Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a multifunctional smart footrest for toe movement and promoting lower limb blood circulation, including a support component 100 and a fixing component 200. The fixing component 200 is disposed on the support component 100. The inner cavity of the support component 100 is provided with a heat therapy component 300 for applying heat to the feet and lower limbs and a massage component 400 for massaging the feet and lower limbs. The massage component 400 includes a vibrating element 410 and a pressing element 420. Multiple vibrating elements 410 are disposed in the inner cavity of the support component 100, and the pressing element 420 is disposed on the support component 100. The inner cavity of the support assembly 100; the vibrating component 410 includes a vibration motor 411 located in the inner cavity of the support assembly 100 and at a key acupoint on the sole of the foot, and the output shaft of the vibration motor 411 is fixedly connected to a massage protrusion 412; the pressing component 420 includes a main airbag 421 located in the inner cavity of the support assembly 100 and below the calf muscle group, and at least three branch airbags 422 are sequentially connected to both sides of the surface of the main airbag 421 along its length direction, and a conduit 423 is connected to one end of the main airbag 421, a valve is installed on the conduit 423, and the air inlet end of the conduit 423 is connected to an external inflation / deflation device.

[0029] The support assembly 100 includes a foot support plate 110 and a leg support plate 120. A soft support 130 is fixedly connected between the foot support plate 110 and the leg support plate 120. The soft support 130 is made of silicone material to protect the skin of the sole of the foot and reduce pressure. A vibration motor 411 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the foot support plate 110. The vibration element 410 and the pressure element 420 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the leg support plate 120. A through hole for the catheter 423 to pass through is opened on the leg support plate 120. The foot support plate 110, the soft support 130 and the leg support plate 120 form a cavity for placing the heat therapy assembly 300 and the patient's lower limbs. By designing the support assembly 100 according to ergonomics, it can support the patient's feet and lower limbs, which helps to carry out rehabilitation treatment.

[0030] The foot support plate 110 is rotatably connected to the toe support plate 140 on the side away from the soft support 130 via a pivot. The outer surface of the toe support plate 140 is fitted with an elastic band 150. The two ends of the elastic band 150 pass through the connecting buckles on the leg support plate 120 and are folded and attached by Velcro. By rotatably connecting the toe support plate 140 and the foot support plate 110, and by utilizing the elastic force of the elastic band 150, the toe support plate 140 can be rotated synchronously when the patient's toes flex and extend, so that the patient's toes can naturally flex and extend when wearing the garment.

[0031] The inner wall of the toe support plate 140 is fixedly connected with four regularly distributed toe spacers 160. The toe spacers 160 are made of elastic silicone material. The toe spacers 160 are spaced apart from the patient's toes. The toe spacers 160 can not only naturally separate the toes, but also elastically deform under force when the toes move, so as to gently massage between the toes.

[0032] The fixing component 200 includes a first strap 210 fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the foot support plate 110. The free end of the first strap 210 passes through the connecting buckle on the foot support plate 110 and is folded over and attached by Velcro. A second strap 220 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the leg support plate 120. The free end of the second strap 220 passes through the connecting buckle on the leg support plate 120 and is folded over and attached by Velcro. The fixing component 200 enables a detachable connection between the support component 100 and the patient's lower limb. At the same time, the attachment positions of the first strap 210 and the second strap 220 can be appropriately adjusted according to the circumference of the patient's lower limb.

[0033] There are two second straps 220. One second strap 220 is located at the ankle of the leg support plate 120, and the other second strap 220 is located at the calf. The two second straps 220 can improve the connection between the leg support plate 120 and the patient's lower limb.

