Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lumbar fixation devices, specifically a novel lumbar support brace. Background Technology

[0002] With societal development, the number of patients suffering from lower back pain, lumbar disc herniation, lumbar muscle strain, and thoracic compression fractures is constantly increasing. These lumbar and thoracic diseases are increasingly affecting people's normal lives and should be treated promptly to achieve early recovery. Moreover, rehabilitation treatment for patients after thoracic and lumbar fracture fixation and spinal fusion surgery is also very important in daily life.

[0003] For these conditions, most people only use a lumbar support belt for protection. A lumbar support belt, also known as a waist belt or waist protector, is a belt worn around the waist to protect the waist from injury, keep it warm, or perform certain special functions.

[0004] When adjusting the patient's waist with the existing device, the fixation plate at the abdomen and the fixation plate at the lumbar spine are moved towards each other by pulling the strap, thus fixing the patient's waist from front to back. However, this fixation method is not very effective for patients of different body types. Obese patients usually have larger abdomens, and when a normal-sized device is used to fix the abdomen of obese patients, the fixation plate cannot fully cover the larger abdomen and will become loose after installation. The fixation plate needs to be installed on the patient's abdomen with the strap, and both the strap and the fixation plate have to be constricted on the patient's abdomen for a long time, which will cause strong discomfort to the patient's abdomen. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to address the problem that existing obese patients often have large abdomens, and the straps and fixation plates have to be constricted on the patient's abdomen for a long time, causing strong discomfort to the patient's abdomen. This application provides a new type of lumbar spine brace.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel lumbar support includes a front support, a side plate fixedly connected to one side of the front support, an elastic band fixedly connected inside the side plate, a telescopic belt fixedly connected to one side of the front support, a rear support fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic belt, and an adjustment structure provided on the outer side of the front support.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the patient wears the device, the device can be placed on the ground, with the patient standing between the front and rear supports. Then, the entire device is lifted to the waist and abdomen. At this time, the elastic band will pull the front and rear supports to pre-fix the device from the front and back of the patient. Then, the upper and lower side plates are moved to the upper abdomen and hip bone respectively. At this time, the adjustment structure is directly facing the patient's abdomen. By adjusting the patient's abdomen through the adjustment structure, the device can be adapted to the abdomen of different patients, thereby improving the versatility and comfort of the device.

[0009] Furthermore, the adjustment structure includes an adjustment belt that is slidably disposed inside the front bracket, an adjustment plate that is fixedly connected to the end of the adjustment belt, and a limit post that is fixedly connected to the end of the adjustment belt.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the device can be finely adjusted by pulling the limiting column when providing support treatment to different patients. By adjusting the adjustment plate and adjustment belt, the adjustment plate can be adapted to the abdomen of different patients, thereby improving the versatility and comfort of the device.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixed column is fixedly connected inside the front bracket, and a limit plate is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixed column. The limit plate is an L-shaped plate, and a fixed tooth groove is opened on the inner side of the limit plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting plate moves along the fixed column to the adjusting belt to abut and limit the adjusting belt, and the adjusting belt is fixed by the fixing groove on the limiting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, a torsion spring is sleeved on the outside of the fixed column, and the two ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the front bracket and the limiting plate, respectively.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the torsion spring resets and drives the limiting plate to move along the fixed column towards the adjusting belt to abut and limit the adjusting belt.

[0015] Furthermore, an arc-shaped plate is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the rear bracket, and a guide post is fixedly connected inside the arc-shaped plate. The outer surface of the guide post is slidably connected to the rear bracket.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the curved plate is guided and restricted by the guide column while moving, making the movement of the curved plate more stable.

[0017] Furthermore, a screw is rotatably connected inside the arc-shaped plate, and the outer surface of the screw is threadedly connected to the rear support. A rotating plate is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped plate, and the end of the rotating plate is fixedly connected to the screw.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, rotating the rotating plate drives the screw to rotate, and the rotation of the screw drives the arc plate to push along the side wall of the rear support towards the patient's lumbar spine. This allows the device to adjust the arc plate to different sizes and treatment needs according to different patients' physical conditions, so that the patient's lumbar spine is better supported.

