[0020] See Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses an auxiliary frame for preoperative limb disinfection in orthopedic surgery, comprising a base 1 with casters 2 at its bottom; a counterweight sleeve 3 on the base 1; a height-adjustable support 4 on the counterweight sleeve 3; a horizontally adjustable mounting tube 5 on the support 4; and a placement ring 6 for fixing the limbs on the proximal end of the free end of the horizontal mounting tube 5. At least one folding support foot 7 is located on the side wall of the counterweight sleeve 3 near the horizontal mounting tube 5. The casters have a self-locking brake structure to prevent movement during use. The pre-assembled auxiliary frame can be moved to the side of the bed via the casters for direct use. The height-adjustable support lifts the patient's limbs from bottom to top, saving installation steps. The initial height of the auxiliary frame is close to the height of the bed, making it convenient for doctors and nurses to place the patient's limbs on the placement rings for fixation. The support and horizontal mounting tube work together to adjust the position of the placement rings to a suitable position in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
[0021] A folding support foot is installed on the side wall of the counterweight sleeve near the horizontal mounting tube to further prevent the auxiliary frame from tipping over when the patient's limbs are placed on the placement ring. When the folding support foot is in the open position, its end is located below the end of the horizontal mounting tube when it is moved to its outermost position.
[0022] The counterweight sleeve is equipped with a lifting component that cooperates with the bracket. The lifting component adopts a common lifting structure, such as a bevel gear lift or a worm gear lift. The driving method can be manual or electric motor driven, and all of them have a self-locking function. These are common existing technologies in the field, and will not be described in detail here.
[0023] In this embodiment, the horizontal mounting pipe 5 includes a quick-lock hose clamp 5a disposed on the upper end of the bracket 4, and a horizontal pipe 5b is disposed inside the quick-lock hose clamp 5a. A limiting ring 5c is provided at the end of the horizontal pipe 5b. When the horizontal mounting pipe is moved to a suitable position, it is quickly fixed by the quick-lock hose clamp, improving the ease of operation. The specific structure and connection method of the quick-lock hose clamp are common existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.
[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, the folding support foot 7 includes a hinge seat 7a disposed on the outer wall near the lower end of the counterweight sleeve 3, a support rod 7b hinged to the hinge seat 7a, and an anti-slip rubber sleeve 7c provided at the free end of the support rod 7b; a retaining seat 7d that cooperates with the support rod 7b is provided on the outer wall near the upper end of the counterweight sleeve 3. In the unused state, the support rod rotates to a vertical position and the free end near the upper end is fixed and stored by the retaining seat.
[0025] A mounting and storage groove 7e is provided on the outer wall of the counterweight sleeve 3 above the hinge seat 7a. An auxiliary positioning rod 7f is hinged to the bottom near the end of the mounting and storage groove 7e. A quick-connect assembly 8 is provided between the end of the auxiliary positioning rod 7f and the support rod 7b. The length of the mounting and storage groove 7e is greater than the length of the auxiliary positioning rod 7f. In the unused state, the auxiliary positioning rod is rotated to a vertical position and placed in the mounting and storage groove for storage, and is blocked by the support rod and cannot be removed from the mounting and storage groove. In the used state, the auxiliary positioning rod presses against the support rod from above at an angle, providing good support when the clamping ring is under force.
[0026] More preferably, the quick-connect assembly 8 includes an elongated mounting hole 8a on the support rod 7b, a plug 8b at the free end of the auxiliary positioning rod 7f that mates with the elongated mounting hole 8a, a matching positioning through hole 8c on the side wall of the elongated mounting hole 8a and the plug 8b, and a pin 8d within the positioning through hole 8c. This structure facilitates quick assembly and disassembly of the support rod and the auxiliary positioning rod, and since there are no additional protruding structures on the outer wall of the support rod, it does not affect storage.
[0027] See Figure 4 As shown, in a further preferred embodiment, the front end of the horizontal mounting tube 5 is provided with a detachable extension rod 9, and at least one lifting ring 10 is detachably provided on the extension rod 9; both ends of the extension rod 9 are respectively connected to the horizontal mounting tubes 5 of the two auxiliary frames, and a fixing structure is provided between the extension rod 9 and the horizontal mounting tube 5. This structure is mainly for patients who cannot directly raise their legs from the heel due to factors such as fractures. By setting a lifting ring on the extension rod to support the patient's thigh, and at the same time, the other auxiliary frame normally supports the patient's lower leg or heel, which can greatly facilitate patient disinfection and can even be used for surgery. The stability is improved by connecting the two auxiliary frames to form a gantry frame. The fixing structure can adopt a common quick-locking structure such as a buckle or pin for easy operation.
[0028] In this embodiment, preferably, the placement ring 6 includes a mounting ring 6a sleeved on the horizontal mounting pipe 5, and an adjustment component 6b is provided between the mounting ring 6a and the horizontal mounting pipe 5; a base 6c is provided at the upper end of the mounting ring 6a, and a rotatable quick-locking ring 6d is provided on the base 6c. The adjustment component includes an adjustment elongated hole provided on the horizontal mounting pipe and a fixing bolt provided on the mounting ring, which allows for fine adjustment of the position of the placement ring during use.
[0029] During operation, the auxiliary frame is pushed to a suitable position on one side of the bed. The support rod is removed from the holder and rotated to align with the ground. The auxiliary positioning rod is rotated from the mounting slot to align with the support rod and secured with a pin. After disinfecting the patient's lower leg or heel, it is placed on the surface-disinfected quick-release clamp and secured. The support is then raised to a suitable height using the lifting assembly to perform disinfection of the entire leg. For ease of operation, a disposable disinfectant film can also be laid on the surface of the quick-release clamp; these are all readily apparent to those skilled in the art. For patients with leg fractures requiring support in two areas, two auxiliary frames can be combined to form a suspension system, which, in conjunction with a single auxiliary frame for support, can significantly reduce the workload of doctors, improve disinfection convenience, and shorten disinfection time.
[0030] The above-described embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to facilitate the illustration of the present utility model. They are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art who makes partial modifications or alterations to the technical content disclosed in the present utility model without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present utility model.
