Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of splint equipment for fractured limbs, and in particular to an orthopedic splint installation and fastening device. Background Technology
[0002] In orthopedic clinical treatment, fixation after fracture reduction is a crucial step in ensuring healing. Splint fixation is widely used in the treatment of limb fractures due to its advantages such as ease of operation and minimal limb damage. However, existing orthopedic splints still have many problems that urgently need to be solved in practical use: Traditional orthopedic splints mainly rely on medical staff to manually wrap bandages to achieve fastening. The amount of tightening force depends entirely on personal experience, which can easily lead to excessive local pressure or uneven distribution, resulting in skin damage and impaired blood circulation in the affected limb. In severe cases, it may cause complications such as tissue necrosis. At the same time, manual wrapping is inefficient and cannot be completed quickly in emergency treatment or mass casualty handling scenarios, which may delay the best treatment time. For example, patent application number 201710125973.1 discloses a medical orthopedic splint device that can quickly wrap a bandage around the affected limb using a first and second clamping block. However, existing technology lacks a flexible adjustment mechanism. Patients often experience limb swelling after a fracture, and the degree of swelling changes dynamically with the treatment process. Traditional splints cannot adapt to this change, requiring repeated disassembly, reassembly, and even replacement with splints of different sizes. This is not only cumbersome but may also interfere with the fracture reduction effect during disassembly, affecting the stability of the treatment. In addition, different patients have different limb sizes and fracture locations, and traditional splints have poor versatility, requiring the preparation of multiple sizes in advance, increasing medical costs and storage pressure.

Detailed Implementation
[0031] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, and the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0032] like Figure 1-15 As shown, the present invention provides an orthopedic splint installation and fastening device, comprising two interconnected clamping kits with adjustable spacing and connection angle, the clamping kits being used to clamp and fix the affected limb; The clamping kit includes two sets of interlocking and detachable clamping units, each clamping unit having an arc-shaped structure and capable of changing its diameter; The clamping unit includes two coaxially arranged clamping frames 1, which are connected by a scissor-type cross structure. Clamping ends that can move outwards are slidably connected to both sides of the surface of each clamping frame 1 to adjust the clamping range. A scissor-type structure that can be inserted between the left and right corresponding clamping frames 1 is installed to connect the two clamping units. During connection, the scissor-type structures of the two clamping units are aligned, and the two sets of connecting rods are engaged by the insertion action of the connecting rod 19. After initial positioning, subsequent tightening operations can be performed. This shortens the installation time of a single splint, reduces the workload of medical staff, is suitable for efficient treatment scenarios such as emergency rooms, simplifies the installation process, improves splint fixation efficiency, and meets the dynamic adjustment needs of patients with limb swelling.
[0033] The outer ends of the scissor cross structure and the scissor structure are respectively equipped with a one-way self-locking structure. Under the action of the one-way self-locking structure, the scissor cross structure and the scissor structure can only move in the direction of reducing the diameter of the control clamping unit. When the clamping unit needs to expand its diameter, the engagement state of the one-way self-locking structure needs to be released by external force to ensure the controllability of the adjustment process.
[0034] The scissor-type cross structure includes two intersecting first cross rods 2 and second cross rods 3. One end of each cross rod is hinged to a corresponding clamping frame 1, and the other end is hinged to an elastic sliding component, which is connected to the corresponding clamping frame 1. A hinge shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the second cross rod 3. The first cross rod 2 is rotatably connected to the hinge shaft 8, and the hinge shaft 8 is connected to the one-way self-locking structure for transmission. When adjusting the diameter of the clamping unit, the first cross rod 2 and the second cross rod 3 rotate relative to each other around the hinge shaft 8. The movement distance of the rods is compensated by the extension and retraction of the elastic sliding component. At the same time, the hinge shaft 8 synchronously drives the one-way self-locking structure to operate, realizing real-time self-locking during the adjustment process.
