[0046] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments, the linkage mechanism 200 comprises a first rod 201, a second rod 202, a third rod 203 and a fourth rod 204, one end of the first rod 201 is hingedly connected with the foot pedal 500, the second rod 202 is rotatably arranged between two ends thereof on the base frame assembly 400, one end of the second rod 202 is hingedly connected with the other end of the first rod 201, one end of the third rod 203 is hingedly connected with the other end of the second rod 202, one end of the fourth rod 204 is rotatably arranged on the base frame assembly 400 and fixedly connected with the swing frame 600, and the other end of the fourth rod 204 is hingedly connected with the other end of the third rod 203.

[0047] Specifically, the first rod 201, the second rod 202, the third rod 203 and the fourth rod 204 are made of high-strength steel or engineering plastic, two ends of the first rod 201 are hingedly connected with the foot pedal 500 and the second rod 202 respectively, two ends of the second rod 202 are hingedly connected with the first rod 201 and the third rod 203 respectively, the second rod 202 is rotatably arranged between two ends thereof on the base frame 401, two ends of the third rod 203 are hingedly connected with the second rod 202 and the fourth rod 204 respectively, one end of the fourth rod 204 is hingedly connected with the third rod 203, and the other end of the fourth rod 204 is fixedly connected with the swing frame 600 and rotatably arranged on the base frame 401 together with the swing frame 600.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the foot pedal 500 slides, the second rod 202 is driven by the first rod 201, the connecting end of the second rod 202 and the first rod 201 rotates around the rotating joint of the second rod 202 and the chassis assembly 400 in the first direction, so that the connecting end of the second rod 202 and the third rod 203 rotates in the first direction; the third rod 203 drives the fourth rod 204 to rotate in the direction opposite to the first direction relative to the connecting end of the fourth rod 204 and the chassis assembly 400, so that the swing frame 600 rotates in the direction opposite to the first direction relative to the connecting end of the fourth rod 204 and the chassis assembly 400.

[0049] Specifically, the first direction is counterclockwise or clockwise.

[0050] When the foot pedal 500 slides towards the control interactive device 404, the second rod 202 is driven by pulling the first rod 201, the connecting end of the second rod 202 and the first rod 201 rotates around the rotating joint of the second rod 202 and the chassis 401 in the clockwise direction, so that the connecting end of the second rod 202 and the third rod 203 rotates in the clockwise direction, the third rod 203 pulls the fourth rod 204 to rotate in the counterclockwise direction relative to the connecting end of the fourth rod 204 and the chassis 401, and then the swing frame 600 fixedly connected to the fourth rod 204 rotates in the counterclockwise direction relative to the connecting end of the fourth rod 204 and the chassis 401.

[0051] Based on the action of the transmission assembly 100 between the two foot pedals 500, the transmission process of the other linkage mechanism 200 connected to the other foot pedal 500 is opposite to the above process, which will not be repeated here, and finally the other swing frame 600 rotates in the clockwise direction relative to the connecting end of the other fourth rod 204 and the chassis 401, so as to achieve the technical effect of four limbs linkage.

[0052] Based on the transmission of the first rod 201, the second rod 202, the third rod 203 and the fourth rod 204, the swing frame 600 and the foot pedal 500 are given greater freedom to perform linkage operations, the swing frame 600 and the foot pedal 500 can change the movement direction at any time based on the training plan of the athlete, and the linkage mechanism 200 cooperates with the transmission assembly 100 to coordinate the linkage of the two swing frames 600 and the two foot pedals 500, so as to drive the limbs that need rehabilitation to move through healthy limbs, or the healthy limbs to move by accommodating the limbs that need rehabilitation, to meet the different rehabilitation needs of different rehabilitation groups and improve the rehabilitation comfort experience.

[0053] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 3In some embodiments, the rotation connection between the second rod 202 and the chassis assembly 400 is located between the two ends of the second rod 202, and is close to the rotation connection between the second rod 202 and the third rod 203.

[0054] Specifically, the rotation connection between the second rod 202 and the chassis 401 is a rotation point around which the two ends of the second rod 202 rotate, and the rotation point is close to the connection end of the second rod 202 and the third rod 203, so that the distance from the connection end of the second rod 202 and the third rod 203 to the rotation point is reduced, the length of the rotating arm is reduced, the rotating range of the connection end of the second rod 202 and the third rod 203 is reduced, and the installation space is saved; on the contrary, the distance from the connection end of the second rod 202 and the first rod 201 to the rotation point is increased, the length of the rotating arm is increased, the rotating range of the connection end of the second rod 202 and the first rod 201 is increased, and the rotating freedom is increased, so that the stroke of the foot pedal 500 can be set longer, and the training needs of athletes to use larger strides for exercise can be met.

[0055] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 1 With Figure 3 In some embodiments, one end of the swing bracket 600 is fixed to the rotation connection between the fourth rod 204 and the chassis assembly 400, and the other end of the swing bracket 600 is bent towards the rotation connection.

