Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of spinal column adjustment, in particular to an adaptive mechanism, an adjustment component and a scoliosis orthosis. Background Art

[0002] The spine is the axial skeleton of the human body and the pillar of the body. It has the functions of weight bearing, shock absorption, protection and movement. The spine of a normal person is straight when viewed from the back or front. If the spine deviates from the central axis to the left or right, it is called scoliosis or scoliosis. Orthotic correction is the most important and reliable non-surgical treatment for scoliosis. CN110037842A also discloses a thoracolumbar traction orthotic fixator, in which an adjustment component is provided between the upper brace and the lower brace, and its length is adjustable, but the adjustment component cannot be adjusted between the upper brace or the lower brace. The above-mentioned corrector cannot be adaptively adjusted according to the patient's body. During the use of the patient, the correction process often feels uncomfortable and has poor versatility. Due to the long spine and different body shapes of patients, the use of scoliosis orthotics generally requires customization, which is not only expensive, but also cannot be used by the next patient after use, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0003] Therefore, the prior art lacks a scoliosis orthosis that can be adaptively adjusted. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the defect of the prior art that there is a lack of a scoliosis orthosis that can adapt to the patient's body for adjustment, and to provide an adaptive mechanism, an adjustment component and a scoliosis orthosis.

[0005] The utility model solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A scoliosis orthosis, comprising a brace, an adjustment assembly and a connector; the brace and the adjustment assembly are connected via the connector, the connector can rotate relative to the brace in a first plane, and the connector can rotate relative to the adjustment assembly in a second plane;

[0007] Wherein, the first plane and the second plane have an included angle.

[0008] In this solution, through the design of the connecting piece, the brace and the adjustment component can be rotated in the first plane and the second plane respectively, so that the brace can better adapt to the patient's scoliosis condition, realize the adaptive adjustment of the scoliosis orthosis relative to the patient's body, and improve the correction effect and comfort. The design of the angle is to ensure that the scoliosis orthosis can cover more angles and directions when adjusting, so as to more comprehensively adapt to the scoliosis conditions of different patients, improve the adaptability and flexibility of the scoliosis orthosis, and thus improve the correction effect.

[0009] Preferably, the first plane and the second plane are perpendicular to each other.

[0010] In this solution, the two planes are perpendicular to each other so that the connector can rotate freely in one direction without affecting the rotation in the other direction; the independent adjustment of the connector in the two planes allows the scoliosis orthosis to be adjusted in a single direction. The brace and the adjustment component can also rotate in conjunction in two perpendicular planes, thereby achieving more accurate and effective scoliosis orthosis adjustment.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting member includes a first rotating portion and a second rotating portion, and the support is rotatably connected to the first rotating portion so that the connecting member rotates within the first plane relative to the support; the adjusting component is rotatably connected to the second rotating portion so that the connecting member rotates within the second plane relative to the adjusting component.

[0012] In the present scheme, the rotatable connection between the brace and the first rotating part enables the connecting piece to rotate freely in the first plane, so that the angle and position of the connecting piece can be adjusted according to the patient's scoliosis condition, thereby ensuring that the orthosis can provide stable support and corrective force; the rotatable connection between the adjustment component and the second rotating part enables the connecting piece to rotate freely in the second plane, further enhancing the flexibility of the orthosis, so that the doctor or patient can fine-tune the scoliosis orthosis as needed to better adapt to the patient's body shape and corrective needs; in addition, the spinal orthosis can be adjusted by simultaneously adjusting the rotation angle and position of the connecting piece in two planes, thereby improving the corrective effect.

[0013] Preferably, the connecting member further comprises a main body portion, the first rotating portion comprises a first through hole and a first rotating rod, and the first through hole is arranged on the main body portion;

[0014] One end of the first rotating rod is fixedly connected to the bracket, and the other end of the first rotating rod is rotatably connected to the first through hole;

[0015] Alternatively, the first rotating rod and the first through hole are fixedly connected, and the first rotating rod and the bracket are rotatably connected.

[0016] In the present solution, the above two designs can both realize the rotatable connection between the main body and the brace through the action of the first rotating rod, and realize the rotation of the brace in the first plane; improve the adaptability and flexibility of the scoliosis orthosis, make the adjustment more convenient and accurate, thereby improving the treatment effect and the patient's comfort; in addition, the first rotating rod can provide sufficient strength for the rotation of the brace and the main body, and the main body applies a force to the brace through the first rotating rod.

[0017] Preferably, the connecting member further comprises a main body portion, the second rotating portion comprises a second through hole and a second rotating rod, and the second through hole is arranged on the main body portion;

[0018] One end of the second rotating rod is rotatable in the second through hole, and the other end of the second rotating rod is fixedly connected to the adjusting assembly;

[0019] Alternatively, one end of the second rotating rod is fixedly connected to the second through hole, and the other end of the second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the adjusting assembly.

