Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary equipment technology, and in particular to a neck brace structure. Background Technology
[0002] A cervical collar is an auxiliary treatment device for cervical spondylosis. It can immobilize and protect the cervical spine, reduce nerve wear, alleviate traumatic reactions of the intervertebral joints, and help reduce tissue edema, consolidate therapeutic effects, and prevent recurrence. Cervical collars can be used for all types of cervical spondylosis, and are especially suitable for patients in the acute phase, particularly those with cervical disc herniation, sympathetic nerve type, and vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis.
[0003] Rigid neck braces are made of hard plastic, and some come with metal supports or adjusters. They provide greater fixation and restraint and are often used for the fixation of acute and severe neck injuries, such as cervical fractures and dislocations. Traditional neck braces consist of a combination of a front neck support plate and a back neck support plate.
[0004] Because users' necks vary in length and shape, neck braces can easily become mismatched, affecting their ability to secure the neck. If a patient wearing a neck brace is in bed and in relatively good physical condition, to improve comfort, the neck brace needs to be removed while lying down, leaving only the rear section on the bed. In this position, the rear section offers no support, making the neck prone to misalignment. Current clinical practice typically uses sandbags placed on either side of the neck for restraint; however, these sandbags are prone to deformation during support, causing further neck displacement. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a compatible neck brace to meet the needs of patients with neck injuries. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a neck support structure to solve the problem that the rear body of the neck support tends to shift when lying down, resulting in poor braking effect.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows: A neck support structure includes a combined front body and a rear body, which are detachably connected. An arc-shaped air pillow that fits the neck is installed on the front of the rear body. A first inflation limiting bag and a second inflation limiting bag are detachably connected to the left and right sides of the back of the rear body, respectively. After inflation, the bottom of the first inflation limiting bag and the second inflation limiting bag are horizontal with the lowest point of the rear body, forming a braking pad that can limit the C-shaped groove of the rear body.
[0007] Preferably, the cross-sections of the first and second inflatable limiting bags are right-angled triangles, and the inclined surfaces match the arc shape of the rear body.
[0008] Preferably, the first inflatable limiting bag and the second inflatable limiting bag are movably connected to the left and right sides of the back of the main body of the rear piece via Velcro.
[0009] Preferably, the first and second inflatable limiting bags are respectively provided with air nozzles for ventilation.
[0010] Preferably, the front panel body includes a first arc plate and a second arc plate formed by splicing them together, and the first arc plate and the second arc plate are respectively provided with a plurality of connecting holes; an arc-shaped middle plate is installed in the middle of the front panel body to cooperate with it, and a plurality of adjustment holes are provided on the upper and lower parts of the arc-shaped middle plate, and the plurality of adjustment holes correspond to the connecting holes and are connected by screws.
[0011] Preferably, an arc-shaped connecting plate is installed in front of the arc-shaped intermediate plate, and elastic bands are installed on both sides of the arc-shaped connecting plate.
[0012] Preferably, the first arc plate and the second arc plate are provided with a plurality of ventilation holes.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] (1) A first and second inflatable limiting bag, which can be detachably installed, are used on both sides of the back of the rear body to restrict the deflection of the rear body, so that the rear body forms a stable C-groove braking pad. When lying down, it can quickly limit the movement and prevent displacement, so that the rear body is firmly placed on the hospital bed, which facilitates the fixation and support of the patient's neck, and also improves the patient's comfort. Using the neck support structure of this application, when the neck is upright, it can not only provide stable support and braking, but also does not need to be removed when lying down, and can be directly assembled into a neck braking pad that can be used on the bed.
