[0027] The following will be combined with the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figure 1~Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment proposes:

[0030] An adjustable external chest position fixator, comprising:

[0031] Two sets of symmetrically arranged guard plates, each set of guard plates includes two symmetrically arranged fixing plates 1, and the two fixing plates 1 of each set of guard plates are connected by a connecting component 2. A shoulder strap 3 is symmetrically fixed between the tops of the two sets of guard plates. A connecting ring 4 is fixed to the outer side of the two fixing plates 1 on the front side, and a strap 5 that cooperates with the connecting ring 4 is fixed to the outer side of the two fixing plates 1 on the rear side. The strap 5 is fixed with Velcro;

[0032] Positioning components 6, the positioning components 6 are respectively fixed to the ends of the two fixing plates 1 located on the front side, and the two fixing plates 1 located on the rear side are provided with positioning grooves that match the positioning components 6;

[0033] A through slot 8 is formed on the upper portion of the front wall of the two fixing plates 1 at the front side, and a baffle 9 is detachably fixed in the through slot 8 .

[0034] Protective cushions are fixed on the inner walls of the fixing plate 1 .

[0035] Ventilation holes 11 are formed through the fixing plates 1 .

[0036] In this embodiment, two sets of shields are provided to secure the patient's chest. The two fixing plates 1 that make up the shields are connected by a connecting assembly 2, which allows the shields' length to be adjusted to meet the needs of patients of different body types. The shoulder strap 3 facilitates the wearing of the device on the patient. The positioning assembly 6, in conjunction with the positioning slot, maintains the front and rear shields at the same height, facilitating initial installation and preventing misalignment that could result in poor fixation. The strap 5, in conjunction with the connecting ring 4, further secures the two shields. The distance between the two shields is adjustable, meeting the needs of patients of different body types. The through slot 8 is primarily designed for female patients. Due to the different physiological structures of men and women, using ordinary shields on female patients can compress their chests, causing discomfort. Therefore, the through slot 8 ensures a comfortable wearing experience for female patients. Male patients can install the baffle 9 within the through slot 8. The protective cushion provides a comfortable wearing experience for patients, and the ventilation holes 11 provide effective ventilation and enhance patient comfort.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, based on the same concept as the above embodiment 1, this embodiment further proposes:

[0039] The connecting assembly 2 includes a connecting rod 21, which is symmetrically fixed on one side of one of the fixed plates 1 of each group of guard plates. The side wall of the other fixed plate 1 of each group of guard plates is provided with a connecting groove 12 that matches the connecting rod 21. A threaded column 22 is fixed at the bottom of one end of the bottom connecting rod 21, and a nut 23 is screwed on the threaded column 22. A waist-shaped hole 13 is opened through the bottom wall of the connecting groove 12 at the bottom, and the threaded column 22 is slidably installed in the waist-shaped hole 13.

[0040] In this embodiment, the connecting assembly 2 is configured to adjust the length of the guard plate to meet the needs of patients of different body types. To adjust the guard plate length, the nut 23 is rotated to disengage the nut 23 from the bottom wall of the fixing plate 1. This allows the connecting rod 21 to be smoothly pulled to control the extension length of the connecting rod 21. After adjustment is complete, the nut 23 is rotated in the opposite direction to re-engage the nut 23 tightly against the bottom wall of the fixing plate 1, thereby completing the adjustment of the guard plate length.

[0041] The positioning assembly 6 includes a positioning rod 61, which is symmetrically fixed at the ends of the two fixed plates 1 on the front side. A mounting groove 62 is provided in the positioning rod 61, and a slide 63 is slidably installed in the mounting groove 62. A spring 64 is fixed between the slide 63 and the inner wall of the mounting groove 62. A top ball 65 is fixed at one end of the slide 63, and the top ball 65 slides through the outer wall of the positioning rod 61.

[0042] A plurality of positioning holes 7 for cooperating with the top balls 65 are symmetrically formed on the side wall of the positioning groove.

[0043] In this embodiment, the positioning assembly 6, in conjunction with the positioning slot, enables the front and rear guard plates to maintain the same height, while also facilitating the initial installation of the two guard plates. When the positioning assembly 6 is in use, the positioning rod 61 is inserted into the corresponding positioning slot. The top ball 65, squeezed by the positioning slot wall, moves toward the installation slot 62. As the positioning rod 61 is continuously inserted into the positioning slot, the top ball 65 snaps into the positioning hole 7. The top ball 65 can be snapped into the positioning hole 7 at the appropriate location based on the patient's body shape. The two sets of guard plates are then further secured together by the strap 5, the connecting ring 4, and Velcro.

[0044] The baffle 9 includes a mounting plate 91 , a blocking block 92 is fixed to one side of the mounting plate 91 , the blocking block 92 is consistent with the through slot 8 , and ear plates 93 are fixed to both ends of the blocking block 92 , and the ear plates 93 are fixed to the corresponding fixing plate 1 through threaded knobs 94 .

[0045] The fixing plate 1 is provided with a threaded hole 10 that matches the threaded knob 94 .

[0046] In this embodiment, when the baffle 9 is needed, the blocking block 92 is inserted into the through groove 8, and then the ear plate 93 is fixed in the corresponding threaded hole 10 by the provided threaded knob 94 to complete the installation of the baffle 9.

[0047] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
