DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] 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.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , an intelligent cushioning type spinal postoperative rehabilitation support brace, comprising:

[0023] The protective gear body includes a plurality of main supports 10, connecting rods 2, arc-shaped secondary supports 3 and elastic bands 4. The connecting rods 2 are hinged between adjacent main supports 10, the secondary supports 3 are hinged on the main supports 10, the elastic bands 4 are provided at the ends of the secondary supports 3, and the buckles 401 are provided at the ends of the elastic bands 4.

[0024] The side buffer assembly is provided between adjacent auxiliary struts 3 to buffer the force of the patient's spine tilting left and right;

[0025] A forward tilt buffer component is provided on the protective gear body and is used to buffer the force of the patient's spine tilting forward;

[0026] There are a plurality of first inclination sensors and a plurality of second inclination sensors, wherein the first inclination sensors are arranged on the auxiliary support rod 3 and the second inclination sensors are arranged on the main support 10;

[0027] The intelligent buffer control system is electrically connected to the side buffer components, the forward buffer components, a plurality of the first tilt sensors, and a plurality of the second tilt sensors. In the present invention, when the patient wears the rehabilitation support brace, the main support 10 can be close to the patient's back, and the arc-shaped auxiliary support rod 3 can wrap the position of the patient's ribs. The two elastic straps 4 are fixed together with the buckles 401 so that the support rod is worn on the patient. When the patient's spine tilts left and right, since the auxiliary support rods 3 are hinged to the main support 10, the auxiliary support rods 3 will tilt as the patient's spine tilts. Since the auxiliary support rods 3 are embedded with the first tilt sensor, the first tilt sensor can sense the tilt angle of the auxiliary support rod 3. The intelligent buffer control system is based on the The inclination signal of the auxiliary support rod 3 controls the operation of the side buffer assembly to drive the auxiliary support rod 3 to provide more stable and higher support strength for the patient's spine to tilt to the left. When the patient's spine leans forward, it can drive the bending between the main support 10 and the connecting rod 2 between the main support 10. The second inclination sensor on the main support 10 monitors the inclination angle of the main support 10. When it exceeds the preset value, the intelligent buffer control system controls the forward tilt buffer assembly according to the signal sent by the second inclination sensor, thereby pulling the main support 10 to recover, thereby driving the patient's spine to return to its original position and maintain an upright state. Specifically, a through cavity is provided in the middle of the main support 10, and the auxiliary support rod 3 is hinged to the cavity wall on the main support 10; the intelligent buffer control system includes a data acquisition module, a data processing module and a control execution module, the data acquisition module is used to collect the inclination signal of the auxiliary support rod 3 and the inclination signal of the main support 10 sent by the first inclination sensor and the second inclination sensor, the data processing module is used to process the inclination signal of the auxiliary support rod 3 and the inclination signal of the main support 10, judge the posture of the patient's spine, and generate an analysis result, and the control execution module is used to control the magnetorheological resistance according to the analysis result. The control execution module is also used to control the opening and closing of the electromagnet 16 based on the analysis results of the damping value of the support rod 5. The patient's rehabilitation process is divided into three stages: early, middle and late stages. The roll angle threshold is preset for the data processing module. The data processing module determines whether the inclination signal of the auxiliary support rod 3 exceeds the preset roll angle threshold. In the early rehabilitation process, the patient's spine is in a severe trauma repair period and the body is relatively fragile. Therefore, the roll angle threshold is set low and the target damping value of the magnetorheological damping rod 5 is large, thereby providing more stable support for the patient in the early stage and preventing the patient from suffering secondary damage to the spine due to strenuous exercise. In the mid-term rehabilitation process, the roll angle threshold is set higher and the target damping value of the magnetorheological damping rod 5 is reduced, so that the support of the protective gear to the patient in the mid-term gradually becomes gentle, providing the patient with a wider range of activities, while the protective gear can continue to effectively support the patient.In the later stage of rehabilitation, the patient's spinal trauma is basically repaired, and the bones, muscles and ligaments are basically restored. At this time, the roll angle threshold is set to be further increased, and the target damping value of the magnetorheological damping rod 5 is further reduced, so that the protective gear can provide gentler support for the patient in the later stage, providing the patient with more range of motion to strengthen the patient's later movement posture correction; the buckles 401 on the two elastic straps 4 cooperate with each other, and the structure of the buckle 401 is a conventional buckle, such as the buckle on the backpack, which is a prior art and will not be described here.

The massage assembly is used to massage the patient's back. When the patient's spine leans forward, the angle between the adjacent connecting rods 2 will change. At the same time, the adjacent main supports 10 will squeeze the springs 6 therebetween to cause deformation. The springs 6 will provide a buffering force for the patient's spine to lean forward, thereby preventing the patient's spine from leaning forward too much and causing secondary damage to the spine.

[0031] In this embodiment, the massage component includes a driving member 7, a rotating shaft 8, a wheel disc 9, a crank 11, a slide rod 12, a massage plate 13 and a correction component.

The iron core 17 is slidably arranged on the winding drum 14. The second inclination sensor on the main support 10 detects the tilt of the main support 10. The intelligent buffer control system receives a signal to control the electromagnet 16 to work. The electromagnet 16 applies attraction to the iron core 17. The rotating shaft 8 rotates to drive the winding drum 14 to rotate and tighten the pull rope 15, thereby pulling the main support 10 to recover, thereby driving the patient's spine to return to its original position. Specifically, protrusions are provided on both sides of the iron core 17, and a slide groove adapted to the iron core 17 and the protrusions is provided on the winding reel 14; in the later stage of rehabilitation, when the massage plate 13 performs vibration massage on the patient, the control execution module can also periodically control the electromagnet 16 to be attracted and disconnected, so that the main bracket 10 at one end of the pull rope 15 can be periodically pulled and released, forming a dynamic traction training mode, simulating professional rehabilitation training movements, helping patients to gradually restore spinal mobility, and achieve a smooth transition from dependence on protective gear to autonomous rehabilitation. At the same time, periodic traction and vibration stimulation can form a composite sensory input for the patient, enhance the brain's perception of spinal posture through the spinal nerve pathway, and help patients establish a correct upright reflex mechanism.

[0033] In this embodiment, the correction assembly further includes a guide wheel 18, which is rotatably mounted on one of the main supports 10.
