Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an adjustable intelligent spinal rehabilitation device, belonging to the field of spinal rehabilitation technology. Background Technology

[0002] Adolescent spinal rehabilitation generally involves wearing a spinal brace. The brace applies pressure to the curved parts of the spine over a long period of time, and by maintaining this pressure, it promotes the spine to grow in the normal direction, thereby improving the curvature of the spine. At the same time, patients undergoing spinal rehabilitation can receive rehabilitation treatment with the help of medical staff. During the recovery period, patients often experience limited movement, spasms, and pain in their upper limbs, such as shoulder abduction, chest flexion, and lateral bending. These functional impairments can be alleviated through training that maintains a certain range of joint mobility.

[0003] Chinese invention patent publication number CN114748229A discloses "An Adjustable Intelligent Spinal Rehabilitation Device," including a rehabilitation brace. The device is characterized by having a spinal rehabilitation module and a control device. The spinal rehabilitation module includes at least two adjustable airbags and an inflation device for controlling the airbags. The adjustable airbags are positioned on the side closest to the body, and the inflation device controls the airbag pressure. The control device includes a pressure information monitoring device and a flexible pressure sensor. The flexible pressure sensor is attached to the surface of the adjustable airbag, and the pressure information monitoring device monitors the pressure value at the stress points. The pressure information monitoring device is wirelessly connected to a matching mobile app. This device measures the pressure exerted on the body at each stress point of the brace in real time, saves the pressure data at each pressure point, and tracks the time adolescents wear the brace, achieving intelligent and quantitative rehabilitation effects.

[0004] Existing intelligent spinal rehabilitation devices use pressure information monitoring devices and flexible pressure sensors to easily monitor the pressure at each point of application and record the user's wearing time for intelligent management. However, the overall rehabilitation device is quite restrictive, which makes it inconvenient for the user's exercise rehabilitation and reduces its practicality.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve spinal rehabilitation devices to solve the aforementioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable intelligent spinal rehabilitation device. A low-speed motor drives a transmission gear to rotate, which in turn moves a positioning rack, allowing a rotating plate to move on a wearable frame. This facilitates the user's body rotation and enables left-right swaying movements of the spine. Additionally, an electric push rod moves a shoulder limiting plate, allowing the user's shoulders to spread apart, facilitating expansion movements and increasing the flexibility of the rehabilitation device. This allows for simultaneous spinal limitation and rehabilitation exercises, thus improving practicality.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the main technical solutions adopted by the present invention include:

[0008] An adjustable intelligent spinal rehabilitation device includes a wearable frame, a binding strap at the front end of the wearable frame, a rotating plate at the upper end of the wearable frame, an adjustment component at the rear end of the rotating plate, a connecting plate above the rotating plate, an electric push rod at the rear end of the connecting plate, a shoulder limiting plate at the output end of the electric push rod, a limiting strap at the front end of the shoulder limiting plate, a support component at the front end of the connecting plate, binding straps on the side of the connecting plate, and a control panel fixedly mounted on the surface of the binding straps.

[0009] With the above technical solution, during use, the user wears the device on the hip and secures it with the binding straps. This allows the connecting plate to fit against the outside of the waist, enabling the support components to support and limit the lumbar spine. At the same time, the position of the shoulder limiting plate is adjusted, and the limiting straps are used to ensure that the shoulder limiting plate fits and is fixed to the user's shoulders, spreading the user's shoulders and ensuring that the rehabilitation device supports and limits the user's spine. The binding straps are also tied to the user's chest to increase the stability of the device.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating plate and the wearing frame are adapted to each other, the upper end surface of the wearing frame is provided with a guide groove, and a guide slider is fixedly connected to the front side of the lower end of the rotating plate, and the guide slider and the guide groove are slidably connected.

[0011] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a fixed frame, a transmission gear, a positioning rack, and a low-speed motor. The fixed frame is fixedly connected to the rear end of the wearable frame. The transmission gear is provided on the inner side of the fixed frame. The positioning rack is provided at the rear end of the rotating plate. The low-speed motor is fixedly installed at the upper end of the fixed frame.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing frame has a U-shaped structure design, the lower end of the transmission gear and the fixing frame are rotatably connected through a connecting shaft, the transmission gear and the positioning rack are meshed, and the output end of the low-speed motor extends to the inner side of the fixing frame and is fixedly connected to the upper end of the transmission gear.

