Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of epilepsy prevention, specifically an epileptic seizure prevention device. Background Technology

[0002] Epilepsy is a common neurological disorder. During a seizure, patients often experience loss of consciousness, involuntary head tilting, and limb convulsions, which can easily lead to injuries such as neck strain and head impact. Therefore, special epilepsy seizure protection devices are needed to protect the head and neck, reduce the risk of secondary injury during a seizure, and meet the needs of daily care and emergency protection.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent with publication number "CN220384363U" discloses "a protective device suitable for epileptic seizures, including a helmet and a fixing frame, wherein the bottom of the helmet is provided with a fixing frame... By providing a helmet, fixing frame, positioning plate, fixing strap and buckle, the device achieves the function of limiting the patient's head, preventing the head from tilting to one side, thereby protecting the patient's neck, making it safer to use and improving the use value of the device."

[0004] However, the aforementioned patent uses a fixed frame to connect the helmet and the positioning plate without any cushioning measures. When a patient has an epileptic seizure, the head often tilts frequently and suddenly. The head restraint force is directly transmitted to the shoulder through the fixed frame without any cushioning. The impact of the head twitching during the seizure can easily cause the positioning plate to form a hard squeeze on the shoulder muscles, which can easily cause injury to the patient's shoulder and reduce the comfort of using the device.

[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed a seizure prevention device to address the problems raised in the background art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a device for preventing epileptic seizures.

[0019] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0020] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 As shown: This utility model provides an epileptic seizure protection device, including a helmet 1 and two positioning plates 2 symmetrically distributed below the helmet 1. Buffer components 3 are respectively provided on the bottom sides of the helmet 1 and are connected to the two positioning plates 2 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0021] When a patient has an epileptic seizure, the helmet 1 is placed on the head and the positioning plate 2 is secured to the shoulder. Through the cooperation of the positioning plate 2, the helmet 1, and the buffer component 3, the patient's head can be effectively limited, thereby preventing excessive tilting of the head. The buffer component 3 can also absorb the impact force generated by head twitching, ultimately preventing neck muscle strain or cervical spine injury caused by a large tilt of the head during an epileptic seizure.

[0022] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The positioning plate 2 has a buckle 4 on its rear side and a fixing strap 5 on its front side that works with the buckle 4. The fixing strap 5 is an elastic strap.

[0023] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The bottom of the positioning plate 2 is provided with a positioning groove 6, and the inner wall of the positioning groove 6 and the inner wall of the helmet 1 are both provided with sponge 7.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 The helmet 1 has multiple heat dissipation vents 18 arranged in a circular array.

[0025] When the helmet 1 is put on, the positioning groove 6 on the positioning plate 2 fits the contour of the human shoulder. At this time, the positioning plate 2 can be clipped onto the patient's shoulder. The sponge 7 on the inner wall of the positioning groove 6 can closely fit the shoulder skin, filling the gap between the shoulder and the positioning groove 6, preventing the positioning plate 2 from sliding during a seizure due to poor fit, and also cushioning the pressure of the positioning plate 2 on the shoulder. Then, the elastic fixing strap 5 is wrapped around the patient's chest or armpit and locked with the buckle 4 on the opposite side to prevent the positioning plate 2 from shifting during a seizure. At the same time, the heat dissipation vents 18 distributed in a circumferential array on the helmet 1 can continuously allow air circulation between the head and the outside world during the patient's wearing. Together with the sponge 7 inside the helmet 1, it can effectively relieve the problem of heat and sweating of the head. Even if the patient needs to wear it for a long time, the head can be kept comfortable and dry, improving the durability of the device.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The buffer assembly 3 includes a connecting plate 31 disposed on the upper part of the positioning plate 2. A rotating shaft 32 is rotatably disposed on the connecting plate 31. A sleeve 33 is disposed at one end of the rotating shaft 32. A movable plate 34 is slidably disposed inside the sleeve 33. The upper part of the movable plate 34 extends through the interior of the sleeve 33 and is connected to the bottom of the helmet 1. A slider 35 is slidably disposed inside the sleeve 33. A spring 36 is disposed between the upper part of the slider 35 and the bottom of the movable plate 34.

[0027] refer to Figure 4 A hollow disc 12 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 31 away from the sleeve 33. The rotating shaft 32 extends into the interior of the disc 12 on the side away from the sleeve 33 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the disc 12. An arc-shaped limiting block 13 is provided inside the disc 12. A connecting block 14 that cooperates with the arc-shaped limiting block 13 is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 32.

[0028] When a patient has an epileptic seizure, the head movement is transmitted to the buffer assembly 3 through the helmet 1. This causes the moving plate 34 to deflect synchronously, and the rotating shaft 32 rotates around the connecting plate 31 along with the moving plate 34. Meanwhile, the connecting block 14 inside the disc 12 slides along the range defined by the arc-shaped limiting block 13, preventing the head from tilting excessively beyond the safe angle. This allows for small head movements to release convulsive tension while preventing neck injuries from large head tilts. When the moving plate 34 deflects, it also slides down the inner wall of the sleeve 33 and compresses the spring 36. The spring 36 absorbs the impact force through elastic deformation. This process transforms the rigid impact force that was originally transmitted directly to the shoulder into a flexible buffer force, greatly reducing the pressure damage to the shoulder caused by the positioning plate 2. This prevents pain or bruising in the shoulder due to excessive instantaneous force during a seizure, further improving the protective safety and wearing comfort of the device.

