Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spinal support technology, and in particular to a novel lumbar support. Background Technology

[0002] A lumbar support belt is a lumbar protection device that combines rigid support with elastic fabric. It can stabilize the lumbar spine, reduce local pressure, and is suitable for people who sit for long periods at work, do physical labor, or are recovering from surgery. When worn, it can effectively limit excessive twisting movements, reduce the risk of sports injuries, and at the same time promote blood circulation by keeping warm, helping to relieve chronic lower back pain and sciatica.

[0003] Existing lumbar support devices mostly use rigid support structures, which means that flight attendants can only support their lower back when seated, resulting in concentrated pressure on the lumbar spine. At the same time, some of the fixed straps restrict the natural movement of the lower back, exacerbating fatigue from prolonged sitting. Therefore, a new type of lumbar support device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a new type of lumbar support, which aims to improve the problem that existing lumbar support is prone to pressure concentration on the lumbar spine due to its rigid support structure and the fact that the fixing straps exacerbate fatigue from prolonged sitting, making it unsuitable for use by flight attendants.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A novel lumbar support includes a back brace. Two restraint straps are fixedly connected to the outside of the back brace. A positioning rope is fixedly connected to the inside of the restraint straps. A fixing box is slidably connected to the outside of the positioning rope. A sliding groove is formed on the inner wall of the fixing box. A sliding plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. Multiple springs are fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding plate. The other ends of the multiple springs are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding plate.

[0007] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0008] A traction block is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding plate, and the traction block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The inner wall of the fixing box has two positioning holes, and the other is fixedly connected to the inside of the restraint strap with a fixing rope.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] The fixing rope is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole, and the positioning rope is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] The inner wall of the fixing box has two limiting holes, and the outer side of the fixing rope is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting holes. The outer side of the positioning rope is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting holes.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The inner wall of the back protector has multiple ventilation holes.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. In this utility model, under the action of multiple springs, the reset of the sliding plate can cause the two positioning holes and the two limiting holes to be misaligned, thereby fixing the length of the positioning rope and the fixing rope. The protective gear can be dynamically adjusted to be suitable for multiple scenarios such as flight attendants standing, walking, and carrying, without the need for frequent putting on and taking off, thus improving wearing compliance.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a novel waist support, comprising a back brace 1. Two restraint straps 3 are fixedly connected to the outside of the back brace 1 for user adjustment of its position. A positioning rope 4 is fixedly connected inside the restraint straps 3, and its position can be adjusted by moving the restraint straps 3. A fixing box 5 is slidably connected to the outside of the positioning rope 4, fixing the position of the positioning rope 4. A groove 12 is formed on the inner wall of the fixing box 5, and a sliding plate 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 12, allowing the sliding plate 6 to slide freely within the groove 12. Multiple springs 8 are fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding plate 6, and their position can be adjusted by moving the sliding plate 6. The other end of each spring 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing box 5, fixing the other end of the springs 8 and allowing the springs 8 to return to their original position in a specific direction. A traction block 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding plate 6; pressing the traction block 7 changes its position, causing the sliding plate 6 to change position.

[0027] The traction block 7 is externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 12, which fixes the sliding position of the traction block 7. Two positioning holes 9 are provided on the inner wall of the fixing box 5 to assist in adjusting the tightness. A fixing rope 11 is internally fixedly connected to another restraint strap 3; the positional change of the fixing rope 11 can adjust the position of the other restraint strap 3. The fixing rope 11 and the positioning rope 4 are externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole 9, and the positioning hole 9 fixes the positions of the fixing rope 11 and the positioning rope 4. Two limiting holes 10 are provided on the inner wall of the fixing box 5; the fixing rope 11 and the positioning rope 4 are externally slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting hole 10, and the limiting hole 10 fixes the positions of the fixing rope 11 and the positioning rope 4. By misaligning the positions of the positioning hole 9 and the limiting hole 10, the lengths of the fixing rope 11 and the positioning rope 4 are fixed, thus determining the tightness. The inner wall of the back support 1 has multiple ventilation holes 2 to increase the user's comfort.

[0028] Working principle: When in use, place the back brace 1 close to the user's back and press the traction block 7. The position change of the traction block 7 causes the sliding plate 6 to slide on the inner wall of the slide groove 12, thereby deforming multiple springs 8. The positioning rope 4 and the fixing rope 11 are connected to the positioning hole 9 through the limiting hole 10. The tightness of the protective gear is adjusted by adjusting the length of the positioning rope 4 and the fixing rope 11. After the external force is removed, under the action of multiple springs 8, the sliding plate 6 returns to its original position, causing the two positioning holes 9 to misalign with the two limiting holes 10, thereby fixing the length of the positioning rope 4 and the fixing rope 11. This protective gear can dynamically adjust its tightness, adapting to various scenarios such as standing, walking, and carrying for flight attendants, avoiding the compression or stiffness problems of traditional lumbar supports. The portable design alleviates the impact of flight turbulence, reduces strain from prolonged standing and bending, eliminates the need for frequent putting on and taking off, improves wearing compliance, comprehensively reduces the risk of occupational lumbar diseases, and balances protective effectiveness with daily convenience.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
