Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical assistive device technology, specifically to a supine Kegel exercise assistive device. Background Technology

[0002] Hysterectomy is a surgical procedure that removes the uterus. It is often used to remove uterine tumors, lesions in the adnexa that cause uterine bleeding, and for total hysterectomy. After a total hysterectomy, the position of the pelvic cavity changes, leading to displacement of various organs and potentially causing pelvic floor dysfunction, mainly manifested as stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. This severely affects the patient's quality of life. Therefore, after good surgical healing, it is necessary to exercise the pelvic floor muscles.

[0003] Methods for strengthening pelvic floor muscles include Kegel exercises, abdominal breathing, and supine bicycle crunches. Kegel exercises, also known as pelvic floor exercises, were introduced in 1948 by American physician Arnold Kegel. They involve repeatedly contracting and relaxing certain pelvic floor muscles (commonly known as "Kegel muscles"). The purpose of Kegel exercises is to strengthen muscle tone by stretching the pubococcygeus muscle of the pelvic floor. Current research confirms that early postoperative pelvic floor rehabilitation training can significantly improve pelvic floor muscle strength and has a good effect on relieving stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.

[0004] While Kegel exercises can help patients strengthen their pelvic floor muscles, the frequency of these exercises is often incorrect, with a common problem being that the frequency is too fast. Excessive speed is not conducive to strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. Patients who have undergone hysterectomy are generally weaker and, without the guidance of assistive devices, often have a lower motivation to exercise. This makes it difficult for patients to consistently perform Kegel exercises, resulting in poor training effects and failing to achieve the desired postoperative relief of stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the technical defects in the prior art, such as patients performing Kegel exercises at irregular frequencies, poor willingness to exercise, and difficulty in persisting, which usually result in substandard postoperative exercise and failure to achieve the effect of relieving stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse after surgery. Thus, a supine Kegel exercise assistive device is provided to assist patients in performing Kegel exercise training.

[0006] Therefore, this utility model provides a supine Kegel exercise assistive device, comprising:

[0007] The base frame includes a mounting plate and a support rod fixedly connected to the mounting plate for supporting the mounting plate;

[0008] A support component, located above the mounting plate, is used to support the human body;

[0009] The lifting assembly, mounted on the mounting plate, includes a lifting mechanism connected to the supporting assembly and a drive mechanism that drives the lifting mechanism to perform lifting movements.

[0010] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes:

[0011] The lifting body is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate;

[0012] A bushing is rotatably mounted on the lifting body, and the bushing has an internal thread; the bushing is connected to the output end of the drive mechanism and can rotate under the drive of the output end.

[0013] The screw is threadedly connected to the bushing via its internal thread, and can move up and down as the bushing rotates; the upper end of the screw passes through the bushing and is fixedly connected to the support assembly.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism also includes:

[0015] The worm gear has one end fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism and can rotate under the drive of the output end, while the other end is a free end.

[0016] The worm gear is sleeved outside the bushing and fixedly connected to the bushing; the worm gear is meshed with the worm.

[0017] Furthermore, the lifting body has an upper through hole on its top and a side through hole on its side wall;

[0018] The bushing is rotatably mounted on the lifting body, with its upper end protruding through the upper through hole; the worm gear is rotatably mounted on the lifting body, with one end protruding through the side through hole and fixedly connected to the output end of the drive mechanism.

[0019] Furthermore, the mounting plate is square, and there are four support rods arranged vertically and parallel to each other, which are fixedly installed at the four corners of the mounting plate.

[0020] Furthermore, the support rod includes a support section located below the mounting plate and a guide section located above the mounting plate.

[0021] Furthermore, the base frame also includes:

[0022] There are two handrails, arranged in parallel opposite directions, and both ends of each handrail are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the guide sections of the two support rods.

[0023] Furthermore, the support component includes:

[0024] A support plate is installed at the top of the screw. Guide sleeves are installed on the support plate at the positions corresponding to the four support rods. The support plate is slidably connected to the guide section of the support rod through the guide sleeves.

