Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pulmonary function rehabilitation technology, and specifically to an abdominal breathing rehabilitation training device. Background Technology

[0002] To help patients restore normal breathing patterns, exercise abdominal and diaphragmatic muscles, massage internal organs, reduce energy consumption of respiratory muscles, and improve respiratory efficiency, patients usually perform abdominal breathing exercises under the guidance of medical staff. During abdominal breathing exercises, the patient relaxes completely, adopts a sitting or lying position, closes their mouth, inhales deeply through the nose while trying to expand their abdomen, and then exhales through the mouth with pursed lips, contracting the abdominal muscles while simultaneously pressing on the abdomen and raising the diaphragm. This is repeated 2 to 3 times a day, for 10 to 20 minutes each time.

[0003] However, during training, the inability to guarantee a constant pressure each time will cause the patient's abdominal contraction to vary, resulting in different training effects with each exhalation. This will affect the effectiveness of the training. Furthermore, it requires continuous manual pressure on the abdomen, which consumes a lot of human effort. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems in the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that: since it is impossible to guarantee that the pressure of each press is constant, the degree of abdominal contraction of the patient will be different, that is, the training effect is different each time exhalation, which will affect the training effect to a certain extent. Moreover, it is necessary to continuously press the abdomen with your hands, which requires a lot of manual effort.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an abdominal breathing rehabilitation training device, comprising: a pressing mechanism and a pressing band; the pressing mechanism includes a box body, an elastic ring, and a guide member; the elastic ring and the guide member are located inside the box body; the cross-section of the elastic ring is elliptical; the guide member is installed on the box body, the guide member is arranged along the long axis of the elastic ring, and the guide member passes through the elastic ring; both ends of the pressing band slide through the box body and are installed on the elastic ring, and the two ends of the pressing band are respectively located on opposite sides in the short axis direction of the elastic ring.

[0006] In this invention, a compression strap is fitted onto the body and fits snugly against the skin, with the box placed on the abdomen. During breathing training, the patient inhales, causing the abdomen to rise and thicken. The abdomen moves the box, applying a counter-pulling force to the elastic ring at both ends of the compression strap. The elastic ring bends under this force, causing its two ends along the long axis to slide on a guide, simulating the effect of drawing a bow. This applies pressure to the abdomen through the box, obstructing the patient's inhalation and thus providing a certain degree of training for lung function. By using the box to press on the surrounding area instead of manual compression, the hands are freed. Furthermore, the elastic ring ensures consistent pressure on the abdomen each time, further facilitating the patient's lung function training.

[0007] Preferably, the pressing mechanism further includes rollers; the elastic ring has long grooves on opposite sides along its long axis; the guide member passes through two of the long grooves in sequence, and rollers are rotatably mounted on opposite sides of each long groove; the guide member is located between the two rollers within the long groove, and the rollers abut against the guide member. The elastic ring is mounted on the guide member via rollers, thereby changing sliding friction into sliding friction, thus reducing the friction between the guide member and the elastic ring. Specifically, the rollers have grooves in their circumferential direction that mate with the guide member, which effectively ensures that the rollers roll on the guide member.

[0008] Preferably, the device further includes a connecting mechanism that divides the compression band into two strips, with the ends of the two compression bands furthest from the compression mechanism detachably connected via the connecting mechanism. The compression bands can be disassembled via the connecting mechanism, making them easier to wear.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting component, a connecting sleeve, and a pushing component; the connecting component is mounted on one of the compression belts, and its position along the length of the compression belt is adjustable; the connecting sleeve is fixedly mounted on one end of the other compression belt; the connecting sleeve engages with the connecting component; the pushing component is mounted on the connecting sleeve, and the pushing component controls the connecting component to clamp the compression belt. The position of the connecting component on one of the compression belts is adjusted to suit different patients' waist sizes, ensuring a close fit to the body; then, the connecting component is engaged within the connecting sleeve, and the pushing component controls the connecting component to clamp the compression belt, thereby connecting the two compression belts.

