Description

Standing-type passive exercise equipment

The present invention relates to a standing-type passive exercise apparatus for training the muscle strength of the lower limbs.

Japanese registered utility model No. 3112751 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-253700 disclose a conventional exercise device for training the muscle strength of the lower limbs. A conventional stepping exercise apparatus is an instrument that can easily train a lower limb at home. A conventional stepping exercise apparatus includes a left foot support base and a right foot support base, and includes a spring, an air cylinder, and the like. The user uses the stepping exercise device by placing the left foot and the right foot of the user on the left foot support base and the right foot support base, respectively, and raising and lowering the left foot and the right foot alternately. By using such a stepping exercise device, the user can perform an exercise similar to walking, and thus the user can promote health.

However, the conventional stepping exercise device requires the user to step on the foot support. Conventional stepping exercise equipment involves bending and stretching of the knee joint. Therefore, it is difficult for a person who has hurt a knee joint or an elderly person to use a conventional stepping exercise device. Moreover, the conventional stepping exercise device needs to exercise actively, and it is necessary to make an effort to continue the exercise. Moreover, since it is a simple up-and-down motion, there is also a difficulty that it is not interesting and therefore does not last long.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a standing-type passive exercise apparatus that can train by balancing the balance of the body and the muscular strength of the lower limbs by a passive movement involving up and down movements of both legs.

In order to solve the above-described problems, the standing type passive exercise apparatus of the present invention includes a left foot support base, a right foot support base, and a drive device. The left foot support base and the right foot support base are provided for placing the left and right feet of the user. The drive device is configured to move the left foot support base and the right foot support base in association with each other. The features of the present invention are that the drive mechanism includes at least one of a horizontal motion mechanism or a rotation mechanism, and the standing-type passive motion apparatus further includes a vertical motion mechanism. The horizontal movement mechanism is configured to give horizontal movement to the left foot support base and the right foot support base. The rotation mechanism is configured to give the left foot support base and the right foot support base a rotation that moves about an axis along the horizontal direction. The vertical movement mechanism is configured to move the left foot support base and the right foot support base in the vertical direction in accordance with horizontal movement or rotation.

In this case, while the user is standing on the left foot support base and the right foot support base, the left and right feet can be moved horizontally by the horizontal movement mechanism or rotated about the horizontal axis. By moving, the ankle joint can be flexibly exercised dorsiflexively. In addition, since the user's weight shift occurs due to horizontal slide movement and rotation, the vertical movement mechanism causes the left foot support base and the right foot support base to move up and down in association with the horizontal movement mechanism or the rotation mechanism, It is possible to perform a three-dimensional balance exercise in which the weight is firmly applied to the foot support while the left and right thighs are alternately raised and lowered. In addition, balance exercise that swings the body left and right due to balance loss during exercise makes it possible to perform balance training, weight support training with one leg and strength training of the lower limbs at once, so that you can train without getting tired . In addition, since it is a three-dimensional compound motion that includes vertical movements rather than planar movements, it can increase the load on the lower limbs, and in addition, it can be moved in three dimensions, accompanied by bending and stretching of the knee. Because there is no, it can train the muscles of the lower limbs overall without damaging the knee joint.

The drive device is preferably configured to interlock the left foot support base and the right foot support base.

The vertical movement mechanism preferably includes vertical drive means. The vertical drive means is configured to move the left foot support base and the right foot support base in the vertical direction, and the vertical drive means changes the height of the left foot support base relative to the height of the right foot support base. It is configured to let you.

In this case, the seesaw motion can be alternately and vertically moved alternately on the left foot support base and the right foot support base.

It is preferable that the left foot support base and the right foot support base rotate around an axis in the vertical direction with respect to the horizontal plane.

Alternatively, the standing type passive motion apparatus further includes a rotating disk, and the rotating disk has a rotation axis perpendicular to a horizontal plane, and is configured to rotate around the rotation axis. The left foot support base and the right foot support base are attached to the turntable and configured to rotate with the rotation of the turntable, and the rotation axis is between the left foot support base and the right foot support base. It is preferable to be located at.

In this case, the muscles of the lower limbs and lower limbs, particularly the adductor muscle group, can be stimulated in a multifaceted manner by twisting the upper limbs and lower limbs, and the muscle strength can be strengthened more efficiently.

