Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of massage device technology, and in particular to a lumbar massage device for assisting childbirth in the delivery room. Background Technology

[0002] During the first stage of labor, persistent uterine contractions often cause severe soreness and pain in the lower back and sacrum of the mother. To alleviate this discomfort, some portable massage devices specifically designed for postpartum women have emerged in clinical practice. For example, Chinese utility model patent publication number CN215349897U discloses a lightweight lumbar and sacral heat therapy massage strap for expectant mothers. By integrating heat therapy and vibration massage functions and adopting a strap design, it aims to provide continuous relief to the lower back and sacrum for postpartum women during activities such as standing and walking, thus improving the limitations of traditional manual massage to some extent.

[0003] Existing devices of this type primarily focus on localized massage and heat application to the lumbosacral region. However, in actual use, due to the frequent changes in position required during childbirth, existing devices struggle to ensure a stable fit across the body during these transitions. For instance, when a mother changes from standing to squatting or lying on her side, the angle of the uterus changes, and the abdominal binder only covers the lowest edge, causing the entire strap to slip upwards. This also shifts the massage device in the lumbosacral region, affecting the massage effect and potentially increasing the operator's workload. Furthermore, the heat and soothing functions of existing devices are often limited to a single area, failing to simultaneously cover both the lumbosacral region and the abdominal area. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve existing technology to address the issues of unstable wearing, easy displacement of massage components, and incomplete heat application coverage in current lumbar massage devices used during childbirth.

The drive unit 32 is connected to the multiple massage heads 31 via a transmission structure, and is used to drive the massage heads 31 to perform reciprocating or rotational massage movements to relieve lumbosacral pain.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The two ends of the maternity support belt 4 are respectively connected to the first connecting parts 21 of the side waist protection pieces 2. The middle part of the maternity support belt 4 has an arc-shaped support band 41, which protrudes away from the abdomen to form a space for supporting the lower abdomen of the mother. The maternity support belt 4 includes a left maternity support belt section 44 and a right maternity support belt section 45. One end of the left maternity support belt section 44 is connected to the first connecting part 21 on one side, and one end of the right maternity support belt section 45 is connected to the first connecting part 21 on the other side. The other end of the left maternity support belt section 44 is provided with a first connecting member 46, and the other end of the right maternity support belt section 45 is provided with a second connecting member 47 that cooperates with the first connecting member 46. The left maternity support belt section 44 and the right maternity support belt section 45 are detachably connected by the cooperation of the first connecting member 46 and the second connecting member 47, which is convenient for wearing and adjusting the tightness. In some specific embodiments, the first connecting member 46 and the second connecting member 47 can be one of Velcro fasteners, snaps, or hooks.

[0043] The two ends of the auxiliary fixing strap 5 are respectively connected to the second connecting parts 22 of the two side waist support members 2. The auxiliary fixing strap 5 is used to wrap around the upper abdomen of the human body to provide additional fixation and support. The auxiliary fixing strap 5 also adopts a segmented design, including a left fixing strap segment 51 and a right fixing strap segment 52. One end of the left fixing strap segment 51 is connected to the second connecting part 22 on one side, and one end of the right fixing strap segment 52 is connected to the second connecting part 22 on the other side. The other end of the left fixing strap segment 51 is provided with a third connecting member 53, and the other end of the right fixing strap segment 52 is provided with a fourth connecting member 54 that cooperates with the third connecting member 53.

In some specific embodiments, the third connecting member 53 and the fourth connecting member 54 can also adopt a Velcro or snap fastener structure to achieve a detachable connection.

[0044] The upper and lower edges of the maternity support belt 4 are respectively provided with an upper elastic band 42 and a lower elastic band 43. The upper elastic band 42 and the lower elastic band 43 are made of elastic textile material, which can provide moderate elasticity in the longitudinal direction and enhance wearing comfort.