[0025] Furthermore, the support component also includes:

[0026] The straps are connected at both ends to the opposite sides of the support plate, forming a space with the support plate to accommodate the human body.

[0027] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0028] The controller, electrically connected to the drive mechanism, is used to send control signals to the drive mechanism.

[0029] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0042] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0043] This embodiment provides a supine Kegel exercise assist device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a base frame 1, a support assembly 2, and a lifting assembly; the base frame 1 includes a mounting plate 11 and a support rod 12 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11 for supporting the mounting plate 11; the support assembly 2 is located above the mounting plate 11 and is used to support the human body; the lifting assembly is disposed on the mounting plate 11 and includes a lifting mechanism 3 connected to the support assembly 2 and a drive mechanism 4 for driving the lifting mechanism 3 to perform lifting movements.

[0044] The supine Kegel exercise assistive device of this embodiment can be used on a specially designed bed. For example, the bed frame has a cavity corresponding to the position of the buttocks. The assistive device is placed in the cavity. In use, the patient's upper body and lower limbs are supported on the bed frame, and the buttocks are supported on the support component 2. Then, the control drive mechanism 4 drives the lifting mechanism 3 to move up and down. The lifting mechanism 3 drives the support component 2 to move up and down, and the support component 2 further supports the patient's buttocks to move up and down, thereby assisting the patient in Kegel exercise training. Alternatively, the supine Kegel exercise assistive device of this embodiment can also be placed between two beds. In use, the patient supports their upper body and lower limbs on the bed frames of the two beds respectively, and the buttocks are supported on the support component 2. Then, they can perform Kegel exercise training with the assistance of this device.

[0045] The supine Kegel exercise assist device of this embodiment, such as Figure 2-4As shown, the lifting mechanism 3 includes a lifting body 30, a bushing 31, and a screw 32; the lifting body 30 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 11; the bushing 31 is rotatably mounted on the lifting body 30, and the bushing 31 has an internal thread; the bushing 31 is connected to the output end 41 of the driving mechanism 4 and can rotate under the drive of the output end 41; the screw 32 is threadedly connected to the bushing 31 through the internal thread of the bushing 31 and can move up and down with the rotation of the bushing 31; the upper end of the screw 32 passes through the bushing 31 and is fixedly connected to the support assembly 2.

[0046] In this embodiment of the lying Kegel exercise assist device, the lifting mechanism 3 further includes a worm 33 and a worm wheel 34; one end of the worm 33 is fixedly connected to the output end 41 of the drive mechanism 4 and can rotate under the drive of the output end 41, and the other end is a free end; the worm wheel 34 is sleeved on the outside of the bushing 31 and fixedly connected to the bushing 31; the worm wheel 34 is meshed with the worm 33.

[0047] In this embodiment of the lying Kegel exercise assist device, the lifting body 30 has an upper through hole 301 on its upper part and a side through hole 302 on its side wall; the bushing 31 is rotatably mounted on the lifting body 30, and the upper end of the bushing 31 protrudes through the upper through hole 301; the worm gear 33 is rotatably mounted on the lifting body 30, one end of which protrudes through the side through hole 302 and is fixedly connected to the output end 41 of the drive mechanism 4.

[0048] In this embodiment of the lying Kegel exercise assist device, the mounting plate 11 is square, and the number of support rods 12 is four, which are arranged vertically and parallel, and are respectively fixedly installed at the four corners of the mounting plate 11.

[0049] In this embodiment of the lying Kegel exercise assist device, the support rod 12 includes a support section 121 located below the mounting plate 11 and a guide section 122 located above the mounting plate 11.

[0050] In this embodiment of the supine Kegel exercise assistive device, the base frame 1 also includes two handrails 13, arranged in parallel opposite directions. Both ends of each handrail 13 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the guide sections 122 of the two support rods 12. In this embodiment, by providing the handrails 13, on the one hand, the patient's body positioned on the support component 2 can be blocked, preventing the patient's body from detaching from the support component 2 and thus affecting the training effect; on the other hand, the handrails 13 can be used by the patient for leverage. For example, when the patient needs to adjust their body, they can grasp the handrails 13 for leverage, making it easier for the patient to adjust their body.