[0010] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a connecting plate and clamping members; two clamping members are symmetrically arranged on both sides in the thickness direction of the pressing belt, each clamping member including a rotating shaft, a clamping plate, and a pressure roller; the rotating shaft is arranged along the width direction of the pressing belt; a pressure roller is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft, and the pressure roller abuts against the pressing belt; the clamping plate is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft in the middle, one end of the clamping plate is a clamping end, which is bent towards the pressing belt, and the other end of the clamping plate is a control end, which is bent away from the pressing belt; both ends of the rotating shaft are provided with connecting plates, and both rotating shafts are rotatably mounted on the connecting plates; the pushing assembly can apply a thrust to the clamping end of the clamping plate along the length direction of the pressing belt. Through the opposing rotation of the two clamping plates, the clamping ends of the two clamping plates can clamp the pressing belt.

[0011] Preferably, the pushing assembly includes a push rod, a push plate, and a spring; one end of the push rod slides through the connecting sleeve, and the push plate is fixedly installed at one end of the push rod; the spring is sleeved on the push rod and located between the push plate and the inner wall of the connecting sleeve. The push rod drives the push plate to move, while simultaneously compressing the spring, thus installing the connecting assembly inside the connecting sleeve. Then, the pull rod is released, the spring returns to its original position, and the spring pushes the push plate to move. The push plate applies a thrust to the clamping section of the clamping plate, enabling the clamping plate to clamp the pressing band.

[0012] Preferably, the device further includes an adjustment mechanism mounted on the housing, which adjusts the spacing between the opposing ends of the elastic ring along its long axis. By adjusting the spacing between the opposing ends of the elastic ring along its long axis, the opposing ends of the elastic ring are compressed, increasing the initial elastic force of the elastic ring and thus adjusting the pressure exerted on the abdomen.

[0013] Preferably, the adjusting mechanism includes a pushing block; the guide is a lead screw, one end of which passes through the housing and is rotatably connected to the housing; the housing has a pushing groove along the long axis of the elastic ring, and pushing blocks are respectively provided on the outer side of the long axis of the elastic ring. Both pushing blocks are slidably installed in the pushing groove, and both pushing blocks are connected to the lead screw via a ball screw and nut pair, with the threads at both ends of the lead screw having opposite directions of rotation. The lead screw drives the two pushing blocks to move through the two oppositely rotated threads, causing the two pushing blocks to slide opposite each other within the pushing groove; the two pushing blocks compress the two ends of the elastic ring along its long axis, causing the elastic ring to bend and deform, thereby adjusting the initial elastic force of the elastic ring.

[0014] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism further includes a knob; the knob is fixedly installed at one end of the lead screw located outside the housing. The knob allows for more convenient rotation of the lead screw.

[0015] Preferably, both ends of the pressing band are mounted on the elastic ring via sliders; the sliders are fixedly connected to the elastic ring, and the pressing band is fixedly mounted on the sliders; the housing is provided with a guide groove, which is arranged along the minor axis of the elastic ring, and the slider is slidably mounted in the guide groove. The movement of the pressing band is guided by the slider sliding within the guide groove, and the bending deformation of the elastic ring is also limited to a certain extent, making the elastic ring more regular when it undergoes bending deformation.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This invention replaces manual abdominal compression training and ensures consistent pressure during each abdominal compression, thus better facilitating lung function training for patients. In this invention, a compression strap is fitted onto the body and closely conforms to the skin, with the box placed on the abdomen. During breathing training, the patient inhales, causing the abdomen to rise and thicken. The abdomen moves the box, applying a counter-pulling force to the elastic ring at both ends of the compression strap. The elastic ring bends under this force, causing its long axis ends to slide on guide members, simulating the effect of drawing a bow. This applies pressure to the abdomen through the box, obstructing the patient's inhalation and thus providing a certain degree of training effect on lung function. By using the box to compress the surrounding area instead of manual compression, the hands are freed. Furthermore, the elastic ring ensures consistent pressure during each abdominal compression, further facilitating lung function training for patients.

