[0027] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model provides an embodiment of a vaginal delivery assisted production device, comprising: a placement frame, a birthing ball support 211, and a support member. The birthing ball support 211 is mounted on the placement frame, and the support member is fixedly mounted on one end of the placement frame. The support member is provided with casters 32 for pushing the birthing ball support 211, and a release mechanism for the casters 32 to detach from the ground is provided between the support member and the casters 32. The birthing ball support 211 is fixedly placed on the placement frame. When movement is needed, the casters 32 are brought into contact with the ground, and the casters 32 push the birthing ball support 211 to move, thus solving the problem of the birthing ball support 211 being too heavy to move. This improves work efficiency and reduces the risk of occupational musculoskeletal injuries for midwives.

[0028] In this embodiment, the placement frame includes a base plate 1 and fixing frames 11. Fixing frames 11 are fixedly installed at each of the four corners of the base plate 1, and a support member is fixedly installed at one end of the base plate 1. This is used to securely install the birthing ball support 211, ensuring the overall stability of the device when the pregnant woman places the yoga ball on the birthing ball support 211, thus preventing accidents. In actual use, both the base plate 1 and the fixing frames 11 can be made of tool steel, titanium alloy, ultra-high strength steel, or tungsten alloy, etc. These materials have high strength and hardness, providing good support.

[0029] In this embodiment, the support is set as two support frames 3, which are symmetrically installed on one end of the base plate 1.

[0030] In this embodiment, handrails 5 are fixedly installed on both support frames 3. When using the yoga ball, pregnant women can stabilize themselves by holding onto the handrails 5 with both hands to avoid accidental falls.

[0031] In this embodiment, handles 6 for pushing the device are fixedly installed on both support frames 3. When the midwife needs to push the device, she can push the device by holding the handles 6, which makes it easier for the midwife to exert force and makes pushing more convenient and effortless.

[0032] In this embodiment, support plates 4 for supporting midwives are fixedly installed on the two support frames 3, and the bottom of the support plates 4 is fixedly installed on the handles 6. During childbirth using a yoga ball, the midwife may also assist the pregnant woman with exercises. At this time, the support plates 4 support the midwife's arms, reducing fatigue and improving efficiency. Simultaneously, the handles 6 further support the support plates 4, making them more stable.

[0033] In this embodiment, multiple fixing half-rings 12 for fixing the birthing ball support 211 are fixedly installed on the base plate 1. After the birthing ball support 211 is placed on the base plate 1, the fixing half-rings 12 are fixedly installed on the base plate 1 with screws and are locked with the bottom annular ring of the birthing ball support 211 to achieve the function of fixing the birthing ball support 211. When the midwife pushes the base plate 1, the fixing half-rings 12 prevent the birthing ball support 211 from shaking during the movement of the base plate 1, thereby avoiding the birthing ball support 211 from slipping off the base plate 1 and even injuring people or objects. In actual use, while ensuring the stability of the bottom, the friction between the fixing frame 11 and the ground can also be reduced by the material or structure, so that after the casters 32 slide down, the base plate 1 can be moved more easily.

[0034] Example 1 of the detachable component:

[0035] In this embodiment, the detachment components can be selected as two sets. Each set of detachment components includes a slider 33 and a limiting component. Both support frames 3 have grooves 31, and sliders 33 are slidably connected within each groove 31. A caster wheel 32 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the slider 33. A limiting component for controlling the height of the caster wheel 32 is provided between each slider 33 and its corresponding groove 31. When the birthing ball support 211 needs to be moved, the caster wheel 32 is moved down along the groove 31 via the slider 33 until it contacts the ground. Then, the limiting component restricts the movement of the slider 33, preventing the caster wheel 32 from sliding along the groove 31, facilitating subsequent pushing. When the birthing ball support 211 needs to be fixed, the caster wheel 32 is moved up along the groove 31 via the slider 33, away from the ground. The limiting component then restricts the movement of the slider 33, preventing the caster wheel 32 from sliding along the groove 31.

[0036] In this embodiment, the limiting component includes a moving rod 34 and a limiting block. One end of the moving rod 34 is fixedly mounted on the slider 33, and the other end of the moving rod 34 is rotatably mounted with a limiting block 35. The slide groove 31 is provided with a rolling groove 37 and a positioning groove 36 for limiting the movement of the slider 33. When the limiting block 35 is engaged with the rolling groove 37, the lowest point of the universal wheel 32 is on the same plane as the lowest point of the fixing frame 11. The position of the positioning groove 36 is higher than that of the rolling groove 37, and the rotation direction of the limiting block 35 is parallel to the inner bottom surface of the rolling groove 37 and the positioning groove 36. When limiting is required, the limiting block 35 is rotated to lock it in the rolling groove 37 or the positioning groove 36, thereby limiting the movement of the slider 33. When the universal wheel 32 needs to be moved, the limiting block 35 is rotated to prevent it from contacting the rolling groove 37 or the positioning groove 36, so that the universal wheel 32 can move up and down along the slide groove 31 via the slider 33. When it is necessary to move the birthing ball support 211, the limiting block 35 is engaged in the rolling groove 37; when it is necessary to fix the moving birthing ball support 211, the limiting block 35 is engaged in the positioning groove 36.

