Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of shoulder abduction exercise technology, specifically relating to an inflatable mat for shoulder abduction exercises. Background Technology

[0002] As the connecting hub between the upper limbs and the trunk, the shoulder, with its complex and intricate skeletal structure and diverse muscle groups, endows the upper limbs with extensive and flexible movement capabilities. However, changes in modern lifestyles and the accumulation of bad habits have led to a high incidence of injuries such as acute shoulder strain, chronic overuse injury, and rotator cuff tears. These injuries not only cause physical discomfort and limited mobility, but also require patients to frequently move their shoulders to exercise them during the later stages of rehabilitation.

[0003] Currently, when injured individuals perform shoulder abduction exercises, they rely on their own body weight to stimulate muscle contraction. Classic exercises such as standing lateral arm raises and forward arm raises seem simple, but they have many drawbacks. When exercising the shoulder, patients need to raise their shoulders themselves, which is quite difficult. Moreover, the intensity of the exercise is limited by their own body weight. For vulnerable groups (the elderly, patients in the early stages of injury or illness recovery), the load is too heavy, which can easily lead to muscle fatigue, loss of control of movement, aggravate existing shoulder injuries or create new injury risks, thereby weakening the effectiveness of the exercise and increasing the risk of abnormal stress on the joint. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inflatable mat for shoulder abduction exercises to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an inflatable mat for shoulder abduction exercises, comprising:

[0006] An inflatable pad has shoulder straps attached to its surface and a waist belt attached to its surface at the bottom of the shoulder straps. The inflatable pad has an arm groove with three sets of fixing straps for securing the forearms. An inflation assembly is located at the bottom of the inflatable pad to inflate it. A miniature inflation pump in the inflation assembly inflates the air bladder inside the inflatable pad, causing the air bladder to inflate the pad and extend the shoulders outward.

[0007] Preferably, the inflation component includes an air inlet box and an air inlet nozzle. The air inlet box is connected to the bottom of the inflation pad and a miniature inflation pump is located inside the air inlet box. The inflation bladders are provided in a plurality of form and are interconnected.

[0008] Preferably, the air inlet is connected to one of the sets of inflatable bladders, and the air outlet of the micro air pump is connected to the air inlet through a pipe.

[0009] Preferably, the air inlet is provided with an air inlet channel and a partition is provided in the air inlet channel, and air inlets are provided on both sides of the partition.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing rod is provided on the surface of the partition and between the two sets of air inlets, and the bottom of the fixing rod passes through the partition and is connected to the sealing diaphragm.

[0011] Preferably, the inflatable pad has an air outlet shell at the top and an air outlet pipe inside the air outlet shell. One end of the air outlet pipe is connected to one of the inflatable bladders, and a miniature solenoid valve is provided on the surface of the air outlet pipe.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] (1) When performing shoulder abduction exercises, the expansion of the air pad can raise the shoulder and provide additional support. When the air pad is deflated, it shrinks, causing the shoulder to retract. Thus, the function of shoulder abduction can be achieved by inflating and deflating the air pad. The inflation volume of the air pad can be flexibly adjusted to provide personalized support according to the physical condition, shoulder strength and rehabilitation stage of different users. For patients in the early rehabilitation stage or the elderly with weak shoulder strength, the air pad can be inflated to a softer state to provide moderate support and avoid excessive force that could cause shoulder injury. For users in the later rehabilitation stage or with stronger shoulder strength, the inflation volume can be increased to make the air pad harder, so as to provide greater resistance and meet the needs of higher intensity exercises.

