Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a neck support device for stroke patients. Background Technology

[0002] Stroke is a common acute cerebrovascular disease with high morbidity, disability, and mortality rates. After recovery, patients often experience varying degrees of neurological dysfunction, such as limb paralysis, speech impairment, dysphagia, and abnormal neck muscle control. Following a stroke, patients frequently experience neck instability due to neck muscle weakness, abnormal muscle tone, or nerve damage. This not only affects breathing and swallowing functions but can also lead to cervical spine deformities, pressure sores, and increased psychological burden.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN213723094U provides a nursing neck pillow for stroke patients. It adopts a U-shaped structure design, which is convenient to wear directly on the patient's neck. It can be used when the patient is sitting or walking, and has health care functions such as drug therapy, infrared magnetic therapy and massage. It is suitable for the postoperative physiotherapy and rest of stroke patients and has a good rehabilitation nursing effect.

[0004] However, existing neck support devices generally lack dynamic adjustment capabilities. During the rehabilitation process of stroke patients, neck muscle strength gradually recovers, and fixed support devices cannot adapt to changes in the patient's neck position in real time, which may lead to insufficient support or excessive restriction of movement. In view of this, a neck support device for stroke patients is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a neck support device for stroke patients, solving the problem that most existing neck support devices lack dynamic adjustment capabilities. During the rehabilitation process, the neck muscle strength of stroke patients gradually recovers. Fixed-structure support devices cannot adapt to changes in the patient's neck position in real time, potentially leading to insufficient support or excessive restriction of movement.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a neck support device for stroke patients, comprising:

[0007] Support pad, equipped with curved protective plate;

[0008] The mounting bracket is slidably disposed on the outside of the arc-shaped guard plate, and a connecting bracket is hinged to the mounting bracket, with a bracket provided at the end of the connecting bracket;

[0009] A fixing component, disposed on the mounting bracket, allows for selective locking or unlocking of the mounting bracket's position on the support pad; and

[0010] A locking mechanism is provided on the mounting bracket and connected to the connecting bracket to selectively lock or unlock the position of the connecting bracket.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, an arc-shaped track is provided on the outer side of the arc-shaped guard plate, and a slider is provided on the mounting bracket, the slider being slidably engaged within the arc-shaped track.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the bracket is hinged to the end of the connecting frame.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a first baffle and a second baffle are provided on one side of the bracket, and the first baffle and the second baffle are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the connecting frame.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing component includes:

[0015] A threaded knob, screwed onto the mounting bracket, has a friction plate at its end; and

[0016] A friction track is provided on the support pad, and the friction plate can abut against the friction track.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the locking mechanism includes:

[0018] A ratchet is provided on the connecting frame and located at the hinge with the mounting frame;

[0019] A ratchet block, which is vertically adjustable and mounted on the mounting frame, can engage with the ratchet wheel. An elastic element is provided between the ratchet block and the mounting frame. An inclined track is also provided on the ratchet block.

[0020] The mounting rod is slidably mounted on the mounting frame. One end of the rod has a push plate protruding from the mounting frame, and the other end has a drive column, which is slidably engaged in the inclined track.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] When using this device, the support pad is placed over the patient's neck. The mounting bracket can be slid along one side of the curved guard plate according to the patient's neck discomfort position, and then the position of the mounting bracket is fixed by the fixing component to adjust the support position. Next, depending on the patient's neck position and degree of movement restriction, the connecting bracket is rotated along its hinge point with the mounting bracket to adjust the angle of the support. Finally, the position of the connecting bracket is fixed by the locking mechanism to conform to the patient's head, thus effectively improving the device's applicability, adapting to changes in the patient's neck condition, avoiding insufficient support or excessive restriction of movement, and bringing convenience to the patient's daily life.

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.

