[0019] Based on the above structure, a spinal sagittal imbalance corrector in the present application has the following principle: a pull cable 41 is used to pull the power-assisting connector 3 in the backward and downward direction to generate a backward pulling force at the upper connecting frame 1 and a forward thrust at the lumbar support 21; and the front end of the lumbar support 21 contacts the posterior waist position as a fulcrum, so when the pull cable 41 acts on the lower connecting frame 2, it generates a torque pulling the hip backward on the second connecting sleeve 22, and combined with the forward thrust at the lumbar support 21, a forward rotation couple is applied to the pelvis, so that while correcting the thoracolumbar area, the excessive posterior rotation of the pelvis caused by spinal sagittal imbalance can be corrected.

[0020] Combination Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a tension regulator 5 is also included. The tension regulator 5 includes a wire wheel 51 and a driver.

[0021] In this embodiment, the driver is an adjustment handle 53, and the wire wheel 51 and the adjustment handle 53 are connected by transmission. The tension regulator 5 also includes a locking mechanism, which is used to lock the wire wheel 51 to prevent the tension on the cable 41 from driving the wire wheel 51 to rotate. The adjustment handle 53 is used to drive the wire wheel 51 to rotate, and the adjustment handle 53 drives the wire wheel 51 to rotate to retract and release the cable 41, so as to adjust the tension of the cable 41 on the power-assisting connector 3.

[0023] Combination Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, an elastic member 42 is also included, and the elastic member 42 is connected between the cable 41 and the power-assisting connector 3. If only the cable 41 is used to pull the power-assisting connector 3, it will cause inconvenience in movement when using the waist and back posture corrector, such as inconvenience in bending over. By applying elastic force through the elastic member 42, the cable 41 pulls the elastic member 42 to make the elastic member 42 in an extended state, so that the cable 41 always maintains tension on the power-assisting connector 3 to improve the correction effect, and can bend over within a preset range when in use.

[0024] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, a rotation limiting structure is provided between the wire wheel 51 and the lower connecting frame 2, and the rotation limiting structure is used to constrain the wire wheel 51 to rotate within a preset rotation stroke. The rotation limiting structure can prevent the wire wheel 51 from rotating excessively, especially in the process of rotating in the direction of releasing the cable 41. After rotating until the cable 41 is completely released, continuing to rotate in the same direction will cause the cable 41 to be tightened, causing the adjustment handle 53 to retract and release the cable 41 in the reverse direction, affecting the user experience. In this embodiment, the rotation limiting structure includes a limiting pin 23 and an arc groove 511 respectively arranged on the lower connecting frame 2 and the wire wheel 51, the limiting pin 23 and the arc groove 511 are axially opposite, and the limiting pin 23 extends into the arc groove 511. During the rotation process, the end of the arc groove 511 is used to resist the limiting pin 23 to achieve limiting.

[0025] Combination Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the upper connecting frame 1 includes an upper plate 13 and a lower plate 14. The lower plate 14 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the upper plate 13. The first connecting sleeve is a strap 111 whose end portions are respectively connected to the upper plate 13 and the lower plate 14. In this application, the upper plate 13 and the lower plate 14 are rotatably connected to adapt to the pitching motion of the user's torso. In this embodiment, a pair of upper strap grooves 131 are provided on both sides of the upper plate 13, and a pair of lower strap grooves 141 corresponding to the upper strap grooves 131 one by one are provided on the lower plate 14. The first connecting sleeve is the upper strap 111 whose end is connected to the upper strap groove 131 and the lower strap groove 141. When in use, the upper end of the strap 111 is connected to the upper strap groove 131, extends from above and in front of the user's shoulder to hold the corresponding shoulder of the user, and the lower end of the strap 111 extends backward from under the user's armpit and is connected to the lower strap groove 141. Specifically, an adjustable strap such as a combined strap connected by a "day" - shaped connection buckle can be used. In this embodiment, the upper plate 13 extends horizontally, the upper strap grooves 131 are provided at both ends in the extending direction of the upper plate 13, the lower plate 14 extends longitudinally, and the lower strap grooves 141 are provided at the lower end of the lower plate 14. In addition, in combination with Figure 3 As shown, it further includes rollers 311 rotatably installed at one end of the assisting connecting member 3 close to the upper connecting frame 1.

