Description

The present invention relates to an autonomous gait device intended to perform walking exercise or rehabilitation indoors, and in particular, reading on a desk top board while performing walking exercise or rehabilitation walking, reading or rehabilitation of fingers. The present invention relates to a studyable indoor walking exercise and rehabilitation device.

Conventionally, running and treadmill indoor walking devices that are generally available on the market are intended for healthy people who run or walk while rotating the endless belt with the kicking force of the runner using the motor driven autonomous type and the inclination and are those the offer, in the household, such as described above in only the lower limb disabilities direction, things can be carried out one person yourself has not been provided.

  In addition, when the above-mentioned general commercially available motor-driven electric indoor walking device is turned on, the endless belt on the running surface immediately rotates and rides according to the running timing, or the endless belt is on the endless belt. The switch was turned on to run or walk.

In the conventional indoor walking device, there is no concept of walking and walking at the same time as reading and learning with the indoor walking device, mainly running and walking motion, rather it is dangerous to do walking while learning as such Therefore, there was no idea to combine a desk with an indoor walking device and use it for learning and reading, and there was no desk for the purpose of preventing blood flow disturbance of the foot due to continuing sitting such as learning or PC work.

  In addition, there is no concept that the indoor walking device can be used both as a walking device and a sitting and exercising device, and it exists individually like a bicycle rowing device and stands when the walking exercise is continued while learning the above. None of them were equipped with an exercise bicycle rowing device that allowed them to exercise while sitting and resting in response to their fatigue.

Further, as a prior art, a motor-driven electric indoor walking device, and a device that autonomously changes the travel of the endless belt as a device that matches the travel of the endless belt of the walking with the walking of the user, the rotational speed of the motor is An autonomous treadmill to be controlled has been proposed. (For example, see Patent Document 1)

  In addition, as a prior art related to walking rehabilitation training, a training apparatus that does not require an assistant for patient rehabilitation walking such as incompatibility of the lower limbs has been proposed. (For example, see Patent Document 2)

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-071216 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 05-277207

  In the conventional treadmill of Patent Document 1 described above, the position sensor 29 detects the front-rear position of the runner and the movement of the foot to adjust the speed of the endless belt 24 to the speed of the runner. The position is detected using a photocoupler array sensor 23 that captures the position by the movement of the knee of the runner.

This is a device that assumes a normal healthy person who walks and runs with prescribed clothes and form.For example, when a person with walking disabilities considers using it as a walking training device for rehabilitation, the clothes are sleepwear, etc. When used in loose clothing, or in situations where only a slow gait or movement of the foot is possible due to obstacles, the movement of the foot is hidden in the clothing, or the photocoupler array sensor 23 does not respond to slow movement, Therefore, the movement cannot be detected, and this autonomous treadmill cannot cope with the use condition , and the correspondence has been awaited.

In other words, what the photo coupler array sensor 23 captures the movement of the knee, such as in the loose-fitting clothing in the above example, because the knee is hidden not able to detect the movement of the knee, but also people with a walking disorder, leg movement and movement The amount of movement is small and the movement of the knee is small, and the movement of the knee is small, or it is almost impossible to catch these small movements accurately, so it can only be used as a treadmill for normal running and can handle it I was waiting.

  In the above-described autonomous treadmill and a general electric treadmill electric indoor walking apparatus, first, as an initial movement, the endless belt is rotated by a power switch, and riding or running at a timing according to the rotation. It is common to walk, and the initial movement of the proposed endless belt, which will be described later, starts with the movement of the user's own foot, and is based on the speed of running or walking to match the movement of the foot. Nothing was said to drive the endless belt, and a response was awaited.

  Furthermore, the above-described conventional training apparatus disclosed in Patent Document 2 prevents a damaged exerciser from being suspended from a guide and a safety cable suspended from the guide from applying a load to the damaged portion. Although an assistant is not required, the installation of the apparatus is complicated, and a training place is also required to have a dedicated space and area, and a response has been awaited.

  Furthermore, people with disabilities such as cerebral infarction who are incapable of being half-body or incapable of lower limbs must rehabilitate daily by walking and finger training after leaving the hospital. There are no rehabilitation devices that can be used easily by people with disabilities at home, and many people go out, for example, rehabilitated walking around their homes, but they usually go out without a helper. Rehabilitation is not possible, and it is a heavy burden on the person and the caregiver under the severe conditions of midsummer or midwinter, and it is a big issue how to proceed with rehabilitation after leaving the hospital, and the response is awaited. It was.

