Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a reduction and care splint, specifically a reduction and care splint for leg bone fractures, belonging to the field of leg bone technology. Background Technology
[0002] Leg bones refer to the bones of the lower limbs, including the femur, tibia, and fibula. The main functions of the lower limb bones are to support the body, bear weight, and facilitate walking; therefore, they are robust and sturdy in shape. The components of the leg bones, such as the femur, tibia, and fibula, play a vital role in the human body, ensuring stability and motor function.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent CN214342856U, which discloses an adjustable leg splint for orthopedics, comprising a first splint, a first rotating mechanism, and a second rotating mechanism. In this invention, the tension range of the first and second clamps is adjusted by rotating the first rotating mechanism, thus saving time in fixing the splint. By adjusting the tightness of the screws on the surface of the second splint, the third and fourth clamps are adjusted to the position of the leg fracture, reducing the likelihood of displacement at the fracture site. This optimizes the patient's treatment experience, conserves the doctor's physical strength and energy, and allows the injured patient to recover their health sooner.
[0004] While the above solutions save time on fixing the splint, the leg bone splint in the aforementioned patent is difficult to quickly provide feedback on the tightness. In actual use, the leg bone size varies from person to person, resulting in low applicability. Therefore, we provide a reduction and care splint for leg bone fractures to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0026] This utility model provides a splint for reducing and caring for leg fractures.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 The device includes a nursing splint 1 and red / green indicator lights 7. The nursing splint 1 provides strong support for the patient's leg bones, preventing re-dislocation and accelerating the recovery of the leg bones. The nursing splint 1 is fixedly connected to a heating strip 18, which is connected to an external connector 19. Both the heating strip 18 and the external connector 19 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail. The heating strip 18 enables the nursing splint 1 to have a heating effect, improving the patient's comfort during use.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The nursing splint 1 is fixedly connected to the component protective shell 9. The component protective shell 9 can effectively protect its internal components, making them less susceptible to external interference and extending their service life. The component protective shell 9 is equipped with a linkage bearing 10 for internal rotation. The linkage bearing 10 can effectively enable multiple subsequent components to move synchronously, keeping their rotation speed consistent.
[0029] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 A planar worm gear 14 is fixedly installed on the outer circumferential surface of the linkage bearing 10. The teeth on the outer circumferential surface of the planar worm gear 14 mesh with the threads on the outer circumferential surface of the one-way worm 15. The tight fit between the planar worm gear 14 and the one-way worm 15 has a self-locking effect and facilitates operation by the staff.
[0030] Please see Figure 5 The one-way worm gear 15 rotates inside the component protective housing 9. The component protective housing 9 provides support and limit for the one-way worm gear 15, ensuring that the one-way worm gear 15 rotates in place. An external turntable 16 is fixedly installed at one end of the one-way worm gear 15. The surface of the external turntable 16 is provided with anti-slip texture to save the labor of the workers.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 A planar gear 11 is fixedly mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the linkage bearing 10. The teeth on the outer circumferential surface of the planar gear 11 mesh with the teeth on one side of the strip toothed belt 12. The tight fit between the planar gear 11 and the strip toothed belt 12 allows the strip toothed belt 12 to move when the planar gear 11 rotates.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 There are two sets of toothed strips 12. The two sets of toothed strips 12 are connected to the nursing clamp 1 through positioning modules 13. There are two sets of positioning modules 13. The positioning modules 13 can restrict one end of the toothed strip 12 and facilitate the installation and removal of the toothed strip 12.
[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top of the protective shell 9 of the component is fixedly equipped with a red and green indicator light 7. The red and green indicator light 7 is existing technology and will not be described in detail. The nursing splint 1 has ventilation holes 8. The ventilation holes 8 make the reset nursing splint 1 have good air permeability and improve its user experience. The nursing splint 1 has arc-shaped openings 17 at both ends. The arc-shaped openings 17 facilitate flexible movement at the joints.
[0034] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The nursing splint 1 is fixedly connected to the positioning protective shell 2. The positioning protective shell 2 can effectively restrict its internal components and ensure the stable movement of its internal components. The positioning protective shell 2 is fixedly equipped with a sensor button 3. The sensor button 3 is existing technology and will not be described in detail. The sensor button 3 can send a signal to the red and green indicator lights 7, thereby controlling the illumination of the red and green indicator lights 7.
[0035] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The positioning protective shell 2 has a sliding force-bearing slide plate 4 inside. The force-bearing slide plate 4 is fixedly connected to the sensing column 5. The cooperation between the force-bearing slide plate 4 and the sensing column 5 can effectively contact the sensing button 3. The force-bearing slide plate 4 is fixedly connected to one end of the toughness spring 6, and the other end of the toughness spring 6 is fixedly connected to the positioning protective shell 2. The setting of the toughness spring 6 utilizes the elasticity of the toughness spring 6 to make the force-bearing slide plate 4 return to its original position, which is convenient for subsequent use.
[0036] Working principle: The inner side of the nursing splint 1 is tightly pressed against the fracture site of the leg bone. External force is used to insert the toothed strip 12 into the pre-set groove in the protective shell 9. External force is then used to rotate the outer turntable 16, causing the one-way worm gear 15 to rotate in place within the protective shell 9. This causes the planar worm wheel 14 to drive the linkage bearing 10 to rotate in place within the protective shell 9. The linkage bearing 10 drives the planar gear 11 to rotate. Through the meshing teeth, the planar gear 11 drives the toothed strip 12 to move. The movement occurs between the nursing splint 1 and the toothed strip 12. With the cooperation of the device, a quick wearing effect is achieved. During the wearing process, the reaction force causes the force-bearing slide plate 4 and the sensing column 5 to slide inside the positioning protective shell 2, so that the sensing column 5 contacts and squeezes the sensing button 3. At this time, the tough spring 6 is in a compressed state, so the red and green indicator light 7 lights up green. Conversely, when the tough spring 6 is in a stretched state, the red and green indicator light 7 lights up red, providing real-time feedback on the tightness after wearing. At the same time, the external plug 19 connects to an external power source, so that the heating strip 18 heats up, improving the comfort after wearing.
[0037] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
