Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an ankle pump exercise training device. Background Technology

[0002] Ankle pump exercises are simple lower limb movements that promote blood circulation and lymphatic drainage in the lower limbs by actively contracting the calf muscles. This increases blood perfusion in the lower limbs, reduces leg swelling, and ultimately helps prevent deep vein thrombosis.

[0003] Common ankle pump exercises are divided into two sets of movements: flexion-extension and rotation. The ankle pump involves dorsiflexion, toe flexion, and rotation of the foot around the ankle axis. Combining these two sets of movements forms the ankle pump exercise. However, in practice, most ankle pump assistive devices used for patient rehabilitation training are bulky and inconvenient to wear. Furthermore, the range of motion of these devices is limited, allowing only flexion-extension movements, which prevents patients from receiving comprehensive rehabilitation training. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an ankle pump exercise training device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model proposes an ankle pump exercise training device, including a leg strap, a foot strap, and a spring pull cable device. The leg strap is worn on the human leg, and the foot strap is worn on the human foot. The spring pull cable device includes a pull cable device body fixed to the leg strap and a pull rope connected to the pull cable device body. The end of the pull rope away from the pull cable device body is connected to the foot strap.

[0006] The puller body has a display screen on its exterior and a displacement sensor inside. The displacement sensor is triggered when the patient pulls the pull rope to the standard position by performing ankle pumping motions, thereby increasing the number of training sessions displayed on the screen.

[0007] Furthermore, in the ankle pump exercise training device, the main body of the cable puller includes a housing and a turntable rotatably disposed within the housing. The pull rope is connected to the turntable, and a first fixing post is provided on the end face of the turntable. A second fixing post is provided on the housing opposite to the first fixing post, and a resistance spring is connected between the first fixing post and the second fixing post.

[0008] Furthermore, in the ankle pump exercise training device, the displacement sensor includes a magnetic component and a Hall element. The magnetic component is fixed to the periphery of the turntable, and the Hall element is disposed on the outer shell and located on the movement trajectory of the magnetic component.

[0009] Furthermore, in the ankle pump exercise training device, the periphery of the turntable protrudes outward to form a protrusion, and a limiting post is provided on the outer shell, the limiting post being located on the movement trajectory of the protrusion.

[0010] Furthermore, in the ankle pump exercise training device, the leg strap includes a strap body, a hook and loop fastener at one end of the strap body, and a loop fastener at the other end of the strap body. The hook and loop fastener cooperate with the loop fastener to enable the leg strap to be worn on the human leg.

[0011] Furthermore, in the ankle pump exercise training device, the leg strap has an opening and a metal ring disposed in the opening, and the pull rope passes through the metal ring to connect to the foot strap.

[0012] Furthermore, in the ankle pump exercise training device, a buckle is connected to the foot strap, and the end of the pull rope away from the main body of the puller is connected to the buckle via a safety buckle.

[0013] Furthermore, in the ankle pump exercise training device, the surface of the pull rope is provided with a plurality of buckle holes along the length direction, and the safety buckle passes through the buckle ring and connects to one of the buckle holes.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. With the design of leg and foot straps, it is lighter and easier to wear than traditional ankle pump assistive devices. This not only improves the user experience for patients, but also makes the device more widely used in rehabilitation training, especially suitable for use in different environments such as home or rehabilitation center.

[0016] 2. The flexibility of the rope allows the foot to move in a wider range of motion, including flexion and extension movements as well as circumduction movements, which helps patients achieve more comprehensive rehabilitation training and promotes blood circulation and lymphatic drainage in the lower limbs.

[0017] 3. When the patient's foot movement reaches the correct position, the magnetic component triggers the Hall element, and the training count on the display screen increases by one. This instant feedback mechanism helps patients and rehabilitation therapists accurately understand the training progress and effect, ensuring the effectiveness of rehabilitation training.

[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more complete description will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Several embodiments of this utility model are shown in the drawings. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this utility model will be more thorough and complete.

[0027] It should be noted that when a component is said to be "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intervening component. When a component is said to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intervening component. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 5The ankle pump exercise training device of this utility model includes a leg strap 10, a foot strap 20, and a spring pull cable 30. The leg strap 10 is worn on the human leg, and the foot strap 20 is worn on the human foot. The spring pull cable 30 includes a pull cable body 31 fixed on the leg strap 10 and a pull rope 32 connected to the pull cable body 31. One end of the pull rope 32 away from the pull cable body 31 is connected to the foot strap 20.

[0030] The pull cord body 31 is equipped with a display screen 33 on its exterior and a Hall element 42 inside. The pull cord 32 is equipped with a magnetic element 41. When the patient performs ankle pumping movements to pull the pull cord 32 to the standard position, the magnetic element 41 approaches and triggers the Hall element 42, thereby increasing the number of training sessions displayed on the display screen 33 by one.

[0031] The design of the leg strap 10 and foot strap 20 makes it lighter and easier to wear compared to traditional ankle pump assistive devices. This not only improves the patient's user experience but also broadens the device's practical application in rehabilitation training, making it particularly suitable for use in various environments such as home or rehabilitation centers. Secondly, the flexibility of the drawstring 32 allows for a wider range of foot movement, including flexion-extension and circumduction movements, which helps patients achieve more comprehensive rehabilitation training and promotes lower limb blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.