[0035] The scissor structure includes two sets of linkage structures. Each linkage structure includes a first connecting rod 6, a second connecting rod 7, a mounting cylinder 17, and a connecting rod 19. The outer end of the second connecting rod 7 is hinged to a corresponding clamping frame 1. The outer ends of the first connecting rod 6 are respectively hinged to elastic sliding components, which are respectively connected to the corresponding clamping frames 1. Each elastic sliding component includes a mounting slider 4, which is slidably connected to the corresponding clamping frame 1. The outer ends of the first cross rod 2, the second cross rod 3, and the first connecting rod 6 are respectively hinged to the mounting slider 4. The outer ends of the mounting slider 4 are respectively fixedly connected to a support spring 5, and the other end of the support spring 5 is fixedly connected to the clamping frame 1. The support spring 5 is always in a pre-tensioned state, providing inward elastic force to the mounting slider 4, ensuring that the scissor structure and the scissor cross structure remain stable when there is no external force adjustment. The inner end of the second connecting rod 7 on the left is fixedly connected to the mounting cylinder 17, and the inner end of the first connecting rod 6 on the left is fixedly connected to the mounting cylinder 17. The sleeve 17 is rotatably connected; the inner end of the first docking rod 6 on the right is splinedly connected to the connecting rod 19, wherein the end of the first docking rod 6 connected to the connecting rod 19 is provided with an installation hole, and multiple limiting protrusions 26 are fixedly connected inside the installation hole. Multiple limiting grooves 25 are provided on the surface of the connecting rod 19. The limiting protrusions 26 and the limiting grooves 25 are splinedly engaged, so that the connecting rod 19 maintains the linkage effect with the first docking rod 6 while moving axially. When the scissor structure is opened and closed, it can drive the connecting rod 19 to rotate; the inner end of the second docking rod 7 on the right is sleeved with the connecting rod 19; the lower end of the second docking rod 7 on the right is coaxially fixedly connected to the fixed sleeve 18 with openings at both ends. The lower end of the connecting rod 19 passes through the lower opening of the fixed sleeve 18 and the lower end of the connecting rod 19 is fixedly connected to the control handle 22. A spring baffle 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting rod 19 located inside the fixed sleeve 18, and a return spring 23 is sleeved on the surface of the connecting rod 19 below the spring baffle 24. During operation, pressing the control handle 22 drives the connecting rod 19 to move axially along the fixed cylinder 18. The spring baffle 24 compresses the return spring 23, causing the connecting joint 20 of the connecting rod 19 to engage with the mating groove 21 of the transmission column 9. Rotating the control handle 22 causes the scissor structure to retract. After releasing the control handle 22, the return spring 23 pushes the spring baffle 24 to reset, and the connecting joint 20 separates from the mating groove 21, completing one adjustment cycle.
[0036] The one-way self-locking structure includes a transmission column 9 coaxially fixedly connected to the mounting cylinder 17 and the hinge shaft 8. The transmission column 9, fixedly connected to the mounting cylinder 17, has a mating groove 21 at one end facing the connecting rod 19. A connecting joint 20 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 19 corresponding to the mating groove 21. When the connecting rod 19 moves, synchronous transmission between the connecting rod 19 and the transmission column 9 is achieved through the engagement of the connecting joint 20 and the mating groove 21. The connecting joint 20 has a frustoconical toothed structure, and the engagement of the mating groove 21 with the connecting joint 20 facilitates axial mating engagement between the connecting joint 20 and the mating groove 21. After the groove 21 engages, the connecting rod 19 and the transmission column 9 are linked. The surface of the transmission column 9 is rotatably connected to the mating cylinder 55, which is fixedly connected to the corresponding second cross rod 3 and first docking rod 6. The surface of the transmission column 9 is fixedly connected to the ratchet 10, and the ratchet blocks 11 are engaged on the corresponding two sides of the ratchet 10. The ratchet blocks 11 are radially slidably connected to the inner wall of the mating cylinder 55. The outer ends of the ratchet blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the spring plates 12, and the other ends of the spring plates 12 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mating cylinder 55. The one-way self-locking effect is achieved under the engagement of the ratchet blocks 11 and the ratchet 10. When the drive column 9 rotates with the connecting rod 19 or the hinge shaft 8, the ratchet 10 pushes the ratchet block 11 to slide radially along the inner wall of the mating cylinder 55, and the spring plate 12 is compressed. When the ratchet 10 rotates to the next tooth groove, the spring plate 12 resets and pushes the ratchet block 11 to engage in the tooth groove, restricting the reverse rotation of the drive column 9, thereby realizing the unidirectional contraction self-locking of the scissor structure and the scissor cross structure.
