Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically an ankle pump motion counter. Background Technology

[0002] Patients who are bedridden for a long time or at risk of thrombosis are prone to thrombosis due to a significant reduction in limb activity and slowed venous blood flow in the lower limbs. To prevent thrombosis, muscle atrophy, and other complications, ankle pump exercise counters are often used in conjunction with these exercises. Ankle pump exercises, through three key movements—dorsiflexion, dorsiflexion, and ankle rotation—can effectively activate the calf muscle pump function, promote blood circulation in the lower limbs, accelerate blood return, reduce the risk of blood stasis, and thus reduce the probability of thrombosis.

[0003] Chinese Utility Model Patent Publication No. CN 215689584 U discloses a foot exercise device. This device features a shoe upper that covers the patient's foot, effectively securing it and preventing accidental slippage. The drive assembly controls the rear end of the footrest through a transmission component, causing it to reciprocate by lifting and pressing. The footrest then pulls the patient's foot for exercise. The device is simple and convenient to operate, avoiding excessive force and fatigue, and improving the effectiveness of foot exercises. A handle makes it easy to carry. However, while this foot exercise device provides foot training, it is not convenient for implementing ankle pump exercises such as dorsiflexion, dorsiflexion, and ankle rotation to prevent deep vein thrombosis. Furthermore, it is difficult for the patient to monitor the counting progress, resulting in poor practicality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an ankle pump exercise counter, which can effectively solve the problem that although the existing technology can exercise the foot, it is not convenient to realize the ankle pump exercise of dorsiflexion, dorsiflexion and ankle rotation to prevent deep vein thrombosis, and it is also not convenient for patients to see the counting progress, resulting in its limited practicality.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an ankle pump exercise counter, including an angle adjustment component and an integrated connecting seat, connecting block and fixing block on the angle adjustment component. The two ends of the fixing block away from the center line are fixedly installed with connecting rods. The connecting rods are inserted with sleeves. The end of the sleeve away from the connecting rod is fixedly installed with a connecting sleeve. The end of the connecting sleeve away from the connecting rod is rotatably installed with an ankle connecting component.

[0006] The angle adjustment assembly includes a base plate, a connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on one end of the base plate, and a rotating plate is fixedly mounted on the outer edge of the connecting shaft;

[0007] The ankle connection assembly includes a connecting post, a rotating post is rotatably mounted on the end of the connecting post away from the connecting sleeve, a foot cover is fixedly mounted on the extended portion of the rotating post away from the connecting post, and a connecting strap made of elastic material is provided on the end of the foot cover away from the rotating post.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating rod is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating plate away from the connecting shaft, and a limiting block and a limiting rod are rotatably installed at the end of the rotating rod near the base plate. A plurality of equally spaced slots are provided at one end of the base plate, and the slots abut against the limiting rods. A connecting groove adapted to the connecting shaft is provided at one end of the rotating plate.

[0009] The above technical solution uses a rotating rod to drive a limiting rod into a slot in the base plate, which can both limit movement and allow for multi-angle adjustment. The range of motion can be dynamically adjusted according to the patient's rehabilitation stage to avoid overstretching.

[0010] Preferably, the foot cover has a connecting groove 2 that matches the rotating column at one end, and the ankle connecting components are provided in two identical parts and are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the angle adjustment components.

[0011] The above technical solution allows the foot sleeve to move forward and backward through the connecting groove 2 and the rotating column, thus preventing deep vein thrombosis through effective ankle pumping.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting rod has slots at both ends away from the center line, the sleeve has a plug block fixedly installed at the end near the connecting rod that is inserted into the slot, and the sleeve has a positioning bolt threadedly connected at the end away from the connecting rod that abuts against the connecting rod.

[0013] The above technical solution, through the design of slots and plugs, enables quick positioning and installation of the plugs, connecting rods, and the upper components. After installation, the plugs can be fixed by positioning bolts, which facilitates the replacement of the upper components.

[0014] Preferably, a support frame with a triangular cross-section is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting block, and a trigger switch is provided at the end of the support frame away from the angle adjustment component. The trigger switch is in contact with the front end of the ankle connecting component.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the triangular support frame 1, when the back extension angle is ≥20°, the front end of the foot sleeve touches and counts, avoiding accidental triggering by minor movements, preventing natural micro-movements of the ankle, and ensuring that each count corresponds to an effective exercise movement.

