Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of finger rehabilitation products, and in particular, to an inflatable anti-finger contracture finger separator. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, tendon rupture repair surgery is a procedure required for many patients with hand injuries. Because once a tendon in the hand is ruptured or strained, it will atrophy at both ends and is difficult to heal on its own. As a result, it will be difficult to bend the tendon and it will not be able to reach the normal range of motion. There will be a stiff and tight feeling. At this time, a finger separator is needed to exercise the patient's hand, mainly by flexion and extension, to straighten the fingers as much as possible to prevent adhesions and muscle contractures.

[0003] The hand injury exercise device provided in announcement number "CN201871181U" involves placing an elastic grip device in the patient's palm. By gripping and relaxing the device, the patient can exercise the tendons on the back of the hand, thus preventing adhesions and muscle contractures. The device also includes multiple finger fixation devices to immobilize the fingers. An elastic band connects the finger fixation devices to the grip device. During use, the patient places their fingers into the fixation devices, and the elastic band allows for finger flexion and extension exercises, further preventing postoperative adhesions of the finger tendons.

[0004] However, the above technical solutions and existing technologies have the following drawbacks:

[0005] Although this exerciser can exercise the patient's fingers, the elastic band between the finger fixation device and the elastic grip device is not capable of straightening the bent patient's fingers, and the elastic band is also very easy for the finger sleeves to slip off during use, making it impractical. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes an inflatable anti-finger contracture finger separator, which, by setting an inflatable straightening component, can straighten the bent fingers of the user's left hand to prevent adhesion and muscle contracture of the bent fingers.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] An inflatable anti-finger contracture finger separator includes a finger separator and a training glove. The finger separator is fixedly connected to the upper inner side of the training glove. An inflatable straightening component is provided at the front end of the finger separator, and the inflatable straightening component is used to straighten the bent fingers of the user's left hand. The inflatable straightening component includes a miniature air pump and a straightening air column corresponding to the training glove. The top of the straightening air column is fixedly connected to the front end face of the finger separator, and the lower end face extends out of the training glove. The output end of the miniature air pump is connected to the air inlet end of the lower end face of the straightening air column.

[0009] Furthermore, a first air guide hose is fixedly connected to the air inlet end of the lower end face of the extended air column, and the first air guide hose and the extended air column are an integral structure. A first switch valve is connected to the air inlet end of the lower end face of the first air guide hose, a first connecting hose is connected to the inlet end of the lower end face of the first switch valve, and a main air guide pipe is connected to the inlet end of the lower end face of the first connecting hose. The main air guide pipe is used to connect to the output end of the micro air pump.

[0010] Furthermore, an exhaust valve is installed on the right end face of the main air duct.

[0011] Furthermore, an air inlet hose is provided between the lower inlet of the annular side of the main air duct and the output end of the micro air pump.

[0012] Furthermore, the finger sleeves are provided in five sets, and the five sets of finger sleeves are of the same specification. Each of the five sets of finger sleeves has an inner lining sheet on its inner annular side, and the inner lining sheet is made of silicone rubber.

[0013] Furthermore, a control switch is installed on the upper surface of the miniature air pump.

[0014] Furthermore, a spherical airbag is fixedly connected to the palm of the outer surface of the training glove, and a second air guide hose is fixedly connected to the side of the spherical airbag. A second switch valve is connected to the lower end of the second air guide hose, and the inlet of the second switch valve is connected to the main air guide pipe through a second connecting hose.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. By incorporating an inflatable straightening component, the user's bent left hand fingers can be straightened to prevent adhesions and muscle contractures.

[0017] 2. By activating the mini air pump, air is pumped into the main air pipe through the inlet hose. The main air pipe then guides the pumped air through the first connecting hose and the first switch valve to the first air delivery hose. The first air delivery hose then delivers the air to the corresponding straightening air column for inflation. The inflated straightening air column gradually straightens and becomes firm, supporting the corresponding finger sleeve. This allows the finger sleeve to straighten the inserted finger, thus preventing adhesions or muscle contractures in the fingers after tendon surgery. During this process, the unopened first switch valve prevents air from the main air pipe from entering the corresponding first air delivery hose and straightening air column. This allows users to control one or more of the five sets of straightening air columns for ventilation as needed, making it highly practical.

[0018] In addition to the objectives, features, and advantages described above, this utility model has other objectives, features, and advantages. The present utility model will now be described in further detail with reference to the figures. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a preferred embodiment of an inflatable anti-finger contracture finger separator, comprising a finger separator 100 and a training glove 200. The training glove 200 is made of rubber and is convenient for the user's left hand to wear. The finger separator 100 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the inside of the training glove 200. An inflatable straightening component 300 is provided at the front end of the finger separator 100, and the inflatable straightening component 300 is used to straighten the bent fingers of the user's left hand. Five sets of finger separators 100 are provided, and the five sets of finger separators 100 are of the same size. The five sets of finger separators 100 are convenient for the user's five fingers to wear. Each of the five sets of finger separators 100 has an inner lining 101 on its inner annular side. The inner lining 101 is made of silicone rubber, and the silicone rubber inner lining 101 makes the finger separator 100 more comfortable to wear.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown, a spherical airbag 400 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the training glove 200, and the spherical airbag 400 is fixedly connected to the palm position of the outer surface of the training glove 200. The spherical airbag 400 and the training glove 200 are an integral structure. After being inflated, the spherical airbag 400 can prevent the user's left hand from clenching into a fist. A second air guide hose 401 is fixedly connected to the side of the spherical airbag 400, and the second air guide hose 401 is an integral structure with the spherical airbag 400. The second air guide hose 401 can discharge the second switch valve 402. Air is introduced into the spherical airbag 400 to inflate it. The lower end of the second air guide hose 401 is connected to a second switch valve 402. The second switch valve 402 is connected to the second connecting hose 403 and the second air guide hose 401 respectively. The second switch valve 402 allows the user to control the flow of air into the second air guide hose 401. The inlet of the second switch valve 402 is connected to the second connecting hose 403, which is connected to the main air guide pipe 303. The second connecting hose 403 can introduce air from the main air guide pipe 303 into the second switch valve 402.

