Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of life assistance appliances, in particular to a dressing aid. Background Art

[0002] The existing widely used dressing aid consists of structures such as an S-shaped hook, a connecting rod, a cross beam, a shoehorn, etc., which provide assistance for users to dress and put on shoes. The end of the aid is an "S"-shaped plastic hook, which is relatively smooth as a whole and has little friction. When the hook touches the clothes, it turns the body to hook the clothes. This kind of technology has problems such as great difficulty in hooking clothes and low hooking rate during use. Moreover, using the existing dressing aid requires a large range of motion of the wrist joint, elbow joint, and shoulder joint of the patient, and cannot meet the usage needs of most patients.

[0003] Such as Figure 1 , one end of the rod body of the aid is an S-shaped hook, mainly used for dressing assistance. The S-shaped hook connecting rod body can rotate at multiple angles to avoid the clothes slipping during dressing, and at the same time increases the flexibility of dressing. The other end of the rod body is equipped with a shoehorn, which can provide assistance for users to dress and also assist in putting on shoes, realizing multiple functions in one. Currently, this dressing aid cannot effectively solve the dressing problems of most elderly people and patients with upper limb dysfunction, and only simply completes the assistance action, which will also bring a certain amount of pressure to the elbow parts of the elderly when pulling the clothes. At the same time, there are problems such as inability to flexibly adjust the range of motion and freedom, and it cannot be applied to different populations.

[0004] The technical solutions of existing dressing robots mainly involve aspects such as mechanical structure design, sensor technology, control algorithms, and human-computer interaction. Mechanical structure design: The design of two or more arms is to more naturally imitate the actions of human dressing to provide greater flexibility and accuracy. The end effector is the part where the robot directly interacts with the human body or clothing. Sensor technology: Through tactile and visual sensors, the robot can sense the contact force between the clothing and the body, help the robot identify and locate the key parts of the human body, so as to adjust the actions and avoid excessive force or causing discomfort. Through complex algorithms, the robot needs to calculate the optimal dressing path to minimize unnecessary actions and time. Human-computer interaction: Users can interact with the robot through buttons, touch screens, voice commands, etc. For example, set an emergency stop button, or automatically stop the action when detecting human discomfort, and provide feedback on the dressing process.

[0005] This technology is relatively complex, and the robot has a high cost, large weight, poor portability, and great operation difficulty; the scope of application is limited, and it is mainly designed for specific populations or specific dressing needs. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome or alleviate one or more of the above technical problems, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide a dressing aid.

[0007] The present utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] A dressing aid, which includes a telescopic rod and a claw hook located at the front end of the telescopic rod. It is characterized in that: the telescopic rod is telescopic and consists of two sections, namely a first telescopic rod and a second telescopic rod. The claw hook is evenly distributed with four hooks. A handle is provided at the rear end of the telescopic rod. The claw hook, the first telescopic rod, the second telescopic rod and the handle are connected to each other pairwise through threaded connectors that can adjust and fix the clamping angle.

[0009] According to some embodiments, rubber is sleeved on the ends of the hooks of the claw hook.

[0010] According to some embodiments, the telescopic rod is a threaded telescopic rod.

[0011] According to some embodiments, the handle is T-shaped or L-shaped.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The dressing aid provided by the present utility model has a simple structure, low cost, and is portable and easy to use. Compared with the dressing aid device with an S-shaped hook, the number of claw hooks of the present utility model has increased, making it easier for those with limited limb movement to use; the telescopic rod can be telescoped to adjust the length and the threaded connector can adjust the angle, providing more convenient assistance for the elderly with limited range of motion of the wrist joint, elbow joint or shoulder joint and the disabled during the dressing process.

[0014] First of all, the dressing aid utilizes a multi-claw claw hook, effectively improving the probability of hooking the clothes. Dressing is more convenient and time-saving. Moreover, the ends of the hooks are equipped with a frosted rubber material, increasing the contact area between the hooks and the clothes. The frosted rubber head increases the friction between the hooks and the clothes, reducing the risk of the clothes slipping off.

[0015] Secondly, the dressing aid provided by the present utility model utilizes a three-section angle-adjustable mode to adjust the angle according to the different ranges of motion of the upper limb joints of different patients, meeting the dressing assistance needs of different patients.

[0016] Finally, the two-section adjustable telescopic rod has a better dressing assistance effect for people of different heights. Description of the Drawings

[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] This embodiment provides a dressing aid, which includes a claw hook 4 with four claws at the front end, two telescopic rods and a handle 3. Each component is connected by a threaded connecting piece 5 that can adjust and fix the clamping angle. The telescopic rods at the front and rear ends are the first telescopic rod 1 and the second telescopic rod 2 respectively. The telescopic rods are made of lightweight plastic materials, and are telescoped with different lengths by using threaded connections. The rod bodies at both ends are respectively connected to the handle 3 and the claw hook 4 by the threaded connecting piece 5 to solve the problem that different patients cannot dress due to limited range of motion of the upper limb joints. The claw hook 4 is mainly used to pull the clothes to assist in dressing. The design of the claw hook 4 with four claws evenly distributes the hooks in four directions, increasing the probability of hooking the clothes during the dressing process, reducing the activities of the patient to hook the clothes through joint movements, and improving flexibility. Compared with the S-hook and three-hook in the prior art, the probability of grasping the clothes is higher, and it is more suitable for the elderly and other functionally disabled people. Compared with the five-hook, the five-hook is more densely distributed and heavier in weight. Therefore, the four-hook is a better choice. The ends of the hooks of the claw hook 4 are covered with frosted rubber, which is beneficial to increasing the friction between the claw hook 4 and the clothes, avoiding the clothes from slipping, and at the same time increasing the weight of the clothes that can be hooked. The telescopic rods adopt a sleeve type and are fixed by threads. For patients with different upper limb lengths, measure and adjust the corresponding length before use. During the rehabilitation process of the patient, the change in the range of motion of the joints can be used by readjusting the angles of the three threaded connecting pieces 5, so as to better meet the usage needs of the patients and meet the personalized design. The first and second telescopic rods are connected to each other and at both ends by the threaded connecting piece 5, and are fixed at different angles to solve the problem of limited range of motion of the patient's wrist joint, elbow joint and shoulder joint. The rear end of the rod body is the handle 3, and the handle 3 is in a T shape or an L shape to increase the comfort of the patient's use and is beneficial for the patient to firmly hold the entire dressing aid with one hand, so as to successfully hook the clothes.

[0025] The above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the concept of the present utility model belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, improvements and refinements made without departing from the principle of the present utility model shall also be regarded as within the protection scope of the present utility model.
