Description

A traction device and traction method for treating cervical spondylosis. Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cervical spine disease treatment technology, specifically to a traction device and traction method for treating cervical spine diseases. Background Technology

[0002] Cervical traction is a common physical therapy method used to relieve neck muscle tension and pain. Its basic principle is to apply external force to the cervical spine, causing moderate stretching and thus relieving symptoms of cervical spondylosis.

[0003] Currently, cervical traction chairs are often used in the treatment of cervical spondylosis. However, when using these chairs, the patient sits in the chair and the cervical spine is subjected to traction for a long time. This can cause the patient's body to become fatigued and tend to lean forward or to the side, resulting in deviation of the cervical traction angle and thus affecting the treatment effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traction device and traction method for treating cervical spine lesions, so as to solve the problems existing in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a traction device for treating cervical spondylosis, comprising a traction chair, a support portion installed on the seat of the traction chair, and a shoulder support portion installed above the seat. The support portion includes: a slide rod, which has a concave structure and slides through the armrest of the traction chair seat; a support plate is fixed to the top of the slide rod, and a folding rod is fixedly connected to opposite sides of the front and rear sides of the slide rod; a spring, which is sleeved on the surface of the slide rod, and both ends of the spring are fixed to the bottom of the support plate and the top of the armrest, respectively; a folding frame, which slides through the left side of the traction chair seat, and the other end of the folding frame extends to the inner side of the traction chair seat and is fixed with a backrest plate; and a transmission component is installed between the folding frame and the folding rod.

[0006] Preferably, the transmission component includes: a rack plate one, fixedly connected to the top of the folding rod; a gear one and a gear two, both rotatably connected to the left side of the traction chair seat, the surface of the gear one meshing with the rack plate one, and the gear one meshing with the gear two; and a rack plate two, fixed to the bottom end of the folding frame, the bottom of the rack plate two meshing with the top of the gear two.

[0007] Preferably, the shoulder support includes: a fixed box, fixed to a support frame at the seat frame, with a sliding plate sliding through the front and rear sides of the right side of the fixed box; a movable plate, one end of which slides through the surface of the sliding plate, the other end of which is hinged to a hinge plate, and the other end of which is hinged to a limit plate; and a force-applying component, installed inside the fixed box and used to apply force to push the sliding plate.

[0008] Preferably, the force-applying component includes: a gear three, rotatably connected to the middle position inside the fixed box, the top shaft of the gear three extending to the top of the fixed box and fixed with a rocker arm; a rack plate three, located on both sides of the inner cavity of the fixed box and slidably connected to its inner wall, the opposing sides of the rack plate three on both sides meshing with the surface of the gear three, and one end of the rack plate three being fixed to one end of the slide plate.

[0009] Preferably, the shoulder support further includes a sliding member, which includes: a movable block slidably connected to the surface of the movable plate, with a push rod hinged to the top of the movable block; and a connecting plate fixed to the top of the hinge plate, with one side of the connecting plate hinged to the other end of the push rod.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the movable block is threaded with a fixing bolt, and the other end of the fixing bolt is used to engage with the top of the movable plate.

[0011] Preferably, the top of the slide plate is provided with several limiting holes, and one end of the top of the movable plate is threadedly connected to a fastening bolt, and the other end of the fastening bolt passes through the movable plate and is used in conjunction with the interior of the limiting holes.

[0012] Preferably, the support further includes an expansion member, which includes: a piston tube fixed to one side of the traction chair seat frame, a piston rod sliding through the inside of the piston tube, and the other end of the piston rod being fixed to the bottom of a rear folding rod; and an airbag fixed to one side of the backrest plate, with an air outlet pipe connecting one side of the airbag to the piston tube.

[0013] Preferably, the rocker arm has an internal threaded connection to a limit bolt, and the other end of the limit bolt is used to engage with the top of the fixing box.

