Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of orthodontic technology, specifically relating to a pectus carinatum orthodontic device. Background Technology

[0002] Pigeon chest is a common chest wall deformity in childhood, characterized by a forward-protruding sternum with concave adjacent costal cartilages and ribs, resembling the breast of a chicken or pigeon. The shape of the sternum in pigeon chest varies, including arched forward protrusion, asymmetrical, manubrium protrusion, and sternal elevation.

[0003] In the existing technology, there are many types of pectus carinatum correction devices, which mainly achieve correction by compressing the deformed area with a correction component. For example, patent publication number CN 213489589 U describes a correction component for pectus carinatum correction devices, which uses a movable correction plate on the mounting part to adjust the pressure of the movable correction plate on the chest as needed, thereby improving the correction effect; patent publication number CN211187681U describes a pectus carinatum correction device, which places a soft pad on the front fixing plate of the correction device to match the protruding sternum, achieving maximum pressure application while reducing pain, ensuring treatment effectiveness and alleviating patient suffering. Because the sternum shape varies in pectus carinatum, the above-mentioned conventional correction plates are not suitable for various sternal shapes, resulting in inconsistent correction, misunderstandings, or the need to replace or select a suitable correction plate. Utility model searches have yielded correction devices for left-right and top-bottom asymmetry in pectus carinatum, such as patent publication number CN221180740. U is a type of pigeon chest posture corrector, but such a structure only increases the number of corrective plates without substantially changing the shape of the corrective plate. The corrective plate cannot make adaptive adjustments to the specific convex shape of the pigeon chest sternum. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a pigeon chest corrector. This pigeon chest corrector can be adjusted to adapt to various types of sternal protrusion, so that the corrector plate can better correspond to the pigeon chest, resulting in more accurate correction and the best correction effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] The pectus excavatum corrector includes a fixing part and a corrective plate. The fixing part includes a plurality of first adjusting members and second adjusting members. The first adjusting members and second adjusting members cooperate with each other to form uneven pressure and change the plane state of the corrective plate, so that it is concave and convex to adapt to the convex shape of the sternum.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing part is provided with a number of first adjustment component mounting holes and second adjustment component mounting holes. The first adjustment component mounting holes are designed with an internal thread structure. The first adjustment component is installed in the first adjustment component mounting hole, and the second adjustment component is installed in the second adjustment component mounting hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the first adjusting component includes a first knob connected to a stud, the end of which is designed as a ball-shaped extrusion block, which better facilitates the deformation of the straightening plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the second adjusting component includes a second knob, which is connected to a rotating part, and the rotating part is provided with a spiral guide groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a correction plate is installed at the bottom of the fixing part. The correction plate is a deformable panel. A pressing block movable groove is installed on the panel corresponding to the first adjusting member, and a support column is installed on the panel corresponding to the second adjusting member.

[0011] Furthermore, the extrusion block is designed as a slider, and the extrusion block's movable groove is designed as a slide.

[0012] Furthermore, the top of the support column is located within a spiral guide groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixing part includes a top cover and a middle mounting part, wherein an adjusting plate is installed through the middle mounting part and the straightening plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the correction plate is equipped with several pressure sensors, and the values ​​detected by the pressure sensors are displayed on the display screen on the top cover, with scales around the knob.

[0015] The above technical solution can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0016] Compared with existing pectus carinatum correctors, this invention can make adaptive adjustments to the convex sternum of pectus carinatum. Specifically, the second adjusting member serves as the central fulcrum, and the first adjusting members on both sides apply pressure to the correcting plate, so that the correcting plate changes from a flat state to a concave-convex state, thereby adapting to the convex sternum.

[0017] This invention is suitable for various pigeon chest shapes, including arched anterior protrusion, asymmetrical, sternal manubrium protrusion, and sternal elevation. Furthermore, with the adjustment components, the corrective plate is formed to correspond to the shape of the pigeon chest. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the pectus carinatum corrector includes a fixing part and a correcting plate 3. The fixing part includes several first adjusting members 5 and second adjusting members 4. The first adjusting members and second adjusting members cooperate with each other to form uneven pressure and change the plane state of the correcting plate, so that it is concave and convex to adapt to the convex shape of the sternum.

[0029] The fixing part includes a top cover 1 and a middle mounting part 2. The middle mounting part and the correction plate are provided with an adjustment plate through hole for installing the adjustment plate. The adjustment plate is then connected to the fixing components such as the connector and shoulder strap, and worn on the user's body. Daily wear can correct pectus carinatum. For the final usage state, please refer to the applicant's prior design application, authorization announcement number CN309072619S.

[0030] The first adjusting member 5 and the second adjusting member 4 installed in the fixing part of this utility model are usually arranged in a matrix. The second adjusting member 4 needs to be located in the middle of several first adjusting members 5 so that the second adjusting member 4 can act as a fulcrum, which is conducive to the deformation of the correction plate. Secondly, the number of the first adjusting members 5 and the second adjusting member 4 can be selected according to the size of the pectus excavatum corrector.

[0031] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the top cover 1 of the fixing part and the middle mounting part 2 have six mounting holes arranged in a matrix. The specific layout of the six mounting holes is as follows: the mounting holes in the first row at the top and the third row at the bottom are the mounting holes for the first adjusting member, and the mounting holes in the second row in the middle are the mounting holes for the second adjusting member. Therefore, the first adjusting member is installed in the first adjusting member mounting hole, and the second adjusting member is installed in the second adjusting member mounting hole.

