[0035] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a neck anatomical positioning collar in this embodiment includes:
[0036] The device includes a neck brace body 1 and a fixing component 2 disposed on the neck brace body 1; the neck brace body 1 has corresponding openings 11 for placing a stimulator; the fixing components 2 are respectively disposed at each opening 11.
[0037] The neck anatomical positioning neck brace mainly consists of a neck brace body 1, which is made of a soft and elastic material, such as memory foam or medical-grade silicone, to ensure comfort and a good fit when worn. To achieve precise positioning of stimulation points and convenient use of the stimulator, multiple openings 11 are made on the neck brace body 1 corresponding to key anatomical locations on the neck (such as acupoints, muscle attachment points, etc.). The positions of the openings 11 have been rigorously selected and verified by medical experts to ensure they match the anatomical structure of the neck. A fixing component 2 is provided at each opening 11 for securely mounting and fixing the stimulator.
[0038] To further enhance neck comfort and rehabilitation, a massage component 3 is provided, which is located inside the neck brace body 1. The position and intensity of the massage component 3 can be adjusted according to the patient's specific needs and the doctor's advice to achieve the best massage effect.
[0039] It should be noted that since the opening 11 needs to meet the requirements of the stimulator being placed, the shape of the opening 11 is similar to an ellipse, which can be consistent with the shape of the probe to be placed.
[0040] This embodiment aims to provide a neck brace that integrates neck support, stimulation point positioning, and massage functions to meet the diverse needs of patients in rehabilitation treatment and daily care.
[0041] Example 2
[0042] Based on Example 1, to further optimize the design of the fixation component 2 of the neck anatomical positioning collar and improve the stability and ease of use of the stimulator, the fixation component 2 is designed in further detail; please refer to... Figure 1 The fixing component 2 includes a first fixing member 21 and a second fixing member 22; wherein:
[0043] Both the first fixing component 21 and the second fixing component 22 are semi-circular, with one end hinged to the edge of the opening 11 on one side of the neck sleeve body 1, and the other end movably connected to the outer wall on the other side of the opening 11. The fixing component 2 opens when needed to insert the stimulator, and after fixing, it fits tightly against the neck sleeve body 1 to ensure the stability of the stimulator.
[0044] In this embodiment, the semi-circular design of the fixing component 1 21 and the fixing component 22 is designed to better fit the shape of the stimulator and securely fix it to the neck sleeve body 1. Through the combination of the semi-circular design and the multi-layer structure, the fixing component 2 can more securely fix the stimulator and prevent it from falling off or shifting during wear.
[0045] Furthermore, to improve wearing comfort and stability, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 4 The first fastener 21 and the second fastener 22 adopt a multi-layer structure design from the outside to the inside; the first fastener 21 and the second fastener 22 respectively include an outer shell 23, a memory foam 24 and a silicone sticker 25 from the outside to the inside; the end of the outer shell 23 is provided with a buckle, which is fastened to the corresponding buckle seat on the neck sleeve body 1.
[0046] Specifically: the outer layer is the outer shell 23, made of a rigid yet somewhat elastic material to protect the internal structure and provide support. The ends of the outer shell 23 are equipped with snaps that can precisely engage with corresponding slots on the neck sleeve body 1, achieving quick and secure fastening.
[0047] The middle layer is made of 24 layers of memory foam. Memory foam has excellent slow rebound properties and uniform pressure distribution. It can adapt to the shape and pressure of the wearer's neck, providing a more personalized comfort experience.
[0048] The inner layer is a silicone pad 25, which is soft, skin-friendly and non-slip, and can fit tightly to the surface of the stimulator to prevent it from sliding or shifting during wear.
[0049] Example 3
[0050] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 3 To further enhance the support effect of the neck anatomical positioning neck brace on the stimulator and improve the comfort and stability of the patient, this embodiment introduces the design of an inflatable support member 4. Specifically, this embodiment also includes a support member 4, which is respectively located below each opening 11; the support member 4 is a rectangular strip with an arc shape; the support member 4 is an inflatable design.
[0051] The support member 4 extends along the direction of the stimulator and supports the stimulator.
