Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of physiotherapy equipment technology, and more specifically to a portable foldable physiotherapy auxiliary chair. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living conditions have improved, more and more people are paying attention to their health, and physiotherapy has gradually come into people's view. Physiotherapy is a method that uses artificial or natural physical factors to act on the human body to produce a beneficial response, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing and treating diseases. It is an important part of rehabilitation therapy. Common methods include acupuncture, cupping, scraping, traction, massage, hammer therapy, and bone setting, etc.
[0003] The applicant frequently provides free charitable physiotherapy services at senior community activity centers, and has found that there are no suitable physiotherapy chairs available. When performing procedures such as acupuncture, cupping, scraping, hammer therapy, and bone setting, the recipient needs to sit prone with their back bent or tilted. However, the only available chairs are those with backrests, which are uncomfortable for the recipients and difficult for the medical staff to use. The physiotherapy chairs in the applicant's clinic are also large, heavy, and inconvenient to carry. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art and provide a portable foldable physiotherapy auxiliary chair that is lightweight yet safe and stable, and can be folded freely and conveniently for carrying.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: A portable foldable physiotherapy auxiliary chair, characterized in that it includes a front reclining rod and a rear reclining rod arranged in parallel and separate positions. A pair of left-right parallel and separate front uprights are connected to the front reclining rod. An upper front shaft and a lower front shaft are arranged in parallel and separate positions between the two front uprights. An upper front shaft sleeve is fitted onto the upper front shaft, and a lower front shaft sleeve is fitted onto the lower front shaft. A pair of left-right parallel and separate diagonal support rods are connected to the upper front shaft sleeve. The other ends of the two diagonal support rods are connected to the rear reclining rod. An upper-lower parallel and separate position is arranged between the two diagonal support rods. The rear upper shaft and rear lower shaft are arranged separately. A rear upper shaft sleeve is fitted on the rear upper shaft, and a rear lower shaft sleeve is fitted on the rear lower shaft. A telescopic rod is connected between the front lower shaft sleeve and the rear lower shaft sleeve. A single-point locking mechanism is provided on the telescopic rod. A pair of left and right parallel and separate support rods are connected to the rear upper shaft sleeve. A cushion is supported on the two support rods. A support rod is hinged to the free end of each support rod. A pair of left and right parallel and separate rear uprights are provided on the rear horizontal shaft. The two support rods and the two rear uprights can be inserted and connected one-to-one. A U-shaped cushion is provided on the two front uprights.
[0006] The patient needs to sit prone with their back bent or tilted. The seat cushion needs to be spaced apart from the prone cushion, so two diagonal support rods push the seat cushion outward away from the prone cushion. To facilitate folding, one end of the diagonal support rod needs to be hinged to ensure movement, but this loses support. Therefore, a telescopic rod is needed to achieve triangular stability. The telescopic rod not only needs to be hinged at both ends to ensure movement, but it also needs to be able to extend and retract to compress and change triangular stability. The folding of the entire chair frame is as described above.
[0007] The support frame that lifts up the seat cushion also takes up a lot of space, so it also needs to be designed as a folding structure. One end of the support rod needs to be hinged to ensure movement, and the other end is supported by the support rod. The support rod also needs to be hinged to ensure movement, and the other end needs to be supported and positioned by the rear upright tube. However, the two need to be independently disassembled and only need to be connected together.
[0008] Finally, the prone mat has a U-shaped structure, which conforms to the ergonomics of the human prone position.
[0009] Preferably, each of the front uprights is fitted with an extension tube, and each extension tube is equipped with a multi-point locking mechanism between itself and its corresponding front upright. A top beam connects the upper free ends of two extension tubes, and a lying pad is placed on the top beam. Different people have different heights, especially different torso lengths, and different people require different levels of support when lying down. Therefore, the lying pad can extend and retract on the front uprights via the extension tubes, providing excellent adjustment.
[0010] Preferably, the multi-point locking mechanism includes a single spring pin disposed on the extension tube and a plurality of positioning holes disposed on the front upright tube, the plurality of positioning holes being arranged at equal intervals along the axial direction of the front upright tube. The multi-point locking mechanism is similar to the telescopic stop mechanism on an umbrella; the spring pin is a pin with a return spring supporting it, and "multiple points" refers to the multiple selectable locking positions.
[0011] Preferably, the single-point locking mechanism includes a single spring pin disposed on the inner rod of the telescopic rod and a single positioning hole disposed on the outer rod of the telescopic rod. The single-point locking mechanism is similar to the telescopic stop mechanism on an umbrella; the spring pin is a pin with a return spring at the back, and "single-point" means that there is only one locking position.
[0012] Preferably, a shaping plate is embedded inside the cushion. The shaping plate can be an iron block, a steel plate, or even thick cardboard. In addition to its shaping function, it also serves as a support and connects to the chair frame.
[0013] Preferably, a shaping plate is embedded in the seat cushion. The shaping plate can be an iron block, a steel plate, or even thick cardboard. In addition to its shaping function, it also provides support and connects to the chair frame.
[0014] Preferably, a front anti-slip sleeve is provided on each of the two free ends of the front horizontal bar, and a rear anti-slip sleeve is provided on each of the two free ends of the rear horizontal bar. The front and rear horizontal bars support the entire chair on the ground, and anti-slip sleeves are added to the ends of the bars to provide anti-slip performance on wet or shiny surfaces.
[0015] Beneficial effects: This utility model has a lightweight yet safe and stable structure, and it can be folded freely for easy carrying. Attached Figure Description
