Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of finger rehabilitation technology, and in particular to an auxiliary device for finger rehabilitation in elderly medical staff. Background Technology

[0002] In geriatric healthcare, finger rehabilitation focuses on slowing down age-related finger function decline (such as muscle atrophy, joint stiffness, and decreased nerve perception) through targeted training. It aims to compensate for damage to limb function caused by diseases or injuries, such as stroke, arthritis, and diabetic neuropathy. Physiologically, it maintains finger joint mobility, enhances muscle strength and coordination, and improves nerve perception, avoiding the "use it or lose it" phenomenon. In terms of quality of life, it helps the elderly rebuild their independent living abilities, such as "grasping tableware, buttoning clothes, and using mobile phones," reducing their dependence on others for care and allowing them to maintain a high degree of independence and psychological well-being in their later years.

[0003] Currently, the finger rehabilitation assistive devices used by elderly medical staff have high pulling resistance, making them difficult for older people to use. This high resistance not only fails to achieve the desired rehabilitation training effect but may also cause secondary finger injuries. Therefore, this paper proposes a finger rehabilitation assistive device for elderly medical staff to meet their needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an assistive device for finger rehabilitation in elderly medical staff, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary device for finger rehabilitation in elderly medical staff, comprising a frame, a hanging ring rotatably disposed within the frame, a hook attached to the hanging ring, a rubber band resistance rope installed at one end of the hook, and a finger sleeve detachably installed at the other end of the hook, a rubber anti-slip sleeve installed on the inner ring of the finger sleeve, an installation protrusion provided on the outer side of the finger sleeve, a lower clamping plate and an L-shaped mounting plate installed on the frame, an adjustable movable plate disposed within the L-shaped mounting plate, and contact strips installed on the lower clamping plate and the movable plate.

[0006] Preferably, a miniature hinge seat is installed inside the frame, and the hanging ring is hinged to the miniature hinge seat.

[0007] Preferably, the other end of the rubber band resistance rope is equipped with an installation block, and a fixing screw is screwed onto the installation protrusion and the installation block.

[0008] Preferably, a support rope is installed on the inner side of the frame and on the finger sleeve, a support sleeve is installed on the finger sleeve, and the support rope passes through the support sleeve.

[0009] Preferably, an adjusting screw is screwed into the L-shaped mounting plate, and the bottom end of the adjusting screw is rotatably mounted inside the movable plate.

[0010] Preferably, the movable plate has an annular groove, and a rotating ring is fixedly sleeved on the adjusting screw, the rotating ring being rotatably installed in the annular groove.

[0011] Preferably, a sliding sleeve is installed on the movable plate, and a guide rod is installed on the frame, with the sliding sleeve slidably sleeved on the guide rod.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention involves hooking the finger sleeve tightly with the fingers, and then slowly pulling the finger sleeve to bring the thumb and other fingers closer together. The pulling of the finger sleeve causes the rubber band resistance rope to lengthen. The resistance rope needs to overcome a small amount of damping to be stretched, which can exercise the finger joints without causing secondary damage to the fingers due to large damping, thus meeting the needs of the elderly.

[0013] This invention uses a lower clamping plate and a contact strip to hold the device in a suitable position. Then, by turning an adjusting screw into the L-shaped mounting plate, the screw moves downwards within the L-shaped mounting plate. This downward movement of the L-shaped mounting plate causes a movable plate to move downwards and press against the clamped object, thus pre-fixing the device in the appropriate position. During finger rehabilitation training, there is no need to hold or lift the device, making it convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Example

[0017] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides an auxiliary device for finger rehabilitation in elderly medical staff, including a frame 1. A hanging ring 2 is rotatably mounted inside the frame 1, and a hook 3 is attached to the hanging ring 2. One end of the hook 3 is fitted with a rubber band resistance rope 4, and the other end of the hook 3 is detachably fitted with a finger sleeve 5. A rubber anti-slip sleeve 6 is installed on the inner ring of the finger sleeve 5, and a mounting protrusion 7 is provided on the outside of the finger sleeve 5. A lower clamping plate 8 and an L-shaped mounting plate 9 are mounted on the frame 1. An adjustable movable plate 10 is installed inside the L-shaped mounting plate 9. Contact strips 11 are mounted on the lower clamping plate 8 and the movable plate 10. The device is pre-positioned in a suitable location using the lower clamping plate 8 and contact strips 11. Moving the L-shaped mounting plate 9 downwards causes the movable plate 10 to move downwards and press against the clamped object, thus pre-fixing the device in a suitable position. During finger rehabilitation training, there is no need to hold or lift the device, making it convenient to use. When using the product, the user can hook their five fingers tightly onto the finger sleeve 5. The rubber anti-slip sleeve 6 increases contact friction and prevents the fingers from slipping out of the finger sleeve 5. After hooking the fingers tightly onto the finger sleeve 5, the user can slowly pull the finger sleeve 5, bringing the thumb closer to the other fingers. Pulling the finger sleeve 5 will cause the rubber band resistance rope 4 to stretch. The resistance rope 4 needs to overcome relatively small resistance to stretch, which can exercise the finger joints without causing secondary injury to the fingers due to large resistance, thus meeting the needs of the elderly.