[0016] Preferably, a second support frame with a triangular cross-section is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting block away from the first support frame. A second trigger switch is provided at the end of the second support frame away from the angle adjustment component. The second trigger switch is in contact with the front end of the ankle connecting component. An indicator panel is provided at the center line of the fixed block. The indicator panel is electrically connected to both the first and second trigger switches.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the symmetrically set trigger switch two and trigger switch one jointly monitor the dorsiflexion movement. The indicator panel displays the number of dorsiflexion, dorsiextension, and ankle rotations, and uses red, yellow, and green lights to indicate the intensity. The number of dorsiflexion and dorsiextensions are displayed separately, which makes it easier for medical staff to analyze the difference in muscle strength between the left and right sides of the patient. At the same time, the patient can intuitively see the counting progress, which improves its practicality.

[0018] Preferably, a positioning post is fixedly installed at the end of the angle adjustment component away from the connecting seat, and an anti-slip sleeve is fixedly installed at the end of the positioning post away from the angle adjustment component.

[0019] The above technical solution, through the design of positioning columns and anti-slip sleeves, can be fixed to the head of the hospital bed, wheelchair armrests, or bedside table, avoiding counting deviations caused by counter slippage.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an ankle pump motion counter, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. This ankle pump exercise counter displays the number of dorsiflexion, dorsiflexion, and ankle rotation counts on the indicator panel, and uses red, yellow, and green lights to indicate the intensity. The dorsiflexion and dorsiflexion counts are displayed separately, which makes it easier for medical staff to analyze the difference in muscle strength between the left and right sides of the patient. At the same time, the patient can intuitively see the counting progress, which improves its practicality, fun, compliance, and standardization.

[0022] 2. This ankle pump exercise counter uses a rotating rod to drive a limiting rod into a slot in the base plate. This not only serves as a limit but also allows for multi-angle adjustment. The range of motion can be dynamically adjusted according to the patient's rehabilitation stage to avoid overstretching, thus improving the overall versatility of the counter and facilitating its widespread use. It can also help prevent deep vein thrombosis through ankle pump exercises involving dorsiflexion, dorsiflexion, and ankle rotation. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Example 1: As Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides an ankle pump exercise counter, including an angle adjustment component 1 and an integral connecting seat 2, a connecting block 3 and a fixing block 4 on the angle adjustment component 1. Connecting rods 5 are fixedly installed at both ends of the fixing block 4 away from the center line. A plug sleeve 7 is inserted into the connecting rod 5. A connecting sleeve 10 is fixedly installed at one end of the plug sleeve 7 away from the connecting rod 5. An ankle connecting component 11 is rotatably installed at one end of the connecting sleeve 10 away from the connecting rod 5.

[0033] The angle adjustment assembly 1 includes a base plate 101, a connecting shaft 103 is rotatably mounted on one end of the base plate 101, and a rotating plate 104 is fixedly mounted on the outer edge of the connecting shaft 103.

[0034] The ankle connection assembly 11 includes a connecting post 1101. A rotating post 1102 is rotatably mounted on the end of the connecting post 1101 away from the connecting sleeve 10. A foot cover 1103 is fixedly mounted on the extended part of the rotating post 1102 away from the connecting post 1101. A connecting strap 1105 made of elastic material is provided on the end of the foot cover 1103 away from the rotating post 1102.

[0035] Specifically, a rotating rod 106 is fixedly installed at the end of the rotating plate 104 away from the connecting shaft 103. A limiting block 107 and a limiting rod 108 are rotatably installed at the end of the rotating rod 106 near the base plate 101. A plurality of equally spaced slots 102 are opened at one end of the base plate 101, and the slots 102 abut against the limiting rods 108. A connecting groove 105 adapted to the connecting shaft 103 is opened at one end of the rotating plate 104. The advantage is that by rotating the rod 106 to drive the limiting rod 108 into the slots 102 of the base plate 101, it can not only play a limiting role, but also realize multi-angle adjustment. The range of motion can be dynamically adjusted according to the patient's rehabilitation stage to avoid overstretching.

[0036] Specifically, the end of the foot sleeve 1103 near the rotating column 1102 is provided with a connecting groove 1104 that is adapted to the rotating column 1102. Two identical ankle connecting components 11 are provided and are symmetrically distributed about the center line of the angle adjustment component 1. The advantage is that by connecting the foot sleeve 1103 to the rotating column 1102 through the connecting groove 1104, the foot sleeve 1103 can move in the front and back directions, and deep vein thrombosis can be prevented through effective ankle pump movement.