  In addition, finger rehabilitation is centered on holding and writing, and at that time, usually sitting and only rehabilitation, brain activity that simultaneously improves blood flow and gait rehabilitation by walking rehabilitation described later There is no device that can increase the rehabilitation effect due to the effect of the rejuvenation, and as will be described later, the blood flow of the foot due to sitting and performing finger rehabilitation worsens, there may be problems, and the improvement was awaited .

  In addition, as another problem mentioned above, in the past, when sitting for a long time in reading, learning or work, injuries called economy syndrome (complication of lower limb venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism), which has become a hot topic in recent years It has been reported that it is likely to occur, and in fact, New Zealand researchers have named these cases of computer users “e Thrombosis”.

  This is because if you sit for a long time and do not move your foot, the blood flow of your foot will be poor and you will be congested, which may cause blood clots in your blood vessels. Moving, clogged with blood vessels in the pulmonary artery, and symptoms of dyspnea due to venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism in the lower limbs, and the only preventive measure was to move the foot from time to time.

  The leg muscles are also called the second heart, and pumping action that pumps blood toward the heart is performed so that the veins are squeezed by the action of milking action that occurs when the muscles are moved. It has also been demonstrated that the flow rate increases and the blood flow to the brain increases.

  The effects of moving your feet are well understood, and many more effects have been reported due to the increased walking, and a group such as Dr. Arthur Kramer of the University of Illinois published an English science journal Nature (issued July 29) Announced the research results, and if you walk well, there is no “blurred symptom” and the work of the brain improves, especially the function that controls the frontal lobe improved August 15, 1999 Asahi Shimbun Sunday edition ・It is described in the endoscope column.

  In addition, an example experimented by Professor Yoshinori Miyazaki of the Department of Health and Sports Sciences, Tokyo University of the Arts, was broadcast on the theme of “walking” in the program “A Certain Great Dictionary” (broadcast on May 4) of the Fuji TV broadcast in 1997. In the test of three subjects who can memorize 10-digit numbers in 5 seconds, comparing the test results before walking and after walking, the test results for all three people were 6 points after walking. As a result, Professor Yoshinori Miyazaki often uses the tense muscles when standing or walking, and the brain functions become active when the tense muscles are used. Therefore, we conclude that it has a positive effect on memory.

  It is explained that the memory ability improved by this walking, the serotonin and blood flow after walking increased, and the effect of the serotonin hormone secreted into the brain during the walking and the blood flow increased. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that makes you feel calm, and has been shown to help relax, concentrate, and motivate the brain.

In addition, in the program from “Low Carb Diet” on January 9, 2005 to “Natto Diet” on January 7, 2007, the effects of diet and food have been discovered and modified. The reliability of data may be questioned, but it seems to be reliable from the production period and the content of the production, and it is not related to the program. It is clear that the content is well guessed.

  In addition, in this relationship between walking and brain, there are many episodes of people who thought about things while walking in history, including French thinker Rousseau, and read books, so that entertainers can learn scripts. From the story of learning while walking well, generally the effects of brain activation such as walking, concentration and memory are widely recognized.

  And, from the above, stimulation that simultaneously performs walking and finger rehabilitation leads to further brain activation, thereby improving the rehabilitation effect, leading to earlier functional recovery, and the disabled The significance of being connected to one's own confidence is great, and such a complex brain stimulation exercise is necessary.

However, the conventional electric treadmill autonomous indoor walking device is intended only for running and walking movement, and the belt is constantly moving at a constant speed. If you don't pay attention to your feet at all times, it's unstable and it's dangerous to walk as it is, it can't be used, and there is no desk top board, so you can work while studying, reading or working on your computer while walking There has been a need for a device for running the endless belt according to the amount that the user's own foot can be moved forward, which cannot be done at the same time, and that such a thing can be done safely and simultaneously.

In addition, using a device that rotates the endless belt as you walk, if you continue to work for a long time, such as learning, reading, or working on a computer while walking or rehabilitating your feet and hands at the same time, your feet get tired more than that effect. However, the work such as learning, reading or working on the personal computer is only for a short time, and the rehabilitation of the feet and hands cannot be performed for a long time, and a device that can be used for a long time while walking, sitting or resting has been awaited.

  As described above, learning while walking or rehabilitating feet and hands can be effectively studied or rehabilitated by the concentration of brain activity, and has a healthy aspect of improving blood flow. In addition, due to the lifestyle that does not move in recent years, the obesity tendency has been screamed for a long time, and in addition, learning and computer input work, such as spending a long time while the party is sitting, problems such as health of the stationary lifestyle Although the point was pointed out as described above, a device that would solve the problem was not proposed, and it had been a long time.

