Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of neck support technology, and in particular to an electric cervical spine massager. Background Technology

[0002] A neck brace is an assistive device used for neck support and protection, typically designed to limit excessive neck movement to promote cervical spine recovery or reduce further injury. Neck braces are widely used in the treatment and rehabilitation of various neck conditions or injuries, such as cervical fractures, cervical dislocations, cervical spondylosis (e.g., herniated discs, spinal stenosis), neck muscle strains, or sprains. Neck braces come in a variety of materials and designs to suit different patients' needs and comfort levels. Common materials include plastic, foam, soft materials (such as memory foam), and adjustable rigid materials. In terms of design, some neck braces have a simple ring or U-shaped design to provide basic neck support; others have adjustable components such as height and tightness to better adapt to the patient's neck shape and size.

[0003] Currently, height-adjustable neck braces typically use an air pump or motor to drive a rack and pinion mechanism for height adjustment. This type of neck brace generates significant noise during adjustment, resulting in a very poor user experience. Furthermore, current neck braces lack a heating function, failing to meet a wider range of needs. Therefore, it is necessary to improve current neck braces. Utility Model Content

[0054] The usage method of this embodiment is described in detail below:

[0055] In use, the two second adhesive pieces 75 are respectively bonded to the two first adhesive pieces 21, so that the product is worn and fixed around the neck. The pulse and heat therapy component 70 fits against the cervical spine, and the movable bracket 12 supports the chin. When the support height needs to be adjusted, the corresponding control button 31 is operated, and the control board 30 controls the lifting device 40. The reduction motor 42 is started, and the reduction motor 42 drives the drive gear 44 to rotate forward or backward, so that the driven gear 46 rotates forward or backward. The nut 45 rotates with the driven gear 46, causing the screw 43 to rise or fall. The movable bracket 12 rises or falls with the screw 43, thereby realizing the adjustment of the support height. When cervical spine heat therapy is needed, the first conductive button 64 and the second conductive button 71 are fastened together to connect and conduct electricity. Then, the corresponding control button 31 is operated to make the pulse and heat therapy component 70 work. The heat generated by the heating pad 73 is transferred to the cervical spine to achieve heat therapy for the cervical spine, while the pulse current generated by the pulse electrode 74 performs pulse massage on the cervical spine. The pulse massage mode can be switched by controlling the corresponding control button 31, including kneading mode, tapping mode, squeezing mode and acupressure mode.
