Furthermore, the storage of this type of mirror therapy device is unstable, occasionally resulting in damage due to mirror shaking. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rehabilitation mirror device suitable for various body positions. This invention allows for flexible adjustment of the mirror's angle and direction to accommodate training of different limbs in different positions. Furthermore, it has good storage capacity, providing effective storage and protection for the mirror.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a rehabilitation mirror device suitable for various body positions, including a base, a rotating rod on the base, the rotating rod being formed by multiple support rods hinged end to end, a universal fixing mechanism at the end of the rotating rod, a connecting device fixed at the other end of the universal fixing mechanism, and a mirror connected to the connecting device; the universal fixing mechanism includes a universal rod hinged to the end of the rotating rod, the end of the universal rod including a ball joint; a universal fixing base is provided on the outer side of the connecting device, the ball joint being embedded in the universal fixing base; a universal fixing nut is threaded onto the outer side of the universal fixing base; a limiting groove is provided on the top of the base, the limiting groove fitting with the bottom of the mirror.

[0005] In the aforementioned rehabilitation mirror device applicable to various body positions, the rotating rod includes a fixed rod connected to the base, a first support rod hinged to the end of the fixed rod, a second support rod hinged to the end of the first support rod, a third support rod hinged to the end of the second support rod, and a universal joint hinged to the end of the third support rod.

[0006] In the aforementioned rehabilitation mirror device applicable to various body positions, the top of the base is provided with multiple limiting grooves.

[0007] In the aforementioned rehabilitation mirror device applicable to various body positions, the limiting groove has rubber strips on both sides, and the spacing between the rubber strips is less than the thickness of the mirror.

[0008] In the aforementioned rehabilitation mirror device applicable to various body positions, the connecting device is square and fixed at the center of the mirror.

[0009] In the aforementioned rehabilitation mirror device applicable to multiple body positions, the outer side of the universal fixing base is provided with four symmetrically arranged vertical cuts.

[0010] In the aforementioned rehabilitation mirror device applicable to various body positions, the vertical incisions are arranged in a cross-shaped symmetrical pattern.

[0011] In the aforementioned rehabilitation mirror device applicable to various body positions, the fixed rod is a telescopic rod.

[0012] In the aforementioned rehabilitation mirror device applicable to various body positions, the limiting groove is formed by two protruding limiting plates.

[0013] In the aforementioned rehabilitation mirror device applicable to multiple body positions, the base includes a caster wheel located at the bottom of the base, and a brake pad is provided between the top of the caster wheel and the bottom of the base.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The rotating rod of this utility model is connected to the mirror through a universal fixing mechanism and a connecting device. The rotating rod is composed of multiple support rods that are hinged end to end. The universal fixing mechanism at the end of the rotating rod can drive the mirror to rotate 360 ​​degrees. After rotating to the specified angle, simply tighten the universal fixing nut to fix the angle. The multiple support rods are connected by joints, allowing the support rods to drive the mirror to rotate 360 ​​degrees to adjust to the user's desired position, providing the user with multiple usage positions and convenience for the operator. At the same time, the top of the base has limiting grooves on both sides formed by two protruding limiting plates. There are rubber strips on both sides of the limiting grooves. The distance between the rubber strips is less than the thickness of the mirror, so that the limiting grooves fit and fix the bottom of the mirror. The connection of multiple support rods and the extension and retraction of the fixing rod allow the device to be stored in its entirety by rotation and retraction when not in use, and to limit and protect the mirror. This not only prevents the mirror from shaking, but also reduces the occupation of the ground and space, and improves the space utilization rate.

[0016] 2. The universal mounting base of this utility model is fixed to the outer side of the connecting device. The spherical connector is embedded in the universal mounting base. The outer side of the universal mounting base has four symmetrically arranged vertical cuts, which are arranged in a cross shape. A universal mounting nut is threaded onto the outer side of the universal mounting base. By rotating the spherical connector at the end of the universal rod within the universal mounting base, the mirror can be rotated to any angle. The four symmetrically arranged vertical cuts allow the spherical connector to better enter the universal mounting base, and the universal mounting nut can also better lock and fix the spherical connector.

