Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rectus abdominis training, and in particular to a rectus abdominis separation trainer. Background Technology

[0002] Diastasis recti is more common in pregnant women and fitness enthusiasts. The rectus abdominis muscles are usually separated, which means that the separation between the rectus abdominis muscles is too wide and exceeds the normal standard. In order to adjust the rectus abdominis muscles, various training methods are usually required for recovery.

[0003] The conventional rehabilitation exercise is the glute bridge exercise. The training method for the glute bridge is usually to lie on your back, then put your feet on the ground and bring them together. While inhaling, lift your spine and hips until your waist is in a straight line. Although this method can meet the rehabilitation training requirements, some people lack exercise or have lower back injuries that prevent them from meeting the requirements of the exercise, thus making it impossible for these people to perform the glute bridge exercise normally. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing the following technical solution:

[0005] A diastasis recti trainer includes: a base and an expansion membrane.

[0006] Specifically, the expansion membrane covers the upper end face of the base to form a sealed cavity between the base and the base. The side wall of the sealed cavity has an inflation cavity that extends to the outside. An inflation component is connected to the side of the inflation cavity away from the sealed cavity. When the inflation component inflates the sealed cavity, the expansion membrane expands and forms a triangular shape.

[0007] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the base includes a base plate, side plates are fixed on both sides of the base plate, the base plate and the side plates form a U-shaped structure, the expansion film is fixed in the groove of the U-shaped structure, the expansion film is separated from the U-shaped structure and forms a sealed cavity, and the side plates have air-filled cavities that extend into the sealed cavity on both sides.

[0008] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the inflation assembly includes a side tube, one end of which is connected to an inflation chamber, and the other end of which is provided with a pull rod.

[0009] As an improvement to the above technical solution, the pull rod includes a rod body, one end of the rod body inserted into the side tube is provided with a top plug, the top plug fits against the inner wall of the side tube, and the other end of the rod body away from the rod body is gripped.

[0010] As an improvement to the above technical solution, a positioning seat is fixed to the outer side of the side tube, a limiting rod is fixed to the lower end of the grip, the limiting rod passes through the positioning seat, and a threaded ring is threaded to the end of the limiting rod away from the grip.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] The expansion membrane provides lumbar support, while the inflatable component provides a restart function. When the inflatable component is inflated, the expansion membrane expands to support the lumbar region. When the body lies on the expansion membrane, it is only necessary to ensure that the lumbar region is in contact with the expanded position of the membrane. In this way, when training is needed, the inflatable component can be controlled to inflate or adjust, and the expansion of the membrane can drive changes in the lumbar position, thereby achieving the training purpose.

[0017] 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.

[0018] The conventional rehabilitation exercise is the glute bridge exercise. The training method for the glute bridge is usually to lie on your back, then put your feet on the ground and bring them together. While inhaling, lift your spine and hips until your waist is in a straight line. Although this method can meet the rehabilitation training requirements, some people lack exercise or have lower back injuries that prevent them from meeting the requirements of the exercise, thus making it impossible for these people to perform the glute bridge exercise normally.

[0019] To resolve the above issues, please refer to Figure 1-3 A diastasis recti trainer is provided, comprising: a base 10 and an expansion membrane 30.

[0020] Specifically, the expansion membrane 30 covers the upper end face of the base 10 and forms a sealed cavity between the base 10 and the base 10. The side wall of the sealed cavity is provided with an inflation cavity 13 that extends to the outside. An inflation component 20 is connected to the side of the inflation cavity 13 away from the sealed cavity. When the inflation component 20 inflates the sealed cavity, the expansion membrane 30 expands and forms a triangular shape.

[0021] When using it, the human body needs to lie on the base 10 covered by the expansion membrane 30. The base 10 provides support when lying flat. When it is necessary to lift the waist, the inflation component 20 is used to inflate it. The gas enters the interior from the sealed cavity and inflates the expansion membrane 30. Since the waist is in contact with the expansion membrane 30, when the expansion membrane 30 inflates, the waist will be driven by the expansion membrane 30 to produce a certain degree of bending. In this case, it is only necessary to use the inflation component 20 to perform the cycle of inflation and inhalation to make the waist follow the expansion membrane 30 to complete the glute bridge training.

[0022] To ensure the stability of the waist posture during training, in one embodiment, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 3 The base 10 includes a base plate 11, and side plates 12 are fixed on both sides of the base plate 11. The base plate 11 and the side plates 12 form a U-shaped structure. The expansion film 30 is fixed in the groove of the U-shaped structure. The expansion film 30 is separated from the U-shaped structure and forms a sealed cavity. The side plates 12 have air chambers 13 that penetrate into the sealed cavity on both sides.

[0023] The U-shaped structure formed by the base plate 11 and the side plate 12 achieves the limitation on both sides. During the expansion process, it can restrict the waist position, reduce the imbalance caused by the uncertainty during the expansion process, and reduce the risk of waist injury.

[0024] Furthermore, the glute bridge exercise also requires the trainee to use their hands. In this case, to further enhance the interaction between the equipment and the body, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 and 3 Specifically, the inflation assembly 20 includes a side tube 21, one end of which is connected to an inflation chamber 13, and the other end of the side tube 21 is provided with a pull rod 23.

[0025] By forming a pull-out structure with the pull rod 23 and the side tube 21, an air-pumping inflation component 20 can be formed. During training, a push-type structure is used to ensure that the hand can participate in the training process. For some people with hand injuries, an electric inflation device can still be used for inflation.

[0026] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and 3The pull rod 23 includes a rod body 231. One end of the rod body 231, which is inserted into the side tube 21, is provided with a top plug 232. The top plug 232 fits against the inner wall of the side tube 21. The other end of the rod body 231, which is away from the rod body 231, is gripped by a rod 233.

[0027] The trainee can hold the grip bar 233 and pull it back and forth. Since the grip bar 233 is connected to the rod body 231, and the top plug 232 at the end of the rod body 231 is located inside the side tube 21, this pulling operation will form the function of evacuating and inflating the sealed cavity. Pulling back and forth will form an expansion-contraction reciprocating state change, thereby meeting the training requirements.

[0028] Since using a single rod 231 to provide structural support may be unstable, and to further enhance the stability of rod 231 during its pulling and moving process, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference needed]. Figure 3 A positioning seat 22 is fixed to the outside of the side tube 21, and a limiting rod 234 is fixed to the lower end of the grip rod 233. The limiting rod 234 passes through the positioning seat 22, and a threaded ring 235 is threaded to the end of the limiting rod 234 away from the grip rod 233.

[0029] The positioning seat 22 provides support for the entire side tube 21, and a groove is cut at its bottom. The limiting rod 234 extending from the lower part of the grip 233 passes through the positioning seat 22, thus forming a two-point positioning state. This prevents the rod body 231 from having excessive positional deflection when the grip 233 is adjusted, ensuring stability during operation. In addition, the maximum length of the pulling of the limiting rod 234 is limited by the screw ring 235 to prevent excessive pulling that would cause the limiting rod 234 to be pulled out. When disassembly is required, simply unscrew the screw ring 235 to remove the entire pull rod 23.

[0030] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
