Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary devices, and specifically to a patient auxiliary brace. Background Art

[0002] A brace is a tool placed outside the body and designed to assist patients in moving. Commonly used ones include walkers, wheelchairs, crutches, leg braces, and upper limb braces, etc. Some patients are usually prone to mobility difficulties after surgery, and in such cases, a brace is needed to assist in moving or rehabilitative training to enable the patient to have a certain basic mobility ability after the operation.

[0003] Existing patient walkers are usually of an integrated design, which cannot be stored when not in use, resulting in a large space occupation when not needed. At the same time, they only have the function of supporting and assisting walking. In a hospital setting, they are still prone to inconvenience in some cases, and cannot be adjusted according to the patient's rehabilitation situation, easily leading to the problem that the walker itself is directly idle when transitioning to crutches. Summary of the Invention

[0004] (I) Technical Problems to be Solved In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a patient auxiliary brace, which has the advantages that it can monitor the patient's status when in use as a whole and can be conveniently disassembled as a whole after use to reduce the occupied space. It solves the problems that existing patient walkers are usually of an integrated design, which cannot be stored when not in use, resulting in a large space occupation when not needed, and only have the function of supporting and assisting walking. In a hospital setting, they are still prone to inconvenience in some cases, and cannot be adjusted according to the patient's rehabilitation situation, easily leading to the problem that the walker itself is directly idle when transitioning to crutches.

[0005] (II) Technical Solutions The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above technical problems is as follows: A patient auxiliary brace includes two brace units and a functional connecting member disposed between the two brace units; The brace unit is composed of a main support member, a secondary support member connected to the main support member and capable of being folded, and an auxiliary connecting member; The brace unit and the functional connecting member are connected by means of fasteners, and connection contacts for communication are provided at the connection part. A data processing module connected to a heart rate monitoring sensor is disposed inside the functional connecting member, and a display screen is disposed outside; A support armrest is provided at the end of the main support member, and a heart rate monitoring sensor is disposed outside the support armrest; When the secondary support member is folded, it is located inside the main support member, and the auxiliary connecting member is clamped and connected in an electric manner.

[0006] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This patient auxiliary brace has the advantages that when in overall use, it can monitor the patient's state, and after use, it can be conveniently disassembled as a whole, thus reducing the occupied space. 2. This patient auxiliary brace has the advantage that after the brace unit is disassembled, it can be used alone as a support tool, so that it can be conveniently transitioned to a support cane or connected to other positions as an auxiliary support.

[0007] On the basis of the above technical solutions, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0008] Further, a functional support foot pad is provided at the end of the main support member, and a V-shaped spacing groove is opened at the end of the functional support foot pad.

[0009] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that after the brace is separated and inverted, the medicine bottle hanging ear can be connected through the V-shaped spacing groove at the anti-slip support pad.

[0010] Further, a power supply is designed inside the main support member, and the data processing module and the heart rate monitoring sensor are powered by the power supply.

[0011] Further, a connection hole is provided inside the support member, and the connection contact is arranged inside the connection hole and restricts the position between the brace unit and the functional connection member through the connection hole. The connection hole is circular, and the connection contact is an elastic contact and restricts the position of the functional connection member so that it cannot rotate circumferentially.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that by providing the connection contact, while restricting the non-rotation of the functional connection member, data transmission and power supply can be achieved.

[0013] Further, two blocking rings respectively abutted against the opposite sides of the two main support members are provided outside the functional connection member, and fixing nuts that are threadedly connected to the outside of both ends of the functional connection member and press against the other side of the main support member are provided.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that through the setting of the fixing nuts, the connection and disassembly of the functional connection member and the main support member become convenient.

[0015] Further, a storage groove with a layout direction perpendicular to the connection direction of the functional connection member is opened inside the main support member, and the sub-support member is stored inside the storage groove and forms a rotational connection that restricts the rotation angle.

[0016] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the restriction on the direction of the storage groove can effectively improve the overall stability of the brace.

[0017] Further, the secondary support member includes a long support rod rotatably connected to the storage groove and having the other end snap-connected to the inner wall of the storage groove. An auxiliary limiting rod with an end that can form a snap connection with the storage groove is rotatably connected to one side of the long support rod facing the storage groove.

[0018] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that by providing the long support rod, auxiliary support can be directly carried out through the long support rod, and the long support rod is limited by the auxiliary limiting rod, making the overall brace stable.

[0019] Further, the secondary support member includes an elastic snap connection member disposed inside the main support member. The elastic snap connection member is composed of an elastic member and a snap block, and the end of the long support rod or the auxiliary limiting rod is squeezed by the snap block to form a limit.

