[0025] Two sets of side bars 2 are provided with straps 10 on opposite sides. One side of one strap 10 is provided with a sub-hook and loop fastener 11, and one side of the other strap 10 is provided with a female hook and loop fastener 13 that cooperates with the sub-hook and loop fastener 11. Through the adhesive effect of the sub-hook and loop fastener 11 and the female hook and loop fastener 13, the two sets of straps 10 can be tied to the patient's waist. An air supply tube 5 is provided at the bottom of the air bag 3, and a pressure ball 4 is provided at the bottom of the air supply tube 5. An exhaust component is provided at the bottom inside the bar body 1.
[0026] The exhaust assembly includes an exhaust groove 14, a connecting plate 15, a pressure rod 16, a spring B17, an exhaust hole 18, and a sealing plug 19. The bottom of the rod body 1 is provided with an exhaust groove 14 that communicates with the airbag 3. One end of the exhaust groove 14 is provided with an exhaust hole 18. The pressure rod 16 is sleeved on one end of the exhaust groove 14. A groove is opened at the bottom of one end of the rod body 1. The pressure rod 16 is located inside the groove. A pressure block is provided at one end of the pressure rod 16. The groove is used to hide the pressure rod 16 to prevent accidental contact. The pressure block makes it easy to press the pressure rod 16.
[0027] A connecting plate 15 is provided at one end of the pressure rod 16. A sealing plug 19 that cooperates with the exhaust hole 18 is provided at the bottom of one end of the connecting plate 15. A spring B17 is sleeved on the outside of the pressure rod 16 for venting the airbag 3, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the support pressure of the airbag 3 on the patient's waist.
[0028] Example:
[0029] When the device is not in use, the two sets of side rods 2 can be rotated 180 degrees, and then the rotating plate 6 can be rotated 90 degrees to put the two sets of side rods 2 into the back of the rod body 1, which can reduce the size of the device and make it easier to store and carry the device. After the two sets of straps 10 are glued together, they can form a shoulder strap, which makes it easy to hang on the shoulder and carry the device.
[0030] Working principle: When using this device, elderly patients can wear the rod 1 and side rod 2 around their waist using the two sets of straps 10 with the female Velcro 11 and female Velcro 13. After wearing, the airbag 3 can be inflated by pressing the pressure ball 4. When the pressure ball 4 is pressed, the gas is delivered into the airbag 3 through the air supply tube 5, causing the airbag 3 to expand. The air pressure of the inflated airbag 3 provides support for the wearer's back. When deflating the airbag 3, the pressure bar 16 can be pressed by pressing the pressure bar 16. The pressure bar 16 can then overcome the elasticity of the spring B17 and push the connecting plate 15 to move. Then the connecting plate 15 will drive the sealing plug 19 to release the blockage of the exhaust hole 18. At this time, the gas in the airbag 3 can be discharged, making it easy to adjust the air pressure in the airbag 3, thereby providing appropriate pressure for the elderly's waist and providing good support for their waist.
[0031] After the device is worn, the rotatable characteristics of the side bar 2 and the elastic movement characteristics of the rotating plate 6 allow the side bar 2 to support the user's waist on both sides and adjust itself according to the waist movement, thereby enhancing the support effect on the user's waist.
