[0029] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly and specifically defined.

[0031] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection, a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

"Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a vibration training device includes a vibration platform, an insole 100, and a pedal assembly 200. The vibration platform has a first mounting portion and a second mounting portion. The insole 100 has a mounting surface and a first contact surface 110, the mounting surface being mounted on the first mounting portion. The vibration platform can drive the insole 100 to vibrate. A plurality of first stimulation points are provided on the first contact surface 110. The pedal assembly 200 is disposed on the second mounting portion. The vibration platform can drive the pedal assembly 200 to vibrate. The pedal assembly 200 has a second contact surface 210, which is inclined relative to the vibration platform. A plurality of second stimulation points 220 are provided on the second contact surface 210.

[0034] The insole 100 and pedal assembly 200 can control the foot in different postures and stimulate the brain through nerve reflexes by adjusting the hardness and slope of the foot. Due to the different foot postures and changes in the nerve center, a chain reaction is caused from the foot to the spine, thereby achieving precise training of some small muscles in the foot.

[0035] In some embodiments, the vibration platform can be a composite vibration platform. The vibration platform combines vertical and horizontal vibration modes, which can provide more complex and diverse vibration stimuli, and can precisely adjust the combination of intensity and frequency of vertical and horizontal vibrations.

[0036] A vibration platform may include a motor drive system. The motor drive system is the core component that generates vibration and is typically an electric motor. The motor generates centrifugal force through high-speed rotation, which in turn drives the platform to vibrate, providing a stable and adjustable vibration frequency and amplitude.

[0037] Vibration platforms can also include an eccentric wheel mechanism. The eccentric wheel structure works in conjunction with a motor; the eccentric wheel is mounted on the motor shaft. When the motor rotates, the eccentric motion of the eccentric wheel converts rotational motion into vibration of the platform. By changing the shape, mass distribution, or eccentricity of the eccentric wheel, the frequency and amplitude of the vibration can be adjusted. For example, a larger eccentricity will produce a larger amplitude, increasing the vibration intensity.

[0038] The vibration platform may also include a control system. Users can easily adjust parameters such as vibration frequency, amplitude, vibration mode (e.g., continuous vibration, intermittent vibration), and training time through a control panel or a companion mobile application.

[0039] In some embodiments, the mounting portion of the insole 100 may be placed at the first mounting portion so that the insole 100 does not shift relative to the vibration platform and always works in conjunction with the vibration platform. The user's foot may step on the first contact surface 110. The vibration platform causes the insole 100 and the user's foot to vibrate, thereby achieving a training effect.

[0040] In some embodiments, along the length of the insole 100, the insole 100 has a front end 120 and a rear end 130, the thickness of the rear end 130 being greater than the thickness of the front end 120. The rear end 130 corresponds to the heel of the foot. The sides of the rear end 130 are all designed with an arc shape so that the rear end 130 can stably support the heel, allowing the foot to maintain a good position and posture on the insole 100, and increasing rearfoot stability.

[0041] A protrusion 140 is provided between the front end 120 and the rear end 130. The protrusion 140 is used to support the arch of the foot. Specifically, the height of the protrusion 140 can be 2cm to 4cm. Specifically, the protrusion 140 can be made of medium-density EVA material, supporting the collapsed arch during the support period and generating an upward rebound force during the take-off period.

[0042] It should be noted that along the length of the insole, the rear end (130mm) is thicker than the front end (120mm), a design that conforms to ergonomic principles. During training, the body's center of gravity shifts backward, and the heel bears greater pressure. The thicker rear end (130mm) can better distribute this pressure, reducing discomfort and the risk of injury to the heel.

[0043] The protrusion 140 is located between the front end 120 and the rear end 130, precisely corresponding to the arch of the foot. The shape, height, and firmness of the protrusion 140 are adapted to fit the physiological curve of the arch. The protrusion 140 provides support and cushioning for the arch. The protrusion 140 fills the gap between the arch and the insole 100, ensuring the arch remains stable during vibration. The insole 100 works in conjunction with the vibration platform to optimize the effect of whole-body vibration training. When the vibration platform drives the insole 100 to vibrate, the protrusion 140 of the insole 100 makes the foot more closely connected to the vibration source. With the arch supported, vibrational energy can be better transmitted to the whole body, enhancing the resistance of muscles to vibration, thereby more effectively stimulating muscle contraction and improving the efficiency of muscle strength training.

[0044] In some embodiments, a plurality of first stimulation points are provided on the first contact surface 110. Specifically, the first stimulation points are protrusions. The shape of the protrusions helps to concentrate pressure and produce effective stimulation to specific areas of the sole of the foot.

[0045] Specifically, the first stimulation point can be a proprioceptive stimulation point with a height of 1mm to 3mm covering the surface of the insole 100. This point can stimulate acupoints on the sole of the foot while walking, providing proprioception. The height of 1mm to 3mm ensures the stimulation intensity, allowing the user to clearly perceive the stimulation, without causing discomfort due to excessive height, thus affecting normal walking or standing.

[0046] Multiple primary stimulation points can include toe stimulation points, forefoot metatarsophalangeal stimulation points, lateral heel stimulation points, and medial heel stimulation points. Each primary stimulation point corresponds to multiple proprioceptors. The distribution of these primary stimulation points closely conforms to the structural characteristics of the human foot, designed to target the functions and acupoint distribution of different areas to achieve comprehensive and precise stimulation. The insole's 100mm contact surface is enhanced with tiny protrusions, resembling small bristles. These protrusions are less than 1mm in length, increasing stimulation of the toes, forefoot metatarsophalangeal region, and heel.