[0034] The heating assembly 300 includes a carbon fiber heating pad 310 placed within a receiving cavity. Multiple regularly distributed first heating elements 320 are disposed on the inner layer of the carbon fiber heating pad 310, located on the sole of the foot. Multiple regularly distributed second heating elements 330 are disposed on the inner layer of the carbon fiber heating pad 310, located on the calf. Both the first heating elements 320 and the second heating elements 330 are connected to an external power supply via a charging port. A surface-mount inductor is also installed on the inner layer of the carbon fiber heating pad 310. It should be noted that the working principle of the heating assembly 300 is similar to that of the existing assembly with publication number CN. The heating component in the electrothermal shock-absorbing intelligent positioning footrest disclosed in 221731089U is consistent with that of the first heating element 320 and the second heating element 330, which can be charged through the charging port. The first heating element 320 and the second heating element 330 are heated to the range threshold by electric heating. The surface-mount inductor can monitor the temperature of the carbon fiber heating pad 310 in real time to prevent the internal temperature of the carbon fiber heating pad 310 from being too high and causing damage to the patient's lower limbs. It can realize the function of intelligent heating. It is the prior art, so it will not be described in detail in this technical solution.

[0035] The carbon fiber heating pad 310 has a through hole 311 for the massage protrusion 412 to pass through, and the carbon fiber heating pad 310 also has a through groove 312 that is compatible with the main airbag 421 and the auxiliary airbag 422. Through the cooperation of the through hole 311 and the through groove 312, the massage protrusion 412, the main airbag 421 and the auxiliary airbag 422 can be provided with a space for movement, so as to ensure that the vibrating element 410 and the pressing element 420 can operate normally.

[0036] The first heating element 320 is spaced apart from the through hole 311, and the second heating element 330 is spaced apart from the through groove 312, so as to avoid mutual interference between the first heating element 320 and the massage protrusion 412, and between the second heating element 330 and the airbag 422.

[0037] The foot support plate 110 has a support pillow 500 attached to its outer surface by Velcro. The support pillow 500 has a triangular structure and can provide auxiliary support to the support component 100 when lying on the bed, so as to raise the lower limbs at different heights. The support pillow 500 and the support component 100 are detachably connected by Velcro, which is convenient for height adjustment and can be used separately.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The patient places their foot inside the carbon fiber heating pad 310, and the first strap 210 and the second strap 220 are fastened and fixed with Velcro. The first strap 210 and the two second straps 220 respectively position the arch of the foot, the ankle, and the calf. The toes are separated by the toe spacer 160. According to the actual support needs, the foot support plate 110 is fastened and fixed to the appropriate position on the support pillow 500 with Velcro. When the toes move, they can drive the toe support plate 140 and the toe spacer 160 to move synchronously, so that the toe support plate 140 rotates around the pivot axis. The elastic band 150 is stretched or contracted under force. Through the elastic recovery force of the elastic band 150, when the toes return to their original position, it can drive the toe support plate 140 to move back to its original state. The toe spacer 160 undergoes elastic deformation under force, which can gently massage between the toes, thereby promoting blood circulation in the toes. By activating the vibration motor 411, the output shaft of the vibration motor 411 drives the massage protrusion 4 12. Intermittent vibration promotes blood circulation in the feet. By opening the valve on the conduit 423 and activating the external inflation / deflation device, during inflation, gas is sequentially delivered through the conduit 423 to the main airbag 421 and the ventral airbag 422. During deflation, the gas in the ventral airbag 422 and the main airbag 421 is discharged through the conduit 423. Therefore, each inflation / deflation of the main airbag 421 and the ventral airbag 422 compresses the calf once, and this cycle repeats, thus promoting blood circulation in the calf. The first heating element 320 and the second heating element 330 are charged through the charging port, and the first heating element 320 and the second heating element 330 are heated to the threshold temperature range by electric heating. The surface-mount inductor can monitor the temperature of the carbon fiber heating pad 310 in real time to prevent the internal temperature of the carbon fiber heating pad 310 from being too high and causing damage to the patient's lower limbs. This allows for heat therapy while performing vibration massage, thereby enhancing blood circulation.

[0039] All parts not described in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