[0017] 3. The base of this utility model is equipped with casters and brake pads. The casters reduce the burden on the operator, eliminating the need to lift the entire device; simply push it. When fine-tuning the position is required, adjustments can be made directly by slightly rotating the casters, without worrying about larger positional errors after lifting and lowering the entire device. The brake pads lock the wheels after the device is positioned, preventing them from moving around and eliminating the need for the operator to find additional objects to hold the wheels in place, thus providing convenience for the operator.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0026] Example: A rehabilitation mirror device suitable for various body positions, configured as follows Figure 1-4 As shown, the device includes a base 1, on which a rotating rod 2 is mounted. The rotating rod 2 is formed by multiple support rods that are hinged end-to-end, allowing the support rods to rotate the end of the device over a wide range to adjust it to the user's desired position, providing the user with multiple posture options and convenience for the operator. A universal fixing mechanism 20 is located at the end of the rotating rod 2, and a connecting device 3 is fixed to the other end of the universal fixing mechanism 20. The connecting device 3 is square and fixed at the center of the mirror 4, providing stability for the rotation of the mirror 4. The universal fixing mechanism 20 includes a universal rod 201 hinged to the end of the rotating rod 2, with a ball joint 202 at the end. A universal fixing base 203 is located on the outer side of the connecting device 3, and the ball joint 202 is embedded within the universal fixing base 203. Four symmetrically arranged vertical cuts 205 are provided on the outer side of the universal fixing base 203, arranged in a cross shape. A universal fixing nut 204 is threaded onto the outer side of the universal fixing base 203. The mirror 4 can rotate to any angle by means of the ball joint 202 at the end of the universal rod 201 rotating within the universal mounting base 203. The four symmetrically arranged vertical cuts 205 allow the ball joint 202 to better enter the universal mounting base 203, and the universal mounting nut 204 can also better lock and secure the ball joint 202. Therefore, the universal mounting mechanism 20 can drive the mirror 4 to achieve a 360-degree rotation. After rotating to the specified angle, simply tightening the universal mounting nut 204 will fix the angle. The rotating rod 2 includes a fixed rod 21 connected to the base 1. The fixed rod 21 is a telescopic rod. A first support rod 22 is hinged to the end of the fixed rod 21. A second support rod 23 is hinged to the end of the first support rod 22. A third support rod 24 is hinged to the end of the second support rod 23. The universal rod 201 is hinged to the end of the third support rod 24. Multiple support rods are connected by joints, allowing the support rods to rotate the mirror 4 360 degrees to adjust it to the user's desired position, providing users with multiple posture options and convenience for operators. The mirror 4 is made of acrylic, which is not only soft and lightweight but also environmentally friendly and non-toxic, offering good safety and convenience for users and operators. Furthermore, acrylic mirrors have good toughness and are not easily broken, reducing the frequency and cost of replacements due to breakage in daily use. At the same time, the smooth surface of the acrylic mirror does not easily attract dust and dirt; cleaning only requires wiping with a soft, damp cloth, making maintenance relatively simple.

[0027] like Figure 5As shown: The base 1 has limiting grooves 101 on both sides of its top. These grooves 101 fit into the bottom of the mirror 4 and are formed by two protruding limiting plates 102. Rubber strips are located on both sides of the limiting grooves 101, with the spacing between the strips less than the thickness of the mirror 4. This protects the mirror 4 and increases friction, keeping the mirror 4 stable within the limiting grooves 101. The combination of the limiting grooves 101 and the limiting plates 102 not only protects the mirror 4 but also allows the device to be rotated and stored when not in use. This prevents the mirror 4 from shaking, reduces the space occupied on the floor, and improves space utilization. The base 1 includes casters 11 located at the bottom. Brake pads 12 are located between the top of the casters 11 and the bottom of the base 1. The omnidirectional wheels 11 reduce the operator's workload, eliminating the need to lift the entire device; simply pushing it is sufficient. When fine-tuning the position is required, adjustments can be made directly by slightly rotating the omnidirectional wheels 11, without worrying about larger positional errors after lifting and lowering the entire device. Furthermore, the brake pads 12 can lock the wheels after the device is positioned, preventing them from moving around and eliminating the need for the operator to find additional items to jam the wheels, thus providing greater convenience for the operator.

[0028] like Figure 6 As shown: The hinge between the support rods rotates by the joint formed by the interlocking protrusions 5 at the ends of the support rods. To provide better stability, the device also has a through hole 51 on the protrusion 5. A through rod 52 is provided in the through hole 51. The surface of the through rod 52 is threaded. A threaded ring is provided in the through hole 51 at the bottom. After the through rod 52 passes through two through holes 51 in sequence, it engages with the threaded ring of the bottom through hole 51. Turning the switch on the through rod 52 can adjust the tightness of the joint to improve the support for the support rod and the mirror 4, making the device more stable and robust.

[0029] Workflow: When a user requires mirror rehabilitation therapy using this device, the operator opens the brake pad 12, pushes the device to the user using the universal wheels 11, extends the fixing rod 21, and moves the bottom of the mirror 4 out of the limiting groove 101. Then, the operator rotates the first support rod 22, the second support rod 23, and the third support rod 24 to the appropriate positions. Next, the operator rotates the universal rod 201 and the mirror 4 to completely cover the affected area in the user's field of vision and completely mirror the corresponding healthy area. Finally, the operator tightens the universal fixing nut 204 and closes the brake pad 12 to secure the device. After use, the user reassembles the third support rod 24, the second support rod 23, and the first support rod 22, loosens the universal fixing nut 204, rotates the universal rod 201 and the mirror 4, shortens the fixing rod 21 to insert the bottom of the mirror 4 into the limiting groove 101, opens the brake pad 12, pushes the device to the storage position, and then closes the brake pad 12.
