Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a support component for a radiation-proof lead apron. Background Technology

[0002] Healthcare workers need to wear lead aprons to reduce radiation damage during radiological examinations and treatments. When wearing a lead apron, healthcare workers primarily support it with their shoulders. During prolonged examinations and treatments, the lead apron continuously compresses the shoulders, constantly draining the healthcare worker's energy. Current methods for reducing the weight of lead aprons include suspended lead apron protective devices. The principle is that the weight-reducing device is installed on the ceiling or a fixed bracket, and the lead apron is suspended by a suspension arm. This significantly reduces the impact of the weight of the lead apron on the healthcare worker. Other methods utilize the telescopic function of the suspension arm or a guide rail structure for the suspension arm to slide, allowing the lead apron to move within a certain range. However, in this case, the healthcare worker can only move within the telescopic range of the suspension arm or the travel range of the guide rail structure. Furthermore, when the healthcare worker makes different movements, the lead apron is pulled by the suspension arm, affecting their movements. Therefore, it is difficult to simultaneously reduce the healthcare worker's load and ensure their flexibility.

[0003] Therefore, a lead apron support component is designed that can move with the user and reduce the user's load. Specifically, this support component is a support component for a radiation-proof lead apron. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A support assembly for a radiation-proof lead apron includes: a back support; a shoulder support comprising an arc-shaped plate and a connecting piece, wherein the arc-shaped plate and the connecting piece are detachably connected, the arc-shaped plate is connected to the back support, and the connecting piece can be bonded to the shoulder of the lead apron; and a leg link, one end of which contacts the ground, and the other end of which is connected to the back support. The arc-shaped plate is elastic; when the connecting piece is bonded to the lead apron, it moves to a limit position, and when the connecting piece is detached from the lead apron, it moves to an initial position. During the movement of the connecting piece from the initial position to the limit position, the arc-shaped plate bends and stores energy; the limit position is between the initial position and the ground. When the connecting piece is in the initial position, the distance between it and the user's shoulder is not zero, allowing the arc-shaped plate to have deformation space after the connecting piece is bonded to the lead apron.

[0006] Furthermore, the leg link is equipped with a binding structure that surrounds the user's lower leg and enhances the stability of the connection between the leg link and the user. The binding structure is a flexible binding strap or a binding ring that can be engaged.

[0007] Furthermore, the back support includes a first connecting rod and two second connecting rods, with the two second connecting rods symmetrically and integrally connected to both ends of the first connecting rod. When the first connecting rod and the second connecting rods are connected, the back support is H-shaped.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a waist-hip linkage, one end of which is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the leg linkage via a connecting shaft. There are two waist-hip linkages, which are symmetrically arranged about the sagittal plane of the lead apron.

[0009] Furthermore, the hip-waist linkage has an arc, and when the connecting piece is bonded to the shoulder position of the lead apron, the hip-waist linkage contacts the outer wall of the lead apron.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting piece has concave surfaces that are opposite to each other, and an adhesive layer is provided on the concave surface. The adhesive layer can fill the gap between the connecting piece and the outer surface of the lead apron when they come into contact, so that the connecting piece and the lead apron fit tightly together. The connecting piece is elastic. When the outer contour of the shoulder of the lead apron is deformed by the medical staff wearing the lead apron, the concave surface of the connecting piece deforms synchronously and fits into the outer surface of the lead apron.

[0011] Furthermore, the connecting piece also has a convex surface opposite to the concave surface, and the convex surface is provided with a connecting member, which is detachably connected to the arc-shaped plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the connecting piece has a uniform thickness.

[0013] Furthermore, the back support is provided with a buffer layer. When the support component is connected to the lead apron, the buffer layer fits snugly against the lead apron. When the back of the medical staff presses against the back support, the back support drives the waist and hip linkage and the shoulder support to rotate around the connecting axis. At the same time, the shoulder support causes the shoulder area of ​​the lead apron to detach from the medical staff's shoulders or tends to detach from the medical staff's shoulders.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model is equipped with a shoulder support, a back support, a waist and hip linkage, and a leg linkage that are sequentially connected and form an exoskeleton. During use, the exoskeleton is attached to the user and the lead apron. The user's feet press the restraint pedals firmly to the ground. By connecting the connecting piece that constitutes the shoulder support to the outer surface of the radiation-proof lead apron corresponding to the user's shoulders, two points of support away from the ground can be provided for the lead apron. When the user's back touches the back support, the shoulder support continues to pull the lead apron outward under the action of the back support, thereby reducing the weight burden on the user's shoulders caused by the lead apron.

[0016] 2. The support component of this utility model fits snugly against the user's body. The structure for reducing the weight of the lead apron does not need to be connected to a suspension arm or track in the external environment. Therefore, the pulling effect of the support component on the lead apron is affected by the user's movement mode and posture, but not by the user's position in the usage scenario.

