[0030] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a portable ankle joint trainer, including a training base plate 1, a foot pedal 2 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the training base plate 1, a baffle 3 fixedly connected to the side of the foot pedal 2 away from the training base plate 1, a limiting device 4 provided on the surface of the foot pedal 2, and a cleaning device 5 provided on the side of the training base plate 1.
[0031] The specific settings and functions of the limiting device 4 and the cleaning device 5 will be explained below.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-4 As shown in this embodiment: the limiting device 4 includes two limiting plates 401, both of which are slidably connected to the side of the foot pedal 2 near the baffle 3. A control rod 402 is fixedly connected to the side of each limiting plate 401 that is away from each other. A connecting plate 403 is fixedly connected to the other end of the control rod 402. Two sliding grooves are formed on the side of the baffle 3 away from the limiting plates 401. A slider 404 is slidably connected to the surface of each sliding groove on the two baffles 3, and the slider 404 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 403. When the ankle joint trainer is needed, the limiting plates 401 can be moved by the control rods 402, thereby using the limiting plates 401 to restrict the position of the patient's foot. A movable plate 407 is installed on the side of the baffle 3 near the connecting plate 403. Two arc-shaped blocks 408 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the movable plate 407, and the sides of the two arc-shaped blocks 408 that are close to each other are both arc-shaped surfaces. When it is necessary to restrict the position of the connecting plate 403, the position of the arc-shaped block 408 can be adjusted by moving the plate 407, thereby using the arc-shaped block 408 to adjust and restrict the position of the connecting plate 403.
[0033] An arc-shaped plate 405 is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 3 near the movable plate 407. An adjusting screw 406 is threaded into the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 405, and the adjusting screw 406 is rotatably connected to the movable plate 407. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the movable plate 407, the adjusting screw 406 can be rotated to rotate on the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 405 and the surface of the movable plate 407, thereby adjusting the position of the movable plate 407. A stabilizing plate 409 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable plate 407 near the baffle 3. A stabilizing rod 410 is fixedly connected to the side of the stabilizing plate 409 near the arc-shaped plate 405, and the stabilizing rod 410 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 405. During the adjustment of the position of the movable plate 407, the stabilizing rod 410 slides on the inner wall of the arc-shaped plate 405, thereby limiting the rotation of the movable plate 407 through the stabilizing rod 410 and the stabilizing plate 409, ensuring the effectiveness of its position adjustment.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the cleaning device 5 includes an alcohol container 51, which is fixedly connected to the side of the training base plate 1. A cover plate 55 is detachably installed on the side of the alcohol container 51 near the foot pedal 2. A mounting plate 52 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the alcohol container 51, and a sponge plate 53 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 52. The alcohol container 51 allows for the carrying of disinfectant alcohol when using the ankle joint trainer, facilitating the disinfection of the foot pedal 2 using the sponge plate 53. A sealing plate 56 is fixedly connected to the side of the cover plate 55 near the alcohol container 51, and the sealing plate 56 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the alcohol container 51. A handle 54 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 52 near the cover plate 55. The sealing plate 56 improves the sealing effect of the cover plate 55 on the alcohol container 51, and the handle 54 allows for easy movement of the mounting plate 52.
[0035] Both sides of the alcohol container 51 are fixedly connected to fixing rods 58. Pressure plates 57 are slidably connected to the surface of the fixing rods 58, and the pressure plates 57 are slidably connected to the upper surface of the cover plate 55. Springs 59 are fitted onto the surface of the fixing rods 58, and both ends of the springs 59 are fixedly connected to the alcohol container 51 and the pressure plates 57, respectively. The pressure plates 57 restrict the position of the cover plate 55, and the springs 59 ensure a stable connection between the pressure plates 57 and the alcohol container 51.
[0036] Working principle: When using the ankle joint trainer, first place the training base plate 1, then step on the surface of the foot pedal 2. Move the control lever 402, causing the connecting plate 403 to drive the slider 404 to slide on the surface of the groove on the baffle 3. This moves the two limiting plates 401 closer to the patient's foot. Rotate the adjusting screw 406, causing it to rotate on the inner wall of the arc plate 405 and the surface of the moving plate 407. At this time, under the restraint of the stabilizing rod 410 and the stabilizing plate 409, the moving plate 407 drives the two arc blocks 408 to move closer to the two connecting plates 403 respectively, completing the adjustment and restraint of the position of the limiting plates 401. After that, the ankle joint trainer can be used for rehabilitation training. Through the setting of the limiting device 4, the position of the patient's foot can be restricted by the two limiting plates 401 when using the ankle joint trainer, thereby minimizing the possibility of the foot slipping when stepping on the foot pedal 2 and minimizing the risk of injury due to bumps.
[0037] After the patient finishes using the ankle joint trainer, move the pressure plate 57 so that it slides on the surface of the fixing rod 58, thereby moving the pressure plate 57 away from the cover plate 55, releasing the restriction on the cover plate 55 and the sealing plate 56, moving the cover plate 55 away from the alcohol box 51, grasping the handle 54 to move the mounting plate 52 and the sponge plate 53 away from the alcohol box 51, and then using the sponge plate 53 to clean and disinfect the foot pedal 2 and the limiting plate 401. After disinfection, move the mounting plate 52 closer to the alcohol box 51, and then move the cover plate 55 closer to the alcohol box 51, releasing the pressure plate 57. Under the action of the spring 59, the pressure plate 57 moves closer to the cover plate 55, restricting the position of the cover plate 55. When it is necessary to take the ankle joint trainer out, open the cover plate 55 and add enough alcohol to the alcohol box 51 for two disinfections. This can provide the necessary alcohol for subsequent disinfection of the foot pedal 2 without affecting the portability of the ankle joint trainer. With the cleaning device 5 in place, the surface of the foot pedal 2 can be cleaned and disinfected with alcohol from the alcohol box 51 after the patient has finished using the ankle joint trainer, thereby minimizing the growth of bacteria on the surface of the foot pedal 2.
