Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of spinal physiotherapy methods, and particularly to an interactive spinal physiotherapy bed. Background Art

[0002] With the development of social economy, the number of people engaged in mental labor has increased significantly. Sitting for a long time during work has led to a significant increase in the prevalence of spinal diseases such as scoliosis and ankylosing spondylitis in this group. Spinal diseases will seriously affect the daily work and life of patients, and in severe cases, may lead to paralysis.

[0003] In the initial stage of spinal diseases, conservative physiotherapy means such as massage and pressing can effectively relieve the disease condition and play a role in treating spinal diseases. However, most massage and pressing rely on the experience of doctors, and the difference in experience among doctors leads to different treatment effects of massage and pressing for spinal diseases. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an interactive spinal physiotherapy bed, which overcomes the above defects, can interact with patients, enables patients to adjust the back muscle tension by themselves during the treatment process, and then changes the spinal position, making the spinal scoliosis physiotherapy process more scientific and reasonable.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the solution of the present invention is: an interactive spinal physiotherapy method, which applies an interactive spinal physiotherapy bed, including a bed body for a human body to lie on. A plurality of air bags are arranged on the upper surface of the bed body, and the plurality of air bags are arranged on the bed body in sequence. Corresponding to the position between the patient's waist and neck, each of the air bags is connected to a gas source device. The gas source device makes each of the air bags inflate independently or deflate and contract. Each of the air bags is respectively provided with a pressure sensor to detect the air pressure in each air bag. Each of the pressure sensors is communicatively connected to a controller, and the controller is communicatively connected to an interactive display. The method includes the following steps:

[0006] Step 1, let the patient lie above the bed body;

[0007] Step 2, through the gas source device, make at least one of the air bags inflate and protrude above the other air bags;

[0008] Step 3, the patient presses down on the corresponding air bag that protrudes with the back, so that the air pressure in the corresponding air bag rises;

[0009] Step 4, each of the pressure sensors real-time detects the air pressure in each of the air bags, and transmits the detected air pressure values in each of the air bags to the controller;

[0010] Step 5: Based on the deviation between the detected air pressure value in the corresponding airbag with an upward bulge and the preset predetermined air pressure value in the controller, the controller displays a virtual motion scene on the interactive display. When the detected air pressure value is equal to the predetermined air pressure value, the moving target in the virtual motion scene travels in a straight line. When the detected air pressure value is greater than or less than the predetermined air pressure value, the traveling directions of the moving target in the virtual motion scene deviate to both sides respectively, so as to prompt the patient to actively adjust the back muscle tension and change the pressure acting on the corresponding airbag with an upward bulge, so that the moving target in the virtual motion scene keeps traveling in a straight line.

[0011] Further, the air source device is communicatively connected to the controller. In step 2, the doctor inputs information into the controller to specify that a certain position airbag inflates with air and bulges upward from other airbags to push and press the patient's back upward.

[0012] After adopting the above scheme, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Corresponding to the part of the patient's back with muscle tension diseases, at least one of the airbags at this part can be inflated with air by the air source device and bulge upward from other airbags. The patient's back presses down on the corresponding airbag with an upward bulge, causing the air pressure in the corresponding airbag to rise. The controller displays a virtual motion scene on the interactive display according to the air pressure value in the corresponding airbag with an upward bulge monitored by the corresponding air pressure sensor. When the detected air pressure value is equal to the predetermined air pressure value, the moving target in the virtual motion scene travels in a straight line. When the detected air pressure value is greater than or less than the predetermined air pressure value, the traveling directions of the moving target in the virtual motion scene deviate to both sides respectively, guiding the patient to actively adjust the back muscle tension, change the pressure exerted by the patient on the corresponding airbag with an upward bulge, and further change the air pressure value in the corresponding airbag, so that the moving target in the virtual motion scene keeps traveling in a straight line, mobilizing the initiative of the patient during the physiotherapy process, realizing active treatment, making the physiotherapy process more interesting and achieving better effects.

