Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention can be applied in the field of spinal correction adjustment technology, and specifically is an intelligent scoliosis correction force adjustment device and adjustment method. Background Art

[0002] At present, most orthoses are non-intelligent devices, which have problems such as being unable to adjust tightness, surrounding the trunk in a large area, and improper correction force, resulting in a lack of comfort during the wearing process, and even pain, which affects compliance. The effect of the orthosis is directly related to the wearing time of the patient. Therefore, the research on intelligent AI S orthosis technology for the purpose of improving patient comfort, optimizing the correction mechanical environment, and enhancing patient compliance has become a major research hotspot in the treatment of scoliosis orthosis. The introduction of emerging technologies such as 3D printing technology, new materials, and micro-electronic sensor equipment has enabled intelligent scoliosis orthoses to achieve certain research results in terms of intelligent manufacturing process, real-time visualization of the correction process, and lightweight equipment. However, there are still problems such as a fixed correction force loading mode, inability to adapt the appropriate correction force system to different patients, and improve the treatment effect; a single control strategy, and continuous pressure on the same part will cause discomfort reactions such as pain and pressure sores, which reduces patient compliance. Therefore, a smart scoliosis correction force adjustment device and adjustment method are needed. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above deficiencies in the prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent scoliosis correction force adjustment device and adjustment method.

[0004] The present invention includes a support shell, a motor, a controller, an interactive screen and a drive component. The support shell is provided with an interactive screen. The data port of the interactive screen is connected to the data port of the controller. The control output end of the controller is connected to the control input end of the drive component. The drive component is fixedly connected to the traction end of an external traction scoliosis orthosis.

[0005] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a motor, a flange, a corrective force joint, and a magnetic element. The motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the motor bracket through a motor fixing plate. The motor shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the traction end of an external traction-type scoliosis orthosis through a corrective force joint. A flange is provided on the outer side of the motor shaft and is fixedly connected to the corrective force joint of the traction end. The corrective force joint has protrusions and depressions for engaging with the corrective force hub of the traction end that needs to be adjusted. The corrective force joint is inlaid with a magnetic element, which can be used for positioning and adsorbing the corrective force hub that needs to be adjusted.

[0006] Furthermore, the device is provided with a voltage stabilizer, and the power supply is respectively supplied to the motor, the controller and the interactive screen through the voltage stabilizer.

[0007] Furthermore, the motor rotates forward / reverse to tighten / loosen the driving line of the correction force hub to change the magnitude of the correction force.

[0008] Furthermore, the device is provided with a communication module for uploading or downloading patient data to the cloud.

[0009] An intelligent scoliosis correction force adjustment method is used to implement the intelligent scoliosis correction force adjustment device.

[0010] The adjustment device obtains patient data through the cloud, and the patient data includes current scoliosis data and current treatment demand target data; when correction force adjustment is required, the patient wears the traction scoliosis orthosis, and starts correction force adjustment after the correction force joint is connected with the correction force hub of the intelligent scoliosis orthosis;

[0011] A force sensor is provided on the wearer to monitor the correction force value on the wearer, and a force sensor is provided on the patient to monitor the correction force value on the wearer. The adjustment device changes the correction force to meet the demand by tightening / loosening the driving line of the correction force hub;

[0012] The correction force threshold F set by the controller in the device is adjusted according to the current treatment demand target data. 阈 , the controller compares the correction force information received in real time with the correction force threshold to determine whether the correction force needs to be adjusted;

[0013] The correction force output is dynamically updated based on the correction force adjustment information input by the patient on the interactive screen.

[0014] Furthermore, the sample size of the correction force collected in the random time period is T. When the average correction force is less than the correction force threshold, that is:

[0015]

[0016] The intelligent regulator determines that the correction force needs to be adjusted, and guides the user to use the correction force interface of the intelligent regulator to connect and adjust the correction hub on the orthotic device in sequence;

[0017] When the correction force interface on the intelligent regulator is connected to the correction hub on the orthotic device, the motor rotates forward / reverse to tighten / loosen the drive line of the correction force hub to change the correction force. The correction force acting on the human body is:

[0018]

[0019] where F 电is the force of the correction force interface acting on the correction force hub, R is the outer circle radius of the correction force hub, and r is the radius of the driving wire wheel; during the adjustment process, the correction force value acting on the human body is monitored in real time, and the correction force sample volume t is collected, where t is much smaller than T.

[0020]

[0021] When the correction force of the current correction hub meets the demand, the intelligent orthosis will determine whether the patient's current overall trunk force state meets the demand. If it does not meet the demand, the intelligent regulator will guide the assistant to release the correction force interface from the current correction force hub, change it to the next correction force hub, and repeat the above adjustment process; if it meets the demand, the intelligent regulator will guide the assistant to release the correction force interface from the current correction force hub to complete the correction force adjustment process.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The present invention enables the corrective force of the scoliosis orthosis to be adaptively adjusted. Compared with the mainstream non-adjustable orthosis or non-feedback orthosis on the market, it has the advantages of precise control and on-demand correction.

