[0018] Beneficial Effects

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an adjustable bracket for upper limb health care after breast surgery, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. An adjustable bracket for upper limb health care after breast surgery, which is provided with an output motor, a No. 1 gear, a power motor and a screw rod. When the power motor and the output motor are running, the height and angle can be adjusted. At the same time, the setting of the No. 1 hinge column and the No. 2 hinge column not only provides support for the arm support, but also limits the angle adjustment to a reasonable adjustment range during the height adjustment process. The subsequent angle adjustment can be adjusted to a suitable position more quickly, thereby bringing comfort to the upper limbs. At the same time, due to the coordination and limiting effect between the two, the height and angle changes will not be too large, which will increase the bearing pressure of the bracket body and the movable support, thereby reducing the service life of the movable support and the bracket body.

[0021] 2. An adjustable bracket for upper limb care after breast surgery, which indirectly changes the contact area between the massage ball and the stress-relieving ball and the upper limbs and palms through the setting of two pneumatic components, thereby playing a massage stimulation role, promoting blood circulation in the hands, nerve and muscle recovery, and thus improving the efficiency of nursing work. In addition, the massage ball and the stress-relieving ball are independently controlled by two pneumatic components, so the massage ball and the stress-relieving ball can work together or independently.

[0022] 3. An adjustable bracket for upper limb care after breast surgery is provided with a pressure sensor and an electronic display screen. When the patient holds a pressure-relieving ball, the ball will be deformed, causing internal pressure changes, which are then transmitted to the electronic display screen through the pressure sensor connected to the pressure-relieving ball. The electronic display screen will display the pressure change numbers. The reflected numbers can be used to intuitively judge the recovery of the upper limbs, providing convenience for nursing work.

In this specification, the schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same scheme or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more schemes or examples.

[0035] See also Figure 1 to Figure 6 The present invention proposes an adjustable bracket for upper limb care after breast surgery. When in use, the operator places the upper limb of the breast cancer patient who needs care after surgery in the arm support 5 on the bracket body 4. The design of the arm support 5 fully considers ergonomics to ensure that the patient can get sufficient support and comfort when using it. A rectangular plate 15 is specially set at one end of the arm support 5. This structure not only enhances the stability of the arm support, but also provides convenience for the subsequent adjustment. Velcro 16 is connected to the other end of the arm support 5. Velcro 16 passes through the rectangular plate 15, and its inner surface is designed to fit closely to the outer surface of the arm support 5. Such a design allows the operator to change the tension of the arm support 5 by adjusting the length of the Velcro 16 according to the specific needs of the patient. The arm support 5 and the Velcro 16 are both made of soft and comfortable cotton material with good plasticity and breathability, which not only improves the patient's comfort, but also helps to reduce skin friction and pressure.

[0036] By adjusting the length of the Velcro 16, the overall tension of the arm support 5 can be accurately adjusted, thereby ensuring that the patient's upper limbs obtain the best comfort during the nursing process. In addition, since the length of the Velcro 16 is adjustable, the size of the arm support 5 also changes accordingly, which provides more space for the free movement of the upper limbs after breast surgery and increases the comfort of the user, which is crucial for the recovery of the upper limbs after surgery. More importantly, the size adjustability of the arm support 5 enables the device to adapt to the upper limb sizes of different patients, thereby expanding the scope of application of the nursing support. Whether it is a larger patient or a smaller patient, they can obtain a nursing experience that suits them by adjusting the length of the Velcro 16. This design not only improves patient satisfaction, but also provides a flexible and efficient nursing tool for medical care staff.

[0037] When the patient's upper limbs need to be cared for, and the height of the bracket body 4 needs to be adjusted to meet the needs of different patients or different care stages, the operator can easily make adjustments. The operator fixedly installs a rectangular sleeve 2 on the left side of the base 1. This design not only provides a stable support point for the entire adjustment system, but also plays a role in shielding and aesthetics. At the bottom end of the rectangular sleeve 2, a power motor 20 is installed. This motor is the core component of the adjustment system and is responsible for driving the entire height adjustment process. The output shaft of the power motor 20 is fixedly sleeved with a screw rod 21, and the outer surface of the screw rod 21 is threadedly sleeved with a movable support 3 located inside the rectangular sleeve 2. This design enables the rotation of the screw rod 21 to directly drive the movable support 3 to move up and down.

