Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthopedic corrective devices, and in particular to an easily adjustable orthopedic corrective device. Background Technology

[0002] An orthosis consists of a splint, a stabilizing plate, a connecting strap, and a bandage. It is a device used to correct the limbs of orthopedic patients and is quite common in daily life.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the invention with publication number CN115363844A, disclose an orthopedic reduction and fixation orthopedic orthosis. This patent uses a strip component with a sliding groove on its side wall. A connecting component is slidably installed within the sliding groove, and an extension component is installed on the right side of the strip component. This directly sets the strip component into a strip-shaped structure, making it convenient to use on patients with different trapezoidal limb shapes. The strip components connected by the connecting component have a certain spacing, increasing the orthosis's heat dissipation. Each set of strip components has a contact component and an inner sliding component installed inside. The connecting component can control the contact component and the inner sliding component to slide at the point of contact between the strip component and the skin, reducing patient discomfort. This solves the problems of poor heat dissipation during wear, difficulty in handling discomfort during wear, and the single structure of the orthosis making it difficult to use on patients of different body types.

[0004] The inventors discovered in daily use that in some urgent situations requiring rapid correction, orthodontics that cannot tighten quickly may not meet the needs of customers, especially when it is necessary to quickly resolve posture or treat problems. The effect is not as expected, and orthodontics that cannot tighten quickly usually require a long period of wearing and adjustment, which may restrict the customer's range of motion and freedom, especially for users with high activity levels.

[0005] This application provides another technical solution to this technical problem, aiming to provide those skilled in the art with multiple options for solving the problem. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an easily adjustable orthopedic corrector.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an easily adjustable orthopedic corrector, comprising two clamps, a tightening structure, and an adjusting structure. A stabilizing plate is provided at one end of each clamp. The clamps and the stabilizing plate are connected via the adjusting structure. A plurality of straps and a plurality of connecting straps are fixedly connected to the upper and lower surfaces of both clamps and the two stabilizing plates, respectively.

After winding to the appropriate position, the knob is released, the spring retracts, and the insertion rod is inserted into the insertion hole for fixation.

[0009] Preferably, protective pads, which are silicone pads, are fixedly connected to the sides of the two clamping plates and the two stabilizing plates that are close to each other.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that the protective pad can protect the patient's skin and prevent the splint and stabilizer from rubbing against the patient and causing skin damage.

[0011] Preferably, a soft pad is fixedly connected to the side of the outer shell near the clamping plate and the stabilizing plate, and the cross-section of the soft pad is arc-shaped.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that the soft padding can increase the patient's comfort and prevent the outer shell from squeezing the patient when wearing it.

[0013] Preferably, the knob has a plurality of slots on its arc surface, and the plurality of slots are evenly distributed on the knob.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that the groove can increase the friction between the hand and the knob, preventing slippage when the knob is turned.

[0015] Preferably, an adjustment structure is provided between the stabilizing plate and the clamping plate. The adjustment structure includes an auxiliary disk, which is slidably connected to the stabilizing plate. A screw is fixedly connected to the side of the stabilizing plate near the clamping plate.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: when the angle between the clamping plate and the stabilizing plate needs to be adjusted, the adjusting plate is rotated to move, the adjusting plate and the clamping plate are loosened, then the clamping plate and the stabilizing plate are loosened, and then the angle between the clamping plate and the stabilizing plate is adjusted. After moving to the appropriate angle, the adjusting plate is rotated in the opposite direction, the adjusting plate drives the screw to move, the screw drives the auxiliary plate and the locking block to slide inside the stabilizing plate, and after moving to the appropriate position, the adjusting plate and the auxiliary plate press and fix the clamping plate and the stabilizing plate.

[0017] Preferably, an anti-slip pad, which is a rubber pad, is fixedly connected to the side of the adjusting plate near the clamping plate.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that the anti-slip pad can increase the friction between the adjusting plate and the clamping plate, and prevent the adjusting plate from sliding when it is squeezed and fixed.

[0019] Preferably, the arc surface of the adjustment plate is provided with a plurality of auxiliary grooves, and the plurality of auxiliary grooves are evenly distributed on the adjustment plate.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is that the auxiliary groove can increase the friction between the adjustment plate and the hand, preventing slippage when the adjustment plate is rotated.

[0021] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] In this invention, by operating the tightening structure, existing orthotics that cannot be tightened quickly in situations requiring urgent and rapid correction may not meet the needs of customers, especially when it is necessary to quickly resolve posture or treatment problems, resulting in less than expected effects. Moreover, orthotics that cannot be tightened quickly usually require a longer period of wearing and adjustment, which may restrict the customer's range of motion and freedom, especially for users with high activity levels. This device can easily and quickly tighten orthopedic orthotics, greatly improving the efficiency of orthotics use, and can be tightened according to the different limb shapes of different patients.

[0023] In this invention, by adjusting the auxiliary adjustment, the orthopedic orthotic device can be easily adjusted to different angles, thus avoiding the inability to adjust the angle of the orthotic device when the patient's limb is being corrected. Attached Figure Description

The straps 4 and the connecting straps 3 are connected by the tightening structure 5. The surfaces of the straps 4 and the connecting straps 3 are provided with the tightening structure 5. An adjusting structure 6 is provided between the stabilizing plate 2 and the clamp 1.

