Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of nursing equipment, and in particular to a traction brace. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, orthopedic leg traction braces are typically made of metal or plastic, fixed to the hospital bed, and connected to the patient's legs via slings or braces to help maintain the leg's position and provide stable support for the affected or extended areas to promote rehabilitation.

[0003] In existing technologies, traction braces are usually only used for patients in the early stages of fractures. The traction brace is fixed to the hospital bed, and the traction head is used to elevate the injured limb to reduce swelling. However, for patients in the middle and late stages of fractures, the muscles in the lower limbs will atrophy due to prolonged bed rest, which will affect the patient's recovery.

[0004] Therefore, the inventors believed that the original traction brace had a relatively limited function. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a traction brace that has a massaging effect on leg muscles.

[0006] This application provides a traction support, comprising: two outriggers, respectively located on both sides of the bed and vertically arranged; a support frame, disposed between the two outriggers, with both ends fixedly connected to the outriggers; an auxiliary crossbar, one end of which is slidably connected to the outrigger along the length of the outrigger, with a traction component disposed below it and multiple massage components disposed above it; the massage component includes a drive motor fixed inside the auxiliary crossbar; and a massage head located above the auxiliary crossbar and coaxially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor.

[0007] With the aforementioned technical features, the traction brace not only provides traction to the legs but also massages the leg muscles through the height adjustment of the auxiliary crossbar, thus exercising the leg muscles and replacing manual care.

[0008] In some embodiments, the traction assembly includes a first connecting rope, one end of which is connected to an auxiliary crossbar; and a first traction strap, which is fixed to the other end of the first connecting rope and is used to fit over the leg area. Thus, when the leg is inserted into the first traction strap, the length of the first connecting rope is adjusted to allow the leg to be supported in a suitable position, thereby providing support and positioning for the injured limb.

[0009] In some embodiments, a slide rail is provided on the lower surface of the auxiliary crossbar along the length of the auxiliary crossbar, and a slider is slidably connected inside the slide rail. One end of the connecting rope is fixed to the slider. This avoids the need for adjustment of the traction support, allowing the injured limb to be moved to a comfortable support position directly through the mutual sliding of the slider and the slide rail, thus improving the ease of relocation.

[0010] In some embodiments, the auxiliary crossbar includes a sleeve fitted onto the support leg and slidably connected along the length of the support leg; a support shaft, one end of which is fixed to the outer wall of the sleeve; a crossbar, one end of which is fitted onto the support shaft and rotatably connected to the sleeve via the support shaft; a massage component fixed inside the upper wall of the crossbar; and a slide rail fixed to the lower wall of the crossbar. Thus, the auxiliary support has a simple structure, is easy for personnel to adjust, and also reduces the manufacturing cost of the traction support.

[0011] In some embodiments, an arc-shaped groove is formed on the upper surface of the crossbar, and multiple massage components are spaced apart within the groove. This groove better adapts to the shape of the leg, increasing the contact area with the leg and expanding the radiation area of ​​the massage components. Furthermore, the rotation of the crossbar allows for massage of both the upper and lower parts of the leg.

[0012] In some embodiments, some massage components are spaced apart on the side wall region of the crossbar. This allows for targeted massage of the leg area via the sliding of the sleeve and the support leg, and by the rotation of the crossbar, through the massage components on the side wall of the crossbar.

[0013] In some embodiments, the outer wall of the outrigger is provided with a plurality of limiting holes spaced apart along its length, and the outer wall of the sleeve is fixed with quick-release pins that engage with the limiting holes. Thus, by interlocking the quick-release pins with the limiting holes, the height of the sleeve on the outrigger can be adjusted and positioned, ensuring the stability of the leg support and the convenience of adjustment.

[0014] In some embodiments, at least one extension rod is rotatably connected to the side wall of the support frame, extending away from the head of the bed. The extension rod is equipped with an auxiliary support assembly for supporting the legs. The auxiliary support assembly includes a second connecting rope, one end of which is fixedly connected to the extension rod; and a second traction strap, which is fixed to the other end of the second connecting rope. Thus, during leg massage, to ensure the leg is supported and secured, the extension rod can be rotatably supported, and the second traction strap can be used to attach to the leg, ensuring the stability of the leg massage process.

[0015] In some embodiments, a limiting bolt is threaded onto the slider to abut against the bottom wall of the slide rail. By tightening the limiting bolt, the friction between the slide rail and the slider is increased, limiting the slider's displacement within the slide rail and ensuring the stability of the leg support.

[0016] In some embodiments, a connecting hook for winding the first connecting rope is fixed to the bottom of the slider. Thus, by binding the first connecting rope to the connecting hook, the length of the first connecting rope can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the support height of the leg. Furthermore, the connecting hook structure is simple, effective, and reduces the overall cost of the traction bracket. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Through these descriptions, the features and advantages of the present application will become clearer and more apparent.

[0025] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments. Although various aspects of embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0026] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0027] This application discloses a traction bracket. (Refer to...) Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of a traction bracket according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. (Refer to...) Figure 1 As shown, the traction support provided in this embodiment includes two vertically arranged support legs 1 and a support frame 2 located between the two support legs 1. Each support leg 1 includes a support column 11 and an extension leg 12 fixed to the lower end of the support column 11. The support column 11 is fixed to the middle of the extension leg 12, thereby ensuring the stability of the support column 11. The support frame 2 is columnar and horizontally arranged, with both ends fixed to the upper ends of the support legs 1. Each end of the extension leg 12 is fixed with a caster wheel 13, thereby allowing the traction support to move freely on the ground.

