[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention proposes an orthopedic rehabilitation training device, which aims to provide a safe, reliable and easy-to-operate rehabilitation aid.

[0031] The orthopedic rehabilitation training equipment includes a seat 100, a cushioning component 200, two training aids 300, and a controller. The seat 100 serves as the supporting foundation of the entire equipment, and its design fully considers patient comfort and ease of use. It has a backrest and two armrests, all filled with comfortable material. The main body of the seat 100 is made of sturdy yet lightweight materials, such as steel tubing, to ensure stability and durability.

[0032] The seat 100 is equipped with a height-adjustable seat cushion 110. A cushioning assembly 200 is connected to the bottom of the seat cushion 110, enabling the seat cushion 110 to rise and slowly descend. The cushioning assembly 200 can employ components such as springs, dampers, or cylinders, and can drive the seat cushion 110 to rise smoothly or descend slowly under the command of a controller. When the seat cushion 110 rises to its highest position, it can easily support the patient's buttocks, requiring no effort from the patient when sitting down. When the seat cushion 110 slowly descends, its gentle movement ensures that the patient can smoothly transition to a sitting position without the need for leg exertion, which is especially important for patients with weak lower limb strength or those undergoing recovery.

[0033] Each training aid component 300 includes a support plate 310, a footrest 320, and a power unit 330. The support plate 310 serves as a support structure, with its upper end hinged to the front of the seat 100, allowing it to swing relative to the seat 100. During training, the patient simulates walking or stepping movements as the support plate 310 swings, thereby exercising lower limb muscles and promoting the recovery of joint flexibility. The footrest 320 is fixed to the lower end of the support plate 310, providing a stable platform for the patient's feet. A fixing sleeve 321, made of a soft and elastic material, is provided on the footrest 320 to accommodate different foot sizes, effectively preventing the patient's feet from slipping or falling off during training, thus improving the safety and stability of the training. The power unit 330 is connected to the back of the support plate 310, providing power for its swinging motion. Under the precise control of the controller, the two power components 330 can move alternately to achieve continuous swinging of the upright plate 310, simulating a gait rhythm that is closer to natural walking. This alternating drive design not only improves the simulation accuracy of training, but also allows patients to feel balanced force on both lower limbs during training, which helps promote the coordinated development of both limbs.

[0034] As the brain of the entire device, the controller undertakes the important tasks of receiving user commands, processing data, and sending control signals to various components. The controller can wirelessly communicate with a smartphone APP, allowing patients or medical staff to set training parameters according to the patient's specific situation, such as the height adjustment of the seat cushion, the swing frequency, and the swing amplitude.

[0035] With the orthopedic rehabilitation training device of this invention, when patients undergo rehabilitation training, they can first use the controller to control the buffer component 200 to raise the seat cushion 110, allowing the patient to easily sit on it. Subsequently, the seat cushion 110 slowly descends under the action of the buffer component 200, ensuring the patient can sit down smoothly and safely. Next, the patient inserts their feet into the fixing sleeves 321 of the footrest 320, and the controller controls the two power components 330 to alternately move, driving the upright plate 310, the footrest 320, and the patient's lower legs to swing together in training. During this process, the patient can adjust the training intensity at any time according to their own feelings through the controller to achieve the best rehabilitation effect.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the cushioning assembly 200 includes two cylinders, which are vertically arranged under the seat cushion 110. The selection and design of the cylinders fully consider load-bearing capacity and stability, ensuring that the seat cushion 110 can move smoothly and safely during lifting and lowering. Each cylinder has two air pipe connectors, which are connected to an air supply pump through air pipes to form a complete pneumatic system. The air supply pump delivers compressed air to control the extension and retraction of the cylinders, thereby driving the lifting and lowering of the seat cushion 110.

[0037] When the patient prepares to sit down, the controller sends a command to the air pump, increasing the air pressure in the lower part of the cylinder and pushing the seat cushion 110 upward to support the patient's buttocks. Once the patient is seated comfortably, the controller sends another command to the air pump, gradually decreasing the air pressure in the lower part of the cylinder. The seat cushion 110 slowly descends under the cushioning effect of the cylinder until it reaches the preset sitting height. This lifting mechanism not only improves patient comfort but also avoids potential secondary injuries caused by suddenly sitting or standing up.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the power component 330 is an electric actuator. One end of the electric actuator is hinged to the support of the seat 100, and the other end is hinged to the back of the upright plate 310, so that the electric actuator can drive the upright plate 310 to swing, thereby simulating walking or stepping movements. The electric actuator has the advantages of large thrust, long stroke, and precise control, and is very suitable for driving the training aid component 300 for rehabilitation training.

