Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of exercise equipment technology, and in particular to an educational rocking wheel. Background Technology
[0002] Upper limb exercises are important in rehabilitation training, promoting children's development, and preventing Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease is generally caused by age-related brain dysfunction, leading to memory loss, mood swings, and other symptoms. Patients with Alzheimer's can engage in mentally stimulating activities to keep their brains active and maintain cognitive function, as well as aerobic exercise to improve brain oxygenation. Upper limb exercises can be achieved through various movements and equipment. Specific movements can strengthen specific muscle groups, such as wrist flexion and extension exercises. Most existing upper limb exercises involve lifting weights, which are unsuitable for the elderly and children. Some devices are designed for rehabilitation patients, such as wheelchair-mounted hand and foot wheels. However, these devices are bulky and only suitable for patients with limited mobility. Furthermore, current wheelchair hand and foot wheels require patients to alternately exert force with both hands simultaneously—one limb exerts force for half a circle, then the other limb continues for half a circle, repeating this cycle. This limits the effectiveness of the exercise and easily leads to fatigue. Utility Model Content
[0003] Based on the above, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an educational rocking wheel that has a simple structure, low cost, is easy to operate, and provides better exercise results while saving effort.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An educational rocking wheel, comprising:
[0006] support;

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment provides a brain-training rocking wheel for use in areas such as preventing Alzheimer's disease in the elderly, brain development training in children, rehabilitation training for patients, and daily exercise. Of course, it can also be applied to other age groups, such as middle-aged people. Users exercise their hands and upper limbs to train their upper limbs and engage their brains, maintaining the vitality of both. Specifically, the brain-training rocking wheel includes a support 1 and a handwheel mechanism 2. The handwheel mechanism 2 is detachably connected to the support 1, for example, by bolts, facilitating storage of the rocking wheel and ensuring its stability during use. Of course, in other embodiments, the handwheel mechanism 2 can also be detachably connected to the support 1 through other structures, such as snap-fit connections.
[0033] The bracket 1 includes a tripod, which is simple in structure, easy to store, and has stable legs. For example, the tripod includes a main rod 11 and a tripod support rod 12 sleeved on the main rod 11. The handwheel mechanism 2 is detachably connected to the top of the main rod 11. The tripod support rod 12 slides along the length of the main rod 11 and is adjustable in position, and is fixed by a set screw, so as to realize the height adjustment of the handwheel mechanism 2 to meet the needs of different users. The tripod support rod 12 has three sub-rods, each of which is adjustable in length, for example, the sub-rods are telescopic rods, so as to further expand the height adjustment range of the handwheel mechanism 2.
[0034] More specifically, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the handwheel mechanism 2 includes a housing 21, a transmission assembly 22, and two handles 23. The transmission assembly 22 includes two main gears 221 rotatably mounted on the housing 21. The two main gears 221 are connected in a transmission manner. When one main gear 221 is subjected to force and rotates, it can drive the other main gear 221 to rotate. Each handle 23 is connected to one main gear 221 through a connecting shaft 24. The axis of the connecting shaft 24 is parallel to or coincides with the rotation axis of the corresponding main gear 221. During exercise, the exerciser holds two handles 23 in each hand. By rotating one handle 23, the transmission component 22 drives the other handle 23 to rotate. This means the exerciser only needs to actively move one upper limb while the other is passively exercised simultaneously. The actively moving upper limb completes a full circle, providing an effective workout and improving results. Furthermore, the exerciser can alternate between active movements of the two upper limbs at intervals, allowing for uninterrupted exercise. For example, to exercise the left brain, the left hand actively moves, simultaneously moving the right hand; conversely, to exercise the right brain, the right hand actively moves, simultaneously moving the left hand. This allows users to tailor their cognitive training to their specific needs. The exercise is effortless and highly effective, and it also allows others to guide the exerciser's movements. For instance, a rehabilitation instructor can rotate one handle 23, causing the patient or trainee holding the other handle 23 to move their arm. Upper limb exercises are beneficial to brain activity. This brain-training rocker has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has a low cost. It can be used to prevent slow reaction in the elderly, promote brain development in children, and provide rehabilitation training for patients.