[0020] In the present solution, the above two designs can also realize the rotation of the adjustment component in the second plane; this design can improve the adaptability and flexibility of the orthosis, making the adjustment more convenient and precise, thereby improving the treatment effect and patient comfort. In addition, the second rotating rod can provide sufficient strength for the rotation of the adjustment component and the main body, and the adjustment component can apply a force to the main body through the second rotating rod.

[0021] Preferably, a mounting boss is provided on the support, one end of the first rotating rod is fixedly connected to the mounting boss, and the other end of the first rotating rod is rotatably connected to the first through hole; or,

[0022] One end of the first rotating rod is rotatably connected to the mounting boss, and the other end of the first rotating rod is fixedly connected to the first through hole.

[0023] In this solution, the mounting boss provides a stable support point to ensure that the connection between the brace and the connecting member is firm and reliable, thereby allowing the connecting member to be adjusted relative to the brace in the first plane to adapt to the patient's scoliosis. This design improves the adaptability and flexibility of the orthosis, allowing doctors or patients to more conveniently adjust the angle and position of the orthosis to meet personalized orthopedic needs.

[0024] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes an active member and a driven member, the active member is connected to the driven member, one end of the second rotating rod is fixedly connected to the driven member, and the other end of the second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the second through hole; or,

[0025] One end of the second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the driven member, and the other end of the second rotating rod is fixedly connected to the second through hole.

[0026] In this solution, the above two designs can make the adjustment component rotate relative to the connecting member, which improves the adaptability and flexibility of the scoliosis orthosis and helps to achieve a more precise correction effect. At the same time, through the connection between the active member and the driven member, the doctor or the patient can easily operate the adjustment component to achieve precise adjustment of the adjustment component relative to the connecting member.

[0027] Preferably, the connecting member is U-shaped, and the second through hole is arranged on two opposite sides of the U-shape; the first through hole is arranged at the bottom of the U-shape, and the axis of the second through hole is perpendicular to the axis of the first through hole.

[0028] In this solution, the second through hole and the first through hole are respectively arranged on both sides and the bottom of the U-shape, so as to facilitate adjusting the angle and position of the connecting piece through the second rotating rod and / or the first rotating rod, thereby improving the adaptability and flexibility of the orthosis. By arranging the second through hole and the first through hole to be perpendicular to each other, the stress applied to the connecting piece can be dispersed, reducing the risk of stress concentration, helping to extend the service life of the orthosis and reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0029] Preferably, the brace includes an upper brace and a lower brace, one end of the adjustment component is connected to one of the upper brace or the lower brace through the connecting member, and the other end of the adjustment component is connected to the other of the upper brace and the lower brace through another connecting member.

[0030] In this solution, the adjustment component is combined with the upper main brace and the lower brace to ensure that the scoliosis orthosis is provided with an upper brace and a lower brace at the corresponding positions of the upper and lower parts of the adjustment part of the spine, and the upper brace and the lower brace provide uniform support and correction force; this design can effectively disperse the pressure applied to the spine, reduce unnecessary stress concentration, and thus reduce the patient's discomfort. By adjusting the angle and / or position of the adjustment component, the point of action and strength of the scoliosis orthosis on the spine can be changed, thereby achieving a more precise correction effect, so that the scoliosis orthosis can adapt to the spine morphology and correction needs of different patients, and improve the adaptability and treatment effect of the orthosis.

[0031] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes an active member and at least one driven member, wherein the driven member is connected to the active member and moves under the action of the active member, and the driven member is connected to the upper support or the lower support through the connecting member.

[0032] In this solution, by adjusting the active member, the doctor or patient can directly control the position and angle of the driven member, thereby adjusting the overall shape and supporting force of the scoliosis orthosis. The adjustment process is more intuitive and simple, which improves the adaptability and flexibility of the scoliosis orthosis. At least one follower is connected to the connecting member to provide support and corrective force at multiple points, thereby more evenly dispersing the force applied to the spine, reducing stress concentration and discomfort, and improving the corrective effect.

[0033] Preferably, the active member drives the driven members located at both ends of the active member to move synchronously; or,

[0034] The active member drives the driven member located at either end of the active member to move, and the driven member located at the other end of the active member is fixed relative to the active member.

[0035] In this scheme, the movement of the active member will directly cause the driven members at both ends to move in opposite directions at the same speed, improving the stability and efficiency of the system. Because the movement of the two driven members is synchronized, the relative position between them remains unchanged, which helps to reduce errors.

[0036] If the movement of the active member only affects the driven member at one end, while the driven member at the other end remains stationary, a larger adjustment range is provided for the driven member, and the driven member can be selectively driven as needed; in addition, compared with the synchronous drive of two synchronizers, energy loss and mechanical wear are reduced.

[0037] Preferably, the follower is detachably connected to the upper support or the lower support via the connecting member.