The present invention provides a body holding structure for preventing overturning while providing a handrail portion having a predetermined height on both sides of an indoor walking device in an electric indoor walking device as a means for effectively achieving the above-described problems. A table top plate provided with a table top plate at a predetermined position in front of the hand rail portion, and a saddle and a pedal to be seated. By providing at a predetermined position on the indoor walking device so that it can be stored in the lower part ,
Safe walking rehabilitation for people with disabilities in the lower limbs, learning on the tabletop, reading or working on computers, rehabilitating hands and fingers, walking and sitting and riding bicycles for a long time, We are going to use it according to our physical strength .

The present invention has beneficial effect is obtained by the above-mentioned solutions, in particular, an endless belt driven by a motor of the solutions, as the walking condition of the walker on the endless belt can be detected, the A photocoupler array sensor that detects the position of the foot on the endless belt, a capacitance, and a pressure sensor position detection sensor are provided below the endless belt in the form of a matrix of vertical and horizontal coordinates so that the movement of the pedestrian's foot An electric indoor walking device having a motor for driving an endless belt based on a signal of a corresponding position detection sensor and a motor control device for controlling the rotation speed of the motor and an arithmetic control device for calculating a control amount to be applied to the motor control device. A handrail portion having a predetermined height on both sides of the indoor walking device;
Providing a tabletop plate at a predetermined position on the front side of the handrail portion while supporting the body-holding structural member for preventing overturning on the handrail portion;
By providing a bicycle riding device for exercise of a rotational load device having a saddle and a pedal to be seated at a predetermined position on the indoor walking device so as to be housed in the lower part of the table top board ,
The amount and speed of movement of the endless belt can be adjusted according to the walking state in which the pedestrian's foot moves forward, so that the endless belt advances by the distance that the user puts the foot forward, and it matches the movement of the foot. By running the endless belt, you can walk safely to your own pace in an unconscious state without paying attention to walking on the endless belt, especially by learning or working or walking while walking You can concentrate on the rehabilitation of your feet, and you can demonstrate the effect even more.

  In other words, while focusing on writing and reading activities such as reading or learning as described above, attention to walking is greatly reduced, and even in such a lowered state, the feet are unconsciously moved forward. The endless belt runs in conjunction with the user's footsteps by detecting the amount, and by controlling the feed amount of the endless belt, it does not require caution in walking and can be used safely even when walking unconsciously From this, it is possible to concentrate on the writing operation such as learning or reading and the reading operation such as a book, and simultaneously perform safely without being conscious.

In addition, for persons with disabilities who have suffered limb injuries due to cerebral infarction, etc., for indoor walking training for people who must rehabilitate daily by walking and finger training after leaving hospital, Since the endless belt runs in conjunction with it, it can follow a small amount of movement like a pedestal and can be used safely.

Further, by providing the desk top plate to the front side position of the indoor walking device, while rehabilitation disabilities of legs relating limbs, move the objects on the desk top plate is a rehabilitation of the fingers, can you write a letter, by performing the rehabilitation of rehabilitation walking and hand finger at the same time, complex stimulation as a rehabilitation leads to brain activity, by that, lead to even more early functional recovery, also a healthy person is Learning or reading while walking improves your concentration and memory as described above, so you can have both reading and learning effects and exercise effects, and also use your computer or work for a long time. However , as described above , economy syndrome can be prevented.

  This is because walking increases the blood flow throughout the body, thus increasing the blood flow to the brain, and the stimulation of walking increases the secretion of the neurotransmitter serotonin. The action of serotonin relaxes and concentrates on the brain. By making you feel relaxed and motivated, you can get early functional recovery by the above-mentioned learning and rehabilitation effects by activating the brain, and you can also prevent economy syndrome caused by sitting and not moving.

That, is learning and reading, such as a desk top plate to allow provided while walking, by walking with such learning and reading at the desk, obtained learning effect and rehabilitation effect by the above-described brain activation, further Conventionally, the economy syndrome that can be caused by sitting for a long time without moving the foot can be prevented.

In addition, by providing handrails with a predetermined height on both sides of the indoor walking device and supporting the body-holding structural member for preventing falls to the handrails, walking rehabilitation for persons with lower limb disabilities is safe Can be rehabilitated at their own pace without an attendant from the start, and even if there is no helper, rehabilitation can be tackled. The recovery will be accelerated in proportion to the amount of, and the rehabilitation effect can be brought out.

