Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a special ultrasonic physical therapy device for knee joints, belonging to the technical field of physical therapy equipment. Background Art

[0002] Currently, low-intensity ultrasound is widely used in the rehabilitation treatment of musculoskeletal diseases, and a large number of previous studies have shown that low-intensity ultrasound has a good effect in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. However, most of the medical low-intensity ultrasound physiotherapy devices currently used in clinical practice are split structures, that is, they are composed of a host, a connecting line and an ultrasound probe, and the ultrasound probe is mostly flat or elliptical (reference Figure 3 ).

[0003] However, its usage scenarios are limited, its portability is poor, and medical staff need to hold the ultrasound probe for a long time, which is inconvenient. Now there is an urgent need for a knee joint-specific ultrasound therapy device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a special ultrasonic therapy device for the knee joint to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology. The utility model has a reasonable structure and good practicality. It adopts ergonomic design to better fit the human knee joint. It is highly portable and easy to use in multiple scenarios. Medical staff do not need to hold the ultrasonic probe for a long time, which facilitates them to perform other operations.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model is realized through the following technical scheme: a special ultrasonic physiotherapy device for knee joint, comprising a thigh protector, a calf protector, a small hinge and a fitted ultrasonic probe, wherein three fitted ultrasonic probes are provided, and probe mounting plates are fixed on the upper ends of the three fitted ultrasonic probes, a host module and a battery compartment are installed on the upper end of the thigh protector, a Velcro is provided on the lower side of the front end of the thigh protector, a thigh elastic cloth belt is provided on the lower end of the thigh protector, the lower ends of the left and right probe mounting plates are connected to the calf protector through a connecting cloth plate, and a calf elastic cloth belt is provided on the rear side of the calf protector.

[0006] Furthermore, the three probe mounting plates are movably connected via a small hinge.

[0007] Furthermore, the host module is connected to the three fitted ultrasound probes via wires.

[0008] Furthermore, an arc-shaped groove is provided at the lower side of the front end of the calf protector, and a transparent plastic sheet is provided at the arc-shaped groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the calf elastic band and the thigh elastic band are both made of the same elastic non-woven fabric.

[0010] Furthermore, elastic cotton layers are provided on the inner sides of the thigh protector and the calf protector.

[0011] Beneficial effects of the utility model: The utility model is a special ultrasonic therapy device for knee joints. Because the utility model adds thigh protectors, host modules, thigh elastic cloth belts, fitted ultrasonic probes, probe mounting plates, small hinges, calf protectors, calf elastic cloth belts and battery compartments, our design improvements and actual use show that compared with traditional ultrasonic therapeutic devices, the design innovations of this device are as follows:

[0012] 1: The ultrasonic probe is ergonomically designed to better fit the human knee joint;

[0013] 2: The multi-piece ultrasound probe design with a hinge structure is suitable for people with different leg shapes;

[0014] 3: Battery-powered, the host and sound head are integrated into one, which greatly increases the portability and multi-scenario practicality. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0021] See also Figure 1-Figure 3The utility model provides a technical solution: a special ultrasonic physiotherapy device for knee joint, comprising a thigh protector 1, a calf protector 9, a small hinge 6 and a fitted ultrasonic probe 4, three fitted ultrasonic probes 4 are provided, and probe mounting plates 5 are fixed on the upper ends of the three fitted ultrasonic probes 4, a host module 2 and a battery compartment 12 are installed on the upper end of the thigh protector 1, a Velcro 7 is provided on the lower side of the front end of the thigh protector 1, a thigh elastic cloth belt 3 is provided on the lower end of the thigh protector 1, the lower ends of the left and right probe mounting plates 5 are connected to the calf protector 9 through a connecting cloth piece 8, and a calf elastic cloth belt 10 is provided on the rear side of the calf protector 9. This design solves the problems that the original physiotherapy equipment has a single usage scenario, poor portability, and requires medical staff to hold the ultrasonic probe for a long time, which is inconvenient.

[0022] As the first embodiment of the utility model: the three probe mounting pieces 5 are movably connected by a small hinge 6. The added small hinge 6 facilitates the movably connected three probe mounting pieces 5, so that the three fitted ultrasound probes 4 can be adjusted in angle, and can be better fitted to the patient's knee joint for ultrasound therapy. The host module 2 is connected to the three fitted ultrasound probes 4 by wires, and an arc groove is provided on the lower front end of the calf protector 9, and a transparent plastic sheet 11 is provided at the arc groove. The added calf protector 9 can be installed on the patient's calf, and the thigh protector 1 can be installed on the patient's thigh, so that the three fitted ultrasound probes 4 will not loosen or fall off after installation.

[0023] The calf elastic band 10 and the thigh elastic band 3 are both made of the same elastic non-woven fabric. By adding the calf elastic band 10 and the thigh elastic band 3, it is more convenient to install the calf brace 9 on the patient's calf and the thigh brace 1 on the patient's thigh. The inner sides of the thigh brace 1 and the calf brace 9 are both provided with an elastic cotton layer. By adding the elastic cotton layer, when the calf brace 9 is installed on the patient's calf and the thigh brace 1 is installed on the patient's thigh brace, the patient can be more comfortable.

[0024] As the second embodiment of the utility model: when performing ultrasonic physiotherapy on the patient's knee joint, the calf protector 9 is installed on the patient's calf, and the thigh protector 1 is installed on the patient's thigh protector. The added elastic cotton layer can make the patient more comfortable. The calf elastic cloth belt 10 and the thigh elastic cloth belt 3 are both made of the same elastic non-woven fabric, which can prevent the thigh protector 1 and the calf protector 9 from falling off. Then, the two small hinges 6 are adjusted to a suitable angle until the three fitted ultrasonic probes 4 are all fitted on the patient's knee joint. The three fitted ultrasonic probes 4 can be controlled by the host module 2 to perform ultrasonic physiotherapy.

[0025] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the utility model and the advantages of the utility model. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the utility model. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the utility model is defined by the attached claims rather than the above description, and it is intended to include all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims. Any figure mark in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.

[0026] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
