Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of medical devices, in particular to an orthopedic brace with a self-stabilizing function. Background Art

[0002] Orthotics are also called braces. They are used on the limbs, trunk and other parts of the human body to prevent and correct deformities through the action of force. They are devices that treat bone, joint, muscle and nerve diseases and compensate for their functions. The therapeutic effects of orthotics include: fixing diseased limbs to relieve pain, relieve muscle spasms, promote inflammation or fracture healing; restrict abnormal joint movement to improve limb function; correct deformities or prevent the occurrence and aggravation of deformities; reduce local load on limbs to promote healing of lesions; help patients with limb dysfunction to exercise muscles to restore some of their ability to take care of themselves.

[0003] Existing orthopedic braces usually use relatively fixed devices to correct damaged or deformed limbs. Although such devices have certain corrective effects, most of them do not have the ability to adjust at multiple angles and have some disadvantages. For example, such devices often cannot be adjusted according to the patient's activity habits and physical comfort, and cannot be flexibly adjusted as the degree of limb recovery changes during the patient's rehabilitation process, thus limiting the optimization of the corrective effect.

[0004] In summary, how to solve the problem that the fixation device used for correction in the prior art does not have multi-angle adjustment has become a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field. Therefore, it is necessary to design an orthopedic orthopedic brace with a self-stabilizing function. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an orthopedic brace with a self-stabilizing function. By cooperating with a sliding component and various fine-tuning components, the position and angle of the fixing ring are changed, so that the brace can automatically adjust the supporting force according to the movement of the limbs, thereby ensuring the stability of the brace under various limb activity states.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical scheme of the present invention is as follows: an orthopedic brace with a self-stabilizing function, comprising a control system and an orthopedic component, the orthopedic component comprising a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are hinged to each other; the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod are each composed of a plurality of connecting rods, the adjacent connecting rods are detachably connected, and the connecting rods are slidably matched with a fixing ring; a plurality of pressure sensors are fixedly connected inside the fixing ring, the pressure sensors are symmetrically distributed, and the control system is used to receive pressure sensor signals; the connecting rods are each provided with a sliding component for driving the fixing ring to move vertically;

[0007] The sliding assembly includes a sliding motor, a gear and a rack. The gear and the rack are meshed with each other. The sliding motor is electrically connected to a main battery pack for providing electrical energy. The rack is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting rod close to the fixed ring. The output shaft of the sliding motor is coaxially fixedly connected to the gear. The control system is used to control the operation of the sliding motor. The bottom of the sliding motor is fixedly connected to a shell. A vertical groove is opened on the connecting rod. The side of the shell away from the fixed ring is located in the vertical groove of the connecting rod and slides with the vertical groove. A swing assembly and a telescopic assembly for driving fine adjustment of the position of the fixed ring are respectively provided in the shell.

[0008] The following principles and beneficial effects are achieved by adopting the above scheme:

[0009] Basic principle: The device is powered by wearing the main battery pack on the user, and the fixing ring is set on the corrective position required by the user, and the hinge of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod is installed at the joint activity position. Because the connecting rods with which the fixing ring slides are detachably connected, different numbers of fixing rings can be installed to meet the needs of different groups of people. When the fixing ring needs to move vertically on the connecting rod, because the output shaft of the sliding motor is coaxially fixedly connected with the gear, the gear and the rack are meshed with each other, and the rack is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, the gear can be driven to rotate by the sliding motor. When the gear rotates, it will drive the sliding motor to move vertically on the rack; and because the bottom of the sliding motor is fixedly connected with a shell, a vertical groove is opened on the connecting rod, and the shell is located in the vertical groove of the connecting rod for sliding fit, it can ensure that the sliding motor drives the shell to always move vertically on the connecting rod, thereby realizing the vertical movement of the fixing ring. The position of the fixing ring is fine-tuned by the swing assembly and the telescopic assembly to adapt to the subtle changes of the limbs. The control system receives symmetrically distributed pressure sensor signals, which can evenly sense the pressure in different directions of the limbs and the displacement movement in different axial planes, thereby better reflecting the pressure distribution of the contact between the limbs and the fixing ring; and processes the received signals to determine whether the position of the fixing ring needs to be adjusted to optimize the support effect.

[0010] Beneficial effects: 1. The present invention uses a detachable connecting rod to adjust the brace according to the patient's limb size, thereby meeting the correction needs of different groups of people and further improving the adaptability and comfort of the brace. The fixing ring can be fine-tuned at multiple angles according to the size and shape of the limb, ensuring that it also adapts to different correction conditions of different parts, thereby achieving precise correction effects.

