DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The utility model discloses a Chinese medicine hot compress device for spinal rehabilitation, comprising: an end assembly, an external spinal joint, and a movable hot compress mechanism; the end assembly comprises a spinal head 301 and a spinal tail 801, the spinal head 301 and the spinal tail 801 are connected at two ends of the external spinal joint, and are symmetrical about the external spinal joint; the external spinal joint is connected into a long strip by a plurality of spinal joints 9; suction cups 1 are arranged on both sides of the spinal joint 9, and an elastic element is arranged at the rear end of the suction cup 1 for connection; an upper pulley 3 and a lower pulley 8 are protrudingly arranged at the middle of the inner side surface of the spinal head 301 and the spinal tail 801; the movable hot compress mechanism is connected at both ends of the pulley; the movable hot compress mechanism can be moved up and down by the upper pulley 3 and the lower pulley 8;

[0028] Example 1

[0029] In this embodiment, a connecting mechanism 11 is symmetrically arranged at the middle of the outer side of the spinal joint 9, and the connecting mechanism 11 is connected to the retractable belt 2, and the end of the retractable belt 2 is provided with a Velcro 4; the specific connection method of the connecting mechanism 11 is as follows Figure 5 As shown, the mechanism is connected and fixed by the curved elastic elements 12 on both sides cooperating with the lock buckle 13 at the front end of the elastic element; the distance between the two sides of the curved elastic element 12 connected to one end of the telescopic belt 2 is greater than the diameter of the elastic connection mechanism 6, and the elastic connection mechanism 6 can directly pass through the middle of the curved elastic element 12; then the telescopic belt 2 is continuously pulled, so that the curved elastic element 12 expands to both sides due to the squeezing effect of the elastic connection mechanism 6, and then the elastic connector enters the position of the lock buckle 13 to complete the locking,

[0030] In this embodiment, the retractable belt 2 can be adjusted to any position, and can be reasonably adjusted according to the tightness of different positions. The device can be fixed for use by using the Velcro 4 at the end of the retractable belt 2.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] In this embodiment, an airbag 501 is fixedly provided on the side of the spinal joint 9, and an airbag inflation tube 5 is provided on the outer side, and the airbag inflation tube 5 passes through the spinal joint 9 and is connected with the airbag 501; a one-way valve is provided in the airbag inflation tube 5; inflating the airbag 501 through the airbag inflation tube 5 can make the hot compress bag 10 closer to the user's skin, forming a better hot compress effect; and each spinal joint 9 has a corresponding airbag 501 and airbag inflation tube 5, which can be pressurized on each joint in a targeted manner, so that the hot compress can be closer to the human skin, and the principle of inflating the airbag 501 can reasonably adjust the user range of the airbag 501 compared to other pressurization methods, thereby having a larger range of adaptability.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] In the present embodiment, the connection mode of the spinal joint 9 is that the tail end of the previous spinal bone joint is connected to the head end of the next spinal joint 9 through a detachable rotating shaft 21; the tail end of the spinal joint is provided with an arc groove 20 with a certain curvature, and the arc blocks 22 on both sides of the shoulders of the head end of the spinal joint can rotate within a certain range along the arc groove 20; in the present embodiment, through the mutual cooperation and limiting effect of the arc groove 20 and the arc block 22, the spinal external joint can move within a certain angle range. When the range of movement is exceeded, due to the limiting effect of the arc groove 20 and the arc block 22, the spine will no longer move, that is, it is in a stuck state. In this way, during the use of the patient, no matter what body position the patient is in, the spinal external joint will not be detached from the patient's spine, and the same distance can always be maintained, which has a continuous hot compress effect; the movable range between the arc groove 20 and the arc plate 22 is between 0° and 25°.

[0035] Example 4

[0036] In this embodiment, the movable hot compress mechanism includes a hot compress bag 10 and a belt 7, and the belt 7 is composed of two parallel belt slides wrapped around a pulley; one end of the hot compress bag 10 is fixedly connected to one of the belt slides, and the other end is a hollow prism and another belt 1 passes through the hollow prism 15, and the hot compress bag 10 can be made to slide up and down along the belt 7 by rotating the pulley; the hot compress bag 10 and the belt 7 described in this embodiment are fixed at one end and connected at the other end, and the fixed end is to allow the hot compress bag 10 to be relatively fixed with the belt 7, so that the hot compress bag 10 can move with the belt during the rotation of the pulley; if the two ends are fixed, then during the movement of the belt 7, one end moves up and the other end moves down, and there will be a situation where the hot compress bag 10 Tear; before using the belt in this embodiment, there is another implementation method; that is, a slide rail of the same length as the spinal joint 9 is provided on each spinal joint, and the slide rail and the hot compress bag 10 cooperate to achieve up and down movement; however, in actual application, using this method, due to the large rigidity of the slide rail, when sliding, there will be a situation where the slide cannot slide, and the spine cannot bend greatly. Such a design will limit the range of motion of the spine and fail to achieve the desired technical effect; therefore, a soft belt is used. No matter what the user's body posture is, the belt 7 is elastic, so the pulley can drive the belt to move during rotation.

[0037] Example 5

[0038] In this embodiment, the hot compress bag 10 has a hollow structure and a linear array of mesh holes 19 on the inner side; the middle portion of the outer side of the hot compress bag 10 is designed to be open and closed by an opening and closing mechanism 18; the hot compress bag 10 is opened and closed by the linear array of mesh holes 19 on the inner side and in cooperation with the opening and closing mechanism 18; medicines for hot compress are loaded into the hot compress bag 10, and after the medicines are loaded, they pass through the mesh holes 19 on the inner side through the opening and closing mechanism 18, so that the medicines for hot compress can pass through the mesh holes 19 and touch the skin, thereby achieving the desired effect.

[0039] Example 6

[0040] In this embodiment, the inner side of the extra-spinal joint is arc-shaped, which fits the biological anatomical structure of the human spine; designing the extra-spinal joint to be arc-shaped can make it more comfortable for patients to use without causing any conflict.

[0041] The use process of the utility model is as follows: after preparing the medicine for hot compress, the medicine is placed in the hot compress bag through the opening and closing mechanism; the opening and closing mechanism is closed, and then the whole device is aligned with the position of the spine, and firstly, it is adsorbed on the surface of human skin with a suction cup. After this step is completed, the pulley is rotated to drive the hot compress bag to move through the transmission of the belt, so that the hot compress belt can be accurately placed at the position of the pain point; after the placement is completed, the external spinal joint is fixed again by the telescopic belt and the Velcro on the telescopic belt; after the fixation is completed, if the hot compress bag cannot be well attached to the skin, at this time, the airbag is inflated into the airbag through the airbag inflation tube, so that the pressure brought by the expansion after inflation pushes the hot compress bag to make it better attached to the skin, and the hot compress can be started after it is adjusted to a suitable position; after the hot compress is completed, it can be removed in the reverse order of the above steps.

[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are only used to help explain the present invention. The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the present invention to the specific implementation methods described.