A sliding cavity 10 is provided on the connecting seats 12. The sliding cavity 10 extends in the interval direction between the upper connecting frame 1 and the lower connecting frame 2. A pair of rollers 311 are respectively arranged to roll in the sliding cavities 10 on both sides, and the rollers 311 are always separated from the bottom end of the sliding cavity 10. Different from directly hinging the assisting connecting member 3 to the upper connecting frame 1 in general, the assisting connecting member 3 contacts the side wall of the sliding cavity 10 through the rollers 311 to pull the upper connecting frame 1. Since the rollers 311 are always separated from the bottom end of the sliding cavity 10, longitudinal tension cannot be transmitted to the upper connecting frame 1, so as to avoid the assisting connecting member 3 transmitting the downward tension of the cable 41 to the upper connecting frame 1 and generating a harmful downward compression force on the spine. Specifically, the rollers 311 are ball bearings connected to the assisting connecting member 3 by screws. It can avoid the generation of longitudinal pressure caused by the friction between the first rod 31 and the sliding cavity 10.

[0026] In combination with Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a connecting frame 25 is provided at the bottom of the lower connecting frame 2.

[0027] In combination with Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the power-assisting connecting member 3 includes a first rod body 31 hinged on the lower connecting frame 2 and a second rod body 32 connected to the upper connecting frame 1, the second rod body 32 is slidably adjustable and connected to the first rod body 31, and the cable 41 is connected to the first rod body 31. Based on the above structure, the power-assisting connecting member 3 can adjust the length to adapt to users of different heights. In this embodiment, the first rod body 31 is a tubular body sleeved on the second rod body 32, and the first rod body 31 and the second rod body 32 are axially locked by a locking pin. The power-assisting connecting member 3 and the lower connecting frame 2 are connected by a universal joint. Different from the pivot connection, it ensures the freedom of the wearer's waist in the frontal plane and can adapt to the lateral rotation and lateral bending movements of the spine. Specifically, the universal joint is a fisheye bearing.

[0028] In addition, combined Figure 2 As shown, the lower connecting frame 2 is provided with a guide wheel 24, which is located at the rear side of the rotating joint between the power-assisting connecting member 3 and the lower connecting frame 2, and the cable 41 is pressed on the side of the guide wheel 24 away from the waist support 21. Based on the above structure, the inclination angle of the cable 41 relative to the power-assisting connecting member 3 can be ensured, so as to ensure that the cable 41 generates a backward pulling force on the power-assisting connecting member 3.

[0029] Combination Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the power-assisting connector 3 and the lower connecting frame 2 are connected to the rotating joint A; the cable 41 pulls the power-assisting connector 3 at position B on the power-assisting connector 3, and position B is on the side of the rotating joint A near the upper connecting frame 1; the lumbar support 21 protrudes from the front end of the lower connecting frame 2 along the x direction; in the preset correction posture, the positional relationship between the power-assisting connector 3 and the lower connecting frame 2 includes: in the x direction, position B is located at the rear side of the rotating joint A. In this state, the force of the power-assisting connector 3 acting on the lower connecting frame 2 at the rotating joint A can generate a thrust in the x direction, so that the front end of the lumbar support 21 applies pressure in the x direction to the user's lower back to ensure that sufficient force is generated to push the lower back forward. Specifically, the preset correction posture includes a corresponding back straight state.

[0030] Example 2 This embodiment is different from the embodiment 1 in that the driver of the tension regulator 5 is an adjustment handle 53, which is manually driven to adjust the tension. Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the driver is a motor 54, and the tension regulator 5 also includes a control module (not shown) that is in communication with the motor 54. The motor 54 is in transmission connection with the wire wheel 51. Specifically, the motor 54 is mounted on the rear side of the lower connecting frame 2 corresponding to the waist support 21, and the wire wheel 51 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 54. The control module controls the motor 54 to drive the wire wheel 51 to rotate, so as to achieve the tightening and loosening of the cable 41, thereby adjusting the tension on the power-assisting connecting member 3.

[0031] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the control module includes a tension sensor 55 connected between the cable 41 and the power-assisting connecting member 3, and the tension sensor 55 is in communication connection with the controller of the control module.