Detailed implementation manners

[0020] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] The present invention provides an interactive spinal physiotherapy method, which is applied to an interactive spinal physiotherapy bed, as Figure 1-6 shown, and here we will focus on combining with Figure 1 shown, including a bed body 19 for a human body to lie on. The bed body 19 includes a bed frame 1, a back support frame 2, and a leg support frame 3. The bed frame 1 is arranged at the lower part of the bed body 19 and rests on the ground. Above the bed frame 1, the back support frame 2 and the leg support frame 3 are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence from the head of the bed to the tail of the bed. The back support frame 2 is used to support the upper half of the human body, and the leg support frame 3 is used to support the lower half of the human body. Then, we will focus on combining with Figure 4 、 Figure 6As shown, one end of the back support frame 2 close to the leg support frame 3 is horizontally pivotally connected to the bed frame 1. A first flipping drive mechanism 4 is connected between the back support frame 2 and the bed frame 1. The first flipping drive mechanism 4 drives the back support frame 2 to flip around the pivot point. One end of the leg support frame 3 close to the back support frame 2 is horizontally pivotally connected to the bed frame 1. A second flipping drive mechanism 5 is connected between the leg support frame 3 and the bed frame 1. The second flipping drive mechanism drives the leg support frame 3 to flip around the pivot point. The structures of the first flipping drive mechanism 4 and the second flipping drive mechanism 5 are not specifically defined. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first flipping drive mechanism 4 and the second flipping drive mechanism 5 are electric cylinders or air cylinders. One end of the first flipping drive mechanism 4 is horizontally pivotally connected to the bed frame 1, and the other end is horizontally pivotally connected to the back support frame 2. One end of the second flipping drive mechanism 5 is horizontally pivotally connected to the bed frame 1, and the other end is horizontally pivotally connected to the leg support frame 3. By the telescoping of the first flipping drive 4 and the second flipping drive mechanism 5, the back support frame 2 and the leg support frame 3 are respectively driven to flip around the pivot point, so as to adjust the included angle between the back support frame 2 and the leg support frame 3, and change the body posture of the patient lying on the back support frame 2 and the leg support frame 3;

[0022] Focusing on combining Figure 1 、 Figure 5As shown, in order to monitor the spinal posture of the human body lying on the bed body 19 in real time, a plurality of pressure sensor groups 6 are arranged on the upper surface of the bed body 19. Specifically, in this embodiment, the plurality of pressure sensor groups 6 are arranged on the back support frame 2 and are arranged in sequence between the waist and neck of the human body. Each pressure sensor group 6 includes at least two pressure sensors 8 symmetrically arranged along the width direction of the bed body 19. The number of the pressure sensor groups 6 and the number of the pressure sensors 8 included in each pressure sensor group 6 are not specifically limited. Specifically, in this embodiment, a total of eight pressure sensor groups 6 are arranged, and each pressure sensor group 6 includes two pressure sensors 8. When the upper half of the human body lies on the back support frame 2, the central axis of the human body coincides with the symmetry axis in the width direction of the back support frame 2. Then, by monitoring the pressure values generated by each part of the human back on the pressure sensors 8 below it, the distribution of the muscle tension of the human back is obtained, and further the left and right yaw conditions of each segment of the human spine are inferred; the pressure sensor 8 can be any existing pressure sensor. Specifically, in this embodiment, each pressure sensor 8 includes a pressure sensor main body 9 and a movable plate 10. The movable plate 10 is arranged above the bed body 19 and is vertically movable relative to the bed body 19. The pressure sensor main body 9 is arranged between the movable plate 10 and the bed body 19. More specifically, the movable plates 10 of the two pressure sensors 8 on the same pressure sensor group 6 are adjacent and symmetrically arranged along the width direction of the back support frame 2 and span the entire width of the back support frame 2. The pressure sensor main body 9 is connected between the movable plate 10 and the back support frame 2. When the human body presses down the movable plate 10 and moves downward, the pressure sensor main body 9 sandwiched between the movable plate 10 and the back support frame 2 is squeezed, and the pressure sensor main body 9 collects the pressure value generated when being squeezed;

