Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a device for the recovery of postoperative upper limb edema based on breast and thyroid glands. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, upper limb edema refers to the abnormal accumulation of fluid in the upper limbs. This accumulation can cause noticeable swelling, distension, or a feeling of heaviness in the upper limbs. Upper limb edema often requires the use of rehabilitation devices to help restore or improve bodily function. Rehabilitation devices are assistive devices designed and used to help people restore or improve bodily function. These devices are usually developed collaboratively by medical professionals, engineers, and technical experts to provide support, stability, functional enhancement, or correction to promote rehabilitation and improve quality of life.

[0003] However, traditional postoperative upper limb edema recovery devices for breast and thyroid surgeries typically involve mechanical exercises. Some of these devices may cause discomfort or pain during use. If the device does not fit the patient's upper limb properly, it may cause compression or severe pulling, leading to decreased patient comfort and potentially reducing treatment compliance. Furthermore, different patients have different heights, and fixed-height recovery devices cannot be personalized to each patient's height. This may result in the device not fitting the patient's upper limb perfectly during use, affecting the treatment effect. Therefore, technological improvements are urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a postoperative upper limb edema recovery device based on breast and thyroid surgery. In use, the upper limb is placed inside a massage sleeve. The control panel is electrically connected to an air pump, allowing medical personnel to activate the pump via the control panel. Gas is continuously introduced into the airbag through the air inlet via an air inlet tube. The airbag expands, causing the silicone pad to continuously conform to the edematous area of ​​the upper limb. Ventilation holes prevent excessive pressure on the skin. Controlling the air pump to continuously inflate and deflate the airbag ensures a comfortable fit to the patient's upper limb, relieving muscle pain and stiffness, promoting muscle relaxation, and reducing pain and discomfort.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A device for the recovery of upper limb edema after surgery based on breast and thyroid glands includes an L-shaped frame. Storage racks are fixedly connected to the edges of the L-shaped frame near the upper surface. Connecting columns are fixedly connected to both sides of the front end of the upper surface of the L-shaped frame. Connecting rods are slidably connected inside the connecting columns. The outer wall of the rear end of the connecting rods is provided with an installation groove.

[0007] A rack is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rear end of each connecting rod. A servo motor is fixedly connected to one side of the middle of the upper surface of the L-shaped frame. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. Gears are fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating rod.

[0008] With the above technical solution, when using this postoperative upper limb edema recovery device for breast and thyroid glands, the servo motor can be activated to rotate forward and reverse, which in turn drives the rotating rod to rotate and the gear to rotate. Since the gear and rack mesh with each other, the connecting rod can be driven to move up and down in the connecting column. The slider can slide in the groove to prevent the gear and rack from deviating during the sliding process, which would cause misalignment and prevent movement. The height of the massage sleeve can be adjusted according to the height of different patients, so as to better fit the patient's upper limb and has high practical performance.

[0009] Furthermore, a massage sleeve is fixedly connected to the upper surface of each connecting rod, an airbag cushion is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the massage sleeve, and a silicone soft pad is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the airbag cushion.

[0010] The above technical solution allows patients to easily insert their upper limbs using a massage sleeve.

[0011] Furthermore, all of the gears mesh with the rack;

[0012] The above technical solution facilitates the up-and-down movement of the connecting rod by the meshing of gears and racks.

[0013] Furthermore, sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the connecting column, and sliders are fixedly connected to the lower part of the outer walls on both sides of the connecting rod, and the sliders slide within the sliding grooves.

[0014] The above technical solution allows the slider to slide within the groove, facilitating the limiting of the connecting rod and preventing disengagement of the gear and rack during meshing.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner wall of the silicone pad is provided with multiple ventilation holes;

[0016] The above technical solution uses vents to prevent the patient's skin from sticking tightly to the silicone pad, thus preventing air circulation.

[0017] Furthermore, a fixed box is fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the front end of the L-shaped frame, and an air pump is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom surface of the fixed box. An air inlet hose is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump. The air inlet hose passes through the fixed box and the massage sleeve and is connected to one side of the airbag cushion.

[0018] The above technical solution allows for easy delivery of gas from the air intake hose to the airbag cushion via an air pump.

[0019] Furthermore, a plurality of air inlets are provided in the middle of the outer wall of the front end of the fixed box, and a filter plate is fixedly connected inside each air inlet;

[0020] The above technical solution allows the air pump to draw in gas through the air inlet, and the filter plate to filter impurities in the air.

[0021] Furthermore, a control panel is fixedly connected to one side of the front outer wall of the storage rack, and support legs are fixedly connected to both sides of the rear end of the lower surface of the L-shaped frame.

[0022] The above technical solution allows medical staff or patients to start or stop the air pump by electrically connecting the control panel to the air pump.

The control panel is electrically connected to an air pump, allowing medical staff to turn on the air pump via the control panel. Gas is continuously introduced into the airbag pad through the air inlet via the air inlet. The airbag pad expands continuously, causing the silicone pad to continuously approach the edematous area of ​​the upper limb. The vent holes prevent the pad from being too close and causing the skin to feel stuffy. By controlling the air pump to continuously inflate and deflate the airbag pad, it can fully conform to the patient's upper limb, providing a comfortable fit while relieving muscle pain and stiffness, promoting muscle relaxation, and reducing pain and discomfort.

[0025] 2. This utility model proposes a postoperative upper limb edema recovery device based on breast and thyroid glands. Compared with existing postoperative upper limb edema recovery devices for breast and thyroid glands, this device, when in use, uses a servo motor to rotate forward and backward, which in turn drives the rotating rod to rotate and the gear to rotate. Since the gear and rack mesh with each other, the connecting rod can move up and down in the connecting column. The slider slides in the groove to prevent the gear and rack from deviating during sliding, which would cause misalignment and prevent movement. The height of the massage sleeve can be adjusted according to the height of different patients, so as to better fit the patient's upper limb, and the device has high practical performance.