The vertical drive means is preferably configured to move the left foot support base and the right foot support base downward as the left foot support base and the right foot support base move forward from the rear by a horizontal movement mechanism.

In this case, the left foot support base and the right foot support base, which are lowered while moving forward, can easily gain weight, and balance training can be performed more effectively.

When the left foot support base or the right foot support base is rotated from the toe-down inclination to the toe-up inclination by the turning mechanism, the vertical drive means is configured to move the left foot support base or the right foot support base in synchronization with the toe up inclination of the foot support base. It is preferable to displace downward.

In this case, it becomes easier to put weight on the left foot support base or right foot support base that descends with toe-up inclination, and the muscle on the front of the thigh can be contracted at the same time because the weight is applied to the rear side of the knee. The dorsiflexion movement of the ankle joint can be performed more effectively.

When the left foot support base or the right foot support base is rotated from the toe-up inclination to the toe-down inclination by the turning mechanism, the vertical drive means is configured to move the left foot support base or the right foot support base in synchronization with the toe down inclination of the foot support base. It is preferable to displace downward.

In this case, it becomes easier to put weight on the left foot support base or right foot support base that falls with the toe-down slope, and the weight on the front side of the knee at this time can also contract the muscles behind the thigh at the same time, The ankle joint can bend more effectively.

Further features of the present invention and its effects will be more clearly understood from the following best mode for carrying out the invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.

The passive exercise device 5 of the present invention includes a left foot support 1 and a right foot support 2 on which the left and right feet A1 and A2 of the user are placed, and a drive device that moves the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 in association with each other. And the drive device has at least one of a horizontal movement mechanism or a mechanism for rotating about a horizontal axis 3 and is associated with the horizontal movement or rotation so as to be associated with the left foot support. 1 and a right foot support base 2 are each provided with a vertical movement mechanism for moving in the vertical direction B.

FIGS. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of a standing-type passive motion apparatus 5. FIG. 1 is a schematic explanatory view in which the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 are movable up and down, respectively. FIG. 3 is a schematic explanatory diagram in which the left foot support base 1 and the right foot support base 2 can be moved up and down by means of a vertically movable means 13 that is a vertically moving mechanism. FIG. 3 has both a horizontal slide mechanism 11 and a vertically movable means 13. It is a schematic block diagram of the standing type passive exercise apparatus 5.

The horizontal slide mechanism 11 constituting the horizontal movement mechanism shown in FIG. 3 is a leg by moving the left foot support base 1 and the right foot support base 2 on which the left and right feet A1 and A2 of the user A are placed in a V-shape. The left and right rails 8 are fixed to the upper surface of the base board 6. The left rail 8 has a longitudinal direction Y1, and the right rail 8 has a longitudinal direction Y2. Each of the left rail 8 and the right rail 8 is provided to be separated from each other as the longitudinal direction Y1 and the longitudinal direction Y2 move forward D. Therefore, the longitudinal directions Y1 and Y2 of the left and right rails 8 are configured to intersect at a predetermined angle so that the left and right spreads become larger as going forward D. When the motor 21 rotates, the left and right carriages 20 reciprocate along the longitudinal direction Y of the rail 8 with the rotation of the worm wheel 9, so that the foot supports 1 and 2 attached to the carriage 20 are moved to the rail 8. Reciprocatingly moves along the longitudinal direction Y.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3 (b), the vertically movable means 13 of this example is provided at one point at the center of the bottom surface of the base board 6 so that the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 can be moved up and down. Is supported by a swinging fulcrum 13a, and the left foot support base 1 and the right foot support base 2 are alternately seesawed up and down.

In addition, although the balance support which can perform the seesaw movement of the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 by exercising the weight of the user A is illustrated as the vertically movable means 13, the present invention is not limited to this, and of course, for example, the swing fulcrum 13a is 360 ° You may comprise the ball | bowl or roller which can be omnidirectionally rocked. The same applies to the following embodiments.

