Detailed Implementation
[0019] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects disclosed in this embodiment as detailed in the appended claims.
[0020] It should be noted that the limb support involved in this application can be widely used in the recovery of human limbs. It is not limited to the place of use and has broad application prospects in general home settings, which is conducive to promoting limb health.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-5In this embodiment of the invention, a limb support includes a base plate 1 and a rubber frame 8. The rubber frame 8 has a U-shaped structure and further includes a U-shaped frame 6 and sliding uprights 9. The U-shaped frame 6 is equipped with a top plate 7, on which two sliding grooves 71 are symmetrically formed. Two sliding uprights 9 are provided, and the two sliding uprights 9 pass through the sliding grooves 71. The sliding uprights 9 are slidably connected to the sliding grooves 71. An adjusting screw 16 is rotatably installed between the U-shaped frame 6 and the top plate 7. A threaded sleeve 15 is screwed onto the adjusting screw 16. The adjusting screw 16 is driven to rotate by an adjusting power component. A hinge rod 14 is hinged to each side of the threaded sleeve 15. The top ends of the two hinge rods 14 are respectively hinged to the inner side of the corresponding sliding upright 9. The adjusting screw 16 is hollow inside and its bottom is connected to the disinfection supply component; a mist nozzle 25 is installed at an angle on the top of the adjusting screw 16, and the nozzle of the mist nozzle 25 is set at an angle to the outward. A spray groove 82 is opened at the center of the bottom of the rubber frame 8. The rotation stroke of the mist nozzle 25 is limited within the spray groove 82. Multiple massage protrusions 81 are evenly distributed on the inner side of the rubber frame 8. The sliding plate 9 and the part located at the upper end of the top plate 7 form a semi-open structure with the top plate 7. The rubber frame 8 and the semi-open structure are connected by an elastic element. A sliding seat 2 is slidably connected on the bottom plate 1. The sliding seat 2 is driven to slide by a transverse component. The U-shaped frame 6 is set above the sliding seat 2 by two first telescopic devices 3.
[0022] In this embodiment, by adjusting the rotation of the lead screw 16 and the hinge relationship between the hinge rod 14 and the adjusting lead screw 16, the two sliding uprights 9 are brought closer or further apart. Combined with the lateral movement assembly, this facilitates the lifting of different parts of the limb. Through the action of the elastic element between the rubber frame 8 and the semi-orifice structure, the massage protrusions 81 can massage the limb skin as the sliding uprights 9 move closer or further apart, facilitating recovery and saving manpower. The rubber frame 8, due to its inherent elasticity and strength, can both lift the limb and deform under the combined action of the sliding uprights 9 and the elastic element, thus massaging the limb. The mist nozzle 25 sprays liquid to disinfect blind spots (the part of the limb's bottom in contact with the frame). The rotating adjusting lead screw 16 and the tilted mist nozzle 25 increase the disinfection range, expanding the disinfection area. Disinfection combined with massage is beneficial for the recovery of the limb.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the elastic element includes a horizontal spring 10 and a vertical spring 11. The horizontal spring 10 is evenly distributed in a plurality of such springs and the plurality of horizontal springs 10 are connected between the inner side of the sliding upright plate 9 and the two sides of the rubber frame 8. The vertical spring 11 is evenly distributed in a plurality of such springs and the plurality of vertical springs 11 are connected between the outer bottom of the rubber frame 8 and the surface of the top plate 7.
[0024] In this embodiment, the horizontal spring 10 and the vertical spring 11 enable the rubber frame 8 to provide elastic support for the limbs, effectively protecting the limbs, enhancing the lifting experience, facilitating massage, and promoting blood circulation.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, it further includes two vibration units symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the rubber frame 8. The vibration unit includes a inclined spring 12 and an exciter 13. The inclined spring 12 is installed on the inner side of the sliding plate 9 and the top of the inclined spring 12 is inclined inward. The exciter 13 is installed on the outer side of the rubber frame 8 and the outer side of the exciter 13 is fixed to the top of the inclined spring 12.
[0026] In this embodiment, the inclined spring 12 and the vibrator 13 create an inclined force on the rubber frame 8 under the vibration of the vibrator 13. This inclined force can be decomposed into horizontal and vertical forces, which, in conjunction with the vibration of the horizontal spring 10 and the vertical spring 11, and the deformation of the rubber, provide a comprehensive massage to the limbs inside the rubber frame 8. The vibrator 13 is installed on the outside of the rubber frame 8, and the sliding upright plate 9 moves closer to each other, thus enhancing the massage effect. The inclined spring 12 provides support for the vibrator 13, improving the stability of the vibration and making it durable.
[0027] Please see Figures 1-5 In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the disinfection supply assembly includes an infusion tube 21, a spray pump 22, and a storage tank 23. The storage tank 23 is installed on the outer wall of the U-shaped frame 6. The storage tank 23 is connected to the bottom of the adjusting screw 16 through the infusion tube 21. The spray pump 22 is installed on the tube body of the infusion tube 21. A rotating part 20 is also provided at the connection between the infusion tube 21 and the adjusting screw 16.
[0028] In this embodiment, by adding disinfectant to the storage tank 23, the disinfectant is pumped through the spray pump 22, passing through the infusion tube 21 and the inside of the adjusting screw 16, and then sprayed through the mist nozzle 25 to areas that are difficult for the limbs to reach. This is quick and labor-saving, and increases the disinfection range. The rotating part 20 makes it easy to input disinfectant into the rotating adjusting screw 16 while preventing the infusion tube 21 from getting tangled.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-5 As another embodiment of the present invention, the form of the power assembly is not limited, as long as it can facilitate infusion disinfection while adjusting the lead screw 16. The power assembly includes a driven gear 17, a driving gear 18 and a drive motor 19. The drive motor 19 is installed on the inner bottom of the U-shaped frame 6, the driving gear 18 is installed on the shaft extension end of the drive motor 19, and the driven gear 17 is installed on the periphery of the adjusting lead screw 16.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first telescopic device 3 is fixedly installed on the surface of the sliding seat 2, and the protruding ends of the two first telescopic devices 3 are respectively hinged to the bottom of the U-shaped frame 6.
[0031] In this embodiment, the first telescopic device 3 can be an electric telescopic rod or a hydraulic telescopic rod, etc., which will not be described in detail here. The setting of the first telescopic device 3 not only makes it easy to adjust the horizontal height of the lifting and the inclination of the U-shaped frame 6, but also makes it convenient for the rubber frame 8 to lift the limbs of the human body vertically and tilted (the opening of the rubber frame 8 faces one side). This allows for lifting different positions of the same joint of the limb, and also increases the range of disinfection and massage, eliminating the discomfort of lifting the limb in a fixed position at the same joint.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of casters 24 with brakes are evenly installed on the bottom of the base plate 1. The casters 24 with brakes facilitate movement and restrict movement.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 In another embodiment of the present invention, the lateral movement component is not limited, as long as it can satisfy the lateral movement of the sliding seat 2 on the surface of the base plate 1. The lateral movement component includes a second telescopic device 5. A fixed seat 4 is fixed on one side of the surface of the base plate 1. The second telescopic device 5 is horizontally mounted on the fixed seat 4. The extended end of the second telescopic device 5 is fixedly connected to the sliding seat 2. The second telescopic device 5 is preferably a hydraulic telescopic rod, which makes the lateral movement more stable and facilitates changing the lifting position of different joints.