[0056] Specifically, one end of the swing bracket 600 is fixed to the rotation connection between the fourth rod 204 and the chassis 401, and when the fourth rod 204 rotates relative to the chassis 401, the swing bracket 600 also rotates relative to the chassis 401; the other end of the swing bracket 600 is bent towards the rotation connection between the fourth rod 204 and the chassis 401, and is used for athletes to grasp the swing bracket 600 for training. Based on the rotation of the swing bracket 600 relative to the chassis 401 under the driving of the fourth rod 204, the curved shape of the swing bracket 600 better conforms to the swing trajectory of the human body during movement, helps athletes to maintain a more natural posture during exercise, reduces the pressure on joints and muscles, and thus reduces the risk of injury.

[0057] At the same time, the swing bracket 600 and the foot pedal 500 are connected through the linkage mechanism 200 of the multi-link structure, and under the condition that the stroke length of the foot pedal 500 is constant, the amplitude of the swing bracket 600 can be reduced, and the comfort of the trainer can be increased.

[0058] In some embodiments, the chassis assembly 400 further comprises two end portions, and the foot pedal 500 slides between the two end portions. After the foot pedal 500 is connected to the swing bracket 600 arranged on one side thereof through the linkage mechanism 200, the two are opposite in the movement direction relative to any end portion during linkage.

[0059] Specifically, the chassis assembly 400 comprises a chassis 401, two ends of the chassis 401 are two end portions of the chassis assembly 400, and two slide rails are arranged on the chassis 401, and the foot pedal 500 is arranged on the slide rails, i.e., the foot pedal 500 is arranged between the two end portions of the chassis 401.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 When the foot pedal 500 slides towards the control interactive device 404, the swing frame 600 arranged on one side of the foot pedal 500 rotates in the counterclockwise direction relative to the connection position of the fourth rod 204 and the chassis 401.

[0061] That is, when the foot pedal 500 slides towards one end of the chassis 401 close to the control interactive device 404, the swing frame 600 moves towards the other end of the chassis 401 away from the control interactive device 404; conversely, when the foot pedal 500 slides towards the other end of the chassis 401 away from the control interactive device 404, the swing frame 600 moves towards the one end of the chassis 401 close to the control interactive device 404. The movement directions of the foot pedal 500 and the swing frame 600 arranged on one side of the foot pedal 500 are opposite relative to any end portion.

[0062] The application provides a linkage mechanism 200, which connects the foot pedal 500 and the corresponding swing frame 600, so that the stride of the foot pedal 500 influences the amplitude of the swing frame 600, or the amplitude of the swing frame 600 influences the stride of the foot pedal 500, thereby enabling the user to freely change the stroke of the foot pedal 500 according to the size of the stride, and simultaneously change the stroke of the swing frame 600 based on the stroke of the foot pedal 500, so as to facilitate the user to use the healthy limb to drive the injured limb for rehabilitation training; the linkage mechanism 200 is used to coordinate the movement directions of the foot pedal 500 and the corresponding swing frame 600, so that they are more suitable for the movement mode of the user and enhance the use experience; the first rod 201, the second rod 202, the third rod 203 and the fourth rod 204 are used to convert the movement direction of the swing frame 600 into the sliding direction of the foot pedal 500, so as to realize the linkage of the swing frame 600 and the foot pedal 500; the rotation connection position of the second rod 202 and the chassis assembly 400 is designed, so as to reduce the rotation range of the connection end of the second rod 202 and the third rod 203, save the installation space, and increase the swing stroke of the end of the second rod 202 close to the first rod 201, thereby increasing the sliding stroke of the foot pedal 500; the swing frame 600 is curved, which facilitates the user to grasp the swing frame 600 and makes the direction of the swing frame 600 more in line with ergonomics. Specific embodiment two

[0064] Reference Figures 1 to 5The application provides a four-limb linkage rehabilitation device, which comprises a chassis assembly 400, a transmission assembly 100 and two linkage mechanisms 200, wherein the two foot pedals 500 are slidably arranged on the chassis assembly 400, and two swing frames 600 are arranged on the two sides of the two foot pedals 500; the transmission assembly 100 is arranged on the chassis assembly 400 and located between the two foot pedals 500, and the transmission assembly 100 is connected with the two foot pedals 500 respectively; when any foot pedal 500 moves in a certain direction, the transmission assembly 100 links the other foot pedal 500 to move in the opposite direction, and the other foot pedal 500 can change direction at any stroke of the foot pedal 500; the linkage mechanism 200 is connected with the foot pedal 500 and the swing frame 600 located on one side of the foot pedal 500 respectively, and when any foot pedal 500 moves in a certain direction, the linkage mechanism 200 links the swing frame 600 located on one side of the foot pedal 500 to swing.

[0078] Referring to the drawings Figure 5 Specifically, if the resistance output shaft gives resistance to the rotating shaft 302 when rotating counterclockwise (A direction), and the second rotating wheel 306 and the third rotating wheel 307 are locked in the clockwise direction on the rotating shaft 302 through the two one-way force transmissions, the two pedals 500 are not subject to resistance when sliding in either direction.
