Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an exercise device for spinal correction, including hand tension bands 1, two hand tension bands 1 are respectively screwed to the middle of the left and right outer walls of the thoracic segment support 2, a corrugated flexible plate 3 is provided on the front side of the thoracic segment support 2, an inflation mechanism 4 is provided inside the corrugated flexible plate 3, a lumbar segment support 5 is ball-jointed on both sides of the bottom end of the thoracic segment support 2, a pushing mechanism 6 is transversely passed through the left and right sides of the lumbar segment support 5, two foot tension bands 7 are screwed to the middle of the left and right outer walls of the lumbar segment support 5, shoulder straps 8 are provided on both sides of the top end of the thoracic segment support 2, and waist belts 9 are provided on the left and right outer walls of the lumbar segment support 5 directly above the foot tension bands 7.

[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, several pressure sensors A301 are installed at the crest of the wave on the side of the flexible wave plate 3 facing the body.

[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the inflation mechanism 4 includes four airbags 401, which are respectively located in the corrugated recesses inside the corrugated flexible plate 3. Each of the four airbags 401 has an inflation hose 402 inserted into one side. The air inlet end of the inflation hose 402 is provided with an air delivery hose 403. The air inlet end of the air delivery hose 403 is connected to a vacuum pump 404. The air extraction end of the vacuum pump 404 is connected to an extraction pipe 405. The extraction end of the extraction pipe 405 extends laterally through one side of the air storage box 406. The air storage box 406 is located on the rear side of the thoracic support 2.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the waist section support 5 is an elastic I-shaped support.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, several pressure sensors B501 are installed on the side of the horizontal section of the waist support 5 facing the body.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, the pushing mechanism 6 includes two electric push rods 601, which are respectively transversely inserted through both sides of the horizontal section of the waist support 5. The driving end of the electric push rod 601 is provided with a silicone bead pad 602, which faces the side of the body.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both the shoulder straps 8 and the waist belt 9 are elastic, and the opposite ends of both the shoulder straps 8 and the waist belt 9 are provided with Velcro.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the spinal correction exercise device operates as follows:

[0029] First, before use, lay the device flat and observe the connection structure between the thoracic support 2 and the lumbar support 5. Since the bottom two sides of the thoracic support 2 are connected to the lumbar support 5 through ball joints, the user can gently adjust the angle between the two to adapt to the natural curvature angle of the user's spine before wearing it.

[0030] At this point, the wave-shaped flexible plate 3 can be attached to the user's back first, and the shoulder straps 8 on both sides can be wrapped around the shoulders. The Velcro at opposite ends of the shoulder straps 8 can be aligned and glued until the shoulder straps 8 fit snugly but do not constrict the shoulders, thus ensuring the stability of the chest support 2 without wobbling. Then, the horizontal section of the waist support 5 can be attached to the waist, and the waist straps 9 on both sides can be wrapped around the waist and fixed with Velcro, so that the force can keep the waist support 5 close to the waist until there are no obvious gaps, preventing the device from sliding up and down.

[0031] After wearing the device, the support strength of the wave-shaped flexible plate 3 needs to be adjusted according to the chest contour. Since the wave-shaped flexible plate 3 fits snugly against the user's back on the chest support 2, a pressure sensor A301 (FSR-402) is installed at the crest facing the body. At this time, the pressure sensor A301 (FSR-402) will lightly touch the back skin, thus initially sensing the contact pressure. The user can then activate the air pump 404, which draws air from the air storage box 406 through the connected air suction tube 405. This air is then distributed through the air delivery hose 403 to the four inflation hoses 402. During this process, the air flows along the different inflation hoses 402 to... The four airbags 401 inside the wave-shaped flexible plate 3 are inflated. As the airbags 401 expand, the peaks of the wave-shaped flexible plate 3 gradually apply support to the back. The pressure sensor A301 (FSR-402) at the peaks monitors the pressure data in real time and feeds it back to the matching remote control. At this time, the user can adjust the inflation volume of the air pump 404 according to the data or their own feelings. If the pressure is too high, reduce the inflation volume; if the support is insufficient, continue to inflate until the chest feels a uniform and comfortable support. After inflation is complete, the air storage box 406 can store excess air. If deflation is required, the air pump 404 can be reversed to recover the gas in the airbags 401, which is convenient for dynamic adjustment.

[0032] The lumbar support 5, as an elastic I-shaped support, can adapt to lumbar movements through elastic deformation. Simultaneously, it can be combined with the push mechanism 6 for precise correction. During use, the pressure sensor B501 (PW10) installed on the side of the horizontal section of the lumbar support 5 facing the body can contact the user's lumbar skin after wearing the garment and detect the initial pressure distribution in real time, determining whether there is lateral curvature or uneven force. During this time, the user can activate the electric actuators 601 on both sides of the lumbar support 5 via the accompanying remote control based on the data from the pressure sensor B501 (PW10), thus activating the actuators 601 at their drive ends. The silicone bead pad 602 can extend towards the waist. By slowly adjusting the extension length of the electric push rod 601, the silicone bead pad 602 can gradually press against specific parts of the waist. The magnitude of the pressing force is fed back in real time by the pressure sensor B501 (PW10) to avoid excessive force. During this process, the raised bead design on the surface of the silicone bead pad 602 can increase the friction with the skin and provide a slight massage effect to relieve muscle tension. After the pressing is completed, the electric push rod 601 will remain in a fixed state, so that the elastic I-shaped bracket can work together with the pressing force to help correct the lumbar spine posture.

[0033] After the device is fixed in place, the user can actively exercise using the hand resistance band 1 and foot resistance band 7 to strengthen the back and core muscles. Specifically, the user holds the hand resistance band 1 on the middle of the outer wall of the left and right sides of the thoracic support 2 with both hands, palms facing inward or outward, and slowly pulls the hand resistance band 1 to the sides or forward. During this time, the elastic resistance of the hand resistance band 1 will drive the thoracic support 2 and the upper body to exert force, focusing on exercising the rhomboid and trapezius muscles of the back, and improving problems such as rounded shoulders and hunchback. Then, the user hooks or steps on the foot resistance band 7 on the middle of the outer wall of the left and right sides of the lumbar support 5 with both feet, and slowly pulls the foot resistance band 7 downward or backward at the same time. At this time, the strength of the feet can drive the lumbar support 5 and the lower body to exert force, exercising the erector spinae muscles and gluteal muscles of the waist, enhancing core stability, assisting in correcting lumbar lordosis or scoliosis, and fulfilling the dynamic exercise needs during the rehabilitation period.
