[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] The foot care device described in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes a horizontally arranged base 6, on which a foot cover 1 is hinged. A locking element is provided between the foot cover 1 and the base 6 to lock the foot cover 1 after it has been swung closed. Figure 2 As shown, the rear side of the instep cover 1 is hinged to the rear wall of the base 6, allowing the instep cover 1 to swing freely and close on the top of the base 6. When the patient's foot is placed on the plane of the top of the base 6, the instep cover 1 closes by swinging, covering the instep of the patient's foot and placing the patient's foot inside the instep cover 1. Alternatively, the instep cover 1 can be hinged to the base 6 via a pivot. Both the instep cover 1 and the base 6 are fixed with hinge seats, one of which is a hinge... The base has a through hole for mounting a pivot. The pivot is fixed to a hinged base, thereby hinged the instep cover 1 to the base 6, allowing the instep cover 1 to swing open and close. When the instep cover 1 swings to close, it is locked by a buckle. Alternatively, the closed instep cover 1 can be locked by a screw. A locking plate is vertically fixed on the swing end of the instep cover 1, and a screw is mounted on the locking plate. By rotating the screw, the end of the screw presses against the base 6, thereby locking the closed instep cover 1.

[0022] The instep cover 1 has several ventilation holes that connect the inside and outside, such as... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the patient's foot is inside the instep cover 1, the ventilation holes allow air to circulate between the inside and outside, preventing the inside from becoming too stuffy and sweaty, which would affect the comfort during use.

[0023] To elaborate further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment preferably includes several airbags 2, which are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the instep cover 1. An air pump 3 is installed on the instep cover 1, and the air pump 3 is connected to all the airbags 2 via air tubes. In this embodiment, there are three airbags 2, which are evenly fixed on the inner wall of the instep cover 1. When the patient's foot is inside the instep cover 1, the air pump 3 is turned on, allowing air to be injected into all the airbags 2 through the air tubes, causing the airbags 2 to inflate. The three airbags 2 respectively compress the instep and the two sides of the foot, thereby fixing the foot. Furthermore, the different degrees of inflation of the airbags 2 can accommodate feet of different sizes, and the air... The softness of the airbag 2 makes it more comfortable for patients to use and improves its applicability; each air tube is equipped with a one-way valve to prevent the gas injected by the air pump 3 from flowing back; all airbags 2 are equipped with valves for releasing gas, and the gas in the airbag 2 can be released by opening the valve after use, thereby releasing the fixation on the patient's foot; this solution as a whole constitutes a fixation component for fixing the foot inside the instep cover 1; of course, the fixation component can also be made of sponge, which is fixed to the inner wall of the instep cover 1. When the instep cover 1 is closed, the elasticity of the sponge itself compresses the instep of the patient, thereby fixing the foot.

[0024] A vertically fixed baffle 4 for blocking the heel is mounted on the base 6, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the apron 4 is vertically fixed in an arc shape at the top of the base 6 corresponding to the heel position, used to block the patient's heel and prevent it from falling off the top plane of the base 6; a positioning strip 5 for positioning the heel is horizontally fixed on the apron 4. The positioning strip 5 is fixed on the surface of the apron 4 facing the heel. When the patient's foot is placed on the top plane of the base 6, the positioning strip 5 fits against the patient's ankle, so that the positioning strip 5 positions and fixes the patient's heel; the positioning strip 5 is made of materials such as silicone, latex, and foam. These materials are relatively soft and elastic, which can avoid damage to the skin of the ankle and make the patient more comfortable when wearing it;

[0025] The bottom of the base 6 is provided with an installation groove, and a movable plate 8 is independently and horizontally installed in the installation groove. The installation groove is located at the center of the bottom of the base 6, and the movable plate 8 is horizontally located in the installation groove and can move up and down along the installation groove.

[0026] The bottom of the mounting slot has several through holes that are connected vertically. Several massage rods 10 are vertically fixed on the movable plate 8 and are independently installed in the through holes. The massage rods 10 are evenly distributed on the top of the movable plate 8. The upper end of each massage rod 10 passes through the through hole aligned with it and extends out of the through hole, pressing against the patient's foot. The end of all massage rods 10 facing the patient's foot is rounded, so that the massage rods 10 can press against the foot sole more comfortably. The massage rods 10 massage the patient's foot sole by moving up and down.