[0028] In some embodiments, the support frame 2 may be a telescopic column, and the length of the support frame 2 may be adjusted according to the width of the hospital bed, so that the traction bracket can be straddling both sides of the hospital bed.

[0029] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the auxiliary crossbar 3 in a traction support according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. (Refer to...) Figure 2 As shown, each support column 11 is provided with an auxiliary crossbar 3. The auxiliary crossbar 3 includes a sleeve 31 and a crossbar 32 connected to one side of the sleeve 31. The sleeve 31 is sleeved on the outside of the support column 11, and its inner wall cooperates with the outer wall of the support column 11, so as to satisfy the requirement that the sleeve 31 slides and connects with the support column 11 along the length direction of the support column 11.

[0030] A support shaft 33 is horizontally arranged on the outer wall of the sleeve 31. One end of the support shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 31. The end of the crossbar 32 is sleeved on the support shaft 33 and rotatably connected to the sleeve 31 with the support shaft 33 as the axis. A quick-release pin 34 is also inserted into the outer wall of the sleeve 31. Multiple limiting holes 111 are spaced apart along the length of the support column 11 on the outer wall of the support column 11. The quick-release pin 34 is inserted into the limiting holes 111, thereby restricting the sliding of the sleeve 31 on the support column 11.

[0031] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the bottom structure of the auxiliary crossbeam 3 in a traction support according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. (Reference) Figure 3As shown, a leg-supporting traction assembly 4 is provided at the bottom of the crossbar 32. The traction assembly 4 includes a sliding assembly 41 fixed to the bottom of the crossbar 32, and a first connecting rope 42 and a first traction belt 43 sequentially connected to the sliding assembly 41. The sliding assembly 41 includes a slide rail 411 and a slider 412. The slide rail 411 is fixed to the bottom of the crossbar 32 along its length. The slider 412 is located inside the slide rail 411 and slides along the length of the slide rail 411. One end of the first connecting rope 42 is fixedly connected to the slider 412, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first traction belt 43. The patient can place the injured limb inside the first traction belt 43 and fix the injured limb in a supported position through the connection of the first connecting rope 42. Furthermore, the sliding connection between the slider 412 and the slide rail 411 also helps the patient to fine-tune the position of the leg, avoiding the inconvenience of displacement of the support column 11.

[0032] In order to keep the position of the injured limb stable, a limiting bolt 44 is also threaded to the bottom of the slider 412. By screwing the limiting bolt 44, its end abuts against the bottom wall of the slide rail 411, thereby increasing the friction between the slider 412 and the slide rail 411, thereby restricting the slider 412 from sliding in the slide rail 411 and ensuring the stability of the support position of the injured limb.

[0033] Furthermore, to facilitate adjustment of the height of the injured limb, the sleeve 31 can be slid on the support, or a connecting hook 45 can be fixed at the bottom of the slider 412. The length of the first connecting rope 42 can be adjusted by winding the first connecting rope 42 around the connecting hook 45, which also allows for fine-tuning of the length of the first connecting rope 42, making the patient's injured limb support position more comfortable.

[0034] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the top region of the auxiliary crossbeam 3 in a traction support according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown; Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure of a massage component 5 in a traction bracket according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0035] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the upper surface of the crossbar 32 has an arc-shaped groove 321. Multiple massage components 5 are spaced apart within the groove 321. Each massage component 5 includes a drive motor 51 and a massage head 52 coaxially fixed to the output shaft of the drive motor 51. The drive motor 51 is fixed inside the crossbar 32, exposing the massage head 52 to the inner wall of the groove 321. The massage head 52 has multiple protrusions. Driven by the drive motor 51, the massage head 52 rotates, thus achieving the effect of massaging and relaxing the leg muscles. In actual use, the leg is first removed from the support of the first traction belt 43. Then, by shifting the sleeve 31, the crossbar 32 is positioned below the leg, placing the leg within the groove 321. The drive motor 51 is then activated, causing the massage head 52 to rotate, thereby achieving the effect of massaging the leg. Due to the design of the groove 321, the inner wall of the groove 321 fits the contour of the leg more closely, reducing discomfort in the leg. Furthermore, by rotating the crossbar 32 and the sleeve 31, the crossbar 32 can be positioned above the leg, and the upper part of the injured limb can be massaged, thus greatly simplifying the massage of the injured limb.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, multiple massage components 5 are also embedded at intervals on the side wall of the crossbar 32. During the actual massage process, the crossbar 32 can be rotated to a state where the side wall of the crossbar 32 contacts the leg, thus disengaging from the area of ​​the groove 321. This allows the massage components 5 on the side wall of the crossbar 32 to meet the massage needs of other areas of the leg, greatly increasing the radiation area to the leg.

[0037] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the auxiliary rod in a traction support according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. (Reference) Figure 6 As shown, to reduce discomfort caused by the leg losing support during leg massage, the support frame 2 is also equipped with an auxiliary support component 6 for assisting leg support. The auxiliary support includes an extension rod 61, at least one of which is provided and arranged along the length of the first support frame 2. One end of the extension rod 61 is rotatably connected to the support frame 2, allowing it to rotate away from the head of the bed. A second connecting rope 62 is provided at the end of the extension rod 61. One end of the second connecting rope 62 is fixed to the end of the extension rod 61, and the other end is connected to a second traction belt 63. During leg massage, the extension rod 61 can be rotated, causing its end to rotate towards the foot area, and the foot can be placed inside the second traction belt 63, thereby supporting the injured limb. At this time, the crossbar 32 is located below the leg, which can greatly reduce the foreign body sensation in the lower half of the leg.
