[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compression vest technology, and in particular to a medical compression vest with automatic adjustment after surgery for "dowager's hump". Background Technology
[0002] After surgery for a dowager's hump, pressure needs to be applied to the wound to prevent fluid retention. Traditional postoperative compression devices (such as sandbags and bandages) cannot dynamically adjust pressure according to changes in the patient's position, resulting in uneven pressure. The inability to monitor and adjust pressure in real time may lead to insufficient or excessive pressure. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the medical automatic adjustable compression vest for postoperative "dowager's hump" proposed in this utility model includes a vest 1. The vest 1 includes a back support part 101. Two shoulder straps 102 are fixedly installed at the top of the back support part 101, and the bottom of the back support part 101 is fixedly connected to an adjustment structure. A waist belt 103 is fixedly installed on the shoulder straps 102 and the adjustment structure. A first connecting buckle 104 for adjusting the tightness of the waist belt 103 is fixedly installed on the waist belt 103. A chest strap 105 is fixedly installed on the two shoulder straps 102, and a second connecting buckle 106 for adjusting the tightness of the chest strap 105 is installed on the chest strap 105. The tightness of the vest 1 can be adjusted through the first connecting buckle 104 and the second connecting buckle 106, making it easy to wear the vest on the body.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment also includes a support piece 2 fixedly installed on the vest 1. An air bladder 201 is mounted on the support piece 2, and an air pump assembly is mounted on the vest 1. The air pump assembly inflates and deflates the air bladder 201 according to changes in air pressure. By inflating and deflating the air bladder 201, the pressure applied to the wound site by the air bladder 201 can be adjusted. This allows for real-time adjustment based on changes in body position, ensuring uniform and stable pressure and preventing pressure imbalance. A Velcro surface is fixedly installed on the support piece 2, and a Velcro hook surface is fixedly installed at one end of the air bladder 201. Installing the air bladder 201 in a suitable position according to the patient's body shape can improve the applicability of the vest.
[0025] Furthermore, the air pump assembly includes an air pump fixedly mounted on the vest 1. An air tube connects the air pump to the airbag 201, allowing the air pump to inflate or deflate the airbag 201. A pressure sensor and a solenoid valve are fixedly mounted on the airbag 201. The pressure sensor monitors the internal pressure of the airbag 201, reflecting the pressure exerted by the airbag 201 on the wound. A controller is fixedly mounted on the vest 1, receiving data from the pressure sensor and controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve and the air pump. When the internal pressure of the airbag 201 increases rapidly, such as when changing from a sitting to a lying position, the gas inside the airbag 201 can be rapidly released by opening the solenoid valve, thus preventing excessive internal pressure from the airbag 201 from putting pressure on the wound.
[0026] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, this embodiment also includes an adjustment structure installed on the vest 1. The adjustment structure adjusts the direction of the reaction force of the airbag 201 and adjusts the force on both shoulders. Since the airbag 201 applies pressure to the wound, the airbag 201 will receive a reaction force, which will pull on the vest 1, causing the shoulder straps 102 to apply tension to the shoulders. The shoulders may experience some discomfort after continuous pressure.
[0027] The adjustment structure includes adjustment straps 3 fixedly installed on both sides of the vest 1. The adjustment straps 3 include a first connecting strap 301 and a second connecting strap 302. A tension strap 303 is fixedly installed between the first connecting strap 301 and the second connecting strap 302. A shrink release assembly is installed on the vest 1. When one of the tension straps 303 shrinks, the shrink release assembly releases the other tension strap 303. When one tension band 303 contracts, the other tension band 303 will extend, causing the airbag 201 to tilt towards the contracted side while maintaining constant pressure. This will result in inconsistent lengths on both sides of the vest straps, which will change the direction of the airbag 201's reaction force, leading to uneven force on both shoulders. This can transfer pressure to the other shoulder if one shoulder becomes uncomfortable, thus relieving some of the discomfort. By periodically adjusting the tension bands 303 on both sides, the shoulders can be relaxed alternately. When the tension bands 303 on both sides are in the same state, the pressure exerted by the airbag 201 on the shoulders will be equal.
[0028] Furthermore, the contraction release assembly includes a connecting cylinder 304 fixedly mounted on the second connecting belt 302. A plug 305 is slidably installed inside the connecting cylinder 304, and a connecting rod 307 is fixedly mounted on the plug 305. The other end of the connecting rod 307 is fixedly connected to the first connecting belt 301. Both ends of the two connecting cylinders 304 are connected through hoses 308, and a valve 309 is fixedly mounted on one of the hoses 308. A sealing ring 306 is fixedly mounted on the plug 305. Both the connecting cylinders 304 and the hoses 308 are filled with a transmission medium. The transmission medium is an incompressible gas or liquid in the working state. When the valve 309 is opened, when the tension belt 303 on one side is contracted, the connecting rod 307 needs to be pressed into the connecting cylinder 304. At this time, under the conduction of the transmission medium through the hose 308, the connecting rod 307 on the other side will extend outward, so that when the tension belt 303 on one side contracts, the other side extends.
[0029] In this embodiment, the air pressure inside the airbag 201 can be checked by an air pressure sensor. The air pressure reflects the pressure applied by the airbag 201 to the wound. The air pump can inflate or deflate the airbag 201 by connecting the air tube. By inflating or deflating the airbag 201, the pressure applied by the airbag 201 to the wound can be adjusted. In this way, it can be adjusted in real time according to changes in body position to ensure the uniformity and stability of the pressure and prevent pressure imbalance.
[0030] When one of the tension bands 303 contracts, the other tension band 303 will extend, causing the airbag 201 to tilt towards the contracted side while maintaining constant pressure. This will result in inconsistent lengths on both sides of the vest straps, which will change the direction of the airbag 201's reaction force, causing uneven stress on both shoulders. This can transfer the pressure to the other shoulder after one shoulder becomes uncomfortable, thus providing some relief to that shoulder.
[0031] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