[0038] The setting of the rectangular sleeve 2 is crucial for the entire height adjustment. It not only provides necessary protection for the power motor 20 and the screw rod 21, but also ensures the stability and limit function of the movable support 3 during the movement, prevents the movable support 3 from excessive movement, and ensures the safety and accuracy of the adjustment process. The bracket body 4 is hinged to the top of the movable support 3 through the fixed rod 17. When the power motor 20 is started, the screw rod 21 will rotate, causing the movable support 3 to move up or down, thereby adjusting the overall height of the bracket body 4.

[0039] In order to further control the adjustment height of the bracket body 4, a hinged column No. 1 13 is hinged on the right side of the top of the base 1, and a hinged column No. 2 14 is hinged on the other end of the hinged column No. 1 13, and the top of the hinged column No. 2 14 is hinged to the bracket body 4. Due to the arrangement of the hinged column No. 1 13 and the hinged column No. 2 14, the overall adjustment height of the bracket body 4 is limited, and the adjustment height distance of the bracket body 4 is limited. Such an arrangement will not make the adjustment distance too large, making the entire movable support 3 too high, resulting in a shift in the center of gravity, thereby causing the movable support 3 to be unstable. At the same time, the arrangement of the hinged column No. 1 13 and the hinged column No. 2 14 also supports the bracket body 4 as a whole, making the entire bracket more stable during use, reducing the risk of discomfort or injury to the patient due to instability.

[0040] After the height adjustment is completed, in order to obtain a better sense of comfort for the upper limb being cared for, the bracket body 4 needs to be adjusted in angle to ensure that the upper limb being cared for can obtain the best sense of comfort and care effect. A No. 1 gear 19 located inside the movable support 3 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the fixed rod 17, and an output motor 18 is arranged below the fixed rod 17. This is another key power source responsible for driving the angle adjustment process. A rotating gear 22 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the output shaft of the output motor 18, and the rotating gear 22 is meshed and connected with the No. 1 gear 19 to form an efficient transmission structure.

[0041] When the operator starts the output motor 18, the rotating gear 22 will rotate. At this time, the outer surface of the rotating gear 22 will be meshed with the No. 1 gear 19, so that the No. 1 gear 19 drives the fixed rod 17 to rotate, and then drives the bracket body 4 to rotate as a whole, thereby adjusting the overall angle of the bracket body 4. This design not only makes the angle adjustment simple and quick, but also can accurately control the rotation angle of the bracket body 4 to meet the needs of different patients, and further promote the rehabilitation of the upper limbs after breast surgery.

[0042] At the same time, the arrangement of the first hinge column 13 and the second hinge column 14 not only limits the height adjustment of the bracket body 4, but also plays an important role in the angle adjustment. At the same time, the arrangement of the first hinge column 13 and the second hinge column 14 also plays a supporting role for the bracket body 4.

[0043] The arrangement of the first hinge column 13 and the second hinge column 14 limits the overall angle adjustment range of the bracket body 4, ensures that the adjustment angle is within a reasonable range, and avoids discomfort to the upper limbs due to excessive height adjustment. This design also ensures that the upper limbs are always kept in a comfortable and safe position during the height and angle adjustment process. In addition, the arrangement of the first hinge column 13 and the second hinge column 14 also helps to automatically limit the angle adjustment within a reasonable range during the height adjustment process. In this way, even after the height adjustment, the upper limbs can quickly reach a comfortable position through angle adjustment, avoiding additional adjustments caused by improper height adjustment, and reducing the complexity and time consumption of the operation. However, it should be noted that if the height and angle adjustments are not well coordinated, one adjustment may be excessive, thereby increasing the bearing pressure of the bracket body 4 and the movable support 3. This increase in pressure may affect the service life of the bracket body 4 and the movable support 3. Therefore, in the design of the present invention, the height and angle adjustments are interrelated, and the operator needs to consider the coordination of the two when adjusting to ensure the stability and durability of the bracket.