[0035] In this embodiment, the two main gears 221 mesh, and their rotation axes are parallel. That is, one main gear 221 directly drives the other main gear 221 to rotate. For example, when the exerciser rotates one arm clockwise, the transmission component 22 drives the other arm to rotate counterclockwise, so that both arms can move in opposite directions at the same time.
[0036] In this embodiment, the two main gears 221 have the same size and number of teeth. This means the two main gears 221 rotate at the same speed, resulting in the same frequency of movement for the exerciser's two arms. Of course, in other embodiments, the two main gears 221 can also have different sizes and numbers of teeth, meaning their rotational speeds are different, resulting in different frequencies of movement for the exerciser's two arms. The specific configuration depends on the actual needs.
[0037] In another embodiment, the transmission assembly 22 further includes an intermediate gear meshing between the two main gears 221. When one of the exerciser's hands drives one main gear 221 to rotate, the intermediate gear drives the other main gear 221 to rotate, thus enabling the other hand to move. The transmission through the intermediate gear allows for designs where the two main gears 221 rotate at different speeds and in different directions. For example, the intermediate gear can be used to make one main gear 221 rotate while the other main gear 221 rotates in the same direction, allowing both of the exerciser's arms to move simultaneously in the same direction. It should be noted that the number and type of the intermediate gears are not limited; for example, there can be one, two, or three, and they can be circular gears or bevel gears, etc.
[0038] Furthermore, each handle 23 is detachably connected to a main gear 221 via a connecting shaft 24. This detachable connection of the handles 23 facilitates the storage of the educational rocker wheel. For example, the detachable connection can be achieved through bolts or plug-in connections.
[0039] Preferably, the gear is provided with multiple mounting slots 20 spaced apart along the circumference, and the connecting shaft 24 is inserted into any mounting slot 20. That is, the connecting shaft 24 is connected to different mounting slots 20 to change the installation position of the handle 23 to adapt to different usage needs.
[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 21 has a receiving cavity, and openings 10 communicating with the receiving cavity are respectively opened on two opposite sides of the housing 21. The connection part of each main gear 221 and the handle 23 is exposed through one opening 10. The receiving cavity is used to accommodate the transmission assembly 22, and plays a role in protecting and limiting the movement of the transmission assembly 22. The openings 10 facilitate the installation of the handle 23 and the main gear 221. Moreover, the two openings 10 are opposite to each other, that is, the two handles 23 are located on opposite sides of the housing 21, which conforms to human usage habits. It should be noted that the opposite arrangement of the two handles 23 can be the left and right sides with reference to the housing 21, or the top and bottom sides with reference to the housing 21.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, each handle 23 includes a handle 231 and a grip 232. The handle 231 is fixed to one end of the connecting shaft 24, and one end of the grip 232 is detachably connected to the handle 231. The detachable connection of the grip 232 facilitates storage and also makes it easy to replace damaged grips 232 or grips 232 of different specifications and sizes, providing better flexibility in use.
[0042] More specifically, a connecting seat 233 is provided on the handle 231, and the handle 232 is detachably connected to the connecting seat 233, for example by bolts or plugs.
[0043] Preferably, a plurality of connecting seats 233 are provided at intervals along the length direction of the handle 231. The handle 232 is detachably connected to any of the connecting seats 233 to facilitate adjustment of the position of the handle 232, i.e., adjustment of the distance between the handle 232 and the connecting shaft 24, to meet different usage requirements. For example, the connecting seat 233 has a threaded hole, and one end of the handle 232 has an external thread. The connection between the handle 232 and the connecting seat 233 is achieved by the engagement of the external thread with the threaded hole.
[0044] Note that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