[0019] Furthermore, the arc-shaped plate has a ventilation groove inside, the inner wall of the side plate is fixedly connected to an abdominal pad, and the inner wall of the rear support is fixedly connected to a lumbar pad.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the lumbar and abdominal pads set inside the device protect the patient's hip bones, while the ventilation grooves can alleviate the problem of heat and sweating in summer, making the patient feel less friction on the hip bones and more comfortable when wearing the device.

[0021] Furthermore, the upper end of the front bracket is provided with a mounting groove that extends through the front bracket. A strap is slidably disposed in the mounting groove. One end of the strap is fixedly connected to the rear bracket, and a Velcro fastener is fixedly connected to one side of the strap.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when wearing the device, the device can be placed on the ground, with the patient standing between the front and rear supports. Then, the entire device can be lifted to the waist and abdomen, the strap can be passed through the mounting slot, and the Velcro at the end of the strap can be attached and fixed to the end of the strap to limit the strap. This makes the wearing of the device more convenient.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects;

[0024] 1. In this application, when the patient wears the device, as the side plate limits the lower and upper parts of the patient's abdomen, the adjustment plate also fits against the patient's abdomen. When the patient feels the adjustment plate is too loose, they can simultaneously pull the limiting posts on both sides of the front support. As the limiting posts are pulled outward, the adjustment band moves to the outside of the front support, allowing the adjustment plate to gradually fit against the patient's abdomen. At the same time, the moving adjustment band pushes the limiting plate to rotate away from the support along the fixed post, causing the torsion spring to contract with the rotation of the fiber plate. When the adjustment plate fits against the patient's abdomen, pulling the limiting posts stops, and the adjustment band stops moving. At this time, the torsion spring returns to its original position, causing the limiting plate to rotate away from the support. The positioning plate moves along the fixed post towards the adjustment belt, engaging and limiting the adjustment belt. The adjustment belt is then secured by the fixed grooves on the positioning plate. When the patient's abdomen is large, the positioning plate is manually rotated to make it engage with the adjustment belt. The patient then wears the device, allowing their abdomen to support the adjustment plate. The positioning post is then pulled for fine-tuning, and the positioning plate is released to continue limiting the adjustment belt. This allows the device to adapt to different patients' abdomens during support therapy, improving its versatility and comfort.

[0025] 2. In this application, when the rear support needs to be adjusted according to the patient's body shape, rotating the rotating plate drives the screw to rotate. The rotation of the screw drives the arc-shaped plate to push along the side wall of the rear support towards the patient's lumbar spine. While the arc-shaped plate moves, it is guided and restricted by the guide column, making the movement of the arc-shaped plate more stable. When the arc-shaped plate fits the patient's lumbar spine, the rotating plate stops rotating. This allows the device to adjust the arc-shaped plate to different sizes and treatment needs according to different patients' body conditions, so that the patient's lumbar spine is better supported. The lumbar and abdominal pads set on the inside of the device protect the patient's hip bones. In summer, the ventilation groove can alleviate the problem of the patient's stuffiness and sweating, so that the patient wears the device with less friction on the hip bones and greater comfort.

[0033] The following will refer to the embodiments of this utility model. Figures 1-5 The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel lumbar support, including a front support 1, a side plate 3 fixedly connected to one side of the front support 1, an elastic band 4 fixedly connected inside the side plate 3, a telescopic band 7 fixedly connected to one side of the front support 1, a rear support 2 fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic band 7, and an adjustment structure provided on the outside of the front support 1.

