According to medical statistics, approximately 25 million people worldwide suffer from lymphedema, with breast cancer-related lymphedema being the most common, occurring in about 20%-40% of breast cancer patients after surgery. Lymphedema not only affects the appearance of the limbs but also causes pain, limited mobility, and significantly reduces the patient's quality of life.
[0003] Currently, physical therapy is one of the important means of treating lymphedema, among which massage therapy is effective in relieving symptoms by promoting lymphatic fluid return. However, in actual treatment, traditional treatment beds are mostly fixed structures, and the position of the massage equipment is not adjustable or the adjustment method is limited, making it difficult to accurately adapt to different patients' relaxed body postures and lymphedema sites, resulting in a significant reduction in the massage effect. Moreover, the operation of existing treatment beds is complicated, and patients often cannot adjust the position of the massage components themselves. In clinical treatment, frequent manual adjustments by medical staff consume a lot of time and energy, resulting in low work efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new special bed for the treatment of lymphedema to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 A special bed for treating lymphedema includes: a bed body 1, with side embedding grooves 11 on both sides of the bed body 1, a backrest 2 fixedly connected to one end of the bed body 1, an adjustment seat 3 in each of the two side embedding grooves 11, and a massage component 31 installed on each of the two adjustment seats 3; an adaptation adjustment mechanism, including a main shaft 4, with one end of the main shaft 4 fixedly connected to the adjustment seat 3, and one end of the main shaft 4 rotatably connected to the side embedding groove 11, a disc shell 41 fixedly connected to the lower part of the side embedding groove 11, and the lower end of the main shaft 4 rotatably connected to the middle shell wall of the disc shell 41, with a self-control component inside the disc shell 41.
[0024] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the automatic control component includes a gear 42, which is located inside the disc housing 41. The gear 42 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the main shaft 4. A locking rack 43 is provided on one side of the gear 42. A combination seat 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the disc housing 41. An internal tube 51 is fixedly connected inside the combination seat 5. A slide rod 6 is slidably connected to one end of the internal tube 51. One end of the slide rod 6 is fixedly connected to the back wall of the locking rack 43.
[0025] It should be noted that this self-control component constitutes the core control structure for the angle adjustment of the adjusting seat 3. The fixed connection between the gear 42 and the lower end of the main shaft 4 allows the rotation of the main shaft 4 to directly drive the gear 42 to rotate synchronously, while the meshing relationship between the locking rack 43 and the gear 42 determines the locking and unlocking state of the adjusting seat 3.
[0026] When the slide bar 6 slides under the action of external force, it can drive the locking rack 43 to move, realize the engagement and disengagement with the gear 42, and thus control whether the adjustment seat 3 can rotate, providing a key power control method for adjusting the position of the massage component 31.
[0027] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the slide rod 6 is provided with a built-in cam, which is located inside the built-in tube 51. A spring 61 is sleeved on the slide rod 6. One end of the spring 61 is connected to the built-in cam, and the other end of the spring 61 is connected to the inside of the built-in tube 51.
[0028] It should be noted that the combination design of the built-in cam and spring 61 gives the slide rod 6 the function of automatic reset. When the slide rod 6 is pulled to disengage the locking rack 43 from the gear 42, the spring 61 is stretched and stores elastic potential energy. Once the external force is removed, the spring 61 releases energy, pushes the built-in cam and slide rod 6 to reset, and drives the locking rack 43 to re-engage with the gear 42, locking the adjusting seat 3 in the current position.
[0029] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, mating cylinders are provided on both sides of the combination seat 5, and limiting rods 52 are provided at both ends of the locking rack 43. The two limiting rods 52 are slidably connected to the two mating cylinders respectively.
[0030] It should be noted that the fitting cylinder and the limiting rod 52 provide precise guidance and limiting for the movement of the locking rack 43. During the movement of the locking rack 43 driven by the slide rod 6, the limiting rod 52 slides within the fitting cylinder, ensuring that the locking rack 43 always moves in a straight line, preventing deviation or wobbling.
[0031] refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the other end of the slide bar 6 is provided with a pull plate, and a cable 7 is fixedly connected to the pull plate.
[0032] It should be noted that the combination of the traction plate and the cable 7 enables remote control of the slide bar 6. By pulling the cable 7, the user can easily move the slide bar 6, thereby controlling the engagement / disengagement of the locking rack 43 and the gear 42. This design allows patients or medical staff to unlock the adjustment seat 3 from a convenient location around the bed 1 without directly contacting the self-control components, greatly improving ease of operation, especially for patients with limited mobility.
[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, one end of the built-in tube 51 is fixedly connected to a connecting tube 8, and an extension tube 81 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bed body 1. The other end of the connecting tube 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the extension tube 81.
[0034] It should be noted that the connecting pipe 8 and the extension pipe 81 together form the guiding and protective channel for the cable 7. They not only guide the cable 7 from the location of the automatic control component to an easily accessible position on the side wall of the bed 1, preventing the cable 7 from getting tangled inside the bed 1 or being interfered with by other components, but also protect the cable 7 from damage due to friction, collision, etc., thus extending the service life of the cable 7.
[0035] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cable 7 is located inside the connecting pipe 8, and the other end of the cable 7 is located inside the extension pipe 81. The other end of the cable 7 is fixedly connected to the handle 9.
[0036] It should be noted that by pulling the handle 9, the user can precisely control the displacement of the cable 7, and thus precisely control the movement of the slide bar 6 and the locking rack 43, achieving fine adjustment of the angle of the adjusting seat 3. This intuitive and convenient operation method lowers the barrier to entry for using the equipment and improves the accuracy and comfort of operation.
[0037] The working principle of the special bed for treating lymphedema provided by this utility model is as follows: The patient or medical staff can pull the handle 9 to make the cable 7 slide relative to the inside of the connecting tube 8 and the extension tube 81. One end of the cable 7 drives the traction plate, and the traction plate drives the slide rod 6 to slide relative to the inner tube 51. The spring 61 undergoes elastic deformation, so that one end of the slide rod 6 drives the locking rack 43 to slide away from the gear 42, thereby releasing the lock on the gear 42.
[0038] Patients or medical staff can rotate the adjustment seat 3, causing the massage component 31 to rotate and adjust to a suitable position. One end of the adjustment seat 3 drives the main shaft 4 to rotate relative to the side embedding groove 11, causing the lower end of the main shaft 4 to drive the gear 42 to rotate relative to the shell wall of the disc shell 41. This allows for quick and convenient adjustment of the adjustment seat 3 to a suitable inclined position, enabling the massage component 31 to adaptively adjust to a suitable relaxation position for the human body. This allows for massage therapy on corresponding parts of the patient's body, promoting lymphatic circulation and relieving lymphedema symptoms. The massage component 31 can better adapt to different body parts and treatment needs of patients, improving treatment effectiveness.
[0039] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
