Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home exercise technology, and in particular to a home-based elderly care exercise assistive device. Background Technology

[0002] Home-based assistive movement devices for the elderly are primarily designed to help seniors maintain their mobility, improve their quality of life, and prevent problems such as falls and muscle atrophy. These devices not only provide necessary support but also encourage physical exercise, helping seniors improve their gait and enhance walking stability and coordination.

[0003] In existing assistive exercise devices for the elderly, most cycling devices rely on rotation to exercise the legs, which does not increase the amount of force exerted on the legs, thus limiting the effectiveness of these devices. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a home-based elderly care exercise assistive device.

[0005] This utility model is achieved by the following technical solution: a home-based elderly care assistive exercise device, including a leg exercise box, wherein a friction adjustment component is provided inside the leg exercise box, and an adjustment component is provided outside the leg exercise box.

[0006] The friction adjustment assembly includes a rotating groove formed on the inner wall of the leg exercise box. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove, and a rotating rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the leg exercise box, extends through the inner wall, and a limit pedal is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod away from the rotating shaft. An adjustment groove is formed on the inner wall of the leg exercise box, and a hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjustment groove away from the rotating shaft. Hydraulic oil is provided on the inner wall of the leg exercise box. The hydraulic oil reservoir has a guide pipe connected to its inner wall. The end of the guide pipe away from the hydraulic oil reservoir is connected to the inner wall of a hydraulic rod. A pressure plate is fixedly connected to the end of the hydraulic rod near the rotating shaft. The outer wall of the pressure plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of an adjusting groove. A pressure push plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hydraulic oil reservoir. A sealing gasket is fixedly connected to the end of the pressure push plate near the hydraulic rod. An adjusting bolt is rotatably connected to the end of the pressure push plate away from the sealing gasket. The outer wall of the adjusting bolt is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the leg exercise box.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, there are two rotating rods, which are symmetrically arranged around the rotation axis; there are two limiting foot pedals; and there are four hydraulic rods, which are evenly arranged around the rotating rods.

[0008] By rotating the adjusting bolt, the adjusting bolt moves inward along the leg exercise box. At the same time, the adjusting bolt compresses the liquid inside the hydraulic oil reservoir and guides it into the liquid guide pipe. The liquid inside the liquid guide pipe pushes the hydraulic rod towards the rotation axis, and the hydraulic rod pushes the pressure plate.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the adjustment component includes a support base, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the leg exercise box. An adjustment block is fixedly connected to the support base, and a T-shaped groove is formed on the inner wall of the adjustment block. A T-shaped slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the T-shaped groove.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the inner wall of the T-shaped slider is threaded with a threaded rod, the outer wall of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the adjusting block, the end of the threaded rod away from the leg exercise box passes through the inner wall of the adjusting block and extends therefrom, and the end of the threaded rod away from the leg exercise box is fixedly connected to the second adjusting block.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the T-shaped slider, a sports seat is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod, a self-adhesive Velcro is fixedly connected to the back of the sports seat, and a balance support rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sports seat.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, a T-shaped groove is provided on the inner wall of the support base, and a T-shaped slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the T-shaped groove. The top of the T-shaped slider is fixedly connected to the bottom of the balance support rod.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above solution, two T-shaped slides are provided, and the two T-shaped slides are symmetrically arranged with the sports seat as the center. Two balance support rods are provided, and the two balance support rods are symmetrically arranged with the adjustment block as the center.

[0014] With the above technical solution, by rotating the second adjusting block, the threaded rod can be rotated, causing the T-shaped slider to slide along the surface of the threaded rod and inside the T-shaped groove. The T-shaped slider drives the connecting rod, which in turn drives the motion seat, thereby adjusting the distance between the motion seat and the limiting foot pedal.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0016] This invention utilizes an adjusting bolt to move it inward along the leg exercise box. Simultaneously, the adjusting bolt compresses the hydraulic oil reservoir, causing the liquid inside to flow into the guide pipe. The liquid inside the guide pipe pushes the hydraulic rod towards the rotating shaft, which in turn pushes the pressure plate, causing it to contact the surface of the rotating shaft. Through the friction between the pressure plate and the rotating shaft, the elderly person can rotate the rotating rod by using a limiting foot pedal. Rotating the rotating shaft requires more effort, allowing for gradual leg exercises. This helps the elderly maintain their mobility, improve their quality of life, and prevent falls and muscle atrophy.

[0017] This invention allows for adjustment of the distance between the exercise seat and the limiting foot pedal, based on the different leg lengths of elderly individuals. By rotating the second adjusting block, the threaded rod is rotated, causing the T-shaped slider to slide along the surface of the threaded rod and inside the T-shaped groove. The T-shaped slider drives the connecting rod, which in turn drives the exercise seat, thereby adjusting the distance between the exercise seat and the limiting foot pedal, increasing the flexibility and practicality of the device.

[0031] There are two rotating rods 203, which are symmetrically arranged around the rotating shaft 202. There are two limiting foot pedals 204. There are four hydraulic rods 206, which are evenly arranged around the rotating rods 203.

[0032] The adjustment component 3 includes a support base 301, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the leg exercise box 1.

[0037] The implementation principle of a home-based elderly care assistive exercise device in this application embodiment is as follows: By rotating the adjusting bolt 211, the adjusting bolt 211 moves inward along the leg exercise box 1. At the same time, the adjusting bolt 211 compresses the liquid inside the hydraulic oil reservoir 207 and guides it into the liquid guide pipe 208. The liquid inside the liquid guide pipe 208 pushes the hydraulic rod 206 towards the rotating shaft 202. Simultaneously, the hydraulic rod 206 pushes the pressure plate 212, causing the pressure plate 212 to contact the surface of the rotating shaft 202. Through the friction between the pressure plate 212 and the rotating shaft 202, the elderly person can rotate the rotating rod 203 by the limiting foot pedal 204. The rotating rod 203 requires more effort to rotate the rotating shaft 202, enabling gradual leg exercises. This helps the elderly person maintain their mobility, improve their quality of life, and prevent falls and muscle atrophy. At the same time, the sealing gasket 210 on the surface of the pressure push plate 209 can protect the hydraulic oil reservoir. The liquid inside 207 acts as a seal to prevent leakage from the hydraulic oil reservoir 207. Depending on the leg length of the elderly person, the adjustment block 312 can be rotated, which in turn rotates the threaded rod 305, causing the T-shaped slider 304 to slide along the surface of the threaded rod 305 and inside the T-shaped groove 303. The T-shaped slider 304 drives the connecting rod 306, which in turn drives the exercise seat 307, thereby adjusting the distance between the exercise seat 307 and the limiting foot pedal 204, increasing the flexibility and practicality of the equipment. Simultaneously, the exercise seat 307 drives the balance support rod 310, which in turn drives the T-shaped slider 311 to slide along the T-shaped groove 309 opened on the support base 301. This ensures the stability of the overall equipment when the elderly person, seated on the exercise seat 307 and secured by the self-adhesive Velcro 308, exercises, guaranteeing their safety during exercise.

[0038] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