[0038] In this solution, the connecting member and the driven member are detachably connected, so that the adjustment component can be removed from the upper brace or the lower brace separately. The detachable connection of the adjustment component relative to the connecting member and the adaptive adjustment of the connecting member itself enable the adjustment component to better adapt to the scoliosis of the patient, realize the adaptive adjustment of the scoliosis orthosis relative to the patient's body, and improve the correction effect and comfort.

[0039] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes one of a gear rack mechanism and a screw nut mechanism.

[0040] In this solution, the gear rack mechanism has high transmission efficiency, can achieve fast response and adjustment, has high structural strength and rigidity, and can withstand large loads; the screw-nut mechanism can achieve high-precision positioning and linear motion, and can achieve precise control. The matching relationship between the screw and the nut enables the mechanism to achieve smooth and continuous motion. In addition, the screw-nut mechanism also has a self-locking function, which is convenient for intermittent debugging during use.

[0041] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a left-hand screw, a left-hand nut and a right-hand nut.

[0042] The left-handed rod part of the left-handed screw rod is sleeved with a left-handed nut, and the right-handed rod part of the left-handed screw rod is sleeved with a right-handed nut, one of the left-handed nut or the right-handed nut is connected to the second rotating rod near the upper support, and the other of the left-handed nut or the right-handed nut is connected to the second rotating rod near the lower support.

[0043] In this solution, due to the design of the left-handed screw, when the screw rotates, the left-handed nut and the right-handed nut will move in opposite directions respectively. This design enables the adjustment component to simultaneously control the second rotating rods in two different positions, thereby achieving bidirectional or symmetrical adjustment; in addition, the movement of the two nuts is synchronous, that is, they move in opposite directions at the same speed. It is ensured that the relative position relationship between the two second rotating rods connected to the adjustment component remains constant, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the system.

[0044] Preferably, the scoliosis orthosis comprises at least three adjustment components, and the at least three adjustment components are arranged on the upper brace and the lower brace along the circumference of the human body.

[0045] In this solution, multiple adjustment components are arranged in a surrounding manner to provide full-range and all-angle adjustment capabilities; they can adapt to scoliosis in different parts and directions, and by adjusting each component independently, a more precise and personalized correction effect can be achieved. In addition, the synergistic effect of multiple adjustment components can enhance the overall stability of the scoliosis orthosis. By dispersing the support points and adjustment points, the orthosis can be more evenly distributed around the spine, reducing single-point force, thereby reducing the wearer's discomfort and improving the correction effect.

[0046] Preferably, the upper brace is arranged on the thorax of a human body; and / or,

[0047] The lower brace is arranged on the ilium below the waist of the human body.

[0048] In this solution, the thorax, as an important structure of the human body, has a relatively stable shape and position. Fixing the upper brace at this position can ensure the stability and reliability of the scoliosis orthosis and prevent loosening or displacement during daily activities or exercise. The thorax is an important support point of the spine and is closely connected to the spine. By setting an upper brace on the thorax, a corrective force can be directly applied to the spine, which can effectively improve the scoliosis condition, more accurately adjust the shape of the spine, and enhance the correction effect. In addition, the muscles and soft tissues in the thorax are relatively abundant, which can provide better support and cushioning. Setting the upper brace at this position can reduce direct pressure and friction on the skin and improve the comfort of the wearer.

[0049] The ilium is part of the human pelvis, with a solid structure and stable position. Fixing the lower brace at this position can ensure the stability of the scoliosis orthosis during physical activities and prevent the orthosis from moving or shaking and affecting the correction effect. The waist is the core area of ​​human activity and bears the weight and strength from the upper body. By setting the lower brace on the ilium, the correction force generated by the scoliosis orthosis can be dispersed to the pelvis and lower limbs, reducing direct pressure on the lumbar spine and reducing the risk of lumbar spine injury. By setting the lower brace on the ilium, the corrective force can be applied to the spine more directly and effectively, improving the curvature or scoliosis of the spine and improving the correction effect.

[0050] At least one of a bearing is provided between the connecting member and the first rotating rod and a bearing is provided between the connecting member and the second rotating rod;

[0051] Preferably, the connecting member has a chamber for accommodating the bearing, the inner ring of the bearing is sleeved on the first rotating rod or the second rotating rod, the outer ring of the bearing is in contact with the chamber, and the axial position of the bearing is limited by the chamber and / or the retaining spring.

[0052] On the basis of conforming to the common sense in the art, the above preferred technical solutions can be freely combined to obtain the preferred embodiments of the present application.

[0053] The positive and progressive effect of the utility model is that through the design of the connecting piece, the brace and the adjustment assembly can be rotated in the first plane and the second plane respectively, so that the brace can better adapt to the scoliosis of the patient, realize the adaptive adjustment of the scoliosis orthosis relative to the patient's body, and improve the correction effect and comfort. The design of the angle is to ensure that the scoliosis orthosis can cover more angles and directions when adjusting, so as to more comprehensively adapt to the scoliosis of different patients, improve the adaptability and flexibility of the scoliosis orthosis, and thus improve the correction effect.

