[0002] The human lower limb skeleton model is a three-dimensional model used to display and study the skeletal structure of the human lower limb (including the thigh, knee, leg and foot). It is commonly used in fields such as medicine, anatomy, education and sports science to help students and professionals understand the skeletal structure, joint movement and related muscle and ligament combinations of the lower limb.
[0003] When existing human lower limb skeleton models are used in teaching, the characteristics of the bones are generally observed from different angles through operations such as rotation and scaling, thereby enhancing students' spatial perception ability. However, most existing models do not have a structure to limit and fix the skeleton model when in use, which may cause students to produce incorrect positions or shapes of the skeleton model due to insufficient knowledge reserves. At the same time, when using a model that is not limited and fixed, students may feel troubled or uneasy due to the instability of the model, thereby reducing learning effects and teaching quality. Therefore, a joint range of motion limiter for a human lower limb skeleton model is proposed to solve the problems raised in the background technology. Utility Model Content

[0020] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the utility model provides a joint range of motion limiter of a human lower limb skeleton model, comprising a femur model 1 and a tibial model 2, the outer wall of the femur model 1 is fixedly connected to a first round rod 3, the outside of the tibial model 2 is fixedly connected to a support frame 4, a surface of the support frame 4 is provided with a first arc groove 5, the middle part of the inner cavity of the support frame 4 is movably connected to a knob 6, the outer wall of the knob 6 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 7, the inner part of the knob 6 is movably connected to a limiting circular block 8, the outer wall of the limiting circular block 8 is provided with a second round rod 9 in a ring shape of 180 degrees, the inner part of the knob 6 is movably connected to a rotating cylinder 11, the inner wall of the rotating cylinder 11 is provided with a guide groove 12 in a ring shape of 180 degrees, the side of the rotating cylinder 11 away from the limiting circular block 8 is provided with a second arc groove 13 in a ring shape of 180 degrees, the inner part of the second arc groove 13 is movably clamped with a third round rod 14, the end of the third round rod 14 away from the rotating cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to a tooth block 15, and the middle part of the inner cavity of the support frame 4 is fixedly connected to a gear plate 17.
[0022] The above scheme is adopted: the first round rod 3 is moved inside the first arc groove 5, so that the first round rod 3 can only drive the femoral model 1 to rotate a maximum of one hundred and fifty degrees, which is in line with the normal physiological structure of the human body. At the same time, the angle of movement of the femoral model 1 is limited. After the femoral model 1 is rotated to the predetermined position, the limiting round block 8 is reset under the action of the elastic force of the spring 10, and the second round rod 9 cooperates with the guide groove 12 to drive the rotating cylinder 11 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the second arc groove 13 drives the third round rod 14 and the tooth block 15 thereon to move toward the gear plate 17 until the tooth block 15 is engaged with the gear plate 17, thereby fixing the position of the knob 6 after rotation, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the angle of the femoral model 1 after movement.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the tibial model 2 and the first round rod 3 are hinged, the first round rod 3 is movably clamped inside the first arc groove 5, the arc of the first arc groove 5 is one hundred and fifty degrees, the end of the connecting rod 7 away from the knob 6 is fixedly connected to the first round rod 3, and the end of the limiting circle 8 away from the rotating cylinder 11 passes through the outer wall of the knob 6 and extends to the outside of the knob 6.
[0024] The above scheme is adopted: the arc angle of the first arc groove 5 is one hundred and fifty degrees. Its function is that, under normal physiological conditions, the femoral model 1, the tibial model 2 and the patella form a knee joint, thereby participating in the rotational movement of the knee joint. However, the bending angle of the knee joint has a certain limit range, roughly between 120° and 150°. Therefore, the arc angle of the first arc groove 5 is one hundred and fifty degrees, so that the first round rod 3 can only drive the femoral model 1 to rotate a maximum of one hundred and fifty degrees, thereby achieving the limit of the rotation angle of the femoral model 1.
[0025] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, one side of the limiting circular block 8 is fixedly connected to a spring 10 fixed to the support frame 4. The spring 10 is used to squeeze the limiting circular block 8 and keep the limiting circular block 8 moving toward the outside of the knob 6. The second round rod 9 is movably clamped in the inside of the rotating drum 11. The arc of the rotating drum 11 and the second arc groove 13 are both ninety degrees. The opposite ends of the two tooth blocks 15 pass through the outer wall of the knob 6 and extend to the outside of the knob 6. The tooth blocks 15 are engaged with the gear plate 17 in the initial state. A straight slot 16 is provided on the inner wall of the knob 6. The straight slot 16 is used to circumferentially limit the third round rod 14 when the rotating drum 11 rotates.
[0026] Adopting the above solution: through the design of the spring 10, its function is that when the pressure on the limit circle 8 is released, the limit circle 8 will be reset under the action of the elastic force of the spring 10, thereby facilitating the operator's use next time and ensuring the normal operation of the device.
[0027] When the second rod 9 abuts against the inner wall of the guide groove 12, the third rod 14 drives the tooth block 15 at one end thereof to move in the same direction. When the second rod 9 abuts against the inner wall of the guide groove 12, the third rod 14 drives the tooth block 15 to completely retract into the interior of the knob 6, thereby releasing the engagement between the tooth block 15 and the gear plate 17, thereby releasing the fixation of the knob 6 position. Finally, the operator rotates the knob 6, thereby driving the first rod 3 to slide along the trajectory of the first arc groove 5 through the connecting rod 7. When the first rod 3 rotates, the femoral model 1 is driven to perform simulated movement.
[0028] When the femoral model 1 rotates to the predetermined position, the operator releases the pressure on the limiting block 8, so that the limiting block 8 drives the second round rod 9 to reset under the action of the elastic force of the spring 10, and then the second round rod 9 drives the rotating cylinder 11 to rotate in the opposite direction along the trajectory of the guide groove 12. While the rotating cylinder 11 rotates in the opposite direction, the cooperation between the second arc groove 13 and the third round rod 14 drives the two tooth blocks 15 to move in the opposite direction, and then the tooth blocks 15 are re-engaged with the gear plate 17, thereby fixing the position of the knob 6 after rotation, thereby achieving the effect of limiting the angle of the femoral model 1 after activity.
