Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a massage stepper. Background Technology

[0002] Massage steppers, as a fitness device combining stepping exercise and massage functions, offer certain benefits for the rehabilitation training of the elderly. The low-impact exercise provided by steppers helps enhance the cardiopulmonary function and improve blood circulation, which is beneficial to cardiovascular health. The stepping motion strengthens lower limb muscles, especially the thigh and calf muscles, helping to improve leg strength and stability and reduce the risk of falls. Regular use of steppers can help maintain or increase joint flexibility and reduce joint stiffness, which is especially helpful for the elderly with mild arthritis. The vibration or roller massage function of massage steppers can promote blood circulation, relieve muscle tension and pain, and help muscles relax and recover.

[0003] Existing massage steppers only target the user's lower limb movements and cannot assist the upper limb movements of the elderly. Therefore, the applicant has made improvements to this. Utility Model Content

[0031] (Example 1)

[0032] See Figure 1-3 This embodiment of a massage stepper includes a frame 1, a pedal 2, a drive device, and a control panel. The frame 1 has synchronous rotating discs 3 on both sides. The drive device is located inside the frame 1 and drives the rotating discs 3 to rotate. The control panel is used by the user to operate and control the operation of the drive device. The rotating disc 3 is eccentrically connected to the pedal 2. The pedal 2 is provided with a handle 4.

[0033] Specifically, the grip 4 includes a grip bar 4-1 and a connecting rod 4-2. The grip bar 4-1 spans the pedal 2, and each end of the grip bar 4-1 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 4-2. The other end of the connecting rod 4-2 is rotatably connected to the middle of the pedal 2. When performing lower limb exercises, push the grip bar 4-1 forward; when performing upper limb exercises, pull the grip bar 4-1 back. Simply grip the grip bar 4-1. To make the grip more comfortable, a grip sleeve is provided over the grip bar 4-1.

[0034] A limit block 5 is provided on the side of the pedal 2, and the limit block 5 cooperates with the connecting rod 4-2. The limit block 5 is used to limit the pull-back position of the grip bar 4-1, so that there is a gap between the grip bar 4-1 and the pedal 2, which makes it easier for the hand to grip the handle 4.

[0035] The bottom of the pedal 4 is provided with a roller 6, and the frame 1 extends on both sides with a base plate to support the pedal 2. The base plate is provided with a groove 1-1, and the roller 6 cooperates with the groove 1-1. When the pedal moves, the roller 6 rolls in the groove 1-1.

[0036] The upper surface of the pedal 2 is provided with several protruding massage balls 2-1, which can provide a massage effect during exercise.

[0037] The frame 1 is equipped with handrails 1-2, which can provide support when performing upper limb exercises.

[0038] In this invention, the driving device drives the rotating disc to rotate at a certain speed, which in turn moves the user's lower or upper limbs via the pedal 2 or the grip 4. The grip 4 is mounted on the pedal 2, allowing the user to exercise their lower limbs while the grip 4 exercises their upper limbs. Users can selectively perform rehabilitation exercises, making the functionality more comprehensive.

[0039] (Example 2)

[0040] See Figure 4The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: in this embodiment, the side of the pedal 2 is not provided with a limiting block 5, but with an arc groove 2-2. The corresponding connecting rod 4-2 is provided with a protrusion 4-2-1 on the side facing the arc groove 2-2. The protrusion 4-2-1 cooperates with the arc groove 2-2. When the handle 4 rotates relative to the pedal 2, the protrusion 4-2-1 moves in the arc groove 2-2. When the protrusion 4-2-1 moves to both ends of the arc groove 2-2 in the length direction and is stuck, the handle 2 rotates to the limit position.

[0041] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