[0095] Circlip 550 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0096] A preferred embodiment is given below, and the present invention is described more clearly and completely in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0097] This embodiment provides a scoliosis orthosis 100, such as Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the scoliosis orthosis 100 includes a brace 10, an adjustment assembly 20 and a connector 30; the brace 10 and the adjustment assembly 20 are connected via the connector 30, the connector 30 can rotate relative to the brace 10 in a first plane 50, and the connector 30 can rotate relative to the adjustment assembly 20 in a second plane 51; wherein the first plane 50 and the second plane 51 have an angle.

[0098] like Figure 7 As shown, the first plane 50 is the plane on which the connecting member 20 is installed on the brace 10, and the connecting member 30 can rotate in the first plane 50 around the direction of A or the opposite direction in the figure; the second plane 51 is the installation plane of the adjustment component 20 relative to the connecting member 30, and the connecting member 30 can rotate in the second plane 51 around the direction of B in the figure or the opposite direction.

[0099] Through the design of the connecting member 30, the brace 10 and the adjustment assembly 20 can be rotated in the first plane 50 and the second plane 51 respectively, so that the brace 10 can be rotated and adjusted in two planes according to the patient's spine, so as to achieve adaptive adjustment of the scoliosis brace 100 relative to the patient's body, and improve the correction effect and comfort. The design of the angle is to ensure that the scoliosis brace 100 can cover more angles and directions during adjustment, so as to more comprehensively adapt to the scoliosis conditions of different patients, improve the adaptability and flexibility of the scoliosis brace 100, and thus improve the correction effect. Specifically, the angle between the two planes can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0100] In this embodiment, the first plane 50 and the second plane 51 are perpendicular to each other. The two planes are perpendicular to each other so that the connector 30 can rotate freely in one direction without affecting the rotation in the other direction; the independent adjustment of the connector 30 in the two planes allows the scoliosis orthosis 100 to be adjusted in a single direction. The brace 10 and the adjustment assembly 20 can also rotate in conjunction in two mutually perpendicular planes, thereby achieving more accurate and effective scoliosis orthosis adjustment. During specific use, the rotation of the connector 30 in the first plane 50 allows the brace 10 to be rotated and adjusted in the front-to-back direction around the human body; the rotation of the connector 30 in the second plane 51 allows the brace 10 to be rotated and adjusted around the left and right sides of the human body.

[0101] Specifically, the connecting member 30 includes a first rotating portion 31 and a second rotating portion 32. The brace 10 is rotatably connected to the first rotating portion 31 so that the connecting member 30 rotates relative to the brace 10 in a first plane 50; the adjusting assembly 20 is rotatably connected to the second rotating portion 32 so that the connecting member 30 rotates relative to the adjusting assembly 20 in a second plane 51.

[0102] The rotatable connection between the brace 10 and the first rotating part 31 enables the connector 30 to rotate freely in the first plane 50, so that the angle and position of the connector 30 can be adjusted according to the patient's scoliosis condition, thereby ensuring that the orthosis can provide stable support and orthopedic force; the rotatable connection between the adjustment component 20 and the second rotating part 32 enables the connector 30 to rotate freely in the second plane 51, further enhancing the flexibility of the orthosis, so that the doctor or patient can fine-tune the scoliosis orthosis 100 as needed to better adapt to the patient's body shape and orthopedic needs; in addition, the spinal orthosis can be adjusted by simultaneously adjusting the rotation angle and position of the connector 30 in two planes, thereby improving the orthopedic effect.

[0103] The connecting member 30 further includes a body portion 33, and the first rotating portion 31 includes a first through hole 311 and a first rotating rod 310, and the first through hole 311 is disposed on the body portion 33. In a first embodiment, one end of the first rotating rod 310 is fixedly connected to the brace 10, and the other end of the first rotating rod 310 is rotatably connected to the first through hole 311; in a second embodiment, the first rotating rod 310 and the first through hole 311 are fixedly connected, and the first rotating rod 310 is rotatably connected to the brace 10.

[0104] The above two designs can both realize the rotatable connection between the main body 33 and the brace 10 through the action of the first rotating rod 310, and realize the rotation of the brace 10 in the first plane 50; improve the adaptability and flexibility of the scoliosis orthosis 100, make the adjustment more convenient and accurate, thereby improving the treatment effect and the comfort of the patient; in addition, the first rotating rod 310 can provide sufficient strength for the rotation of the brace 10 and the main body 33, and the main body 33 applies a force to the brace 10 through the first rotating rod 310, so as to transmit the force in the correction process to the brace 10.

