Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a fixator, in particular to a leg acupuncture fixator. Background Art

[0002] Acupuncture is a general term for acupuncture and moxibustion. Acupuncture refers to the use of acupuncture techniques such as twisting and lifting to stimulate specific parts of the human body under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine theory, inserting needles into the patient's body at a certain angle to achieve the purpose of treating diseases.

[0003] The sequelae of stroke patients usually manifest as inconvenience in legs and feet. Therefore, stroke patients are generally treated with acupuncture on the legs. During the treatment process, the legs of stroke patients are likely to have knee jerk reflexes, which will affect the acupuncture treatment. Therefore, the legs of stroke patients need to be fixed. At present, there are generally two ways to fix the legs of stroke patients. The first way is for family members to press the patient's knees. Since the knee jerk reflex is a movement of the lower limbs caused by neural ejection, it is an action completed in an instant. The reaction speed of family members is limited, and it is difficult to press the patient's knees in time, resulting in the patient's legs still being prone to movement. The fixing effect is poor. The second way is to use straps or Velcro to fix the patient's legs to the bed. In order to achieve a better fixing effect, the patient's legs are generally tied firmly to prevent the patient's legs from moving. This will not only cause pressure on the patient's legs and cause harm, but also forcibly suppress the patient's knee jerk reflex, which is likely to cause ligament strain in the patient's legs. It is less safe. After acupuncture is completed, the needle will be inserted into the patient's legs for a period of time. At this time, the straps or Velcro need to be tied to the patient's legs all the time, making the patient's legs completely unable to move. Over time, the patient's legs are prone to numbness, affecting the patient's experience and comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art in fixing the patient's legs, such as poor fixation effect, easy damage to the patient's legs, and low safety, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a leg acupuncture fixator that can improve the fixation effect and safety.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical approaches:

[0006] The lifting mechanism is used to drive the lifting plate to swing up and down, and the limiting mechanism is used to limit the rotating sleeve.

[0007] In one embodiment, the fixing assembly includes a fixing plate and a rubber clamping block. The fixing plate is rotatably connected to the arc plate. The fixing plate is connected to a rubber clamping block, and the rubber clamping block can clamp the arc plate.

[0008] In one embodiment, the limiting assembly includes an electromagnet, and two electromagnets are connected to each sliding seat.

[0009] In one embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a fixed seat, a driving cylinder and a connecting plate. The fixed seat is connected to the seat, the driving cylinder is rotatably connected to the fixed seat and can swing up and down, the connecting plate is connected to the lifting plate, and the connecting plate is connected to the telescopic rod of the driving cylinder to drive the lifting plate to swing up and down, and the driving cylinder can make the lifting plate swing.

[0010] In one embodiment, the limiting mechanism includes a fixed guide rail, a clamping plate and a driving member. Two groups of fixed guide rails are connected to the lifting plate, and each group of fixed guide rails has two members. Two clamping plates are slidingly connected between the two fixed guide rails in the same group. The driving member is used to drive the clamping plate to move toward the side close to the rotating sleeve.

[0011] In one embodiment, the driving member is an electric push rod, and four electric push rods are connected to the lifting plate at intervals, and the telescopic rods of the four electric push rods are respectively connected to the four clamping plates.

[0012] In one embodiment, the lifting plate is made of iron, so that the electromagnet can attract the lifting plate when it is energized.

[0013] In one embodiment, an adjustment mechanism is also included, which includes a water tank, a water bag and a water pipe. The water tank is connected to the seat, and a water pump is installed in the water tank. Water bags are installed on the curved plate and the fixed plate. Water pipes are connected between the water bag and the water tank, and the water pipe on the lower side is connected to the water outlet of the water pump.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The present invention clamps the curved plate with a rubber clamp, so that the curved plate and the fixing plate can fix the patient's legs, eliminating the need for family members to press the patient's knees, thereby improving the fixation effect.