[0015] (2) The neck brace structure adopts a combined front body and a rear body. The front body is formed by splicing the first arc plate and the second arc plate to form a front body that can be adjusted left and right. It can achieve fine adjustment of the circumference of the front body and the rear body to ensure compatibility for different groups of people. Attached Figure Description

[0021] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, specific embodiments are provided below, and the utility model will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0022] See Figures 1-3 A neck support structure includes a combined front body 1 and a rear body 2, which are detachably connected. An arc-shaped air pillow 21 that fits the neck is installed on the front of the rear body 2. A first inflation limiting bag 4 and a second inflation limiting bag 5 are detachably connected to the left and right sides of the back of the rear body 2, respectively. After inflation, the bottom of the first inflation limiting bag 4 and the second inflation limiting bag 5 are horizontal with the lowest point of the rear body 2, which can support the rear sides of the rear body 2, forming an air pillow that limits the rear body 2, and forming a C-shaped groove braking pad that limits the rear body 2.
[0023] Specifically, the cross-section of the first inflatable limiting bag 4 and the second inflatable limiting bag 5 is a right-angled triangle, and the inclined surface matches the arc shape of the rear body 2. The cross-section of the first inflatable limiting bag 4 and the second inflatable limiting bag 5 is an irregular right-angled triangle, and its inclined surface is arc-shaped, which is a pad structure that can stably limit the neck when lying down.
[0024] Specifically, the first inflatable limiting bag 4 and the second inflatable limiting bag 5 are movably connected to the left and right sides of the back of the rear body 2 via Velcro 7. The back of the rear body 2 has Velcro loops on both sides, and the first inflatable limiting bag 4 and the second inflatable limiting bag 5 are connected to the left and right sides of the back of the rear body 2 via Velcro hooks.
[0025] Specifically, the first inflation limiting bag 4 and the second inflation limiting bag 5 are respectively equipped with air nozzles 6. The air nozzles 6 are connected to an inflation device for inflation, such as an air pump, to form a supporting air cushion.
[0026] Specifically, the front body 1 includes a first arc plate 11 and a second arc plate 12 formed by splicing together. The first arc plate 11 and the second arc plate 12 are respectively provided with a number of connecting holes. An arc-shaped middle plate 13 is installed in the middle of the front body 1 to cooperate with it. A number of adjustment holes 131 are provided on the upper and lower parts of the arc-shaped middle plate 13. The number of adjustment holes 131 correspond to the connecting holes and are connected by screws 132.
[0027] Specifically, an arc-shaped connecting plate 14 is installed on the front of the arc-shaped middle plate 13, and elastic bands 3 are installed on both sides of the arc-shaped connecting plate 14. The elastic bands 3 on both sides are connected by Velcro. This facilitates the disassembly and installation of the front body 1 and the rear body 2, and allows adjustment of the circumference of the front body 1 and the rear body 2 to match patients with different neck sizes.
[0028] Specifically, the first arc plate 11 and the second arc plate 12 are provided with several ventilation holes 15. This makes the neck brace structure breathable and improves comfort.
[0029] The working principle and usage of this utility model's neck brace structure are as follows: In use, the combined front body 1 and rear body 2 are fixed to the front and back of the patient's neck. The curvature of the front body and the combined circumference of the front body 1 and rear body 2 are adjusted via the adjustment hole 131 to suit patients with different neck sizes. The rear body 2 and its curved air pillow 21 provide elastic support to the patient's neck, preventing mechanical injury and improving patient comfort. When the patient is in bed and in relatively good physical condition, the neck brace can be opened while lying down to further enhance comfort. Therefore, before lying down, the first inflatable limiting bag 4 and the second inflatable limiting bag 5 are fixed to both ends of the back of the rear body 2 using Velcro. Then, the front body 1 of the neck brace is removed, leaving the rear body 2 at the back of the patient's neck. At this time, the first inflatable limiting bag 4 and the second inflatable limiting bag 5 connected by Velcro 7 are inflated and supported on both sides of the back of the rear body 2, preventing the C-shaped rear body 2 from easily deflecting when lying down, thus providing support for the rear body 2, thereby limiting and supporting the patient's neck, and fixing the support on both sides of the neck, which is conducive to the patient lying down.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