[0105] The connecting member 30 further includes a body portion 33, and the second rotating portion 32 includes a second through hole 321 and a second rotating rod 320, and the second through hole 321 is disposed on the body portion 33. There are two implementations of the second rotating portion 32, the first being that one end of the second rotating rod 320 is rotatable in the second through hole 321, and the other end of the second rotating rod 320 is fixedly connected to the adjustment assembly 20;

[0106] The second implementation manner is: one end of the second rotating rod 320 is fixedly connected to the second through hole 321 , and the other end of the second rotating rod 320 is rotatably connected to the adjusting assembly 20 .

[0107] The above two designs of the second rotating part 32 can also realize the rotation of the adjustment component 20 in the second plane 51; this design can improve the adaptability and flexibility of the orthosis, making the adjustment more convenient and precise, thereby improving the treatment effect and the comfort of the patient. In addition, the second rotating rod 320 can provide sufficient strength for the rotation of the adjustment component 20 and the main body 33. The adjustment component 20 can apply a force to the main body 33 through the second rotating rod 320 to meet the correction force requirements of the orthosis process.

[0108] In actual use, the implementation methods of the first rotating part 31 and the second rotating part 32 can be freely combined to meet the needs of different patients for the scoliosis correction orthosis 100.

[0109] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the bracket 10 is provided with a mounting boss 12. In specific implementation, this embodiment provides two implementation modes. The first one is: one end of the first rotating rod 310 is fixedly connected to the mounting boss 12, and the other end of the first rotating rod 310 is rotatably connected to the first through hole 311; the second one is: one end of the first rotating rod 310 is rotatably connected to the mounting boss 12, and the other end of the first rotating rod 310 is fixedly connected to the first through hole 311.

[0110] In another preferred embodiment, a bearing 540 or other components may be provided between the second rotating rod 320, the first rotating rod 310 and the connecting member 30 to improve the rotation performance between the second rotating rod 320, the first rotating rod 310 and the connecting member 30. Figure 9-13 As shown, a schematic diagram of the structure of a scoliosis orthosis 100 is provided. In the orthosis, a plurality of adjustment components 20 are arranged around the upper brace 11 and the lower brace 14. The structures of the upper brace 11, the lower brace 14 and the adjustment components 20 are basically similar to the embodiments provided above. In the following content, the differences from the above embodiments are mainly introduced.

The connecting block 13 is arranged on the outer surface of the corresponding support at a certain angle to the horizontal direction, and the mounting boss 12 can pass through the connecting block 13 in the vertical direction. Therefore, when the mounting boss 12 is connected to the connecting block 13, the convenience of operation is improved.

[0112] Further, for two connecting blocks 13 connected to the same orthopedic adjustment component, as Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the two connecting blocks 13 are inclined toward the space between the upper support 11 and the lower support 13 .

[0113] In other embodiments, for example Figure 8 In the provided embodiment, the connection blocks 13 may also be arranged along the horizontal direction.

[0114] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the second rotating rod 320 is preferably connected to the driven member 22 and is integrated. Taking the adjustment assembly 20 as an example, the second rotating rod 320 is connected to the nut and is integrated. The first rotating rod 310 is preferably connected to the mounting boss 12 and is integrated.

[0115] A bearing 540 is provided at least between the connecting member 30 and the second rotating rod 320 or between the connecting member 30 and the first rotating rod 310 ; preferably, both are provided.

[0116] like Fig.12 and Fig.13 As shown, the connecting member 30 is a U-shaped structure, including a first arm 511, a second arm 512 and a bottom wall 513. The first arm 511, the second arm 512 and the bottom wall 513 are all walls with a certain thickness, and a cavity for accommodating the bearing 540 can be provided therein. The bottom of the cavity can limit the axial position of the bearing 540, and the axial position of the bearing 540 can also be limited by a retaining ring 550.

[0117] Specifically, the first arm 511 and the second arm 512 have a cavity recessed inward from the outer surface of the connecting member 30, one end of the bearing 540 contacts the bottom wall of the cavity, and the other end of the bearing 540 is limited by the retaining spring 550. The bottom wall 513 is provided with a through cavity, and both ends of the bearing 540 can be limited by the retaining spring 550.

[0118] like Fig.13 As shown, the ends of the first arm 511 and the second arm 512 may be provided with openings, and the openings may allow the second rotating rod 320 to enter the cavity where the bearing 540 is installed.

[0119] The mounting boss 12 provides a stable support point to ensure that the connection between the brace 10 and the connecting member 30 is firm and reliable, thereby allowing the connecting member 30 to be adjusted relative to the brace 10 in the first plane 50 to adapt to the scoliosis of the patient. This design improves the adaptability and flexibility of the orthosis, allowing doctors or patients to more conveniently adjust the angle and position of the orthosis to meet personalized orthopedic needs.

