[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] With social development, wheelchairs are being used more and more frequently by people with disabilities, improving their daily travel and quality of life. However, most wheelchair cushions on the market lack specific design features, especially for people with disabilities whose pelvic heights are uneven. Traditional cushions cannot provide effective support, leading to poor posture and even increasing the burden on the body. Over time, this can easily cause deformities.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 To alleviate the above-mentioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a deformity correction pad, including a seat cushion body 1. The upper side of the seat cushion body 1 is provided with a first groove 2 and a second groove 3. The second groove 3 is connected to the first groove 2. A first gap is formed between the bottom of the first groove 2 and the upper side of the seat cushion body 1 (that is, the depth of the first groove 2 from the upper side of the seat cushion body 1). A second gap is formed between the second groove 3 and the upper side of the seat cushion body 1 (that is, the depth of the bottom of the second groove 3 from the upper side of the seat cushion body 1). The first gap is smaller than the second gap (that is, the depth of the first groove 2 is smaller than the depth of the second groove 3, and the second groove 3 is located inside the first groove 2).

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first groove 2 is provided with a first soft pad 4, and the upper side of the soft pad is provided with a plurality of strip grooves 41. The gaps formed by the strip grooves 41 can effectively dissipate heat and solve the problem of stuffiness caused by poor ventilation of traditional pads. The second groove 3 is provided with a second soft pad 5, and the first soft pad 4 covers the second soft pad 5. When a person sits on the pad, the ischial tuberosities of the buttocks are located directly above the second soft pad 5. The second soft pad 5 includes a soft outer shell 51, and the soft outer shell 51 is filled with fluid.

[0024] The unique design described above helps improve posture and reduce pressure on the pelvis, thus achieving a corrective function. The first groove 2 and the second groove 3 on the seat cushion body 1 form a trapezoidal structure, with the second groove 3 being deeper than the first groove 2, resulting in stronger load-bearing deformation of the second soft pad 5 within the second groove 3. The first groove 2 contains a soft pad with a striped groove 41, and the second groove 3 contains a soft outer shell 51 filled with fluid. These two are stacked, so that when a person sits on the cushion, their ischial tuberosities fall directly above the second soft pad 5. The fluid-filled second soft pad 5 can adjust according to the weight and changes in the person's posture, providing better support and relieving pressure.

[0025] Because the second cushion 5 is fluid, it can dynamically adjust to the uneven height of the left and right sides of the pelvis in people with disabilities, thus achieving precise support and relief for the pelvis. The working principle is that the fluid cushion, based on changes in the user's posture and weight distribution, gradually adjusts its shape through its own flow and stress, balancing the weight-bearing on both sides. This achieves overall support and adjustment of the pelvis, effectively relieving discomfort and pain caused by uneven pelvic height, and keeping the body in a comfortable and balanced state.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The strip groove 41 includes a first groove 411 and a second groove 412. The first groove 411 is distributed along the length direction of the first pad 4, and the second groove 412 is distributed along the longitudinal direction of the first pad 4. The first groove 411 and the second groove 412 are connected.

[0027] By setting a first groove 411 distributed along the length of the first cushion 4 and a second groove 412 distributed along the longitudinal direction of the first cushion 4, and connecting the two, a well-ventilated gap can be formed when a person sits down, increasing the breathability of the cushion, avoiding stuffiness and moisture accumulation, thereby improving the user's comfort and experience.

[0028] The first cushion 4 is a gel cushion. The thickness of the first cushion 4 is not less than the first gap. The first cushion 4 is made of gel material, which has good elasticity and filling properties, and can accurately conform to the curve of the human body. The thickness of the first cushion 4 is not less than the first gap, that is, the upper side of the first cushion 4 is flush with or protrudes from the upper side of the cushion body 1. When a person sits on the first cushion 4, the upper side of the first cushion 4 forms the same plane as the cushion body 1 or is slightly raised, which can better wrap the curve of the human buttocks and form a small space to support the human buttocks, so that the center of gravity of the buttocks is better supported and supported, reducing the pressure on the pelvis and spine.

[0029] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The seat cushion body 1 has two arc-shaped grooves 6 on its upper side, which communicate with the first groove 2. When a person sits on the cushion, their legs are positioned in the arc-shaped grooves 6. When a person sits on the cushion, their legs can naturally bend and rest within the arc-shaped grooves 6, effectively relieving leg pressure and improving sitting comfort. This allows the seat cushion to provide more body-conforming support and guides the person to maintain correct posture, avoiding pressure and discomfort on the spine, pelvis, and legs caused by prolonged sitting.

[0030] Please see Figure 2A filler 7 is provided in the first groove 2. The filler 7 is located near the side wall of the arc-shaped groove 6. When a person sits on the pad, the arc-shaped groove 6 is located between the legs. The filler 7 can fill the excess space, reduce the waste of the gel pad, and save materials.

[0031] The first groove 411 and the second groove 412 divide the upper side of the first cushion 4 into multiple small blocks, the corners of which are rounded. The rounded transition can transform right angles into smooth curves, avoiding contact between the human body and the hard edge when sitting, reducing pressure and discomfort, and thus improving overall comfort.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
