Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of prostheses, in particular to a 3D printed forearm prosthesis. Background Art

[0002] Upper limb amputees are often advised or self-request an upper limb prosthesis to improve the appearance and function of their lost limb. An upper limb prosthesis is an external device that replaces the function and appearance of a lost limb. Existing forearm fabrication technology is inefficient and inaccurate. Most forearm prostheses are still manufactured using the traditional process of taking a plaster cast, shaping the positive mold, molding with a high-temperature thermoplastic sheet (or resin), fitting the patient, fitting, and finally delivery. The fabrication and fitting process is cumbersome, and the comfort and success rate of the prosthesis are highly dependent on the prosthetist's clinical experience and skills. Inexperienced technicians can not only result in poor prosthetic quality and poor fit, extending the required fitting time, but also lead to skin abrasion, inflammation, and swelling. Traditional prosthesis fabrication also requires extensive machining equipment, such as a plaster shaping table and tools, a high-temperature thermoplastic heating box, an air compressor, grinding and polishing components, and a bench and tools.

[0003] A forearm prosthetic receiving cavity is disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent application disclosure specification CN210019815U. Although the device contacts the arm over a large area through the restraint sleeve, so that the restraint sleeve can be connected to the arm more stably, and the arm is also less oppressed because the contact area between the restraint sleeve and the arm is relatively large, the existing device does not solve the problem that when a patient with a disabled arm installs the prosthetic hand alone, it is inconvenient for the patient to install the prosthetic hand with the inner and outer receiving cavities due to the patient's one-handed operation. When the patient wears the inner and outer receiving cavities, the ventilation holes are easily blocked by impurities such as dust and the inner and outer receiving cavities are too sweaty, causing the inner and outer receiving cavities and the upper artificial leather to be soaked in sweat for a long time, thereby reducing the service life or polluting their color. Therefore, we propose a new device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0017] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of the utility model are:

[0018] 1. The utility model has a reasonable structure. A digital model of the patient's forearm stump is obtained through CT scanning. The healthy forearm is scanned with a handheld scanner, and the shape of the stump is obtained by mirroring. It is digitally and accurately manufactured to improve the comfort of the prosthetic receiving cavity and the appearance of the prosthesis. The inner and outer receiving cavities are integrated to reduce the overall weight of the prosthesis and reduce the risk of damage. The ventilation holes can be used for ventilation when the patient wears it, which is convenient for perspiration and increases the patient's wearing comfort. The cover plate is separated from the inner and outer receiving cavities, and the maintenance hole is used to facilitate the maintenance and adjustment of the prosthesis. After the inner and outer receiving cavities are fixed to the position of the patient's stump, the prosthetic hand and the bolts are connected, and then the prosthetic hand is inserted into the inner and outer receiving cavities. The bolts of the prosthetic hand are moved toward the inner and outer receiving cavities so that the bolts push the baffle open and the bolts are on. After the end protrusion is separated from the baffle, the push plate is brought into contact with the lower end thread of the bolt through the spring telescopic rod, so that the bolt cannot be lowered, thereby initially positioning and fixing the prosthetic hand. Then, by rotating the forward and reverse threaded screw, the left clamp is moved to the right, and the right clamp is moved to the left at the same time, so that the left clamp and the right clamp clamp the bolt and fix it, and at the same time, the prosthetic hand is fixed to the inner and outer receiving cavities. This solves the problem that when patients with arm disability install the prosthetic hand alone, it is inconvenient for the patient to install the prosthetic hand with the inner and outer receiving cavities due to one-handed operation. The effect of first inserting the prosthetic hand into the inner and outer receiving cavities to initially fix it and then fixing the prosthetic hand by rotating the forward and reverse threaded screw is achieved, which greatly reduces the situation where the prosthetic hand cannot be installed due to one-handed operation.

[0019] 2. In the utility model, the bevel gear is rotated to drive the fixed screw to rotate by rotating the convex gear, and the fixed screw is rotated to move the movable seat and the cleaning structure downward. The cleaning structure can clean the ventilation hole and absorb the sweat inside the inner and outer receiving cavities at the same time, solving the problem that the ventilation holes are easily blocked by dust and other impurities when the patients wear the inner and outer receiving cavities and the inner and outer receiving cavities and the upper artificial leather are soaked in sweat for a long time, thereby reducing the service life or polluting their color. The cleaning structure can be moved up and down to absorb the sweat inside the inner and outer receiving cavities and clear the blockage of the ventilation holes, thereby greatly enhancing the service life of the inner and outer receiving cavities and the upper artificial leather.