Thus, in the standing type passive motion apparatus 5 that drives the

foot support bases

1 and 2 in a standing position without bending the knee A4, the user A stands on the left foot support base 1 and the right foot support base 2. When the motor is driven, the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 move in a V shape while giving a phase difference of 180 degrees to the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 respectively, and simulated walking training. Can do. Further, at this time, the center of gravity of the user A moves in the front-rear direction, so that the base board 6 that supports the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 performs an unstable seesaw motion, thereby lowering the foot support 1 ( Or 2) comes to take weight. In other words, if a person stands on the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2, he will be placed in a very unstable state, and his whole body will be used to make this unstable state stable. In the process of struggling, even with a slight movement of the center of gravity, a movement to balance is performed in response to a command of the motor nerve from the brain, and the muscle strength of the leg causes movement, so that the balance and aging of the brain and motor nerve Prevention training can be conducted. Moreover, since the load on the lower limb A3 can be increased by lowering the foot support 1 (2), the weight is firmly applied to the

foot support

1 and 2 while the left and right thighs are alternately raised and lowered. Three-dimensional balance movement can be performed. In this way, balance training, training for supporting weight with one foot A1 (A2), and muscular strength training for the lower limb A3 can be performed at one time during pseudo walking training, and an effect of assisting training can be obtained. Moreover, since it is possible to perform a three-dimensional compound movement combining a vertical balance movement instead of a planar movement, it is possible to increase the load on the lower limb A3, and in addition to exercise in a standing posture. Since the knee A4 is not bent or stretched, a large load does not act on the knee joint, and therefore the muscle of the lower limb A3 can be trained as a whole without damaging the knee joint. As a result, even an elderly person who is not good at training to move weight before and after can exercise safely and improve walking ability.

4 and 5 show another embodiment, and in addition to the horizontal slide mechanism 11 and the vertically movable means 13, a rotation mechanism 12 (a mechanism for rotating around the horizontal axis 3) is attached. It is a thing. The horizontal slide mechanism 11 and the vertically movable means 13 are the same as in FIG. The rotation mechanism 12 of this example is configured to alternately tilt the toe up slope and the toe down slope by turning the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 about the horizontal axis 3 respectively. Here, as shown in FIGS. 4 (c) and 5 (b), if the toes of the foot A1 (A2) are bent to the bottom of the toes where the toes are lower than the heels, the weight is applied to the front side of the knee. The muscles behind the thighs can be contracted simultaneously. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), when the foot A1 is bent back so that the toes rise, the weight is applied to the rear side of the knee, and the muscles in front of the thigh can be contracted simultaneously. As a rotation mechanism 12 for causing such ankle joint dorsiflexion, a forward / reverse rotation motor 30 is provided for each of the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 as shown in FIG. By providing the foot support 1 (or 2) moved forward D, for example, by the motor 30 so that the toe is lowered or the toes are inclined in conjunction with the V-shaped movement of the left foot support 1 and right foot support 2. In parallel with the V-shaped motion and the seesaw motion, it is possible to perform the sole dorsiflexion motion of the ankle joint.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), when the foot support 1 is displaced downward B1 while the foot A1 is in a dorsiflexed state with the toes raised, a force is applied to the shin to counter the toes rising. Strengthening of the muscles. Also, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the foot support 1 is displaced downward B1 when the foot A1 is bent to the bottom, the force is applied to the calf so as to counter the toe lowering. Strength strengthens. In any of these dorsiflexion, the shearing force applied to the knee A4 is reduced, and the dorsiflexion exercise can be performed with confidence without damaging the knee joint. Further, by adjusting the tilt angle by the motor 30, the angle of the bottom flexion and the back flexion of the

foot support bases

1 and 2 with respect to the reference plane can be appropriately changed.

Also, in this example, during the dorsiflexion movement of the ankle joint, the ankle is bent and dorsiflexed in a direction not twisted. That is, as shown in FIG. 4C, the horizontal shaft 3 of the foot support 1 (2) is under the heels of the feet A1 and A2, so that the feet A1 and A2 have ankle movement direction (bottom dorsiflexion direction). Since no force is applied to anything other than), you can exercise with confidence without twisting your ankle. This also applies to other embodiments.