[0032] Figure 3 As shown, the first adjusting component includes a first knob 51, a first knob connecting stud 53, a pressing block 54 installed at the end of the stud, a nut 52 installed in the first adjusting component mounting hole, and the front end of the pressing block 54 is designed as a slider. The corresponding straightening plate is provided with a pressing block movable groove, which is a slide. When the straightening plate is deformed and produces an uneven state, there is a relative displacement between the fixed first adjusting component and the deformed straightening plate. This requires the cooperation of the slide-type pressing block movable groove and the slider-type pressing block to meet the displacement condition. Otherwise, the straightening plate is prone to breakage or fracture.

[0033] The first knob 51 is fixed to the middle mounting part 2 by the fastener 55.

[0034] Figure 4 As shown, the second adjusting component includes a second knob 41, which is connected to a rotating part 42. The rotating part has a spiral guide groove. The rotating part 42 is installed in the mounting hole of the second adjusting component, and a support column is installed in the spiral guide groove. The support column is fixed to the straightening plate.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the first knob 51 and the second knob 41 are equipped with inner rings 8, and the corresponding studs 53 are equipped with knob bases. The outer ring 9 is installed inside the knob base. Ball bearings are installed between the inner ring 8 of the first knob 51 and the outer ring 8 of the knob base. Similarly, the rotating part 42 of the second adjusting member is also equipped with a knob base. The outer ring 9 is installed inside the knob base. Ball bearings are installed between the inner ring 8 of the second knob 41 and the outer ring 8 of the knob base. The above structure constitutes a ball bearing. This structure enables the knob to rotate smoothly and achieve the squeezing of the straightening plate. The advantage of this structure is that even when the knob and the spiral structure of the straightening plate generate large pressure, they can still rotate effectively. There is no problem that the knob and the spiral structure cannot rotate smoothly or get stuck under pressure.

[0036] Based on the above embodiments: the correction plate adopts a deformable panel, the first row at the top and the third row at the bottom of the panel are designed as arc-shaped tracks 7, and the front slider of the extrusion block 54 is also designed as an arc shape, so as to conform to the convex or concave deformation movement of the panel. The second row in the middle is a fixed support column 6, and the top of the support column 6 is installed in a spiral guide groove.

[0037] The direction of the arc track 7 can be horizontal, vertical, or diagonal, and can be designed according to actual needs.

[0038] The top cover 1 of the fixing part is installed on the surface of the intermediate mounting part 2 by means of a clip. An adjustment plate through hole is provided in the middle of the intermediate mounting part 2, and the straightening plate 3 is provided with a groove for the adjustment plate through hole.

[0039] In this embodiment, several pressure sensors are configured on the correction plate. The values ​​detected by the pressure sensors are displayed on the display screen on the top cover. Specifically, the pressure sensors are installed at the corresponding positions of the first and second adjustment components. This allows for a clear understanding of the pressure applied at each point. Additionally, scales are set around the knob to help the user roughly understand the approximate pressure generated by the knob angle.

[0040] Specific application principle:

[0041] Case 1: The sternal angle protrudes to the lower right side of the chest ( Figure 6 (The shaded area shown is the raised part)

[0042] Initially, the orthotic plate is pressed down in a flat state for correction. Once the most prominent point is pressed, the orthotic needs adjustment. That is, if the current orthotic is no longer sufficient to achieve the corrective purpose after pressing down the most prominent point of the sternum, then... Figure 5 As shown, you need to rotate the knobs on both sides of the first row (first knob) and the middle knob (second knob). Specifically, rotate the middle knob (second knob) 90 degrees clockwise so that the middle support column supports the correction plate. Then rotate the first knobs on both sides counterclockwise by half a turn. This will make the upper part of the correction plate convex in the middle, so that the sternal angle can be targeted and pressed. Figure 6 The upper middle section is shaded and raised. Rotating the lower left knob (the first knob on the left of the second row) clockwise applies pressure to the straightening plate, creating the raised state. Figure 6 Apply heavy pressure to the lower left protruding part. This perfectly adapts to the chest shape where the sternal angle protrudes to the right side of the lower chest, achieving the best corrective effect. During the adjustment process, the pressure at each pressure point will be displayed on the pressure sensor screen, allowing the patient to better fine-tune the pressure according to the actual situation.

[0043] Case 2: The junction of the sternum and ribs is convex, and the middle and lower part of the sternum is concave. Figure 7 The central elliptical section is concave, while the two sides are convex at the connection points.

[0044] After wearing the brace, rotate the first knob on both the top and bottom rows clockwise one full turn, and rotate the two middle knobs (the second knobs) clockwise 90 degrees, so that the sides of the brace's corrective plate are convex and the middle is concave. Figure 7 As shown in the image, this allows for focused pressure on the protruding part where the sternum and ribs connect, enabling the ribs on both sides to extend outwards for optimal correction. The position of the depression can be fine-tuned, and each pressure point can be displayed on the sensor screen during the adjustment process, allowing the patient to better fine-tune the pressure.

[0045] When wearing it, insert the adjustment plate into the adjustment plate hole of this utility model, connect the two ends of the adjustment plate to the connector, and wear it on the patient's chest through the shoulder strap, and adjust it to a suitable position.

[0046] This invention can also be used in conjunction with rib flaring correction, which can reduce the degree of rib flaring.

[0047] The above descriptions are all preferred embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, any modifications to this utility model in various equivalent forms without departing from the principle of this utility model shall fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.