[0014] Preferred, a traction method for treating cervical spondylosis comprises the following steps: A. When using the method, the patient first sits on the seat of the traction chair. Then, depending on the patient's position on the seat, the limit bolt can be used to release the limit on the rocker arm. Next, the rocker arm drives the gear three to rotate, causing the rack plates on both sides to move to opposite sides; B. Subsequently, depending on the height of the patient's shoulder, the fastening bolt can be used to release the limit on the movable plate and the sliding plate, and the position of the movable plate on the sliding plate can be adjusted. Then, the fixing bolt can be rotated to release the limit on the moving block, and the moving block can be pushed to move. During movement, force can be applied to the push rod, causing the hinge plate to deflect, allowing the limit plate to move downwards until the limit plate contacts the patient's shoulder; C. Afterwards, medical personnel can use the traction belt to position the patient... A. The patient places the traction belt around their neck, then rotates the turntable to tighten the rope and move the traction belt upwards, thus stretching the neck. B. After prolonged suspension, if the back is tired, the patient can press down on the support plate with both arms, causing the slide bar to move downwards. This moves the rack plate, and the meshing gear rotates, causing the gear to rotate and move the rack plate towards the chair. This, in turn, moves the folding frame and backrest towards the back, providing support for the waist and back. C. As the slide bar moves downwards, it also moves the piston rod into the piston tube, allowing gas in the piston tube to be delivered through the outlet pipe to the air bladder until it inflates, thus improving the comfort of the patient's back support.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: After the patient sits on the traction chair, as the movable plate slides on the surface of the sliding plate and the height of the limiting plate is adjusted by the fixing bolt, the limiting plate can be adjusted according to the position of the patient's shoulder, so as to facilitate the limiting of the patient's shoulder during traction, so that the limiting plate abuts against the shoulder to prevent it from moving upward, and ensures that the traction force is concentrated on the cervical spine.

[0016] When the cervical spine is suspended and tractioned for a long time, the present invention uses the force applied by the arms to the support plate, which moves the slide bar together. Then, through the transmission component, the folding frame and the backrest are moved to fit and support the patient's back, thereby stabilizing the patient's body posture, concentrating the traction force on the cervical spine, and reducing muscle load and fatigue damage.

[0017] As the sliding rod applies downward force, it also drives the piston rod into the piston tube, allowing the gas in the piston tube to enter the air bladder through the air outlet tube until the air bladder inflates, thereby improving the comfort of supporting the patient.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1-7. A traction device for treating cervical spondylosis includes a traction chair 100, a support part 200 installed on the seat of the traction chair 100, and a shoulder support part 300 installed above the seat. The support part 200 includes a slide rod 210 that slides through the armrest of the seat of the traction chair 100. The slide rod 210 has a concave structure. A support plate 220 is fixed to the top of the slide rod 210. A folding rod 240 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the front and rear sides of the slide rod 210. A spring 230 is sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 210. The two ends of the spring 230 are fixed to the bottom of the support plate 220 and the top of the armrest, respectively. A folding frame 250 slides through the left side of the seat of the traction chair 100. The other end of the folding frame 250 extends to the inside of the seat of the traction chair 100 and is fixed with a backrest plate 260. A transmission component 270 is installed between the folding frame 250 and the folding rod 240.

[0022] The transmission component 270 includes a rack plate 271 fixedly connected to the top of the folding rod 240. Gear 272 and gear 274 are rotatably connected to the left side of the seat of the traction chair 100. The surface of gear 272 meshes with rack plate 271, and gear 272 meshes with gear 274. A rack plate 273 is fixed to the bottom of the folding frame 250. The bottom of rack plate 273 meshes with the top of gear 274. As the folding rod 240 moves downward, it also drives rack plate 271 to move together, which in turn drives gear 272 to rotate and drives gear 274 to rotate. At the same time, rack plate 273 and folding frame 250 move to facilitate the movement of the backrest 260 to fit and support the patient's back.

[0023] The shoulder support 300 includes a fixing box 310 fixed to a support frame on the seat frame. A sliding plate 320 slides through the front and rear sides of the right side of the fixing box 310. A movable plate 330 slides through the surface of the sliding plate 320. Several limiting holes are provided on the top of the sliding plate 320. A fastening bolt 380 is threaded to one end of the top of the movable plate 330, and the other end of the fastening bolt 380 passes through the movable plate 330 and engages with the limiting hole. When the movable plate 330 slides on the surface of the sliding plate 320, the fastening bolt 380 can be rotated to fix the moved movable plate 330. The other end of the movable plate 330 is hinged. A hinge plate 340 is connected, and a limit plate 350 is hinged to the other end of the hinge plate 340. The fixed box 310 is equipped with a force-applying component 360 for applying force to push the slide plate 320. After the patient sits on the seat, the distance between the two slide plates 320 can be adjusted according to the position of the patient's shoulders by using the force-applying component 360. Then, the movable plate 330 is moved on the surface of the slide plate 320 to adjust the length. After the adjustment is completed, the hinge plate 340 can be forceped by the sliding component 370 so that the limit plate 350 can be adjusted up and down to facilitate the limitation of the patient's shoulders.

