DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0028] Example:
[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a surgical nursing neck brace comprises an elastic support body 6, which is an annular open structure, and air bags 5 of an annular open structure are fixedly arranged on the upper and lower sides of the elastic support body 6, and a massage mechanism 7 is arranged on the inner rear side of the elastic support body 6, and a Y-shaped connecting hose 4 is sealed and connected to the left side of the ring surface of the air bag 5, and the connecting hose 4 is connected to the inflation hose 2 through a quick connector 3, and the end of the inflation hose 2 is connected to the output end of the electric inflation pump 1. This design solves the problem that when the existing inflatable neck brace is worn, the inflated neck brace is in close contact with the skin of the neck, which will restrict air circulation and have poor air permeability, causing sweating or discomfort in the wearing area, causing allergies, itching or pain on the skin of the neck, etc., especially in hot weather or when worn for a long time. Long-term use of the neck brace may lead to atrophy of the neck muscles because the neck brace assumes part of the supporting function that was originally required to be borne by the muscles, resulting in neck stiffness and affecting blood circulation.
[0030] The elastic support body 6 is composed of a rigid foam plastic and a textile outer lining, wherein the rigid foam plastic is filled inside the textile outer lining. As the core material of the support body, the rigid foam plastic has excellent supporting performance, can provide a stable supporting force, help maintain the correct posture of the neck, and reduce the pressure on the neck. The rigid foam plastic also has good durability and compression resistance, can maintain its shape and supporting performance for a long time, and ensure the stability and reliability of the neck support during use. The textile outer lining is wrapped around the outside of the rigid foam plastic, providing the user with a soft touch and increasing the comfort of wearing. The textile cloth material usually has good air permeability and hygroscopicity, which helps to reduce the stuffiness and sweaty feeling generated when wearing the neck support, and improves the user's experience.
[0031] The elastic support body 6 has multiple groups of circular air holes 61 on both sides of the ring surface, and the inner sides of the airbags 5 on the upper and lower sides are provided with guide grooves 51 with arc-shaped concave structures, and the guide grooves 51 correspond to the positions of the air holes 61. The air holes 61 and the guide grooves 51 can promote air circulation, thereby providing better ventilation effect, reducing close contact with the neck skin, helping to reduce neck sweating, and improving the wearing comfort of the user.
[0032] A hook-surface Velcro 62 is provided on the left ring surface of the opening of the elastic support body 6, and a fleece-surface Velcro 63 is fixed on the right ring surface. The hook-surface Velcro 62 can be connected by adhesive bonding with the fleece-surface Velcro 63. Through the Velcro adhesive connection, the user can adjust the tightness of the entire device according to personal needs and comfort. The Velcro connection method is simple and fast, and is convenient for users to operate and adjust by themselves.
[0033] The massage mechanism 7 includes a push plate 71, a massage short rod 72, a box body 73, an embedding groove 74, a support assembly 75, a drive motor 76, a cam 77, a cross connecting rod 79 and a through groove 710. A through groove 710 is provided on the rear side of the elastic support body 6, and an embedding groove 74 is provided on the rear side of the inner surface of the elastic support body 6, and the embedding groove 74 is connected to the through groove 710. A box body 73 is provided on the rear side of the annular surface of the elastic support body 6, and the box body 73 is connected to the through groove 710. An arc-shaped push plate 71 is embedded in the embedding groove 74, and a plurality of groups of massage short rods 72 are evenly fixed on the surface of the push plate 71. Two groups of support assemblies 75 are symmetrically arranged at the connection between the push plate 71 and the box body 73. A drive motor 76 is fixed to the inside of the box body 73 through a bracket 761. An elliptical cam 77 is assembled on the output end of the drive motor 76, and the cam 77 is connected to the push plate 71 through an X-structured cross connecting rod 79. The massage mechanism 7 can provide massage for the neck muscles during wearing, promote blood circulation, relieve muscle fatigue and stiffness, help prevent neck muscle atrophy, and improve wearing comfort. When the drive motor 76 is started, the cam 77 is driven to rotate, and the cam 77 is connected to the push plate 71 through the cross link 79, converting the rotational motion into the telescopic motion of the cross link 79, thereby driving the push plate 71 to perform linear reciprocating motion, and the massage short rod 72 on the push plate 71 moves accordingly to massage the neck.
