Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of health, elderly care, fitness and physiotherapy, and in particular to a tendon-stretching spinal therapy mattress. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine often says, "For every inch the tendons lengthen, life is extended by ten years." When humans walk upright, the spine and legs are constantly compressed under the influence of gravity. With age, bone density decreases, and muscles and tendons atrophy, causing deformation and shortening of the spine and legs in middle-aged and elderly individuals. This can lead to a sub-healthy state or cause cervical, lumbar, and leg problems. The theoretical support for tendon-stretching spinal therapy in traditional Chinese medicine is mainly reflected in the theories of meridians, qi and blood, and the holistic concept.

[0003] Firstly, according to the theory of meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine, the meridian system of the human body is distributed throughout the body, connecting various internal organs and extremities. The unobstructed flow of these meridians directly affects the body's motor function and health. Stretching and spinal therapy uses specific techniques and tools to stretch and massage the spine and meridians to achieve the goals of unblocking the meridians, harmonizing qi and blood, and relieving spasms and pain.

[0004] Furthermore, Traditional Chinese Medicine's theory of Qi and Blood emphasizes that Qi and Blood are the fundamental substances for human life activities, and that the abundance and smooth flow of Qi and Blood are key to maintaining human health. Spinal stretching therapy, by stretching the spine and muscles, helps promote the flow and circulation of Qi and Blood, thereby relieving symptoms such as pain and numbness caused by poor Qi and Blood circulation.

[0005] Finally, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views the human body as an organic whole, with all parts interconnected and influencing each other. Spinal stretching therapy not only focuses on localized problems in the spine and meridians but also emphasizes treating diseases by adjusting the overall flow of Qi and blood throughout the body.

[0006] In conclusion, the theories of tendons and collaterals, qi and blood, and holistic view in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) provide a solid theoretical foundation for tendon and spinal stretching therapy. Through this therapy, people can effectively alleviate spinal and tendon-related diseases and symptoms, and improve their overall health, guided by TCM theories.

[0007] In such cases, patients may use expensive assistive medical devices and physical therapy methods under the guidance of a doctor for recovery. The equipment used by medical institutions is mostly expensive, resulting in high treatment costs and inconvenience. Currently, such products on the market cost anywhere from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yuan.

[0008] Therefore, considering the health problems faced by middle-aged and elderly people due to spinal and leg deformities and shortening, as well as the high price and inconvenience of existing assistive medical devices on the market, there is an urgent need for a tendon-stretching spinal therapy mattress that can be used at home by the general public and is easy to operate. Utility Model Content

[0009] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a tendon-stretching spinal therapy mattress that can be used at home by the general public. It is easy to operate and reduces the treatment costs for patients.

[0010] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0011] A spinal stretching mattress includes a mattress body with a headboard and a footboard at its two ends. The headboard has a top plate, and the footboard has a stretching plate. The top plate has an elastic headrest on the side facing the stretching plate, and the stretching plate has a semi-rigid medical footrest on the side facing the top plate. The bottom of the mattress body has a foot stretching mechanism for driving the stretching plate to move along the length of the mattress body. The foot stretching mechanism includes a cylinder, with the cylinder seat connected to the mattress body and the piston rod connected to the stretching plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, the user lies supine on the mattress with their head at the head end and feet at the foot end. The elastic head strap on the top plate is wrapped around the chin for elastic fixation, and the semi-rigid medical foot strap on the stretch plate is wrapped around the instep for fixation. Then, the cylinder is activated, and the piston rod of the cylinder extends and retracts, driving the stretch plate to move along the length of the mattress. When the piston rod of the cylinder moves the stretch plate towards the foot end of the bed, by controlling the cylinder's running time, the user's legs and feet are subjected to controllable tension. The legs and feet transmit the force to the spine, up to the cervical spine, thus stretching both the spine and legs, achieving the effects of stretching, relaxing muscles, and stretching the spine. This results in muscle revitalization, increased flexibility, spinal stretching therapy, and improved health. Moreover, it can be used at home by the general public, is easy to operate, and reduces the treatment costs for patients.

[0013] Furthermore, the head elastic fixing strap is provided with a positioning end cap that fits the user's chin, and the positioning end cap is used to fix the head elastic fixing strap to the user's chin.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning end cap can limit the position of the head elastic fixation strap, fix the head elastic fixation strap at the user's chin, prevent the head elastic fixation strap from slipping to the neck, and eliminate safety hazards.