[0018] 2. It can adjust the amount of abdominal pressure. The distance between the two opposite ends of the elastic ring along the long axis is adjusted by the adjustment mechanism, thereby compressing the two opposite ends of the elastic ring along the long axis, increasing the initial elastic force of the elastic ring, and thus adjusting the amount of abdominal pressure.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] In this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0027] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] See Figures 1-3The present invention provides an embodiment of an abdominal breathing rehabilitation training device, comprising: a pressing mechanism 1 and a pressing band 2; the pressing mechanism 1 includes a housing 11, an elastic ring 12, and a guide member; the elastic ring 12 and the guide member are located inside the housing 11; the cross-section of the elastic ring 12 is elliptical; the guide member is installed on the housing 11, the guide member is arranged along the long axis of the elastic ring 12, and the guide member passes through the elastic ring 12; both ends of the pressing band 2 slide through the housing 11 and are installed on the elastic ring 12, and the two ends of the pressing band 2 are respectively located on opposite sides in the short axis direction of the elastic ring 12.

[0029] In practice, the compression strap 2 is placed on the body and fits snugly against the skin, while the box 11 is placed on the abdomen. During breathing training, the patient inhales, causing the abdomen to rise and thicken. The abdomen moves the box 11, applying a counter-pulling force to the elastic ring 12 at both ends of the compression strap 2. The elastic ring 12 bends under this force, causing its two ends to slide on the guide members along its long axis, simulating the effect of drawing a bow. This applies pressure to the abdomen through the box 11, obstructing the patient's inhalation and thus providing a certain degree of training effect on lung function. Using the box 11 to press on the abdomen replaces manual compression, freeing up the hands. Furthermore, the elastic ring 12 ensures consistent pressure on the abdomen with each compression, further facilitating lung function training. Specifically, the elastic ring 12 can be made of spring steel or other elastic materials.

[0030] See Figures 1-3 In other embodiments, the pressing mechanism 1 further includes rollers 13; the elastic ring 12 has long grooves 14 on opposite sides along its long axis; a guide member passes through two long grooves 14 in sequence, and rollers 13 are rotatably mounted on opposite sides of each long groove 14. The guide member is located between the two rollers 13 within the long groove 14, and the rollers 13 abut against the guide member. The elastic ring 12 is mounted on the guide member via rollers 13, thereby changing sliding friction into sliding friction, thus reducing the friction between the guide member and the elastic ring 12. Specifically, the rollers 13 have grooves in their circumferential direction that cooperate with the guide member, which effectively ensures that the rollers 13 roll on the guide member.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 In other embodiments, a connecting mechanism 3 is also included. The connecting mechanism 3 divides the pressure band 2 into two strips, and the ends of the two pressure bands 2 away from the pressure mechanism 1 are detachably connected by the connecting mechanism 3. By separating the pressure bands 2 through the connecting mechanism 3, it is easier to wear the pressure bands 2.

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 4In other embodiments, the connecting mechanism 3 includes a connecting component, a connecting sleeve 31, and a pushing component. The connecting component is mounted on one of the compression belts 2, and its position along the length of the compression belt 2 is adjustable. The connecting sleeve 31 is fixedly mounted on one end of the other compression belt 2. The connecting sleeve 31 engages with the connecting component, and the pushing component is mounted on the connecting sleeve 31, controlling the connecting component to clamp the compression belt 2. In specific implementation, the position of the connecting component on one of the compression belts 2 is adjusted according to the waist size of different patients, so that the compression belt 2 can fit closely to the body. Then, the connecting component is snapped into the connecting sleeve 31, and the pushing component controls the connecting component to clamp the compression belt 2, thereby connecting the two compression belts 2.

[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 In other embodiments, the connecting assembly includes a connecting plate 32 and clamping members; two clamping members are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pressing belt 2 in the thickness direction, and the clamping members include a rotating shaft 33, a clamping plate 34, and a pressure roller 35; the rotating shaft 33 is arranged along the width direction of the pressing belt 2; the pressure roller 35 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 33, and the pressure roller 35 abuts against the pressing belt 2; the clamping plate 34 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 33 in the middle, one end of the clamping plate 34 is the clamping end, which is bent toward the pressing belt 2, and the other end of the clamping plate 34 is the control end, which is bent away from the pressing belt 2; both ends of the rotating shaft 33 are provided with connecting plates 32, and both rotating shafts 33 can be rotatably mounted on the connecting plates 32, and the pushing assembly can apply a thrust to the clamping end of the clamping plate 34 along the length direction of the pressing belt 2.

