[0026] The present invention is described below by several specific embodiments. In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present invention clear and concise, the detailed description of known functions and known components may be omitted. When any component of the embodiments of the present invention appears in more than one accompanying drawings, the component may be represented by the same reference numeral in each of the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 2 , Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a filled fixed multi-angle cervical collar provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of another angle of a filled fixed multi-angle cervical collar provided by an embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a filled fixed multi-angle cervical collar, comprising: a fixed net 1, an upper cushion 2, a lower cushion 3 and a connecting pipe 4, the fixed net 1 is formed by a plurality of hoses connected in an interlaced manner, the upper cushion 2 is connected to the top of the fixed net 1, the upper cushion 2 is used to fix the fixed net 1 at the mandible, the lower cushion 3 is connected to the bottom of the fixed net 1, the fixed net 1 extends into the lower cushion 3, the lower cushion 3 is used to fix the fixed net 1 at the shoulder, the connecting pipe 4 is arranged in the lower cushion 3, the connecting pipe 4 is connected to the fixed net 1 extending into the lower cushion 3, one end of the connecting pipe 4 extends out of the lower cushion 3, the connecting pipe 4 is used to inject quick-setting gum to allow the quick-setting gum to enter the fixed net 1, so that the fixed net 1 forms a shape that matches the patient's neck.

[0028] By setting a fixed net 1, the fixed net 1 is a net formed by a plurality of hoses interlaced and connected, the top and bottom of the fixed net 1 are respectively provided with an upper cushion 2 and a lower cushion 3, the connecting tube 4 is connected to the fixed net 1, and one end of the connecting tube 4 extending from the lower cushion 3 has an opening that can be opened and closed to facilitate the injection of quick-setting gum. For some special types of patients whose necks are not straight, such as those with severe cervical deformation, complex cervical fractures, congenital cervical deformities, etc., the fixed net 1 is first put on the neck, the upper cushion 2 is fixed on the patient's mandible, the lower cushion 3 is fixed on the patient's shoulder, and then the quick-setting gum is injected into the connecting tube 4, usually 200ml-300ml of the quick-setting gum is injected, and the quick-setting gum is filled into the fixed net 1 through the connecting tube 4. When filling, the fixed net 1 can be pulled to a suitable shape according to the shape of the patient's neck, and the quick-setting gum supports the patient's neck after solidification. After the quick-setting gum solidifies, hot compress can be used to soften the fixing net 1 so as to fine-tune the shape of the fixing net 1. The filled fixed multi-angle cervical collar is suitable for ordinary patients as well as special patients with severe cervical deformity, complex cervical fractures, congenital cervical deformities and other patients whose necks are not straight. It can also be adjusted according to the different rehabilitation stages of the patients to achieve the best rehabilitation effect.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the adjustment component in the embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 to 3As shown, it also includes a plurality of adjustment components 5, and the plurality of adjustment components 5 are evenly arranged in the upper cushion 2, and each adjustment component 5 includes: an air storage pipe 51 and an inflation and deflation component connected to the air storage pipe 51, the inflation and deflation component is located in the upper cushion 2, the air storage pipe 51 extends out of the upper cushion 2, the air storage pipe 51 is located on the side of the upper cushion 2 away from the fixed net 1, and the inflation and deflation component is used to inflate or deflate the air storage pipe.

[0030] Refer again Figures 1 to 3 The inflation and deflation components include: a negative pressure ball 50, the negative pressure ball 50 is located in the upper soft cushion 2, the negative pressure ball 50 is connected to the air storage pipe 51, and an air inlet one-way pressure flap 52 is provided at the connection between the negative pressure ball 50 and the air storage pipe 51, so that the pressure generated by the negative pressure ball 50 enters the air storage pipe 51, and an air outlet one-way pressure flap 53 is also provided at the connection between the negative pressure ball 50 and the upper soft cushion 2, so that the gas can be discharged from the air storage pipe 51.

[0031] By setting the adjustment component 5, the support of the patient can be fine-tuned. The negative pressure ball 50 is squeezed. Each time it is squeezed, a certain amount of gas is stored in the gas storage tube 51. Due to the characteristics of the inlet one-way pressure valve 52, the gas in the gas storage tube 51 will not flow back into the negative pressure ball 50. The negative pressure ball 50 is continuously squeezed, and the amount of gas in the gas storage tube 51 is continuously accumulated. The greater the support force on the neck, it can be fine-tuned to an ideal state according to different patients and different recovery times. If the adjustment piece is to reduce the force on the neck, gently pinch the outlet one-way pressure valve 53 and the inlet one-way pressure valve 52. The valves will be squeezed to form a crack in the middle to allow gas to pass through, thereby discharging the gas in the gas storage tube 51, causing the gas storage tube 51 to bend and reduce the force on the neck. The adjustment component 5 enables the neck brace to produce different effects at different recovery stages after surgery: for example, within 1-2 days after surgery, the wound heals poorly, and the instrument mainly has a fixing function, so the gas storage tube 51 generates as much support force on the neck as possible, and the fixing effect at a specific position angle can also be formed through the mutual cooperation of different adjustment pieces. 3-4 days after the operation, when the wound healing is relatively stable, the air storage tube 51 can be appropriately relaxed or the position of the air storage tube 51 can be changed to provide a safe and effective range for autonomous movement of the neck.

