DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiments of the utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the following is a brief introduction to the drawings required for use in the embodiments or the prior art descriptions. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the utility model. For ordinary technicians in this field, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative work. The content of the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the drawings:

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 1 An auxiliary abdominal pressing device comprises an abdominal belt 1 and a pressing component 2. Velcro 11 which can be adhered to each other is fixed at both ends of the abdominal belt 1, and the pressing component 2 can be fixed to the upper abdomen of the patient. One Velcro 11 is arranged on the front side of one end of the abdominal belt 1, and the other Velcro 11 is arranged on the back side of the other end of the abdominal belt 1. The two pressing components 2 are fixed on the left and right sides of the middle part of the back side of the abdominal belt 1. Specifically, the pressing component 2 can be fixed to the back side of the abdominal belt 1 by gluing.

[0025] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 3 , 4 The pressing assembly 2 includes a support seat 21, a motor 22, a rotating shaft 23 and a pressing piece. The support seat 21 is U-shaped as a whole, and the opening of the support seat 21 is against the patient's abdomen. The motor 22 is fixedly installed on the side of the support seat 21, and the rotating shaft 23 is horizontally installed in the support seat 21. The driving shaft of the motor 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 23, and the driving shaft of the motor 22 can drive the rotating shaft 23 to rotate counterclockwise. Two pressing pieces are symmetrically installed on the rotating shaft 23, and the pressing pieces extend out of the opening of the support seat 21. When the rotating shaft 23 rotates counterclockwise, the pressing piece can repeatedly press the patient's abdomen inward and upward to assist the patient in coughing.

[0026] The inventor has considered the individual differences of different patients such as fatness and thinness, and in addition to adjusting the tightness of the abdominal belt 1 through the Velcro 11, for thin patients, if the pressing piece may directly act on the patient's ribs and other parts when pressing, if there is no certain buffer, it may cause damage to the patient's ribs and other parts. Therefore, refer to the attached manual Figure 5 The pressing member includes a connecting block 24, a pressing block 25 and a spring 27. The interior of the pressing block 25 is a cavity structure 251. One end of the connecting block 24 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 23, and the other end extends into the cavity structure 251 through a through hole provided on the pressing block 25, and a limiting flange 241 is provided at this end. The outer size of the limiting flange 241 is larger than the size of the through hole. The limiting flange 241 can prevent the connecting block 24 from being separated from the pressing block 25. Three springs 27 are evenly spaced and installed in the cavity. The spring 27 is in the structure 251, and one end of the spring 27 abuts against the end surface of the limiting flange 241, and the other end abuts against the end wall of the cavity structure 251 (the abutment means that there is a force between the spring 27 and the end surface of the limiting flange 241 and the end wall of the cavity structure 251, and specifically, the two ends of the spring 27 are respectively fixedly connected with the end surface of the limiting flange 241 and the end wall of the cavity structure 251, or the two ends of the spring 27 are respectively abutted against the end surface of the limiting flange 241 and the end wall of the cavity structure 251);

[0027] The initial state of the spring 27 is a stretched state, so that the pressing block 25 is at the farthest position from the rotating shaft 23. When the pressing block 25 contacts the patient's body for pressing, it is subjected to pressure, and the pressing block 25 will squeeze the spring 27 and retract a certain distance. After the pressing block 25 is separated from the patient's body, it is subjected to the rebound force of the spring 27, so that the pressing block 25 returns to its original position. This can not only play the role of pressing the abdomen, but also prevent the pressing block 25 from hard contact with the ribs and other parts to prevent damage.

[0028] At the same time, in order to ensure that the pressing block 25 contacts the patient's body smoothly when moving inward and upward, and to prevent skin damage caused by repeated pressing, the end of the pressing block 25 away from the connecting block 24 is an arcuate surface, and a flexible cushion layer is fixed on the arcuate surface. The flexible cushion layer can be a silicone pad, a rubber pad or an EVA foam pad.

[0029] The inventor found that after the abdominal belt 1 is fixed, the opening of the support seat 21 is against the patient's abdomen, and the ends of the opening of the support seat 21 are in direct contact with the patient's body, which may compress the patient's local skin, which may cause pressure damage to the skin. Figure 3 , 46. The pressing assembly 2 also includes a decompression member 26, which includes a long strip-shaped sleeve block 261 and a decompression pad 262. The decompression pad 262 is fixed to the bottom end of the sleeve block 261. The length and width of the decompression pad 262 are greater than the length and width of the sleeve block 261. The sleeve block 261 is provided with a sleeve groove 263 which can be sleeved on the end of the support seat 21 in contact with the patient; the decompression pad 262 is made of soft materials such as silicone, rubber or sponge.