[0035] When a patient wears the device, it can be placed on the ground with the patient's legs standing between the front support 1 and the rear support 2. The entire device can then be lifted to the waist and abdomen. At this point, pulling the limiting post 8 will cause the telescopic belt 7 to pull the front support 1 and the rear support 2 to pre-fix the device from the front and back of the patient. Then, the upper and lower side plates 3 can be moved to the upper abdomen and hip bone respectively. At this point, the adjustment structure is aligned with the patient's abdomen. By adjusting the adjustment structure, the device can be adapted to the abdomen of different patients, thereby improving the versatility and comfort of the device.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 5 The adjustment structure includes an adjustment belt 14 slidably disposed inside the front bracket 1, with an adjustment plate 13 fixedly connected to one end of the adjustment belt 14, and a limit post 9 fixedly connected to the other end of the adjustment belt 14. A fixed post 18 is fixedly connected inside the front bracket 1, and a limit plate 8 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the fixed post 18. The limit plate 8 is an L-shaped plate with a fixing groove on its inner side. A torsion spring 19 is sleeved on the outer side of the fixed post 18, with both ends of the torsion spring 19 fixedly connected to the front bracket 1 and the limit plate 8, respectively.

[0037] When the patient wears the device, the side plate 3 limits the lower and upper parts of the patient's abdomen. At this time, the adjustment plate 13 also fits against the patient's abdomen. When the patient feels that the adjustment plate 13 is too loose, they can simultaneously pull the limiting posts 9 on both sides of the front support 1. As the limiting posts 9 are pulled outward, the adjustment band 14 moves to the outside of the front support 1, allowing the adjustment plate 13 to gradually fit against the patient's abdomen. At the same time, the moving adjustment band 14 pushes the limiting plate 8 to rotate away from the support along the fixed post 18, causing the torsion spring 19 to contract with the rotation of the fiber plate. When the adjustment plate 13 fits against the patient's abdomen, stop pulling the limiting posts 9 so that the adjustment band 14 stops moving. At this time, the torsion spring 19 returns to its original position, driving the limiting plate... 8. Move along the fixed post 18 to the adjusting belt 14 to abut and limit the adjusting belt 14, and fix the adjusting belt 14 through the fixed tooth groove on the limiting plate 8. When the patient's abdomen is large, manually rotate the limiting plate 8 to make it contact the adjusting belt 14. Then, the patient wears the device so that their abdomen supports the adjusting plate 13. Then, pull the limiting post 9 for fine adjustment. After that, release the limiting plate 8 to continue to limit the adjusting belt 14. This allows the device to adapt to the abdomen of different patients by adjusting the adjusting plate 13 and the adjusting belt 14 when providing support treatment, thereby improving the versatility and comfort of the device.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 An arc-shaped plate 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rear support 2. A guide post 17 is fixedly connected inside the arc-shaped plate 10, and the outer surface of the guide post 17 is slidably connected to the rear support 2. A screw 16 is rotatably connected inside the arc-shaped plate 10, and the outer surface of the screw 16 is threadedly connected to the rear support 2. A rotating plate 15 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped plate 10, and the end of the rotating plate 15 is fixedly connected to the screw 16. A ventilation groove is provided inside the arc-shaped plate 10. An abdominal pad 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the side plate 3, and a lumbar pad 11 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rear support 2.

[0039] When the rear support 2 needs to be adjusted according to the patient's body shape, rotating the rotating plate 15 drives the screw 16 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 16 drives the arc plate 10 to push along the side wall of the rear support 2 towards the patient's lumbar spine. While the arc plate 10 is moving, it is guided and restricted by the guide column 17, making the movement of the arc plate 10 more stable. When the arc plate 10 fits the patient's lumbar spine, the rotating plate 15 stops rotating. This allows the device to adjust the arc plate 10 according to different patients' body conditions, different sizes and treatment needs, so that the patient's lumbar spine is better supported. The lumbar pad 11 and abdominal pad 12 set inside the device protect the patient's hip bones. In summer, the ventilation groove can alleviate the problem of the patient's stuffiness and sweating, so that the patient wears the device with less friction on the hip bones and greater comfort.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The front bracket 1 has an installation groove at its upper end, which extends through the front bracket 1. A strap 5 is slidably installed in the installation groove. One end of the strap 5 is fixedly connected to the rear bracket 2, and a Velcro 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the strap 5.

