Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a device for measuring cervical spine data in a head-down posture. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the information society and the widespread use of electronic devices such as smartphones, young people frequently use these devices for study, work, and entertainment, and commonly maintain a poor posture habit of prolonged head-down posture. This has led to a significant increase in the incidence of neck muscle injuries among young people. Prolonged head-down posture significantly increases the load on the neck, and continuous abnormal stress can easily lead to neck muscle strain, which in turn can induce neck tissue degeneration, potentially developing into cervical spondylosis, seriously affecting the physical health and quality of life of young people.

[0003] Currently, there is a lack of a dedicated device for measuring cervical spine data in the head-down posture, making it difficult to accurately quantify and monitor head-down posture data in young people. This results in a lack of effective data collection methods when studying the correlation between prolonged head-down posture and the physiological state and functional characteristics of the posterior neck muscles, and also hinders the provision of comprehensive and accurate data support for the early prediction, precise intervention, and personalized development of active functional exercise programs for neck diseases.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a device for measuring cervical spine data in a head-down posture to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a device for measuring cervical spine data in a head-down posture, which can accurately measure the cervical spine data of the user in a head-down posture.

[0006] This utility model embodiment provides a cervical spine data measurement device under head-down posture, including a first sliding scale, a second sliding scale, and a head limiting component. The first sliding scale includes a first sliding component and a first sliding main scale, and the second sliding scale includes a second sliding component and a second sliding main scale.

[0007] The first sliding component is connected to the head limiting component, the first sliding main scale is connected to the second sliding component, and the first sliding scale and the second sliding scale are arranged in a vertically orthogonal spatial layout.

[0008] When a user changes from an upright posture to a head-down posture, the first sliding component can move laterally along the slide rail of the first sliding main scale to measure the user's lateral cervical spine data from the upright posture to the head-down posture using the first sliding main scale; the second sliding component can move longitudinally along the slide rail of the second sliding main scale to measure the user's longitudinal cervical spine data from the upright posture to the head-down posture using the second sliding main scale.

[0009] The head-limiting component is used to restrict the rotation of the user's head.

[0010] In one possible design, the head-limiting component includes two limiting rods that are attached to the user's ears.

[0011] In one possible design, each of the limiting rods includes two parallel limiting tabs that form a groove for clamping the user's ear.

[0012] One possible design also includes a seat cushion and a support plate;

[0013] Both the seat cushion and the second sliding ruler are mounted on the support plate.

[0014] In one possible design, the cushion is made of cloth or rubber.

[0015] In one possible design, the support plate is made of metal.

[0016] In one possible design, the second sliding main scale is provided with a reset button, which is used to reset the reading of the second sliding main scale to zero.

[0017] In one possible design, the first sliding component is connected to the head limiting component by a first fixing bolt, and the first sliding main scale is connected to the second sliding component by a second fixing bolt.

[0018] This utility model provides a device for measuring cervical spine data in a head-down posture. The device includes a first sliding scale 1, a second sliding scale 2, and a head-limiting component 3. The head-limiting component 3 and the first sliding component 11 are securely connected to ensure the accuracy of the measurement reference. The first sliding main scale 12 is nested within the second sliding component 21. The first sliding scale 1 and the second sliding scale 2 are arranged in a perpendicular and orthogonal spatial layout, forming a two-dimensional measurement coordinate system. When the user changes from an upright posture to a head-down posture, the first sliding component 11 undergoes lateral displacement along the slide rail. The linear change in its position from the initial position to the measurement end position reflects the cervical spine's lateral movement data. Simultaneously, the second sliding component 21 undergoes longitudinal displacement. The change in distance between its initial position and the measurement end position obtains the cervical spine's vertical movement parameters. Through this dual-scale orthogonal collaborative measurement mechanism, the dynamic data changes of the cervical spine during the head-down movement can be captured comprehensively and with high precision. The head-limiting component 3 effectively restricts the left-right rotation and pitch deviation of the head, providing a stable reference for cervical spine data measurement and avoiding measurement errors caused by unexpected head movements. This ensures the accuracy and reliability of the data acquired by the first sliding scale 1 and the second sliding scale 2. This application can accurately and efficiently complete the comprehensive measurement of cervical spine data in the user's head-down posture, providing reliable data support for subsequent medical diagnosis, rehabilitation assessment, and other work.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a cervical spine data measurement device under head-down posture. The device includes a first sliding scale 1, a second sliding scale 2 and a head limiting component 3. The first sliding scale 1 includes a first sliding component 11 and a first sliding main scale 12. The second sliding scale 2 includes a second sliding component 21 and a second sliding main scale 22.

[0035] The first sliding component 11 is connected to the head limiting component 3, the first sliding main scale 12 is connected to the second sliding component 21, and the first sliding scale 1 and the second sliding scale 2 are arranged in a vertically orthogonal spatial layout.

[0036] When a user changes from an upright posture to a head-down posture, the first sliding component 11 can move laterally along the slide rail of the first sliding main scale 12 to measure the user's lateral cervical spine data from the upright posture to the head-down posture using the first sliding main scale 12; the second sliding component 21 can move longitudinally along the slide rail of the second sliding main scale 22 to measure the user's longitudinal cervical spine data from the upright posture to the head-down posture using the second sliding main scale 22.

[0037] The head limiting component 3 is used to limit the rotation of the user's head.