[0024] 2. The present invention enhances the human-computer interaction capability, expands the user's perception of the patient's current correction status, and improves the overall intelligence level. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0040] The motor support 201 includes a controller fixing plate 2011, a motor fixing plate 2012, a power supply limit plate 2013, a control support interface 2014, and a power supply support interface 2015 ( Figure 7 ); the control bracket 202 includes a voltage stabilizer interface 2021, a left handle 2022, an interactive screen interface-control bracket 2023, a switch interface 2024, a tail baffle slot-control bracket 2025, and a motor bracket interface-control bracket 2026 ( Figure 8 ); the power supply bracket 203 includes a power supply fixing plate 2031, a right handle 2032, an interactive screen interface-power supply bracket 2033, a tail baffle slot-power supply bracket 2034, a motor bracket interface-power supply bracket 2035 ( Fig. 9 ). The control support interface 2014 structure of the motor support 201 is fixedly connected to the motor support interface-control support 2026 structure of the control support 202; the power support interface 2015 structure of the motor support 201 is fixedly connected to the motor support interface-power support 2035 structure of the power support 203.

[0041] The interactive screen 1 is fixedly connected to the control bracket 202 through the interactive screen interface-control bracket 2023 structure, and is also fixedly connected to the power bracket 203 through the interactive screen interface-power bracket 2033 structure. The switch 4 is fixedly connected to the control bracket 202 through the switch interface 2024 structure. The tail baffle 5 can slide up and down in the structure formed by the tail baffle slot-control bracket 2025 and the tail baffle slot-power bracket 2034. The controller 6 is fixedly connected to the motor bracket 201 through the controller fixing plate 2011. The power supply 7 is confined in the structural space formed by the power limit plate 2013 and the power fixing plate 2031. The voltage regulator 8 is fixedly connected to the control bracket 202 through the voltage regulator interface 2021 structure.

[0042] The power supply 7 supplies power to the interactive screen 1, the driving component 3 and the controller 6 after passing through the switch 4 and the voltage regulator 8. The controller 6 can control the display content of the interactive screen 1 and the rotation angle and torque of the driving component 3. The controller 6 can also receive external signals through wireless transmission.

[0043] The motor 301 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the motor bracket 201 through the motor fixing plate 2012 structure, and the motor shaft extends out of the outer wall of the motor bracket 201 and is fixedly connected to the flange 302. The flange 302 is fixedly connected to the correction force joint 303, and the correction force joint 303 has a protrusion and a depression for engaging with the correction force hub to be adjusted. The correction force joint 303 is inlaid with a magnetic attraction element 304, which can be used for positioning and adsorption with the correction force hub to be adjusted.

[0044] When the switch 4 is pressed, the power supply 7 and the electrical components are connected, so that the present invention is turned on. The controller 6 can receive external signals, specifically the patient's current force and temperature information sent by the cloud platform, and display the information on the interactive screen 1.

[0045] like Fig.11 As shown, the user can view the current force magnitude and trunk temperature of the patient using the intelligent scoliosis orthosis and set the correction force threshold through the interactive screen 1; when the patient's current force magnitude is less than the correction force threshold for a long time, the user is reminded to operate the present invention to adjust the correction force.

[0046] When the correction force needs to be adjusted, the present invention reminds the user through the interactive screen 1 that the user and the patient cannot be the same person at this time, and the patient should wear the intelligent scoliosis brace correctly. The information displayed on the interactive screen 1 will guide the user to set the correct adjustment procedure and complete the docking instructions of the correction force joint 303 and the correction force hub of the intelligent scoliosis brace. Then the user holds the left handle 2022 and the right handle 2032 tightly, docks the correction force joint 303 with the correction force hub to be adjusted, and starts the correction force adjustment after the docking is completed.

[0047] The entire correction force adjustment process is as follows:

[0048] A force sensor is provided on the scoliosis correction device to monitor the correction force on the wearer. The correction force value is uploaded to the cloud through the processor and communication module on the correction device, and then the cloud sends the correction force information to the adjustment device of the present invention. The user needs to adjust the correction force threshold set in the device according to the treatment needs. The intelligent regulator will compare the correction force information received in real time with the correction force threshold to determine whether the correction force needs to be adjusted. The amount of correction force samples collected within a certain time period is T. When the average correction force is less than the correction force threshold, that is:

[0049]

[0050] The intelligent regulator determines that the correction force needs to be adjusted, and guides the user to use the correction force interface of the intelligent regulator to connect and adjust the correction hub on the orthotic device in sequence. There is a motor inside the intelligent regulator. When the correction force interface on the intelligent regulator is connected to the correction hub on the orthotic device, the motor rotates forward / reverse to tighten / loosen the drive line of the correction force hub to change the correction force. The correction force acting on the human body is:

[0051]

[0052] where F 电 is the force of the correction force interface acting on the correction force hub, R is the outer radius of the correction force hub, and r is the radius of the drive wire wheel. During the adjustment process, the correction force value acting on the human body is monitored in real time, and the correction force sample volume t is collected, where t is much smaller than T.

[0053]

[0054] When the correction force of the current correction hub meets the demand, the intelligent orthosis will determine whether the patient's current overall trunk force state meets the demand. If it does not meet the demand, the intelligent regulator will guide the assistant to release the correction force interface from the current correction force hub, change it to the next correction force hub, and repeat the above adjustment process; if it meets the demand, the intelligent regulator will guide the assistant to release the correction force interface from the current correction force hub to complete the correction force adjustment process.

[0055] When the scoliosis correction device needs to be taken off, the removal program on the intelligent regulator needs to be started. The intelligent regulator will guide the user to adjust all correction force hubs in sequence and put all driving lines to the loosest state to facilitate the patient to take off the scoliosis correction device.

[0056] Only the preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in this field without departing from the purpose of the present invention, and various changes should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
