[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0027] This application provides a neck trainer that solves the technical problem in the related art where some patients undergoing neck weight-bearing training need to change their training goals and usually need to change to different training devices, which is quite inconvenient.
[0028] See Figure 1 and Figure 3The diagram illustrates a neck trainer according to an embodiment of this application. It may include: a frame 1 containing a head-supporting buffer assembly 2, which surrounds the user's head during use; multiple elastic connectors 3 spaced circumferentially along the head-supporting buffer assembly 2, with one end of each connector connected to the frame 1 and the other end connected to the head-supporting buffer assembly 2; and multiple support members 4 spaced circumferentially along the head-supporting buffer assembly 2, each support member having one end hinged to the frame 1 and the other end being a free end. The free end abuts against the head-supporting buffer assembly 2 to support it, or the free end moves away from the head-supporting buffer assembly 2 to allow it to rest against the inner wall of the frame 1. That is, when only multiple elastic connectors 3 are used to connect the frame 1 and the head-mounted buffer assembly 2, the support 4 is close to the inner wall of the frame 1. When the user wears the neck trainer, the joints have a large range of motion for isotonic training. When, in addition to the elastic connectors 3 connecting the frame 1 and the head-mounted buffer assembly 2, the support 4 also abuts against the frame 1 and the head-mounted buffer assembly 2, the range of motion of the user's neck can be reduced under the action of the support 4 for isometric training.
[0029] This embodiment of the application provides multiple elastic connectors 3 around the periphery of the head-supporting buffer assembly 2. These elastic connectors 3 allow the head-supporting buffer assembly 2 to be installed within the cavity of the frame 1. When the free end of the support member 4 is not in contact with the head-supporting buffer assembly 2, the elastic connectors 3 cooperate with the head-supporting buffer assembly 2, allowing the patient to perform isotonic training. During isotonic training, the patient can improve cervical spine mobility by changing muscle length and generating joint movement. When the patient needs to perform isometric training, the free end is placed against the head-supporting buffer assembly 2. Preferably, the support member 4 can be hinged to the inner wall of the frame 1, allowing the support member 4 to adjust its support angle. The support member 4 restricts the range of motion of the head-supporting buffer assembly 2. Isometric training effectively strengthens the neck muscles while maintaining cervical spine stability, solving the technical problem in related technologies where patients undergoing neck weight-bearing training often need to change to different training equipment when changing training targets, which is inconvenient.
[0030] See Figure 2As shown, in some optional embodiments, the head-supporting cushioning assembly 2 includes an inflatable ring 21, the outer peripheral wall of which is connected to the other end of the elastic connector 3; the free end abuts against the inflatable ring 21 to allow the support member 4 to support the inflatable ring 21. In this embodiment, the inflatable ring 21 can be an airbag. The airbag has a certain elasticity, can adapt to patients with different head shapes, and can also fit closely to the patient's head, providing stable support. In addition, the airbag itself has a certain cushioning performance, which can effectively avoid injury to the patient.
[0031] Preferably, the head-fixing cushioning assembly 2 further includes an elastic band surrounding the inner peripheral wall of the inflatable ring 21. The elastic band surrounding the inner peripheral wall of the inflatable ring 21 further enhances the stability of the head-fixing cushioning assembly 2. When the inflatable ring 21 is fixed to the patient's head, the elastic band provides additional support, preventing the inflatable ring 21 from slipping or shifting. Furthermore, the elastic band itself has a certain degree of elasticity, allowing it to be finely adjusted according to the shape and size of the head, thereby improving the fit between the inflatable ring 21 and the head. This not only improves wearing comfort but also ensures the stability of the head during the fixation process.
[0032] In some optional embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the inflatable ring 21 is provided with multiple support points. These support points are spaced apart circumferentially along the inflatable ring 21, and they cooperate with the free end to allow the support member 4 to support the inflatable ring 21. That is, multiple support points that cooperate with the free end are provided on the outer periphery of the inflatable ring 21. These support points can provide a certain degree of support, and the inflatable ring 21 itself has a certain degree of elasticity. By providing support points so that the free end abuts against them, displacement of the free end can be effectively prevented, enhancing the support stability of the support member 4. Furthermore, the support points can also have a certain degree of hardness. When the free end, which has a certain degree of hardness, abuts against the support point, damage to the inflatable ring 21 by the support member 4 can be effectively prevented. In addition, the support points can also serve as target points for the movement of the support member 4, facilitating adjustment. Preferably, a locking member can also be installed on the inner sidewall of the frame 1. When the support member 4 is attached to the inner sidewall of the frame 1, the locking member can be used to fix the support member 4 to the inner sidewall of the frame 1, preventing movement of the support member 4.
[0033] In some optional embodiments, the neck trainer further includes a chair clamping assembly 5, which is fixed to the outer periphery of the frame 1. By providing the chair clamping assembly 5, the frame 1 can be mounted on a seat. Before the patient uses the chair clamping assembly 5, a seat of appropriate height can be selected according to the patient's height, and then the frame 1 can be mounted on the seat using the chair clamping assembly 5. With the help of the chair clamping assembly 5, the neck trainer can be mounted on seats of various heights, enhancing the adaptability of the neck trainer.
[0034] In some optional embodiments, the chair clamping assembly 5 includes at least two sets of fixing members 51, both sets of fixing members 51 being fixed to the back panel of the frame 1, and the at least two sets of fixing members 51 being arranged at an axial distance along the headrest buffer assembly 2. In this embodiment, two sets of fixing members 51 are provided, and the two sets of fixing members 51 are fixed to the same side back panel of the frame 1, saving arrangement space; the two sets of fixing members 51 being arranged at an axial distance along the headrest buffer assembly 2 can increase the fixing points between the seat and the neck trainer, enhancing the fixation stability of the neck trainer.
[0035] In some optional embodiments, each set of fixing components 51 includes at least two clips, which are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the frame 1. The clips enhance the ease of use of the chair clamping assembly 5, allowing for quick installation and fixation while reducing the complexity of arranging parts on the neck trainer.
[0036] In some optional embodiments, both the top and bottom surfaces of the frame 1 are provided with head-penetrating holes 11, and these holes 11 are coaxially arranged with the head-fixing buffer assembly 2. In this embodiment, the head-penetrating holes 11 on both the top and bottom surfaces of the frame 1 allow the patient's head to pass through both surfaces. During use, the limited space within the frame 1 does not restrict the wearing area of the head-fixing buffer assembly 2, allowing the patient to adjust it to a more suitable or optimal position, thus enhancing comfort.
[0037] In this embodiment, the support member 4 is made of metal. Using metal for the support member 4 provides it with a certain degree of rigidity and a longer service life. In other embodiments, the support member 4 can also be made of other materials with a certain degree of rigidity, such as wood or acrylic.
[0038] Preferably, each of the elastic connectors 3 extends radially along the head-mounted cushioning assembly 2. Setting the elastic connectors 3 to extend radially along the head-mounted cushioning assembly 2 enhances the support stability of the elastic connectors 3. Stronger support helps prevent radial deformation or displacement of the head-mounted cushioning assembly 2 when subjected to external forces, thereby ensuring stable support for the head. Furthermore, the radial extension of the elastic connectors 3 increases the contact area with the head-mounted cushioning assembly 2. A larger contact area means a more uniform pressure distribution, thus improving wearing comfort and cushioning effect.
