Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model is a support frame for preventing venous thrombosis, belonging to the field of medical device technology. Background Technology
[0002] Neurological patients often suffer from lower limb dysfunction due to central nervous system damage, requiring prolonged bed rest. Prolonged bed rest can slow venous blood flow and cause blood stasis in the lower limbs, greatly increasing the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). If a thrombus breaks off, it can trigger life-threatening complications such as pulmonary embolism, seriously threatening the patient's life.
[0003] Chinese patent CN213490020U proposes a support frame for preventing venous thrombosis after neurological surgery. A rotating adjustment dial drives a screw to rotate. The screw's threads engage, and bearings share the rotation, causing the support block to rise and fall, thus adjusting the tilt angle of the support plate. However, this support frame requires manual turning of the adjustment dial to adjust the tilt angle, which is inconvenient. Furthermore, relying solely on the support block to tilt the support plate is generally ineffective, easily causing the support plate to wobble and affecting the stability of the patient's lower limbs. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a support frame for preventing venous thrombosis to address these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a support frame for preventing venous thrombosis, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section. This invention adopts a button-controlled electrically driven lifting structure, which enables rapid tilt adjustment of the support plate. Combined with the fitting and limiting of the airbag, elastic band, and Velcro, it can ensure the fit and stability of the patient's lower limbs.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a support frame for preventing venous thrombosis, comprising a support frame base and an adjusting rod. Fixed bearing seats are installed at the front and rear positions of the upper right side of the support frame base. A rotating shaft is installed between the two fixed bearing seats. Two fixing rings are fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft. A support plate is obliquely fixed to the upper left end of the two fixing rings. A sponge groove is adhered to the upper end of the support plate. Strip-shaped airbags are embedded in the front and rear sides of the sponge groove. Elastic bands are fixed to the left and right positions of the front end of the support plate. Velcro hooks are fixed to the left and right positions of the rear end of the support plate. A transmission box is fixed to the left side of the upper end of the support frame base. A servo motor is installed in the middle of the upper end of the transmission box. The shaft end of the servo motor passes through the transmission box and connects to a first bevel gear. The transmission box contains two ball bearings, with a transmission rod running through them. A third bevel gear is mounted at both the front and rear ends of the transmission rod. A strip-shaped shell is fixed to the front and rear sides of the upper end of the transmission box. An adjusting screw is longitudinally mounted within the two strip-shaped shells via bearings. A fourth bevel gear is mounted at the lower end of each of the two adjusting screws. A transmission nut is threaded onto the outside of each adjusting screw. A stroke groove is formed on the outer side of each of the two strip-shaped shells. Two adjusting rods are provided, each passing through one of the two stroke grooves and fixed to one of the two transmission nuts. An adjusting plate is horizontally fixed to the upper end of each of the two adjusting rods. Two sets of small bearing seats are mounted on the front and rear sides of the upper end of the adjusting plate. A one-way wheel is mounted between the two sets of small bearing seats, and both one-way wheels slide in contact with the lower end surface of the support plate.
[0006] Furthermore, both movable ends of the elastic band are sewn with hook and loop fasteners, and the hook and loop fasteners are respectively bonded to the hook and loop fasteners.
[0007] Furthermore, a small air pump is placed on the upper end of the support frame base. The air supply end of the small air pump is connected to two strip-shaped airbags through a pipe. A button is installed on the left side of the front end of the support plate. The small air pump, the button, and the servo motor are connected to an external plug-in board through wires.
[0008] Furthermore, the buttons are divided into a forward switch, a stop switch, and a reverse switch from left to right.
[0009] Furthermore, a second bevel gear is fixed in the middle of the outer side of the transmission rod, and the second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear for transmission.
[0010] Furthermore, the two fourth bevel gears mesh with the two third bevel gears respectively for transmission.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a support frame for preventing venous thrombosis. Because it incorporates a transmission box, servo motor, first bevel gear, transmission rod, second bevel gear, third bevel gear, fourth bevel gear, adjusting screw, transmission nut, adjusting rod, adjusting plate, small bearing seat, and one-way wheel, its structure is reasonable. It adopts a button-controlled electric drive lifting structure, enabling rapid tilt adjustment of the support plate.
