Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of physiotherapy devices, specifically to a physical therapy device for rheumatism. Background Technology

[0002] Rheumatism is a disease caused by prolonged exposure to cold and damp environments, leading to the accumulation of cold and dampness in the body. It can range from affecting walking to causing paralysis, severely impacting health and quality of life. Rheumatism is a common chronic disease that significantly affects patients' physical health and quality of life, and its treatment is typically lengthy and complex. Currently, various physical therapy methods are available for rheumatism, including heat therapy, electrotherapy, and magnetotherapy. Heat therapy primarily increases the temperature of the affected area through heat transfer, promoting blood circulation. However, traditional heat therapy often results in uneven heat distribution, making it difficult to maintain an effective temperature for extended periods, and it lacks precise temperature control, posing a risk of burns. Electrotherapy uses electrical stimulation to promote local metabolism; however, the current intensity is difficult to adjust precisely according to individual patient differences, easily causing discomfort or even adverse reactions. Magnetotherapy uses magnetic fields to improve physiological functions, but its therapeutic effect is greatly affected by factors such as magnetic field strength and duration of application, lacking stable therapeutic results. In addition, existing physical therapy equipment for rheumatism generally suffers from unreasonable structural design. Some equipment lacks a good heat insulation structure, resulting in rapid heat loss. Other equipment makes it difficult to create a stable treatment environment during use, affecting the treatment effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model changes the existing physiotherapy method and provides a physical therapy device for rheumatism. This application achieves the effect of dispelling wind and dampness by rapidly heating the patient in a local (or whole-body) sealed environment, opening up the sweat pores with negative pressure and absorbing sweat, and blowing warm air to blow away the sweat and moisture. This application has a simple structure and is easy to operate, making it an ideal device for people to treat rheumatism at home.

[0004] This utility model is implemented as follows: a physical therapy device for rheumatism is constructed, characterized in that the device is divided into upper and lower parts; the lower part is the base, which is the main body of the device; the lower part has a base, a motor cage, a motor base, a metal sleeve, fan blades, a base plate, an electric heating tube assembly, a foot pedal assembly, a rolled rim, a thermal skirt stabilizing column, a circulating warm air inlet, a main body base, and a motor; the upper part is attached to the main body base as an airtight thermal skirt, and the main body base is also equipped with a folding outer support and a folding panel; the upper part is an adjustable thermal skirt, the inner and outer surfaces of which are made of... The thermal skirt is made of waterproof, non-breathable synthetic fiber fabric with artificial cotton sandwiched in the middle. The hem of the thermal skirt has a 15cm wide elastic band, and the circumference of the hem is slightly smaller than the rolled-up edge of the main body to ensure that the thermal skirt can be tightly fastened to the rolled-up edge of the main body. The upper part of the thermal skirt has an elastic band. There is a circulating warm air outlet connector with a diameter of about 4cm at the front of the thermal skirt. This connector is a plastic tube sewn to the skirt and equipped with a control valve. There is an exhaust pipe on the side of the thermal skirt, which is plugged with a cork. In order to prevent the thermal skirt from collapsing under negative pressure, there are thermal skirt stabilizing columns to restrict the thermal skirt.

[0005] Furthermore, the base, also called the foot, is composed of three aluminum alloy tubes with a diameter of about 3cm and sealed at both ends, forming an equilateral triangle. The lower end is 3cm from the ground, and the upper end passes through the main body and is 25cm from the top of the main body. The three upper ends are the support points for the foot pedal assembly. The aluminum alloy tubes are sealed and welded to the bottom plate of the main body to ensure that the physiotherapy device can maintain negative pressure.

[0006] Furthermore, the motor cage is a metal cage, which is the carrier of the motor. It is located under the base plate and is welded and fixed to the base plate. The motor cage and the main body are two different spaces to ensure that the motor does not work at high temperatures. There is a circular motor base at the center of the bottom of the motor cage, whose inner diameter is the same as the outer diameter of the motor to ensure the stability of the motor. The front of the motor cage has a door frame for easy disassembly and assembly of the motor.