[0011] 2. The present invention can monitor the contact pressure between the fixed ring and the limb in real time through the pressure sensor, and the control system automatically adjusts the position of the fixed ring according to these data to achieve the self-stabilization function of the brace. By cooperating with the sliding component and the fine-tuning component, the position and angle of the fixed ring are changed, so that the brace can automatically adjust the support strength according to the movement of the limb, ensuring the stability of the brace under various limb movement states.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] The following is further described in detail through specific implementation methods:

[0042] Embodiment 1:

[0043] Basically as attached Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown:

[0044] An orthopedic orthotic brace with a self-stabilizing function comprises a control system and an orthotic component, wherein the orthotic component comprises a first connecting rod 1 and a second connecting rod 2, wherein the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 are hinged to each other; the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 are each composed of a plurality of connecting rods 3, wherein adjacent connecting rods 3 are detachably snap-fitted, and the connecting rods 3 are slidably fitted with fixing rings 4; a plurality of pressure sensors 20 are bolted and fixedly connected inside the fixing rings 4, wherein the pressure sensors 20 are symmetrically distributed, and the control system is used to receive signals from the pressure sensors 20; and a sliding component for driving the fixing rings 4 to move vertically is provided on the connecting rods 3.

[0045] The sliding assembly includes a sliding motor 5, a gear 6 and a rack 7. The sliding motor 5 is electrically connected to a main battery pack 21 for providing electrical energy. The gear 6 and the rack 7 are meshed with each other, and the rack 7 is fixedly welded to the side of the connecting rod 3 close to the fixed ring 4; the output shaft of the sliding motor 5 is fixedly connected to the gear 6 by coaxial bolts, and the control system is used to control the operation of the sliding motor 5; the bottom bolt of the sliding motor 5 is fixedly connected to a shell 8, a vertical groove is opened on the connecting rod 3, and the side of the shell 8 away from the fixed ring 4 is located in the vertical groove of the connecting rod 3 and slides with the vertical groove; the shell 8 is respectively provided with a swinging assembly and a telescopic assembly for driving the fine adjustment of the position of the fixed ring 4.

[0046] The telescopic assembly includes an electric telescopic rod 9, which is electrically connected to the main battery pack 21, and the control system is used to control the operation of the electric telescopic rod 9; the inner wall of the outer shell 8 is fixedly connected to the base 10 by bolts, and a ball joint 11 is hinged inside the base 10, and the side of the ball joint 11 away from the base 10 is fixedly welded to the electric telescopic rod 9; the electric telescopic rod 9 extends from the inside of the outer shell 8 to the outside of the outer shell 8 and is laterally slidably matched with the side wall of the outer shell 8; one end of the electric telescopic rod 9 away from the ball joint 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing ring 4 by bolts.

[0047] Through the design of the electric telescopic rod 9, when the electric telescopic rod 9 is extended or retracted, it can drive the fixing ring 4 to move horizontally and make fine adjustments, so that the device can correct the deformed bones. It can also limit the patient's unnecessary activities to a certain extent, avoid further damage, and thus speed up the recovery process. Figure 2 For example, when the fixing ring 4 needs to be moved to the left, the electric telescopic rod 9 is extended accordingly to adjust to a suitable position. Through the telescopic movement of multiple fixing rings 4, corresponding corrections can be performed on different correction parts of different patients.

[0048] The swing assembly includes a swing motor 12, which is bolted and fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the outer shell 8. The swing motor 12 is electrically connected to the main battery pack 21, and the control system is used to control the operation of the swing motor 12; the output shaft of the swing motor 12 is bolted and fixedly connected to a semicircular swing rod 13, and the swing rod 13 is slidably matched with the ball joint 11; a slide groove is opened inside the swing rod 13, and the electric telescopic rod 9 is located in the slide groove and slidably matched with the slide groove; the end of the swing rod 13 away from the swing motor 12 is rotatably matched with the inner top wall of the outer shell 8; a shaking assembly is provided above the swing rod 13 for driving the fixing ring 4 to fine-tune up and down.

[0049] The shaking assembly includes a shaking motor 14, which is electrically connected to the main battery pack 21. The control system is used to control the operation of the shaking motor 14. The shaking motor 14 is bolted and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 8; the output shaft of the shaking motor 14 is bolted and fixedly connected to a semicircular shaking rod 15, which is vertically installed on the outside of the swing rod 13, and the shaking rod 15 is slidingly matched with the swing rod 13; a through groove is opened inside the shaking rod 15, and the electric telescopic rod 9 is located in the through groove and is slidingly matched with the through groove; the end of the shaking rod 15 away from the shaking motor 14 is rotationally matched with the inner wall of the outer shell 8.

[0050] Because the output shaft of the swing motor 12 is bolted and fixedly connected with the swing rod 13, and the swing rod 13 is slidingly matched with the ball joint 11, the swing motor 12 can be controlled to make the swing rod 13 realize reciprocating motion effect in the left and right directions on the ball joint 11; and because a through groove is opened inside the rocking rod 15, the electric telescopic rod 9 is located in the through groove and slides in the through groove, so when the swing rod 13 reciprocates left and right, it can drive the electric telescopic rod 9 to realize fine-tuning of left and right motion in the through groove of the rocking rod 15, so that the fixing ring 4 to which the electric telescopic rod 9 is bolted and fixed moves left and right in the horizontal direction, further improving the adaptability and flexibility of the brace.

[0051] by Figure 3 For example, when the fixing ring 4 needs to be fine-tuned to the left, the swing motor 12 is controlled to move the swing rod 13 to the left, thereby driving the electric telescopic rod 9 to move to the left, and then the fixing ring 4 to which the electric telescopic rod 9 is bolted is correspondingly moved to the left for fine-tuning.