In addition, a bicycle loader for exercise of a rotational load device having a saddle and a pedal for sitting is provided at a predetermined position on the indoor walking device so that it can be stored in the lower part of the tabletop so that learning or reading can be performed while walking. Sometimes it takes a long time, and if you keep walking, you can sit on the bicycle and rest your feet while you are sitting on the bicycle. Can be used for a long time, such as walking, sitting and cycling, and learning or reading while exercising according to your physical strength improves concentration and memory, so reading and learning efficiency In addition, the above-mentioned economy syndrome can be prevented even if work or learning such as a personal computer is used for a long time.
Therefore, the present invention can be used more safely and effectively in accordance with each purpose of use, and thus has a remarkable effect in practice.

  The driving device 3 includes a motor 9 and its control circuit 10, and rollers 11, 11 provided before and after the support frames 4, 4 of the indoor walking device 1 are used together with the endless belt 2 by the motor 9. It is driven to rotate.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the endless belt 2 is endless while sliding on the traveling support plate 12 between the left and right support frames 4 and 4 while circling the lower portion of the lower support plate 13. The vehicle travels, and a position detection sensor 14 is provided below the travel support plate 12.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the position detection sensor 14 forms holes 15, 15,... In the traveling support plate 12 at positions corresponding to the predetermined positions of the sensor elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e. The sensor elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, and 14e are disposed in the holes 15, 15,..., Respectively, and are arranged so that the positions of the walking legs 16, 16 can be detected at the respective positions. ing.

Each of the sensor elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, and 14e is a pressure sensor that detects a change in pressure when it is stepped on the legs 16 and 16 via the endless belt 2, or a switch that switches directly according to the pressure. Alternatively , the position of the foot is detected , such as a capacitance sensor that detects a change in capacitance with the foot, or a photocoupler array sensor that detects the reflection from the foot by transmitting the light with the endless belt 2 being transparent.

The sensor elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, and 14e are arranged in a matrix so as to be arranged at the intersections of the vertical and horizontal coordinates shown in FIG. It is arranged.

  Thus, the indoor walking apparatus 1a of another embodiment shown in FIG. 5 is the above-described indoor walking apparatus 1 provided with a body holding structure member 18, and a pedestrian is provided with a safety support auxiliary bar 17 on the handrails 5 and 5. A safety support saddle 18c having a waist belt 18a and a suspension belt 18b is provided as a body-holding structural member 18 to prevent the pedestrian from falling down as a body-holding structural member 18, and the safety support auxiliary bar 17 and handrail. 5 and 5 are provided in a suspended manner on the suspension rings 19 and 19, and the pedestrian's crotch is held so as to be supported by the safety support saddle 18c to prevent falling.

In addition, the safety support auxiliary bar 17 is provided so that a handicapped person can apply his / her body in the forward direction or grip it in the forward direction, and is provided with a protection member such as a cushion material on the surface in a bar shape and one handrail. 5 so that it can be accommodated in a direction parallel to 5.
In addition, a similar safety support auxiliary bar 17 may be provided on the rear side to prevent instability on the rear side, but the illustration is omitted.

  Furthermore, the indoor walking apparatus 1b of another embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is provided by providing the above-described indoor walking apparatus 1 with an exercise bicycle rowing apparatus 20, and the bicycle rowing apparatus 20 is provided on the bottom surface of the tabletop board 6 described above. It is supported in a suspended manner so as to be swingable and storable by a support member 21 provided in the section.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the bicycle rowing apparatus 20 has substantially the same function as a commercially available one having a saddle 22 for sitting, a backrest 23, a pedal 24 for applying a rotational load, and the like. By sitting and rowing the pedal 24, it is possible to perform the rowing exercise while sitting and resting while sitting and resting while standing and rowing and the standing fatigue during walking proposed by the present application.

  Therefore, when the bicycle rowing apparatus 20 is used, as shown in FIG. 6, it is placed on the endless belt 2 of the indoor walking apparatus 1 and used in substantially the same manner as the conventional one. By swinging back and forth like e, fatigue of long-time learning or rehabilitation is relieved by protecting the waist and stretching effect.