[0037] The outer ends of the mating cylinder 55 are axially slidably connected to pressure rings 13. Push plates 14 are respectively provided on one side of the clamping block. The upper ends of the push plates 14 are fixedly connected to the pressure rings 13. An inclined groove 16 is formed on the surface of the push plates 14. A connecting pin 15 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping block. The connecting pin 15 is slidably engaged with the inclined groove 16. When the push plates 14 move, the engagement and disengagement of the ratchet block 11 and the ratchet wheel 10 can be controlled through the sliding engagement of the inclined groove 16 and the connecting pin 15. When self-locking needs to be released, the pressure rings 13 are axially pushed to move the push plates 14. The inclined grooves 16, through the connecting pin 15, drive the ratchet block 11 to slide away from the ratchet wheel 10, causing the ratchet block 11 to disengage from the ratchet wheel 10. At this time, the transmission column 9 can rotate freely, realizing the adjustment of the clamping unit diameter. After adjustment, the pressure rings 13 are released, and the spring plate 12 pushes the ratchet block 11 to reset and re-engage.
[0038] The clamping end includes clamping blocks, and an arc-shaped plate 33 is slidably connected between the upper and lower corresponding clamping blocks. A sliding plate 35 and a mating plate 36 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of two adjacent arc-shaped plates 33. The sliding plate 35 is slidably connected to the mating plate 36. A fixing bolt 37 is rotatably connected to the surface of each sliding plate 35, and a pressure plate 38 for applying pressure to the mating plate 36 is fixedly connected to the surface of each fixing bolt 37. When adjusting the clamping range, the arc-shaped plate 33 is pushed to make the sliding plate 35 slide along the mating plate 36 until the clamping end covers the area of the affected limb requiring fixation. The fixing bolt 37 is rotated to drive the pressure plate 38 to press the mating plate 36 tightly. The relative position of the sliding plate 35 and the mating plate 36 is fixed by friction, thereby locking the clamping range.
[0039] The clamping block includes a movable plate 27, an overlapping and fixedly arranged connecting plate 28 connected to the inner end of the movable plate 27, an airbag 29, and a clamping pad 30. The movable plate 27 is slidably connected to the clamping frame 1. The clamping pad 30 is made of a breathable material that can deform. A plurality of evenly arranged pressure sensors 45 are fixedly connected to the end of the clamping pad 30 that contacts the affected limb. These sensors are used to detect the clamping pressure on the affected limb, monitor the contact pressure between the clamp and the limb in real time, and provide feedback data to assist medical staff in precise control. The pressure sensors 45 transmit the detected pressure signals in real time, and medical staff can adjust the clamping force according to the feedback data to avoid excessive or insufficient pressure.
