Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of scoliosis, and in particular to a wearable device for rehabilitation and correction of scoliosis. Background Art

[0002] Scoliosis is a common spinal deformity, especially common among adolescents. Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis refers to structural scoliosis of unknown cause with an onset age of 10 to 17 years. If left untreated, it may lead to severe trunk deformity, thereby limiting the ability and function of the chest. At present, spinal correction braces are one of the common conservative treatments for scoliosis, and their effectiveness has been widely recognized. However, when wearing and using spinal correction braces, users need to wear a close-fitting, buttonless pure cotton garment inside the spinal correction brace. When wearing a close-fitting pure cotton garment inside, because the spinal correction brace is customized according to the patient's body shape and scoliosis, its shape fits closely to the curve of the human trunk. Therefore, during the wearing process, the spinal correction brace needs to be placed on the side of the body, starting from the lower back, and it needs to be pried open and inserted. However, this process may cause friction between the spinal correction brace and clothes, resulting in wrinkles on the clothes. The wrinkles on the clothes will reduce the contact area between the spinal correction brace and the skin, causing the spinal correction brace to squeeze the human body, increase the sense of oppression on the human body, and aggravate the human body's discomfort. Secondly, due to the obstruction of the spinal brace, when tidying up the horizontal wrinkles, the user can only pull the clothes from the front opening of the spinal correction brace to tidy up, which is inconvenient. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to overcome the disadvantage that when wearing a spinal correction brace, the spinal correction brace generates friction with clothes, causing wrinkles on the clothes, and the wrinkles on the clothes will reduce the contact area between the spinal correction brace and the skin, so that when the spinal correction brace squeezes the human body, the pressure on the human body is increased, and the discomfort of the user is aggravated, the present invention provides a rehabilitation correction wearable device for scoliosis.

[0004] The technical implementation scheme of the present invention is: a wearable device for rehabilitation and correction of scoliosis, including a spinal correction bracket; also including a mounting plate and an airbag; the spinal correction bracket is equipped with a mounting plate; the mounting plate is equipped with an airbag for adjusting the correction effect; the airbag is connected to an air pump; a pressure sensor is arranged on the surface of the airbag; an airbag peripheral controller is provided; an air inlet is opened on the mounting plate; and the air inlet is connected to the air pump.

[0005] More preferably, it further comprises an isolation surface layer; the installation sheet is provided with an isolation surface layer for absorbing sweat and improving the comfort of the user; and the air bag is located between the isolation surface layer and the installation sheet.

[0006] More preferably, the airbags are divided into three; the three airbags are distributed laterally in sequence, each airbag is connected to an air pump; and the three airbags are not connected to each other.

[0007] More preferably, it further comprises a fixing sheet; fixing sheets are arranged on four sides of the isolation surface layer; and all the fixing sheets form a rectangular frame.

[0008] More preferably, it also includes a blowing plate; a blowing plate for blowing air to accelerate air circulation is provided on the mounting plate; a blowing hole is provided on the blowing plate; the blowing plate is located between the mounting plate and the isolation surface layer; the blowing plate is a rectangular frame; the airbag is located in the rectangular frame formed by the blowing plate; an air inlet hole is provided on the blowing plate; the air inlet hole is connected to the airbag exhaust hole; and a micro solenoid valve is provided on the air inlet hole of the blowing plate.

[0009] More preferably, the isolation surface layer is made of a soft, breathable and sweat-absorbent material.

[0010] More preferably, the mounting plate is connected to the spinal correction bracket by bolts.

[0011] More preferably, the isolation surface layer and the mounting sheet are detachably connected.

[0012] More preferably, the connection between the mounting plate and the spinal correction bracket is chamfered.

[0013] More preferably, a connecting piece is provided on the mounting piece, and the connecting piece is made of a flexible material.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: In the technical solution provided by the present invention, the friction between the clothes and the human body when the user smoothes out the clothes is reduced by the expansion and contraction of the airbag, thereby improving the comfort of the user. At the same time, the pressure sensor and pressure distribution model on the surface of the airbag can be used to intuitively judge whether the wrinkles of the clothes are smoothed out to ensure the wearing effect.

[0015] The inflation and deflation of the airbag can relieve the discomfort felt by the user during the initial wearing process. At the same time, the air pump repeatedly inflates and deflates the airbag, massaging the body through the airbag to further relieve the discomfort. Secondly, the blowing function of the blowing plate can lower the skin temperature, avoid sweat accumulation, and reduce the discomfort caused by damp skin.

[0016] By adjusting the connecting screws between the mounting plate and the bracket, the position of the force point and the magnitude of the force can be flexibly adjusted to meet the correction needs at different stages.

[0017] The isolation surface layer and the fixing sheet facilitate the fixation of the tablets, prevent the tablets from moving and the colloid from spilling, and finally adhere to the spinal correction bracket, reducing the difficulty of cleaning. And through the inflation and deflation of the airbag, it is ensured that the tablets will not rub against the skin during the wearing and removal process, and prevent the medicine on the tablets from adhering to the bracket.

