In general, blood flows through arteries, capillaries, and veins. During the flow of capillaries, substances necessary in the blood are diffused between tissues, and some of the unnecessary metabolites in the tissues enter the blood directly into the lungs or kidneys. It is discharged out of the body after passing through. If there is an abnormality in these circulations, it causes disorders in cells or tissues, and smooth life activities cannot be carried out. This is called blood circulation disorder, which is caused by functional and organic changes in the heart, blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, etc., which are directly involved in circulation, as well as qualitative and quantitative changes in blood and lymph fluid, while abnormalities in the endocrine or nerves that regulate circulatory function. It is also caused by

In order to prevent blood circulation disorders, a lot of exercise methods related to blood circulation have been developed. Among them, the ankle pump exercise is an exercise method based on the theory of ankle pumping exercise by Mr. Inagaki, a renowned Japanese non-medical natural healing authority.It is intended to relieve the lack of walking by lifting the leg and dropping the posterior Achilles tendon on the pumping roll by the weight of the leg Of course, it is an exercise that greatly contributes to the treatment of diseases by promoting blood circulation.

In such ankle pump exercise, after placing the pumping roll in the bedding, the exerciser must raise the leg and then fall. Therefore, exercisers with insufficient abs or weak lower body cannot perform several times and eventually give up. Therefore, the effect of ankle pump exercise is long-term. There was a problem that could not be sustained, and even if an exerciser supported by physical strength, when pumping exercise for about 10 minutes, he/she naturally sleeps, so many cases cannot continue pumping exercise as many times as desired.

Accordingly, an ankle blood circulation automatic exercise device that can automatically lift a leg so that an exerciser can obtain an exercise effect without directly lifting the leg has been developed, but the conventional ankle pump exercise device has a complex power transmission structure, so that parts are excessive. There was a problem 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 that the exercise effect was deteriorated due to insufficient lifting force to raise the cradle on which the user's ankle was mounted because the driving force could not be transmitted immediately.

It does not affect the lifting operation of the motor box 40 because it maintains a taut state that does not sag while doing so.

The ankle pump exercise device according to the embodiment of the present invention described above will be further specified through the description of the operation process below.

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 It should be explained based on (30).

First, as shown in FIG. 4, when the ankle of the user is placed on the ankle support 30 and the ankle pump exercise device is operated while the motor box 40 and the ankle support 30 are located at the bottom of the housing 10 As the motor 41 of the motor box 40 is driven, the driving gear 42 rotates, 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 and the motor box 40 rises to the top of the housing 10 as shown in FIG. 5, and accordingly, the locking projection 45 drawn out from the gear box 44 of the motor box 40 is ankle While supporting the lower end of the extension part 31 of the mount 30, the ankle rest 30 is also raised to the upper end of the housing 10 by pushing up.

Next, as shown in Fig. 6, when the locking projection 45 of the motor box 40 is inserted into the gear box 44, the extension 31 is not supported by the locking projection 45, 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 was raised due to the free fall of the ankle rest 30 is placed on the damper 21. It is bumped, and the user's calf collides with the sleeper 22, thereby performing an ankle pump exercise.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 8, the motor 41 of the motor box 40 rotates reversely 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 is then caught. The jaw 45 is pulled out from the gearbox 44 to prepare to raise the ankle rest 30, and then the ankle pump exercise is repeatedly performed by repeating the above process.

In FIGS. 4 to 8, it is shown that the lifting of each motor box 40 formed on the inner left and right of the housing 10 is reversed so that both ankles of the user alternately fall freely. However, each motor box ( 40) is operated so that both ankles of the user can freely fall at the same time by making the lifting and lowering, or each motor box 40 rises at the same time, but free fall with the ankle rest 30 at a time difference so that both ankles of the user have a time difference. It is also possible to variously select the time point of the ascent and free fall of the ankle rest 30, including operating so as to freely fall. Various operations by this selection are performed by a control algorithm stored in advance in the control unit.

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

In addition, it is also possible to operate in a state where the locking projection 45 of the motor box 40 is continuously pulled out from the gear box 44. Specifically, the motor box 40 is raised in a state where the locking projection 45 is withdrawn from the gear box 44 to raise the ankle holder 30 to the upper end of the housing 10, and then the locking projection 45 is When the motor 41 rotates reversely and moves to the lower end of the housing 10 while the motor 41 is not inserted into the gear box 44, the extension 31 of the ankle rest 30 Since the ankle support 30 does not fall freely, it falls by the drive of the motor 41 because it is in a state supported by the locking jaw 45, so that the strength of the impact applied to the ankle and calf of the user is less than during free fall. In this case, by adjusting the rotational speed of the motor 41, the falling speed of the ankle rest 30 may be adjusted to adjust the intensity of the blow applied to the ankle and calf of the user. In addition, it is also possible to operate so that the user's ankles and calves are not hit, but only up and down.

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 rotating by the operation of the motor meshes with the rack, so that the motor box with the drive motor is directly elevated. This simplifies the power transmission structure and simplifies the configuration for the advance and retreat of the locking jaw by allowing the locking jaw to be inserted and removed from the lower part of the extension of the ankle holder in order to elevate and descend the ankle holder. It has the effect of reducing the manufacturing time, reducing the manufacturing time, and 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 to raise the ankle rest, thereby improving the exercise effect.

Preferred embodiments of the present invention described above are disclosed for the purpose of illustration, and those skilled in the art who have 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. And additions should be seen as falling within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
