Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of scoliosis detection, specifically relating to a novel handheld simple scoliosis detection device. Background Technology
[0002] Scoliosis is a common spinal deformity, and early detection is crucial for treatment and preventing the condition from worsening. Currently, the commonly used clinical methods for scoliosis detection include imaging examinations such as X-ray, CT scan, MRI, and laser surface scanning analysis. Although these methods have high detection accuracy, the equipment is expensive, the operation is complex, and it requires professional personnel to operate. They also carry certain radiation risks and are not suitable for large-scale, high-frequency early screening or rapid detection in outdoor settings.
[0003] In addition, there are some traditional detection methods based on posture analysis, such as the bending test, the Adams forward flexion test, or methods that use visual observation or mechanical and electronic devices such as scoliosis detection rulers. However, these methods mainly rely on subjective judgment and experience, and their accuracy is relatively low. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that is portable, easy to operate, inexpensive, easy to implement and promote, and can quickly and accurately detect scoliosis. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects in the prior art, this utility model proposes a novel handheld simple scoliosis detection device.
[0005] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A novel handheld, simple scoliosis detection device includes a base frame, a rotating frame, and sensors;
[0007] The base frame and the rotating frame are connected by a rotating shaft to form a rotary kinematic pair;
[0008] The sensor is an angle sensor and is mounted on the rotating frame.
[0009] Furthermore, guide wheel shafts are respectively provided on both sides of the rotating frame, and guide wheels are provided on the guide wheel shafts.
[0010] Furthermore, rollers are provided on both sides of the base frame, and the rollers are connected to the base frame by pins.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the rollers is equipped with an encoder.
[0012] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the base frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the roller is made of polyurethane rubber material.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] (1) The present invention uses a high-precision angle sensor, in conjunction with rollers and guide wheels, to achieve rapid detection of the user's scoliosis.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the novel handheld simple scoliosis detection device of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0020] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, various embodiments of this utility model can be conceived by those skilled in the art without altering its essential spirit. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative examples of the technical solution of this invention and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as a limitation or restriction on its technical solution. Rather, these embodiments are provided to enable those skilled in the art to gain a more thorough understanding of this utility model. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which constitute a part of this application and, together with the embodiments of this utility model, serve to illustrate the innovative concept of this invention.
[0021] Example
[0022] Combination Figure 1 A novel handheld simple scoliosis detection device includes a base frame 1, a rotating frame 2, and a sensor 3;
[0023] The base frame 1 and the rotating frame 2 are connected by a rotating shaft to form a rotary kinematic pair. This connection allows the rotating frame 2 to rotate flexibly relative to the base frame 1, thus adapting to different curvatures of the spine. The rotating shaft uses a high-precision bearing structure to ensure smooth and stable rotation and reduce the impact of friction on the test results.
[0024] The sensor 3 is an angle sensor, which is installed on the rotating frame 2 and can accurately measure the angle change of the rotating frame 2 relative to the base frame 1. Its measurement accuracy can reach ±0.1°. In actual operation, the sensor 3 can be connected to an external microprocessor, and the microprocessor can process and analyze the data collected by the sensor in real time.
[0025] The rotating frame 2 has guide wheel shafts on both sides, and guide wheels 4 are mounted on the guide wheel shafts. The surface of the guide wheels 4 is made of soft silicone material, which has a certain degree of elasticity, ensuring good contact with human skin while reducing pressure on the skin. The diameter of the guide wheels 4 is designed to be 3 to 6 cm, and the width is designed to be 4 to 6 cm. By optimizing the size and material of the guide wheels 4, it is ensured that they can roll stably along both sides of the spine during the testing process, providing accurate guidance for the rotation of the rotating frame 2.
[0026] In addition, rollers 5 are respectively provided on both sides of the base frame 1, and the rollers 5 are connected by pins. In this embodiment, the diameter of the rollers 5 is 4 to 7 cm and the width is about 3 cm. They are made of wear-resistant materials with a certain friction, such as polyurethane rubber, so as to slide smoothly on the spine.
[0027] Each roller 5 is equipped with an encoder on its shaft, which can accurately measure the rolling distance and speed of the roller 5, providing position and speed information for the detection process.
[0028] For ease of use, a handle 6 is provided on the base frame 1. The handle 6 can be connected to the base frame 1 by screws or other means. The handle 6 adopts an ergonomic design with a non-slip texture on the surface, making it easy for users to hold. It is 15cm long, 3cm wide, and 3.5cm high. Its shape and size are designed to conform to the natural grip posture of the human hand, which can effectively reduce the fatigue of users holding it for a long time.
[0029] When using this device, first have the user lie flat on their back or bend forward, then hold the handle 6 and slowly slide the two rollers 5 along the spine from top to bottom;
[0030] During this period, when roller 5 encounters the scoliosis area, the relative angle between the base frame 1 and the rotating frame 2 will change due to the curvature of the spine, and sensor 3 will record these angle changes in real time.
[0031] During use, the guide wheel 4 provides accurate guidance for the rotation of the rotating frame 2. The rotational kinematic pair structure between the base frame 1 and the rotating frame 2 enables the equipment to accurately adapt to changes in spinal curvature. The reasonable design of the guide wheel 4 and roller 5 ensures the stability and accuracy of the testing process.
[0032] Taking the supine test as an example, place the device under the patient's spine, ensuring that roller 5 is in close contact with the spine. After turning on the device, hold the handle 6 and slowly slide the device down the spine, ensuring that roller 5 and guide wheel 4 always roll along the spine. Sensor 3 and encoder collect data in real time. The user can determine the degree of scoliosis based on the angle change of the angle sensor, thus achieving quick and easy scoliosis detection in outdoor scenarios. The entire detection process is simple to operate, requiring no professional training, and the device is portable, making it suitable for large-scale screening in schools, communities, and other locations, as well as for use when outdoors.
[0033] The above embodiments illustrate and describe the basic principles and main features 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 the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