[0037] In this embodiment, a groove 39 is provided at one end of the moving rod 34, and a rotating column 38 matching the groove 39 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 35. The rotating column 38 is rotatably installed in the groove 39. In use, the limiting block 35 can rotate around the top circumference of the moving rod 34, that is, parallel to the inner surface of the rolling groove 37 and the positioning groove 36, which facilitates smooth insertion into the rolling groove 37 or the positioning groove 36. In actual use, there is a certain friction between the groove 39 and the rotating column 38, and a certain external force is required for rotation, which effectively prevents the limiting block 35 from rotating arbitrarily and sliding out of the rolling groove 37 or the positioning groove 36.

[0038] In this embodiment, the limiting block 35 is configured as an elastic structure, which can be silicone or rubber, to facilitate locking in the rolling groove 37 and the positioning groove 36 and prevent slippage. The side of the limiting block 35 near the rolling groove 37 and the positioning groove 36 is inclined to facilitate smooth locking into the rolling groove 37 and the positioning groove 36.

[0039] The specific usage method of this embodiment is as follows:

[0040] Before use, place the birthing ball support 211 on the base plate 1, then rotate the limiting block 35 to make it slide out of the positioning groove 36, and then move the caster 32 down along the slide groove 31 until the caster 32 contacts the ground. Then rotate the limiting block 35 into the rolling groove 37 to restrict the movement of the slider 33, so that the caster 32 no longer slides along the slide groove 31.

[0041] The midwife holds handle 6 and pushes the device to move until it reaches the appropriate position. Then, she rotates the limiting block 35 to make it slide out of the rolling groove 37, and then moves the caster wheel 32 up along the slide groove 31. When the limiting block 35 moves to the positioning groove 36, she rotates the limiting block 35 to make it lock into the positioning groove 36, preventing the caster wheel 32 from sliding freely with the slider 33.

[0042] Finally, place the yoga ball on the birthing ball support 211. The pregnant woman sits on the yoga ball according to the midwifery instructions, holding onto the handrail 5 to perform birthing exercises. During the birthing process, when assistance from the midwife is needed, the midwife can place her arms on the support board 4 for support, thereby reducing work fatigue.

[0043] Example 2 of the detachable component:

[0044] Please see Figure 3-4In this embodiment, multiple release components are provided, optionally two, each mounted on each support frame 3. Each release component includes a first ball 71, a second ball 74, a connecting rod 73, and a locking screw 72. The first ball 71 is fixedly mounted on the support frame 3, and a cavity is formed inside the first ball 71. The second ball 74 is rolled within the cavity, filling it completely. A guide groove 75 for rotating the connecting rod 73 is formed on the first ball 71. The guide groove 75 penetrates one side of the first ball 71 and communicates with the cavity. The width of the guide groove 75 is smaller than the diameter of the second ball 74. One end of the connecting rod 73 passes through the guide groove 75 and is fixedly connected to the second ball 74. The other end of the connecting rod 73 is rotatably connected to a universal wheel, whose rotation axis is parallel to the ground. A locking through hole is formed on one side of the first ball 71, and the locking screw 72 passes through the locking through hole and abuts against the second ball 74. When the birthing ball support 211 needs to be moved, the connecting rod 73 is rotated, causing the caster 32 to rotate until it contacts the ground. Then, the locking screw 72 passes through the locking hole and locks against the second ball 74, thus restricting further rotation of the connecting rod 73 and preventing the caster 32 from rotating along the rotation groove, facilitating subsequent pushing. When the birthing ball support 211 needs to be fixed, the locking screw 72 is loosened, and then the connecting rod 73 is rotated, causing the caster 32 to rotate away from the ground. Then, the locking screw 72 again passes through the locking hole and locks against the second ball 74, thus restricting further rotation of the connecting rod 73 and preventing the caster 32 from rotating along the rotation groove. Alternatively, the locking screw 72 can be loosened directly, leaving the caster 32 unsecured and preventing the birthing ball support 211 from moving.

[0045] In summary, this invention achieves the effect of moving the birthing ball support 211 through the cooperation of the placement frame, the birthing ball support 211, the casters 32, and the support components. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces the risk of occupational musculoskeletal injuries for midwives. Therefore, this invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of the prior art.