[0044] After the height and angle of the upper limb after breast surgery are adjusted on the arm support 5, in order to further promote the rehabilitation effect after breast surgery, the operator evenly arranges massage balls 6 on the inner surface of the arm support 5. The massage balls 6 are arranged in a triangle. The design and layout of these balls have been carefully considered and arranged in a triangular manner to ensure the uniformity and comprehensiveness of the massage coverage. The massage balls 6 are made of rubber material, which not only has good elasticity and can adapt to different pressures, but also has durability and stability, ensuring the reliability of long-term use.

[0045] In order to further enhance the patient's comfort, the outer surface of the massage ball 6 is specially covered with a layer of cotton cloth. This cotton cloth is not only soft and skin-friendly, but also reduces friction when in direct contact with the skin, making the patient feel more comfortable during use. The covering of cotton cloth also makes the massage ball 6 visually softer, providing a warm nursing environment for the patient. When the internal gas of the massage ball 6 is compressed and expanded, its outer surface will change shape accordingly, and the contact area with the upper limb skin will also change accordingly. This change simulates the effect of artificial massage, massaging the upper limbs through gentle and rhythmic pressure changes. This massage effect can effectively promote blood circulation in the upper limbs, accelerate the disappearance of postoperative swelling, and also has a positive promoting effect on the rehabilitation of nerves and muscles.

[0046] In order to make the massage ball 6 work properly, a straight pipe 12 is opened inside the arm support 5, and the interior between the straight pipes 12 is connected to the interior of the massage ball 6, providing a necessary channel for the inflation and deflation of the massage ball 6. Such a design enables the massage ball 6 to quickly respond to air pressure changes as needed to achieve a massage effect. An annular pipe 11 is opened inside the left side of the arm support 5, and the interior of the annular pipe 11 is connected to the interior of the straight pipe 12. An electric pneumatic cylinder 23 is installed inside the left side of the bracket body 4. The other end of the electric pneumatic cylinder 23 is sleeved with a cylinder 8. The outer surface of the cylinder 8 is connected to a hard pipe 24. The top of the hard pipe 24 passes through the bracket body 4 and extends to the outside of the bracket body 4. One end of the hard pipe 24 is connected to the straight pipe 12, ensuring that the gas can be smoothly transmitted from the electric pneumatic cylinder 23 to the massage ball 6.

[0047] When the operator starts the electric pneumatic cylinder 23, the other end of the electric pneumatic cylinder 23 will continuously reciprocate in the cylinder 8, causing the gas pressure in the cylinder 8 to change. This pressure change is transmitted through the hard pipe 24, thereby affecting the gas pressure in the annular pipe 11 and the straight pipe 12. Since the massage ball 6 is made of rubber, when the gas pressure in the annular pipe 11 and the straight pipe 12 changes, the gas pressure in the massage ball 6 will also change accordingly, causing the volume and shape of the massage ball 6 to change. This change allows the contact area between the outer surface of the massage ball 6 and the skin of the upper limb to be continuously adjusted, thereby achieving a massage effect on the upper limb.

[0048] When the upper limb is placed in the arm support 5, in order to provide a supporting force for the palm of the upper limb, a pressure relief ball 7 is installed on the left side of the bracket body 4. The pressure relief ball 7 is also made of rubber material. A hose is connected to the bottom end of the pressure relief ball 7. The connecting pipe is connected to the inside of the pressure relief ball 7. The bottom end of the connecting pipe passes through the bracket body 4 and is connected to the cylinder 8. In order to achieve this function, two electric pneumatic cylinders 23 and two cylinders 8 are provided, respectively controlling different gas flow paths. When another electric pneumatic cylinder 23 is started, the gas pressure in the cylinder 8 connected to the hose will change, and this change will be directly transmitted to the inside of the pressure relief ball 7, thereby changing its internal pressure. As the internal pressure changes, the area of ​​contact between the outer surface of the pressure relief ball 7 and the palm will also change accordingly, achieving a massage stimulation effect on the hand. The pressure relief ball 7 can simulate the massage action of the human hand and provide effective hand care for the patient. In addition, the two electric pneumatic cylinders 23 allow for independent control of the massage ball 6 and the pressure relief ball 7, providing a personalized care plan for the patient. For example, the air pressure of the massage ball 6 can be adjusted to provide different degrees of upper limb massage according to the patient's feedback or rehabilitation progress, while the air pressure of the pressure relief ball 7 can be adjusted to optimize the care effect of the hands.

