Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cervical spine rehabilitation technology, specifically to an adjustable cervical spine stretching traction device. Background Technology

[0002] Cervical traction devices are medical devices used to treat cervical spondylosis and related diseases, with a history dating back to the early 20th century. Traditional weighted pulley traction methods have been widely used since the 1960s, but they have many limitations, including limited reduction effectiveness and patient safety concerns. In the 1980s, researchers conducted experimental studies on the effects of force, angle, time, and intermittent traction methods in cervical traction, providing valuable references for the clinical application of cervical traction techniques. Since the 21st century, new traction devices have emerged, such as a novel traction device developed by the University of Utah that features robotic actuator load or position control and real-time force sensing; preliminary biomechanical testing results have demonstrated its safety and effectiveness.

[0003] Cervical traction is a widely accepted technique for treating cervical spondylosis, effectively relieving symptoms and reducing patient suffering. It is suitable for radicular cervical spondylosis, cervical type cervical spondylosis, milder cases of vertebral artery type cervical spondylosis, and sympathetic nerve type cervical spondylosis. Cervical traction is often used in combination with other treatments, such as acupuncture, exercise therapy, and traditional Chinese bone-setting techniques, to enhance therapeutic effects.

[0004] Current cervical spine exercise and stretching techniques still have some shortcomings. When conducting cervical spine rehabilitation training, the rehabilitation effect needs to be improved. It is difficult to maintain an appropriate force to stretch the user's cervical spine, which can easily lead to cervical spine strain. It is also difficult to effectively protect the cervical spine during traction. Furthermore, it is impossible to monitor the stretching distance and the magnitude of the stretching force in real time during the stretching process, which makes it impossible to achieve continuous traction according to the fixed position control recommended by the rehabilitation therapist, resulting in poor treatment effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art mentioned above, the purpose of this utility model is to generate traction on the cervical spine during the process of lifting the chin, which can provide different training intensities for the cervical spine, maintain appropriate force to stretch the cervical spine of the user, improve the cervical spine training and rehabilitation effect, effectively protect the cervical spine during traction, and can detect the stretching distance and the magnitude of the pulling force in real time, and achieve continuous traction according to the fixed position control recommended by the rehabilitation therapist, thereby improving the treatment effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An adjustable cervical spine stretching traction device includes a seat cushion, multiple supports fixed at the bottom corner of the seat cushion, a backrest provided on one side of the seat cushion, a cervical spine stretching mechanism provided at the top of the backrest, and a control mechanism provided on the back of the backrest.

[0008] The cervical spine stretching mechanism includes an extension frame fixed to the middle of the top of the backrest. The extension frame has a groove on the side facing the backrest. A limit frame is fixed to one side of the top of the extension frame. A first U-shaped mounting platform is fixed to one side of the extension frame. A first fixed pulley is rotatably arranged in the first U-shaped mounting platform. A second U-shaped mounting platform is fixed on the limit frame away from the extension frame. A second fixed pulley is rotatably arranged in the second U-shaped mounting platform. A cable is arranged between the first fixed pulley and the second fixed pulley. One end of the cable is connected to a control mechanism, and the other end of the cable is connected to the cervical spine support.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the control mechanism includes a guide rail disposed in the middle of the backrest, a slider slidably disposed on the guide rail, a sensor mounting plate mounted on the slider, a tension sensor mounted on the sensor mounting plate, one end of the cable connected to the tension sensor, a pneumatic muscle disposed at the bottom of the sensor mounting plate, a mounting plate disposed on the back of the backrest, and a power supply, a pneumatic control valve group, an analog transmitter and a signal transmission module disposed sequentially on the mounting plate.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, limit blocks are provided at both ends of the guide rail.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this invention, a displacement sensor is provided on the back of the backrest.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, each of the plurality of brackets is connected to a fixing member, and each of the fixing members is provided with a corner piece at the point where it fits against the bracket, and each of the plurality of brackets is provided with a fixing foot at the bottom.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a support member is connected at the angle between the extension frame and the limiting frame.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a sponge pad is provided on the right end of the seat cushion and the backrest, and the seat cushion and the backrest are positioned at a 90-degree angle.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the entire bracket is made of aluminum, and the exterior of the bracket is coated with paint.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] (1) When using this device, connect the external control system, turn on the power, and inflate or deflate the pneumatic muscles by starting the control valve group, so that the pneumatic muscles contract or expand. The slider will move up or down on the guide rail, thereby stretching the cable through the tension sensor, driving the cervical spine support to move and lift the user's chin. This will generate traction on the cervical spine during the chin lifting process, providing different training intensities for the cervical spine. Maintaining appropriate force to stretch the cervical spine of the user will improve the cervical spine training and rehabilitation effect and effectively protect the cervical spine during the traction process.

[0018] (2) Furthermore, when cervical traction is applied, displacement sensors and tension sensors can monitor and detect displacement and tension in real time, respectively, and achieve continuous traction by controlling the fixed position recommended by the rehabilitation therapist, thereby improving the treatment effect.

Sponge pads are provided on the seat cushion 10 and the right end of the backrest 15, with the seat cushion 10 and backrest 15 at a 90-degree angle.

[0028] The cervical spine stretching mechanism 200 includes an extension frame 201 fixed at the middle of the top of the backrest 15. The extension frame 201 has a sliding groove 212 on the side facing the backrest 15. A limit frame 211 is fixed on one side of the top of the extension frame 201. A first U-shaped mounting platform 203 is fixed on one side of the extension frame 201. A first fixed pulley 204 is rotatably arranged in the first U-shaped mounting platform 203. A second U-shaped mounting platform 205 is fixed on the limit frame 211 away from the extension frame 201. A second fixed pulley 206 is rotatably arranged in the second U-shaped mounting platform 205. A cable 207 is arranged between the first fixed pulley 204 and the second fixed pulley 206. One end of the cable 207 is connected to the control mechanism, and the other end of the cable 207 is connected to the cervical spine support 202.

[0029] The control mechanism includes a guide rail 31 located in the middle of the back of the backrest 15. Limit blocks 30 are provided at both ends of the guide rail 31. A slider 32 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 31. The limit blocks 30 ensure the safe and accurate movement of the slider 32 on the guide rail 31. A sensor mounting plate 33 is mounted on the slider 32, and a tension sensor 34 is mounted on the sensor mounting plate 33. One end of the cable 207 is connected to the tension sensor 34.