[0032] See Figure 4 The main body 31 of the pull cord device includes a housing 311 and a turntable 312 rotatably disposed within the housing 311. The pull cord 32 connects to the turntable 312. A first fixing post 313 is provided on the end face of the turntable 312. A second fixing post 314 opposite to the first fixing post 313 is provided on the housing 311. A resistance spring 315 connects the first fixing post 313 and the second fixing post 314. Specifically, in this embodiment, the housing 311 is composed of two symmetrically arranged half-shells joined together. The housing 311 has an overall circular structure. Under normal conditions, the first fixing post 313 and the second fixing post 314 are at the same horizontal line under the tension of the spring. When the patient performs ankle pump exercises, the turntable 312 is pulled and rotated by the pull cord 32. At this time, the resistance spring 315 is stretched to apply resistance, thereby achieving the purpose of rehabilitation training.

[0033] Continue reading Figure 4The displacement sensor includes a magnetic component 41 and a Hall element 42. The magnetic component 41 is fixed to the periphery of the turntable 312, and the Hall element 42 is disposed on the housing 311 and located on the movement trajectory of the magnetic component 41. Understandably, when the patient performs ankle pump exercises, pulling the rope 32 to the designated position, the turntable 312 drives the magnetic component 41 to rotate, causing the magnetic component 41 to approach and trigger the Hall element 42, sending a pulse signal. This increments the training count on the display screen 33. Conversely, if the movement is not performed correctly, no count is recorded. This instant feedback mechanism helps patients and rehabilitation therapists accurately understand the training progress and effectiveness, while also ensuring the effectiveness of rehabilitation training.

[0034] Furthermore, a protrusion 51 protrudes outward from the periphery of the turntable 312, and a limiting post 52 is provided on the outer shell 311, with the limiting post 52 positioned along the movement trajectory of the protrusion 51. Understandably, the cooperation between the limiting post 52 and the protrusion 51 regulates the extreme angle of rotation of the turntable 312, ensuring that the amplitude and force of each ankle pump exercise are controlled within a safe and effective range. This not only prevents injury caused by overexertion but also ensures the effectiveness of the training.

[0035] When the protrusion 51 abuts against the limiting post 52, the magnetic component 41 triggers the Hall element 42. The specific positions of the Hall element 42 and the limiting post 52 can be set according to actual needs. Figure 4 The schemes shown are merely examples and not limitations.

[0036] See Figure 2 The leg strap 10 includes a strap body 11, a hook and loop fastener 12 at one end of the strap body 11, and a loop fastener 13 at the other end of the strap body 11. The hook and loop fastener 12 cooperates with the loop fastener 13 to enable the leg strap 10 to be worn on the human leg.

[0037] Additionally, it should be noted that in this embodiment, the structure of the foot strap 20 is the same as that of the leg strap 10, so it will not be described again. For details, please refer to the above description of the structure of the leg strap 10.

[0038] Furthermore, the leg strap 10 has an opening and a metal ring 14 disposed within the opening. The pull rope 32 passes through the metal ring 14 and connects to the foot strap 20. Understandably, the pull rope 32 passing through the metal ring 14 and connecting to the foot strap 20 allows for precise control of the pull rope 32's movement path, ensuring that the pull rope 32 maintains a straight line or a specific curved trajectory during training, avoiding poor training results caused by the pull rope 32 swinging or twisting arbitrarily. Secondly, the surface of the metal ring 14 is smooth and wear-resistant, which greatly reduces the friction generated when the pull rope 32 passes through it.

[0039] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 A buckle 21 is connected to the foot strap 20, and the end of the pull rope 32 away from the puller body 31 is connected to the buckle 21 via a safety buckle 321. Therefore, in this embodiment, the pull rope 32 and the foot strap 20 are detachably connected. The patient can put on the leg strap 10 and the foot strap 20 separately, and then connect the pull rope 32 to the foot strap 20, providing convenience for the patient.

[0040] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The surface of the pull cord 32 has multiple buckle holes 322 along its length, and the safety buckle 321 passes through the buckle ring 21 and connects to one of the buckle holes 322. It can be understood that this connection method, compared to directly connecting the buckle ring 21 via the safety buckle 321, allows for adjustment of the pull cord 32 length by selecting different buckle holes 322 to connect to the safety buckle 321. This adapts to different patients' foot shapes and prevents the pull cord 32 from becoming too loose after wearing, thus ensuring a better training effect for the patient.

[0041] See Figure 2 The main body 31 of the pull cord device is equipped with a power button 61 and a reset button 62. The power button 61 is used to illuminate the display screen 33, and the reset button 62 is used to clear the count on the display screen 33. Specifically, when using this device, the patient first attaches the foot strap 20 to the half of the instep near the toes, with the foot lying naturally flat. Then, the calf strap is installed. Finally, the pull cord 32 is connected to the foot strap 20, and the length of the pull cord 32 is adjusted. Then, the power button 61 is pressed, and the device begins counting. When the pull cord 32 moves 2.5–5 cm, the device displays one count. To restart the count, press the reset button 62. After completing the exercise, press the power button 61 again to end the count and loosen the straps.

[0042] In summary, the ankle pump exercise training device described in the above embodiments of this utility model, through the design of the leg strap 10 and foot strap 20, is lighter and easier to wear than traditional ankle pump assistive devices. This not only improves the user experience for patients but also makes the device more widely applicable in rehabilitation training, especially suitable for use in different environments such as home or rehabilitation centers. Secondly, the flexibility of the pull rope 32 allows the foot to move within a wider range, including flexion and extension movements as well as circumduction movements, which helps patients achieve more comprehensive rehabilitation training and promotes lower limb blood circulation and lymphatic drainage.