[0120] The brace 10 is also provided with a connecting block 13, and the connection between the connecting block 13 and the brace 10 is set to an arc surface, so that the arc surface of the connecting block 13 fits the outer surface of the brace 10, and a groove 131 is provided in the connecting block 13. The mounting boss 12 is inserted into the groove 131 of the connecting block 13, and the mounting boss 12 of the upper brace 11 is inserted upward and in place; the mounting boss 12 of the lower brace 14 is inserted downward and in place, and the position is fixed by the adjustment component 20 in the middle, so that the installed mounting boss 12 is kept in the plugged state under the action of the adjustment component 20, and the plug-in connection mode facilitates the adjustment component 20 and the connector 30 to be disassembled from the upper brace 11 or the lower brace 14 as a whole.

[0121] Among them, the adjustment component 20 includes an active member 21 and a driven member 22, and the active member 21 is connected to the driven member 22; in this embodiment, there are two ways of connecting the second rotating rod 320 and the driven member 22, the first is: one end of the second rotating rod 320 is fixedly connected to the driven member 22, and the other end of the second rotating rod 320 is rotatably connected to the second through hole 321; the second is: one end of the second rotating rod 320 is rotatably connected to the driven member 22, and the other end of the second rotating rod 320 is fixedly connected to the second through hole 321.

[0122] Both of the above designs can make the adjustment component 20 rotate relative to the connecting member 30, thereby improving the adaptability and flexibility of the scoliosis orthosis 100 and helping to achieve a more precise correction effect. At the same time, through the connection between the active member 21 and the driven member 22, the doctor or the patient can conveniently operate the adjustment component 20 to achieve precise adjustment of the adjustment component 20 relative to the connecting member 30.

[0123] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the connecting member 30 is U-shaped, and the second through hole 321 is arranged on two opposite sides of the U-shape; the first through hole 311 is arranged at the bottom of the U-shape, and the axis of the second through hole 321 is perpendicular to the axis of the first through hole 311. The second through hole 321 and the first through hole 311 are respectively arranged on both sides and the bottom of the U-shape, so that the angle and position of the connecting member 30 can be adjusted by the second rotating rod 320 and / or the first rotating rod 310, thereby improving the adaptability and flexibility of the orthosis. By arranging the second through hole 321 and the first through hole 311 to be perpendicular to each other, the stress applied to the connecting member 30 can be dispersed, reducing the risk of stress concentration, helping to extend the service life of the orthosis and reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

[0124] Specifically, the middle of the second rotating rod 320 in this embodiment is in the form of a sleeve, and rotating support rods are fixedly connected on both sides, and the rotating support rods are rotatably connected to the second through hole 321; a thread or other corresponding parts connected to the driven rod of the adjustment component 20 can be set in the sleeve.

[0125] The brace 10 includes an upper brace 11 and a lower brace 14 , one end of the adjustment component 20 is connected to one of the upper brace 11 or the lower brace 14 through a connecting member 30 , and the other end of the adjustment component 20 is connected to the other of the upper brace 11 and the lower brace 14 through another connecting member 30 .

[0126] The adjustment component 20 is combined with the upper main brace 10 and the lower brace 14 to ensure that the scoliosis orthosis 100 is provided with an upper brace 11 and a lower brace 14 at the corresponding positions of the upper and lower parts of the adjustment part of the spine, and the upper brace 11 and the lower brace 14 provide uniform support and correction force; this design can effectively disperse the pressure applied to the spine, reduce unnecessary stress concentration, and thus reduce the patient's discomfort. By adjusting the angle and / or position of the adjustment component 20, the point of action and the strength of the scoliosis orthosis 100 on the spine can be changed, thereby achieving a more precise correction effect, so that the scoliosis orthosis 100 can adapt to the spine morphology and correction needs of different patients, and improve the adaptability and treatment effect of the orthosis.

[0127] Among them, the adjustment component 20 includes an active member 21 and at least one follower 22, the follower 22 is connected to the active member 21, and moves under the action of the active member 21, the follower 22 is connected to the upper brace 11 or the lower brace 14 through the connecting member 30, by adjusting the active member 21, the doctor or the patient can directly control the position and angle of the follower 22, so as to adjust the overall shape and supporting force of the scoliosis orthosis 100, the adjustment process is more intuitive and simple, and the adaptability and flexibility of the scoliosis orthosis 100 are improved; at least one follower 22 is connected to the connecting member 30, which can provide support and correction force at multiple points, so as to more evenly disperse the force applied to the spine, reduce stress concentration and discomfort, and improve the correction effect.

[0128] In this embodiment, the two ends of the adjustment component 20 are detachably connected to the upper brace 11 and the lower brace 14 through the connecting piece 30, which can facilitate the wearing of the upper brace 11 and the lower brace 14, and the reuse of the adjustment component 20 and the upper brace 11 or the lower brace 14, thereby saving costs. On the other hand, when the patient is resting, it is convenient to remove the upper brace 11 or the lower brace 14 from the patient's body. Among them, the detachable connection includes at least one of a threaded connection, a pin connection and a snap connection, and other common mechanical methods can also be selected for detachable connection. The detachable connection of the adjustment component 20 relative to the connecting piece 30 and the adaptive adjustment of the connecting piece 30 itself enable the adjustment component 20 to better adapt to the patient's scoliosis condition, realize the adaptive adjustment of the scoliosis orthosis relative to the patient's body, and improve the correction effect and comfort.