[0018] The inflation and deflation of the airbag simplifies the process of putting on and taking off, reducing the inconvenience of the user. The design of the isolation surface layer facilitates cleaning and extends the service life of the stent. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0025] Example 1

[0026] A wearable device for rehabilitation and correction of scoliosis, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a spinal correction brace 1;

[0027] It also includes a mounting plate 2 and an airbag 4; the mounting plate 2 is mounted on the spinal correction bracket 1; the airbag 4 is mounted on the mounting plate 2; the airbag 4 is connected to the air pump; a pressure sensor is arranged on the surface of the airbag 4; the airbag 4 is externally equipped with a controller; an air inlet is opened on the mounting plate 2; and the air inlet is connected to the air pump.

[0028] It also includes an isolation surface layer 3; the isolation surface layer 3 is installed on the installation sheet 2; and the air bag 4 is located between the isolation surface layer 3 and the installation sheet 2.

[0029] The airbags 4 are divided into three; the three airbags 4 are arranged laterally in sequence, and each airbag 4 is connected to an air pump; and the three airbags 4 are not connected to each other; by adjusting the order in which the airbags 4 collide, the user is assisted in tidying up the wrinkles on the user's clothes when wearing the spinal correction brace 1.

[0030] It also includes a fixing sheet 6; the fixing sheets 6 are arranged on all four sides of the isolation surface layer 3; and all the fixing sheets 6 form a rectangular frame.

[0031] It also includes a blowing plate 5; a blowing plate 5 is arranged on the mounting plate 2; a blowing hole is opened on the blowing plate 5; the blowing plate 5 is located between the mounting plate 2 and the isolation surface layer 3; the blowing plate 5 is a rectangular frame; the airbag 4 is located in the rectangular frame formed by the blowing plate 5; an air inlet hole is opened on the blowing plate 5; the air inlet hole is connected to the exhaust hole of the airbag 4; and a micro solenoid valve is arranged on the air inlet hole of the blowing plate 5.

[0032] The isolation surface layer 3 is made of a soft, breathable, sweat-absorbent material, which reduces the friction between the isolation surface layer 3 and the skin and improves the comfort of the user.

[0033] The mounting plate 2 is connected to the spinal correction bracket 1 by bolts, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning.

[0034] The isolation surface layer 3 and the mounting sheet 2 are detachably connected, so that the isolation surface layer 3 can be easily disassembled and cleaned.

[0035] The connection between the mounting plate 2 and the spinal correction bracket 1 is chamfered to avoid scratching the user.

[0036] A connecting piece is provided on the mounting piece 2 , and the connecting piece is made of a flexible material, so as to facilitate fixing the mounting piece 2 on the spinal correction bracket 1 .

[0037] When the present invention is used, firstly, a 3D printing device is used to print out a suitable spinal correction bracket 1 according to the patient's body shape. Next, the isolation surface layer 3, the air bag 4, the blowing plate 5 and other parts are installed on the mounting plate 2, and the mounting plate 2 is fixed to the spinal correction bracket 1 by screws, ensuring that the isolation surface layer 3 is flush with the inner wall of the spinal correction bracket 1.

[0038] When the spinal correction brace 1 is used while wearing clothes, since the spinal correction brace 1 is customized according to the patient's body shape and scoliosis, and its shape fits closely with the curve of the human trunk, during the wearing process, the spinal correction brace 1 needs to be placed on the side of the body, starting from the lower back, and it needs to be pried open and inserted. However, this process may cause friction between the spinal correction brace 1 and the clothes, causing wrinkles on the clothes. These wrinkles will reduce the contact area between the spinal correction brace 1 and the human body, increase the sense of oppression caused to the human body when the spinal correction brace 1 squeezes the human body, and increase the discomfort of the human body. Therefore, after wearing the spinal correction brace 1, the user needs to carefully tidy up the wrinkles of the clothes to ensure that the clothes are flat and reduce friction and discomfort.

[0039] Due to the obstruction of the spinal brace, when adjusting the lateral wrinkles, the user can only pull the clothes from the opening of the chest support to adjust them. Moreover, because the support fits the human body, when pulling the clothes to smooth out the wrinkles, especially at the force-bearing point of the support, there will be a large friction between the clothes and the human body, which may cause discomfort to the user. Secondly, the user can only adjust in front of the chest, and the spinal correction support 1 is in contact with the human body, and the user cannot accurately judge whether the wrinkles of the clothes at the force-bearing point of the spinal correction support 1 are smoothed. Therefore, the present invention is designed with an airbag 4; when worn, the air pump is controlled by an external controller to inflate the airbag 4, so that the airbag 4 expands, which is convenient for the user to fix the spinal correction support 1 on the waist and adjust the stress point of the spinal correction support 1. After the adjustment, other people hold the outer side of the spinal correction support 1 and fix the spinal correction support 1 with their hands. Then the user pulls the clothes from the chest. At this time, the airbag 4 contracts to increase the gap between the stress point of the spinal correction support 1 and the human skin, which is convenient for the user to pull the clothes and reduces the friction between the clothes and the human body, thereby improving the user's comfort. Secondly, when the user is tidying up the wrinkles of the clothes, after the airbag 4 contracts, the air pump can be used to re-fill the three airbags 4 with gas. The order of inflation is to start with the first airbag 4 on the left to inflate first, push the clothes to gather to the chest, and facilitate the user to smooth the clothes.