[0030] After the pressure relief member 26 is installed at the end of the support seat 21 that contacts the patient, and after the abdominal belt 1 is fixed, pressure relief pads 262 are placed between the ends of the opening of the support seat 21 and the patient's body, thereby increasing the contact area between the ends of the opening of the support seat 21 and the body, thereby preventing the formation of pressure injuries to the skin.

[0031] Refer to the instruction manual Figure 2 The abdominal auxiliary pressing device also includes a mobile power supply 3 and a controller 4. A storage bag 12 for storing the mobile power supply 3 is arranged on the front of the abdominal belt 1. The controller 4 is fixedly arranged on the front of the abdominal belt 1. A switch, a speed regulator, a timer and a display screen can be integrated on the controller 4. The switch is used to control the opening and closing of the motor 22. The speed regulator can adjust the speed of the motor 22. The timer can set the timing opening and closing of each abdominal compression and the compression duration. The display screen can display information such as the speed of the motor 22, the timing opening and closing time, and the compression duration.

[0032] The controller 4 is connected to a power cord and a conductor, and a USB interface is provided at the other end of the power cord. The USB interface can be detachably plugged into the mobile power supply 3. The mobile power supply is stored in the storage bag 12, and the mobile power supply can be conveniently taken out for charging. The conductor is hidden in the belly belt 1 to prevent being entangled, and the other end thereof extends out of the belly belt 1 from the back side of the belly belt 1 and is electrically connected to the motor 22.

[0033] In order to improve comfort and provide auxiliary support for the abdomen, refer to the instructions. Figure 1 , 2 The abdominal auxiliary pressing device also includes a buffer block 5 fixedly arranged in the middle of the back of the abdominal belt 1, and a receiving groove for receiving the pressing component 2 is opened on the buffer block 5. The buffer block 5 is a silicone block, a rubber block, a sponge block, etc.;

[0034] After the abdominal belt 1 is fixed, the opening of the support seat 21 rests against the patient's abdomen, and the ends of the opening of the support seat 21 are in direct contact with the patient's body. At this time, the buffer block 5 assists in supporting the skin around the support seat 21 to improve comfort, and can also buffer part of the vibration caused by the rotation of the motor 22.

[0035] In order to hide the pressing component 2 as a whole and beautify the appearance, a layer of partition is set between the pressing component 2 and the patient. Referring to the existing massage belt, the massage component is set in the soft bag body. Therefore, refer to the attached manual. Figure 7 The abdominal auxiliary pressing device also includes a covering layer 6 fixedly arranged on the middle part of the back of the abdominal belt 1, and the pressing component 2 is located in the space formed between the covering layer 6 and the abdominal belt 1; the covering layer 6 can be made of flexible fabrics such as Lycra fabric, skin-friendly fabric or Xinhao cotton material.

[0036] The method of using the abdominal auxiliary pressing device in the present patent is as follows: wrap the abdominal belt 1 around the patient's upper abdomen and fix it with Velcro 11, so that the two pressing components 2 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the patient's upper abdomen, and set the pressing time and the speed of the motor 22 through the controller 4 (for example, each pressing time lasts for 10 minutes, and the speed of the motor 22 is 10 seconds or 20 seconds to rotate once), etc., and turn on the motor 22 through the controller 4, the motor drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate counterclockwise, and the pressing block 25 rotates counterclockwise with the rotating shaft 23. When the pressing block 25 contacts the patient's body for pressing, it is subjected to pressure, and the pressing block 25 will The squeezing spring 27 retracts a certain distance, and after the pressing block 25 is separated from the patient's body, the pressing block 25 is returned to its original position by the rebound force of the spring 27, and the patient's abdomen is repeatedly and continuously pressed inward and upward, and the diaphragm is pushed upward to strengthen the rebound force of the diaphragm, increase the abdominal pressure, and require the patient to cough synchronously to enhance the patient's coughing force, so as to perform effective coughing, promote the discharge of sputum, make the respiratory tract unobstructed, and reduce the chance of lung infection; the patient uses the abdominal auxiliary pressing device to perform the above-mentioned abdominal auxiliary pressing at least three times a day to assist coughing, and the pressing time for each time can be controlled to about 10 minutes;

[0037] At the same time, the patient can use the abdominal auxiliary compression device when the patient's condition is stable, provided that rib fractures, damage to the spleen, liver, lungs, etc. are excluded.

[0038] Obviously, modifications and / or additions of components can be made to the above-mentioned abdominal auxiliary pressing device and the corresponding method without departing from the field and scope of the present invention.

[0039] It is also clear that although the present invention has described the abdominal auxiliary pressing device in detail, those skilled in the art will certainly be able to obtain many other equivalent forms of abdominal auxiliary pressing devices and corresponding methods, which have the characteristics as described in the claims and are therefore within the scope of the protection field defined thereby.