6 and 7 show an embodiment. In addition to the rotation mechanism 12 and the vertically movable means 13, the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 rotate about an axis in the vertical direction with respect to the horizontal plane. It is provided with twist rotating means 15 which is a mechanism for The vertically movable means 13 is the same as that shown in FIG. In this example, the horizontal slide mechanism 11 is not provided. As shown in FIG. 7, the rotation mechanism 12 of this example includes a worm 36 connected to the output shaft of a forward / reverse rotation type motor 35 and a pair of worm wheels 37 that mesh with the worm 36. The pair of worm wheels 37 are respectively connected to the horizontal shaft 3 of the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2, and the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 can be rotated around the horizontal shaft 3 by forward and reverse rotation of the motor 35. It has become. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6A, the twist rotating means 15 of this example makes the rotating disk 7 reciprocatingly rotatable in the direction indicated by the arrow F with respect to the base board 6, and the user A moves on the rotating disk 7. Alternatively, the rotary table 7 may be actively rotated while standing on the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 installed on the left foot support. As another example, as shown in FIG. 6C, a configuration in which the rotating disk 7 is rotationally driven by a motor 40 may be used. Here, the worm wheel 42 is fixed to the drive shaft 41 of the rotating disk 7, the worm 43 fixed to the output shaft of the forward / reverse rotating motor 40 is engaged with the worm wheel 42, and the rotating disk is rotated by the forward / reverse rotation of the motor 40. 7 is rotated forward and backward.

Thus, in addition to the sole dorsiflexion movement of the ankle joint by the rotation mechanism 12 (FIG. 7) and the seesaw movement (B1, B2) by the vertically movable means 13 (FIG. 6B), the upper limb A5 and the lower limb. By adding a twisting motion (F) that twists A3, for example, the muscles of the waist A6 and the lower limbs A3, particularly the adductor muscle group, can be stimulated in a multifaceted manner, and the muscle strength can be strengthened more efficiently. Further, if the rotary disk 7 is twisted and rotated dynamically using the motor 40, the muscular strength of the lower limb A3 can be further enhanced. In this example, the horizontal slide mechanism 11 (FIG. 3) is omitted, but a horizontal slide mechanism can also be incorporated.

In the horizontal slide mechanism 11 of each of the above-described embodiments, the case of performing the V-shaped movement is illustrated, but of course, the present invention is not limited to the V-shaped movement, and any structure that slides in the horizontal direction may be used. An example is shown in.

FIG. 8 shows an example in the case of horizontal sliding so as to be displaced parallel to each other and alternately forward D and backward C. In the figure,

reference numerals

60 and 61 denote guide portions of the foot supports 1 and 2, respectively. In this example, a pair of driven

gears

53, 54 meshing with the main gear 52 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main gear 52 attached to the output shaft 51 of the forward / reverse rotating motor 50, and one driven gear 53 is one side. Meshed with a rack 55 provided along the side end surface of the foot support base 1, and the other driven gear 54 meshed with a rack 56 provided along the side end surface of the other foot support base 2. Further, the

foot support bases

1 and 2 can be moved back and forth alternately, which is optimal for, for example, pseudo ski training.

FIG. 9 shows an example of horizontal sliding so as to be close to and away from each other in the lateral direction E, and 62 and 63 in the figure are the guide portions of the foot supports 1 and 2, respectively. Each of the

guide portions

62 and 63 guides the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 so as to be freely opened and closed in the lateral direction E. Here, the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 are connected via a rhombus link 60 that expands and contracts in the lateral direction E. For example, the piston rod 62 of the hydraulic cylinder 61 is connected to the rear fulcrum of the rhombus link 60. 9b, the rhombus link 60 extends long in the front-rear direction so that the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 are pulled toward each other. When the piston rod 62 is contracted, the rhombus link 60 moves to the left and right. The left foot support base 1 and the right foot support base 2 are separated from each other, whereby the left foot support base 1 and the right foot support base 2 can be moved toward and away from each other in the lateral direction E, and the legs of both feet are opened. Ideal for exercise.

FIG. 10 to FIG. 12 show an embodiment for driving so that the relative positions change by associating the height in the vertical direction B at each representative point of the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 with each other. An example of the vertical drive means 14 constituting the vertical movement mechanism is shown. That is, the vertical drive means is configured to move the left foot support base and the right foot support base in the vertical direction, and changes the height of the left foot support base relative to the height of the right foot support base. It is configured.

