Detailed implementation mode

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] This embodiment is given by Figures 1-4 The present invention includes two retaining tubes 1 sleeved on the upper arm and lower arm of the hand. The two retaining tubes 1 can be successively sleeved on the patient's arm. An angle adjusting assembly 2 is arranged between the two retaining tubes 1. The adjusting assembly 2 is used to adjust the angle between the two retaining tubes 1.

[0023] Among them, the adjusting assembly 2 includes two positioning blocks 201 fixed on the bottom retaining tube 1. A self-locking motor 202 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of each of the two positioning blocks 201 on the bottom retaining tube 1. The self-locking motor 202 has a self-locking function and is also an asynchronous motor at the same time. Therefore, it can be driven and rotated in two directions. A support arm 203 is movably installed outside each positioning block 201, and one side of the support arm 203 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top retaining tube 1. The bottom inner wall of the support arm 203 is fixed to the output end of the self-locking motor 202. When adjusting the angle, only need to start the self-locking motor 202 to rotate clockwise, and then the self-locking motor 202 can drive the support arm 203 to change the angle of the top retaining tube 1, realizing the adjustment of the angle of the upper limb brace. And the self-locking motor 202 can automatically lock and fix the position, realizing the position fixation after the angle adjustment of the upper limb brace, meeting the different angle adjustment needs of users. And through the electric method, the patient does not need to operate by himself with force, avoiding the patient being injured due to large-scale force application, and improving the use safety of the upper limb brace;

[0024] A positioning member 3 is arranged at both ends of the two retaining tubes 1. A support assembly 4 sleeved on the patient's neck is fixedly installed on the top retaining tube 1 installed on the lower arm;

[0025] The positioning member 3 includes a tightening sleeve 301 fixed to one end of the retaining tube 1. The tightening sleeve 301 is made of nylon material and has elasticity, so it can be applied to arms of different thicknesses. On one side of the surface of the tightening sleeve 301, a first assembly belt 302 is fixedly installed. One end of the first assembly belt 302 is movably installed with a figure-eight buckle 303. On the other side of the surface of the tightening sleeve 301, a second assembly belt 304 is fixedly installed. When both retaining tubes 1 are sleeved on the patient's arm, the second assembly belt 304 can be pulled and wound around the figure-eight buckle 303. The specific winding method refers to the backpack strap. By changing the length of the second assembly belt 304 wound around the figure-eight buckle 303, the position of the two retaining tubes 1 can be fixed correspondingly according to the thickness of the patient's arm;

[0026] The support assembly 4 includes a plurality of groups of equally spaced ventilation holes 401 opened on the retaining tube 1, and the inner wall of the ventilation holes 401 is provided with threads. A support ring 402 is movably installed outside the retaining tube 1 at the top. One side of the support ring 402 is threadedly connected with a retaining bolt 403. The support ring 402 can be used to move horizontally on the retaining tube 1. When it moves to a suitable position, the retaining bolt 403 can be manually rotated and connected to the corresponding ventilation hole 401, and the position of the support ring 402 can be fixed. On the other side of the support ring 402, a positioning ring 404 is fixedly installed. Inside the positioning ring 404, a merging belt 405 is movably sleeved. One end of the merging belt 405 is fixedly installed with a plurality of branch belts 406. One ends of the merging belt 405 and the plurality of branch belts 406 are both fixedly installed with support members 407. By connecting the merging belt 405, the branch belts 406 and the support members 407, it changes the situation that the traditional upper limb brace can only be supported by a single rope sleeved around the patient's neck. In this way, after long-term use, it will only bring greater pressure to the patient's neck. With the cooperation of the support members 407, the force can be dispersed to the patient's shoulders, improving the labor-saving effect of using the upper limb brace. By adjusting the position of the support ring 402, a suitable support force point can be selected, changing the support center, and meeting different support force use requirements;

[0027] The support member 407 includes a placement sleeve 4071 fixed to one end of the merging belt 405. The placement sleeve 4071 is similar to armor and can protect the patient's shoulder and chest front and back positions. On one side of the placement sleeve 4071, a retaining hole 4072 for head insertion is opened. The patient only needs to put the head through the retaining hole 4072 to complete the wearing of the placement sleeve 4071. The inner wall of the placement sleeve 4071 is fixedly installed with a protective layer 4073. The protective layer 4073 can be made of cotton material to ensure breathability. At the same time, by using the protective layer 4073 to contact the patient's body, the discomfort caused by the patient wearing the placement sleeve 4071 can be avoided;

[0028] A retaining member 5 is provided on both sides of the placement sleeve 4071. The retaining member 5 is used to clamp the two sides of the placement sleeve 4071 to improve the stability of the placement sleeve 4071 when worn on the patient. The retaining member 5 includes an elastic band 501 fixed to the outside of the placement sleeve 4071. The elastic band 501 is made of nylon material, so the elastic band 501 can be stretched. A hook 502 is fixedly installed at one end of the elastic band 501. A shaping frame 503 is fixedly installed on the surface of the placement sleeve 4071. The inner cavity of the shaping frame 503 is inserted into one end of the hook 502. When the shaping frame 503 and the hook 502 are combined, the two sides of the placement sleeve 4071 can be fixed at the armpit position of the patient, ensuring the stable wearing of the placement sleeve 4071;

[0029] A network-connected camera 6 is inlaid and installed on the surface of the placement sleeve 4071. Through the camera 6, the status of the patient and the upper limb can be monitored in real time, and when a dangerous situation occurs, it can be network-connected to notify the patient's family members to alarm.