[0052] Because the output shaft of the shaking motor 14 is bolted and fixedly connected with the shaking rod 15, the shaking rod 15 is vertically installed on the swing rod 13, and the shaking rod 15 slides in cooperation with the swing rod 13; therefore, the shaking motor 14 can be controlled to enable the shaking rod 15 to achieve a reciprocating motion effect in the up and down directions on the swing rod 13; and because a sliding groove is provided inside the swing rod 13, the electric telescopic rod 9 is located in the sliding groove and slides in cooperation with the sliding groove, so when the shaking rod 15 reciprocates up and down, it can drive the electric telescopic rod 9 to achieve fine-tuning of the up and down motion in the sliding groove of the swing rod 13, so that the fixing ring 4 to which the electric telescopic rod 9 is fixedly connected can achieve a fine-tuning effect of shaking up and down in the vertical direction.

[0053] by Figure 2 For example, when the fixing ring 4 needs to be adjusted to move upward, the shaking motor 14 is controlled to make the shaking rod 15 move upward, thereby driving the electric telescopic rod 9 to move upward, and then the fixing ring 4 connected by the bolts of the electric telescopic rod 9 moves upward accordingly. The position of the fixing ring 4 is finely adjusted to adapt to the subtle changes of the limbs.

[0054] The multi-directional movement and fine adjustment of the fixed ring 4 can be achieved by cooperating with the swing motor 12 to adapt to the subtle changes of the limbs; through such fine adjustment, the brace can better adapt to the changes of the limbs and improve the stability of the brace in various activities. It can also be adjusted according to the needs of the patient, providing personalized treatment services for different individuals, thereby improving the rehabilitation effect.

[0055] Specific implementation process: First, when the brace is used, the main battery pack 21 is worn on the user to power the device. The fixing ring 4 is set on the corrective position required by the user, and the hinge of the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 is installed at the joint activity position. Because the connecting rod 3 with which the fixing ring 4 slides is detachably connected, different numbers of fixing rings 4 can be installed to meet the needs of different groups of people. When the fixing ring 4 needs to move vertically on the connecting rod 3, because the output shaft of the sliding motor 5 is coaxially fixedly connected with the gear 6 by bolts, the gear 6 and the rack 7 are meshed with each other, and the rack 7 is fixedly welded on the connecting rod 3, the gear 6 can be driven to rotate by the sliding motor 5. When the gear 6 rotates, it will drive the sliding motor 5 to move vertically on the rack 7; and because the bottom of the sliding motor 5 is bolted and fixedly connected with the housing 8, the connecting rod 3 is provided with a vertical groove, and the housing 8 is located in the vertical groove of the connecting rod 3 and slides and fits, it can ensure that the sliding motor 5 drives the housing 8 to always move vertically on the connecting rod 3, thereby realizing the vertical movement of the fixing ring 4.

[0056] by Figure 2For example, when the sliding motor 5 rotates clockwise, it drives the gear 6 to rotate clockwise, so that the gear 6 moves upward on the rack 7; thereby driving the housing 8 fixedly connected to the sliding motor 5 to move upward together, and when the housing 8 moves, it drives the fixing ring 4 to move upward.

[0057] The present invention applies forces at multiple points that are not on the same straight line, and the direction of force applied at one point is opposite to the direction of force applied at the other two points. At this time, according to the principle of lever, the principle of action and reaction force, and the law of force decomposition, the three-point forces interact to generate a lateral correction torque to achieve the purpose of correction. And by applying a correction torque of valgus or varus, the force line of the lower limb is corrected to avoid further damage to the cartilage on the affected side of the joint. Through fine-tuning between the components, axial tensile forces of varying sizes are applied to both sides of the joint. According to the principle of action and reaction force, the principle of lever balance, and the principle of force decomposition, a correction torque is generated in the direction of the side with smaller force, thereby achieving correction effects on different parts of different patients.

[0058] The present invention enables the brace to be adjusted according to the patient's limb size through the detachably connected connecting rod 3, thereby realizing the correction needs of different groups of people and further improving the adaptability and comfort of the brace. The fixing ring 4 can be fine-tuned according to the size and shape of the limb to ensure that it is also adapted to different correction conditions of different parts, thereby achieving accurate orthopedic effects. The symmetrically distributed pressure sensors 20 can evenly sense the pressure in different directions of the limb and the displacement movement in different axial planes, thereby better monitoring the contact pressure between the fixing ring 4 and the limb. The control system automatically adjusts the position of the fixing ring 4 according to these data to realize the self-stabilizing function of the brace. Through the cooperation of the sliding motor 5, the swinging motor 12 and the shaking motor 14, the brace can automatically adjust the support strength according to the activity of the limb to ensure the stability of the brace under various limb activity states. Through precise, personalized orthopedic support and intelligent adjustment functions, it helps to promote the rehabilitation process of the patient's bones and joints. At the same time, its stability and adaptability also help to prevent recurrence problems after correction and improve the overall treatment effect.