[0032] Refer again Figure 2 The adjustment component 5 also includes an air nozzle, which is connected to the outer side of the one-way pressure valve 53. The air nozzle prevents air leakage during use. After the angle is adjusted, the air nozzle is closed. When the gas in the air storage tube 51 needs to be discharged, the air nozzle is opened again, so that the air storage tube 51 is more stable and more conducive to the patient's recovery.

[0033] Refer again Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mesh of the fixed net 1 is rhombus-shaped. The rhombus is easily deformed, so that it has good elasticity, making it more suitable for special types of patients whose necks are not straight.

[0034] Reference again Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper cushion 2 and the lower cushion 3 are both provided with Velcro to adjust the size of the upper cushion 2 and the lower cushion 3. Velcro can be convenient for patients to wear, and the upper cushion 2 and the lower cushion 3 are both provided with Velcro, so that special patients with non-straight necks can also wear it more easily.

[0035] The hose is made of silicone. Silicone is not easy to be allergic, has a smooth surface and is easy to clean. In addition, silicone has good softness and elasticity, and can be shaped as needed. It is more suitable for special types of patients with severe cervical deformation, complex cervical fractures, congenital cervical deformities, and other special types of patients whose necks are not straight.

[0036] The diameter of the hose is 5mm. For some special types of patients with severe cervical deformation, complex cervical fractures, congenital cervical deformities, etc., whose necks are not straight, in order to provide good support while ensuring safety, part of the hose will contact the neck. If the diameter is too small, it may cause certain damage to the neck. If it is too large, the mesh size will be reduced and the air permeability will be worse.

[0037] The fixed net 1 has an opening. The opening provides space for operations such as intubation, and the shape of the opening can be adjusted according to actual conditions, and the opening is circular when adjusted to the maximum.

[0038] The distance between the two gas storage tubes 51 is 0.5 cm-1 cm, which avoids the problem that the distance is too large and the support may not be good, and the distance is too small and the adjustment is too troublesome.

[0039] The length of the gas storage tube 51 is 5 cm, which avoids the situation that the gas storage tube 51 is too long, takes a long time to fill the gas storage tube 51, or is too short, which sometimes cannot be well fixed for some special types of patients with severe cervical deformity, complex cervical fracture, congenital cervical deformity and other special types of patients whose necks are not straight, such as patients with severe cervical deformity, complex cervical fracture, congenital cervical deformity, etc.

[0040] The gas nozzle is made of PVC plastic material and has a diameter of 8 mm, which facilitates the gas to enter and exit the gas storage tube 51.

[0041] Working principle,

[0042] Put the fixed net 1 on the neck, adjust the two cushions to the appropriate tightness, open the opening of the lower cushion 3, inject 200-300ml of quick-setting glue, and adjust the shape of the cervical vertebra fixed net 1 according to individual needs. Wait for 30s-1min for the quick-setting glue to solidify, and the cervical vertebra fixed net 1 reaches a stable state. When applying a hot towel to the cervical vertebra fixed net 1, the quick-setting glue can be softened for fine adjustment. Then use the adjustment ring to make fine adjustments: open the air nozzle and squeeze the negative pressure ball 50. Each time it is squeezed, a certain amount of gas is stored in the gas storage tube 51. Due to the characteristics of the one-way air intake pressure valve, the gas in the gas storage tube 51 will not flow back into the negative pressure ball 50. Continuously squeeze the negative pressure ball 50, the amount of gas in the gas storage tube 51 continues to accumulate, and the greater the support force for the neck, after reaching the ideal state, cover the cover plug on the air nozzle to prevent gas leakage. If you want to reduce the force of the gas storage tube 51 on the neck, open the cover plug on the gas nozzle, gently pinch the one-way pressure valve 53 for air outlet and the one-way pressure valve 52 for air inlet. The valves will be squeezed to form a crack in the middle to allow gas to pass through, thereby discharging the gas in the gas storage tube 51, bending the adjustment plate, and reducing the force on the neck. According to the multi-angle adjustable characteristics of the instrument, different effects can be produced at different stages of postoperative rehabilitation: for example, within 1-2 days after surgery, the wound heals poorly, and the instrument mainly uses the fixing function, then the gas storage tube 51 will generate as much support force on the neck as possible, and the fixing effect of a specific position angle can also be formed through the mutual cooperation of different gas storage tubes 51. After 3-4 days after surgery, the wound heals more stably, then the adjustment plate can be appropriately loosened, or the position of the gas storage tube 51 can be changed to provide a safe and effective range for autonomous movement of the neck. The neck brace is not only suitable for ordinary patients, but also for patients with severe cervical deformity, complex cervical fractures, congenital cervical deformities, etc., and the fixing angle can be adjusted according to the needs of disease rehabilitation at different stages. In addition, the fixing net 1 is a mesh structure, which reduces the contact area with the skin and increases air permeability and comfort.

[0043] The above disclosures are only several specific embodiments of the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