The vertical drive means 14 in FIG. 10 connects the piston rod 71 of the hydraulic cylinder 70 to one end of the base board 6 that performs the seesaw movement at the swing fulcrum 13a, and expands and contracts the piston rod 71, thereby swinging the base board 6. It can be rotated around the moving fulcrum 13a. An arrow B1 and an arrow B2 in FIG. 10 indicate the movement of the right foot support 2 when the piston rod 71 is moved by the vertical driving means 14. In this way, the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 can be dynamically seesawed (B1, B2).

11 is composed of a motor 80 and a pair of

eccentric cams

81 and 82. In this example, the two

eccentric cams

81 and 82 are separated and fixed to the output shaft 80 a of the motor 80. At this time, when the upward projecting dimension L1 of one eccentric cam 81 becomes the maximum, the upper projecting dimension L2 of the other eccentric cam 82 is fixed so as to become the minimum. When one eccentric cam 81 is disposed on the lower surface of one foot support base 1 and the other eccentric cam 82 is disposed on the lower surface of the other foot support base 2, and the output shaft 80a of the motor 80 is rotated, each eccentric shaft 82 is rotated. The rotational movements of the

cams

81 and 82 are converted into the vertical movements of the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2, respectively, and the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 perform seesaw motion (B1, B2) dynamically. In addition, when it is desired to move up and down individually or randomly instead of the seesaw motion that alternately moves up and down, the two

eccentric cams

81 and 82 are independently made up using two

motors

80A and 80B as shown in FIG. In this case, the speed, distance and timing of the vertical movement of the

foot support bases

1 and 2 can be set as appropriate. In this case, the left foot support base 1 and the right foot support base 2 are randomly moved up and down. It becomes possible to move, the unexpected vertical movement of the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 is performed in a passive manner, and the balance training effect can be further enhanced.

The vertical drive means 14 in FIG. 12 juxtaposes the rhombus links 90, 91 extending and contracting in the vertical direction B on the lower side B1 of the left foot support base 1 and the right foot support base 2 in the horizontal direction, and also connects the left and right rhombus links 90, 91 together. The connecting rod 92 is pivotally connected to each other. When the piston rod 96 of the hydraulic cylinder 95 is connected to the upper fulcrum of one rhombus link 90 and the piston rod 96 is extended vertically, the one rhombus link 90 moves up and down. When the other rhombus link 91 is vertically shortened and the piston rod 96 is shortened, one rhombus link 90 is vertically shortened and the other rhombus link 91 is vertically elongated, thereby supporting the left foot. The table 1 and the right foot support table 2 alternately perform seesaw motions (B1, B2). When the left foot support 1 and the right foot support 2 are moved up or down individually or randomly, the two

rhombus links

90 and 91 are separated, and each is individually extended and retracted vertically using the individual hydraulic cylinders 95. What should I do?

The embodiment will be described by using any one of the vertical drive means 14 of FIGS. 10 to 12. The

foot support bases

1 and 2 are slid from the rear C to the front D by the horizontal slide mechanism 11 shown in FIG. In doing so, the foot support 1 (or 2) can be displaced downward B1 in synchronization with the forward D movement of the foot support 1 (or 2) as shown in FIG. Therefore, it becomes easy to put weight on the lowered foot support 1 (or 2), and balance training can be performed more effectively.

Further, the embodiment will be described by using the vertical drive means 14. When the foot support 1 (or 2) is rotated from the toe-down inclination to the toe-up inclination by the rotation mechanism 12 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5A, the foot support 1 (or 2) can be displaced downward B1 in synchronization with the toe-up slope of the foot support 1 (or 2). Accordingly, it is easy to put weight on the foot support 1 (or 2) inclined to the toes, and at this time, the weight is applied to the rear side of the knee A4, and the muscles in front of the thigh can be contracted simultaneously. The dorsiflexion movement of the ankle joint can be performed more effectively.

Furthermore, the embodiment will be described by using the vertical drive means 14. When the foot support 1 is rotated from the toe-up inclination to the toe-down inclination by the rotation mechanism 12 shown in FIG. As shown in b), the foot support 1 can be displaced downward B1 in synchronism with the toe-down slope of the foot support 1. Therefore, it is easy to put weight on the foot support 1 (or 2) inclined toe-down, and the weight is applied to the front side of the knee A4, and the muscles on the back of the thigh can be contracted at the same time. The ankle joint can bend more effectively.

It should be noted that the individual features shown in the above embodiments can be arbitrarily combined.