[0014] (2) When using an inflatable pad for shoulder abduction exercises, the armpit area is prone to sweating. When the inflatable pad is deflated, air is released through the air outlet tube inside the air outlet shell. The air released from the air outlet shell can be blown into the armpit to ventilate the patient's armpit, which can remove sweat in time, keep the armpit dry, and reduce the discomfort caused by sweat accumulation.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-3 An inflatable mat for shoulder abduction exercises, as shown, includes:

[0021] An inflatable mat 1 is provided. A shoulder strap 2 is connected to the surface of the inflatable mat 1. A waist belt 3 is connected to the surface of the inflatable mat 1 and located at the bottom of the shoulder strap 2. An arm groove 4 is provided on the surface of the inflatable mat 1. Three sets of fixing straps 5 for binding the forearm are provided on the surface of the arm groove 4. The arm groove 4 and the fixing straps 5 can fix the position of the forearm and keep the shoulder stable during exercise. An inflation component is provided at the bottom of the inflatable mat 1 to inflate the inflatable mat 1. The miniature air pump 6 of the inflation component inflates the air bladder 7 filled inside the inflatable mat 1, so that the air bladder 7 drives the inflatable mat 1 to expand and abduct the shoulder.

[0022] The inflation assembly includes an air inlet box 8 and an air inlet 9. The air inlet box 8 is connected to the bottom of the inflation pad 1, and the micro air pump 6 is located inside the air inlet box 8. There are several air bladders 7, and the several air bladders 7 are interconnected.

[0023] The air inlet 9 is connected to one of the sets of inflatable bladders 7, and the air outlet of the micro air pump 6 is connected to the air inlet 9 through a pipe.

[0024] The air inlet 9 is provided with an air inlet channel 10 and a partition 11 is provided in the air inlet channel 10. Air inlets 12 are provided on both sides of the partition 11.

[0025] A fixing rod 13 is provided on the surface of the partition 11 and between the two sets of air inlets 12. The bottom of the fixing rod 13 passes through the partition 11 and is connected to the sealing diaphragm 14. The sealing diaphragm 14 can seal the air inlet 12 to prevent gas from leaking from the air inlet 9 when inflation stops.

[0026] The inflatable pad 1 has an air outlet shell 16 at the top and an air outlet pipe 17 inside the air outlet shell 16. One end of the air outlet pipe 17 is connected to one of the inflatable bladders 7, and a miniature solenoid valve 15 is provided on the surface of the air outlet pipe 17. When the inflatable pad 1 deflates, the miniature solenoid valve 15 is opened, allowing the gas in the inflatable bladder 7 to be discharged into the air outlet shell 16 through the air outlet pipe 17. The gas discharged from the air outlet shell 16 can be blown into the armpit to ventilate the patient's armpit, which can remove sweat in time and keep the armpit dry.

[0027] This inflatable pad for shoulder abduction exercises works by placing shoulder straps 2 around the patient's shoulders and waist belts 3 around the patient's waist. The patient's forearm is secured by fixing straps 5 at arm grooves 4, with the straps 5 fastened together using Velcro. A miniature air pump 6 is then activated, delivering air through a pipe to the air inlet 9. The air inlet 9 contains an air intake channel 10 with a partition 11. Air inlets 12 are located on both sides of the partition 11. When air enters through the air inlets 12, the air pressure pushes the sealing diaphragm 14 away from the air inlets 12, allowing air to smoothly pass through the air intake channel 10 and enter the inflatable bladder 7. Several inflatable bladders 7 are interconnected, and the incoming air causes the bladder to inflate. As the airbag 7 inflates, the air cushion 1 also expands, providing support for the shoulder. The expansion of the air cushion 1 elevates the shoulder, providing upward support. This support helps the user perform shoulder abduction movements more easily and reduces the burden on the shoulder muscles. When deflation occurs, the micro solenoid valve 15 on the air outlet pipe 17 inside the air outlet shell 16 is controlled to open the air outlet pipe 17. Under its own pressure, the gas inside the airbag 7 is discharged into the air outlet shell 16 through the air outlet pipe 17. As the gas is discharged, the air cushion 1 gradually shrinks, causing the abducted shoulder to retract. This operation is repeated to achieve the function of inflating and deflating to abduct and retract the shoulder.

[0028] Furthermore, when the miniature air pump 6 stops inflating, the gas inside the air bladder 7 pushes the sealing diaphragm 14 to move closer to the air inlet 12, thereby sealing the air inlet 12 with the sealing diaphragm 14 and preventing gas from leaking from the air inlet 9 when inflation stops.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
