It is highly adjustable and comfortable, and is widely used in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and other places. The arm brace is a powerful and humanized medical device that can provide stable support and a comfortable experience for patients' arms.

[0003] Arm braces play an important role in medical care and rehabilitation, providing patients with necessary support and fixation. However, existing arm braces require patients to place their arms on top of the brace. If the patient's arm remains in one position for a long time, it can lead to obstructed local blood circulation. Poor blood circulation can affect the blood supply to various parts of the arm, causing local tissue ischemia and hypoxia, which may lead to a series of uncomfortable symptoms. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, when a patient's arm is in one position for a long time, it can lead to obstructed local blood circulation. Poor blood circulation can affect the blood supply to various parts of the arm, causing local tissue ischemia and hypoxia, which may lead to a series of uncomfortable symptoms. This utility model proposes an adjustable nursing arm support.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an adjustable nursing arm support, including a support body, the support body including a first base, a first arm support fixedly connected to the top of the first base, a second base installed on the back side of the first base, a second arm support fixedly connected to the top of the second base, and an angle adjustment mechanism provided at the bottom of the first base.

[0006] The angle adjustment mechanism includes a rotating column, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of a first base. A disc is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating column, and a positioning groove is formed in the inner cavity of the disc. The number of positioning grooves is several. A square seat is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating column. A recess is fixedly connected to the top of the square seat. A support column is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the recess. A rotating column is rotatably connected to the surface of the support column. A lifting block is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column. A locking block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting block and engages with the inside of the positioning groove.

[0007] Preferably, a handle is fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating column, and the handle is elongated.

[0008] Preferably, the surface of the support column is fitted with a torsion spring, and there are two torsion springs. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating column, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the concave block.

[0009] Preferably, an annular positioning plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the square base, and a bolt is threadedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the annular positioning plate.

[0010] Preferably, a column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second base, and a clamping plate is rotatably connected to the surface of the column, with the top of the clamping plate connecting to the bottom of the first base.

[0011] Preferably, the inner cavity of the first base is fixedly connected to a round rod, and there are two round rods.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] The following is combined with Figure 1-6 This application will be described in further detail.

[0026] This application discloses an adjustable nursing arm rest. (See also...) Figure 1-6 An adjustable nursing arm support includes a support body 1, the support body 1 includes a first base 101, a first arm support 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the first base 101, a second base 102 is installed on the back side of the first base 101, a second arm support 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the second base 102, and an angle adjustment mechanism 2 is provided at the bottom of the first base 101.

[0027] The angle adjustment mechanism 2 includes a rotating column 209, the top of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first base 101. A disc 210 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating column 209. A positioning groove 208 is provided in the inner cavity of the disc 210. There are several positioning grooves 208. A square seat 16 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating column 209. A recess 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the square seat 16. A support column 202 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the recess 201. A rotating column 203 is rotatably connected to the surface of the support column 202. A lifting block 206 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column 203. A locking block 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting block 206. The locking block 207 is locked into the inside of the positioning groove 208.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 Handles 205 are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating column 203. The handles 205 are long and narrow. By pressing down the handles 205, the rotating column 203 can be easily moved upward, thereby pulling the locking block 207 into the positioning groove 208, which facilitates the adjustment of the bracket angle.

[0029] Reference Figure 5 Two torsion springs 204 are fitted on the surface of the support column 202. One end of the torsion spring 204 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating column 203, and the other end of the torsion spring 204 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the concave block 201. By setting the torsion spring 204, the position of the rotating column 203 can be limited. After the handle 205 is released, the torsion spring 204 deforms and can quickly drive the rotating column 203 back to its original position.

[0030] Reference Figure 4 The bottom of the square base 16 is fixedly connected to an annular positioning plate 17. The bottom of the inner cavity of the annular positioning plate 17 is threaded with a bolt 3. The annular positioning plate 17 can be snapped onto the hospital bed, and the bolt 3 can be used to tighten the annular positioning plate 17, so that the annular positioning plate 17 is stably fixed on the hospital bed, avoiding the impact caused by the unstable fixation of the annular positioning plate 17.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The bottom of the second base 102 is fixedly connected to a column 15, and a locking plate 14 is rotatably connected to the surface of the column 15. The top of the locking plate 14 is connected to the bottom of the first base 101. Through the setting of the column 15, the locking plate 14 can rotate on the surface of the column 15. In use, the locking plate 14 can be completely rotated to the bottom of the column 15. Through the setting of the locking plate 14, the rotation angle of the second base 102 is effectively limited, avoiding the second base 102 from rotating too much and injuring the patient's arm.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Two round rods 8 are fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the first base 101. A block 7 is rotatably connected to the surface of the round rod 8. A square block 9 is fixedly connected to the back side of the block 7. The back side of the square block 9 is fixedly connected to the front side of the second base 102. By setting the round rod 8, the block 7 can drive the second base 102 to rotate around the round rod 8, which prevents the second base 102 from falling off during rotation. The square block 9 also provides a stable connection for the second base 102.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 Two concave blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the left side of the second arm support 5. A short rod 13 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the concave block 12. An elastic band 6 is rotatably connected to the surface of the short rod 13. The concave block 12 provides a support point for the rotation of the elastic band 6. At the same time, the short rod 13 allows the elastic band 6 to rotate on the surface of the short rod 13. The elastic band 6 can also fix the patient's arm and prevent the patient's arm from falling out of the second arm support 5 during use.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The right side of the second armrest 5 is fixedly connected to the first Velcro 10, and the other end of the elastic band 6 is fixedly connected to the second Velcro 11. The second Velcro 11 and the first Velcro 10 are adhesively connected. Through the cooperation of the first Velcro 10 and the second Velcro 11, the position of the elastic band 6 can be fixed, thereby stably fixing the patient's hand inside the second armrest 5.

[0035] Working principle: First, snap the annular positioning plate 17 onto the side of the hospital bed. After snapping, install the bolt 3 inside the annular positioning plate 17 and rotate the bolt 3 to fix the annular positioning plate 17. After fixing, place the arm inside the first arm support 4 and the second arm support 5. Then, pull the elastic band 6 to rotate on the surface of the short rod 13. When pulled to the appropriate position, attach the first Velcro 10 and the second Velcro 11. Then, rotate the clamping plate 14 to overlap with the first base 101, thus completing the arm support effect. When the angle needs to be adjusted, press the handle 205 to drive the rotating column 203 to rotate on the surface of the support column 202. The rotation of column 203 causes the torsion spring 204 to deform. The rotation of column 203 causes the lifting block 206 to move. The movement of lifting block 206 causes the locking block 207 to move until the locking block 207 is pulled out of the inner cavity of positioning groove 208, pushing the first base 101. The rotation of the first base 101 causes the rotating column 209 to rotate. The rotation of rotating column 209 causes the disc 210 to rotate. When the desired angle is reached, the handle 205 is released, the torsion spring 204 returns to its deformation, and the lifting block 206 moves. After the locking block 207 moves, it locks into the inner cavity of positioning groove 208, thereby fixing positioning groove 208 and rotating column 209.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
