[0028] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a wearable spinal traction brace includes a brace body 1 for providing support and traction. There are four brace bodies 1 in total. Each brace body 1 is equipped with a connecting unit 4 and a placement slot 8. Two adjacent brace bodies 1 are connected by the connecting unit 4. Each brace body 1 is equipped with a support unit 3. A central control unit 5 is provided in the placement slot 8. The brace body 1 is worn on the patient and fixed to the patient by the connecting unit 4. The support unit 3 and the brace body 1 provide support and traction for the patient. The central control unit 5 adjusts the support force of the support unit 3 to avoid excessive or insufficient traction force.
[0029] like Figures 1-6As shown, the support unit 3 on the main body 1 of the brace includes an adjustment groove 301 and a screw 303. The adjustment grooves 301 are arranged on the main body 1 of the brace. A movable frame 302 is slidably installed in the adjustment groove 301. The screw 303 is threadedly connected to the movable frame 302. A handwheel 306 is installed at the end of the screw 303. A mounting seat 304 is rotatably installed at the end of the screw 303 located in the adjustment groove 301. The mounting seat 304 is slidably connected to the adjustment groove 301. A pressure sensor 305 is installed on the mounting seat 304. The pressure sensor 305 operates using existing technology. After the main body 1 of the brace is worn on the patient, the movable frame 302 is slid as needed to adjust the contact position between the mounting seat 304, the pressure sensor 305 and the patient. The handwheel 306 is rotated. 06. The handwheel 306 drives the screw 303 to rotate, which in turn moves the mounting base 304 and the pressure sensor 305, causing them to fit against the patient. The pressure sensor 305 detects the force applied by the mounting base 304 to the patient. Different support forces are applied to different parts of the patient by the mounting bases 304 at different positions on the main body 1, and the pressure sensor 305 detects the force applied by the mounting bases 304 at different positions. This allows for precise control of the traction force applied by the main body 1 and the mounting bases 304 to the patient, and timely adjustments can be made as needed to avoid excessive or insufficient traction support force, thereby improving the treatment effect.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the central control unit 5 placed in the slot 8 includes a battery assembly 501, a controller assembly 502, and a wireless transmission assembly 503. The battery assembly 501, controller assembly 502, and wireless transmission assembly 503 operate using existing technology. The battery assembly 501 provides power to the pressure sensor 305, controller assembly 502, and wireless transmission assembly 503. The pressure sensor 305 transmits the detected pressure to the controller assembly 502, and the wireless transmission assembly 503 transmits the detected information to an external display device. This allows for the monitoring of the force applied during support, facilitating precise adjustments as needed.
[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the movable frame 302 is I-shaped and is slidably connected to the support body 1. Because the movable frame 302 is I-shaped, it can be stably locked onto the support body 1, preventing it from detaching from the support body 1 and improving its stability.
[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2The connecting unit 4 on the main body 1 includes a restraint strap 401 and a buckle 402. The restraint strap 401 and the buckle 402 are respectively installed on both sides of the main body 1. The restraint strap 401 on one main body 1 is engaged with the buckle 402 on another main body 1. The engagement of the restraint strap 401 and the buckle 402 adopts existing technology. The restraint strap 401 and the buckle 402 connect adjacent main bodies 1. By adjusting the length of the restraint strap 401 on the buckle 402, the distance between the two main bodies 1 can be adjusted, so that the main body 1 can adapt to different body sizes such as waist, chest or hip circumference, improving the applicability and convenience when wearing.
[0033] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the upper and lower ends of the brace body 1 are both arc-shaped. By setting the arc-shaped surfaces, the upper and lower ends of the brace body 1 can fit better against the patient's body, reducing the discomfort caused to the patient by the upper and lower edges of the brace body 1.
[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 4-6 As shown, a first protective pad 6 is provided on the side of the brace body 1, and a second protective pad 7 is installed on the mounting base 304. The second protective pad 7 covers the pressure sensor 305. The first protective pad 6 and the second protective pad 7 protect the patient, reduce the discomfort caused to the patient when the mounting base 304, pressure sensor 305 and brace body 1 come into contact with the patient's body, and increase the patient's comfort.
[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, a protective cover 9 is rotatably mounted on the side of the main body 1 of the brace. Magnetic attraction mechanisms 10 are provided on both the side of the main body 1 and the protective cover 9. The protective cover 9 covers the adjustment groove 301. The magnetic attraction mechanism 10 adopts existing technology, with opposite magnetic properties on the main body 1 and the protective cover 9. During use, the magnetic attraction mechanism 10 fixes the protective cover 9 to the main body 1 of the brace, thereby limiting and protecting the screw 303 and the handwheel 306. This prevents the handwheel 306 from being touched during use, which would cause the handwheel 306 and the screw 303 to rotate, thus preventing changes in the traction force and affecting the treatment effect.
[0036] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the protective cover 9 is provided with ventilation holes 2, which are connected to the adjustment groove 301. The ventilation holes 2 and the adjustment groove 301 increase the breathability of the brace body 1, reduce the stuffiness of the patient during use, and increase the patient's comfort.
[0037] Working principle: such as Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, four brace bodies 1 are put on the patient's body. The four brace bodies 1 are connected by the restraint straps 401 and the buckles 402. The length of the restraint straps 401 on the buckles 402 is adjusted according to the patient's body shape. The distance between two adjacent brace bodies 1 is adjusted. The brace bodies 1 are adjusted so that the brace bodies 1 fit the patient's body through the first protective pad 6.
[0038] like Figures 1-6 As shown, depending on the different positions of the patient requiring different traction forces, the handwheels 306 at different positions on the main body 1 of the brace are rotated. The handwheels 306 drive the screw 303 to rotate, and the screw 303 drives the mounting base 304 and pressure sensor 305 to move, so that the mounting base 304 and pressure sensor 305 are attached to the patient through the second protective pad 7. The pressure sensor 305 detects the supporting force applied to the patient by the mounting base 304, and transmits the detected pressure to the controller assembly 502. The detected information is also transmitted to the external display device through the wireless transmission assembly 503, which facilitates the monitoring of the forces applied to different positions on the patient.
[0039] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As shown, after the main body 1 of the brace is put on, the protective cover 9 is fixed to the main body 1 of the brace by the magnetic attraction mechanism 10, so that the protective cover 9 covers the screw 303 and the handwheel 306.
[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, during the wearing of the brace body 1, the pressure sensor 305 can monitor the real-time force. At the same time, the ventilation holes 2 and adjustment grooves 301 increase the breathability of the brace body 1, reducing the stuffiness of the patient during use and increasing the patient's comfort.