[0018] To ensure the finger sleeve 5 is flexible during finger exercises, a miniature hinge seat 12 is installed inside the frame 1, and the hanging ring 2 is hinged to the miniature hinge seat 12. When the finger pulls the finger sleeve 5, the position of the finger in space changes, and the hanging ring 2 rotates within the miniature hinge seat 12, making the finger sleeve 5 flexible and better adaptable to exercise needs.

[0019] To facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the rubber band resistance rope 4, an installation block 13 is installed at the other end of the rubber band resistance rope 4. A fixing screw 14 is screwed onto the installation protrusion 7 and the installation block 13. By removing the hook 3 from the hanging ring 2 and unscrewing the fixing screw 14 from the installation block 13 and the installation protrusion 7, the rubber band resistance rope 4 can be directly disassembled and replaced. Rubber band resistance ropes 4 with different damping coefficients can also be replaced, which facilitates the maintenance and use of the equipment.

[0020] To support the lower clamp 8, a support rope 16 is installed on the inner side of the frame 1 and on the finger sleeve 5. A support sleeve 15 is installed on the finger sleeve 5, and the support rope 16 passes through the support sleeve 15. Since the support rope 16 passes through the support sleeve 15 and is installed on the finger sleeve 5, it can support the finger sleeve 5 and make it easier for the user to hook and release the finger.

[0021] To drive the movable plate 10 to descend and clamp the equipment in a suitable position, an adjusting screw 17 is screwed into the L-shaped mounting plate 9. The bottom end of the adjusting screw 17 is rotatably mounted inside the movable plate 10. An annular groove 18 is provided inside the movable plate 10. A rotating ring 19 is fixedly sleeved on the adjusting screw 17 and rotatably mounted in the annular groove 18. The equipment is clamped in a suitable position by the lower clamping plate 8 and the contact strip 11. Then, the adjusting screw 17 is turned into the L-shaped mounting plate 9. The rotation of the adjusting screw 17 will cause it to move downwards inside the L-shaped mounting plate 9. The downward movement of the L-shaped mounting plate 9 will cause the movable plate 10 to move downwards and press against the clamped object, thereby pre-fixing the equipment in a suitable position. The rotation of the rotating ring 19 in the annular groove 18 can prevent the adjusting screw 17 from falling out of the movable plate 10.

[0022] To guide the movement of the movable plate 10, a sliding sleeve 20 is installed on the movable plate 10, and a guide rod 21 is installed on the frame 1. The sliding sleeve 20 is slidably connected to the guide rod 21. The sliding sleeve 20 can guide the movement of the movable plate 10 by sliding within the guide rod 21, so that the movable plate 10 can only move along the guide rod 21.

[0023] Working principle: The device is pre-positioned using the lower clamp 8 and contact strip 11. Then, the adjusting screw 17 is turned into the L-shaped mounting plate 9. The screw 17 rotates and moves downwards within the L-shaped mounting plate 9. This downward movement of the L-shaped mounting plate 9 causes the movable plate 10 to move downwards and press against the clamped object, thus pre-fixing the device in the appropriate position. During finger rehabilitation training, there is no need to hold or lift the device, making it convenient to use. When using the device, the user can hook their five fingers tightly around the finger sleeves 5. The rubber anti-slip sleeves 6 increase contact friction, preventing fingers from slipping out of the finger sleeves 5. After hooking the fingers around the finger sleeves 5, slowly pull on them to bring the thumb closer to the other fingers. Pulling on the finger sleeves 5 causes the rubber band resistance rope 4 to stretch. The relatively low resistance required to stretch the rubber band resistance rope 4 effectively exercises the finger joints without causing secondary injury due to excessive resistance, meeting the needs of the elderly. When the rubber band resistance rope 4 is fatigued and damaged after long-term use, the hook 3 can be removed from the hanging ring 2, and the fixing screw 14 can be unscrewed from the mounting block 13 and the mounting protrusion 7. The rubber band resistance rope 4 can be directly disassembled and replaced, or a rubber band resistance rope 4 with a different damping coefficient can be replaced. This facilitates the maintenance and use of the equipment. The equipment has a simple structure, is lightweight and easy to carry, and can be carried for training anytime and anywhere.

[0024] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