[0040] Furthermore, when the user wears the spinal correction brace 1 at the initial stage, the spine is squeezed by the spinal correction brace 1, and there will be obvious discomfort. Therefore, when the patient wears it at the initial stage, after wearing it for about 2 hours, the spinal correction brace 1 needs to be removed to relieve the pain for about 20 minutes, and then the spinal correction brace 1 can be worn again. Since the spinal correction brace 1 is relatively cumbersome to wear, it needs the assistance of others to wear it, and it needs to lie flat to adjust the tightness of the spinal correction brace 1, so it is not convenient to wear it frequently outdoors. When the present invention is used, the spine is squeezed and corrected by inflating the airbag 4. When the user's pain intensifies and becomes unbearable, the airbag 4 is controlled to deflate, so that the airbag 4 drives the isolation surface layer 3 away from the human skin, relieves the squeezing of the human body, and relieves the user's discomfort. At the same time, the air pump can be controlled to repeatedly inflate and deflate the airbag 4 to achieve the effect of massaging the human body. In addition, the gas released from the airbag 4 is blown out through the blowing holes on the blowing plate 5 to cool the skin, avoiding poor ventilation in the spinal correction brace 1 when it is hot, and the user will feel uncomfortable.

[0041] Furthermore, during the use of the present invention, there is a possibility that the user will experience great pain in the body during the spinal correction process, and needs to apply tablets to relieve the discomfort in the painful part of the body. At this time, if the spinal correction brace 1 is worn after putting on clothes, the clothes will cause the tablets to move during the process of adjusting the wrinkles of clothes, causing discomfort to the user. Therefore, when applying the tablets, the user generally chooses to wear the spinal correction brace 1 directly in contact with the skin. At this time, since some tablets directly have adhesive colloids on them, after the tablets are applied to the affected area, the affected area is squeezed by the spinal correction brace 1. In hot weather, the colloid on the squeezed tablets will seep out from the sides of the tablets and directly adhere to the spinal correction brace 1, causing the subsequent users to need to clean the spinal correction brace 1. However, the spinal correction brace 1 has an irregular shape and needs to be broken apart for cleaning, which makes it difficult for users to clean. Therefore, the present invention is designed with an isolation surface layer 3, which isolates the tablets and the spinal correction brace 1. The colloid on the tablets will only adhere to the isolation surface layer 3 after overflowing. Subsequent users only need to remove the isolation surface layer 3 for cleaning, which is convenient for users to clean the spinal correction brace 1.

[0042] Furthermore, when applying the medicine, some tablets do not have adhesive colloids, and the user needs to use tape to fix them. However, when the user wears the spinal correction brace 1, the spinal correction brace 1 may directly scratch the tape, causing the tape to fall off. Therefore, the invention is designed with a fixing sheet 6; the user directly places the tablet coated with medicine in the interlayer formed by the isolation surface layer 3 and the fixing sheet 6, and then uses an air pump to inflate the air bags 4 on the left and right sides first. At this time, the air bag 4 in the middle is in a state of expansion. In the gas state, the cross-sectional shape of the three airbags 4 is in a concave shape as a whole. The airbags 4 drive the tablets to be concave to the outside of the spinal correction support 1, so that the tablets with medicine adhered to them are away from the human skin, and the medicine on the tablets is prevented from rubbing against other parts of the human skin during the wearing of the spinal correction support 1, causing the medicine to adhere to the spinal correction support 1, increasing the difficulty of cleaning for the user. When the spinal correction support 1 is worn, the air pump is used to fill the middle airbag 4 with gas, so that the middle airbag 4 is flush with the side airbags 4, so that the pressure on the squeezed part of the user is uniform. When the spinal correction support 1 needs to be removed, the middle airbag 4 is controlled to deflate, so that the cross-sectional state of the three airbags 4 is in a concave shape as a whole, so that the medicine on the tablets is prevented from rubbing against the human skin when the user removes the spinal correction support 1.

[0043] Furthermore, when the tablets are placed in the interlayer between the fixing sheet 6 and the isolation surface layer 3, the fixing sheet 6 is relatively thin and has a poor clamping effect. Therefore, the present invention inflates the side airbags 4 so that the airbags 4 and the fixing sheet 6 cooperate to clamp the tablets to prevent the tablets from falling.
