All of the above analogues solve the technical problem to a very small extent, and therefore a new technical solution has been proposed.

DISCLOSURE OF UTILITY MODEL

The technical result of the presented technical solution is aimed at solving a technical problem and consists in the possibility of ensuring multiple assembly and disassembly of the frame made in the form of a bowl of a water treadmill installed on a frame, without losing the tightness of the structure, which allows for the installation of the device in any room, regardless of the dimensions of the doorways, due to which it is possible to conduct a hydrotherapy session in the most comfortable place for both patients and specialists.

The technical result is achieved due to the fact that the frame of the device is made with the possibility of its repeated assembly and disassembly, without losing the tightness of the structure. This allows the installation of the device in any room, regardless of the dimensions of the doorways, due to which it is possible to conduct a hydrotherapy session in the most comfortable place for both patients and specialists.

The fastening of the structural elements is carried out by means of a screw connection.

Also, the technical result is achieved by increasing the size of the body and the length of the running half-tone. This makes it possible to use this track for full-fledged sports running and the possibility of the instructor being with the patient in the working bowl.

The presence of a rehabilitation instructor is necessary so that it is possible to work with children under 5 years old, for children with cognitive impairment, for children with severe motor pathology. The instructor enters the working bowl, together with the child, and stays with him/her throughout the entire lesson.

All this is implemented in the following form.

The frame, mounted on a frame, is made in the form of a working bowl with four paired parallel walls, a bottom and an open top.

The frame is made of stainless steel, ensuring the safety and comfort of the patient during the procedure. On two parallel walls, window openings are cut out, in which glass is built in for visual observation of the patient. On the other walls, there is a door with a locking mechanism and holes for installing counter-current pipes. At the bottom of the working bowl, there is a treadmill, which is designed to imitate walking or running with the ability to adjust the speed of movement. It allows you to adapt the load in accordance with the individual needs of the patient. The treadmill is connected to an electric motor fixed under the bottom of the bowl, through a pulley and belt in such a way that the pulley and belt are fenced off by the body structure from the working space of the bowl, due to which the electric motor, pulley and belt do not come into contact with water. This allows you to use not only waterproof engines in the water treadmill. Also under the bottom of the bowl there is an opening for draining and taking water into the working bowl.

The door is accessed from the outside by a riser with an anti-slip surface.

The water treadmill is equipped with an automation panel: a central controller that controls all functions of the device, including filling and draining water, adjusting the temperature and speed of the running belt. A remote control with a touch screen is connected to the controller, through the interface of which the operator sets and controls the parameters of the procedure in real time.

If necessary, the device can be used with a suspension structure that supports the patient during the procedure.

The water treadmill is equipped with a plumbing module. It consists of a storage tank, a water purification system, a heating system and is connected to communications, namely to the water supply and sewerage. The storage tank is a reservoir for storing, circulating, cleaning, heating water. It ensures the constant readiness of the equipment for sessions. The water purification system carries out multi-stage filtration: removes large and small mechanical particles, and can optionally disinfect water, maintaining high hygienic standards. The heating system ensures the maintenance of a set water temperature for comfortable conditions for hydrotherapy.

IMPLEMENTATION OF A UTILITY MODEL

The water treadmill is started and controlled using the remote control (6). After switching on the remote control (6), the door (2) opens and the patient enters the frame (1) via the ramp with the anti-slip flooring (4). The door (2) is closed by the locking mechanism (3). A command is entered on the remote control (6), which starts the water intake, after which the water flows through the filler/drain pipe (9). When the speed of the running belt (13) on the remote control (6) increases, the electric motor (8) sets the running belt (13) in motion via the belt (11) to the pulley (12).

Water supply is switched off automatically or manually using the remote control (6).

Through the glass (10) the doctor visually observes the patient.

To increase the load while running, the patient turns on the counter-current using the remote control (6) and water begins to flow through the counter-current pipes (7).

After completing the procedure in the water treadmill, the counter-current is switched off on the remote control (6) (if it was switched on), the running belt (13) stops, the water is drained through the inlet/drain pipe (9) and the locking mechanism (3) opens in order to open the door (2) and take the patient out along the ramp with anti-slip flooring (4).

During the operation of the water treadmill, a plumbing module is used, through which water is supplied to the working bowl, circulated, filtered and heated. Water from the tank (18) passes through the pump (20), which creates circulation. Then the water passes through the sand filter (21), where it is cleaned of mechanical impurities. After filtration, the water can be directed through the heating element (19) for heating in order to maintain a comfortable temperature for hydrotherapy. Purified and heated water through the mesh filter (24) enters the water treadmill (25), where it is used in the hydrotherapy process. An additional pump (26) can increase the water pressure or ensure its circulation through the treadmill.

The system is equipped with electromagnetic valves (23) that automatically open or close the water flows. This allows you to direct water to the desired parts of the system or shut it off when necessary.

If it is necessary to drain the water, a special circuit is provided for this purpose, which directs the water into the sewer through the valves (22) - in manual mode, or in automatic mode - electromagnetic valves (23).

The main screen of the remote control displays: a button for switching to an additional screen, a software emergency stop button, heating and filter pump indicators, a control system status indicator, a treadmill cycle time counter, the actual speed of the treadmill and the distance traveled, buttons for starting forward/backward/stopping the treadmill, a field for setting the speed of the treadmill, a field for setting the counter-current speed, turning on the counter-current mode, turning on the mode for draining water from the working bowl into the tank, turning on the mode for filling water from the tank into the working bowl.