[0013] The above technical solution utilizes a low-speed motor to drive the transmission gear to rotate, which in turn pushes the positioning rack, causing the rotating plate to move on the wear frame and adjust the position of the connecting plate. The forward and reverse rotation of the low-speed motor causes the rotating plate to move left and right, allowing the user to easily rotate their upper body left and right while wearing the device, thus achieving a left-right swinging motion of the spine and ensuring the rehabilitation effect.

[0014] Preferably, support rods are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the upper end of the rotating plate, a positioning block is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support rod, a connecting seat is sleeved on the outer side of the support rod, the front ends of the two connecting seats are fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and a locking bolt is threaded to the rear end of the connecting seat.

[0015] The above technical solution allows for easy adjustment of the height of the connecting plate by sliding the support rod and the connecting seat. By rotating the locking bolt, the locking bolt and the support rod are made to fit together, thus limiting and fixing the connecting seat, making it suitable for users of different heights.

[0016] Preferably, there are two electric push rods symmetrically arranged about the vertical center line of the connecting plate, and the fixed ends of the two electric push rods are rotatably connected to the connecting plate through a connecting shaft, and the output end of the electric push rod is rotatably connected to the rear end of the shoulder limiting plate;

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the extension and retraction of the two electric push rods facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the shoulder limiting plate and the connecting plate. Furthermore, the angle of the shoulder limiting plate can be easily changed by rotating the electric push rods, making the shoulder limiting plate fit the user better, facilitating the connection to the user's shoulder, and improving flexibility.

[0018] Preferably, the support assembly includes a mounting plate, a movable plate, a pressure sensor, a support pad, a threaded rod, and an adjusting handle. The movable plate is sleeved on the front end of the mounting plate, a pressure sensor is provided on the inner side of the movable plate, a support pad is fixedly connected to the front end of the movable plate, a threaded rod is provided at the rear end of the mounting plate, and an adjusting handle is fixedly connected to the rear end of the threaded rod extending to the outer side of the connecting plate.

[0019] Preferably, the pressure sensors are evenly spaced, the rear end of the pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the mounting plate, the front end of the pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the support pad, the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the connecting plate, and the front end of the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the mounting plate through a bearing.

[0020] The above technical solution utilizes a support pad to contact the user's lower back, providing limited support for the lumbar spine. The position of the support pad can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment handle to drive the threaded rod, making it suitable for different users. Furthermore, a pressure sensor can detect the force applied by the support pad to the user, facilitating manual control and adjustment, and recording changes in force.

[0021] Preferably, the control panel is equipped with an information processing module and a wireless communication module, and the control panel is electrically connected to the pressure sensor, the low-speed motor, and the electric push rod.

[0022] Through the above technical solutions, the intelligent control of the control panel 11 facilitates operation and use, thus improving convenience.

[0023] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0024] 1. The wearer is worn around the user's hips and secured with straps. This allows the support pad to support the user's lower back. The position of the shoulder limiting plates is adjusted, and the limiting straps connect the shoulder limiting plates to the user's shoulders. This utilizes the support pad to limit and support the lower back, while the shoulder limiting plates on both sides limit the user's shoulders, thus supporting the entire spine. Simultaneously, a low-speed motor drives the transmission gear to rotate, pushing the positioning rack to move the rotating plate on the wearer, facilitating the user's body rotation and enabling left-right swaying movements of the spine. An electric push rod also moves the shoulder limiting plates, allowing the user's shoulders to spread apart, facilitating expansion movements and increasing the flexibility of the rehabilitation device. This allows for rehabilitation exercises while limiting the spine, improving practicality.

[0025] 2. The pressure sensor can detect the force applied to the user's waist by the device, and the extension angle of the shoulder can be adjusted by the electric push rod, which facilitates the limit adjustment of the spine. The control panel facilitates the intelligent control of the device, making it easy to operate and use, and improving convenience. Attached Figure Description
