Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of scoliosis treatment and medical device technology, specifically to a vibrating spinal rehabilitation bed. Background Technology

[0002] Scoliosis is a three-dimensional deformity of the spine, which can appear in the sagittal and coronal planes, with sagittal deformities being the most common. Idiopathic scoliosis accounts for 80% of all types of scoliosis. This type occurs during growth and development, and its cause is still unclear. It is classified into infantile, juvenile, and adolescent types. If not detected and treated promptly, it can develop into a very severe deformity and affect cardiopulmonary function, even leading to paralysis in severe cases. Currently, in addition to surgery, non-surgical treatments for scoliosis include physical therapy, gymnastics, plaster casts, and braces. However, most existing correction methods involve wearing scoliosis corrective devices. These methods are slow to take effect, prone to overcorrection, and require frequent replacement of the corrective devices, making many people reluctant to wear them. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides a convenient vibrating spinal rehabilitation bed that can assist in the treatment of scoliosis. It can rehabilitate scoliosis by vibrating the patient's upper torso.

[0004] The above objectives are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A vibrating spinal rehabilitation bed includes: a bed frame, a mattress, a vibrating unit, a moving unit, a control unit, a folding backrest and armrests, and a visual detection unit. The control unit is connected to the bed frame via a retractable control panel and flexible support. The moving unit is fixed below the bed frame and connected to the vibrating unit, driving the vibrating unit to move along the patient's spine. The vibrating unit is fixed on the moving platform of the moving unit. The folding backrest and armrests are connected to the side of the bed frame via a rotating shaft. The visual detection unit is fixed above the bed frame via a camera mount. The mattress is placed on the bed board.

[0006] The bed frame includes a headboard, bed board, bed foot, foldable armrests, bed body, medical casters, folding backrest armrest motor storage box cover, bed body, folding backrest armrest motor, folding backrest armrest motor fixing bracket, gear one, and gear two. The bed board has vertical grooves along its length. Folding backrest armrests are installed on the sides of the bed body and can be flipped over and placed under the bed body when the patient gets in and out of bed. Medical casters are installed under the bed body. The medical casters facilitate the movement of the vibration spinal rehabilitation bed and have a locking function to restrict the movement of the bed body when it is in place.

[0007] The mattress is a foldable mattress, consisting of four independent mattress panels: the upper right, upper middle, upper left, and lower part of the mattress. These parts are connected by zippers, making it easy to disassemble and replace each part.

[0008] The vibration unit includes: a sealed box, a power supply, a stepper motor, a motor connecting plate, a reducer, a reducer mounting plate, a vibration pad, a rocker arm, a nut and pin 1, a connecting rod, a nut and pin 2, a crank, and a rocker arm bracket. The crank-rocker mechanism consists of a crank, a nut and pin 1, a connecting rod, a nut and pin 2, and a rocker arm; the crank-rocker mechanism is driven by stepper motor 1; the end of the rocker arm is connected to the rocker arm bracket; the vibration pad is mounted on the rocker arm and is driven by stepper motor 1 to the crank-rocker mechanism, thereby causing the vibration pad to move up and down; stepper motor 1 is connected to the reducer by the motor connecting plate; the reducer is fixed by the reducer mounting plate.

[0009] The moving part is a double-track ball screw module slide, including: a bottom profile, guide rails, a stepper motor, a motor connecting plate, a perforated coupling, a proximal motor bearing housing, a ball screw, a sliding platform, and a distal motor bearing housing. The moving part is located below the vibrating part, and the sliding platform is connected to the vibrating part. The ball screw is driven by the motor in the moving part, which moves the sliding platform back and forth, thereby enabling the vibrating part to move back and forth along the patient's spine.

[0010] The control unit is a membrane keyboard controller, including: a membrane control board, a housing, clips, a flexible support for the control board, a display screen, and buttons. The control unit features a retractable flexible support for the control board, which can be retracted and placed at the head of the bed or pulled out for operation, or it can be fixed to the control unit support by clips; the membrane control board is integrated into the housing; the control unit connects to the bed frame via the retractable support, enabling functions such as power on / off, start / pause, vibration intensity selection, position adjustment, folding backrest and armrest control, and visual detection; the display screen shows relevant information about the current vibration spinal rehabilitation bed.

[0011] The folding backrest armrest includes: armrest, handle, backrest, electromagnet storage box, bearing, linkage system, rotating shaft, stepper motor cover, stepper motor five, electromagnet one, short connecting rod, long connecting rod, and electromagnet two. The folding backrest armrest is connected to the side of the bed via the rotating shaft, preventing the patient from rolling off the bed and facilitating their getting up. During treatment, it can extend and clamp to prevent misalignment of the spine and vibrating areas. The folding backrest armrest has a handle at the top, which is ergonomically designed for the patient to hold onto during rehabilitation, thus maintaining stability. It can be folded up and placed under the bed when the patient gets in or out.

[0012] The visual inspection unit includes: a camera support mounting plate, a camera support, a camera mounting base, and a camera, which is used to detect the position of the patient's upper torso and analyze the scoliosis morphology, and transmits data to the control unit via Ethernet.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a vibrating spinal rehabilitation bed. For patients lying on their side, the vibrating pad vibrates up and down to rehabilitate scoliosis. The vibrating part moves back and forth along the patient's spine under the action of the moving part, facilitating vibration therapy for different patients and different locations of spinal lesions. This rehabilitation bed has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and has good effects, providing a good auxiliary therapeutic effect for scoliosis. Attached Figure Description