[0038] In this embodiment, the measuring device includes a first sliding scale 1, a second sliding scale 2, and a head-limiting component 3. The head-limiting component 3 and the first sliding component 11 are securely connected to ensure the accuracy of the measurement reference. The first sliding main scale 12 is nested with the second sliding component 21. The first sliding scale 1 and the second sliding scale 2 are arranged in a perpendicular and orthogonal spatial layout, forming a two-dimensional measurement coordinate system. When the user changes from an upright posture to a head-down posture, the first sliding component 11 will generate lateral displacement along the slide rail. Its linear change from the initial position to the measurement end position can reflect the cervical spine's activity data in the lateral direction. At the same time, the second sliding component 21 will generate longitudinal displacement. The change in distance between its initial position and the measurement end position can obtain the cervical spine's activity parameters in the vertical direction. Through this dual-scale orthogonal collaborative measurement mechanism, the dynamic data changes of the cervical spine during the head-down movement can be captured comprehensively and with high precision. The head-limiting component 3 effectively restricts the left-right rotation and pitch deviation of the head, providing a stable reference for cervical spine data measurement and avoiding measurement errors caused by unexpected head movements. This ensures the accuracy and reliability of the data acquired by the first sliding scale 1 and the second sliding scale 2. This application can accurately and efficiently complete the comprehensive measurement of cervical spine data in the user's head-down posture, providing reliable data support for subsequent medical diagnosis, rehabilitation assessment, and other work.

[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, the head limiting component 3 includes two limiting rods 31, which are attached to the user's ears.

[0040] In this embodiment, the head limiting component 3 adopts a double-rod structure design, including two limiting rods 31 whose shapes are adapted to the contours of the human head. When the user is taking measurements, these two limiting rods 31 can effectively limit the left and right rotation and pitch deviation of the head through precise positioning and fitting.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, each limiting rod 31 includes two mutually parallel limiting pieces, which form a groove for clamping the user's ear.

[0042] In this embodiment, each limiting rod 31 is composed of two parallel limiting plates, which are precisely positioned to form a groove structure that can comfortably and securely clamp the user's ear. This unique groove design not only effectively fixes the measurement position and ensures the stability of the device during measurement, but also minimizes measurement errors caused by shaking or offset, thereby significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement data.

[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, it further includes a seat cushion 5 and a support plate 4; the seat cushion 5 and the second sliding scale 2 are both disposed on the support plate 4.

[0044] In this embodiment, the measuring device further optimizes its overall structure by adding two major components: a seat cushion 5 and a support plate 4. The support plate 4, as the core load-bearing component, provides a stable support foundation for the entire measuring device. The seat cushion 5 and the second sliding scale 2 are arranged in an orderly manner on the support plate 4, forming a functionally integrated measuring platform. The seat cushion 5 is designed with human comfort in mind, ensuring that the user maintains a stable sitting posture during measurement. The second sliding scale 2 is precisely positioned and installed, tightly integrated with the support plate 4. The two work together to ensure the overall stability of the device during measurement and provide the user with a comfortable and convenient measuring environment.

[0045] In one embodiment of this utility model, the seat cushion 5 is made of cloth or rubber.

[0046] In this embodiment, the material selection for the seat cushion 5 balances comfort and practicality, and can be made of cloth or rubber. If cloth is used, its soft texture and good breathability can provide users with a gentle and skin-friendly sitting experience, effectively alleviating discomfort during long-term measurement. When rubber is used, the seat cushion 5 has good wear resistance, anti-slip properties, and durability, which not only allows it to fit firmly against the support plate 4, but also adapts to various usage scenarios, meeting the needs and preferences of different users.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, the support plate 4 is made of metal.

[0048] In this embodiment, the support plate 4 is made of metal, which, with its high strength and rigidity, provides a solid and stable foundation for the entire measuring device. The metal support plate 4 can withstand the pressure from the user's sitting posture and the external forces generated during measurement, ensuring that the device does not deform or shake during use and guaranteeing the accuracy of the measurement data. At the same time, the excellent corrosion resistance and durability of metal also make the support plate 4 less prone to damage during long-term use, significantly improving the overall service life and reliability of the measuring device.

[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, a reset button 23 is provided on the second sliding main scale 22, and the reset button 23 is used to reset the reading of the second sliding main scale 22 to zero.

[0050] In this embodiment, a user-friendly reset button 23 is integrated into the surface of the second sliding scale 22. This reset button 23 employs a highly sensitive touch structure, allowing the user to instantly reset the reading of the second sliding scale 2 by simply pressing it. This design not only simplifies the preparation process before measurement and avoids reading errors caused by residual data, but also significantly improves the convenience and efficiency of continuous measurement operations, ensuring that each longitudinal cervical spine measurement starts from a precise zero point, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent data acquisition and analysis.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first sliding component 11 is connected to the head limiting component 3 by the first fixing bolt, and the first sliding main ruler 12 is connected to the second sliding component 21 by the second fixing bolt.

[0052] In this embodiment, the measuring device employs a double-bolt fastening connection scheme to achieve stable assembly between components. The first sliding component 11 and the head limiting component 3 are rigidly connected by a high-strength first fixing bolt. This bolt features a precise thread fit and anti-loosening design, ensuring that the two maintain a stable relative position during measurement and effectively preventing displacement deviations caused by external forces. Simultaneously, the first sliding main scale 12 and the second sliding component 21 are precisely aligned and fixed by the second fixing bolt. The tightening force of the second fixing bolt is precisely adjusted to ensure a reliable connection between the main scale and the sliding component, while also facilitating flexible disassembly and position adjustment according to actual measurement needs. This provides a connection guarantee for the entire measuring device that combines stability and flexibility.