[0015] Furthermore, the stretching plate is sleeved on the mattress body and extends to the bottom of the mattress body. The stretching plate has a receiving groove for accommodating the mattress body. The mattress body has two guide grooves, both of which are arranged along the length direction of the mattress body. The stretching plate is movably sleeved on the mattress body between the two guide grooves through the receiving groove, and the two sides of the stretching plate move along the two guide grooves respectively.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of the piston rod of the cylinder driving the stretching plate to move along the length of the mattress body, the stretching plate moves along the mattress body through the receiving groove, and the two sides of the stretching plate move along the two guide grooves respectively, so that the mattress body does not interfere with the movement of the stretching plate.

[0017] Furthermore, the stretching plate does not contact the mattress body.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, friction between the stretching plate and the mattress body is avoided, which would affect the stability of the stretching plate's movement.

[0019] Furthermore, the foot stretching mechanism also includes a guide post and two guide plates. The two guide plates are located on both sides of the stretching plate, and both guide plates are connected to the mattress body and are parallel to the stretching plate. The guide post is parallel to the piston rod of the cylinder, passes through the stretching plate, and its two ends are connected to the two guide plates respectively.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of the piston rod of the cylinder driving the stretching plate to move along the length of the mattress body, the stretching plate moves linearly along the guide post between the two guide plates, realizing the guiding role of the guide post on the movement of the stretching plate, making the movement process of the stretching plate more stable.

[0021] Furthermore, two guide posts are provided, and the two guide posts are respectively located on both sides of the piston rod of the cylinder.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the two guide pillars can simultaneously guide the movement of the tension plate, further improving the stability of the tension plate's movement.

[0023] Furthermore, the foot stretching mechanism also includes a guide sleeve, which is disposed on the stretching plate, and the guide post passes through the interior of the guide sleeve, and the guide sleeve slides along the axial direction of the guide post.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of the piston rod of the cylinder driving the stretching plate to move along the length of the mattress body, the stretching plate drives the guide sleeve to slide along the guide post. The setting of the guide sleeve avoids friction between the stretching plate and the guide post, thereby ensuring the strength of the stretching plate.

[0025] Furthermore, the mattress body is equipped with a hand controller for controlling the operation of the cylinder.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the user can operate the cylinder independently to control the pulling force on the human body while lying supine, so that the pulling force of the cylinder can be increased or decreased within the range that the human body can bear.

[0027] Furthermore, the mattress body is equipped with an emergency stop button for controlling the operation of the cylinder, and the emergency stop button is located within the user's hand operating range.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, users can operate the emergency stop button by hand during supine use, depending on the stretching situation, so that the cylinder can stop working quickly, release the air pressure in the cylinder, restore the equipment to its initial state, and eliminate safety hazards.

[0029] Furthermore, the mattress body is equipped with an electric heating plate.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, the heating plate on the mattress body can perform the heating function, thereby achieving the effect of warm muscle stretching therapy.

[0031] Furthermore, the mattress body is tilted, and the height of the foot of the bed is higher than the height of the head of the bed.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the user's feet are raised above the head, so that blood can flow back and promote the flow and circulation of qi and blood.

[0033] In summary, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the above technical solution are:

[0034] (1) The piston rod of the cylinder extends and retracts, driving the stretching plate to move along the length of the mattress body. When the piston rod of the cylinder drives the stretching plate to move towards the end of the bed, by controlling the running time of the cylinder, the user's legs and feet are subjected to controllable tension. The legs and feet transmit the force to the spine, up to the cervical spine, so that the spine and legs and feet are subjected to tension, achieving the effects of stretching, relaxing muscles and stretching the spine, achieving the effects of muscle revitalization, increasing flexibility, stretching spinal therapy and strengthening the body. Moreover, the general public can use it at home, which is convenient to operate and reduces the treatment cost of patients seeking medical treatment.

[0035] (2) By setting up a receiving groove and a guide groove, the piston rod of the cylinder drives the stretching plate to move along the length of the mattress body. The stretching plate moves along the mattress body through the receiving groove, and the two sides of the stretching plate move along the two guide grooves respectively, so that the mattress body does not interfere with the movement of the stretching plate.

[0036] (3) By ensuring that the stretching plate does not come into contact with the mattress body, friction between the stretching plate and the mattress body is avoided, which would affect the stability of the stretching plate's movement.

[0037] (4) By setting guide posts and guide plates, the piston rod of the cylinder drives the stretching plate to move along the length of the mattress body. During this process, the stretching plate moves linearly along the guide post between the two guide plates, which realizes the guiding role of the guide post on the movement of the stretching plate and makes the movement of the stretching plate more stable.