[0027] A positioning plate 7 is horizontally installed in the mounting groove, located below the movable plate 8. The positioning plate 7 is horizontally located in the mounting groove and can move up and down along the mounting groove.

[0028] To elaborate further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a preferred embodiment includes a motor. Several springs 9 are fixed between the bottom of the mounting groove and the moving plate 8. All springs 9 are evenly distributed between the bottom of the mounting groove and the moving plate 8. When the moving plate 8 moves upward to push the massage rods 10 against the foot plate, all springs 9 can use their elasticity to push the moving plate 8 downward, causing all massage rods 10 to retract into their corresponding through holes and wait for the next upward movement to press against the foot plate. A groove is provided on the top of the positioning plate 7, and a freely rotatable rotating shaft 12 is horizontally installed in the groove. The motor is installed in the groove, and one end of the rotating shaft 12 is connected to the output end of the motor. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the rotating shaft 12 is independently mounted on the left side wall of the groove, and the other end is connected to the output end of the motor, so that the rotating shaft 12 can rotate when the motor rotates; several cams 13 are fitted on the rotating shaft 12, which are in contact with the moving plate 8. The moving plate 8 is pushed by all the springs 9, which will make the bottom of the moving plate 8 contact with the surface of all the cams 13. Therefore, when the rotating shaft 12 drives all the cams 13 to rotate, the cam 13 protrusions will push the moving plate 8 up, so that the moving plate 8 will drive all the massage rods 10 to move upward, while the cam 1 3. When the concave point is rotated to fit with the moving plate 8, the moving plate 8 will move downward under the push of the spring 9, causing all the massage rods 10 to move downward. The whole solution constitutes a drive assembly for driving the moving plate 8 to move up and down reciprocally. Of course, all drive assemblies can also use telescopic cylinders. The base of the telescopic cylinder is fixed on the groove wall of the mounting groove, and the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder is fixed on the moving plate 8. The telescopic cylinder drives the moving plate 8 to move up and down reciprocally, so that the moving plate 8 drives all the massage rods 10 to move up and down reciprocally.

[0029] To elaborate further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a preferred embodiment includes a screw, and a horizontal plate 11 is fixed in the mounting groove. The horizontal plate 11 has a threaded hole that engages with the screw. One end of the screw passes through the threaded hole and rests against the positioning plate 7. Figure 1As shown, by rotating the screw, the screw pushes the positioning plate 7 upward, which in turn pushes the moving plate 8 upward, allowing all the massage rods 10 to extend a longer distance from the through hole, thus increasing the pressure on the foot sole. When the screw moves downward, the moving plate 8, under the action of the spring 9, pushes the positioning plate 7 downward, increasing the distance between the moving plate 8 and the bottom of the mounting groove, shortening the length of all the massage rods 10 extending from the through hole, thus decreasing the pressure on the foot sole. This solution constitutes an adjustment component for adjusting the massage intensity of the massage rods 10.

[0030] In actual use, the patient's foot is placed on top of the base 6. The foot cover 1 is then swung to close, enclosing the patient's foot inside. The air pump 3 is then activated, inflating all the airbags 2 through the air tube. The three airbags 2 compress and secure the instep and both sides of the foot, while the patient's ankle is aligned with the positioning strip 5. The positioning strip 5 positions and secures the patient's heel, preventing the foot care device from falling off. During massage, the motor is activated, driving all the cams via the rotating shaft 12. As the cam 13 rotates, its protrusions push the moving plate 8 upward, causing the moving plate 8 to move all the massage rods 10 upward, so that the massage rods 10 can press and massage the patient's soles. When the cam 13 rotates to the point where its concave point is in contact with the moving plate 8, the moving plate 8 will move downward under the push of the spring 9, causing all the massage rods 10 to move downward and retract into the through hole. All the massage rods 10 repeat the above operation process, thereby providing continuous massage to the patient's feet. This foot care device can be worn by the patient or with the help of a caregiver, so that the feet can receive massage treatment at any time.