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the inflatable straightening assembly 300 includes a miniature air pump 308 and straightening air columns 301. The straightening air columns 301 are fixedly connected to the front end of the finger sleeve 100. There are five sets of straightening air columns 301. The straightening air columns 301 have a hollow structure. The straightening air columns 301 are connected and fixed to the finger sleeve 100 and the training glove 200 by adhesive. The five sets of straightening air columns 301 with hollow structure can straighten and support the five sets of finger sleeves 100 when they are full of air. After being deflated, they become soft and flexible so that users can wear the finger sleeves 100. The miniature air pump 308 is installed below the straightening air columns 301. When working, the miniature air pump 308 can inflate the air inlet hose 304.

[0033] A first air guide hose 307 is fixedly connected to the air inlet end of the lower face of the extended air column 301, and the first air guide hose 307 and the extended air column 301 are an integral structure. Five sets of the first air guide hose 307 are fixedly connected. The first air guide hose 307 is connected to the extended air column 301 and can guide air into the interior of the extended air column 301. A first switching valve 306 is connected to the air inlet end of the lower face of the first air guide hose 307. Five sets of the first switching valve 306 are connected. All five sets of first switch valves 306 are identical in specifications, allowing users to control the flow of air into the five sets of first air guide hoses 307. A first connecting hose 305 is connected to the inlet of the lower end face of each first switch valve 306. Five sets of first connecting hoses 305 are connected, and all five sets are identical in specifications. Each first connecting hose 305 is connected to the main air guide pipe 303, enabling it to guide air from the main air guide pipe 303 to the first switch valve 306.

[0034] A main air duct 303 is connected to the lower end inlet of the first connecting hose 305. The main air duct 303 is connected to the air intake hose 304. The main air duct 303 can distribute air to the five sets of first connecting hoses 305. An exhaust valve 302 is installed on the right end of the main air duct 303. When the exhaust valve 302 is opened, it can discharge the air in the main air duct 303. An air intake hose 304 is connected to the lower inlet of the annular side of the main air duct 303. The inlet of the air intake hose 304 is connected to the outlet of the mini air pump 308. The air intake hose 304 can... The air discharged by the mini air pump 308 is guided to the air duct 303. A control switch 3081 is installed on the upper surface of the mini air pump 308. The power input terminal of the control switch 3081 is connected to an external fixed power supply through a wire, and the power output terminal of the control switch 3081 is connected to the mini air pump 308 through a wire. The control switch 3081 makes it convenient for users to control the mini air pump 308. Since the internal detailed structure and working principle of the control switch 3081 are relatively mature technologies in the existing technology, they will not be described in detail here.

[0035] Working principle: The user first puts on the training glove 200 with their left hand. During this process, the five fingers of the left hand need to be inserted into the corresponding five-part finger sleeves 100. After insertion, the corresponding first switch valve 306 and second switch valve 402 are opened. Then, the micro air pump 308 can be started by controlling the switch 3081, causing the micro air pump 308 to work and pump air into the air inlet hose 304. The air inlet hose 304 will guide the air into the air manifold 303. The air entering the air manifold 303 will pass through the first connecting hose 305 and the first switch valve. Air 306 enters the corresponding first air guide hose 307, which then guides air to the corresponding straightening air column 301 for inflation. The straightening air column 301 gradually straightens and becomes firm, supporting the corresponding finger sleeve 100 so that the finger sleeve 100 can assist the inserted fingers in straightening exercises. Simultaneously, some air entering the main air guide pipe 303 passes sequentially through the second connecting hose 403, the second switch valve 402, and the second air guide hose 401 into the spherical airbag 400 for inflation, causing the spherical airbag 400 to expand. The bladder 400 prevents the user's left hand from easily clenching into a fist while wearing the training glove 200, thus preventing finger adhesions or muscle contractures after tendon surgery. During this process, the unopened first switch valve 306 blocks air from entering the corresponding first air hose 307 and the straightening air column 301 from the main air supply pipe 303, allowing the user to control one or more of the five straightening air columns 301 for ventilation as needed. Once the straightening air column 301 is fully inflated, the micro air pump 308 can be turned off. Furthermore, the hand support plate 201 not only provides support for the back of the user's left hand... The system not only provides a blocking limit but also restricts the movement of the five sets of first air guide hoses 307 and straight air columns 301, preventing them from becoming loose during use. Later, users only need to open the exhaust valve 302 to expel the air from the main air guide pipe 303, the first connecting hose 305, the first air guide hose 307, the straight air column 301, the second air guide hose 401, and the second connecting hose 403. This deflates the straight air column 301 and the spherical airbag 400, making them soft and bend, so that the user can pull their left hand out of the training glove 200.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
