Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically a shoulder support bracket. Background Technology

[0002] The shoulder, as the foundation of upper limb movement, can generally be divided into three areas: the axillary region, the deltoid region, and the scapular region. Because the shoulder is one of the most mobile parts of the body, it is in constant motion. For example, everyday actions such as lifting and carrying objects rely heavily on it, making it quite important for the body. Therefore, it's essential to protect it in daily life, maintain correct posture, and avoid injuries such as impacts and compression. If the shoulder is injured, a shoulder brace is usually needed to maintain and accelerate its recovery. Sometimes, patients with various shoulder joint conditions, especially those with rheumatoid arthritis or cervical spondylosis, also require a shoulder brace to protect their joints.

[0003] Currently, most common shoulder braces on the market use shoulder supports to ensure stability during use. However, most ordinary shoulder supports are fixed structures and cannot be adjusted as needed, making them unsuitable for patients with different shoulder lengths. Although some existing products can be adjusted using pistons or similar devices, the cost is still relatively high and the adjustment process is cumbersome.

[0004] Therefore, the existing technical solutions mentioned above have the following drawbacks: most existing shoulder support products can be adjusted using pistons or other products to accommodate patients with different shoulder lengths, but the cost is relatively high and the adjustment is cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a shoulder support bracket to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Most existing shoulder support products are adjusted by pistons or the like to accommodate patients with different shoulder lengths, but they are costly and the adjustment is relatively troublesome.

[0006] This utility model embodiment is implemented as follows: a shoulder support bracket includes a first fixing plate and a second fixing plate, and the shoulder support bracket further includes:

[0007] An adjustment component is disposed between the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate, and is used to adjust the distance between the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate, as well as the included angle formed between the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate.

[0008] In this embodiment of the utility model, the shoulder support bracket is designed with a ball head structure, which can not only be adjusted up and down, but also adjusted horizontally and left and right, allowing the patient to adjust to the optimal angle. It can also be quickly locked and operated with one hand, effectively reducing costs.

[0009] Preferably, the adjusting component includes a screw groove disposed on the first fixed plate, and a steering ball head is disposed at one end of the screw groove near the second fixed plate.

[0010] Preferably, the screw groove and the first fixing plate are detachably connected by a fastener.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the shoulder support bracket provided in this embodiment includes a first fixing plate, a second fixing plate, and an adjustment component. This device, by using the adjustment component, can not only be adjusted vertically but also horizontally, allowing the patient to adjust to the optimal angle and quickly lock it in place. Unlike some existing products that rely on pistons for adjustment, this device solves the problem of high cost and cumbersome adjustment associated with most existing shoulder support products that use pistons to accommodate patients with different shoulder lengths. This improves the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0022] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0023] like Figure 1-5 The diagram shown is a structural diagram of a shoulder support bracket according to an embodiment of the present invention. The shoulder support bracket includes a first fixing plate 1 and a second fixing plate 2. Both the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 can be connected to an external shoulder support, thereby forming a product with a supporting function. This ensures stability while guaranteeing the normal use of the shoulder support. In addition, the shoulder support bracket also includes:

[0024] Adjustment component 3 is disposed between the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2, and is used to adjust the distance between the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2, as well as the included angle formed between the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2.

[0025] In this embodiment of the invention, specifically, by using the adjustment component 3, a shoulder support bracket including a first fixing plate 1, a second fixing plate 2, and the adjustment component 3 can be constructed. This bracket is used to adjust the distance between the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2, as well as the angle formed between them. That is, it can not only be adjusted vertically, but also horizontally, allowing the patient to adjust to the optimal angle and quickly lock it in place. Unlike some existing products that use pistons or similar devices for adjustment, this invention solves the problem that most existing shoulder support products rely on pistons for adjustment to accommodate patients with different shoulder lengths, but this method is costly and cumbersome to adjust.

[0026] It should be noted that most existing shoulder brace products can be adjusted using structures such as piston rods to accommodate patients with different shoulder lengths. However, existing products usually only allow for vertical adjustment and are then fixed with screws, which is relatively cumbersome. In this embodiment of the invention, the shoulder brace is designed with a ball-head structure, which allows for not only vertical adjustment but also horizontal adjustment, enabling the patient to adjust to the optimal angle. It can also be quickly locked and operated with one hand, making it a suitable shoulder brace product to reduce joint load and effectively lower costs.

[0027] In one embodiment of this utility model, the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 can both be support bandage fixing plates in actual applications. That is, they adopt a plate-like structure as the main body and are connected to the external shoulder pad through a bandage, thereby forming a product with a supporting function, ensuring stability while ensuring the normal use of the shoulder pad.

[0028] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjusting component 3 includes a screw groove 4 disposed on the first fixing plate 1, and a steering ball head 5 is disposed at one end of the screw groove 4 near the second fixing plate 2.

[0029] In this embodiment of the utility model, specifically, the distance between the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 can be adjusted by using the screw groove 4, and the included angle formed between the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 can be adjusted by using the steering ball head 5. This solves the problem that most existing shoulder brace products are adjusted by pistons or the like to accommodate patients with different shoulder lengths, but this is costly and troublesome to adjust.

[0030] In another embodiment of this utility model, a conventional hinge structure can also be used as the adjustment component 3. The first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 are locked by the use of bolts and nuts. When it is necessary to adjust the angle between the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2, the bolts and nuts can be loosened to achieve the adjustment. However, compared with the adjustment component 3 based on the steering ball head 5 of this utility model, the effect is simpler. The shoulder support bracket of this utility model can not only be adjusted up and down, but also adjusted horizontally by the steering ball head 5, so that the patient can adjust to the optimal angle and can be quickly locked. It can be operated with one hand.