[0023] Focusing on Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, for massaging and pressing the back muscle groups of the human body in real time according to the spinal posture of the human body and realizing interaction with the patient, a plurality of air bags 7 are arranged on the upper surface of the bed body 19. The plurality of air bags 7 are arranged on the bed body 19 in sequence, corresponding to the position between the patient's waist and neck. Each of the air bags 7 is communicated with a gas source device. Specifically, in this embodiment, a pressure sensor group 6 corresponds to each of the air bags 7. The shape of the air bag 7 is not specifically limited. Specifically, in this embodiment, the air bags 7 are all cylindrical and extend along the width direction of the bed body 2, and span the width of the bed body 19. Since the flexibility of the human waist position is better, two of the air bags 7 are stacked at the position of the bed body 19 corresponding to the human waist. The design of the double-layer air bag can have a better physical therapy effect on the human waist muscles; each of the air bags 7 is communicated with a gas source device, and the gas source device enables each of the air bags 7 to inflate independently or deflate and contract. Each of the air bags 7 is provided with a pressure sensor to detect the air pressure in each of the air bags 7. The gas source device and the pressure sensor are both prior arts and are conventionally arranged and not shown in the drawings. The gas source device, each of the pressure sensors 8, and the pressure sensors are commonly communicatively connected to a controller 14. The controller 14 is located beside the bed frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the bed frame 1. The controller 14 is also communicatively connected to an interactive display 20. The interactive display 20 can be any kind of display device, preferably a VR display device, such as a VR glasses, etc., for the patient to wear. The controller 14 is also communicatively connected to a control panel 15 for inputting information to the controller 14. The control panel 15 is arranged on the controller 14. The bending condition of the human spine is displayed through the control panel 15, and interaction with the doctor is realized, so as to facilitate the doctor to manually adjust the angle between the back support frame 2 and the leg support frame 3, and the air pressure of each of the air bags 7, etc.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment, to detect the pose of the human buttocks, it is mainly combined with Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of the pressure sensor groups 6 are arranged on the leg support frame 2. The pressure sensor groups 6 on the leg support frame 2 start from one end of the leg support frame 2 close to the back support frame 2 and are arranged in sequence towards the end of the leg support frame 2 away from the back support frame 2. In this embodiment, a total of two of the pressure sensor groups 6 are arranged. The pressure sensor groups 6 on the leg support frame 2 have the same structure as the pressure sensor groups on the back support frame 2.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, to adapt to the heights of different doctors and facilitate physical therapy for the patients lying on the bed body 19, the bed body 19 can be lifted and lowered. Specifically, it is mainly combined with Figure 6As shown, the bed frame 1 includes a floating bracket 11 and a bottom bracket 12, the back support frame 2 and the leg support frame 3 are both pivotally connected to the floating bracket 11, the floating bracket 11 is vertically movably arranged above the bottom bracket 12, and the bottom bracket 12 falls on the ground, and a vertical driving mechanism 13 is connected between the floating bracket 11 and the bottom bracket 12. The vertical driving mechanism 13 can be any existing mechanism that can provide lifting power, so as to adjust the height of the bed by lifting the floating bracket 11. In this embodiment, four guide columns 17 are also longitudinally connected between the floating bracket 11 and the bottom bracket 12, and the four guide columns 17 are located around the periphery of the vertical driving mechanism 13 to improve the stability of the floating bracket 11 during the lifting process.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment, in order to adapt to the heights of different patients, the opening positions of the pressure sensor group 6 and the airbag 7 are adaptively adjusted. The bed 19 is also provided with a laser ranging sensor 18 at the head end of the back support frame 2. The laser ranging sensor 18 is communicatively connected to the controller 14. The laser ranging sensor 18 is irradiated toward the rear end of the bed 19 to detect the position of the human shoulder. Therefore, according to the heights of different patients, the opening positions of the pressure sensor group 6 and the airbag 7 during use can be more accurately determined, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection of the back muscle tension of the human body by each pressure sensor group 6, so that the multiple airbags 7 can cover the patient's neck to waist without affecting the normal placement of the patient's head.

