Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of lower limb massage, and in particular relates to a lower limb edema massage device. Background Art

[0002] For patients with kidney disease, edema of the lower limbs is a very common clinical manifestation because excess water cannot be discharged from the body. When the patient's glomerular filtration rate and tubular reabsorption capacity are reduced, water and sodium metabolism is impaired, which in turn causes water and sodium retention, which is the main cause of lower limb edema. Kidney disease may cause a large amount of proteinuria, which reduces the albumin level in the blood and the colloid osmotic pressure. The water in the blood vessels can more easily penetrate into the tissue space, further aggravating edema. Kidney disease may also affect some hormones secreted by the kidneys, such as aldosterone and antidiuretic hormone. These hormone imbalances will also have an adverse effect on water and salt metabolism, prompting the occurrence of edema. Lower limb edema can be treated with massage, which mainly eliminates swelling by promoting blood circulation.

[0003] At present, massage of the patient's lower limbs is mainly performed manually, especially massage of acupoints such as Chengshan, Yinlingquan and Fenglong. Medical staff use the pads of their index fingers or thumbs to perform circular massage on the acupoints. During the process, the acupoints are pressed to accelerate blood circulation. However, it takes a lot of time for medical staff to massage patients, which increases their labor intensity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a lower limb edema massage device with a flexible structure, which can replace doctors in massaging acupoints.

[0005] The lower limb edema massage device includes two horizontally arranged rubber belts, which are distributed up and down. Several silicone plates are vertically arranged between the two rubber belts. The two ends of the silicone plates are detachably connected to the corresponding rubber belts. The rubber belts are provided with fixing components for fixing the silicone plates to the patient's lower limbs. A massager is installed on each silicone plate, and a fixing cylinder is installed on the silicone plate. A massage block is provided at the front end of the fixing cylinder. A control component for controlling the circular movement of the massage block is provided in the fixing cylinder.

[0006] Furthermore, the control component includes a vertical rod, which is horizontally arranged in a fixed cylinder, and a sliding groove is opened forward at the rear end of the vertical rod, and an inner rod is independently installed in the sliding groove. A limiting block is fixed on the side wall of the inner rod, and a limiting groove is opened on the groove wall of the sliding groove. The limiting block is inserted into the limiting groove and slides with it. A driving part for driving the inner rod to rotate is installed in the fixed cylinder, and a connecting rod is eccentrically fixed to the front end of the vertical rod, and the front end of the connecting rod is fixed on the massage block.

[0007] Furthermore, a guide plate is provided between the inner wall of the fixed cylinder and the outer wall of the vertical rod. The guide plate is fixed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder and has a spiral structure. A slider that slides along the guide plate is fixed on the outer wall of the vertical rod. After the slider detaches from the end end of the guide plate, it is located above the starting end of the guide plate.

[0008] Furthermore, balls are installed on the groove wall of the limiting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, a support rod is horizontally fixed to the inner bottom of the fixed cylinder, and a pad is vertically fixed to the front end of the support rod.

[0010] Furthermore, a flat plate is vertically fixed to the front end of the fixing cylinder, a through slot communicating front to back is opened on the flat plate, and the side wall of the connecting rod is attached to the slot wall of the through slot.

[0011] Furthermore, the height from the starting end to the ending end of the guide plate is smaller than the distance between the front end of the vertical rod and the flat plate.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] The lower limb edema massage device described in this embodiment is as follows: Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it includes two horizontally arranged rubber belts 3, which are distributed up and down. The two rubber belts 3 are horizontally distributed up and down. The rubber belts 3 are used to fix the upper and lower ends of the silicone plate 5. The rubber belts 3 are bent and wrapped around the patient's lower limbs to fit several silicone plates 5 on the patient's lower limbs. The rubber belts 3 are made of soft rubber and have comprehensive performance advantages such as high elasticity, high resilience, tear resistance, and long service life. Compared with cloth, they have a certain supporting force, which provides conditions for the fixation of the silicone plate 5. A waist corset can also be used. Steel bones, whale bones, fish scale bones, etc. are added to the waist corset. These materials play a role in supporting and shaping, and help fix the two ends of the silicone plate 5 through bending and supporting force.

