Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to a lumbar traction bed for traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation. Background Art

[0002] Among the non-surgical treatments for lumbar spondylosis, traction is the most commonly used method, which mainly uses mechanical force to pull the intervertebral space to reduce the internal pressure of the intervertebral disc and thus relieve pain symptoms.

[0003] Existing lumbar traction beds generally use manual traction. Since the human lumbar and thoracic vertebrae have natural curvatures, the traction process will disrupt the body's natural physiological curves, making it difficult for patients to maintain a natural and comfortable position during traction, which is not conducive to the treatment of lumbar diseases. Existing horizontal lumbar traction beds use a cushion to elevate the patient's waist before use, so that the entire spine is in a better extended position. However, the natural curvature of the lumbar spine varies from patient to patient, so the required cushion thickness is also different. Too little thickness will not achieve the desired effect, while too much thickness will easily cause discomfort. Therefore, the cushion adjustment is time-consuming. At the same time, conventional cushions do not have a heating effect, which is not conducive to promoting blood circulation in the waist and lumbar recovery. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example: See Figure 1-6As shown, the present invention provides a lumbar traction bed for Traditional Chinese Medicine rehabilitation, comprising a bed frame 1 and a bed body 101 mounted on the bed frame 1. A left traction frame 103 and a right traction frame 104 are slidably mounted on the left and right sides of the bed frame 1, respectively. A scissor mechanism 105 is connected between the left and right traction frames 103 and 104. The scissor mechanism 105 is provided with a screw 106 for adjusting the distance between the left and right ends of the scissor mechanism 105. One end of the screw 106 is connected to a handwheel 107. By rotating the handwheel 107, the distance between the left and right traction frames 103 and 104 can be directly adjusted, thereby achieving a traction effect. A notch 102 extending vertically through the right side of the bed body 101 is provided. An arc-shaped lumbar pad 4 is provided above the notch 102. A driven height adjustment mechanism 2 is connected between the lumbar pad 4 and the screw 106. Specifically, the driven height adjustment mechanism 2 includes a shaft 208 and a rotating rod 203 arranged below the waist pad 4, coaxially and spaced apart from each other. The shaft 208 slides axially and rotates circumferentially, and the rotating rod 203 is fixed axially and rotates circumferentially. A worm gear 202 and a cylindrical shell 220 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod 203. A worm 201 is provided in the middle of the screw 106. The worm gear 202 is engaged with the screw 106. An upper tooth plate 206 is fixed on the inner top wall of the shell 220. A lower tooth plate 207 is provided below the upper tooth plate 206. The lower end of the shaft 208 passes through the shell 220. The top wall and upper toothed plate 206 are connected to the lower toothed plate 207. A second bearing 209 is connected between the shaft 208 and the top wall of the housing 220. A third bearing 210 is connected to the middle portion of the shaft 208. Both the second and third bearings 209 and 210 are planar thrust bearings. A first spring 211 is squeezed between the second and third bearings 209 and 210. A sleeve 217 is threadedly connected to the upper portion of the shaft 208. The sleeve 217 slides axially and is fixed circumferentially. The top of the sleeve 217 is connected to a support plate 219, on which the waist pad 4 is mounted. It should be noted that the magnitude of the preload force exerted by the first spring 211 on the third bearing 210 can be roughly regarded as the force that can act on the waist pad 4 and just contact the waist pad 4 when it moves downward (ignoring the weight of the driven height adjustment mechanism 2 and the waist pad 4).When the lumbar pad 4 is in the low position and is used, the patient first lies on the above-mentioned lumbar traction bed with his head facing right, with his waist corresponding to the position of the lumbar pad 4, and then uses the straps on the left traction frame 103 to bind the part below the waist, and uses the straps on the right traction frame 104 to bind the part above the waist, and turns the hand wheel 107, which drives the screw 106 to rotate. On the one hand, the screw 106 drives the scissor mechanism 105 to deform to adjust the distance between the left and right traction frames, and on the other hand, The worm gear 202 is driven to rotate, and the worm gear 202 in turn drives the rotating rod 203, the housing 220 and the upper tooth plate 206 to rotate, the upper tooth plate 206 drives the lower tooth plate 207 to rotate, and the lower tooth plate 207 drives the shaft 208 to rotate, and the shaft 208 drives the sleeve 217 to move upward, so that the support plate 219 drives the waist pad 4 to move upward. Due to the looseness of the strap itself, it will take a certain distance for the traction to reach the required pulling strength, and the waist pad 4 itself is convex and has a certain curvature, so The upward movement distance of the waist pad 4 is relatively short. After the waist pad 4 moves up and presses against the waist, the sleeve 217 will push the shaft 208 downward in the opposite direction until the lower tooth plate 207 is separated from the upper tooth plate 206, thereby realizing the adaptive height adjustment step of the waist pad 4. When the screw 106 continues to adjust, it will no longer drive the lower tooth plate 207 to rotate, but only drive the scissor mechanism 105 to deform and perform traction. After the traction is completed, the patient stands up directly, the lower tooth plate 207 returns, and the hand wheel 107 is rotated in the opposite direction. 07 synchronously drives the scissor mechanism 105 to deform and the waist pad 4 to move downward. Since the scissor mechanism 105 requires more turns of the handwheel 107 to deform, the waist pad 4 first drops to a low position. When the screw 106 is continued to be adjusted, the waist pad 4 is difficult to move downward and will hinder the rotation of the handwheel 107 in the reverse direction. At this time, the rotation of the handwheel 107 is blocked. You can press the waist pad 4 to move the lower tooth plate 207 downward, and then continue to turn the handwheel 107 to adjust the distance between the left and right traction frames. After the adjustment is completed, loosen the press.