[0052] Furthermore, the support member 4 is in the shape of an air bladder, which is stored in the receiving groove at the lower end of the opening 11 when it is not inflated; when inflated, it unfolds to support the stimulator.
[0053] The support component 4 is specifically an airbag-like structure. In its uninflated state, it can be compactly stored in the receiving groove at the lower end of the opening 11 without taking up extra space or affecting the appearance of the neck sleeve body 1. When needed, the support component 4 is inflated by an external inflation device (such as an air pump or a manual inflation valve), causing it to quickly unfold and fit under the neck, providing stable support for the stimulator.
[0054] The support member 4 has an auxiliary strap 41 at its end, which, when unfolded, attaches to the outer wall of the neck collar body 1 at both ends. To ensure the support member 4 remains stably in the designated position after inflation, the auxiliary strap 41 is provided at its end. The auxiliary strap 41 is in a slack state when the support member 4 is not inflated; once the support member 4 is inflated and unfolded, the auxiliary strap 41 will tighten accordingly. The two ends of the auxiliary strap 41 are designed with adhesive surfaces or Velcro fasteners for easy attachment to the outer wall of the neck collar body 1, thereby enhancing the stability of the support member 4.
[0055] Furthermore, the massage component 3 includes a red light heater 31 and a vibration massager 32, which are electrically connected to a rechargeable battery 33 built into the neck sleeve body 1 via wires.
[0056] In a preferred embodiment, the red light heater 31 uses red light of a specific wavelength for heat therapy and phototherapy. According to medical research, red light with wavelengths between 620nm and 630nm can penetrate deep into skin tissue, effectively promoting blood circulation, relieving muscle tension, and accelerating tissue repair. Therefore, the red light heater 31 in this embodiment is configured to operate within this wavelength range to ensure optimal rehabilitation results.
[0057] The vibration massager 32 consists of several miniature vibration motors, which are evenly distributed on one side of the inner wall of the neck brace body 1, generating subtle yet powerful vibrations. When the motors are working, they provide deep massage and relaxation to the neck muscles, improving not only the uniformity and comfort of the massage but also making the overall rehabilitation effect of the neck brace more significant.
[0058] To facilitate patient use, the massage component 3 is also equipped with an intelligent control system. This system allows patients to easily adjust the temperature of the red light heater 31 and the intensity of the vibration massager 32 via a remote control or touch buttons on the neck brace body 1 to meet different rehabilitation needs and comfort preferences.
[0059] Furthermore, the neck brace body 1 includes a front neck support 12, a rear neck support 13, and a connecting portion 14; wherein:
[0060] The front part 12 and the rear part 13 of the neck brace are both composed of a support frame, a buffer layer and an outer cover layer. The buffer layer covers the outside of the support frame and the outer cover layer covers the outside of the buffer layer.
[0061] The neck brace body 1 is designed with full consideration of the characteristics of the human neck curve, and can naturally fit the neck contour of different patients, providing stable and uniform support.
[0062] The connecting part 14 is strip-shaped, with one end fixedly connected to the side wall of the front part 12 of the neck brace, and the other end fixedly connected to the corresponding male hook and loop fastener on the rear part 13 of the neck brace via a hook and loop fastener. There are two connecting parts 14, which are respectively located at the connection points on the left and right sides of the neck brace body 1.
[0063] The connecting part 14 is the part of the neck brace body 1 used to connect the front part 12 and the rear part 13 of the neck support; it adopts a strap design, and the material is soft and has a certain degree of elasticity to ensure comfort and adaptability when wearing. Both ends of the connecting part 14 are equipped with fasteners or Velcro, which can be adjusted and fixed according to the size of the patient's head to ensure that the neck brace body 1 is securely worn around the neck.
[0064] The support frame is the skeletal structure of the front 12 of the neck brace, made of lightweight yet strong materials such as carbon fiber or aluminum alloy. Designed according to the curves of the human neck, it provides stable support while maintaining sufficient flexibility to adapt to the neck contours of different patients.
[0065] A cushioning layer, made of soft and elastic materials such as memory foam or high-density foam, covers the outside of the support frame. The main function of the cushioning layer is to distribute pressure on the neck, reduce direct pressure from the support frame on the skin, and improve wearing comfort.
[0066] The present invention has been further described in conjunction with the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
