Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation device technology, and in particular to a rehabilitation device for clinical use in traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics. Background Technology
[0002] In the medical field, orthopedic diseases are becoming increasingly challenging due to an aging population, fast-paced lifestyles, and frequent sports injuries. Fractures, cervical spondylosis, and lumbar disc herniation affect a large number of people. For example, the incidence of osteoporotic fractures is high among the elderly, and cervical spondylosis is becoming more common among office workers at a younger age. While Western orthopedic medicine is effective through precise imaging diagnosis, surgery, and drug treatment, surgery is highly invasive, and drugs can cause gastrointestinal, liver, and kidney problems. Traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics, with its millennia-old heritage and profound theoretical foundation, follows a holistic approach, seeking the root cause from the internal organs and meridians. Manual reduction techniques skillfully utilize the "Eight Methods of Bone Setting," resulting in minimal trauma; internal and external herbal medicine, based on syndrome differentiation, reduces swelling and pain, promotes bone repair, and possesses unique advantages.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN217286435U discloses a rehabilitation device for clinical use in traditional Chinese medicine orthopedics, comprising two first support rods, each U-shaped, with a second support rod at each end. A stabilizing plate is positioned at one end between the two first support rods, with both ends of the stabilizing plate fixedly connected to the adjacent sides of the two first support rods. Anti-slip sleeves are fitted on the tops of the first support rods, and anti-wear pads are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the second support rods. A slot is formed at the end of the second support rod near the first support rod, and both ends of the first support rod are slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot. This device, with its first and second seat plates and support blocks, allows patients to sit down and rest promptly when feeling discomfort during independent rehabilitation exercises, preventing situations where patients suddenly feel unwell and are unable to find a place to rest, thus ensuring patient safety.
[0004] While the device can assist patients with mobility issues, it requires the patient to use their hands for support, which presents several limitations. For elderly patients with weak hand strength or those with unhealed upper limb injuries, it is difficult to effectively exert force with their own hands. This not only prevents them from fully utilizing the device for convenient movement but may also cause muscle strains or joint damage in the upper limbs due to forced force, leading to secondary injuries.

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0024] like Figures 1-5As shown, it includes a front fixed frame 1, two side fixed frames 2 are symmetrically hinged at the left and right ends of the front fixed frame 1, four universal wheels 3 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the two side fixed frames 2 respectively, the upper parts of the two side fixed frames 2 are mutually limited by locking components 6, a retaining component 4 is slidably arranged between the opposite surfaces of the front fixed frame 1 along its height direction, and climbing components 5 are respectively arranged on the lower part of the front fixed frame 1 and the two side fixed frames 2 along their horizontal direction.
[0025] In actual use, the four casters 3 at the bottom of the two side fixing frames 2 make it easy for the user to glide along during movement. The user does not need to use their upper limbs to support themselves while walking. The front fixing frame 1 and the two side fixing frames 2 work together to support and protect the user inside the front fixing frame 1 and the two side fixing frames 2. The abutment component 4 on the front fixing frame 1 ensures that the device always moves in sync with the user during use. In addition, the step-climbing component 5 enables the device to climb stairs.
[0026] Specifically, the abutment component 4 includes a support rod 41. Two sliding frames 411 that slide against the vertical ends of the front fixed frame 1 are fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the support rod 41. Two threaded holes 412 are symmetrically opened through the lower side of the opposite surfaces of the two sliding frames 411. Two handle screws 413 are threadedly installed on the inner surface of the two threaded holes 412. The two handle screws 413 abut against the opposite vertical surfaces of the front fixed frame 1 through the two ends of the two threaded holes 412.
[0027] Two guide holes 42 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the front end of the support rod 41 away from the middle. Two guide rods 431 are slidably connected to the inner surface of the two guide holes 42 respectively. Two limiting blocks 433 that limit the support rod 41 are fixedly installed at the front end of the two guide rods 431 respectively. The rear ends of the two guide rods 431 are fixedly connected to the guardrail 43.
[0028] Two springs 432 are respectively fitted on the outer surfaces of the two guide rods 431, and the two ends of the two springs 432 abut against the barrier 43 and the support rod 41 respectively.
[0029] The support rod 41 can slide up and down along the height direction of the front fixed frame 1 through the sliding frames 411 at its left and right ends. The height of the support rod 41 can be adjusted according to the user's height. Then, the two handle screws 413 are turned to limit the two sliding frames 411 respectively, so as to prevent the support rod 41 from sliding down unnecessarily.
[0030] The tension of two springs 432 fitted on the outer surface of the two guide rods 431 pushes the barrier 43, keeping the barrier 43 in close contact with the patient's body. In this way, when the patient's front fixation frame 1 and the two side fixation frames 2 move inside, the front fixation frame 1 and the two side fixation frames 2 can always support the patient and move together through the four universal wheels 3.
[0031] Specifically, the climbing component 5 includes two electric cylinders 51 and two L-shaped fixing seats 52. The two L-shaped fixing seats 52 are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom horizontal position of the front fixing frame 1. Each of the tops of the two L-shaped fixing seats 52 is rotatably mounted with a pulley 521. The two electric cylinders 51 are respectively installed through the rear side of the bottom horizontal position of the two side fixing frames 2. The output ends of the two electric cylinders 51 are respectively fixedly mounted with two bottom contact plates 511.
[0032] When climbing is required, the two electric cylinders 51 are activated. The two electric cylinders 51 push the two bottom plates 511 downward, thereby holding the two side fixing frames 2 and causing the front fixing frame 1 to tilt forward together. After the front fixing frame 1 tilts, the two pulleys 521 mounted on the lower horizontal top of its top contact the previous step. In this way, the two pulleys 521 continue to roll forward when the patient moves, so that the user does not need to hold the device to climb the steps.
[0033] Specifically, the locking component 6 includes a rotating hole 61 and a limiting hole 62. The rotating hole 61 and the limiting hole 62 are symmetrically opened at the top of the uppermost horizontal direction of the two side fixing brackets 2. A limiting ring groove 611 is opened in the middle of the inner cavity of the rotating hole 61. A rotating rod 63 is rotatably installed on the inner surface of the rotating hole 61.
[0034] A rotating ring 631 that rotates with the limiting ring groove 611 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the rotating rod 63. A connecting plate 64 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating rod 63. An insertion hole 641 that is aligned with the limiting hole 62 is opened through the top of the connecting plate 64 on the side away from the rotating rod 63. A pin 642 is inserted into the inner surface of the insertion hole 641 and the limiting hole 62.
[0035] Rotate the two side fixing brackets 2 separately to make them move away from each other. When the user enters between the two side fixing brackets 2, rotate the two side fixing brackets 2 again to close them. When the two side fixing brackets 2 are in the closed state, insert the pin 642 into the limiting hole 62 through the insertion hole 641. In this way, the two side fixing brackets 2 are locked and cannot be opened.
[0036] Conversely, pull the pin 642 inserted in the inner surface of the limiting hole 62 upward, and then rotate the connecting plate 64. The connecting plate 64 rotates around the rotating rod 63 as the axis, causing the pin 642 to move away from the limiting hole 62. This releases the locking state of the two side fixing brackets 2, allowing the two side fixing brackets 2 to be opened.
[0037] It should be noted that the specific installation method, circuit connection method and control method of the electric cylinder 51 used in this utility model are all conventional designs, and will not be described in detail in this utility model.
[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages 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 its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