[0025] Based on the above embodiment, the lumbar traction bed further comprises a beam 108 disposed on the bed frame 1 for fixing the bed body 101. The direction of the beam 108 is consistent with that of the bed body 101. The lower surface of the beam 108 is connected to an L-shaped bracket 204. The rotating rod 203 is connected to the L-shaped bracket 204 via a first bearing 205 for axial fixation and circumferential rotation. Furthermore, the shaft 208 is disposed through the beam 108. The upper surface of the beam 108 is connected to a frame 215. A sleeve 217 extends through the top wall of the frame 215. The outer wall of the sleeve 217 is provided with a key slot 218. The frame 215 is provided with a key 216. The sleeve 217 is axially slidable and circumferentially fixed through the key connection between the key slot 218 and the key 216.

[0026] In addition to the above embodiment, a limit plate 212 is fixedly mounted on the shaft 208 above the beam 108. When the limit plate 212 moves downward to abut the beam 108, the lower tooth plate 207 is separated from the upper tooth plate 206. This arrangement prevents the bottom surface of the lower tooth plate 207 from directly contacting the inner bottom wall of the housing 220 and causing friction after the lower tooth plate 207 is separated from the upper tooth plate 206.

[0027] In addition to the above embodiment, the lumbar pad 4 is equipped with an electric heating assembly. A horizontally distributed microswitch 214 is located above the beam 108 and is located within the electric heating assembly's circuit. The bottom of the limit plate 212 has a chamfer 213 that triggers the microswitch 214 when it moves downward. The microswitch 214 is triggered when the lower tooth plate 207 moves downward, automatically turning on the electric heating assembly when the lumbar pad 4 has adaptively adjusted its height. When the waist is free of the lumbar pad 4, the lower tooth plate 207 moves upward and returns to its original position, automatically turning off the electric heating assembly.

[0028] On the basis of the above embodiment, the main body of the waist pad 4 is made of a plastic material with a certain toughness and bendability, and at least one pair of driven arc adjustment mechanisms 3 is provided between the waist pad 4 and the support plate 219. The driven arc adjustment mechanism 3 includes a side plate 301 fixed on the support plate 219, and a vertically distributed guide rail 302 is fixed in the middle of the opposite side of the side plate 301, and V-shaped rods 303 are hinged at both ends of the opposite side of the side plate 301, and connecting columns 3031 are provided at the adjacent ends of the V-shaped rods 303. The opposite side of the side plate 301 is provided with a connecting plate 304 which can be adjusted up and down, and a guide groove 305 is fixed in the middle of the opposite side of the connecting plate 304, and the guide groove 305 slides with the guide rail 302. The top of the connecting plate 304 is fixedly connected to the waist pad 4, and groove openings 3041 are provided at both ends of the lower part of the connecting plate 304. The connecting column 3031 rolls and slides with the groove opening 3041, and the opposite end of the V-shaped rod 303 is hinged to the waist pad 4 through a hinge seat 310. A transverse plate 306 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the opposite side of the connecting plate 304. A limiting post 307 is connected to the support plate 219 and extends through the transverse plate 306. A stopper 308 is provided at the top of the limiting post 307. A second spring 309 is squeezed outside the limiting post 307 and between the transverse plate 306 and the support plate 219. When the middle of the lumbar pad 4 is compressed, the connecting plate 304 is pushed downward. The connecting plate 304 pushes the connecting post 3031 downward through the groove 3041, and the distal end of the V-shaped rod 303 moves upward and pushes the lumbar pad 4, thereby increasing the opening of the lumbar pad 4 and reducing its curvature. In other words, the curvature of the lumbar pad 4 is smoother, allowing the lumbar pad 4 to fit more evenly to the waist. This high fit and more even heating of the waist are achieved, thereby improving blood circulation in the waist and promoting lumbar vertebral recovery.

[0029] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