[0039] During training, the patient places both feet on the footrest 320 and adjusts the extension and retraction speed and stroke of the electric actuator via a controller, thereby controlling the swing frequency and amplitude of the upright board 310. As the upright board 310 swings, the patient's lower limbs will perform simulated walking or stepping movements, which helps to exercise the flexibility of the lower limb muscles and joints.

[0040] In some embodiments of this invention, the fixing sleeve 321 is an elastic band with an arc shape, and both ends are fixed to the footplate 320, so that the elastic band can fit tightly to the patient's foot and prevent the foot from slipping or falling off during training. At the same time, the arc-shaped design of the elastic band can also adapt to different foot sizes, improving the patient's comfort.

[0041] In some embodiments of this utility model, a massage sleeve 340 is connected to the upright plate 310. The massage sleeve 340 includes two semi-cylindrical shells, which are closed to form a cylindrical space to accommodate the patient's calf, so that the massage sleeve 340 can tightly wrap the patient's calf. The inner wall of the semi-cylindrical shell is provided with a massage element 341. After training, the massage effect of the massage element 341 promotes blood circulation and muscle relaxation in the lower limbs.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments of this invention, the massage element 341 consists of multiple airbags disposed on the inner wall of a semi-cylindrical shell. The outer wall of each airbag is covered with an electrothermal film. The massage sleeve 340 not only has a massage function but also a heat therapy function. During training, the controller can send commands to the airbags and the electrothermal film, causing the airbags to inflate and adhere tightly to the patient's calves. Multiple airbags alternately inflate and deflate to achieve the massage function. In addition, heat is generated through the electrothermal film to provide heat therapy to the patient's calves. This dual effect of heat therapy and massage can further promote blood circulation and muscle relaxation in the lower limbs, improving the rehabilitation effect.

[0043] To ensure the stability and safety of the massage sleeve 340, the two semi-cylindrical shells are secured together with Velcro. The Velcro design allows the semi-cylindrical shells to be easily closed and opened, making it convenient for patients to put on and take off before and after use. At the same time, the adhesiveness of the Velcro ensures that the semi-cylindrical shells will not fall off or loosen during training, guaranteeing the effectiveness of the massage sleeve 340.

[0044] In some embodiments of this invention, the controller is connected to an operation panel 400, which is mounted on the armrest of the seat 100. This design fully considers the convenience and comfort of the patient during use. During rehabilitation training, patients often need to frequently adjust various parameters of the device, such as exercise intensity and massage mode. If the operation panel 400 is placed too far away from the patient, it will greatly increase the difficulty and inconvenience of operation. By placing the operation panel 400 directly on the armrest of the seat 100, the patient can easily reach and operate it without having to turn around or reach out, improving operational efficiency and ensuring the stability and safety of the patient during operation. The operation panel 400 uses a clear and easy-to-understand icon and button layout, enabling the patient to quickly identify and operate various functions.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of this utility model, support frames 120 are provided on both sides of the seat 100, and an underarm support pad 121 is installed at the upper end of the support frame 120. The underarm support pad 121 is crescent-shaped, which fully considers the principles of ergonomics and can closely fit the patient's underarms to provide stable support. During rehabilitation training, especially for some patients with lower limb injuries or functional limitations, it is necessary to use external force to maintain the balance and stability of the body, making it difficult for them to sit directly on the seat 100. The underarm support pad 121 can provide additional support for the patient and effectively reduce the burden on the patient's lower limbs, allowing the patient to sit easily on the cushion 110.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 Furthermore, the support frame 120 is designed with a sliding connection, allowing it to slide and adjust along the supports 130 on both sides of the seat 100. For example, the supports 130 may have grooves in which the support frame 120 can move, enabling the distance between the two support frames 120 to be flexibly adjusted according to the patient's body type and training needs. For instance, for overweight patients, the distance between the two support frames 120 can be increased to ensure that the underarm support pad 121 fits snugly against the armpit; while for thinner patients, the distance between the support frames 120 can be decreased. The supports 130 are connected with locking components, which can be pins, slots, or other structures. After the positions of the two support frames 120 are adjusted, they can be quickly locked, improving stability and reliability.

[0047] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