[0016] 2. When the patient's leg has a knee jerk reflex, it can pull the sliding rod slightly upwards, and the reset spring stretches to act as a buffer. At the same time, the limit spring can limit the sliding rod, so that the patient's calf can have a certain amount of room for movement, preventing the patient's leg from suffering ligament strain and improving safety.

[0017] 3. After the acupuncture treatment on the patient's legs is completed, the electric push rod can be used to drive the clamping plates to move away from each other, so that the clamping plates release the rotating sleeve. At this time, the rotating sleeve can rotate slightly around the sliding seat, allowing the patient's legs to swing slightly back and forth. This will not affect the acupuncture effect, but also prevent numbness in the patient's legs and improve comfort.

[0018] 4. The present invention can transport water to the water bag through the water pump in the water storage tank, so that the water bag can be expanded, so that the patient's legs can be better fixed through the water bag, and it can adapt to the different sizes of legs of different patients, and has a wide range of applications.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] A leg acupuncture fixator, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, it includes a lifting plate 2, a sliding seat 3, an arc plate 4, a fixing assembly, a limiting assembly, a rotating sleeve 7, a sliding rod 8, a sliding plate 9, a return spring 10, a limiting spring 11, a lifting mechanism 12 and a limiting mechanism 13. The right side of the seat 1 is rotatably connected to the lifting plate 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the right side of the lifting plate 2 is symmetrically connected to the sliding seat 3 in a sliding manner. There are four sliding seats 3. The right side of the sliding seat 3 is provided with an arc plate 4. The arc plate 4 is provided with a fixing component, and the sliding seat 3 is provided with a limit component, such as Figure 5As shown, the middle of the sliding seat 3 is rotatably connected to a rotating sleeve 7, and the rotating sleeve 7 is slidably connected to a sliding rod 8. The upper end of the sliding rod 8 is connected to the arc plate 4, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, a return spring 10 is connected between the lower end of the sliding rod 8 and the rotating sleeve 7. When the patient's leg has a knee jerk reflex, the sliding rod 8 can be driven to move upward, and the return spring 10 is stretched to act as a buffer. A sliding plate 9 is slidably connected to the sliding rod 8, and a limiting spring 11 is connected between the sliding plate 9 and the rotating sleeve 7. The limiting spring 11 is pressed against the top of the sliding plate 9, so that the sliding rod 8 can be limited by the sliding plate 9, thereby limiting the patient's legs, so that the patient's legs have a little room for movement, but it does not affect the doctor's acupuncture process. A lifting mechanism 12 is provided on the chair 1, and a limiting mechanism 13 is provided on the lifting plate 2.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing assembly includes a fixing plate 5 and a rubber clamp 51. The arc-shaped plate 4 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 5. The material of the fixing plate 5 is relatively soft. The fixing plate 5 is connected to the rubber clamp 51, which can clamp the arc-shaped plate 4.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the limiting assembly includes an electromagnet 6, and the left side of the sliding seat 3 is symmetrically connected to the electromagnet 6. The lifting plate 2 is made of iron, so that the electromagnet 6 can absorb the lifting plate 2 when it is energized.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the lifting mechanism 12 includes a fixed seat 121, a driving cylinder 122 and a connecting plate 123. The fixed seat 121 is welded on the seat 1. The lower part of the fixed seat 121 is rotatably connected to the driving cylinder 122. The connecting plate 123 is connected to the middle part of the left side of the lifting plate 2. The right end of the telescopic rod of the driving cylinder 122 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 123. The telescopic rod of the driving cylinder 122 is extended to push the lifting plate 2 to rotate upward and lift the patient's legs upward.

[0036] like Figure 8As shown, the limiting mechanism 13 includes a fixed guide rail 131, a clamping plate 132 and a driving member. The fixed guide rail 131 is symmetrically welded on the upper and lower left sides of the lifting plate 2. The number of the fixed guide rails 131 is four. Two clamping plates 132 are slidably connected between the two fixed guide rails 131 on the front side, and two clamping plates 132 are also slidably connected between the two fixed guide rails 131 on the rear side. When the clamping plate 132 moves toward the side close to the rotating sleeve 7, it can clamp the rotating sleeve 7 to prevent the patient's legs from shaking. The driving member is used to drive the clamping plate 132 to move toward the side close to the rotating sleeve 7. The driving member is an electric push rod 133. Four electric push rods 133 are bolted at intervals on the left side of the lifting plate 2. The telescopic rods of the four electric push rods 133 are respectively connected to the four clamping plates 132.

