[0025] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a support device for postoperative head and neck care, including a chest side waist belt 1, a locking mechanism 2 is provided at the front of the chest side waist belt 1, a neck protector 3 is provided at the top of the chest side waist belt 1, and a fixing mechanism 4 is provided at the left and right tops of the neck protector 3.

[0027] The fixing mechanism 4 includes a mounting plate 401, which is provided in two sets. Both sets of mounting plates 401 are located at the left and right top ends of the neck protector 3. Each set of mounting plates 401 has a first fixing plate 402 at its top end. A damping shaft 403 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of each set of first fixing plates 402. A limit plate 404 is provided on the outer surface of each set of damping shafts 403. A sponge block 405 is provided on the inner side of each set of limit plates 404. A vertical plate 406 is provided at the top outer end of each set of limit plates 404.

[0028] The top of each of the two sets of vertical plates 406 is provided with a second fixing plate 407. The inner side of each of the two sets of second fixing plates 407 is provided with a damping shaft 403 that is the same as the inner side of the first fixing plate 402. The outer surface of one set of damping shafts 403 is provided with a movable block 408. A lead screw 409 is rotatably installed inside the movable block 408. A second knob 410 is fixedly installed at one end of the lead screw 409, and a nut 411 is provided on the outer surface of the other set of damping shafts 403.

[0029] In this solution, the installation plate 401, the first fixing plate 402, and the damping shaft 403 work together to allow the limiting plate 404 to flexibly adjust its angle to adapt to different patients' head shapes. The sponge block 405 on the inner side of the limiting plate 404 increases comfort and effectively reduces the pressure on the patient's head. The movable block 408 works in conjunction with the lead screw 409 and the nut 411. By rotating the second knob 410, the distance between the two sets of limiting plates 404 can be finely adjusted, further ensuring the stability and fit of the head, and achieving a more precise and comfortable support effect for the patient's neck.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, in the above specific technical solution, the front and rear outer surfaces of the neck protector 3 are provided with several sets of buckles 301.

[0031] In this design, the several sets of latches 301 on the front and rear outer surfaces of the neck brace 3 not only enhance the overall structural strength of the neck brace 3, but also provide additional fixing points, making the neck brace 3 less prone to displacement during patient movement, and further improving the stability and safety of the support device.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, in the above specific technical solution, the locking mechanism 2 includes a mounting frame 201. A drive gear 202 is mounted on the top of the inside of the mounting frame 201, and a driven gear 203 is arranged directly above the drive gear 202. Synchronous pulleys 204 are arranged on the front side of both the drive gear 202 and the driven gear 203. Both sets of synchronous pulleys 204 are connected by a synchronous belt 205. A first knob 206 is arranged on the front side of one set of synchronous pulleys 204. A double rack 207 meshes with the top of the drive gear 202 and the top of the driven gear 203. The double rack 207 is arranged on the front right end of the chest side waist belt 1. The same locking mechanism 2 as the front side is arranged on the rear side of the chest side waist belt 1.

[0033] In this solution, the driving gear 202 and driven gear 203 inside the mounting frame 201 are connected by the synchronous pulley 204 and the synchronous belt 205 to ensure that when the first knob 206 is rotated, it can synchronously drive the double rod racks 207 on both sides to move horizontally, thereby realizing the adjustment of the tightness of the chest side waist belt 1 and providing personalized fixation effect for patients of different body types.

[0034] In practical use, the support device is fixed by the chest side waist belt 1 around the patient's chest. The locking mechanism 2 realizes the tightness adjustment. Inside the locking mechanism 2, the driving gear 202 and the driven gear 203 are connected by the synchronous wheel 204 and the synchronous belt 205. Rotating the first knob 206 can synchronously drive the double rod racks 207 on both sides to move horizontally, thereby adjusting the tightness of the chest side waist belt 1 to adapt to patients of different body types. The neck brace 3 is located at the top of the chest side waist belt 1 and supports the patient's head through the fixing mechanism 4.

[0035] Secondly, the limiting plate 404 in the fixing mechanism 4 is installed on the mounting plate 401 via the damping shaft 403, and the angle can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different head shapes. The sponge block 405 on the inner side of the limiting plate 404 increases comfort and reduces pressure. The movable block 408 works in conjunction with the lead screw 409 and nut 411. Rotating the second knob 410 can finely adjust the distance between the two sets of limiting plates 404 to ensure the stability and fit of the head, achieving a precise and comfortable support effect. Finally, the buckles 301 on the front and rear outer surfaces of the neck brace 3 enhance the structural strength, provide additional fixing points, prevent the neck brace 3 from shifting when the patient moves, and improve the stability and safety of the support device.

[0036] 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 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 claimed utility model.