[0026] Several silicone plates 5 are vertically arranged between the two rubber belts 3. The silicone plates 5 have good bending properties and can better fit the patient's calf muscles to adapt to patients of different body shapes.

[0027] The two ends of the silicone plate 5 are detachably connected to the corresponding rubber belt 3. The upper end of the silicone plate 5 is connected to the upper rubber belt 3, and the lower end is connected to the lower rubber belt 3. When the silicone plate 5 is fixed, each silicone plate 5 can be flexibly moved up and down according to the patient's acupuncture points, so that the massage block 18 is aligned with the patient's lower limb acupuncture points to massage the patient's acupuncture points;

[0028] The left and right sides of the rubber band 3 are fixed with elastic bands 2, the right end of the left elastic band 2 is fixed to the left side of the rubber band 3, and the left end of the right elastic band 2 is fixed to the right side of the rubber band 3, and the two elastic bands 2 are wrapped around the patient's lower limbs to fix the rubber band 3 on the patient's lower limbs; the movable ends of the elastic bands 2 are provided with Velcro 1, the adhesive hook of the Velcro 1 is fixed to the movable end of one of the elastic bands 2, and the adhesive plate of the Velcro 1 is fixed to the movable end of the other elastic band 2. The two elastic bands 2 are connected together by the Velcro 1 to put the rubber band 3 on the patient's lower limb; this paragraph constitutes a fixing component for fixing the silicone plate 5 to the patient's lower limb. Of course, the fixing component can also use a buckle, the sub-buckle of the buckle is fixed to the movable end of one elastic band 2, and the female buckle of the buckle is fixed to the movable end of the other elastic band 2, and the two elastic bands 2 are connected together by the buckle to put the rubber band 3 on the patient's lower limb;

[0029] Each silicone plate 5 is equipped with a massager 7, which massages the patient's lower limbs to accelerate blood circulation in the patient's lower limbs. The massager 7 is a prior art massager, which uses a vibration massager in the prior art, such as a fascia gun, etc., which uses vibration function to stimulate the muscles and nerves of the lower limbs to promote blood circulation.

[0030] A fixing cylinder 6 is mounted on the silicone plate 5. A through hole is provided on the silicone plate 5, which is connected to the front and back. The fixing cylinder 6 is installed in the through hole.

[0031] A massage block 18 is provided at the front end of the fixed cylinder 6, which massages the patient's acupuncture points to relieve edema in the patient's lower limbs;

[0032] The fixed cylinder 6 is provided with a vertical rod 10, and the rear end of the vertical rod 10 is provided with a slide groove forward, and an inner rod 13 is independently installed in the slide groove, and a slide groove is provided forward at the rear end of the vertical rod 10 along the length direction of the vertical rod 10, and the inner rod 13 is installed in the slide groove and slides back and forth along the length direction of the slide groove; a limit block 16 is fixed on the side wall of the inner rod 13, and the limit block 16 is fixed to the upper end of the side wall of the inner rod 13. When the inner rod 13 rotates, the limit block 16 is driven to rotate together; a limit groove is provided on the groove wall of the slide groove, and the limit block 16 is inserted into the limit groove and is slidably matched with it. Through the limit of the limit block 16 in the limit groove, when the inner rod 13 rotates, the vertical rod 10 is driven to rotate together, and the limit block 16 moves up and down in the limit groove; a driving member for driving the inner rod 13 to rotate is installed in the fixed cylinder 6, and the driving member is installed in the inner bottom of the fixed cylinder 6, and the power output end of the driving member is connected to the rear end of the inner rod 13, and the inner rod 13 is driven to rotate by the driving member. The massage block 18 is driven by the inner rod 13 and the inner rod 13 is driven by the inner rod 13 to move in a circular motion, thereby simulating the doctor's fingertips performing circular kneading on the acupuncture points; this paragraph of text as a whole constitutes a control component for controlling the circular motion of the massage block 18. When the control component is in use, the massage block 18 is pressed on the acupuncture points, and the inner rod 13 is driven to rotate by the driving member. Under the limit of the limit groove on the limit block 16, the vertical rod 10 is driven to rotate together, thereby driving the connecting rod 17 to perform circular motion around the central axis of the vertical rod 10, and finally driving the massage block 18 to perform circular motion, simulating the doctor's fingertips performing circular kneading on the acupuncture points; of course, the massage block 18 is made of silicone block, which is soft and ductile, thereby improving the comfort of the patient during acupuncture point massage.