[0051] In this embodiment of the lying Kegel exercise assist device, the support component 2 includes a support plate 21, which is installed on the top of the screw 32. The support plate 21 is equipped with guide sleeves 22 at the positions corresponding to the four support rods 12. The support plate 21 is slidably connected to the guide section 122 of the support rod 12 through the guide sleeves 22.

[0052] In this embodiment, the support plate 21 is slidably connected to the guide section 122 of the support rod 12 via the guide sleeve 22, which can prevent the support plate 21 from shifting laterally during movement, thereby affecting the patient's training effect.

[0053] In this embodiment of the lying Kegel exercise assist device, the support component 2 further includes a strap 23, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the opposite sides of the support plate 21, and together with the support plate 21 form an accommodating space 20 for accommodating the human body.

[0054] In this embodiment of the supine Kegel exercise assistive device, when the support component 2 is driven upward by the lifting component, the patient, after feeling the upward movement of the support component 2, actively applies force to lift their buttocks upward. During this process, the patient can maintain contact with the support component 2 to adjust the lifting speed and height. After holding the buttocks lifted for a certain period of time, as the support component 2 moves downward, it drives the strap 23 downward. The patient, feeling the downward movement of the support component 2 or the pulling force of the strap 23, actively lowers their buttocks downward, thus completing the training. With the assistance of this supine Kegel exercise assistive device, patients can perform Kegel exercises in a standard posture, and the device can also increase the patient's willingness to perform Kegel exercises. After exercise fatigue, the device provides support and protection for the patient.

[0055] The supine Kegel exercise aid device of this embodiment also includes a controller, which is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 4 and is used to send control signals to the drive mechanism 4. The drive mechanism 4 can receive the control signals and perform corresponding actions under the action of the control signals. For example, the controller can send control signals to the drive mechanism 4, including starting to rise, starting to fall, stopping movement, etc. At the same time, the controller can also set the rising height, falling height, speed, falling speed, highest point pause time, lowest point pause time, automatic mode, manual mode, etc., and transmit them to the drive mechanism 4 through control signals, so that the drive mechanism 4 can perform corresponding actions according to the settings.

[0056] Working principle: Taking the use on a specially designed bed with a cavity as an example, when the supine Kegel exercise assistive device of this embodiment is working, the device is first placed in the cavity, the patient supports the upper body and lower limbs on the bed, with the buttocks above the support plate 21. Then, the controller can be used to set parameters such as rising height, falling height, rising speed, falling speed, highest point pause time, and lowest point pause time, and send them to the drive mechanism 4 through control signals. After setting, manual mode or automatic mode can be selected, and then the drive mechanism 4 can be started to make the drive mechanism 4 perform corresponding actions. At the same time, during the training process, the controller can also be used to send control signals to the drive mechanism 4 at any time for control. During the ascent, the drive mechanism 4 is activated. The output end 41 of the drive mechanism 4 drives the worm 33 to rotate in the forward direction. The worm 33 drives the worm wheel 34 to rotate in the forward direction. The bushing 31 rotates in the same direction as the worm wheel 34. The screw 32 rises under the action of the bushing 31, and drives the top support plate 21 to rise, thereby lifting the patient's buttocks upward and reminding the patient to actively perform buttock-lifting exercises. When the support plate 21 reaches the set height, the drive mechanism 4 stops, and the patient maintains the buttock-lifting position. After the support plate 21 stays at the predetermined height for a predetermined time, the drive mechanism 4 is activated. The output end 41 of the drive mechanism 4 drives the worm 33 to rotate in the reverse direction. The worm 33 drives the worm wheel 34 to rotate in the reverse direction. The bushing 31 rotates in the same direction as the worm wheel 34. The screw 32 descends under the action of the bushing 31, and drives the top support plate 21 to descend, thereby reminding the patient to perform buttock-lowering exercises. After descending to the set height, it stays for a predetermined time, and then the drive mechanism 4 restarts and begins the next ascent process. This process is repeated to assist the patient in performing Kegel exercises.

[0057] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this innovative technical solution.