[0025] The technical solutions of this utility model are clearly and completely described below through specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] A support component for a radiation-proof lead apron 5, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes: a support assembly for a radiation-proof lead apron 5, comprising: a back support 1; a shoulder support 2, including an arc-shaped plate 21 and a connecting piece 22, the arc-shaped plate 21 and the connecting piece 22 being detachably connected, the arc-shaped plate 21 being connected to the back support 1, and the connecting piece 22 being able to adhere to the shoulder of the lead apron 5; a leg link 4, one end of the leg link 4 contacting the ground, and the other end of the leg link 4 being connected to the back support 1; the arc-shaped plate 21 is elastic, and when the connecting piece 22 adheres to the lead apron 5, it moves to an extreme position, and when the connecting piece 22 detaches from the lead apron 5, it moves to an initial position; during the movement of the connecting piece 22 from the initial position to the extreme position, the arc-shaped plate 21 bends and stores energy; the extreme position is between the initial position and the ground. When the connecting piece 22 is in the initial position, the distance between it and the user's shoulder is not zero, so that the arc-shaped plate 21 can have deformation space after the connecting piece 22 is connected to the lead apron 5. The lead apron 5 has two openings 51 at the front end, running from top to bottom. The gap between the two openings 51 connects the top collar and the bottom opening of the lead apron 5. When the user puts on the lead apron 5, they first lock the joints of the support components, then attach the shoulder area of ​​the lead apron 5 to the connecting piece 22, and then open the openings 51 to both sides, hiding the apron 5 inside the apron 5 through the gap between the openings 51, thus completing the wearing of the lead apron 5. After wearing, the shoulder area of ​​the lead apron 5 does not contact the user's shoulders, or the shoulder area of ​​the lead apron 5 tends to be lifted away from the user's shoulders by the shoulder support 2, thereby achieving a weight reduction effect on the lead apron 5.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the leg link 4 is equipped with a binding structure. The binding structure surrounds the user's lower leg and enhances the stability of the connection between the leg link 4 and the user. The binding structure is a flexible binding strap or a binding ring that can be engaged.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-6As shown, the back support 1 includes a first connecting rod 11 and two second connecting rods 12. The two second connecting rods 12 are symmetrically and integrally connected to the two ends of the first connecting rod 11. When the first connecting rod 11 and the second connecting rods 12 are connected, the back support 1 is H-shaped.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it also includes a hip-lumbar link 3. One end of the hip-lumbar link 3 is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 12, and the other end of the hip-lumbar link 3 is provided with a connecting shaft 31 and rotatably connected to the leg link 4. There are two hip-lumbar links 3, which are symmetrically arranged about the sagittal plane of the lead apron 5. In addition, the shoulder support members 2 on both sides are also symmetrically arranged about the sagittal plane, so that when the support assembly supports the lead apron 5, the connecting plates 22 on both sides are evenly stressed, thereby preventing uneven stress on the user's shoulders caused by uneven stress on the lead apron 5. The hip-lumbar link 3 has a curvature, and when the connecting plate 22 is bonded to the shoulder position of the lead apron 5, the hip-lumbar link 3 contacts the outer wall of the lead apron 5.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the connecting piece 22 has concave surfaces 221 that are opposite to each other. The concave surfaces 221 are provided with an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer can fill the gap between the connecting piece 22 and the outer surface of the lead apron 5 when they come into contact, so that the connecting piece 22 and the lead apron 5 fit tightly together. The connecting piece 22 is elastic. When the medical staff wears the lead apron 5 and deforms the outer contour of the shoulder of the lead apron 5, the concave surface 221 of the connecting piece 22 deforms synchronously and fits into the outer surface of the lead apron 5.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the connecting piece 22 also has a convex surface 222 opposite to the concave surface 221. The convex surface 222 is provided with a connector 223, which is detachably connected to the arc-shaped plate 21. The thickness of the connecting piece 22 is uniform, or the thickness of the connecting piece 22 is greater the closer it is to the connector 223, and the thickness is smaller the further away it is. This is beneficial to improving the structural stability of the connector 223 and the connecting piece 22 at the connection point.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the back support 1 is provided with a buffer layer 13. When the support component is connected to the lead apron 5, the buffer layer 13 fits against the lead apron 5. When the back of the medical staff presses against the back support 1, the back support 1 drives the waist and hip linkage 3 and the shoulder support 2 to rotate around the connecting shaft 31. At the same time, the shoulder support 2 drives the shoulder area of ​​the lead apron 5 to detach from the shoulder of the medical staff or has a tendency to detach from the shoulder of the medical staff.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-6As shown, the leg link 4 includes a thigh support 41 and a calf support 42, which are rotatably connected. A rotating joint 43 is provided between the thigh support 41 and the calf support 42. The thigh support 41 is a telescopic rod capable of axial extension and retraction, which is beneficial for adapting to users of different body types. A restraint pedal 421 is provided at the end of the calf support 42 away from the back support 1. The restraint pedal has a restraint channel 422 through it. When the medical staff's feet are restrained, the outer side of the leg abuts against the inner side of the leg link 4.
