Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an ankle pump exercise assistive device. Background Technology
[0002] Ankle pump exercises refer to activities in which patients actively flex and extend their ankle joints to accelerate blood circulation in the lower limbs. This type of activity is very important for patients who need to be bedridden for a long time or have high-risk factors for barotraumatic deep vein thrombosis. It can help patients train their ankle joints while in bed. During the flexion and extension of the ankle joint, the related muscles of the calf and thigh will continuously contract and relax. Continuing to perform this type of activity can help patients recover quickly in their lower limbs.
[0003] When using the above technology, the following technical problems were found in the existing technology: the existing ankle pump exercise device is not convenient to limit the range of motion, which can easily lead to excessive bending of the foot and cause secondary injury. Therefore, an ankle pump exercise assistive tool is designed to provide another technical solution to the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0028] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0029] Reference Figures 1-7An ankle pump exercise aid includes a fixed plate 1, with support plates 2 fixed at both ends of the fixed plate 1. Limiting holes 6 are evenly distributed inside the two support plates 2, so that the multiple limiting holes 6 can be formed in a ring around the center of the support plate 2. A support plate 5 is rotatably connected to one end of the top of the fixed plate 1 and located between the two support plates 2, so that the support plate 5 can be rotated at one end on the top of the fixed plate 1 to adjust its position between the two support plates 2. A support pad 3 is fixed to the other end of the top of the fixed plate 1 and located between the two support plates 2, thereby supporting the sole of the foot through the support pad 3 and providing protection through the elasticity of the support pad 3. The support pad 3 can be one of silicone pad, sponge pad, rubber pad, etc.
[0030] Preferably, a connecting block 4 is fixed to the middle of the top of the fixed plate 1, and the outer side of the connecting block 4 is rotatably connected to the support plate 5, so that the support plate 5 can rotate between the two support plates 2 with the rotatable connection position with the connecting block 4 as the center.
[0031] In this embodiment, the included angle between two adjacent limiting holes 6 in the same support plate 2 is 10 degrees of the limiting annular groove. In other embodiments, the included angle between two adjacent limiting holes 6 in the same support plate 2 can be changed according to the degree of limitation of the specific stroke.
[0032] A limiting mechanism for restricting the flexion stroke of the foot is installed between the two support plates 2. The limiting mechanism consists of a support member and a limiting member. The support member is slidably connected to the limiting hole 6, allowing the support member to slide into the two corresponding limiting holes 6. The bottom of the support plate 5 is supported by one support member, allowing the support plate 5 to support the patient's foot by adjusting between the two support plates 2. The forward flexion stroke of the foot is limited by another support member located between the two support plates 2 at the end away from the support plate 5, which can remind the patient that the maximum flexion stroke has been reached. Both ends of the support member are provided with limiting members to prevent detachment from the support plate 2, thus allowing the limiting mechanism to be installed between the two support plates 2.
[0033] Preferably, the support member is a double-threaded rod 7, which is slidably connected to the limiting hole 6, so that the double-threaded rod 7 can slide into the interior of the limiting hole 6. The limiting member is a nut 8, and the outer sides of both ends of the double-threaded rod 7 are threaded with nuts 8, thereby preventing the double-threaded rod 7 from detaching from the support plate 2.
[0034] The support member is a support rod 9, which is slidably connected to the limiting hole 6, allowing the support rod 9 to slide into the interior of the limiting hole 6. Limiting annular grooves 10 are formed inside both ends of the support rod 9. The limiting member consists of a first semicircular limiting plate 12, a second semicircular limiting plate 13, a semicircular locking plate 14, a guide post 15, and a compression spring 16. The top of the first semicircular limiting plate 12 is provided with the second semicircular limiting plate 13, and the first semicircular limiting plate 12 and the second semicircular limiting plate 13 are symmetrically arranged. The interior of the top of the first semicircular limiting plate 12 and the interior of the bottom of the second semicircular limiting plate 13 are both fixed with semicircular locking plates 14. The semicircular locking plates 14 are slidably connected to the limiting annular grooves 10, so that the first semicircular limiting plate 12 and the second semicircular limiting plate 13 are located outside the support rod 9. When the semicircular locking plate 14 is located inside the limiting annular grooves 10, the first semicircular limiting plate 12 and the second semicircular limiting plate 13 cannot be detached from the support rod 9 by sliding.
[0035] Guide posts 15 are fixed at the top of both ends of the first semicircular limiting plate 12. The guide posts 15 are slidably connected to the second semicircular limiting plate 13, so that the second semicircular limiting plate 13 can be raised and lowered at the top of the first semicircular limiting plate 12 by the guidance of the guide posts 15, or the first semicircular limiting plate 12 and the second semicircular limiting plate 13 can move away from each other by the guidance of the guide posts 15. A compression spring 16 is sleeved on the outside of the guide posts 15. The bottom of the compression spring 16 is fixed to the second semicircular limiting plate 13, and the top of the compression spring 16 is fixed to the guide posts 15, so that when the first semicircular limiting plate 12 and the second semicircular limiting plate 13 move away from each other, the second semicircular limiting plate 13 drives the compression spring 16 to compress on the outside of the guide posts 15.
[0036] Preferably, both ends of the support rod 9 are provided with guide slopes 11, and the minimum position of the guide slopes 11 is less than the distance between the two semicircular retaining plates 14. This allows the first semicircular retaining plate 12 and the second semicircular retaining plate 13 to be fitted onto the outside of the support rod 9. The inclination of the guide slopes 11 causes the first semicircular retaining plate 12 and the second semicircular retaining plate 13 to move away from each other through the contact between the semicircular retaining plate 14 and the guide slopes 11. This causes the second semicircular retaining plate 13 to compress the compression spring 16 on the outside of the guide post 15. When the semicircular retaining plate 14 is inside the limiting annular groove 10, the rebound of the compression spring 16 causes the first semicircular retaining plate 12 and the second semicircular retaining plate 13 to move closer together.
[0037] The usage process of the ankle pump exercise assistive tool provided by this utility model is as follows: When using it, place the patient's foot on the top of the support pad 3, then bend the patient's foot. After determining the backward bending angle of the foot, adjust the support plate 5 by rotating it with the fixed plate 1 so that the support plate 5 supports the patient's foot. Then, install the support member between the two support plates 2 and at the bottom of the support plate 5 for positioning, and connect the support member with the limiting member. Then, bend the patient's foot forward. After determining the forward bending angle of the foot, limit the forward stroke again with the support member and the limiting member. Then, let the patient's foot bend between the two support plates 2, and bend it with the stroke limited by the support member and the limiting member.