[0129] The two ends of the adjustment component 20 can be connected to the connecting member 30 in the same detachable manner, or in different detachable manners, for example, one end of the adjustment component 20 adopts one of the methods of threaded connection, pin connection and snap connection, and the other end of the adjustment component 20 adopts another of the methods of threaded connection, pin connection and snap connection. In this embodiment, various combinations of methods are not listed one by one, but those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed based on the design ideas of this embodiment and in combination with actual usage, and the protection scope of the utility model should not be limited to the embodiments provided below. In this embodiment, the active member 21 drives the driven members 22 located at both ends of the active member 21 to move synchronously. The movement of the active member 21 will directly cause the driven members 22 at both ends to move in opposite directions at the same speed, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of the system. Because the movements of the two driven members 22 are synchronized, the relative positions between them remain unchanged, which helps to reduce errors.

[0130] In other preferred embodiments, the active member 21 drives the driven member 22 at either end of the active member 21 to move, and the driven member 22 at the other end of the active member 21 is fixed relative to the active member 21. If the movement of the active member 21 only affects the driven member 22 at one end, while the driven member 22 at the other end remains stationary, a larger adjustment range is provided for the driven member 22, and the driven member 22 can be selectively driven as needed; in addition, compared with synchronous driving of two synchronizers, energy loss and mechanical wear are reduced.

[0131] The follower 22 is detachably connected to the upper brace 11 or the lower brace 14 , so as to facilitate the removal of the adjustment assembly 20 from the scoliosis orthosis 100 .

[0132] In this embodiment, Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the adjustment assembly 20 includes one of a gear rack mechanism 60, a screw nut mechanism or a one-way screw nut mechanism 61. The gear rack mechanism 60 has high transmission efficiency, can achieve rapid response and adjustment, has high structural strength and rigidity, and can withstand large loads. The active member 21 of the gear rack mechanism 60 is a gear, and the driven member 22 is a rack; the screw nut mechanism can achieve high-precision positioning and linear motion, and can achieve precise control. The matching relationship between the screw and the nut enables the mechanism to achieve smooth and continuous motion. In addition, the screw nut mechanism also has a self-locking function, which is convenient for intermittent debugging during use. The active member 21 of the one-way screw nut mechanism 61 is a nut, and the driven member 22 is a screw.

[0133] A self-locking mechanism is provided on the rack and pinion mechanism 60. After the patient wears the brace, the length of the adjustment component 20 is determined by a pre-set model according to the condition of scoliosis. When the pre-adjusted model is worn on the patient's body, the connecting member 30 can be rotated in the first plane 50 and the second plane 51 to be adjusted at a certain angle. At the same time, the active member 21 or the driven member 22 in the adjustment component 20 adjusts the distance between the upper brace 11 and the lower brace 14 in the direction of the connection point with the adjustment component 20 by rotation or movement, so as to achieve adaptive adjustment of the scoliosis orthosis 100 and the body.

[0134] Specifically, the rack part of the double-pinion rack mechanism is connected to the connecting piece, and the connecting piece is adaptively adjusted in the front-back and left-right directions of the human body, and the gear rack is responsible for the adaptive adjustment of the scoliosis orthosis 100 in the up-down direction; one of the gears or racks on the single-pinion rack mechanism 60 is fixedly connected to the upper brace 11 or the lower brace 14, and the other of the gears or racks is fixedly connected to the upper brace 11 or the lower brace 14. Similarly, the single-pinion rack mechanism 60 is mainly responsible for the adaptive adjustment of the scoliosis orthosis 100 in the height direction of the human body; a fixed bearing 211 is provided at the lower end of the one-way screw nut mechanism 61, and the fixed bearing 211 is fixedly connected to one of the upper brace 11 or the lower brace 14. The screw of the one-way screw nut mechanism 61 is connected to the other of the upper brace 11 or the lower brace 14, and the distance between the connection points between the upper brace 11 and the lower brace 14 can be adjusted by rotating the nut.

[0135] Specifically, the adjustment component 20 in this embodiment includes a left-hand screw, a left-hand nut and a right-hand nut. The left-hand rod part of the left-hand screw is sleeved with a left-hand nut, and the right-hand rod part of the left-hand screw is sleeved with a right-hand nut. One of the left-hand nut or the right-hand nut is connected to the second rotating rod 320 near the upper support 11, and the other of the left-hand nut or the right-hand nut is connected to the second rotating rod 320 near the lower support 14. Due to the design of the left-hand screw, when the screw rotates, the left-hand nut and the right-hand nut will move in opposite directions respectively. This design enables the adjustment component 20 to simultaneously control the second rotating rods 320 in two different positions, thereby achieving bidirectional or symmetrical adjustment; in addition, the movement of the two nuts is synchronized, that is, they move in opposite directions at the same speed. Ensure that the relative position relationship between the two second rotating rods 320 connected to the adjustment component 20 remains constant, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the system.

