[0014] Fig. 1 shows a conventional stand-type shoulder rotation exercise machine. FIG. 2 is a conventional wall-mounted shoulder rotation exercise machine FIG. 3 is a shoulder rotation exercise device according to the present invention. Specific details for implementing the invention
[0015] Further objects, features, and advantages of the present invention can be more clearly understood from the following detailed description and the accompanying drawings.
[0016] Before providing a detailed description of the present invention, it should be understood that the present invention is capable of various modifications and may have various embodiments, and that the examples described below and illustrated in the drawings are not intended to limit the present invention to specific embodiments, but rather include all modifications, equivalents, and substitutions that fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0017] The shoulder rotation exercise machine is designed for the rehabilitation of the shoulder joint, muscle strengthening, and improvement of athletic performance, with various advanced technologies integrated into each component. The frame forms the overall structure of the machine, providing stability and durability. It is designed to be optimized for the user's body type and range of motion, and supports the natural movement of the shoulder joint, allowing for height, angle, and position adjustments to suit a wide range of users. Lightweight yet high-strength materials such as aluminum alloy and carbon fiber are utilized, and the machine is designed in a modular fashion to facilitate easy component replacement, making maintenance and upgrades convenient.
[0018] The rotation axis and joints are key elements for implementing multi-axis rotational movement of the shoulder. Multi-axis rotation axes are designed to reproduce complex shoulder movements, and high-performance bearings are used to minimize friction and provide smooth movement, while limiting devices may be included to prevent excessive movement for user safety. Additionally, fluid pressure can be utilized to provide gentle and precise resistance to ensure smooth rotation; specifically, an electromagnetic braking device may be added to adjust the resistance range appropriately, especially when used for rehabilitation purposes.
[0019] The handle's position and angle can be adjusted according to the user's body type, arm length, and exercise intensity, and it is made of a material with anti-slip and shock-absorbing functions to provide stability and comfort.
[0020] Additionally, it is possible to accurately measure the user's movements using gyroscopes and accelerometers to collect data including rotation angle, velocity, and acceleration, and to analyze muscle usage and condition by measuring shoulder muscle activity during exercise using electromyography (EMG) sensors. By attaching sensors to the handles to measure heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation, a function to evaluate the user's physical condition can be added. Furthermore, this information can be transmitted to an external server via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi to store exercise data on a cloud server for long-term analysis. The stored user exercise data can be learned to generate AI-based personalized workout plans, and based on this data, a feature can be added allowing rehabilitation specialists or trainers to remotely monitor the user's exercise status and provide feedback.
[0021] Furthermore, through intuitive user interfaces such as a display, users can check their exercise status in real time and change settings. Visual feedback and voice guidance can also be provided on the screen to help users maintain proper posture. Additionally, various pre-designed exercise programs are built-in, allowing users to select programs based on their goals.
[0022] Hereinafter, specific technical details to be implemented in the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings.
[0023] FIG. 1 is a conventional shoulder exercise machine that is a stand type and is mainly installed outdoors, while FIG. 2 is an exercise machine fixed to a wall and is often installed indoors.
[0024] FIG. 3 shows a shoulder exercise device according to the present invention, characterized by the ability to adjust its size according to the user's arm length. More specifically, the rotational rail is divided into left and right sections. Here, the right rotational rail (100) is fixed to a wall fixing device (500), and the left rotational rail (200) is configured to move left and right on the wall fixing device (500). Accordingly, the left and right rotational rails may be combined, or an extension rail (300) may be inserted between the left and right rotational rails. Here, the extension rail (300) may be configured with various lengths. If the user has long arms, the left rotational rail extension rail (300) can be moved outward and assembled by inserting it between the left and right rotational rails. At this time, a rotational handle (400) is inserted into the groove of the rail and assembled. After assembly is completed, the user can hold the rotational handle and perform shoulder rotation exercises.
[0025] Additionally, although not specifically shown in the drawing, the rotary handle (400) includes a vibration generating unit that moves freely along the rail according to the rotation of the wheel and generates continuous vibration. The vibration intensity is designed to be adjustable according to the user's needs.
[0026] In another embodiment, an eyeball that generates vibration may be placed inside the rotary motion handle (400), and this eyeball can provide stable vibration along with the rotation of the wheel. In this case, the eyeball is made of a highly durable material and is designed to move along a specific track inside the wheel to generate a stable vibration of 60 pH, thereby minimizing physical impact and maintaining constant vibration even during use, ensuring the safety of the device and effectively transmitting vibrational movement to the user's muscles and tissues.
[0027] The shoulder rotation device according to the present invention can collect a user's body data by linking with a sensor or software. Through this, exercise intensity, time, and patterns tailored to the individual's condition can be automatically set. The customized exercise method can be provided when the user purchases the device, and the rehabilitation effect can be maximized based on continuous updates and continuous data collection.
