Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of auxiliary medical equipment technology, and specifically relates to a neck and back auxiliary treatment bracket. Background Technology

[0002] When treating cervical spondylosis, acupuncture primarily targets specific acupoints and meridians to regulate Yin and Yang, tonify deficiencies and eliminate excesses, strengthen the body's resistance and eliminate pathogenic factors, clear stagnation of Qi and blood, and thus achieve therapeutic effects. Furthermore, acupuncture can improve local blood circulation, relieve adhesions and muscle spasms, and increase blood flow to the cervical arteries, thereby alleviating pain and improving cervical symptoms.

[0003] There are two main types of acupuncture points used in the treatment of cervical spondylosis: local points and distal points. Local points can be further divided into several types. The first involves needling the muscles related to the cervical spine, such as the Jiaji points on the cervical spine and the Bladder Meridian on both sides. It is also necessary to treat the origin and insertion points of the cervical muscles. For example, the erector spinae muscle originates on the suboccipital line, and points such as Fengchi (GB20) and Tianzhu (BL10) are frequently selected. In addition, for cervical spondylosis, the posterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae should also be needled. Sometimes, it is also necessary to needle the sternocleidomastoid muscle and the rhomboid muscles.

[0004] When performing acupuncture treatment on patients with neck and shoulder pain, the patient is often placed in a prone or prone-sitting position, with the neck in a hyperextended position to fully expose the acupoints. For elderly, weak, obese patients, and those in the acute phase of neck and back pain, maintaining the same posture for 30 minutes often leads to poor breathing, shortness of breath, fatigue, and chest pain due to pressure on the sternum; in severe cases, fainting may even occur. Based on these reasons, we propose a neck and back support frame for auxiliary treatment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a neck and back support bracket, which aims to solve the problem in the prior art mentioned above, where patients are in a prone or prone sitting position with their necks in an extended position, resulting in a lack of support for their bodies and prolonged periods of being in the same posture, leading to physical discomfort.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A neck and back support bracket includes a base plate, a main support plate, and a support plate that form a triangular support structure. The main support plate and the support plate are respectively hinged to opposite sides of the base plate. The main support plate has a groove and a secondary support plate. The groove is located on the opposite side of the main support plate that is hinged to the base plate, and the secondary support plate is located on one side of the groove. The secondary support plate is used to support the patient's head.

[0008] Furthermore, a first adjustment mechanism is provided between the main support plate and the auxiliary support plate. The first adjustment mechanism includes a connecting plate disposed on the main support plate, and a first stepper motor and a rack disposed on the connecting plate. The connecting plate is located on both sides of the auxiliary support plate and is hinged to the auxiliary support plate. The rotating shaft of the auxiliary support plate passes through the connecting plate and has a gear at its end. The rack is slidably connected to the connecting plate, and the gear meshes with the rack. The output end of the first stepper motor is driven by a first screw. The rack has a threaded hole, and the first screw is threadedly driven by the threaded hole.

[0009] Furthermore, baffles are evenly spaced on one side of the main support plate, and the support plate abuts against the baffles to support the main support plate to tilt.

[0010] Furthermore, a second adjustment mechanism is provided between the main support plate and the support plate. The second adjustment mechanism includes a second stepper motor, a second screw, a first support ring, and a second support ring disposed on the support plate. The main support plate has a receiving cavity, and the second screw passes through the receiving cavity. The opening of the receiving cavity faces the bottom plate. The second stepper motor is drivenly connected to the second screw. The second screw is fitted with a threaded sleeve that is threadedly connected to it. A connecting rod is provided between the threaded sleeve and the first support ring. The first support ring and the second support ring are detachably connected.

[0011] Furthermore, the main support plate has recessed portions on both sides of the groove, which are used for the patient to hang their arms.

[0012] Furthermore, the main support plate and the auxiliary support plate are provided with a padding layer, which is made of a flexible material.

[0013] Furthermore, the main support plate is provided with ventilation holes.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the base plate is provided with anti-slip strips.

[0015] Compared with the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0016] 1. This utility model provides a neck and back auxiliary treatment bracket. The base plate, main support plate and auxiliary support plate are arranged to form a triangular support structure. The main support plate is used to support the front chest side of the patient. The main support plate is provided with a groove and an auxiliary support plate. The auxiliary support plate is used to support the patient's head, so that the patient can fully expose the acupoints of the neck when in a prone or prone sitting position. This utility model provides auxiliary support for the patient to relieve the discomfort caused by the patient being in the same position for a long time.

[0017] 2. A first adjustment mechanism is set between the main support plate and the auxiliary support plate. The first step motor drives the first screw to rotate, thereby pushing the rack to slide. Utilizing the meshing structure of the rack and gear, the auxiliary support plate is driven to rotate to meet the needs of different patients. Patients can freely adjust the auxiliary support plate, which helps to improve the comfort of patients during treatment.

[0018] 3. A second adjustment mechanism is provided between the main support plate and the support plate. A second stepper motor drives a second screw to rotate, which moves the first support ring through a threaded sleeve and a connecting rod. The first support ring moves the support plate through the second support ring, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the main support plate. Compared with the baffle structure, the second adjustment mechanism has a wider adjustment range, allowing patients to choose more tilt angles for the main support plate, which is beneficial for patients to adjust to a more comfortable support angle. Compared with the baffle structure, the first support ring and the second support ring are detachably connected, resulting in better connection stability. Attached Figure Description