[0037] Initially, the clamping plate 132 clamps the rotating sleeve 7, and the rotating sleeve 7 cannot rotate. First, let the patient sit on the chair 1, and then place the legs between the two curved plates 4 on the front side and the two curved plates 4 on the back side respectively. Then control the electromagnet 6 to cut off the power and release the lifting plate 2. At this time, the sliding seat 3 can be moved up and down, driving the curved plate 4 and the fixed plate 5 to move up and down to adjust the position. Then control the electromagnet 6 to energize and attract the lifting plate 2, which can fix the position of the curved plate 4 and the fixed plate 5, and then the fixed plate 5 The rubber clamping block 51 rotates toward the side close to each other, so that the rubber clamping block 51 clamps the arc plate 4, and the patient's legs can be clamped by the arc plate 4 and the fixing plate 5 to improve the fixing effect. The material of the fixing plate 5 is relatively soft, which can prevent the patient's legs from being squeezed. Then, the connecting plate 123 and the lifting plate 2 are driven upward by the driving cylinder 122 to rotate upward, and the patient's legs can be lifted up, so that the patient lies on the chair 1. At this time, the doctor can perform acupuncture on the patient's legs. When the patient's leg is in a state of knee jerk reflex, the patient's calf will kick upward, driving the curved plate 4 and the fixed plate 5 to move upward, thereby driving the sliding rod 8 to move upward, and the return spring 10 is stretched. When the lower end of the sliding rod 8 contacts the sliding plate 9, the elastic force of the limit spring 11 can resist the sliding plate 9, thereby limiting the sliding rod 8, and the patient's calf cannot continue to kick upward. Then the return spring 10 returns to its original state, driving the sliding rod 8 to slide downward and reset, thereby driving the patient's calf to reset. In this way, the patient's calf has a certain amount of room for movement, preventing the patient's leg from suffering ligament strain and improving safety. When acupuncture is completed, the electric push rod 133 can drive the clamping plate 132 to move away from each other, so that the clamping plate 132 releases the rotating sleeve 7. At this time, the rotating sleeve 7 can rotate slightly around the sliding seat 3, so that the patient's leg can be slightly deviated forward and backward, which will not affect the acupuncture effect and can also give the patient's leg a certain amount of room for movement to prevent the patient's leg from suffering numbness.

[0038] like Figure 1 、 Figure 9and Figure 10 As shown, it also includes an adjustment mechanism 14, which includes a water tank 141, a water bag 142 and a water pipe 143. The water tank 141 is connected to the seat 1, and a water pump is installed in the water tank 141. Water bags 142 are installed on the right side of the curved plate 4 and the left side of the fixed plate 5. The expansion of the water bag 142 can better fix the patient's legs. The water bag 142 and the water tank 141 are connected by a water pipe 143, and the lower water pipe 143 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump.

[0039] Initially, a certain amount of water is contained in the water tank 141. When the rubber block 51 is stuck to the curved plate 4, the water can be transported to the water pipe 143 on the lower side through the water pump in the water tank 141, so that the water can be transported to the water bag 142, causing the water bag 142 to expand. The patient's legs are fixed by the water bag 142, which will not cause harm to the patient's legs, but also have a good fixing effect, and can adapt to the different sizes of legs of different patients, with a wide range of applications. At the same time, when the weather is cold, the doctor can replace the water in the water tank 141 with warm water. In this way, the patient's experience comfort can be improved, the blood vessels can be activated, and the effect of acupuncture treatment can be improved.

[0040] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit of the present invention are intended to be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
