Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a wearable orthopedic device, in particular to a height adjustment structure of a spinal orthopedic brace. Background Art

[0002] A spinal orthosis is a device used to protect the spine and perform spinal rehabilitation treatment. It is mainly used to limit spinal movement and assist in stabilizing diseased joints. It can stretch the back muscles and ligaments in a strong, effective and controllable manner to relieve local pain, reduce the load on the vertebrae, and promote healing of lesions; support paralyzed spinal muscles; prevent and correct spinal deformities. Traditional spinal orthoses are mainly composed of chest straps, pelvic straps, back straps, side strips, abdominal straps and plastic supports. Existing spinal orthoses are inconvenient to wear due to their complex structure and large area and volume of each component. In addition, their heavy weight also increases the burden on the human body. Moreover, most of them cannot be adjusted in height, and only specific models can be selected for different heights and body shapes.

[0003] There are also height-adjustable spinal orthosis braces on the market, such as the Chinese utility model patent "Lightweight frame pressure-adjustable spinal fixation orthosis" with patent number ZL202023325114.3 (publication number CN214712956U), which discloses such a structural fixation orthosis, including two vertical middle side panels on the left and right, each of which is fixed with an upper side panel upward and a lower side panel downward, an upper support plate connected between the ends of the two upper side panels, a lower support plate connected between the ends of the two lower side panels, a lumbar plate provided between the two middle side panels and at the rear, and the left and right sides of the lumbar plate are connected to the corresponding middle side panels by fixing belts. A row of adjustment holes are provided on the middle side panels along the length direction, the upper support panel transversely, and the lower support panel transversely. The middle side panels are fixed with buckles, and the fixing belts are connected to the buckles on the corresponding sides. The middle side panel in the aforementioned orthosis is sewn into the fabric (lumbar pad) as a lining, and also serves as the "base" of the locking system of the back lumbar support belt on one side, while the other side requires a hook or pin to fix the back lumbar support belt. The locking system includes a mounting base fixed to the middle side panel by fasteners, and the mounting base also requires an additional locking component hinged to it. The product is held together by a series of fasteners (screws, bolts or nuts), which must be tightened and require tools (such as screwdrivers or Allen wrenches), which are provided separately and cannot be used by the end user at any time, and there is even a risk of losing them. The aforementioned orthosis can be searched directly on Taobao or other shopping platforms.

[0004] In summary, the height adjustment structure of the existing spinal orthosis brace can be further improved. Summary of the invention

[0005] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a height adjustment structure of a spinal orthosis brace with a reasonable design and few components in view of the above-mentioned existing technical status.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the above technical problems is: a height adjustment structure of a spinal orthosis brace, including an integrally formed base plate fixed on a fabric, and an upper slide plate and a lower slide plate; the characteristic is that: the base plate has a main plate portion and a wing plate portion located on one side of the main plate portion, the main plate portion is provided with a vertically penetrating channel, the upper slide plate and the lower slide plate are both inserted into the channel and can slide up and down, and the upper slide plate and the lower slide plate are detachably fixed in the channel by fasteners, and the base plate is also integrally formed with a lock seat for the lock to be installed thereon or a hook for the connecting buckle to be hung thereon.

[0007] Preferably, the lock seat is formed on the wing plate portion, and the outer edge of the main plate portion is formed with a connecting portion extending outward, and the connecting portion is provided with a locking hole for the lock buckle to engage.

[0008] In order to facilitate the rotation of the lock on the lock seat, the lock seat has a shaft for the lock to be hinged on, and further improved, the shaft is provided with a socket for the hand tool to be inserted into. The hand tool can be hidden in the socket and always stay with the product, so that the hand tool can be found immediately when it is needed for adjustment.

[0009] As a further improvement, the wing plate is formed with a slot for the hand tool to be clipped thereon. The hand tool can be clipped in the slot and always stay with the product to avoid the hand tool not being able to be found immediately when adjustment is required. The slot can be used independently or in conjunction with the socket of the shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the hook is formed on the top surface of the main board portion, so that the hook provided on the top surface of the main board portion is convenient for the connecting buckle to be hooked.

[0011] As a further improvement, the upper slide plate is provided with two upper strip guide holes spaced apart from each other, the lower slide plate is provided with two lower strip guide holes spaced apart from each other, the upper slide plate and the lower slide plate inserted into the channel are stacked together, the top of the channel is provided with at least two through holes, the bottom of the channel is provided with threaded holes corresponding to the through holes, bolts are passed through the through holes and the upper strip guide holes and the lower strip guide holes and then threadedly connected with the corresponding threaded holes, and then the bolts press the upper slide plate and the lower slide plate into the channel to achieve fixation. The strip guide holes and the bolts form a guide and form a constraint on the limit position of their adjustment. The upper slide plate and the lower slide plate are placed together, which can reduce the number of fasteners, and the mutual suppression can be formed, so that the upper slide plate and the lower slide plate can be more firmly fixed in the channel.

[0012] Since the base plate is made of plastic injection molding and the integrated thickness is relatively thin, the strength of the threaded hole cannot be guaranteed by directly processing it. Therefore, as an improvement, at least two nuts are embedded in the main plate, and the nuts form the threaded hole. The threaded hole formed by the nuts made of metal material has higher strength.

[0013] As a further improvement, the top wall of the channel is provided with a plurality of cracks, with one crack being provided on each side of each perforation. The provision of the cracks can make the top wall of the channel with the perforations deform better, and after the bolts are tightened, the upper and lower slide plates can be more firmly pressed into the channel.

[0014] The substrate can be fixed on the surface of the fabric, or part of the substrate can be sewn into the fabric.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the utility model are: the base plate has a main plate portion and a wing plate portion, the overall area is large, and can be better fixed to the fabric; a vertical channel is opened on the main plate portion, and the upper slide plate and the lower slide plate are both arranged in the channel and can slide up and down, and the upper slide plate and the lower slide plate of the channel form a constraint to avoid shaking left and right, so that the upper slide plate and the lower slide plate can be more securely fixed in the channel by fasteners; the base plate also has an integrally formed lock seat for the lock to be installed on it or a hook for the connecting buckle to be hung on it, which integrates multiple traditional functional components into a single plastic component (base plate), thereby reducing the overall cost of the product and reducing the time required for the assembly stage.
