Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of training equipment technology, and in particular to a head and neck posture training device. Background Technology

[0002] Many patients with neck and shoulder pain tend to exhibit abnormal postures in daily life, such as sagittal forward head tilt and coronal side head tilt, making it difficult to maintain a neutral head and cervical spine position. This often leads to muscle imbalance and abnormal tension in the head, neck, and upper back, particularly overactivation of the upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and sternocleidomastoid muscles, resulting in neck and shoulder discomfort, increased stress on the cervical spine, and accelerated cervical degeneration. Patients with neck and shoulder pain often have poor control over their head and cervical spine posture, making it difficult for them to accurately perceive whether their head and neck are in a neutral position. Even in front of a mirror, they may not easily recognize any abnormalities in their head and neck posture. If these abnormal postures are not corrected during rehabilitation exercises, the effectiveness of the treatment will be significantly reduced. Therefore, patients with neck and shoulder pain need a head and neck posture trainer to help them identify whether their head and neck posture is correct. By using a head and neck posture control trainer in conjunction with mirror observation, they can correct abnormal head and neck postures and improve their head and neck posture control. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a head and neck posture trainer.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a head and neck posture trainer, comprising a mounting base, characterized in that: a counterweight plate is inserted into the inner surface of the mounting base, a top plate is provided on the inner surface of the mounting base, a base is provided on the lower surface of the mounting base, an arc-shaped groove is formed on the lower surface of the base, a latch is formed on the surface of the mounting base, and a latching block is fixedly installed on the surface of the top plate. To fix the top plate to the surface of the mounting base, the present invention improves upon this invention by connecting the latching block and the top plate with a spring, and connecting the top plate and the mounting base with the latching block. To provide the user with feedback to keep the neck in a neutral position, the present invention improves upon this invention by fixing a spring on the lower surface of the mounting base, and connecting the mounting base and the base with a spring.

[0005] To facilitate users in adjusting the position of the top plate, this utility model is improved by providing a buckle groove on the surface of the top plate, and the number of buckles is six.

[0006] In order to limit the movement of the counterweight plate and the top plate, the present invention is improved by fixing protrusions on the surfaces of the top plate and the counterweight plate, and providing grooves on the surface of the mounting base.

[0007] To facilitate the use of this training device by beginners, the present invention is improved in that the surface of the base is symmetrically equipped with fixing blocks, the surface of the fixing blocks is inserted with fixing straps, the surface of the fixing blocks is provided with slots, and the surface of the fixing straps is fixedly equipped with inserts.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0009] 1. In this utility model, by setting up the mounting base, top plate, and counterweight plate, the difficulty level of the trainer can be freely adjusted. The trainer features a special counterweight structure, allowing users to selectively insert counterweight plates into the mounting base. The more counterweight plates, the greater the difficulty. Once the number of counterweight plates is determined, the user can insert the top plate into the mounting base. Since the locking block on the top plate surface can fit perfectly into the locking slot on the mounting base surface, the top plate can limit the counterweight plate's position. Because the locking block and the top plate are connected by a spring, the user can press the locking block. Under pressure, the spring connected to one end of the locking block will contract, causing the locking block to retract into the locking slot. At this point, the mounting base will not... The top plate is secured, allowing the user to pull it out of the mounting base using the latch. After being pulled out, the spring returns the latch to its original position, making it easy for the user to re-secure the top plate to the mounting base. This design facilitates the user's removal and installation of the top plate. In addition, a spring is designed on the lower surface of the mounting base, connecting the mounting base and the base. The spring is designed to maintain a distance between the mounting base and the base. This design allows the user to receive feedback from the spring and mounting base when their head touches the base, requiring the user to maintain a neutral head and cervical spine posture to keep the top plate balanced. This helps maintain a neutral head and neck posture, corrects abnormal head and neck postures, and improves head and neck posture control.

[0010] 2. In this utility model, by setting the structure of the fixing strap, the insert, the fixing block and the slot, the trainer is designed with a special auxiliary fixing structure to facilitate the use of the trainer by beginners. The fixing strap is installed on the surface of the base through the fixing block and the insert. The insert on the surface of the fixing strap can not only be inserted into the slot on the surface of the insert plate, but the user can also press the fixing block to make the insert detach from the slot. This design makes it more efficient to install and remove the fixing strap on the surface of the base. The user can selectively wear the fixing strap, which makes it easier for beginners to get started when using the trainer. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Example 1

