Ankle pump exercise equipment

The present invention relates to an ankle pump exercise device, and more specifically, a motor box having a built-in motor and a gear is formed, and a driven gear rotating by the operation of the motor meshes with a rack so that the motor box with a built-in driving motor is directly connected. The present invention relates to an ankle pump exercise device capable of improving the exercise effect by simplifying the power transmission structure by elevating and increasing the force for raising the ankle rest by directly transmitting the driving force of the motor.

In general, blood flows through arteries, capillaries, and veins, and while flowing through capillaries, substances necessary for blood diffuse between tissues, and some of the unnecessary metabolites in tissues go directly into the blood to the lungs or kidneys. is excreted from the body through If there is an abnormality in these circulation, it will cause a disorder in cells or tissues, and it will be impossible to lead a smooth life activity. This is called blood circulation disorder, and it is caused by functional and organic changes in the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels that are directly involved in circulation, as well as qualitative and quantitative changes in blood and lymph, while abnormalities in the endocrine or nerves that control the circulation function. is also caused by

In order to prevent blood circulation disorders, many exercise methods for blood circulation have been developed. Among them, the ankle pump exercise is an exercise method based on the ankle pumping exercise theory of Mr. Inagaki, a renowned Japanese non-medical natural healing authority. Of course, it is an exercise that greatly helps in the treatment of diseases by promoting blood circulation.

In this ankle pump exercise, after placing the pumping roll on the bedding, the exerciser has to lift the leg directly and then drop it. Therefore, in most cases, the exerciser with poor abdominal muscles or weak lower body fails to perform it several times and eventually gives up. There was a problem that could not be continued, and even an athlete with physical strength often fell asleep naturally after pumping for about 10 minutes, so there were many cases where the pump exercise could not be continued as many times as desired.

Accordingly, an ankle blood circulation automatic exercise device that can automatically lift the leg is being developed so that the exerciser can obtain the exercise effect without directly lifting the leg. There was a problem in that it was difficult to repair when a failure occurred due to an increase in manufacturing cost and a complicated configuration by using it, and there was a problem in that the exercise effect was decreased due to the lack of lifting force to raise the cradle on which the user's ankle was mounted because the driving force was not transmitted immediately.

Hereinafter, the operation process of the ankle pump exercise device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 to 8 , but the motor box 40 and the ankle rest located on the right side in the drawings of FIGS. 4 to 8 . (30) will be described as the basis.

First, when the user's ankle is placed on the ankle support 30 in a state where the motor box 40 and the ankle support 30 are located at the lower end of the housing 10 as shown in FIG. 4 and the ankle pump exercise device is operated, As the motor 41 of the motor box 40 is driven, the driving gear 42 is rotated, and the driven gear 43 meshed with the driving gear 42 and the rack 50 due to the rotation of the driving gear 42 . is rotated so that the motor box 40 rises to the top of the housing 10 as shown in FIG. The ankle rest 30 also rises to the upper end of the housing 10 by pushing up while supporting the lower end of the extension 31 of the holder 30 .

Next, as shown in FIG. 6 , when the locking jaw 45 of the motor box 40 enters the gearbox 44 , the extension 31 is not supported by the locking jaw 45 and is shown in FIG. 7 . As shown, the ankle rest 30 freely falls to the lower end of the housing 10, and the ankle rest 30 on which the user's ankle is placed due to the free fall of the ankle rest 30 is placed on the damper 21. As the user's calf collides with the sleeper 22, the ankle pump exercise can be performed.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8 , the motor 41 of the motor box 40 reversely rotates and the motor box 40 that has risen to the upper end of the housing 10 descends to the lower end of the housing 10 and then catches. The chin 45 is drawn out from the gearbox 44 to prepare the ankle support 30 to rise, and then the above process is repeated to repeatedly perform the ankle pump exercise.

In FIGS. 4 to 8 , the lifting and lowering of each motor box 40 formed on the left and right sides of the housing 10 is reversed so that both ankles of the user fall freely while alternately, but each motor box ( 40) works so that both ankles of the user can freely fall at the same time by making the lifting and lowering the same, or each motor box 40 rises at the same time, but the ankle rests 30 freely fall with a time difference so that the user's ankles are separated by a time difference It is also possible to select variously the timing of the rise and free fall of the ankle support 30, including operating to fall freely. Various operations by this selection are performed by a control algorithm pre-stored in the control unit.

In addition, it is also possible to exercise only one ankle using only one of the motor boxes 40 .

In addition, it is also possible to operate in a state in which the locking jaw 45 of the motor box 40 is continuously drawn out from the gearbox 44 . Specifically, in a state in which the locking jaw 45 is withdrawn from the gearbox 44, the motor box 40 rises to raise the ankle support 30 to the upper end of the housing 10, and then the locking jaw 45 is When the motor 41 is reversely rotated and the motor box 40 moves to the lower end of the housing 10 in a state in which it is drawn out without being drawn into the gear box 44, the extension part 31 of the ankle rest 30 is is supported by the locking jaw 45, so the ankle rest 30 does not fall freely, but falls by the driving of the motor 41, so that the strength of the blow applied to the user's ankle and calf is lower than during free fall. In this case, by adjusting the rotational speed of the motor 41, the falling speed of the ankle rest 30 can be adjusted to adjust the strength of the blow applied to the user's ankle and calf. In addition, it is also possible to operate so that the user's ankles and calves are not hit and only up and down as they are.

As described in detail above, the ankle pump exercise device according to the present invention forms a motor box with a built-in motor and a gear, and the driven gear rotates by the operation of the motor meshes with the rack so that the motor box with the built-in drive motor is directly raised and lowered. This simplifies the power transmission structure by doing this, and for the lifting and lowering of the ankle support, the locking jaw, which is caught and released at the lower end of the ankle supporter, is drawn in and out of the gearbox, thereby simplifying the configuration for the forward and backward motion of the locking jaw, thereby simplifying the manufacturing cost. It is possible to reduce the cost of production, shorten the manufacturing time, and have the effect of miniaturizing the device.

In addition, as the power transmission structure is simplified, the driving force of the driving motor is directly transmitted, thereby increasing the force for raising the ankle rest, thereby improving the exercise effect.

The above-described preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for the purpose of illustration, and those skilled in the art with the ordinary knowledge of the present invention will be able to make various modifications, changes and additions within the spirit and scope of the present invention, such modifications, changes and additions are to be considered as falling within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