[0034] An elliptical slide groove 78 is provided near the edge of the front surface of the cam 77. A slider is fixed at the rear end of the cross link 79, and the slider is inserted into the slide groove 78 and slidably connected with it. The front end of the cross link 79 is movably connected with the push plate 71 through a hinge 791. The slider can ensure that the cross link 79 is always stably connected with the slide groove 78, so that the cross link 79 can reciprocate in the slide groove 78 with the rotation of the cam 77, ensuring that the cross link 79 can slide smoothly in the slide groove 78 during the movement. At the same time, the hinge 791 allows the push plate 71 to move flexibly under the push of the cross link 79, while ensuring the stability and reliability of the movement. When the driving motor 76 drives the cam 77 to rotate, the elliptical slide groove 78 on the cam 77 will guide the slider at the rear end of the cross link 79 to slide. The cross link 79 performs cross telescopic motion under the guidance of the slider and the slide slot 78, and transmits the power of the cross link 79 to the push plate 71 through the hinge 791 at the front end, thereby pushing the push plate 71 to reciprocate. The reciprocating motion of the push plate 71 is finally converted into the massage action of the massage short stick 72, thereby achieving the massage function.
[0035] The support assembly 75 is composed of a support rod 751, a fixing plate 752, a compression spring 753 and a baffle 754. The fixing plate 752 is fixedly arranged inside the box body 73. The support rod 751 penetrates the fixing plate 752, and its front end is fixedly connected to the push plate 71. The rear end of the support rod 751 is fixedly provided with a baffle 754, and the support rod 751 in the area between the baffle 754 and the fixing plate 752 is sleeved with a compression spring 753. The support assembly 75 mainly plays the role of supporting, guiding, limiting and resetting in the massage mechanism 7, which can not only ensure the stable movement of the push plate 71, but also generate a reverse thrust on the push plate 71, thereby prompting the slider at the rear end of the cross link 79 to always be located in the slide groove 78 of the cam 77, ensuring the stable connection between the push plate 71, the cross link 79 and the cam 77.
[0036] An exhaust valve 52 is mounted on the outer side of the upper airbag 5, and the gas pressure in the airbag 5 can be adjusted and controlled by the exhaust valve 52. When the airbag 5 pressure needs to be deflated to reduce pressure, the exhaust valve 52 can be operated to achieve this.
[0037] The working principle of this surgical nursing neck brace is as follows: the user first wraps the neck brace around the neck to ensure that the elastic support body 6 is located in the correct position of the neck. Use the hook-surface Velcro 62 and the fleece-surface Velcro 63 to paste and connect, and adjust the tightness according to personal comfort. Then connect the connecting hose 4 to the inflatable hose 2 on the electric air pump 1 through the quick connector 3, and start the electric air pump 1 to inflate the airbag 5 so that the airbag 5 generates appropriate pressure. The elastic support body 6 and the inflated airbag 5 can provide support to the neck to fix the head and neck, which is helpful for postoperative recovery. The air vent 61 on the elastic support body 6 and the guide groove 51 on the inner side of the airbag 5 can jointly promote air circulation, reduce neck sweating, and improve wearing comfort. However, when massage is needed, start the drive motor 76 and the massage mechanism 7 starts to work. The drive motor 76 drives the cam 77 to rotate, and the rotational motion is converted into the linear reciprocating motion of the push plate 71 through the mechanical linkage of the cross link 79 and the slider. The massage stick 72 on the push plate 71 then massages the neck to promote blood circulation and relieve muscle fatigue.
