[0012] Beneficial Effects

[0013] The present invention provides a neck strap with a neck activity angle measurement structure, which has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0014] The medical staff passes the pipeline through the ring sleeve and secures the pipeline with tape after leaving an appropriate margin on the inside of the neck strap, then fills the ice bag or dressing bag into the interlayer, and adjusts the position of the ice bag and the dressing bag according to the position of the patient's wound, so that it is directly opposite or close to the wound on the patient's neck. The medical staff then puts the neck strap on the patient's neck, tightens the neck strap and secures it on the neck strap through the Velcro at both ends of the neck strap. At the same time, the tightness of the neck strap should be moderate to avoid crushing the patient's neck. At this time, the patient's chin is on the pad, and because the arc plate has the same curve as the patient's chin, the joint can cover the patient's chin; when the patient needs to turn his head left and right for exercise, the user's head rotates, which can drive the arc plate covering the patient's chin to rotate synchronously. At this time, the arc plate drives the pad fixedly connected to it to start rotating along the connection between it and the bracket. During the rotation process The user can observe the scale bar on the bracket through the wide mouth and read the angle of head rotation, thereby avoiding excessive rotation of the patient's head and causing neck injury; when the patient needs to perform neck lifting exercises, the patient can slowly raise his head. At this time, since the patient's lower jaw stops limiting the pad, the spring can rotate and reset, thereby pushing the joint and the base cylinder to rotate relative to each other. At this time, the joint drives the bracket fixed to it to rotate synchronously, and makes the pad set on it fit the patient's lower jaw at degrees. When the patient stops raising his head, the bracket is limited at degrees to stop rotating, so that medical staff can record the head movement angle. When the joint angle is fixed, the position of the dial indicated by the arrow is the movement angle of the patient's head when it is lifted, thereby accurately measuring the movement angle of the patient's head when turning left and right and raising his head, thereby avoiding excessive exercise and adding burden to the neck.

For example, a zipper may be provided at the bottom opening of the interlayer 208. The purpose of this arrangement is to facilitate the quick closure of the interlayer 208 through this arrangement, thereby preventing the ice pack from falling during use.

[0031] Specifically, a pad 209 is slidably connected to the bracket 201, and a wide opening 2001 is fixedly connected at the center of the pad 209 for indicating a scale bar on the bracket 201 so that medical personnel can observe the angle of left and right rotation of the user's head. The wide opening 2001 facing the center of the bracket 201 is 0°, and the patient's head does not rotate at this time.

[0032] For the above example, those skilled in the art should be aware that when implementing the above technical solution, they are not limited to the specific bracket 201 described in the above embodiment. For example, the scale lines on the bracket 201 are red lines. The purpose of this setting is to increase its conspicuousness through this setting so that medical staff can quickly read the angle indicated by it.

[0033] Specifically, the backing plate 209 is fixedly connected with an arc plate 2002, and the arc plate 2002 can fit with the chin of the patient.

[0034] For the above examples, those skilled in the art should be aware that when implementing the above technical solutions, they are not limited to the specific arc plate 2002 described in the above embodiments. For example, the portion of the arc plate 2002 that is used to contact the patient's chin is provided with an anti-slip film. The purpose of this setting is to facilitate increasing the fit between the arc plate 2002 and the patient's chin through this setting.

One end of the spring 302 is fixedly connected to a joint A304, and the other end of the spring 302 is fixedly connected to a joint B305. The joint B305 is fixedly connected to the base tube 203.

[0036] For the above example, those skilled in the art should be aware that when implementing the above technical solution, they are not limited to the specific spring 302 described in the above embodiment. For example, the elasticity of the spring 302 should be within a reasonable range. The purpose of this setting is to facilitate pushing the bracket 201 to make it close to the patient's lower jaw through this setting.

[0037] Specifically, an arc-shaped groove is provided on the base tube 203 , and the arc edge of the arc-shaped groove is 90°, which is used to allow the connector A304 to pass through the base tube 203 and connect to the connector 202 , and the connector A304 is fixedly connected to the connector 202 .

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the medical staff passes the pipeline through the ring sleeve 207, and after leaving an appropriate margin on the inner side of the neck strap 101, fixes the pipeline with tape, then fills the ice bag or dressing medicine bag into the interlayer 208, and adjusts the position of the ice bag and the dressing medicine bag according to the position of the patient's wound, so that they are directly opposite or close to the wound on the patient's neck. Then the medical staff puts the neck strap 101 on the patient's neck, tightens the neck strap 101 through the Velcro at both ends of the neck strap 101, and fixes it on the neck strap 101. At the same time, the neck strap The tightness of 101 should be moderate to avoid causing pressure injury to the patient's neck. At this time, the patient's chin is on the pad 209. Since the arc plate 2002 has the same curve as the patient's chin, the joint 202 can cover the patient's chin. When the patient needs to turn his head left and right for exercise, the user's head turns, which can drive the arc plate 2002 covering the patient's chin to rotate synchronously. At this time, the arc plate 2002 drives the pad 209 fixedly connected to it to start rotating along the connection between it and the bracket 201. During the rotation, the arc plate 2002 is used. The patient can observe the scale bar on the bracket 201 through the wide mouth 2001, and can read the angle of head rotation, thereby avoiding excessive rotation of the patient's head and causing neck injury; when the patient needs to perform neck lifting exercise, the patient can slowly raise his head. At this time, since the patient's lower jaw stops limiting the pad 209, the spring 302 can rotate and reset, thereby pushing the joint 202 and the base cylinder 203 to rotate relative to each other. At this time, the joint 202 drives the bracket 201 fixedly connected thereto to rotate synchronously, and makes the pad 209 arranged on it fit the patient's lower jaw at degrees. When the patient stops raising his head, the bracket 201 is limited at degrees at this time to stop rotating, so that the medical staff can record the head movement angle. When the angle of the joint 202 is fixed, the position of the dial 204 indicated by the arrow 205 is the movement angle of the patient's head when it is lifted, thereby accurately measuring the movement angle of the patient's head when turning left and right, raising and lowering the head, thereby avoiding excessive exercise, adding burden to the neck, and assisting in measuring the movement degree of left flexion and right flexion.
