Specific embodiments
[0025] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0026] Referring to Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a foot-drop prevention device, including a hospital bed 5, a moving seat 1 slidably arranged on the hospital bed 5, and two foot-drop prevention devices 2 arranged on the moving seat 1. The foot-drop prevention device 2 includes two limiting plates 21 slidably arranged on the moving seat 1, and a support pad 22 rotatably arranged on the moving seat 1 and located between the two limiting plates 21. The support pad 22 can move between the two limiting plates 21. The sole of the patient abuts against the moving seat 1, and the ankle of the patient is placed on the support pad 22. The limiting plates 21 are located on both sides of the patient's foot. A cavity for placing the heel is formed between the support pad 22 and the two limiting plates 21, so that the patient's heel is suspended. An arc-shaped groove 221 is arranged on the surface of the support pad 22, and the ankle of the patient is placed in the arc-shaped groove 221. Soft pads are laid on one side of the moving seat 1, the limiting plates 21 and the support pad 22 close to the patient's foot.
[0027] The moving seat 1 includes a vertical plate 11 and a bottom plate 12 that are perpendicular to each other. The patient's sole abuts against the vertical plate 11. A first air cylinder 3 is rotatably provided on the bottom plate 12. The telescopic end of the first air cylinder 3 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support pad 22, and the first air cylinder 3 can drive the support pad 22 to rotate. A second air cylinder 4 is provided on the vertical plate 11. The telescopic end of the second air cylinder 4 is rotatably connected to the support pad 22. When the first air cylinder 3 and the second air cylinder 4 are started simultaneously, they can drive the support pad 22 to slide in the direction close to the vertical plate 11. A first sliding groove 14 is transversely provided on the moving seat 1. A first insertion strip 211 is provided on the limiting plate 21. A plurality of clamping grooves 15 are provided on both sides of the first sliding groove 14. Spring chucks 212 are provided on both sides of the first insertion strip 211. The first insertion strip 211 extends into the first sliding groove 14, and when the spring chucks 212 extend into the clamping grooves 15, the limiting plate 21 can be fixed on the moving seat 1. A second sliding groove 51 is provided on the hospital bed 5. A second insertion strip 16 is provided at the bottom of the moving seat 1. The second insertion strip 16 extends into the second sliding groove 51. A third air cylinder 6 is provided on the hospital bed 5. The telescopic end of the third air cylinder 6 is connected to the moving seat 1, and the third air cylinder 6 can push the moving seat 1 to slide.
[0028] The number of the above anti-foot-drop devices 2 can be one or two, which is specifically set according to the situation.
[0029] The above soft pad can also not be provided, which is specifically set according to the situation.
[0030] The above arc-shaped groove 221 can also not be provided, which is specifically set according to the situation.
[0031] The end of the above spring chuck 212 can be triangular, trapezoidal, arc-shaped or other structures, which is specifically set according to the situation.
[0032] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the moving seat 1 further includes a sliding plate 13 slidably provided on the bottom plate 12. The support pad 22 and the first air cylinder 3 are both provided on the top of the sliding plate 13. The telescopic end of the second air cylinder 4 is connected to the sliding plate 13. The second air cylinder 4 can drive the sliding plate 13 to slide on the bottom plate 12, so as to move the support pad 22 in the direction close to or away from the vertical plate 11. With this structure, the whole will be more stable and firm, having better load-bearing capacity, and the first air cylinder 3 and the second air cylinder 4 do not need to be started simultaneously. Starting the second air cylinder 4 alone to drive the sliding plate 13 to move can make the support pad 22 move.
[0033] The working mode of the present utility model is:
[0034] During use, place the patient's ankle and calf on the arc-shaped groove 221 of the support pad 22. At the same time, start the first cylinder 3 and the second cylinder 4 to drive the support pad 22 to move, so that the patient's sole abuts against the vertical plate 11, and the heel is located at the cavity. Then, push the limit plate 21 to both sides of the foot, and the spring chuck 212 extends into the card slot 15 to fix the limit plate 21, preventing the foot from tilting to both sides. When the head of the bed is raised, start the third cylinder 6 to push the moving seat 1 to move along the hospital bed 5 to prevent the patient from sliding down. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient and fast.