[0020] 3. In the present invention, the restraint is loosened by loosening the adjusting bolt, and then the restraint is passed through the docking buckle and the buckle seat, and the docking buckle is inserted into the buckle seat to limit the restraint. The external receiving cavity is brought into contact with the patient's forearm residual limb, and then the restraint is tightened by rotating the adjusting bolt until the patient's forearm residual limb is tightened to fix the external receiving cavity to the patient's forearm residual limb, and then the adjusting bolt is tightened to fix the adjusting bolt. When the external receiving cavity is used in winter, the restraint is loosened by loosening the adjusting bolt, and then the restraint is put on the patient's shoulder, and the restraint is tightened by rotating the adjusting bolt, and then the adjusting bolt is tightened to fix the adjusting bolt. This solves the problem that the external receiving cavity is easily detached due to shaking when the patient wears the forearm prosthesis in daily life, and that the restraint is easily fixed to the shoulder by the restraint in summer because most clothes are short-sleeved. The problem of affecting the wearing aesthetics is solved by wearing the restraint on the patient's shoulder in winter to reduce the weight of the patient's forearm residual limb, and fixing the restraint by docking buckles and buckle seats in summer to tighten and fix the restraint to the patient's forearm residual limb, which greatly reduces the situation of forearm prosthesis falling off. By making the patient's forearm residual limb contact with the heat conducting seat, the heat inside the heat conducting seat is discharged into the heat dissipation phosphor through the heat conducting pipe, and then the heat is discharged through the air vents through the heat dissipation phosphor, which solves the problem that when wearing a forearm prosthesis in summer, the temperature of the patient's forearm residual limb is too high due to the high external temperature, which affects the patient's wearing experience. The effect of conducting heat between the patient's forearm residual limb and the wearing position of the forearm prosthesis is achieved, which greatly enhances the patient's experience when wearing the forearm prosthesis.

[0030] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the interior of the inner and outer receiving cavities 1 is fixedly connected with a fixed seat 13, and the upper interior of the fixed seat 13 is rotatably connected with a fixed screw 14. The upper surface of the fixed screw 14 is fixedly connected with a bevel gear 15, and the surface of the bevel gear 15 is meshed with a convex gear 16. A hole is provided near the upper part of the back of the inner and outer receiving cavities 1, and the inner and outer receiving cavities 1 are rotatably connected with the convex gear 16 through the hole.

The effect of heat dissipation between the patient's forearm stump and the wearing position of the forearm prosthesis is achieved, which greatly enhances the patient's experience when wearing the forearm prosthesis.

[0032] Working principle of this utility model:

[0033] During use, a digital model of the patient's forearm stump is first obtained through CT scanning, and the healthy forearm is scanned with a handheld scanner, and the shape of the stump side is obtained by mirroring. It is digitally and accurately made to improve the comfort of the prosthetic receiving cavity and the appearance of the prosthesis. The inner and outer receiving cavities 1 are integrated to reduce the overall weight of the prosthesis and reduce the risk of damage. The air vents 3 can be used for ventilation when the patient wears it, which is convenient for perspiration and increases the patient's wearing comfort. By separating the cover plate 4 from the inner and outer receiving cavities 1, the maintenance hole is used to facilitate the maintenance and adjustment of the prosthesis. After the inner and outer receiving cavities 1 are fixed in the position of the patient's stump, the prosthetic hand 12 and the screw are screwed together. The bolt 11 is connected, and then the prosthetic hand 12 is inserted into the inner and outer receiving cavity 1. The prosthetic hand 12 moves into the inner and outer receiving cavity 1 through the bolts 11, so that the bolts 11 push the baffle 6 open. After the upper end convex block of the bolt 11 is separated from the baffle, the push plate 6 is made to contact the lower end thread of the bolt 11 through the spring telescopic rod 5, so that the bolt 11 cannot fall, thereby preliminarily positioning and fixing the prosthetic hand 12.

By rotating The convex gear 16 rotates the bevel gear 15 to drive the fixed screw 14 to rotate, and by rotating the fixed screw 14, the movable seat 18 and the cleaning structure 19 are moved downward, and the vent hole 3 can be cleaned by the cleaning structure 19 while the sweat inside the inner and outer receiving cavities 1 is adsorbed. When using the forearm prosthesis in summer, the restraint 22 is loosened by loosening the adjusting bolt 21, and then the restraint 22 is passed through the docking buckle 27 and the buckle seat 25, and the docking buckle 27 is inserted into the buckle seat 25 to limit the restraint 22. By contacting the outer receiving cavity 1 with the patient's forearm stump and then rotating the adjusting bolt 21, the restraint 22 is loosened. The restraint belt 22 is tightened until the patient's forearm stump is tightened to fix the external receiving cavity 1 on the patient's forearm stump, and then the adjusting bolt 21 is tightened to fix the adjusting bolt 21.
