DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0023] See also Figures 1-4 The present application provides a bionic mechanical intervertebral disc support, comprising a support member 1 and a massage member 2.

[0024] The supporting member 1 includes a rear bionic supporting piece 11 and a front bionic supporting piece 12, both of which are provided with an adjustable connecting piece A13 and an adjustable connecting piece B14 on their sides and tops respectively;

[0025] The massage component 2 includes an air bag 21 provided on the inner side of the rear bionic support plate 11 . The air bag 21 is connected to an air pipe 22 . A vacuum pump 23 for inflation or suction is installed at the end of the air pipe 22 .

[0026] In this embodiment, the positions of the rear bionic support sheet 11 and the front bionic support sheet 12 are adjusted using the adjustable connector A13 and the adjustable connector B14, so that the rear bionic support sheet 11 and the front bionic support sheet 12 can fix and support the waist of people with different body shapes.

[0027] When the brace is not needed, the adjustable connector A13 is used to slightly increase the distance between the rear bionic support plate 11 and the front bionic support plate 12, and the vacuum pump 23 is used to repeatedly inflate and exhaust the airbag 21 through the trachea 22 to achieve pneumatic massage of the waist. This design enables the present application to have a massage function.

[0028] It should be noted that the vacuum pump 23 is a rechargeable air pump that can both inflate and inhale air.

[0029] There are two adjustable connectors A13, each comprising a strap 131 secured to the rear bionic support plate 11. A U-shaped notch 121 is provided on the side of the front bionic support plate 12 for the strap 131 to pass through. A Velcro hook surface A132 and a Velcro loop surface A133, each capable of adhering to one another, are secured to the outer walls of the strap 131. Specifically, the Velcro hook surface A132 and the Velcro loop surface A133 are attached by the strap 131 passing through the U-shaped notch 121. This design facilitates quick adjustment of the spacing between the front bionic support plate 12 and the rear bionic support plate 11 based on waist width.

[0030] The strap 131 is provided with vent holes A1311 at equal intervals. Specifically, the design of the vent holes A1311 facilitates increasing the breathability of the strap 131 as much as possible while fixing, thereby increasing the comfort of the fixation.

[0031] There are two adjustable connectors B14, each comprising a shoulder strap 141 secured to the top of the rear bionic support plate 11 and a buckle 142 secured to the outside of the top of the front bionic support plate 12. The outer surfaces of the rear bionic support plate 11 are provided with a Velcro hook surface B143 and a Velcro loop surface B144, respectively. After the rear bionic support plate 11 passes through the buckle 142, the Velcro hook surface B143 and the Velcro loop surface B144 can adhere to each other. Specifically, the shoulder strap 141 passes through the buckle 142 to achieve the adhesion of the Velcro hook surface B143 and the Velcro loop surface B144. This design facilitates indirect fixation of the front bionic support plate 12 and the rear bionic support plate 11 to the shoulder, ensuring stability in use of the brace.

[0032] The rear bionic support sheet 11 is designed to mimic the human waist curve and has equidistantly spaced ventilation holes B111. Specifically, the ventilation holes B111 are designed to maximize the ventilation performance of the rear bionic support sheet 11 while ensuring fixation, thereby increasing the comfort of fixation.

[0033] The airbag 21 is fixed to the inner side of the airbag 21 and is provided with avoidance openings 211 at equal intervals corresponding to the vent holes B111. Specifically, the fixed position of the airbag 21 with the avoidance openings 211 does not affect the function of the vent holes B111.

[0034] The front bionic support sheet 12 is designed in a curved elliptical shape and fits the abdomen of the human body. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shapes of the front bionic support plate 12 and the rear bionic support plate 11 of the present application can respectively be designed in accordance with the waist curve, so as to provide a more fitting fixed support for the lumbar spine.

[0035] When using this application:

[0036] The strap 131 is passed through the U-shaped notch 121 to achieve the adhesion of the Velcro hook surface A132 and the Velcro fleece surface A133, which is convenient for quickly adjusting the distance between the front bionic support plate 12 and the rear bionic support plate 11 according to the waist width; the shoulder strap 141 is passed through the buckle 142 to achieve the adhesion of the Velcro hook surface B143 and the Velcro fleece surface B144, which is convenient for indirectly fixing the front bionic support plate 12 and the rear bionic support plate 11 to the shoulders, thereby achieving the stability of the brace.

[0037] When the brace is not needed, the adjustable connector A13 is used to slightly increase the distance between the rear bionic support plate 11 and the front bionic support plate 12, and the vacuum pump 23 is used to repeatedly inflate and exhaust the airbag 21 through the trachea 22 to achieve pneumatic massage of the waist. This design enables the present application to have a massage function.

[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present application is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present application can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present application. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included therein. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