[0032] The following section will explain the specific settings and functions of its tightening structure 5 and adjusting structure 6.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment: the tightening structure 5 includes a housing 501, which is slidably connected to the strap 4 and the connecting strap 3. A rotating shaft 506 is rotatably connected inside the housing 501, and a connecting shaft 511 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 501. A rotating ring 510 is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the connecting shaft 511, and the rotating ring 510 is rotatably connected to the housing 501. Turntables 507 are fixedly connected to the ends of the connecting shaft 511 and the rotating shaft 506 that are close to each other. Two connecting rods 514 are fixedly connected to the sides of the two turntables 507 that are close to each other. Rod 514 is fixedly connected to connecting belt 3 and strap 4 respectively. A knob 503 is slidably connected to the end of connecting shaft 511 away from rotating shaft 506. A circular plate 513 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of knob 503. A spring 512 is sleeved on the arc surface of connecting shaft 511. The two ends of spring 512 are fixedly connected to circular plate 513 and outer shell 501 respectively. Several insert rods 508 are fixedly connected to the side of knob 503 near outer shell 501. Several insertion holes 509 are opened on the side of outer shell 501 near knob 503. Insert rods 508 are matched with insertion holes 509. When it is necessary to adjust the straps 4 and 3 to fix and correct the patient's limbs, the patient's limbs are passed through the splint 1 and the stabilizing plate 2. Then, the knob 503 is pulled to move it. The knob 503 slides on the arc surface of the connecting shaft 511. The knob 503 drives the spring 512 to stretch. The knob 503 drives the insertion rod 508 to separate from the insertion hole 509. Then, the knob 503 is rotated to move it. The knob 503 drives the connecting shaft 511 and the rotating ring 510 to move within the outer casing 50. The inner wall of the clamp 1 rotates, the connecting shaft 511 drives the turntable 507 to rotate, the turntable 507 drives the connecting rod 514 to move, and the two connecting rods 514 respectively wind up the connecting belt 3 or the strap 4. After winding to the appropriate position, the knob 503 is released and the spring 512 retracts, driving the insertion rod 508 to be inserted into the insertion hole 509 for fixation. Protective pads 502 are fixedly connected to the side of the two clamps 1 and the two stabilizing plates 2 that are close to each other. The protective pads 502 are silicone pads.

A soft pad 505 is fixedly connected to the side of the outer shell 501 that is close to the clamps 1 and the stabilizing plates 2. The cross-section of the soft pad 505 is arc-shaped. The soft pad 505 increases patient comfort and prevents the outer shell 501 from squeezing the patient during wear. The knob 503 has several slots 504 evenly distributed on its arc surface. The slots 504 increase the friction between the hand and the knob 503, preventing slippage when the knob 503 is turned.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown in this embodiment: the adjusting structure 6 includes an auxiliary disk 62, which is slidably connected to the stabilizing plate 2. A screw 64 is fixedly connected to the side of the stabilizing plate 2 near the clamping plate 1. The screw 64 has an arc-shaped threaded connection to an adjusting plate 61, which is located inside the clamping plate 1. When the angle between the clamping plate 1 and the stabilizing plate 2 needs to be adjusted, the adjusting plate 61 is rotated to move it, loosening the clamping plate 1 and the stabilizing plate 2. Then, the angle between the clamping plate 1 and the stabilizing plate 2 is adjusted. After moving to the appropriate angle, the adjusting plate 61 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the screw 64 to move. The screw 64 causes the auxiliary disk 62 and the locking block 65 to slide inside the stabilizing plate 2. After moving to the appropriate position, the adjusting plate 61 and the auxiliary disk 62 press and fix the clamping plate 1 and the stabilizing plate 2. An anti-slip pad 66, which is a rubber pad, is fixedly connected to the side of the adjusting plate 61 near the clamping plate 1. The anti-slip pad 66 increases the friction between the adjusting plate 61 and the clamping plate 1, preventing slippage when the adjusting plate 61 is pressed and fixed to the clamping plate 1. Several auxiliary grooves 63 are evenly distributed on the arc surface of the adjusting plate 61. These auxiliary grooves 63 increase the friction between the adjusting plate 61 and the hand, preventing slippage when the adjusting plate 61 is rotated.

[0035] Detailed Instructions for Use: When adjusting the straps 4 and 3 to fix and correct the patient's limbs, pass the patient's limbs through the splint 1 and stabilizing plate 2, then pull the knob 503 to move it. The knob 503 slides on the arc surface of the connecting shaft 511, causing the spring 512 to stretch. The knob 503 causes the insertion rod 508 to separate from the insertion hole 509. Then rotate the knob 503 to move it, causing the connecting shaft 511 and the rotating ring 510 to rotate on the inner wall of the outer casing 501. The connecting shaft 511 drives the turntable 507 to rotate, and the turntable 507 drives the connecting rod 514 to move. The two connecting rods 514 respectively wind up the connecting strap 3 or the strap 4. After winding to the appropriate position, the knob 503 is released and the spring 512 retracts, causing the insertion rod 508 to be inserted into the insertion hole 509 for fixation. The protective pad 502 can protect the patient's skin and prevent the splint 1 and the stabilizing plate 2 from rubbing against the patient and causing skin damage. The soft pad 505 can increase the patient's comfort and prevent the outer shell 501 from squeezing the patient when wearing it.