[0037] Specifically, slots 6 are provided at both ends of the connecting rod 5 away from the center line. A plug block 8 is fixedly installed at the end of the sleeve 7 near the connecting rod 5, which is inserted into the slot 6. A positioning bolt 9 that abuts against the connecting rod 5 is threaded to the end of the sleeve 7 away from the connecting rod 5. The advantage is that the design of the slots 6 and the plug block 8 can realize the quick positioning and installation of the plug block 8 with the connecting rod 5 and the upper part. After installation, the plug block 8 can be fixed by the positioning bolt 9, which makes it easy to replace the upper components.

[0038] Example 2: Figure 2-7 As shown, this is an improvement on the previous embodiment.

[0039] Specifically, a support frame 14 with a triangular cross-section is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting block 3. A trigger switch 15 is provided at the end of the support frame 14 away from the angle adjustment component 1. The trigger switch 15 is in contact with the front end of the ankle connection component 11. The advantage is that when the dorsiflexion angle is ≥20°, the front end of the foot sleeve 1103 touches the counting, avoiding accidental triggering by minor movements. This can prevent the ankle from moving naturally and ensure that each count corresponds to an effective exercise movement.

[0040] Specifically, a support frame 16 with a triangular cross-section is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting block 3 away from the support frame 14. A trigger switch 17 is set at the end of the support frame 16 away from the angle adjustment component 1. The trigger switch 17 is in contact with the front end of the ankle connection component 11. An indicator panel 18 is set at the center line of the fixing block 4. The indicator panel 18 is electrically connected to both the trigger switch 15 and the trigger switch 17. The advantage is that the symmetrically set trigger switches 17 and 15 jointly monitor the dorsiflexion movement. The indicator panel 18 displays the number of dorsiflexion, dorsiextension, and ankle rotation, and uses red, yellow, and green lights to indicate the intensity. The number of dorsiflexion and dorsiextension is displayed separately, which makes it easier for medical staff to analyze the difference in muscle strength between the left and right sides of the patient. At the same time, the patient can intuitively see the counting progress, which improves its practicality.

[0041] Specifically, a positioning post 12 is fixedly installed at the end of the angle adjustment component 1 away from the connecting seat 2, and an anti-slip sleeve 13 is fixedly installed at the end of the positioning post 12 away from the angle adjustment component 1. The advantage is that, through the design of the positioning post 12 and the anti-slip sleeve 13, it can be fixed to the head of the hospital bed, the armrest of the wheelchair or the bedside table, avoiding counting deviation caused by the sliding of the counter.

[0042] Working principle: During use, rotating rod 106 drives limiting rod 108 to engage with slot 102 in base plate 101, which serves both as a limit and allows for multi-angle adjustment. The range of motion can be dynamically adjusted according to the patient's rehabilitation stage to avoid overstretching. Foot sleeve 1103 connects to rotating column 1102 via connecting slot 1104, allowing for forward and backward movement. Effective ankle pumping helps prevent deep vein thrombosis. The design of slot 6 and insert 8 allows for quick positioning and installation of insert 8, connecting rod 5, and the upper components. After installation, insert 8 can be fixed using positioning bolt 9, facilitating replacement of the upper components and triangular support frame. 14. When the dorsiflexion angle is ≥20°, the front end of the foot cover 1103 touches the counter to count, avoiding accidental triggering by minor movements. This prevents natural micro-movements of the ankle and ensures that each count corresponds to an effective exercise movement. The symmetrically set trigger switch 2 17 and trigger switch 1 15 jointly monitor the dorsiflexion movement. The indicator panel 18 displays the number of dorsiflexion, dorsiflexion, and ankle rotation counts, and uses red, yellow, and green lights to indicate the intensity. The dorsiflexion and dorsiflexion counts are displayed separately, which is convenient for medical staff to analyze the difference in muscle strength between the left and right sides of the patient. At the same time, the patient can intuitively see the counting progress, improving its practicality. Through the design of the positioning column 12 and the anti-slip sleeve 13, it can be fixed to the head of the hospital bed, wheelchair armrest, or bedside table to avoid counting deviation caused by the counter sliding.