[0020] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that the long support rod or the auxiliary limiting rod can be conveniently limited by the provided elastic snap connection member, preventing the support from failing after its shape changes randomly.

[0021] Further, the auxiliary connection member includes a T-shaped clamping rod slidably connected to the main support member and having a moving direction the same as the arrangement direction of the functional connection member. An electric driving member for driving the T-shaped clamping rod to move is disposed outside the main support member, and a reset elastic piece with the other end connected to the main support member is fixedly connected to the outside of the T-shaped clamping rod.

[0022] The beneficial effect of adopting the above further solution is that through the equipment of the auxiliary connection member, the position of the T-shaped clamping rod can be adjusted, so as to facilitate the clamping operation through the gap between the T-shaped clamping rod and the main support member.

[0023] Further, it further includes an extension frame disposed outside the functional connection member.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0034] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0035] In the embodiment, Figures 1-5 a patient auxiliary brace is provided. The present invention includes two brace units and a functional connecting member 1 arranged between the two brace units; The brace unit is composed of a main support member 2, an auxiliary support member 3 connected to the main support member 2 and capable of being folded, and an auxiliary connecting member 4; The brace unit and the functional connecting member 1 are connected by means of fasteners, and a connection contact 5 for communication is provided at the connection. A data processing module connected to the heart rate monitoring sensor is arranged inside the functional connecting member 1, and a display screen is arranged outside; A support handrail 6 is arranged at the end of the main support member 2, and a heart rate monitoring sensor 7 is arranged outside the support handrail 6; When the secondary support member 3 is folded, it is located inside the main support member 2, and the auxiliary connection member 4 realizes clamping connection electrically.

[0036] The heart rate monitoring sensor has two monitoring schemes: individual monitoring and cooperative monitoring by two sensors through data processing module processing; The heart rate monitoring sensor 7 is composed of a resistive heart rate monitoring induction sheet, a pressure sensor, and a photoelectric heart rate monitoring sensor. The data processing module judges whether both brace units are currently connected to the functional connection member 1; When in the connected state, the heart rate is monitored by the data processing module in cooperation with the current passing through the resistive heart rate monitoring induction sheets on both sides; When in the non-connected state, first the pressure sensor detects which brace unit is being held, and then the photoelectric heart rate monitoring sensor is used for detection during the holding process; In particular, wireless transmission modules, positioning modules, and gyroscopes are provided in both brace units and the functional connection member 1. The gyroscope can conveniently identify whether the patient has fallen or other situations; When in the connected state, the data processing module uniformly processes and transmits the signals, and at this time, due to dual-mode positioning, the current position can be more accurately located; When in the non-connected state, the pressure sensor triggers the wireless transmission module, the positioning module, and the gyroscope.

[0037] Furthermore, a functional support foot pad 8 is provided at the end of the main support member 2, and a V-shaped spacer groove is provided at the end of the functional support foot pad 8.

[0038] Furthermore, a power supply is designed inside the main support member 2, and the data processing module and the heart rate monitoring sensor 7 are powered by the power supply.

[0039] Furthermore, a connection hole is provided inside the main support member 2. The connection contact 5 is arranged inside the connection hole and restricts the position between the brace unit and the functional connection member 1 through the connection hole. The connection hole is circular, and the connection contact 5 is an elastic contact and limits the position of the functional connection member 1 so that it cannot rotate circumferentially.

[0040] Furthermore, two blocking rings 9 are provided outside the functional connection member 1 and are respectively abutted against the opposite sides of the two main support members 2. Threaded connections are provided at both ends of the functional connection member 1 with fixing nuts 10 that press against the other side of the main support member 2.

[0041] In particular, anti-slip rubber pads that abut against the main support member 2 are provided at the ends of the fixing nut 10 and the blocking ring 9, and both the fixing nut 10 and the blocking ring 9 are threadedly connected to the functional connection member 1.

[0042] When the main support member 2 is disconnected from the functional connection member 1, the fixing nut 10 can be directly unscrewed, and then the main support member 2 can be removed by sliding. When connection is required, first determine the connection direction through the connection contact 5, and after confirmation, perform insertion, and then connect the fixing nut 10 again.

[0043] Furthermore, a storage groove is formed inside the main support member 2, and the arrangement direction of the storage groove is perpendicular to the connection direction of the functional connection member 1. The secondary support member 3 is stored inside the storage groove and forms a rotational connection that limits the rotation angle.

[0044] Furthermore, the secondary support member 3 includes a long support rod 31 that is rotationally connected to the storage groove and the other end of which is clamped to the inner wall of the storage groove. An auxiliary limiting rod 32 whose end can be clamped to the storage groove is rotationally connected to one side of the long support rod 31 facing the storage groove.