[0031] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the screw groove 4 and the first fixing plate 1 are detachably connected by a fixing member 6. Specifically, the fixing member 6 can be used to fix screws or nuts, or it can be a combination of bolts and nuts, or it can be a locking bolt structure. The specific choice depends on actual needs and is not limited here.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, it is generally preferred to connect one end of the fixing screw to the first fixing plate 1, and the other end passes through the screw groove 4 and can be threaded to the fixing nut, so that the row spacing between the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 can be adjusted to accommodate patients with different shoulder lengths.

[0033] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the second fixing plate 2 is provided with a brake block 7 for mounting the steering ball head 5.

[0034] In this embodiment of the utility model, the steering ball head 5 is typically locked in the limiting groove formed by the brake block 7, which enables the steering ball head 5 to rotate, thereby flexibly adjusting the included angle between the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2.

[0035] In one embodiment of this utility model, the specific structural form of the brake block 7 is not limited. For example, the brake block 7 can be U-shaped, rectangular, triangular, L-shaped, or even hemispherical, as long as a groove for the steering ball head 5 is provided on one side. Adaptive adjustments can be made according to the installation environment. Here, the preferred shape is as follows. Figure 1 The structure shown.

[0036] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the brake block 7 is also provided with a movable part 8 for locking the steering ball joint 5.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, typically, by moving the movable member 8, the steering ball joint 5 can be rotated to adjust the angle and then fixed between the steering ball joint 5 and the brake block 7, thereby achieving locking. Of course, the movable member 8 can also be a piston rod, which moves closer to or further away from the steering ball joint 5 through simple piston action, thereby achieving locking or unlocking of the steering ball joint 5.

[0038] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting member 9 is provided on the outer side of the brake block 7, and a locking member 10 is provided on the limiting member 9. Specifically, the locking member 10 can be a pull rod buckle, or it can be a bolt structure. If a pull rod buckle is used, by connecting the limiting member 9 to the movable member 8, the movement of the movable member 8 can be driven by the rotation of the locking member 10. Then, after the steering ball head 5 is rotated to adjust the angle, the steering ball head 5 and the brake block 7 can be fixed, thereby achieving locking.

[0039] Of course, in practical applications, the limiting member 9 can also be disconnected from the moving member 8, and the locking or unlocking of the steering ball joint 5 can be achieved solely through the rotation of the limiting member 9. For example, specifically... Figure 3 As shown, the limiting member 9 is divided into upper and lower surfaces, one side is raised and the other side is flat. When the locking member 10 rotates and drives the limiting member 9 to rotate, when the raised side faces the steering ball head 5, the raised side of the limiting member 9 can contact the steering ball head 5, thereby achieving locking. When the flat side faces the steering ball head 5, it does not contact the steering ball head 5, thereby achieving the release effect.

[0040] In one embodiment of this utility model, the side corresponding to the steering ball head 5 can also be flat, which makes it easier for the lever buckle to be pressed tightly and prevents it from loosening.

[0041] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the shoulder support provided by this utility model is specifically a support with a ball-head structure. In the prior art, common shoulder support products usually use shoulder support brackets to provide support in order to ensure stability during use. However, most ordinary shoulder support brackets are fixed structures and cannot be adjusted as needed, thus failing to accommodate patients with different shoulder lengths. Although some existing products can be adjusted using pistons, pistons are relatively expensive and cumbersome to adjust. The shoulder support bracket uses an adjustment component 3. By loosening the latch of the pull rod buckle, the steering ball head 5 can be rotated to adjust the appropriate angle. Then, the latch is tightened, and the braking block 7 locks the steering ball head 5 for fixation. At the same time, the row spacing between the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2 can be adjusted using fixing screws to accommodate patients with different shoulder lengths.

[0042] It should be noted that, compared with the prior art, the shoulder support bracket of this utility model is designed with a ball head structure, while the existing products can only be adjusted up and down and then fixed with screws, which is relatively cumbersome to operate; the shoulder support bracket of this utility model, through the ball head structure, can not only be adjusted up and down, but also the horizontal angle between the plates can be adjusted left and right, allowing the patient to adjust to the optimal angle, and can be quickly locked, and can be operated with one hand.

[0043] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: In this embodiment of the utility model, by using the adjustment component 3, a shoulder support bracket including a first fixing plate 1, a second fixing plate 2, and the adjustment component 3 can be constructed. This is used to adjust the distance between the first fixing plate 1 and the second fixing plate 2, as well as the included angle formed between them. The shoulder support bracket, designed with a ball-head structure, can not only be adjusted vertically but also horizontally, allowing the patient to adjust to the optimal angle. It can also be quickly locked and operated with one hand, making it a suitable shoulder support product to reduce joint load and effectively reduce costs. Because most existing shoulder support products can be adjusted using piston products with piston rods or similar structures to accommodate patients with different shoulder lengths, they usually only allow vertical adjustment and are then fixed with screws, which is cumbersome to operate. Moreover, piston-based products are expensive. Therefore, by using the adjustment component 3 and designing it with a ball-head structure, the shoulder support bracket effectively reduces costs.

[0044] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0045] It should be further clarified that, in this document, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, the statement "comprising a defined element does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes that element" is used. Standard parts used in this invention can be purchased commercially, and custom-shaped parts can be made according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods for each part can all employ conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding, which are mature technologies in the prior art and will not be detailed here.