[0041] When wearing the device, the device can be placed on the ground, and the patient can stand with both legs between the front support 1 and the rear support 2. Then, the entire device can be lifted to the waist and abdomen. The strap 5 can be passed through the mounting slot, and the Velcro 6 at the end of the strap 5 can be attached and fixed to the end of the strap 5 to limit the strap 5. This makes the wearing of the device more convenient.

[0042] Working principle: When the patient wears the device, it can be placed on the ground with the patient standing between the front support 1 and the rear support 2. The entire device is then lifted to the waist and abdomen. Existing devices require the patient to lie on a hospital bed, with medical staff placing the rear support 2 on the lower back and the front support 1 on the abdomen. The patient then uses their hands to secure the front support 1. Medical staff then pass the straps through the front support 1 and rear support 2, pulling and securing the straps to stabilize the lumbar spine. This new device allows the patient to wear it independently. To avoid the inconvenience of medical staff installing anterior and posterior supports on the patient's lumbar spine, the device is made easier to wear. Pulling the limiting post 8 causes the telescopic strap 7 to pull the front support 1 and rear support 2 to pre-fix the device from the front and back of the patient. Then, pull the elastic band 4 between the upper and lower side plates 3, moving it to the upper abdomen and hip area respectively. When the patient wears the device, as the side plates 3 limit the lower and upper parts of the patient's abdomen, the adjusting plate 13 also fits snugly against the patient's abdomen. When the patient feels that the adjusting plate 13 is too loose, they can simultaneously pull the limiting posts 9 on both sides of the front support 1. As the limiting posts are pulled outwards... The positioning post 9 moves the adjusting belt 14 outward from the front support 1, allowing the adjusted belt 14 to hang at the front end of the front support 1, i.e., at the patient's abdomen. This allows the adjusting plate 13 to gradually conform to the patient's abdomen. When the positioning post 9 is pulled, the limiting plate 8 is simultaneously pushed to rotate away from the support along the fixed post 18, causing the torsion spring 19 to contract with the rotation of the fiberboard, moving the end of the limiting plate 8 away from the surface of the adjusting belt 14. When the adjusting plate 13 conforms to the patient's abdomen, the pulling of the limiting post 9 is stopped, and the adjusting belt 14 stops moving. At this time, the torsion spring 19 returns to its original position, causing the limiting plate 8 to move along the fixed post 18 towards the adjusting belt 14, thus putting pressure on the adjusting belt 14. The device is positioned and fixed by the fixing groove on the limiting plate 8 to fix the adjusting belt 14. When the patient's abdomen is large, the limiting plate 8 is manually rotated to make it contact the limiting position of the adjusting belt 14. Then, the patient wears the device so that their abdomen supports the adjusting plate 13. Then, the limiting column 9 is pulled for fine adjustment. After that, the limiting plate 8 is released so that the fixing groove on the limiting plate 8 fixes the adjusting belt 14. This allows the device to adapt to the abdomen of different patients by adjusting the adjusting plate 13 and the adjusting belt 14 when providing support treatment to different patients, thereby improving the versatility and comfort of the device.

[0043] When the rear support 2 needs to be adjusted according to the patient's body shape, rotating the rotating plate 15 drives the screw 16 to rotate. The rotation of the screw 16 drives the arc plate 10 to push along the side wall of the rear support 2 towards the patient's lumbar spine. While the arc plate 10 is moving, it is guided and restricted by the guide column 17, making the movement of the arc plate 10 more stable. When the arc plate 10 fits the patient's lumbar spine, the rotating plate 15 stops rotating. This allows the device to adjust the arc plate 10 according to different patients' body conditions, different sizes and treatment needs, so that the patient's lumbar spine is better supported. The lumbar pad 11 and abdominal pad 12 set inside the device protect the patient's hip bones. In summer, the ventilation groove can alleviate the problem of the patient's stuffiness and sweating, so that the patient wears the device with less friction on the hip bones and greater comfort.