[0033] When using this embodiment, the two ends of the silicone plate 5 are respectively fixed on the two rubber belts 3, and the two rubber belts 3 are bent by the fixing component and wrapped around the patient's lower limbs, so that several silicone plates 5 fit on the muscles of the patient's lower limbs. The silicone plate 5 is appropriately pulled according to the patient's body shape, so that the massage block 18 is located at the acupuncture points of the patient's lower limbs. The massage block 18 is controlled by the control component to make a circular movement, simulating the doctor's fingertips to massage the acupuncture points in a circular manner, accelerating the blood circulation of the lower limbs, and reducing the doctor's labor intensity. The remaining massagers 7 on the silicone plate 5 massage the patient's muscles, and cooperate with the massage block 18 to massage the patient, thereby relieving the swelling of the patient's lower limbs.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a guide plate 9 is provided between the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 6 and the outer wall of the vertical rod 10. The guide plate 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 6. The guide plate 9 has a spiral structure, which is the same as the spiral blade structure of the screw conveyor. The outer wall of the guide plate 9 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 6, and the vertical rod 10 is vertically arranged in the guide plate 9.

[0036] The outer wall of the vertical rod 10 is fixed with a slider 11 that slides along the guide plate 9. The slider 11 is fixed to the outer wall of the vertical rod 10. When the vertical rod 10 rotates, it drives the slider 11 to rotate together. The slider 11 rotates and moves upward along the top of the guide plate 9. The vertical rod 10 continues to rotate, and the slider 11 moves upward from the starting end of the guide plate 9 to the end end of the guide plate 9. During the upward movement, the slider 11 also drives the vertical rod 10 to move upward, thereby driving the massage block 18 to move upward, thereby achieving acupuncture point pressing.

[0037] After the slider 11 leaves the end of the guide plate 9, it is located above the starting end of the guide plate 9. Figure 4 As shown, the lower end of the guide plate 9 is the starting end, the upper end of the guide plate 9 is the end end, the vertical rod 10 continues to rotate, and the slider 11 moves upward from the starting end of the guide plate 9 to the end end. After the slider 11 breaks away from the end end of the guide plate 9, it is located above the starting end. Under the push of the patient's muscles, the slider 11 falls back to the starting end of the guide plate 9, and the above process is repeated. While the massage block 18 performs a circular massage, the acupoints can also be pressed intermittently to further improve the massage effect on the acupoints.

[0038] When this embodiment is used, when the vertical rod 10 rotates, the massage block 18 performs a circular massage on the acupuncture points, and the slider 11 rotates and moves upward from the starting end of the guide plate 9 to the end end under the action of the guide plate 9, so that the massage block 18 presses the acupuncture points while performing a circular massage. After the slider 11 detaches from the end end of the guide plate 9, it falls back to the starting end of the guide plate 9, and the above process is repeated. The massage block 18 can press the acupuncture points intermittently while performing a circular massage on the acupuncture points, thereby further improving the massage effect on the acupuncture points.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a ball 15 is installed on the groove wall of the limit groove. The ball 15 is installed on the groove wall of the limit groove. The ball 15 reduces the friction between the limit block 16 and the groove wall of the limit groove, ensuring that the limit block 16 drives the vertical rod 10 to rotate while the limit block 16 can move up and down along the length direction of the limit groove, avoiding the limit block 16 from being stuck in the limit groove.

