Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an improved protractor. Background Technology
[0002] An orthopedic goniometer is a medical device used to measure joint angles and assess range of motion, commonly found in orthopedics and rehabilitation medicine. It typically consists of two adjustable arms that can be fixed at the joint to measure changes in angle. Using an orthopedic goniometer helps doctors better assess a patient's joint function, monitor rehabilitation progress, and develop appropriate treatment plans.
[0003] However, existing improved protractors have the following drawbacks:
[0004] When needed, medical staff need to tighten the fixing bolts to secure the measuring tape, which is a rather cumbersome process.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides an improved protractor. Utility Model Content
[0006] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0007] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide an improved protractor that is highly practical, easy to operate, and has a simple structure. This solves the problem mentioned in the background art, where medical personnel need to constantly tighten the fixing bolts to fix the measuring ruler when needed, which is a rather cumbersome process.
[0008] (II) Technical Solution
[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an improved protractor, comprising a first measuring ruler, a protractor fixedly mounted on one end of the first measuring ruler, a first mounting plate fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the protractor, internal teeth fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the first mounting plate, a locking block engaged on one side of the internal teeth, and a locking spring fixedly mounted on one end of the locking block.
[0010] Optionally, a rotating shaft is fixedly installed at one end of the snap-fit spring, and a second mounting plate is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating shaft. The second mounting plate serves to install the rotating shaft and thus the snap-fit spring.
[0011] Optionally, a pointer is fixedly mounted on one end of the second mounting plate, and a second measuring scale is fixedly mounted on the other end of the second mounting plate. The second measuring scale facilitates the measurement of the angle of the patient's lower limb.
[0012] Optionally, a first scale line is provided on one side of the first measuring ruler, which facilitates the measurement of the patient's thigh length.
[0013] Optionally, a second scale line is provided on one side of the second measuring ruler, which facilitates the measurement of the patient's lower leg length.
[0014] Optionally, a third scale line is provided on one side of the protractor, which serves to measure the bending angle between the patient's lower leg and thigh.
[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] This utility model provides an improved protractor, which has the following advantages:
[0017] This improved protractor, through the design of internal teeth, a locking block, a locking spring, and a rotating shaft, allows medical personnel to pull the pointer out of the first measuring scale during use. Simultaneously, the locking block compresses the locking spring, which, based on the angle between the first and second measuring scales, engages with the locking block at the corresponding position of the internal teeth, thus limiting and fixing the second measuring scale. After use, the second measuring scale can be stored back into the first measuring scale, and the engagement of the locking block with the internal teeth further secures the second measuring scale, preventing it from swinging randomly and potentially bumping into medical personnel, thus avoiding skin swelling.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an improved protractor, including a first measuring scale 1, a protractor 2 fixedly mounted at one end of the first measuring scale 1, a first mounting plate 3 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the protractor 2, internal teeth 4 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the first mounting plate 3, a locking block 5 engaged on one side of the internal teeth 4, and a locking spring 6 fixedly mounted at one end of the locking block 5. Through the arrangement of the internal teeth 4, the locking block 5, the locking spring 6, and the rotating shaft 7, medical personnel can adjust the second measuring scale by moving the pointer 9 during use. Ruler 10 is pulled out from the first measuring ruler 1. At the same time, the locking block 5 compresses the locking spring 6, so that according to the angle between the first measuring ruler 1 and the second measuring ruler 10, the locking spring 6 locks the locking block 5 into the corresponding position of the internal tooth 4, thereby limiting and fixing the second measuring ruler 10. After use, the second measuring ruler 10 can be stored in the first measuring ruler 1, and the second measuring ruler 10 is fixed by the engagement of the locking block 5 and the internal tooth 4, so as to prevent the second measuring ruler 10 from swinging randomly and bumping into medical staff, thus causing skin swelling.
[0025] A rotating shaft 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the snap-fit spring 6, and a second mounting plate 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating shaft 7. The second mounting plate 8 serves to install the rotating shaft 7 and thus install the snap-fit spring 6.
[0026] A pointer 9 is fixedly installed at one end of the second mounting plate 8, and a second measuring scale 10 is fixedly installed at the other end of the second mounting plate 8. The setting of the second measuring scale 10 facilitates the measurement of the angle of the patient's lower limb.
[0027] The first measuring ruler 1 has a first scale line 11 on one side, which facilitates the measurement of the patient's thigh length.
[0028] The second measuring ruler 10 has a second scale line 12 on one side, which facilitates the measurement of the patient's lower leg length.
[0029] The protractor 2 has a third scale line 13 on one side, which is used to measure the bending angle between the patient's lower leg and thigh.
[0030] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:
[0031] First step: When using the device, the medical staff first moves the pointer 9 to pull the second measuring scale 10 out of the first measuring scale 1. At the same time, the locking block 5 compresses the locking spring 6, so that according to the angle between the first measuring scale 1 and the second measuring scale 10, the locking spring 6 locks the locking block 5 into the corresponding position of the internal teeth 4, thereby limiting and fixing the second measuring scale 10.
[0032] The second step: After use, the second measuring scale 10 can be stored in the first measuring scale 1, and the second measuring scale 10 can be fixed by the engagement of the locking block 5 and the internal teeth 4 to prevent the second measuring scale 10 from swinging randomly and bumping into medical staff, which could cause skin swelling.
[0033] It should be noted that the device structure and accompanying drawings of this utility model mainly describe the principle of this utility model.
