[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 A hand exercise device for elderly care includes a fixed box 1. The bottom of the fixed box 1 has a thumb groove 2. Two telescopic rods 3 are fixedly connected inside the fixed box 1. Each telescopic rod 3 is fitted with a compression spring 4. A slide plate 5 is fixedly connected to each telescopic rod 3. The slide plate 5 is located inside the fixed box 1 and slides within it. A handle 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the slide plate 5. A limit cover 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed box 1. The limit cover 18 slides within the handle 6, limiting the movement of the slide plate 5. The handle 6 has four finger grooves 7. The handle 6 has corresponding finger positions... A fixed connection ring 8 is provided. A circular groove 9 is provided on the side end of the fixed box 1. A rotating seat 10 is rotatably connected inside the circular groove 9. A fixed shaft 11 is fixedly connected off-center on the side end of the rotating seat 10. A circular ring 12 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed shaft 11. A connecting rope 13 is fixedly connected between the circular ring 12 and the slide plate 5. A circular seat 14 is rotatably connected to the side end of the rotating seat 10. The circular seat 14 is connected to the fixed box 1 by multiple screws. A motor 15 that drives the rotating seat 10 to rotate is fixedly connected to the circular seat 14. A battery that provides power to the motor 15 and a control switch that controls the operation of the motor 15 are installed at appropriate positions on the fixed box 1.

[0023] Specifically, the motor 15 drives the rotating base 10 and the fixed shaft 11 to rotate. When the fixed shaft 11 rotates away from the handle 6, the connecting rope 13 pulls the slide plate 5 into the fixed box 1. The slide plate 5 drives the handle 6 and multiple finger-limiting rings 8 to move. The handle 6 and finger-limiting rings 8 drive the fingers to move inward. When the fixed shaft 11 rotates towards the handle 6, the compression spring 4 pushes the slide plate 5, handle 6 and finger-limiting rings 8 to move. The handle 6 pushes the fingers to move outward, thus facilitating the back-and-forth movement of the elderly's fingers. This avoids people having to exert force to exercise, making it easier for elderly people with limited finger mobility to exercise, and improving its practicality.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The skateboard 5 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod 3 by the first screw 16, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the skateboard 5. The handle 6 is fixedly connected to the skateboard 5 by the second screw 17, which also facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the handle 6. A groove 20 is provided on the fixed box 1 at the end away from the circular groove 9. The side end of the groove 20 is connected to the inside of the fixed box 1 through the through groove 19, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the rotating ring. A transparent sealing plate 21 is fixedly connected inside the groove 20, which facilitates the observation of the position of the fixed shaft 11.

[0025] Specifically, since the skateboard 5 is connected to the telescopic rod 3 by the first screw 16 and the handle 6 is connected to the skateboard 5 by the second screw 17, it is convenient to disassemble the handle 6 and the skateboard 5. By setting the through groove 19, it is convenient to disassemble and assemble the rotating ring and to disassemble and replace the compression spring 4.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 A protective cover 22 is fixedly connected to the fixed box 1. The protective cover 22 covers the outside of the motor 15, making it easy to cover the motor 15. Two fixing straps 23 are fixedly connected to the protective cover 22, making it easy to fix it.

[0027] Specifically, by installing the protective cover 22 on the fixing box 1, the motor 15 is protected by the protective cover 22 to prevent the motor 15 from being exposed. Two fixing straps 23 are fixedly connected to the protective cover 22, which makes it easy to fix the device to the armrest of the chair. When the elderly are sitting, they can also fix it to their legs. The two fixing straps 23 can be connected together by Velcro or tied together, so that the device can be fixed in a position that is easy for people to hold and prevent the device from falling out of the elderly's hands.

[0028] In summary, when using the overall equipment: The motor 15 drives the rotating base 10 and the fixed shaft 11 to rotate. When the fixed shaft 11 rotates away from the handle 6, the connecting rope 13 pulls the slide plate 5 into the fixed box 1. The slide plate 5 drives the handle 6 and multiple finger-limiting rings 8 to move. The handle 6 and finger-limiting rings 8 drive the fingers to move inward. When the fixed shaft 11 rotates towards the handle 6, the compression spring 4 pushes the slide plate 5, handle 6 and finger-limiting rings 8 to move. The handle 6 pushes the fingers to move outward, thus enabling elderly people with limited finger mobility to exercise their hands. When the elderly need to exercise actively, the motor 15 is controlled to rotate, so that the fixed shaft 11 rotates to the side closer to the slide plate 5. At this time, the connecting rope 13 is in a slack state. Then, people press the handle 6 with their fingers to compress the compression spring 4, thus actively exercising their hands.

[0029] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred.
