Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ankle pump training equipment, and in particular to a bed-mounted ankle pump exercise trainer. Background Technology
[0002] Ankle pump training refers to using ankle joint movements to act like a pump, promoting blood pressure and lymphatic circulation in the lower limbs. It includes ankle flexion, extension, and rotation movements. Ankle pump exercises play a crucial role in the functional recovery of patients who have been bedridden for extended periods or after surgery. Current related solutions, such as the novel ankle pump exercise device disclosed in patent document CN214910028U, involve a foot-moving motion centered on the ankle, which results in a relatively small range of motion and fails to allow the foot to fully extend. Utility Model Content
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a bed-mounted ankle pump exercise trainer, which uses an electric telescopic component to drive the lower end of the pedal to swing. During the swinging process, the patient's foot can be stretched relative to the lower leg, making it more convenient for the patient to exercise and improving the effect.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a bed ankle pump exercise trainer, including a base;
[0005] The base is provided with a clamp that is fixed to the end plate of the bed;
[0006] The base is provided with a support rod, and the ends of the support rods extend to both sides with rotating shafts. The rotating shafts are respectively connected to the upper end of the pedal, and the lower end of the pedal is hinged to one end of the electric telescopic component.
[0007] When in use, the base is fixed to the foot of the bed with clamps, with the pedal hanging down on the inside of the bed. The lower end of the electric telescopic component abuts against the corner between the footboard and the bed board. The patient lies on the bed with their feet on the pedal. When the electric telescopic component is activated, it causes the lower end of the pedal to swing around the upper end, thereby enabling the patient to perform ankle pump exercises.
[0008] Preferably, the clamp includes a downwardly positioned clamping opening that fits downwards onto the upper edge of the footboard. This allows for more stable fixation to the upper edge of the footboard and provides adjustable height, facilitating the placement of the patient's feet on the footrest.
[0009] Preferably, a fastening bolt is threaded onto one side of the clamp, and the front end of the fastening bolt extends into the inside of the clamp. The fastening bolt can more securely lock the base to the tailboard.
[0010] Preferably, the front end of the fastening bolt is provided with a contact plate. The contact plate increases the contact area and reduces the pressure, thus avoiding damage to the bed tailboard.
[0011] Preferably, the pivots on both sides of the support rod are rotatably fitted with sleeves, and the upper end of the pedal is fixed to the sleeves. The sleeves can limit the swing direction of the pedal, preventing it from swinging in other directions.
[0012] Preferably, the pedal is equipped with a strap. This facilitates its fixation to the foot, allowing for better ankle pump movement for the patient.
[0013] Preferably, the electrically operated telescopic component is an electrically operated push rod. This results in a smaller size, lower noise level, and greater suitability for use in hospital wards.
[0014] Preferably, the lower end of the electrically operated telescopic component is provided with a spherical soft pad. This makes it softer and avoids damage to the bed surface.
[0015] Preferably, the spherical pad is made of rubber. This provides better friction and prevents it from sliding on the bed surface.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This solution uses an electric telescopic component, with the upper end of the pedal as the center, driving the lower end to swing. During the swing, the patient's foot can be extended relative to the lower leg, making it easier for the patient to exercise and resulting in better effects. Attached Figure Description

[0022] To enhance understanding of this utility model, it will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0023] Example
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the in-bed ankle pump exercise trainer includes a base 2; the base 2 is provided with a clamp fixed to the footboard 9 of the bed; the base 2 is provided with a support rod 3, and the ends of the support rod 3 extend to both sides with rotating shafts 4, the rotating shafts 4 being connected to the upper ends of the pedals 1 respectively, and the lower end of the pedals 1 being hinged to one end of the electric telescopic component 6.
[0025] When in use, the base 2 is fixed to the foot of the bed with a clamp, and the pedal 1 hangs down on the inside of the bed. The lower end of the electric telescopic component 6 abuts against the corner of the footboard 9 and the bed board. The patient lies on the bed with his feet on the pedal 1. The electric telescopic component 6 is activated, and the electric telescopic component 6 drives the lower end of the pedal 1 to swing around the upper end, thereby driving the patient to perform ankle pump exercises.
[0026] Combination Figure 2 As shown, the clamp includes a downwardly positioned clamping opening 10, which fits downwards onto the upper edge of the footboard 9. This allows for more stable fixation to the upper edge of the footboard 9 and provides adjustable height, facilitating the placement of the patient's feet on the footrest 1.
[0027] A fastening bolt 11 is threaded onto one side of the clamp 10, and the front end of the fastening bolt 11 extends into the inside of the clamp 10. The fastening bolt 11 can more securely lock the base 2 to the bed tailboard 9.
[0028] The front end of the fastening bolt 11 is provided with a contact plate 12. The contact plate 12 increases the contact area and reduces the pressure, thus avoiding damage to the bed tailboard 9.
[0029] The pivot shafts 4 on both sides of the support rod 3 are respectively fitted with sleeves 5, and the upper end of the pedal 1 is fixed to the sleeves 5. The sleeves 5 can limit the swing direction of the pedal 1 to prevent it from swinging in other directions.
[0030] The pedal 1 is equipped with a strap 8, which facilitates its fixation to the foot and better enables the patient's ankle pump movement.
[0031] The electrically operated telescopic component 6 uses an electric push rod. It is smaller in size, quieter, and more suitable for use in hospital wards.
[0032] The lower end of the electrically operated telescopic component 6 is provided with a spherical soft pad 7. This makes it softer and avoids damage to the bed surface.
[0033] The spherical pad 7 is made of rubber, providing better friction and preventing it from sliding on the bed surface.
[0034] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0035] This solution uses an electric telescopic component 6 to drive the lower end of the pedal 1 to swing. During the swing, the patient's foot can be extended relative to the lower leg, making it easier for the patient to exercise and resulting in better effects.
[0036] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0037] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
