Thereby, when the step of the rehabilitation person moves to the end point of the step with the running belt, the running belt will stop running for the purpose of good use safety.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the step sensors may be one or more pairs, and different usage modes may be set through the control panel according to the needs of the user. For example, two pairs of step sensors may be arbitrarily set. The device senses a step start point and the step end point respectively, or sets a pair of step sensors to sense the step end point, and the other pair of step sensors are used to sense the start point of the step, or the position according to the step. To set two pairs of step sensors to sense the start point of the step and the end point of the step, respectively, to provide different rehabilitation effects.

For a detailed description of the structure, features, and advantages of the present invention, a preferred embodiment is illustrated and described in conjunction with the following drawings.

Referring to the first and second figures, a rehabilitation treadmill 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 20, a running platform 30, and four pairs of step sensors 40, 42, 44, 46. The number of the step sensors 40, 42, 44, 46 may be one or more pairs depending on the mode of use, which is merely illustrative and not limited.

The frame 20 has a base 22 and a handrail 24 for supporting the ground. The handrail 24 is disposed at the front end of the base 22 for the user to support.

The running platform 30 is disposed on the base 22 of the frame 20 and has a motor (not shown) and a running belt 32 connected to the motor. When the motor is started, the running belt 32 is driven by the motor.

Each of the step sensors 40, 42, 44, 46 is a light interrupter that is mounted on the base 22 of the frame 20 and is located on the left and right sides of the running belt 32, and is paired and spaced apart from each other. The arrangement of the signals is used to respectively sense a start point of a step or a step end point to generate a start signal or a stop signal.

The control panel 50 is disposed on the gantry 20 and electrically connected to the running platform 30 for the user to set various functions of the running platform 30, such as a power switch, running speed, running time, running distance, and tilt angle. In addition, the control panel 50 is electrically connected to the four pairs of step sensors 40, 42, 44, 46 for receiving the start signal or the stop signal generated by each pair of the step sensors 40, 42, 44, 46, respectively. The start signal and the stop signal are received to control the running belt 32 to start and stop running.

The above is the structural configuration of the rehabilitation treadmill 10 of the present invention, and the following various modes and features of the creation are described below.

When the user operates the control panel 50 to perform a fixed step mode, as shown in the second and third figures, the running distance of the running belt 32 is first set through the control panel 50 so that the running distance of the running belt 32 is equal to the user's step length. Then, a pair of step sensors (assumed to be the step sensor 40) are set to sense the step end point, and then it is possible to determine whether the running time of the running belt 32 needs to be set according to the requirements of the running, and after the functions are all set, the Start working. When operating, first step on one of the feet On the running belt 32, the running belt 32 is then restarted, so that the step moves backwards with the running of the running belt 32. When the step moves to the end point of the step, the step sensor 40 transmits a stop signal to the control panel 50, and controls The panel 50 will control the running belt 32 to stop according to the stop signal. At this time, the other foot can be stepped out and the running belt 32 can be started to perform the next action. The repeated operation can achieve the rehabilitation effect.

When the user operates the control panel to perform a fixed sensing mode, as shown in the second and fourth figures, one of the pair of step sensors (assumed to be the step sensor 46) is first set through the control panel 50 to sense the pace. At the beginning, then another pair of step sensors (assumed to be the step sensor 40) are arbitrarily set to sense the step end point. When the user steps on the starting point of the step with one of the feet, the step sensor 46 transmits a start signal to the control panel 50, and the control panel 50 controls the running belt 32 to start running according to the start signal. When the running belt 32 is moved and moved to the end point of the step, the step sensor 40 transmits a stop signal to the control panel 50, and the control panel 50 controls the running belt 32 to stop according to the stop signal. The starting point of the step can be stepped on again with the other foot, and the running belt 32 will be activated again for the user to perform the next action.

Please refer to the second and fifth figures. When the user operates the control panel 50 to perform an automatic sensing mode, firstly, a pair of step sensors (assumed to be the step sensor 40) are arbitrarily set through the control panel 50 to sense the pace. The termination point is then set to the other three pairs of step sensors (assumed to be step sensors 42, 44, 46) to sense the starting point of the step. In operation, when the user steps on one of the pace starting points, one of the steps The sensor (assumed to be the step sensor 44) transmits a start signal to the control panel 50, and the control panel 50 controls the running belt 32 to start operating according to the activation signal, and the step moves backward as the running belt 32 operates. At the end of the step, the step sensor 40 transmits a stop signal to the control panel 50, and the control panel 50 controls the running belt 32 to stop according to the stop signal. At this time, the user can step on any one foot with another foot. At the start of the pace, the running belt 32 will be activated again for the next action.

Please refer to the second and sixth figures. When the user operates the control panel 50 to perform a memory pace mode, firstly, one of the pedals is stepped on the sensing position of one of the pair of step sensors (assumed to be the step sensor 46). The sensing position of the step sensor 46 is set to the starting point of the step, and then the running belt 32 is activated through the control panel 50. When the step moves along with the running belt 32 to another pair of step sensors (assuming a step sensor) 40) When the sensing position is to be lifted up, the sensing position of the step sensor 40 is set to the step end point, and the control panel 50 receives the stop signal at the same time to control the running belt 32 to stop running. In this way, when the user step on the sensing position of the step sensor 46 next time, the running belt 32 will start to start, and when the step moves to the sensing position of the step sensor 40, the running belt 32 will stop running. In other words, the user can achieve the rehabilitation effect by repeatedly stepping on between the two sensing positions.

In summary, the creation of the rehabilitation treadmill 10 allows the running belt 32 to cooperate with the user's pace by the configuration of the step sensors 40, 42, 44, 46 and the different usage modes performed by the control panel 50.