[0136] The scoliosis orthosis 100 includes at least three adjustment components 20, and the at least three adjustment components 20 are arranged on the upper brace 11 and the lower brace 14 along the circumference of the human body.

[0137] In this solution, multiple adjustment components 20 are arranged in a surrounding manner to provide full-range and all-angle adjustment capabilities; they can adapt to scoliosis in different parts and directions, and by independently adjusting each component, a more precise and personalized correction effect can be achieved. In addition, the synergistic effect of multiple adjustment components 20 can enhance the overall stability of the scoliosis orthosis 100. By dispersing the support points and adjustment points, the orthosis can be more evenly distributed around the spine, reducing the single-point force, thereby reducing the wearer's discomfort and improving the correction effect.

[0138] In this embodiment, four adjustment components 20 are provided in the scoliosis orthosis 100, and the four adjustment components 20 are distributed along the outer side of the brace 10, and the distance between two adjacent adjustment components 20 on the front and rear sides is greater than the distance between the adjustment components 20 on the left and right sides; after wearing the scoliosis orthosis 100, the human body can move the chest forward, backward, left and right.

[0139] Among them, the upper brace 11 is arranged on the thorax of the human body; as an important structure of the human body, the thorax has a relatively stable shape and position. Fixing the upper brace 11 at this position can ensure the stability and reliability of the scoliosis orthosis 100 and prevent loosening or displacement during daily activities or sports. The thorax is an important support point of the spine and is closely connected to the spine. By arranging the upper brace 11 on the thorax, a corrective force can be directly applied to the spine, which effectively improves the scoliosis situation, and can more accurately adjust the shape of the spine to enhance the correction effect. In addition, the muscles and soft tissues in the thorax are relatively abundant, which can provide better support and cushioning. Setting the upper brace 11 at this position can reduce direct pressure and friction on the skin and improve the comfort of the wearer.

[0140] The lower brace 14 is arranged on the ilium below the waist of the human body. The ilium is a part of the human pelvis, and has a solid structure and a stable position. Fixing the lower brace 14 at this position can ensure the stability of the scoliosis orthosis 100 during physical activities and prevent the orthosis from affecting the correction effect due to movement or shaking. The waist is the core area of ​​human activity and bears the weight and strength from the upper body. By setting the lower brace 14 on the ilium, the correction force generated by the scoliosis orthosis 100 can be dispersed to the pelvis and lower limbs, reducing the direct pressure on the lumbar spine and reducing the risk of lumbar spine injury. By setting the lower brace 14 on the ilium, the correction force can be applied to the spine more directly and effectively, the curvature or scoliosis of the spine can be improved, and the correction effect can be improved.

[0141] The installation process of the scoliosis orthosis 100 is as follows: Step 1, the upper and lower braces 14 are in contact with the human body in a close-fitting and comfortable manner. This can be achieved through a flexible lining, a pleated lining, or an air cushion lining, and the force-bearing part that the upper brace 11 contacts is the thorax. The force-bearing part of the lower brace 14 is the ilium (upper edge of the pelvis). Step 2, with the lower brace 14 as support, the orthotic function is achieved by adjusting the length of the adjustment component 20, and the adjustment component 20 is connected to the upper and lower braces 14 with a detachable connection device. Step 3, a flexible material connection device is set up on the outer surface of the upper and lower braces 14, which can fix a matching flexible material, such as Velcro 40.

[0142] When the scoliosis orthosis 100 is used, the upper brace 11 and the lower brace 14 are worn on the chest and waist respectively according to the patient's body shape; the upper and lower braces 14 are fastened with Velcro straps 40; the rotating handle is turned to make one side of the left and right sides of the trunk be pulled and the other side be compressed according to the actual scoliosis of the patient; the hips are used as the reference force point, and the vertical distance between the two sides of the thorax and the hips is adjusted to achieve correction of scoliosis.

[0143] The scoliosis orthosis 100 of this embodiment has the following characteristics: first, the lower brace 14 is used as a support point to implement mechanical intervention to ensure the orthopedic effect; second, functional structures can be added to the surface of the upper and lower braces 14 in the form of Velcro 40. For example, a flexible and comfortable lining is added, and a fixed maintenance component is added during the addition stage. Third, the support rod and the detachable connection device can be easily removed after the stage is completed.

[0144] In other preferred embodiments, the detachable connection portion between the adjustment component 20 and the upper brace 11 or the lower brace 14 is adjustable in position and can be set at different positions of the upper and lower braces 14; the flexible component connection device can use Velcro 40, buttons and other methods to fix the position of the flexible structure and the brace 10.

Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these implementations without departing from the principle and essence of the utility model, but these changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
