Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical assistive device technology, and relates to the field of prostheses, especially high-structure integrated carbon fiber footplates. Background Technology

[0002] Fiber materials, with their high strength, high elasticity, and light weight, are widely used in the field of prostheses. Their development has also shifted from low structural height to high structural height products to adapt to higher sports intensity.

[0003] The most widely used technology in the current market is footplate + leg tube + socket. The lower end of the foot tube is installed with the leg tube through a connecting device, and the upper end of the footplate is installed with the socket through a connecting device. In this process, the leg tubes used are mostly made of metal, and the connecting devices on the footplate used for the upper and lower connection are also made of metal. These metal materials often make the prosthesis heavier overall, affecting the user's wearing experience.

[0004] In addition, the connection mode of foot plate + leg tube + receiving cavity makes the overall weight of such products fail to meet the requirements of lightweighting, increasing the burden on the residual limb and reducing the comfort of wearing them; at the same time, the assembly and debugging of multiple prosthetic parts complicates the assembly process, which indirectly reduces the efficiency of installation and increases the workload.

[0029] Please see the appendix Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model mainly provides a high-structure integrated carbon fiber foot plate, including a connector 1, a main foot plate 2, a base plate 3, and a double lower foot plate structure 4. The main foot plate 2 is used to support back flexion energy storage and leg plate replacement functions; the connector 1 is used to connect to an external prosthesis; the base plate 3 is used to realize auxiliary energy storage for plantar flexion and back flexion; and the double lower foot plate structure 4 is used to realize energy storage for plantar flexion.

[0030] In this embodiment, the main foot plate 2 includes a leg plate 21 and an upper foot plate 22 that are integrally connected from top to bottom. The upper end of the leg plate 21 is connected to the lower end of the connector 1 via a fastener 23, and the tail end of the leg plate 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the double lower foot plate structure 4 via a connector 24. The base plate 3 is located below the upper foot plate 22, with one end fixedly connected to the upper foot plate 22 and the other end fixedly connected to the double lower foot plate structure 4. It should be noted that the fastener 23 can be fastened with bolts or other connection methods such as bonding. The connector 24 can be fixed with wire bundles (the wire bundles are made of composite material mainly composed of carbon fiber or glass fiber, which are connected and fixed by winding) or bolts to connect the double lower foot plate structure and the leg plate together. The connection can be decorated with a protective sleeve to improve the overall aesthetics. In addition, in this embodiment, the outer wall of the connector 1 is also surrounded by multiple connecting bolts 12, wherein the upper end of the connector is mainly used to connect the external prosthesis.

[0031] In this embodiment, the double lower foot plate structure 4 includes a first lower foot plate 41 and a second lower foot plate 42, which are arranged side by side. This arrangement enables it to have both energy storage and impact protection functions. One end of the first lower foot plate 41 and one end of the second lower foot plate 42 are fixed to the leg plate 21 by a connector 23. The other end of the first lower foot plate 41 is connected to the base plate 3. The other end of the second lower foot plate 42 is located above the base plate 3. A gap 43 is provided between the first lower foot plate 41 and the second lower foot plate 42. When the plantar flexion reaches a certain deformation, the front end of the second lower foot plate 42 contacts the first lower foot plate 41, realizing backbend impact protection. When the deformation further increases, it achieves an auxiliary energy storage effect, giving the product a better service life. In addition, the special triangular structure between the first lower foot plate 41, the upper foot plate 22, and the base plate 3 can achieve a more stable structure, and they assist each other to enhance energy storage, while also restraining each other to enhance impact resistance.

[0032] In this embodiment, both the first footplate 41 and the second footplate 42 are V-shaped, with the size of the first footplate 41 being larger than that of the second footplate 42. This design enables better energy storage, making it easier and more comfortable for users to walk, run, or jump.

[0033] In this embodiment, a foot pad 5 is provided between the first lower foot plate 41 and the base plate 3; a foot ball pad 6 is provided between the upper foot plate 22 and the base plate 3; the foot ball pad 6 and the foot pad 5 can play a good cushioning and protection role, which can effectively avoid damage caused by collision and contact friction when the upper / lower foot plates are working, and improve the stability and durability during use; the base plate connected below can enhance the stability when standing, and at the same time play an auxiliary energy storage effect of plantar flexion and dorsiflexion.

[0034] In this embodiment, the upper foot plate 22 is an arc-shaped plate, which can further match the physiological structure of the human foot and improve the wearing effect. At the same time, the bottom plate 3 is set to the full length of the foot, making walking more stable and providing better rolling, thus providing users with a better walking experience.

[0035] It should be noted that the main footplate of this utility model adopts an integrated design of the footplate and legplate, which avoids the complexity of the installation process, reduces the difficulty of operation, better realizes the overall lightweight design of the prosthesis, reduces the burden on the residual limb, and provides users with better wearing comfort. At the same time, the main footplate, base plate, and double lower footplate structure are all made of carbon fiber, further reducing the overall weight of the prosthesis and improving the patient's wearing comfort. In addition, the double lower footplate structure on the main footplate can provide dual energy storage and impact protection. Because the product meets the strong sports requirements, the impact force caused by the heel landing during running and jumping will be much greater (the heel will bear 1.25 times the body weight when walking and 2.75 times the body weight when running). At the same time, the triangular structure of the main footplate, the first lower footplate, and the base plate can achieve a more stable effect, and they mutually enhance energy storage and restrain each other to enhance impact resistance.

Those skilled in the art will readily make various modifications to these contents and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without inventive effort. Therefore, this invention is not limited to the foregoing descriptions and embodiments.