[0049] In order to more accurately reflect the recovery of the upper limbs after breast surgery, the operator is provided with a pressure sensor 9 on the left side of the pressure relief soft ball 7, and an electronic display screen 10 is installed on the left side of the bracket body 4. The pressure sensor 9 is connected to the electronic display screen 10. At this time, when the internal pressure of the pressure relief soft ball 7 is at a constant value (the pressure at this time is a constant value, and the grip pressure of the palm can change its shape), the patient after breast surgery pinches the pressure relief soft ball 7 with the five fingers of the palm, thereby changing the shape of the pressure relief soft ball 7 at this time, thereby changing the internal pressure. This change in internal pressure will be transmitted to the electronic display screen 10 through the pressure sensor 9, and the electronic display screen 10 will be intuitively displayed in the form of numbers. At this time, the nursing staff can judge the recovery of the upper limbs of the patient after breast surgery through the digital display on the electronic display screen 10. This feedback mechanism not only provides a quantitative evaluation tool for nursing staff, but also provides a positive rehabilitation incentive for patients. Through this intuitive pressure feedback, patients can better participate in their own rehabilitation process, enhancing the initiative and effect of rehabilitation.

[0050] In summary, after the upper limb is placed on the arm support 5 after breast surgery, the size of the arm support 5 is changed by adjusting the length of the Velcro 16, so that the upper limb freedom in the arm support 5 can obtain the best comfort. The adjustment of the Velcro 16 is not only simple and fast, but also can accurately adapt to the needs of different patients. Whether it is a large patient or a small patient, they can obtain a nursing experience suitable for themselves through this simple adjustment. The flexibility and convenience of this adjustment mechanism enable patients to enjoy more humane nursing services during postoperative recovery. Then, the power motor 20 is started to rotate the screw rod 21, so that the movable support 3 moves up or down in the rectangular sleeve 2. With the movement of the movable support 3, the first hinge column 13 and the second hinge column 14 will be movable. The movement range of the first hinge column 13 and the second hinge column 14 will limit the subsequent angle adjustment to a small range, which will more quickly and conveniently position the angle adjustment to a suitable position, bringing more comfort to the upper limbs. At this time, the output motor 18 is started to rotate the rotating gear 22. At this time, the outer surface of the rotating gear 22 will be meshed with the first gear 19, and then the first gear 19 drives the fixing rod 17 and the bracket body 4 to adjust the angle as a whole.

[0051] Then the operator starts the two electric pneumatic cylinders 23, and the other ends of the two electric pneumatic cylinders 23 will reciprocate in the two cylinders 8, and the contact area between the massage soft ball 6 and the pressure relief soft ball 7 and the upper limbs and palms will be changed through the connecting pipe, the hard pipe 24, the annular pipe 11 and the straight pipe 12, thereby playing a massage stimulation role. This movement imitates the natural contraction and relaxation of human muscles, provides patients with a mechanical assistance that simulates a real massage experience, promotes blood circulation in the hands, nerve and muscle rehabilitation, and improves the efficiency of nursing work. This design allows the pressure and contact area to be adjusted according to the needs of different patients to achieve a personalized massage experience. When the pressure in the pressure relief soft ball 7 is constant, the palm pressure can change its shape. The deformation of the pressure relief soft ball 7 caused by the palm pressure causes the internal pressure to change. This interaction not only provides a physical therapy, but also allows patients to participate in their own rehabilitation process through actual physical feedback, which will then be transmitted to the electronic display screen 10 through the pressure sensor 9. The electronic display screen 10 will display numbers, which intuitively reflect the recovery of the upper limbs, reduce the workload of medical staff, and enable them to focus more on other nursing tasks.

[0052] This device is designed with consideration of postoperative upper limb comfort, freedom, massage promotion, and recovery monitoring to improve rehabilitation efficiency and quality of life for patients after breast cancer surgery.