[0034] In practice, the clamping plate 34 is pushed, causing the pressure roller 35 to roll on the pressing belt 2, thereby adjusting the position of the connecting assembly on the pressing belt 2. Then, the connecting assembly is snapped into the connecting sleeve 31, so that the control end of the clamping plate 34 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 31. Then, the connecting assembly is controlled by the pushing assembly, which applies a thrust toward the control end of the clamping plate 34, causing the control end of the clamping plate 34 to slide on the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 31, thereby causing the clamping plate 34 to rotate around the rotating shaft 33. Through the opposing rotation of the two clamping plates 34, the clamping ends of the two clamping plates 34 can clamp the pressing belt 2. Furthermore, when the patient is performing breathing exercises, the patient's abdomen moves the compression band 2. Due to the friction between the compression band 2 and the connecting component, the compression band 2 causes the control end of the clamping plate 34 to move toward the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 31, making the two clamping plates 34 rotate in a greater direction. This allows the clamping ends of the two clamping plates 34 to clamp the compression band 2 more securely, effectively preventing the clamping plates 34 from slipping off the compression band 2 when the patient is performing breathing exercises.

[0035] See Figure 1 and Figure 4 In other embodiments, the pushing assembly includes a push rod 36, a push plate 37, and a spring 38. One end of the push rod 36 slides through the connecting sleeve 31, and the push plate 37 is fixedly installed on one end of the push rod 36. The spring 38 is sleeved on the push rod 36 and is located between the push plate 37 and the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 31. In specific implementation, the push rod 36 is pulled outward, and the push rod 36 drives the push plate 37 to move, while compressing the spring 38. In this way, the connecting assembly can be installed in the connecting sleeve 31. Then, the pull rod is released, the spring 38 returns to its original position, and the spring 38 pushes the push plate 37 to move. The push plate 37 applies a pushing force to the clamping section of the clamping plate 34, so that the clamping plate 34 can clamp the pressing band 2.

[0036] See Figures 1-3 In other embodiments, an adjustment mechanism 4 is also included. The adjustment mechanism 4 is mounted on the housing 11 and can adjust the spacing between the opposite ends of the elastic ring 12 along its long axis. By adjusting the spacing between the opposite ends of the elastic ring 12 along its long axis through the adjustment mechanism 4, the opposite ends of the elastic ring 12 are compressed, thereby increasing the initial elastic force of the elastic ring 12. This adjusts the initial elastic force of the elastic ring 12, thereby adjusting the magnitude of the pressure on the abdomen.

[0037] See Figures 1-3 In other embodiments, the adjusting mechanism 4 includes a push block 41; the guide is a lead screw 15, one end of which passes through the housing 11, and the lead screw 15 is rotatably connected to the housing 11; the housing 11 has a push groove 16 in the long axis direction of the elastic ring 12, and push blocks 41 are respectively provided on the outer side of the long axis direction of the elastic ring 12. Both push blocks 41 are slidably installed in the push groove 16, and both push blocks 41 are connected to the lead screw 15 through a ball screw nut pair, and the threads at both ends of the lead screw 15 have opposite directions of rotation. In a specific implementation, the lead screw 15 is a trapezoidal lead screw 15; rotating the lead screw 15, the lead screw 15 drives the two push blocks 41 to move through the two threads with opposite directions of rotation, so that the two push blocks 41 slide in opposite directions in the push groove 16; the two push blocks 41 squeeze the two ends of the elastic ring 12 in the long axis direction, so that the elastic ring 12 bends and deforms, thereby adjusting the initial elastic force of the elastic ring 12. Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism 4 also includes a knob 42; the knob 42 is fixedly installed at one end of the lead screw 15 located outside the housing 11; the lead screw 15 can be rotated more conveniently through the knob 42.

[0038] See Figures 2-3In another embodiment, the two ends of the pressing band 2 are respectively mounted on the elastic ring 12 via sliders 17; the sliders 17 are fixedly connected to the elastic ring 12, and the pressing band 2 is fixedly mounted on the sliders 17; the housing 11 is provided with a guide groove 18, which is arranged along the short axis of the elastic ring 12, and the sliders 17 are slidably mounted in the guide groove 18. In specific implementation, the movement of the pressing band 2 is guided by the sliders 17 sliding in the guide groove 18, and at the same time, the bending deformation of the elastic ring 12 can be limited to a certain extent, so that the elastic ring 12 is more regular when it undergoes bending deformation.

[0039] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of the present invention.
