Problems solved by technology

Wearing devices such as neck braces and lumbar releases can reduce the risk of injury caused by long-term and high-load stress on the spine. Belts, etc., but generally have the following deficiencies: 1) Most of them are passive structures, which are difficult to provide active assisting force for spinal movements; 2) Rigid structures will restrict the movement of some parts of the spine, so they cannot adapt to various flexible movements; 3) Some devices only consider preventing spinal injuries in the form of pressurized fixation, and no active structure is designed to prevent spinal injuries; 4) It cannot monitor the health status of the human body in real time and make adjustments; (5) It cannot intelligently interact with the human body and update in real time according to user needs Assistance program

Embodiment Construction

[0019] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] see figure 1 and figure 2 , the present invention includes vest 4, which is divided into cervical auxiliary area 1, thoracic auxiliary area 2 and lumbar auxiliary area 3. The thoracic auxiliary zone 2 is used to protect the human thoracic spine and provide auxiliary force for its movement. The lumbar auxiliary area 3 includes two kinds of airbags distributed horizontally and vertically. The airbags distributed longitudinally are used to provide the force to tighten the waist, and the airbags distributed horizontally are used to assist the lumbar spine to maintain normal physiological curvature. Cervical auxiliary area 1, thoracic auxiliary area 2, and lumbar auxiliary area 3 are fixed with airbags 5, and the airbags 5 are driven by a pressure supply device. Cervical auxiliary area 1, thoracic auxiliary area 2, and lumbar auxiliary area 3 are all equipped with...

Abstract

The invention discloses a pneumatic spine assisting device. According to the invention, an active power assisting structure and a passive power assisting structure are combined, not only an active force can be provided for a user through the variable stiffness characteristic of structures of a cervical vertebra assisting region, a thoracic vertebra assisting region and a lumbar vertebra assistingregion, but also an auxiliary force can be provided for the user by setting air pressure changes of air bags in the cervical vertebra auxiliary region, the thoracic vertebra auxiliary region and the lumbar vertebra auxiliary region, so that the spine curvature of a human body can be standardized while spine movement of the human body is assisted. In addition, the structure of the device is flexible, so that the flexible movement of the human body cannot be limited, and the device has an effect on prevention and rehabilitation of spine-related diseases.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of intelligent wearable devices, and in particular relates to a pneumatic spinal assisting device. Background technique [0002] The spine is the pillar of the human body and the main load-bearing part of the human body during exercise. It is very prone to fatigue during long-term static or exercise, and the cervical and lumbar spine are more prone to injuries of varying degrees, such as cervical spondylosis and lumbar disc herniation, etc. . Wearing devices such as neck braces and lumbar releases can reduce the risk of injury caused by long-term and high-load stress on the spine. Belts, etc., but generally have the following deficiencies: 1) Most of them are passive structures, which are difficult to provide active assisting force for spinal movements; 2) Rigid structures will restrict the movement of some parts of the spine, so they cannot adapt to various flexible movements; 3) Some devices only consider preventi...