[0030] Example:

[0031] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, this utility model provides a neck support device for stroke patients, including a support pad 1, an arc-shaped guard plate 2 on the support pad 1, an arc-shaped track 3 on the outer side of the arc-shaped guard plate 2, and a mounting frame 5. A slider 6 is mounted on the mounting frame 5 and slidably engaged within the arc-shaped track 3. A connecting frame 9 is hinged to the mounting frame 5, and a bracket 10 is provided at the end of the connecting frame 9. A fixing component is provided on the mounting frame 5, which allows selective locking or unlocking of the mounting frame 5 on the support pad 1. The fixing component includes a threaded knob 7 screwed onto the mounting frame 5, a friction plate 8 at the end of the threaded knob 7, and a friction track 4 on the support pad 1, with the friction plate 8 abutting against the friction track 4.

[0032] The device can be used by placing the support pad 1 on the neck and supporting the patient's head and neck through the bracket 10. During use, the slider 6 can slide in the arc track 3. After sliding, the friction plate 8 is made to abut against the friction track 4 by rotating the threaded knob 7, thereby fixing the position of the mounting bracket 5 and fixing the position of the bracket 10. This makes it easy to adjust the support position according to the position of the patient's head.

[0033] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket 10 is hinged to the end of the connecting frame 9. A first baffle 11 and a second baffle 12 are provided on one side of the bracket 10, and the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 12 are located on the upper and lower sides of the connecting frame 9, respectively. The bracket 10 can rotate slightly at the end of the connecting frame 9, thereby better conforming to the patient's head and increasing the comfort of using the device. The rotation of the bracket 10 can be limited by the first baffle 11 and the second baffle 12 to ensure the support effect.

[0034] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting frame 5 is provided with a locking mechanism, which is connected to the connecting frame 9 to selectively lock or unlock the position of the connecting frame 9. The locking mechanism includes a ratchet 13 disposed on the connecting frame 9 and located at the hinge point with the mounting frame 5. A ratchet block 14 is provided on the mounting frame 5 and can be raised and lowered. The ratchet block 14 can engage with the ratchet 13. An elastic element 16 is provided between the ratchet block 14 and the mounting frame 5. An inclined rail 15 is also provided on the ratchet block 14. A mounting rod 17 is provided on the mounting frame 5 and can slide laterally. One end of the mounting rod 17 is provided with a pressing plate 19 protruding from the mounting frame 5, and the other end is provided with a drive column 18, which is slidably engaged in the inclined rail 15.

[0035] Pressing the button 19 causes the mounting rod 17 to slide on the mounting frame 5. During the sliding process, the mounting rod 17 drives the ratchet block 14 to move downward through the cooperation of the drive column 18 and the inclined rail 15, and compresses the elastic element 16 until the ratchet block 14 disengages from the ratchet wheel 13, thus releasing the position lock of the connecting frame 9. Then, the angle of the connecting frame 9 on the mounting frame 5 can be adjusted according to the degree of head displacement of the patient. After the adjustment is completed, releasing the button 19 will control the ratchet block 14 to reset under the action of the elastic element 16, thereby fixing the position of the connecting frame 9 to facilitate the adjustment of the support angle.

[0036] The specific usage and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0037] In use, the support pad 1 is placed over the patient's neck. The mounting bracket 5 can be slid along one side of the curved guard plate 2 to adjust the position of the support, depending on the patient's neck discomfort. The mounting bracket 5 is then fixed in place by a fixing component to adjust the support position. Next, depending on the patient's neck position and degree of movement restriction, the connecting bracket 9 is rotated along its hinge point with the mounting bracket 5 to adjust the angle of the support bracket 10. Finally, the locking mechanism fixes the connecting bracket 9 in place to conform to the patient's head. This effectively improves the device's applicability, adapts to changes in the patient's neck condition, avoids insufficient support or excessive restriction of movement, and brings convenience to the patient's daily life.

[0038] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications or improvements can be made to this utility model, which is obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, all such modifications or improvements made without departing from the spirit of this utility model fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