[0047] The head elastic strap 4 is fixedly provided with a positioning end cap 10 that fits the user's chin. The positioning end cap 10 is used to fix the head elastic strap 4 to the user's chin. The positioning end cap 10 can limit the position of the head elastic strap 4, fix the head elastic strap 4 to the user's chin, prevent the head elastic strap 4 from slipping down to the neck, and eliminate safety hazards.

[0048] It should be noted that this utility model does not specifically limit the structure of the positioning end cap 10. The positioning end cap 10 can limit the position of the head elastic fixing strap 4, and fix the head elastic fixing strap 4 to the user's chin.

[0049] Reference Figures 1-3 The stretching plate 3 is sleeved on the mattress body 1 and extends to the bottom of the mattress body 1. The part of the stretching plate 3 extending to the bottom of the mattress body 1 is connected to the foot stretching mechanism 7 so as to realize the driving of the stretching plate 3 by the foot stretching mechanism 7.

[0050] Reference Figures 1-3 The stretching plate 3 has a receiving groove 31 for accommodating the mattress body 1. The mattress body 1 has two guide grooves 13, both of which are strip-shaped and are arranged along the length of the mattress body 1. The stretching plate 3 is movably fitted onto the mattress body 1 between the two guide grooves 13 via the receiving groove 31. During the movement of the stretching plate 3 along the length of the mattress body 1 driven by the foot stretching mechanism 7, the stretching plate 3 moves along the mattress body 1 via the receiving groove 31, and both sides of the stretching plate 3 move along the two guide grooves 13 respectively, so that the mattress body 1 does not interfere with the movement of the stretching plate 3.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The foot stretching mechanism 7 includes a cylinder 71. The cylinder seat 711 of the cylinder 71 is connected to the mattress body 1 and located near the head end 11. The piston rod 712 of the cylinder 71 is connected to the stretching plate 3 and located near the foot end 12. When the piston rod 712 of the cylinder 71 extends, it drives the stretching plate 3 to move towards the foot end 12, generating a stretching force on the user's legs and feet, achieving the effect of stretching and spinal therapy. Furthermore, the piston rod 712 of the cylinder 71 and the stretching plate 3 are connected by a bolt structure to achieve a detachable connection, facilitating the maintenance of the cylinder 71.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The foot extension mechanism 7 further includes guide posts 72 and two guide plates 73. The two guide plates 73 are located on both sides of the extension plate 3, and both guide plates 73 are fixedly connected to the mattress body 1 and are parallel to the extension plate 3.

The guide post 72 passes through the tension plate 3, and its two ends are connected to two guide plates 73 respectively. During the movement of the tension plate 3 along the length of the mattress body 1 driven by the piston rod 712 of the cylinder 71, the tension plate 3 moves linearly along the guide post 72. This guide post 72 guides the movement of the tension plate 3, making the movement of the tension plate 3 more stable.

[0054] Furthermore, the end of the guide post 72 is connected to the guide plate 73 by a bolt structure to achieve a detachable connection between the guide post 72 and the guide plate 73, making it easy to replace the guide post 72.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Two guide posts 72 are provided, and the two guide posts 72 are respectively located on both sides of the piston rod 712 of the cylinder 71, so that the two guide posts 72 can simultaneously guide the movement of the stretching plate 3, further improving the stability of the movement of the stretching plate 3.

[0056] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The foot stretching mechanism 7 also includes a guide sleeve 74, which is fixed on the stretching plate 3. The guide post 72 passes through the inside of the guide sleeve 74. During the process of the piston rod 712 of the cylinder 71 driving the stretching plate 3 to move along the length direction of the mattress body 1, the stretching plate 3 drives the guide sleeve 74 to slide along the axial direction of the guide post 72. The guide sleeve 74 can prevent the stretching plate 3 from rubbing against the guide post 72, thereby ensuring the strength of the stretching plate 3.

[0057] Reference Figures 1-3 The height of the receiving groove 31 is greater than the thickness of the mattress body 1, and the width of the two guide grooves 13 is greater than the width of the two sides of the stretch plate 3 after the receiving groove 31 is opened. When the stretch plate 3 is sleeved on the mattress body 1, under the support of the piston rod 712, guide post 72 and guide plate 73 of the cylinder 71, the stretch plate 3 and the mattress body 1 do not contact each other, so as to avoid friction between the stretch plate 3 and the mattress body 1 and affect the stability of the movement of the stretch plate 3.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mattress body 1 is provided with four support legs 6 at the bottom corners to raise the height of the mattress body 1 and to install the foot extension mechanism 7 at the bottom of the mattress body 1.