[0024] The force-applying component 360 includes a gear 362 rotatably connected to the middle position inside the fixed box 310. The shaft at the top of the gear 362 extends to the top of the fixed box 310 and is fixed to a rocker arm 361. The rocker arm 361 is internally threaded with a limit bolt 364. The other end of the limit bolt 364 is engaged with the top of the fixed box 310. After the rocker arm 361 is rotated, the limit bolt 364 can be tightened to fix the rotated rocker arm 361. Both sides of the inner cavity of the fixed box 310 are slidably connected to rack plates 363. The opposite sides of the rack plates 363 mesh with the surface of the gear 362. One end of the rack plate 363 is fixed to one end of the slide plate 320. When the slide plates 320 on both sides are moved, the rocker arm 361 can be rotated, which will drive the gear 362 to rotate and move the rack plates 363 on both sides to the opposite side, so as to facilitate the movement of the slide plates 320 together.

[0025] The shoulder support 300 also includes a sliding member 370, which includes a movable block 371 slidably connected to the surface of the movable plate 330. The top of the movable block 371 is threadedly connected to a fixing bolt 374, and the other end of the fixing bolt 374 is used in conjunction with the top of the movable plate 330. This can fix the position of the movable block 371 after it slides, preventing the movable block 371 from sliding arbitrarily. The top of the movable block 371 is hinged to a push rod 372. The top of the hinge plate 340 is fixed to a connecting plate 373. One side of the connecting plate 373 is hinged to the other end of the push rod 372. When the hinge plate 340 is deflected by force, the sliding of the movable block 371 will drive the push rod 372 to apply force, thereby facilitating the pushing of the connecting plate 373 and enabling the hinge plate 340 to deflect at an angle.

[0026] The support unit 200 also includes an expansion member 280, which includes a piston tube 281 fixed to one side of the seat frame of the traction chair 100. A piston rod 282 slides through the inside of the piston tube 281. The other end of the piston rod 282 is fixed to the bottom of the rear folding rod 240. An airbag 284 is fixed to one side of the backrest plate 260. An air outlet pipe 283 connects one side of the airbag 284 and the piston tube 281. As the sliding rod 210 applies downward force, it will also drive the piston rod 282 into the piston tube 281, so that the gas in the piston tube 281 can enter the airbag 284 through the air outlet pipe 283 until the airbag 284 is inflated, thereby improving the comfort of supporting the patient.

[0027] A traction method for treating cervical spondylosis, comprising the following steps: A. When using the method, the patient first sits on the seat of the traction chair 100. Then, depending on the patient's position on the seat, the limit bolt 364 releases the limit on the rocker arm 361. Next, the rocker arm 361 drives the gear 362 to rotate, causing the rack plates 363 on both sides to move to opposite sides. B. Subsequently, depending on the height of the patient's shoulder, the fastening bolt 380 releases the limit on the movable plate 330 and the sliding plate 320, and the position of the movable plate 330 on the sliding plate 320 is adjusted. Then, the fixing bolt 374 is rotated to release the limit on the moving block 371, and the moving block 371 is pushed to move. During movement, force is applied to the push rod 372, causing the hinge plate 340 to deflect, allowing the limit plate 350 to move downwards until it contacts the patient's shoulder. C. Afterwards, medical personnel can move the traction belt to the patient's shoulder. A. The patient places the traction belt around their neck. The turntable can then be rotated to tighten the rope and move the traction belt upwards, thus providing neck stretching therapy. B. After prolonged suspension, if the back is fatigued, the patient can press down on the support plate 220 with both arms, causing the slide bar 210 to move downwards. Simultaneously, the rack plate 271 moves, causing the gear 272 to rotate. This, in turn, causes the gear 274 to rotate, moving the rack plate 273 towards the chair back, and the folding frame 250 and the backrest 260 towards the patient's back, providing support for the waist and back. C. As the slide bar 210 moves downwards, it also moves the piston rod 282 into the piston tube 281, allowing gas in the piston tube 281 to be delivered through the air outlet 283 to the airbag 284 until the airbag 284 inflates, thus improving the comfort of the patient's back support.
