Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary devices, and in particular to an orthosis. Background Art

[0002] Breast plastic surgery positioning aids are auxiliary tools that have gradually emerged with the continuous development of breast plastic surgery technology and the increasing requirements for surgical precision. In the field of modern medical cosmetology, breast plastic surgery has become an important means for many women to improve breast shape and enhance their self-confidence. In order to ensure the best surgical results, breast plastic surgery positioning aids came into being. It can effectively assist doctors in precise positioning and planning before surgery, thereby improving the accuracy and safety of the surgery, reducing surgical risks, and helping patients achieve more satisfactory plastic surgery results.

[0003] After searching, the invention patent of Chinese Patent No. CN118662286A discloses an orthopedic spinal orthosis, including a device box, which is provided with multiple connecting rings, a compression cylinder is provided at the inner end of the device box, and fixing rods are fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the connecting rings near the device box, and a buffer device is provided at the inner end of the compression cylinder to prevent the driving rope from being subjected to excessive force. A rubber sleeve is provided on the upper inner side of the connecting ring, and the rubber sleeve is filled with fine sand. The inner end of the connecting ring is provided with an extrusion device for reducing the tightness of the fine sand in the rubber sleeve so that the rubber sleeve becomes hard as a whole. When flexible movement is required, the rubber sleeve remains soft, allowing the patient to perform movements such as bending over. When fixed support is required, the rubber sleeve is hardened by squeezing, thereby providing stable support, so that the user can adjust the degree of support in different situations, thereby achieving effective support for the patient's spine, thereby avoiding muscle stiffness caused by limited movement. Compared with the existing technology, this invention patent with Chinese patent number CN118662286A solves the problem that the existing device inevitably requires patients to bend over and do other actions when wearing it. When patients bend over or do other actions, they will be restricted by the rigid structure of the correction frame, so that the patient's activities during wearing and daily use are restricted by the support of the correction frame, which may cause muscle stiffness.

[0004] However, in actual use of the above-mentioned devices, most spinal correctors are fixed in length and difficult to adjust, and the patients who need spinal correction have a wide age range and therefore different body shapes. The corrector is difficult to adjust according to the patient's body shape during use, resulting in a poor fit between the device and the patient. In addition, different patients require different positions of spinal support, and the corrector is difficult to provide targeted support according to the actual needs of different patients, resulting in poor support effect. Therefore, an orthosis is proposed. Summary of the Invention

The lower portion of the adjustment shell 1 is provided with a main support 2, and the front end of the main support 2 is provided with a support mechanism;

[0032] The front end of the support mechanism is fixedly connected to a support plate 10, which can drive the support plate 10 to move to adjust its support strength. The adjustment shell 1 is provided with an adjustment mechanism inside, which can drive the main support 2 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the length of the main support 2. The lower part of the main support 2 is threadedly connected to an extension support 3. The front end of the extension support 3 is also provided with a support mechanism, and the lower part of the extension support 3 is threadedly connected to a waist fixing belt 4;

[0033] The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment slot 13 fixedly connected to the interior of the adjustment housing 1. A first motor 14 is mounted above the adjustment slot 13, and an adjustment assembly is mounted at the output end of the first motor 14. The adjustment assembly includes a screw 15 mounted at the output end of the first motor 14, which is rotationally connected to the adjustment slot 13. A transmission member 16 is threadedly connected to the upper portion of the screw 15, which is slidably connected to the adjustment slot 13. The main support 2 is fixedly connected to the side of the transmission member 16 away from the adjustment slot 13.

[0034] The bottom of the main support 2 is provided with a slot, in which a thread is provided. The number of extended supports 3 is several, and the appropriate number of connections can be selected according to the patient's body shape;

[0035] The supporting mechanism includes a supporting shell 17 to which the front ends of the main support 2 and the extended support 3 are fixedly connected, a second motor 24 is provided inside the supporting shell 17, and a supporting assembly is provided at the output end of the second motor 24, which can drive the upper fixedly connected supporting plate 10 to move, and the supporting assembly includes a worm 18 provided at the output end of the second motor 24, the worm 18 is rotatably connected to the supporting shell 17, the worm 18 is meshed with a worm gear 19, and the worm gear 19 is rotatably connected to the supporting shell 17, and the worm gear 19 is fixedly connected to a transmission gear 20 on the side away from the supporting shell 17, and the transmission gear 20 is meshed with a transmission rack 22, and the transmission rack 22 is fixedly connected to the support plate 10 on the side away from the supporting shell 17, and the support plate 10 is fixedly connected to a telescopic rod 21 on the side close to the transmission rack 22, and the telescopic rod 21 is fixedly connected to the supporting shell 17, and a limited sliding groove 23 is fixedly connected inside the supporting shell 17, and the transmission rack 22 is slidably connected inside the limited sliding groove 23;

[0036] In this embodiment, before using the device, the number of extension struts 3 that need to be connected to the lower part of the main strut 2 can be determined based on the body shape of the patient wearing it. After determining the number, the corresponding number of extension struts 3 will be connected to the main strut 2. Finally, the waist fixing belt 4 is threadedly connected to the lower part of the extension strut 3. After the connection is completed, the patient can wear the entire device. After wearing, observe again whether the connection length of the main strut 2 and the extension strut 3 is completely fitted with the patient's back. If there is still a small error, the first motor 14 set at the upper part of the adjustment slot 13 can be started. The first motor 14 can drive the screw rod 15 to rotate.