[0040] The outer end surface of the movable plate 27 is fixedly connected to two connecting cylinders 31 with openings at both ends. A pressure bolt 43 is threadedly connected to the outer end opening of the connecting cylinder 31. A second piston plate 42 is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure bolt 43 inside the connecting cylinder 31. A sliding rod 39 is hinged to the outer end of the connecting plate 28. A first piston plate 40 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 39 located in the connecting cylinder 31. A buffer spring 41 is fixedly connected between the first piston plate 40 and the second piston plate 42. Rotating the pressure bolt 43 pushes the second piston plate 42 to move axially along the connecting cylinder 31, and the buffer spring... Spring 41 transmits pressure to the first piston plate 40, which drives slide rod 39 to push connecting plate 28 to contract, thereby causing airbag 29 and clamping pad 30 to apply pressure towards the affected limb. Buffer spring 41 can absorb the impact force generated by limb movement and maintain stable pressure. The fastening force can be dynamically adjusted without disassembly, achieving precise and uniform control of the orthopedic splint's fastening force, avoiding excessive local pressure or loosening of the fixation. It adapts to changes in the patient's limb swelling, improving treatment comfort and safety. The uniformity of pressure between the splint and the limb is improved, reducing the risk of complications such as skin damage and blood circulation disorders caused by uneven pressure.
[0041] One end of one of the clamping pads 30 is fixedly connected to an extension plate 44, and the other end of the extension plate 44 is slidably connected to the corresponding clamping pad 30. The clamping range can be increased by controlling the movement of the moving plate 27. The extension plate 44 is used to assist in clamping. When the clamping range expands, the extension plate 44 slides out from the corresponding clamping pad 30 to fill the gap between the two clamping pads 30, ensuring the continuity of the clamping surface and avoiding local suspension that would cause pressure concentration.
[0042] The arc-shaped plate 33 has arc-shaped grooves 34 on its upper and lower sides. The connecting cylinders 31 slide in conjunction with the arc-shaped grooves 34. A blocking ring 32 is fixedly connected to the surface of each connecting cylinder 31, and the blocking ring 32 is located on the outer side of the arc-shaped plate 33. The arc-shaped grooves 34 provide sliding guidance for the connecting cylinders 31, ensuring that the moving plate 27 moves along an arc-shaped trajectory. The blocking rings 32 prevent the connecting cylinders 31 from detaching from the arc-shaped grooves 34, ensuring the stability of the structural connection.
[0043] Two corresponding arc-shaped plates 33 are respectively fixedly connected to their inner ends with joint plates 46. The surfaces of the joint plates 46 are respectively provided with connecting grooves 54. Connecting sliders 47 are slidably connected inside the connecting grooves 54. One of the connecting sliders 47 is fixedly connected to the surface of a connecting screw 48, and the other connecting slider 47 is rotatably connected to the connecting screw 48. An adjusting knob 51 is threadedly connected to the surface of the connecting screw 48. A rubber pad 52 is fixedly connected to the end of the adjusting knob 51 facing the joint plate 46. By rotating the adjusting knob 51, the pressure of the rubber pad 52 on the joint plate 46 is increased, so that the two joint plates 46 cannot rotate relative to each other. When the adjusting knob 51 is rotated, the adjusting knob 51 moves axially along the connecting screw 48 by means of thread transmission. The rubber pad 52 is tightly attached to the surface of the joint plate 46, and the rotation of the joint plate 46 is restricted by friction, thereby fixing the connection angle of the clamping kit.
[0044] A positioning plate 49 is rotatably connected to the surface of the adjustment knob 51. Rubber balls 53 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the positioning plate 49, and the rubber balls 53 are respectively set corresponding to the joint plate 46. Limiting rods 50 are slidably connected to the upper and lower sides of the surface of the positioning plate 49. One end of the limiting rod 50 is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting slider 47. When adjusting the spacing of the clamping kit, the connecting slider 47 slides along the connecting groove 54. The limiting rod 50 provides guidance for the positioning plate 49. Rotating the adjustment knob 51 drives the positioning plate 49 to move, so that the rubber balls 53 press against the surface of the joint plate 46. The position of the connecting slider 47 is fixed by friction, thereby locking the spacing of the clamping kit, so that the patient can keep the affected limb in a fixed state when moving it.
[0045] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the spirit of the invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them.