[0029] refer to Figure 3Each of the two sleeves 33 has a sliding opening 8 on the side away from each other. An L-shaped plate 9 is provided on one side of the slider 35. The side of the L-shaped plate 9 away from the slider 35 passes through the sliding opening 8 and is slidably connected to the sliding opening 8. Multiple locking holes 10 are provided at the upper end of the side away from each other of the two sleeves 33. A locking bolt 11 is threaded on the L-shaped plate 9. One end of the locking bolt 11 passes through the L-shaped plate 9 and is inserted into the corresponding locking hole 10.

[0030] When it is necessary to adjust the spacing between the positioning plate 2 and the helmet 1 to accommodate patients with different head-shoulder ratios, the locking bolt 11 on the L-shaped plate 9 can be loosened first, so that one end of it exits from the currently inserted locking port 10, releasing the relative fixed state between the slider 35 and the sleeve 33. At this time, pushing or pulling the L-shaped plate 9 will cause it to slide up and down along the sliding port 8 on the side wall of the sleeve 33, and drive the slider 35 inside the sleeve 33 to move synchronously. When the slider 35 moves, it will push or pull the spring 36 on its upper part, thereby driving the connection with the spring 36. The movable plate 34 slides up and down along the inner wall of the sleeve 33, ultimately adjusting the distance between the helmet 1 and the positioning plate 2. After the distance is adjusted to fit the patient's head and shoulder shape, the sliding L-shaped plate 9 is stopped, the locking bolt 11 is realigned with the corresponding locking hole 10 at the current position and tightened, so that one end of the bolt is inserted into the locking hole 10, and the relative position of the slider 35 and the sleeve 33 is fixed again, thus completing the distance adjustment. This can flexibly adapt to the differences in body shape of different patients, and ensure that the distance is stable after adjustment, avoiding the head restraint effect due to loosening of the distance during an attack.

[0031] refer to Figure 1 The front sides of the two sleeves 33 are provided with a protective rod 15, the bottom of the protective rod 15 is provided with a fixing rope 16, and the bottom of the fixing rope 16 is provided with a dental sleeve 17.

[0032] Before an attack, the dental brace 17 can be gently placed into the patient's mouth. Its soft medical material can avoid scratching the gums and oral mucosa. At the same time, it can prevent the patient from biting their tongue when their teeth are clenched through physical barriers. The fixing rope 16 can prevent the dental brace 17 from falling out of the mouth or being swallowed during convulsions. The length of the fixing rope 16 can be slightly adjusted according to the position of the patient's head and mouth to ensure that the dental brace 17 is always in a proper position in the mouth when worn. This will not affect the patient's normal breathing and can continue to play a role in preventing tongue biting, further improving the device's all-scenario protection function.

[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A temperature sensor 19 is provided on the inner side of the helmet 1, and a display 20 is provided on the outer side of the helmet 1. The display 20 and the temperature sensor 19 are electrically connected.

[0034] The temperature sensor 19 inside the helmet 1 can contact the patient's head skin in real time to accurately monitor the patient's head temperature data. The display 20 on the outside of the helmet 1, which is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 19, can visualize the monitored temperature data in real time, making it convenient for family members, caregivers or medical staff to read intuitively and grasp the patient's body temperature without removing the helmet 1.

[0035] Working principle: When a patient has an epileptic seizure, the helmet 1 is worn on the patient's head, so that the positioning groove 6 at the bottom of the positioning plate 2 is locked in the shoulder. The elastic fixing strap 5 is wrapped around the patient's chest or armpit and locked in place with the buckle 4 on the opposite side to limit the positioning plate 2. Before the seizure, the mouthguard 17 can be gently placed in the patient's mouth to ensure that it does not affect breathing and can prevent tongue biting. The patient's head movement is transmitted to the buffer component 3 through the helmet 1. The head movement will cause the moving plate 34 to deflect, so that the rotating shaft 32 rotates around the connecting plate 31. The connecting block 14 in the disc 12 slides along the arc-shaped limiting block 13 within a limited range to prevent the head from tilting too much and pulling the neck. At the same time, the impact force of the head in the vertical direction will cause the moving plate 34 to slide along the sleeve 33 and squeeze the spring 36. The spring 36 transforms the rigid impact force into a flexible buffer force through elastic deformation, reducing shoulder compression injury. It can comprehensively limit the head, protect the neck and prevent tongue biting for patients with epileptic seizures.

[0036] Meanwhile, for different patients, the locking bolt 11 can be loosened first, and then the L-shaped plate 9 can be pushed to slide along the sliding port 8 of the sleeve 33, causing the slider 35 and the spring 36 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the length of the moving plate 34 extending out of the sleeve 33. After the distance between the helmet 1 and the positioning plate 2 is matched, the locking bolt 11 can be screwed into the corresponding locking port 10 to fix it, so that the helmet 1 and the positioning plate 2 can be adapted to different patients for use.
