[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] First Embodiment
[0026] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a first embodiment of an improved pressure-resistant ankle collar provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the fabric cover. An improved pressure-resistant foot ring includes: a fabric cover 1 and a foam ring 2;
[0027] Water bag 3, the water bag 3 is disposed on the outer surface of the sponge ring 2, a water pipe 4 is disposed on one side of the surface of the water bag 3, a pipe cap is threaded on the outer surface of the water pipe 4, and the cloth cover 1 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sponge ring 2 and the water bag 3.
[0028] The sponge ring 2 is arc-shaped, and the water bag 3 is filled with liquid.
[0029] A zipper can be installed on one side of the outer surface of the fabric cover 1, so that it can be fitted onto the outer surface of the sponge ring 2 and the water bag 3 like a duvet cover.
[0030] The working principle of the improved pressure injury prevention ankle brace provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0031] When in use, the user first adds liquid to the inside of the water bag 3 by installing the water pipe 4. The appropriate liquid temperature can be selected according to the weather. Then, the cloth cover 1 is put on the outer surface of the sponge ring 2 and the water bag 3.
[0032] The user places their leg on the top center of the cloth cover 1. The pressure of the leg presses down on the water bag 3, causing the water inside the water bag 3 to flow outwards, making the surface around the water bag 3 bulge and wrap around the patient's leg.
[0033] Compared with related technologies, the improved pressure-resistant ankle brace provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0034] This invention provides an improved pressure injury prevention foot ring. A water bag 3 is installed on the surface of a sponge ring 2, and a cloth cover 1 is fitted over the outer surfaces of the sponge ring 2 and the water bag 3. When the patient places their foot on the middle of the cloth cover 1, the water bag 3 supports the foot. As the patient's ankle presses against the water bag 3, the water inside the water bag 3 flows outwards, causing the unpressed portion of the water bag 3 to bulge and cover the surface of the patient's ankle. This device has a simple structure and is highly practical. The improved pressure injury prevention foot ring enhances patient comfort and pressure relief, thus improving the device's practicality.
[0035] Second Embodiment
[0036] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 Based on the improved pressure injury prevention ankle collar provided in the first embodiment of this application, the second embodiment of this application proposes another improved pressure injury prevention ankle collar. The second embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.
[0037] Specifically, the difference in the second embodiment of this application regarding the improved pressure injury prevention foot ring is that, in the improved pressure injury prevention foot ring, a connecting block 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the surface of the fabric cover 1, a connecting rope 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block 5, and a stop bar 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting rope 6.
[0038] A connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the other side of the surface of the fabric cover 1. An mounting plate 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the surface of the connecting plate 8. A rotating column 10 is rotatably installed in the middle of the top of the mounting plate 9. A blocking device 16 is threadedly engaged on one side of the surface of the mounting plate 9. The blocking device 16 includes a connecting column 161, a threaded rod 162, and a spring plate 163.
[0039] A connecting hole 12 is provided on one side of the outer surface of the rotating column 10, and a storage groove 11 is provided on the other side of the outer surface of the rotating column 10.
[0040] The bottom of the outer surface of the rotating column 10 is equidistantly surrounded by locking blocks 13. One side of the surface of the locking block 13 is provided with an inclined surface 14, and the other side of the surface of the locking block 13 is provided with a right-angled surface 15.
[0041] The connecting post 161 is disposed on one side of the surface of the mounting plate 9, the threaded rod 162 is threadedly engaged with the surface of the mounting plate 9, and the spring plate 163 is fixedly connected to one side of the surface of the connecting post 161.
[0042] The end of the stop bar 7 passes through the connecting hole 12, so that the connecting rope 6 also passes through the connecting hole 12. After the stop bar 7 is turned horizontally, the stop bar 7 is stuck on the surface of the connecting hole 12 and cannot be removed. The connecting rope 6 is connected to the connecting block 5 and the rotating column 10. When the user is not using this device, it can be hung on the wall or next to the hospital bed by the connecting rope 6.
[0043] A threaded hole is made on the surface of the mounting plate 9, and the threaded rod 162 is threaded inside the threaded hole. The height of the spring plate 163 can be adjusted by rotating the threaded rod 162 to engage the threaded hole.
[0044] A zipper can be installed in the middle of the bottom surface of the fabric cover 1, making it easy to open the zipper and put the fabric cover 1 on the outer surface of the sponge ring 2.
[0045] The working principle of the improved pressure injury prevention ankle brace provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0046] During operation, the stop bar 7, carrying the connecting rope 6, is first passed through the connecting hole 12, so that the stop bar 7 is horizontally blocked on the outer surface of the rotating column 10.
[0047] The user holds the rotating column 10 and rotates it, causing the connecting rope 6 to wrap around the surface of the storage slot 11. Multiple triangular blocks 13 rotate with the rotating column 10. The spring plate 163 abuts against the right angle surface 15 of the block 13 and also fits against the inclined surface 14 of the adjacent block 13. The inclined surface 14 of the triangular block 13 squeezes the spring plate 163, and the triangular block 13 can rotate with the rotating column 10. However, if the rotating column 10 rotates in the opposite direction, the right angle surface 15 of the block 13 abuts against the spring plate 163, and the spring plate 163 cannot twist, so that the rotating column 10 cannot rotate in the opposite direction and can only rotate in one direction, so that the connecting rope 6 wraps around the surface of the storage slot 11, thereby adjusting the two sides of the sponge ring 2 to wrap around the patient's legs and feet.
[0048] When disassembly is required, the user rotates the threaded rod 162 to move upward from the threaded engagement of the mounting plate 9. The threaded rod 162 drives the connecting post 161 and the spring plate 163 to move upward, so that the spring plate 163 is not in contact with the surface of the inclined surface 14, making it convenient to adjust the rotation of the rotating post 10 at will, so that the connecting rope 6 is released from the surface of the storage groove 11, and then passes through the connecting hole 12 through the stop bar 7 to separate from the rotating post 10, no longer restricting the two sides of the cloth cover 1.
[0049] Compared with related technologies, the improved pressure-resistant ankle brace provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0050] This invention provides an improved pressure-resistant foot ring. A connecting rope 6 connects rotating posts 10 and connecting blocks 5 on both sides of a fabric cover 1. The user adjusts the rotation of the rotating posts 10 to tighten the connecting rope 6, pulling the fabric cover 1 closer together, thereby adjusting the tightness of the sponge ring 2 to fit different patients' ankle diameters. This allows the sponge ring 2 to closely conform to the patient's ankle, providing good support and pressure relief. This device allows for one-handed control of the rotating posts 10 to adjust the tightness of the sponge ring 2 around the leg, improving the ease of operation for the patient and enhancing the device's practicality and flexibility.
[0051] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
