Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to an auxiliary device for elderly knee joint health care. Background Art

[0002] The knee joint is one of the largest and most complex joints in the human body, and its health has an important impact on the quality of life of the elderly. Knee joint diseases such as knee osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are particularly common among the elderly, so rehabilitation is needed; existing rehabilitation devices cannot improve the firmness of the installation of the protective cover, that is, they cannot prevent it from falling off when walking, and they cannot improve warmth by heating water without affecting normal walking.

[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a knee joint protector suitable for rheumatoid arthritis (authorization announcement number CN217611667U). This patented technology locks the anti-slip belt in the anti-slip component to the connecting sleeve through a connecting bolt, thereby fixing the anti-slip ring and the sleeve body together. Then, the limiting rope is tightened and its two ends are tied together to fix the anti-slip ring to the leg, which can prevent the sleeve body from falling off when the user walks. The first pipe cover in the warming component is removed and hot water is added to the warming bag through the water inlet pipe and the first pipe cover is tightened. In this way, the heat generated by the hot water in the warming bag can effectively warm the user's knees, thereby improving the warming effect and not affecting the user's free movement.

[0004] However, it has certain disadvantages: the warming bag is fixed to the warming pad by a mounting rod, a mounting block, and a mounting nut. Therefore, when the water in the warming bag needs to be replaced, if it is not removed and added directly, the splashing hot water may easily scald the user. If it is disassembled, the entire protective cover needs to be removed first, and then the mounting nut is loosened to remove the warming bag. The operation is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the hot water in the warming bag cannot be replaced quickly. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary device for elderly knee joint health care to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: the fixing mechanism includes an elastic sleeve, and a fixing belt is installed on the left surface of the elastic sleeve.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: the positioning mechanism includes a ratchet and a pawl, the right end of the pawl is internally connected to a positioning rod, and a spring is installed on the front surface of the pawl, a positioning block is installed on the front end of the spring, and a pull rod is installed on the left side of the spring on the front surface of the pawl.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention, the upper end of the storage rod movably passes through the upper surface of the storage seat.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: one end of the fixing belt is installed on the left side surface of the support plate.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: the ratchet is installed on the outside of the storage rod, and the lower ends of the positioning rod and the positioning block are both installed on the upper surface of the storage seat.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] 1. The utility model uses the heat of hot water in the warming bag to nourish the knee joints. The elastic sleeves in the upper and lower fixing mechanisms are respectively mounted on the outside of the user's thighs and calves, which improves the stability of the entire device and prevents the warming bag from falling off when the user walks.

[0015] 2. The utility model is provided with a positioning mechanism, in which a pawl clamps the ratchet wheel so that the elastic band will not loosen. By pulling the pull rod to drive the pawl away from the ratchet wheel, the storage rod can be rotated counterclockwise to release the elastic band. In this way, the support plate can be opened, making it convenient to remove the warming bag, thereby facilitating the replacement of hot water in the warming bag. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0021] See also Figure 1 In an embodiment of the utility model, an auxiliary device for elderly knee joint health care includes a support plate 1, a warming bag 2 is installed on the right surface of the support plate 1, and an elastic belt 3 is installed on the rear end of the support plate 1, and fixing mechanisms 4 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the support plate 1. The fixing mechanism 4 includes an elastic sleeve 5, and a fixing belt 6 is installed on the left surface of the elastic sleeve 5. One end of the fixing belt 6 is installed on the left surface of the support plate 1, and the right surface of the support plate 1 is located on the upper and lower sides of the warming bag 2. Support blocks 7 are installed;

[0022] The upper surface of the warming bag 2 is equipped with an interface for replacing hot water;

[0023] The warming bag 2 is movably placed between the two support blocks 7 and contains hot water. The right side of the warming bag is in contact with the knee joint of the elderly to keep the elderly's knee joint warm.

[0024] The elastic belt 3 is used to fix the support plate 1 at the knee; the upper and lower elastic sleeves 5 are respectively mounted on the outside of the thigh and the outside of the calf to improve the firmness of the installation of the entire device.

[0025] exist Figures 1 to 4 Middle: A storage seat 8 is installed on the front surface of the support plate 1, and a storage rod 9 is rotatably connected to the inner lower surface of the storage seat 8. The upper end of the storage rod 9 movably passes through the upper surface of the storage seat 8. A positioning mechanism 10 is provided on the upper surface of the storage seat 8. The positioning mechanism 10 includes a ratchet 11 and a pawl 12. The ratchet 11 is installed on the outside of the storage rod 9. The right end of the pawl 12 is internally rotatably connected to a positioning rod 13, and a spring 14 is installed on the front surface of the pawl 12. A positioning block 15 is installed at the front end of the spring 14. The lower ends of the positioning rod 13 and the positioning block 15 are both installed on the upper surface of the storage seat 8. The front surface of the pawl 12 is located on the left side of the spring 14 and a pull rod 16 is installed.

[0026] By rotating the storage rod 9 clockwise, the elastic band 3 can be stored to securely fix the warming bag 2 at the knee.

[0027] The pawl 12 grabs the ratchet 11, preventing the ratchet 11 from rotating counterclockwise and preventing it from loosening. By pulling the pull rod 16 to move the pawl 12 away from the ratchet 11, the storage rod 9 can be rotated counterclockwise to release the elastic band 3, so that the support plate 1 and the elastic band 3 are opened away from the knees, making it easy to remove the warming bag 2 and replace the hot water therein.

[0028] The working principle of the present invention is: when in use, the user first puts on the upper elastic sleeve 5 on the leg, then puts on the support plate 1 and the elastic band 3, and finally puts on the upper and lower elastic sleeves 5, puts the upper elastic sleeve 5 on the thigh, puts the support plate 1 and the elastic band 3 on the knee, rotates the storage rod 9 clockwise to tighten the elastic band 3 so that the warming bag 2 fits the knee, and finally puts the lower elastic sleeve 5 on the calf, so that the heat of the hot water in the warming bag 2 can be used to recuperate the knee joints of the elderly; when the hot water in the warming bag 2 needs to be replaced, the user can pull the pull rod 16 to drive the pawl 12 away from the ratchet 11, and then rotate the storage rod 9 counterclockwise to release the elastic band 3, open the support plate 1, and remove the warming bag 2, so that the hot water in the warming bag 2 can be replaced.