[0007] Furthermore, the motor is also an electric fan motor, with a metal sleeve on the armature shaft at its front end. During installation, the armature shaft and metal sleeve first pass through the sleeve hole reserved in the bottom plate of the main body, and then the metal fan blades are installed. The metal sleeve and the bottom plate are sealed by a rubber sealing ring. The motor is fixed in the motor base on the motor cage. The electric fan has two speeds: high and low. The high speed is for exhaust and dehumidification to ensure negative pressure in the physiotherapy device, and the low speed is for warm air circulation. The control switch of the electric fan is located on the panel.

[0008] Furthermore, the main body is a metal cylinder, with a circulating warm air inlet on one side of the lower part of the main body, a manual air pressure adjustment switch on the side of the warm air pipe inlet, and a downward-curving eave at the upper end of the main body to support the upper thermal skirt.

The electric heating tube assembly is fixed to the upper end of the base inside the main body, with a distance of 3-5cm from the fan blades.

[0010] Furthermore, the foot pedal assembly consists of a foot pedal pad and a foot pedal. The foot pedal pad is welded from metal and is circular in shape. Its outer diameter is the same as the inner diameter of the main body. The inside of the ring is supported by metal strips in a "well" shape. The opening of the "well" in the middle is slightly larger to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the electric heating tube assembly. The foot pedal pad is welded to the top of the three base feet 1 to support the foot pedal. The foot pedal is circular and about 3cm away from the electric heating tube assembly 7 below. The foot pedal has numerous irregularly arranged air holes to ensure smooth flow of warm air.

[0011] Furthermore, the folding outer support is a folding metal support welded to the outer wall of the main body, and it is triangular in shape with a pointed bottom end to ensure the stability of the physiotherapy device. The folding panel serves as a simple control platform, located on the front of the physiotherapy device, with the panel support on the main body.

[0012] This utility model has the following advantages: Through its unique structural design and functional configuration, this physical therapy device for rheumatism brings users many significant benefits. In terms of structural design, the upper and lower parts of the physiotherapy device are rationally designed. The lower main body features a base composed of three equilateral triangle aluminum alloy tubes, ensuring stability while maintaining a negative pressure environment inside the device through sealed welding, laying the foundation for efficient physiotherapy. The separate design of the motor cage from the main body keeps the motor away from high-temperature areas, extending its lifespan and reducing maintenance costs. In the foot pedal assembly, the special support structure of the foot pedal pad and the air hole design on the foot pedal not only facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the electric heating tube assembly but also ensures that warm air is delivered evenly and smoothly, enhancing the user's physiotherapy experience. The upper airtight heating skirt is made of waterproof, non-breathable synthetic fiber fabric with artificial cotton padding, and features an elastic band design to fit snugly against the main body, effectively reducing heat loss and creating a stable, warm space. The stabilizing column of the heating skirt prevents it from collapsing under negative pressure, ensuring the normal progress of the physiotherapy process. The configuration of the circulating warm air outlet connector and exhaust pipe allows users to flexibly adjust the internal airflow and pressure according to their needs, enhancing the personalization of the physiotherapy. In terms of functionality, the electric heating elements are connected in parallel and automatically controlled by a temperature control switch. Users can intuitively understand the temperature through the temperature display on the folding panel and precisely adjust it to a suitable temperature. Compared with traditional hot compress methods, the heat distribution is more uniform and can maintain an effective therapeutic temperature for a longer period of time. The motor has two speed settings: the high speed is used for dehumidification, quickly reducing the humidity in the treatment area and mitigating the adverse effects of a damp environment on rheumatism; the low speed is used for warm air circulation, promoting the circulation of warm air within the insulation skirt, acting on the affected area from all angles, and improving the efficiency of the treatment. The design of the folding outer frame and folding panel makes the physiotherapy device easy to store when not in use, saving space. The folding panel also serves as a simple control platform, integrating the fan control switch, temperature display, and other functions, making operation convenient and lowering the barrier to entry for users. In summary, this physical therapy device for rheumatism has been optimized in terms of structural stability, functional diversity, ease of operation, and safety of use, providing patients with rheumatism with an efficient, comfortable, and personalized physiotherapy solution, effectively improving the user's treatment experience and rehabilitation results.