Further, when standing and walking, the bicycle rowing apparatus 20 is stored forward, and the storage is bent from the pivoting portion 25 shown in FIG. 6 in the direction of arrow a in the figure and in the direction of arrow c.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 7, the control circuit 10 of the drive device 3 detects sensor elements 14a and 14b of the position detection sensor 14 that detects that the positions of the feet 16 and 16 walking on the endless belt 2 have changed. , 14c, 14d, and 14e, and an acceleration calculation circuit 26 that calculates the speed of the change and a behavior extraction calculation control circuit 27 calculate a control amount to be applied to the motor control circuit 28 and control the control amount. The amount of training and the set amount of the training pattern are calculated from the operation panel device 7 by the calculation control circuit 29, and a control signal is applied to the motor control circuit 28 for driving and controlling the motor 9 according to the calculation amount command.

  Then, the rotation speed of the motor 9 is detected by the motor rotation speed detection circuit 30, and the signal is fed back to the motor control circuit 28 to perform optimum rotation drive.

  The set amount of the training pattern determines the upper limit value of the movement of the foot 16 for each use, and for example, when using the bicycle rowing apparatus 20, the endless belt 2 is traveled so as to travel at a constant speed or less. In the normal exercise mode, the running of the endless belt 2 is controlled from the slow to the running speed according to the walking speed. In the reading learning mode, the running of the endless belt 2 is set slowly to a certain speed or less. Even if you try to walk faster, the speed is limited so that the endless belt 2 does not get any faster. In the rehabilitation mode, safety is emphasized, and the endless belt 2 runs slowly according to the degree of rehabilitation. It is a set amount that is controlled by controlling the running below the mode.

  According to the set amount of the training pattern as described above, it can be used as described above more safely and effectively corresponding to each purpose of use, and it can be used as the sensor elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d. , 14e makes it possible by accurately capturing the position of the foot 16.

  Thus, when the indoor walking apparatus 1 is now used, as shown in FIG. 1, first, the user rides on a predetermined position on the endless belt 2 and turns on the power from the operation panel 7, so that the running of the endless belt 2 enters a standby state. By moving the foot 16 forward, the endless belt 2 travels by the advanced amount.

  2 and 3, the sensor 16a, 14b, 14c, 14d, and 14e of the position detection sensor 14 causes the foot 16 to move to a position corresponding to the foot 16, for example, the position of the sensor elements 14b and 14c in FIG. Is detected, and the driving device 3 of the motor 9 is controlled by the control system described above to perform optimum motor driving, and the endless belt 2 moves backward by the moving amount and moving speed. The endless belt 2 runs according to the movement of the foot 16 of the pedestrian.

  For the traveling, each sensor element 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, 14e shown in FIG. 3 has a position detection sensor at which position and time when the foot 16 is released after the foot 16 is moved forward. The movement amount and movement speed of the endless belt 2 are appropriately controlled by the motor control circuit 28 based on the signal of whether 14 is entered (11b and 14c in the figure).

  As described above, since it is possible to prevent the brain activation effect of blood circulation by exercise with exercise controlled appropriately in accordance with walking and the elimination of exercise deficiency and the above-mentioned blood flow disturbance due to continuing sitting, Even if a book or the like is placed on the tabletop 7 and concentrated on reading or writing, etc., reading, learning and personal computer work can be effectively used without anxiety while walking without paying attention to walking.

  From the above, the indoor walking device 1 can be used as a standing desk because it can be used as a desk, in addition to the functions of walking and running as exercise equipment for healthy people. For long-term use, you can sit and use as a desk for cycling.

Also, when used for walking and finger training such as rehabilitation for the handicapped, walk training with handrails 4 and 4 or writing with a pen etc. on the tabletop 7 as finger rehabilitation In addition, the body holding structural member 18 is used to perform walking rehabilitation or bicycle rowing according to the degree of involvement of the obstacle and the assistant.

Such a use is possible because the indoor walking apparatus 1 is provided with the table top plate 7 and the position detection sensor 14 for accurately detecting that the positions of the walking legs 16 and 16 have changed, and the position detection sensor 14. The endless belt 2 is safely driven by the drive unit 3 and the control circuit 10.

In the above embodiment, the sensor elements 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, and 14e of the position detection sensor 14 are used. However, the movement of the foot, for example, the movement of the foot from the toe to the heel is accurately detected somewhere. as long as it can detect the, also relatively etc. heels near, attached toe portion footfall leading to the heel can be confirmed, the magnet directly or sole like the heel near the example foot, the position of the above-described embodiment The detection sensor 14 may be used by changing the Hall element of the magnetic sensor at a predetermined interval and appropriately changing the movement of the leg magnet so as to be detected by the Hall element.