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides a technical solution: a head and neck posture trainer, including a mounting base 1. A counterweight plate 5 is inserted into the inner surface of the mounting base 1, and a top plate 3 is provided on the inner surface of the mounting base 1. The user can selectively insert the counterweight plates 5 into the mounting base 1; the more counterweight plates 5, the greater the difficulty. Once the number of counterweight plates 5 is determined, the user can insert the top plate 3 into the mounting base 1. Since the locking block 6 on the surface of the top plate 3 can be precisely locked into the locking slot 7 on the surface of the mounting base 1, the top plate 3 can limit the movement of the counterweight plates 5. A base 2 is provided on the lower surface of the mounting base 1, and an arc-shaped groove 11 is formed on the lower surface of the base 2. The arc-shaped groove 11 is used to facilitate the base 2 to support the user's head. The surface of the mounting base 1 has a locking slot 7, and the surface of the top plate 3 is fixedly equipped with a locking block 6. The locking block 6 and the top plate 3 are... The top plate 3 and the mounting base 1 are connected by springs 10. The top plate 3 and the mounting base 1 are connected by latches 7 and latches 6. The lower surface of the mounting base 1 is fixedly installed with springs 10. The mounting base 1 and the base 2 are connected by springs 10. The surface of the top plate 3 has a latching groove 4. There are six sets of latches 7. When the user presses the latches 6, the springs 10 connected to one end of the latches 6 will contract under pressure. During the contraction of the springs 10, the latches 6 will also contract into the latches 7. At this time, the mounting base 1 will no longer restrain the top plate 3. The user can pull the top plate 3 out of the mounting base 1 through the latches 4. After the top plate 3 is pulled out, the springs 10 will return the latches 6 to their original positions to facilitate the user to fix the top plate 3 back to the mounting base 1. This design is to facilitate the user to disassemble and install the top plate 3.

[0023] Both the top plate 3 and the counterweight plate 5 have protrusions 8 fixedly installed on their surfaces. The surface of the mounting base 1 has grooves 9. The spring 10 is designed to maintain a distance between the mounting base 1 and the base 2. The spring 10 increases the instability of the mounting base 1. Once the head or cervical spine is tilted, the mounting base 1 will tilt and swing, and the plane of the top plate 3 will not be parallel to the horizontal plane. Users can quickly identify whether their head and neck posture is in a neutral position by looking at the top plate 3 in front of a mirror, helping them adjust their posture to maintain the neutral position of their head and cervical spine. While performing posture training or other rehabilitation training, users can use the head and neck posture control trainer to continuously adjust the posture of their head and cervical spine, thereby correcting abnormal head and neck postures and improving head and neck posture control ability.

[0024] Example 2

[0025] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 6The surface of the base 2 is symmetrically equipped with fixing blocks 12, and fixing straps 13 are inserted into the surface of the fixing blocks 12. The surface of the fixing blocks 12 has slots 14, and the surface of the fixing straps 13 is fixedly equipped with inserts 15. The inserts 15 on the surface of the fixing straps 13 can not only be inserted into the slots 14 on the surface of the insert plate, but also the user can press the fixing blocks 12 to make the inserts 15 fall out of the slots 14. This design makes it more efficient to install and remove the fixing straps 13 from the surface of the base 2.

[0026] Working Principle: This trainer features a unique counterweight structure. Users can selectively insert counterweight plates 5 into the mounting base 1. The more counterweight plates 5, the greater the difficulty. Once the number of counterweight plates 5 is determined, the user can insert the top plate 3 into the mounting base 1. Since the locking block 6 on the surface of the top plate 3 fits perfectly into the locking slot 7 on the surface of the mounting base 1, the top plate 3 can limit the movement of the counterweight plates 5. Because the locking block 6 and the top plate 3 are connected by a spring 10, the user can press the locking block 6. Under pressure, the spring 10 connected to one end of the locking block 6 will contract. During the contraction of the spring 10, the locking block 6 will also contract into the locking slot 7. At this point, the mounting base 1 will no longer restrain the top plate 3, and the user can then use the locking slot 4 to secure the top plate. The top plate 3 is pulled out from the mounting base 1. After the top plate 3 is pulled out, the spring 10 will return the locking block 6 to its original position, so that the user can fix the top plate 3 back to the mounting base 1. This design is to facilitate the user to disassemble and install the top plate 3. In addition, the lower surface of the mounting base 1 is also designed with a spring 10. The mounting base 1 and the base 2 are connected by the spring 10. The design of the spring 10 is to keep a distance between the mounting base 1 and the base 2. This design allows the user to receive feedback from the spring 10 and the mounting base 1 when the user's head is pressed against the base 2. The user then needs to maintain a neutral head and cervical spine posture to keep the top plate 3 parallel to the horizontal plane, thereby maintaining a neutral head and neck posture, correcting abnormal head and neck posture, and exercising the ability to control head and neck posture.

[0027] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from the technical solution of this utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