[0045] One end of each of the two shoulder straps 6 is connected to the lower elastic bands 43 on both sides of the maternity support belt 4, and the other end is connected to the upper side of the waist belt body 1. One end of the auxiliary strap 7 is connected to the auxiliary fixing strap 5, and the other end is connected to the upper elastic band 42 of the maternity support belt 4. By connecting the shoulder straps 6 to the lower edge of the maternity support belt 4 and the auxiliary strap 7 to the upper edge of the maternity support belt 4, a double-pulling and fixing system is formed. The advantage of this design is that when the shoulder straps 6 are under force, the lower elastic band 43 generates an upward lifting force on the maternity support belt, effectively distributing the weight of the abdomen; at the same time, the auxiliary strap 7 generates a backward pulling force on the upper part of the maternity support belt 4 through the upper elastic band 42, making the maternity support belt fit the abdominal curve more closely. The synergistic effect of the two significantly enhances the stability of the device and prevents the maternity support belt 4 from rolling up or shifting when the mother moves. The pulling of the shoulder straps 6 and the auxiliary strap 7 can further enhance the support stability of the maternity support belt 4 and distribute the force on the waist.

[0046] Please see Figure 5Heating surfaces 8 are provided inside the massage component 3, the abdominal support belt 4, and the auxiliary fixing belt 5. The heating surface 8 is a flexible layer with embedded heating wires. These heating wires are evenly distributed on the flexible substrate and generate heat through low-voltage power supply, ensuring controllable and reliable temperature control. The heating surface 8 inside the massage component 3 is fitted to the outer side of the massage component 3; the heating surface 8 inside the abdominal support belt 4 is located within the inner layer of the abdominal support belt 4; and the heating surface 8 inside the auxiliary fixing belt 5 is located within the inner layer of the auxiliary fixing belt 5. By placing the heating surface 8 in the inner layers of different parts, heat can be directly applied to the corresponding areas of the body, achieving simultaneous or precise heat therapy on the lumbosacral region and the upper and lower abdomen, meeting the therapeutic needs of different areas.

[0047] Please see Figure 2 The device also includes a control device 9. The control device 9 is mounted on the lumbar support 2 for easy operation. The control device 9 is electrically connected via wires to the massage assembly 3, the heating surface layer 8 inside the massage assembly 3, the heating surface layer 8 inside the abdominal support belt 4, and the heating surface layer 8 inside the auxiliary fixing belt 5. The control device 9 has independent control buttons and a temperature adjustment knob for controlling the start / stop of the massage assembly 3, the massage mode, and the opening / closing and temperature adjustment of each heating surface layer 8.

[0048] The working principle of the lumbar massage device used for midwifery in this delivery room is as follows:

[0049] In use, the mother first wraps the waistband body 1 around her waist, aligning the massage component 3 with her lumbosacral region. Then, the left and right support belt sections are connected via the first and second connectors, adjusted to a comfortable tightness, so that the curved support belt 41 supports the lower abdomen. Next, the left and right fixing belt sections are connected via the third and fourth connectors and secured to the upper abdomen. The two shoulder straps 6 are passed over the shoulders and connected to the back of the waistband body 1, and the auxiliary strap 7 is adjusted. After securely wearing the belt, the massage component 3 is activated via the control device 9 to massage the lumbosacral region, and different areas of the heating surface layer 8 can be selected for heat therapy. During changes in the mother's position, the lumbar support component 2 can be adjusted in multiple directions, ensuring that all parts of the device remain in close contact with the body regardless of whether the mother is standing, squatting, or lying on her side. Simultaneously, the double traction system formed by the shoulder straps 6 and the auxiliary strap 7 provides additional lifting, effectively counteracting the displacement force caused by changes in position, ensuring that the waistband body 1 and the support belt 4 remain stable and do not shift.

[0050] In summary, the core of this embodiment lies in the organic combination of lumbosacral massage, abdominal support, and multi-area heat therapy functions. The adjustable structure ensures the stability and ease of operation when worn in the special scenario of childbirth assistance in the delivery room, effectively improving the comfort of the mother.

[0051] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