[0040] like Figure 3As shown, a support rod 12 is horizontally fixed to the inner bottom of the fixed cylinder 6, and a pad 14 is vertically fixed to the front end of the support rod 12. The pad 14 is horizontally fixed to the inner bottom of the fixed cylinder 6 through the support rod 12. When the slider 11 breaks away from the end end of the guide plate 9 and falls back to the starting end of the guide plate 9, the lower end of the vertical rod 10 contacts the pad 14 first, reducing the collision between the slider 11 and the guide plate 9 and extending the service life of the guide plate 9 and the slider 11. The pad 14 is made of rubber, and the pad 14 is soft in texture and can effectively buffer the vibration of the vertical rod 10.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, a flat plate 19 is vertically fixed to the front end of the fixed cylinder 6. The flat plate 19 is fixed at the outlet of the fixed cylinder 6, and the side wall of the flat plate 19 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 6;

[0042] A through groove is provided on the flat plate 19, which is connected to the front and back. The side wall of the connecting rod 17 is attached to the groove wall of the through groove. The diameter of the through groove is the same as the diameter of the rotation path of the outer side wall of the connecting rod 17. The groove wall of the through groove supports the side wall of the connecting rod 17, thereby preventing the connecting rod 17 from tilting during rotation and improving the stability of the massage block 18 when performing circular motion.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the height from the starting end to the end end of the guide plate 9 is less than the distance between the front end of the vertical rod 10 and the flat plate 19. When the slider 11 moves along the starting end to the end end of the guide plate 9, it drives the vertical rod 10 to move upward. By limiting the distance, the flat plate 19 is prevented from blocking the up and down movement of the vertical rod 10, thereby ensuring the normal use of the massage block 18.

[0044] Example 3

[0045] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. Figure 1 As shown, the fixing assembly includes two elastic bands 2, which are respectively fixed to the left and right sides of the rubber band 3. The right end of the left elastic band 2 is fixed to the left side of the rubber band 3, and the left end of the right elastic band 2 is fixed to the right side of the rubber band 3. The two elastic bands 2 are wrapped around the patient's lower limbs to fix the rubber band 3 on the patient's lower limbs.

[0046] The movable end of the elastic band 2 is provided with a Velcro 1, the adhesive hook of the Velcro 1 is fixed to the movable end of one of the elastic bands 2, and the adhesive plate of the Velcro 1 is fixed to the movable end of the other elastic band 2. The two elastic bands 2 are connected together through the Velcro 1, and the rubber band 3 is put on the patient's lower limb.

[0047] In the fixing assembly of this embodiment, a buckle can also be used. The sub-buckle of the buckle is fixed to the movable end of one of the elastic bands 2, and the mother buckle of the buckle is fixed to the movable end of the other elastic band 2. The two elastic bands 2 are connected together through the buckle, and the rubber band 3 is put on the patient's lower limbs.

[0048] Example 4

[0049] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. Figure 1 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the silicone plate 5 are respectively located on the corresponding rubber belt 3, the upper end of the silicone plate 5 is located in front of the upper rubber belt 3, and the lower end is located in front of the lower rubber belt 3;

[0050] A fixing belt 4 is fixed on the front side wall of the rubber belt 3 to press the silicone plate 5 onto the rubber belt 3. The fixing belt 4 is wrapped around the two ends of the silicone plate 5 to press the silicone plate 5 onto the rubber belt 3. The fixing belt 4 is made of a common cotton belt, which is convenient for pulling the silicone plate 5 to adjust the position of the massage block 18.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, a non-woven fabric 8 is fixed between the rubber belts 3. The non-woven fabric 8 is fixed between the two rubber belts 3. The non-woven fabric 8 is located on the back side of the silicone plate 5. When the silicone plate 5 is attached to the patient's lower limbs, the non-woven fabric 8 covers the silicone plate 5, which plays a certain role in heat preservation and improves the comfort during use.
