Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a toe orthosis includes a main frame 1 and a secondary frame 2. The main frame 1 is provided with a fixing member 3. In this embodiment, the main frame 1 has mounting holes on both sides. The fixing member 3 is a stretch strap fixed in the mounting holes to fix the main frame 1 to the surface of the arch of the foot. By adopting the above technical solution, the toe orthosis is convenient for users to use.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, a screw drive 4 is provided in the main bracket 1, and a clasp 5 is rotatably connected to the outside of the screw drive 4. The clasp 5 abuts against the main bracket 1 and moves up and down along the screw drive 4; the auxiliary bracket 2 is detachably connected to the clasp 5. A fixing belt is installed on the auxiliary bracket 2 of this embodiment, and the fixing belt is used to fix the big toe. By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting and lowering movement of the clasp 5 on the screw drive 4 will drive the lifting and lowering of the auxiliary bracket 2, so that the user can adjust the position of the toe. When using the toe corrector, the user can slowly adjust the position of the big toe according to the correction of the toe, thereby improving the user's comfort in wearing the toe corrector and alleviating the user's discomfort caused by hallux valgus. At the same time, the movement of the auxiliary bracket 2 will not affect the main bracket 1 fitting the side of the foot. The toe corrector of this embodiment is provided with three auxiliary brackets 2 with different offset angles. The user can choose to install different auxiliary brackets 2 according to the correction of the toe, thereby improving the user's comfort in wearing the toe corrector.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the screw drive 4 includes a screw 41, a control button 42 for controlling the rotation of the screw 41, and a positioning member 43. The control button 42 is located at the top of the screw 41, and the positioning member 43 is located at the bottom of the screw 41. The screw 41 is provided with a cavity. The positioning member 43 is fixed at the bottom of the main bracket 1 and extends to the bottom surface of the main bracket 1. The other end of the positioning member 43 is inserted into the cavity and movably connected to the screw 41. The screw 41 is disposed within the main bracket 1 and extends to the top surface of the main bracket 1. The retaining ring 5 is sleeved on the outer end of the screw 41 and abuts the bottom of the main bracket 1, and moves up and down along the screw 41.

[0037] In this embodiment, the top of the retaining ring 5 is equipped with a guide end. The main bracket 1 is mounted on the outside of the retaining ring 5 and has a slide groove on its inner side, where it contacts the retaining ring 5. When the screw 41 rotates, the retaining ring 5 moves up and down, and its guide end moves within the slide groove. The bottom of the retaining ring 5 is equipped with a retaining ring, and the secondary bracket 2 is engaged within the retaining ring. The control button 42 is mounted on the top surface of the main bracket 1 and is fixedly connected to the screw 41 through a threaded connection. By adopting this technical solution, the user can control the raising and lowering of the secondary bracket 2 by turning the control button 42, making it easy for the user to adjust the position of the secondary bracket 2.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the positioning member 43 is fixedly connected to a silicone pad 6 by Velcro. The positioning member 43 of this embodiment is used to abut the deformed point of the user's toe. The silicone pad 6 can reduce the discomfort caused by direct contact between the corrector and the skin. At the same time, the silicone pad 6 also has a shock-absorbing function. When the corrector applies force to correct the toes, it reduces the impact and pressure on the toes, thereby protecting the toes from injury.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, a backing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the main support 1. The backing plate 7 can be fixed by gluing or mechanical means. In this embodiment, the backing plate 7 is made of silicone material and is attached to the bottom of the main support 1 via Velcro provided on the bottom of the main support 1. The bottom of the backing plate 7 is provided with a plurality of convex surfaces 71, through which the backing plate 7 contacts the top of the foot. Gaps are provided between the convex surfaces 71, which open to the sides of the backing plate 7 and communicate with the outside world, forming heat dissipation channels between the backing plate 7 and the top of the foot. By adopting this technical solution, the user's foot can reduce the stuffiness caused by wearing the toe corrector.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the convex surface 71 includes an annular convex surface 71 located in the middle of the pad 7 and a semicircular convex surface 71 located on the side of the pad 7. The annular convex surface 71 can evenly disperse the pressure of the foot, reduce local pressure points, and improve the weight distribution of the foot, while the circular convex surface 71 can provide additional support and cushioning to the side of the foot, and play a positive role in the foot muscle tissue, gait and posture.

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, the main bracket 1 includes a main frame 11 and a connecting frame 12. The connecting frame 12 is clamped at the bottom of the main frame 11. In this embodiment, a cylindrical fixing groove is provided on the connecting frame 12, and a clamping block is provided at the bottom of the main frame 11. The clamping block is engaged in the fixing groove, and the screw transmission member 4 is fixedly connected between the connecting frame 12 and the main frame 11. By adopting the above technical solution, the toe corrector is convenient for disassembly, cleaning, replacement and maintenance.

[0042] As 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a through hole 111 is provided at the end of the main frame 11, and the through hole 111 passes through the side of the main frame 1 and communicates with the outside world; a protrusion 121 is provided at the end of the connecting frame 12, and the protrusion 121 is inserted into and adapted to the through hole 111, and the top surface of the protrusion 121 is flush with the top surface of the main frame 1 and adapted to each other; an empty groove 122 is provided in the protrusion 121. In this embodiment, a heat sink or a heating element can be placed in the protrusion 121 as needed. When worn in a hot environment, a heat sink can be placed to reduce the discomfort caused by heat accumulation. In a cold environment, placing a heating element can provide warmth for the wearer, relieve pain and inflammation in the toes, promote blood circulation through warmth, and accelerate the recovery of the toe area. The above technical solution improves the practicality of the corrector.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the raised portion 121 is provided with a connecting hole 8, which is used to fix the rear foot strap and further fix the toe corrector. Through the above solution, the toe corrector can be further fixed to prevent it from being dislocated during the user's movement.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary bracket 2 is provided with a clamping end 21, and the clamping ring 5 is provided with a clamping ring. The clamping end 21 is clamped in the clamping ring. The clamping end 21 is a circular clamping groove with a broken end, which is convenient for users to replace or install the auxiliary bracket 2.

[0045] The embodiments described above are only preferred implementation methods of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and modifications made by technicians in this field on the basis of the utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
