a second limiting arc plate 19 is provided at the end of the second spring 17 facing away from the side wall of the first foot groove 13. The first limiting arc plate 18 and the second limiting arc plate 19 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The first limiting arc plate 18 is provided with a guide post 20, and the side wall of the first foot groove 13 is provided with a guide hole 21 for the guide post 20 to be inserted. The first spring 16 is sleeved on the outside of the guide post 20, and the inner side wall of the first spring 16 is in contact with the outer side wall of the guide post 20. In addition, a rubber pad 22 is attached to the side wall of the first limiting arc plate 18 by Velcro (not shown in the figure).

[0038] The function of the guide post 20 is to ensure that the first spring 16 always moves along a predetermined path during compression and extension, avoiding deviation or twisting. The size of the guide hole 21 should match the guide post 20 to allow the guide post 20 to be smoothly inserted and removed.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first spring 16 is sleeved outside the guide post 20, serving as a buffer and resetting mechanism. The inner and outer walls of the first spring 16 fit tightly together, reducing unnecessary energy loss and improving response speed. This further enhances the stability of the guide post 20.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The width of the first foot groove 13 and the second foot groove 14 are both greater than the width of an average person's foot, and the depth is about 3-5 centimeters. The anti-slip texture 15 set at the bottom of the groove increases the friction with the sole of the shoe and prevents the operator's feet from slipping during practice.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 An elastic band 23 is added to the pedal 1 to cross the middle of the first foot groove 13. One end of the elastic band 23 is connected to the pedal 1, and the other end is connected to the pedal 1 through a buckle 24.

[0042] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: By setting a hemisphere 2 at the bottom of the pedal 1, the instability factor of the trainer is increased, forcing the user to constantly adjust their body posture to maintain balance, thus increasing the training difficulty and effect. The design of the support rod 3 provides necessary support to prevent the user from falling when unbalanced, enhancing the safety of use. When using, the user first presses the first limiting arc plate 18 with their toes, and then places their entire foot inside the first limiting arc plate 18. The first limiting arc plate 18 and the second limiting arc plate 19 are clamped together by the first spring 16 and the second spring 17, further reducing the possibility of the foot slipping in the first foot groove 13. The first spring 16 and the second spring 17 set at both ends of the first foot groove 13 can effectively buffer the impact force generated when the user steps on it, improving the comfort of use. At the same time, the first limiting arc plate 18 and the second limiting arc plate 19 are set opposite to each other, which can play a good supporting role when the user performs balance training, preventing the foot from slipping out of the foot groove and enhancing safety. The height-adjustable design of the handrail makes the trainer suitable for users of various body types and ages, expanding its applicability. Overall, this embodiment solves the problems of poor stability and insufficient safety of existing balance function rehabilitation training devices.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