[0045] Furthermore, the secondary support member 3 includes an elastic clamping member 33 arranged inside the main support member 2. The elastic clamping member 33 is composed of an elastic member and a clamping block, and the end of the long support rod 31 or the auxiliary limiting rod 32 is squeezed by the clamping block to form a limit.

[0046] Particularly, angle limiting blocks for the long support rod 31 and the auxiliary limiting rod 32 are respectively arranged on the outer part of the main support rod 2 and the outer part of the long support rod 31. Through the angle limiting blocks, the rotation angles of the long support rod 31 and the auxiliary limiting rod 32 are limited to prevent the support failure caused by excessive rotation. At the same time, an auxiliary handle is arranged on the outer part of the long support rod 31.

[0047] When the secondary support member 3 is in use, the long support rod 31 can be directly rotated so that it is no longer connected to the elastic clamping member 33 and disengages from the storage groove. Then the auxiliary limiting rod 32 can be exposed. At this time, rotate the auxiliary limiting rod 32 so that it forms a clamping connection with the elastic clamping member 33, and the deployment of the secondary support member 3 can be completed. When storage is required, only the auxiliary limiting rod 32 needs to be reset first and then the long support rod 31 is reset.

[0048] Furthermore, the auxiliary connection member 4 includes a T-shaped clamping rod 41 that is slidably connected to the main support member 2 and the moving direction of which is the same as the arrangement direction of the functional connection member 1. An electric driving member 42 for driving the T-shaped clamping rod 41 to move is arranged on the outer part of the main support member 2. A reset elastic piece 43 whose other end is connected to the main support member 2 is fixedly connected to the outer part of the T-shaped clamping rod 41.

[0049] Particularly, the electric driving member 42 is an electric push rod and the output end abuts against the end of the T-shaped clamping rod 41; During the use of the auxiliary connection member 4, the electric driving member 42 drives the T-shaped clamping rod 41 to slide, so as to complete clamping through the gap between the T-shaped clamping rod 41 and the main support member 2; During the patient's movement, the brace unit can be inverted, and then the brace unit can be clamped to the bedside through the copying connection member 4 and used as an infusion stand beside the bed. At the same time, during normal use, its clamping function can also be used as a hanging ear to facilitate the connection of bagged items. Moreover, during daily activities, some daily necessities, such as toothbrushes, case materials, and medicines, can all be clamped or connected through the auxiliary connection member 4.

[0050] Furthermore, it also includes an extension frame 11 arranged outside the functional connection member 1. A connection sleeve 12 is arranged at the end of the extension frame 11 and is externally connected to the functional connection member 1 through the connection sleeve. A connection column 13 is fixedly installed on the outside of the extension frame 11, and a storage platform 14 is fixedly installed on the inside of the extension frame 11.

[0051] Through the above settings, under normal conditions, the extension frame 11 is an optional installation item. When it is installed, additional items can be stored through the storage platform 14, and the connection column 13 can be used as a hanging ear for connection, making the overall portability of the device better.

[0052] Furthermore, a relief groove is formed on one side of the connection sleeve 12 away from the connection column 13. The width of the relief groove is adapted to the end width of the T-shaped clamping rod 41. The outside of the connection column 13 is provided with threads and is adapted to the threads inside the fixing nut 10. A counterweight block 15 is adsorbed and connected to the center of the bottom of the extension frame 11.

[0053] Specifically, the adsorption method of the counterweight block 15 can be magnetic adsorption or negative pressure adsorption.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 6 : On the above basis, through the provided extension frame 11 and its cooperating components, the present device can have the following deformations: First, separate the functional connection member 1 from the brace unit, and then the fixing nut 10 and the blocking ring 9 can be removed. At this time, the extension frame 11 can be separated from the functional connection member 1, and the functional connection member 1 can be removed. At this time, reverse the two brace units mirror-image so that the two T-shaped clamping rods 41 are in an opposite state, and invert the extension frame 11. First, connect the end of the T-shaped clamping rod 41 to the relief groove outside the connection sleeve 12 so that the connection sleeve 12 is sleeved on the outside of the T-shaped clamping rod 41, and assist the movement through the electric driving member 42 so that the connection column 13 can be smoothly inserted into the connection with the main support member 2. Then, tighten the fixing nut 10 in cooperation with the connection column 13 and synchronize the operation on the other side. At this time, the functional connection member 1 can be discarded, and the two brace units are connected by the inverted extension frame 11 and the accessories connected thereto, and the height and width states of the overall brace can be partially changed.

[0055] Specifically, the extension rack 11 can also be set to a retractable state, so as to ensure that its overall width is adjustable through the retractable extension rack 11.