[0047] In some embodiments, the pedal assembly 200 is disposed on the second mounting portion to prevent the insole 100 from shifting relative to the vibration platform and to ensure it always works in conjunction with the vibration platform. The vibration platform can drive the pedal assembly 200 to vibrate. The user's foot can step on the second contact surface 210. The vibration platform drives the pedal assembly 200 and the user's foot to vibrate, thereby achieving a training effect.

[0048] Specifically, the pedal assembly 200 is provided with a second contact surface 210, which is inclined relative to the vibration platform, and a plurality of second stimulation points 220 are provided on the second contact surface 210. Specifically, the second stimulation points 220 are protrusions. More specifically, the second stimulation points 220 can be small pointed protrusions, which are used to stimulate acupoints on the sole of the foot.

[0049] Specifically, the second contact surface 210 can be provided with concave and convex textures to increase the friction between the second contact surface 210 and the human foot, thereby preventing the user from slipping during exercise.

[0050] In some embodiments, the pedal assembly 200 includes a support frame 230 and a tilting panel 240, the support frame 230 being disposed on the second mounting portion. The support frame 230 supports the tilting panel 240 to maintain a certain distance between the tilting panel 240 and the ground. The support frame 230 is triangular in shape, which can evenly distribute the user's weight and ensure that the pedal will not wobble or tip over during use.

[0051] Specifically, the tilt panel 240 is provided with a second contact surface 210, and the support frame 230 is connected to the tilt panel 240. The tilt panel 240 is set at an angle relative to the support frame 230, and the angle is adjustable. Specifically, the angle between the tilt panel 240 and the support frame 230 can be 35° to 45°, which helps to better stimulate the calf muscles during heel raises, increase the contraction and extension range of the muscles, and also causes a change in the body's center of gravity, requiring the user to maintain balance through the strength of the leg and gluteal muscles, thereby strengthening the muscles in these areas.

[0052] Specifically, the pedal assembly 200 also includes an elastic element. One end of the elastic element is connected to the support frame 230, and the other end is connected to the tilt panel 240, allowing adjustment of the user's heel lift height according to usage. Specifically, the elastic element can be a spring.

[0053] Specifically, the pedal assembly 200 includes a stop member 250. Along the length of the inclined panel 240, the inclined panel 240 has a first end and a second end, with the first end being higher than the second end. The stop member 250 is disposed at the first end. The stop member 250 is used to fix the user's foot position during calf raises, achieving a stable effect. During calf raises, the foot experiences a sliding force generated by the inclined panel 240. The stop member 250, located at the first end, provides a counter-supporting force to the foot, offsetting part of the sliding force and effectively preventing the foot from sliding on the inclined panel 240, allowing the user to complete the calf raise movement more stably. This is crucial for improving training effectiveness because a stable foot position allows the user to focus more attention and effort on the contraction of the calf muscles, enhancing the stimulation of the calf muscles during calf raises.

[0054] Specifically, the abutment 250 can be a semi-circular panel. The semi-circular panel conforms to the contour of the foot. The semi-circle can wrap around the foot well, providing comprehensive and close-fitting support. Compared to other simple shapes, the semi-circular panel can effectively prevent the foot from slipping without restricting too much foot movement, while providing some lateral support to both sides of the foot, ensuring that the foot remains in a stable position during heel raises.

[0055] Specifically, the abutment 250 has a cushioning pad on its side facing the second end. This cushioning pad not only protects the toes and skin of the foot, but also increases the comfort of the foot.

[0056] In some embodiments, a third mounting portion is provided on the vibration platform, and the vibration training device further includes an angled support assembly 300. The angled support assembly 300 is disposed on the third mounting portion so that the angled support assembly 300 does not shift relative to the vibration platform and always works in coordination with the vibration platform. The vibration platform can drive the angled support assembly 300 to vibrate. The user's feet can step on the angled support assembly 300. The vibration platform drives the pedal assembly 200 and the user's feet to vibrate, thereby achieving the training effect. The vibration platform can drive the angled support assembly 300 to vibrate.

[0057] It should be noted that the angled support component 300 is a triangular plate, with its support surface forming a 60° or 90° angle with the horizontal plane. The support surface of the angled support component 300 gradually increases in size from top to bottom, and the support surface needs to conform to the user's forefoot. A pulley and track device are added to the part of the triangular plate that contacts the ground, allowing the user to select the position of the triangular plate on the track according to the dorsiflexion angle.

[0058] In some embodiments, a fourth mounting portion is provided on the vibration platform, and the vibration training device also includes a footpad disposed on the fourth mounting portion so that the footpad does not shift relative to the vibration platform and always works in coordination with the vibration platform. The vibration platform can drive the footpad to vibrate. The user's foot can step on the footpad. The vibration platform drives the footpad and the user's foot to vibrate, thereby achieving a training effect. The vibration platform can drive the footpad to vibrate.

[0059] Specifically, the footpad has slots for holding multiple magnetic beads. These beads stimulate acupoints on the soles of the feet during exercise. The footpad needs to rationally distribute the placement of the magnetic beads according to the physiological structure of the foot and the acupoints on the soles. More magnetic beads are needed in the arch area. Larger magnetic beads are added to the Yongquan acupoint to enhance stimulation. The footpad is a single, complete mat that can be disassembled into smaller mats for the toes, arch, and heel. Users can stand on the complete mat when they need to stand on one or both feet. Alternatively, the mat can be disassembled to suit the user's specific needs for stimulating certain areas of the foot.

[0060] This vibration training device features structures with varying hardness, slope, and protrusions, controlling the feet in different postures and stimulating the brain through nerve reflexes. Due to changes in foot posture and the nerve center, a chain reaction occurs in the muscles from the feet to the spine, thereby achieving a precise and enhanced training effect on certain muscles.

[0061] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
