Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a scoliosis correction brace. Background Art

[0002] Scoliosis is a common spinal deformity. It manifests as a sideways curve of the spine, creating a C- or S-shaped back. Currently, scoliosis is typically treated with a corrective brace.

[0003] At present, a Chinese patent discloses a scoliosis correction brace (authorization announcement number CN2191U). When used, the adjustment rod with the support guard plate and the brace are placed on the side of the scoliosis. Then, according to the height and body shape of the user, the knob stud is loosened to adjust the upper brace to the user's armpit position, the middle groove on the upper surface of the upper brace is placed under the user's armpit, and the lower brace is adjusted to the user's hip position. Then, the knob stud is tightened to fix the positions of the upper and lower braces. Then, one end of the tightening belt is passed through the hanging ring A and tightened, and the Velcro fur surface A at one end is adhered and fixed to the Velcro hook surface A, so that the braces on both sides of the user are tightened and fixed. Then, the adjusting stud is rotated to move the support guard plate inward to support the user's waist and abdomen, so that the support guard plate cooperates with the upper brace and lower brace opposite to it to form a triangular structure. The support guard plate provides mechanical support and correction to the scoliotic spine. When used in combination, the spine is stabilized and gradually corrected and recovered after long-term wearing.

[0004] According to the above reference materials, the knob studs and adjusting bolts are exposed under the user's armpits and sides of the body respectively. When the user is walking, running, or other exercises, the arm will also swing. During this process, the arm can easily collide with the exposed knob studs and adjusting bolts, which will not only affect the user's normal arm swinging movement, but in severe cases may even injure the arm, posing a safety hazard.

[0005] Therefore, a scoliosis correction brace is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

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.

[0022] When implementing: Figure 1-4 As shown, a scoliosis correction brace comprises: two groups of arc-shaped braces 1 and two support guards 4, each group of arc-shaped braces 1 having two, two double-sided Velcro strips 2 being installed between two arc-shaped braces 1 at the same height, a shoulder strap 3 being installed on the surface of one of the arc-shaped braces 1; two spacing adjustment mechanisms 5, the ends of the spacing adjustment mechanisms 5 being hinged to adjacent arc-shaped braces 1, and the support guards 4 being threadedly connected to the surfaces of the spacing adjustment mechanisms 5;

[0023] When the user needs to wear the scoliosis correction brace, the user needs to unfasten all the double-sided Velcro 2, and then fit the upper and lower arc-shaped braces 1 to the sides of the body below the armpits and near the hips respectively, and fit the support guard 4 to the sides of the waist and abdomen of the user, and then tighten all the double-sided Velcro 2 to fit them. At this time, the two adjacent double-sided Velcro 2 lock the arc-shaped brace 1 to the sides of the user's body, and finally carry the shoulder strap 3 on the user's shoulders. At this time, the support guard 4 cooperates with the upper and lower arc-shaped braces 1 on the opposite side to it to form a triangular structure. The support guard 4 provides mechanical support and correction to the scoliotic spine. With coordinated use, the spine is stabilized and gradually corrected and recovered after long-term wearing.

[0024] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the spacing adjustment mechanism 5 includes a mounting sleeve 51 and a sliding rod 52, the mounting sleeve 51 and the sliding rod 52 are respectively hinged to the surfaces of two adjacent arc-shaped supports 1, the top of the sliding rod 52 passes through the interior of the mounting sleeve 51 and is slidably connected to the mounting sleeve 51, one end of the mounting sleeve 51 is provided with a uniformly distributed first positioning hole 511, the surface of the sliding rod 52 is provided with a first mounting cavity 521 communicating with the adjacent first positioning hole 511, the interior of the first mounting cavity 521 is slidably connected with a first positioning block 53 plugged into the adjacent first positioning hole 511; the opening of the first positioning hole 511 facing away from the sliding rod 52 and the inner wall of the first positioning block 53 are rounded; the cross-sectional shapes of the first mounting cavity 521 and the first positioning block 53 are both convex, and the cross-sectional size of the first positioning block 53 set inside the first positioning hole 511 is smaller than the cross-sectional size of the first positioning block 53 set inside the first mounting cavity 521; a first rubber spring 54 is provided between the first mounting cavity 521 and the first positioning block 53, and the first rubber spring 54 is always in a compressed state;

[0025] When the user needs to adjust the distance between the upper and lower arc braces 1, the user only needs to press the first positioning block 53 into the first mounting cavity 521. At this time, there is no obstruction between the mounting sleeve 51 and the slide rod 52, and the user can slide the slide rod 52 normally. When the slide rod 52 extends out of the mounting sleeve 51 to a suitable length, the user only needs to align the first mounting cavity 521 with the corresponding first positioning hole 511. At this time, the first rubber spring 54 can pass the first positioning block 53 through the first mounting cavity 521 and plug it into the corresponding first positioning hole 511. When the slide rod 52 is firmly locked in the interior of the mounting sleeve 51, the distance between the upper and lower arc braces 1 is adjusted. Moreover, since the distance adjustment mechanism 5 adopts an embedded and hidden manner for adjustment, the surface of the mounting sleeve 51 has no sharp protrusions. Even if the user contacts the mounting sleeve 51 when swinging his arm, it will not hurt the user, thereby improving the safety factor of the user wearing the scoliosis correction brace.

[0027] When the user needs to adjust the position of the support guard plate 4, the user only needs to slide the support guard plate 4 with force, and the support guard plate 4 drives the threaded column 552 to slide through the threaded groove 41, and the threaded column 552 drives the sliding sleeve 551 to slide, and the sliding sleeve 551 drives the second positioning block 553 to slide through the second mounting cavity 5511, and the second positioning block 553 slides out of the second positioning port 512 along the inclined surface of the second positioning port 512. When the support guard plate 4 slides into place and the second mounting cavity 5511 is aligned with the corresponding second positioning port 512, the second rubber spring 554 quickly pushes the second positioning block 553 outward, and the second positioning block 553 is tightly clamped together with the corresponding second positioning port 512, locking the support guard plate 4 at the corresponding height.

[0028] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole.