[0027] The method comprises the following steps:

[0028] Step 1, making the patient lie on the bed;

[0029] Step 2, using the air source device to allow at least one of the airbags to inflate and bulge upwards over the other airbags;

[0030] Step 3, the patient presses down the convex corresponding airbag 7 with his back to increase the air pressure in the corresponding airbag 7;

[0031] Step 4, each of the air pressure sensors detects the air pressure in each of the air bags 7 in real time, and transmits the detected air pressure value in each of the air bags 7 to the controller;

[0032] Step 5: The controller displays a virtual motion scene on the interactive display 20 according to the deviation between the detected air pressure value in the corresponding airbag 7 with an upward convexity and the preset predetermined air pressure value in the controller. When the detected air pressure value is equal to the predetermined air pressure value, the moving target in the virtual motion scene travels in a straight line. When the detected air pressure value is greater than or less than the predetermined air pressure value, the traveling directions of the moving targets in the virtual motion scene deviate to both sides respectively, so as to prompt the patient to actively adjust the back muscle tension and change the pressure acting on the corresponding airbag 7, making the moving target in the virtual motion scene keep traveling in a straight line, thereby mobilizing the initiative of the patient during the physiotherapy process, achieving active treatment, making the physiotherapy process more interesting and having a better effect.

[0033] In a more specific embodiment, in Step 2, the doctor inputs information into the controller 14 according to the patient's condition to specify that a certain position airbag 7 inflates with air and protrudes upward from the other airbags 7 to push and press the patient's back upward.

[0034] Through the above process, the active treatment of the patient is completed. Using this interactive spinal physiotherapy bed can also perform passive treatment on the patient. The passive treatment can be carried out before or after the active treatment, or only one of the active treatment or passive treatment can be carried out. The passive treatment specifically includes the following steps:

[0035] Step 1: Detection. Let the patient lie above the bed body 19. The pressure value collected by each pressure sensor group 6 arranged below each airbag 7 is used to obtain the back muscle tension distribution of the patient. In this embodiment, each pressure sensor group 6 collects two pressure values through two pressure sensors 8 arranged thereon, corresponding to the left and right sides of the patient's back respectively. Furthermore, through the pressure values collected by each pressure sensor group 6, the detection of the back muscle tension distribution of the patient is realized, and furthermore, the scoliosis condition of the patient can also be inferred; when detecting, the angle between the back support frame 2 and the leg support frame 3 can be adjusted to change the patient's posture, making the detection process more accurate and reasonable;

[0036] Step 2: Relaxation. Let a plurality of airbags 7 be arranged in sequence between the patient's waist and neck. The air source device enables each airbag 7 to inflate independently in sequence and push and press the patient's back upward. During the pressing process, each airbag 7 undulates in a wave shape and repeats multiple times, playing a role in relaxing the patient's back muscles;

[0037] Step 3: Targeted pressing. When the airbag corresponding to the position where the difference in back muscle tension of the patient is relatively large on the left and right (i.e., the airbag above the pressure sensor group 6 where the difference in the pressure values detected by the two pressure sensors 8 is relatively large) pushes and presses the patient's back, it stays for a predetermined time duration to realize targeted passive physiotherapy for the patient according to the back muscle tension of the patient;

[0038] Step 4, relax again. After repeating Step 3 multiple times, repeat Step 2.

[0039] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the design of this case. All equivalent changes made according to the key design of this case fall within the protection scope of this case.
