Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of joint protection technology, and in particular to an ankle joint protection device. Background Technology
[0002] In orthopedic nursing care, patients with ankle fractures, ligament sprains, and strains need to use braces to protect their ankle joints. Braces can restrict abnormal joint movement, prevent further traction, twisting, or compression of the injured area, and create a relatively stable repair environment for the damaged tissues, which helps to reduce pain and swelling and promote healing.
[0003] Currently, existing ankle braces consist of a rigid plastic shell and multiple sets of Velcro straps. Patients can adjust the tightness of the brace according to their ankle size and comfort needs. However, the Velcro straps tend to attract dust, hair, and other debris from the surrounding environment with repeated use. This debris gets between the hook and loop surfaces, reducing the adhesive strength of the Velcro and making the brace less secure. It can easily shift or loosen during exercise or daily activities, reducing its protective effect on the ankle joint and increasing the risk of injury. Therefore, we propose an ankle protection device to address these problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an ankle joint protection device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An ankle support device includes a rigid plastic shell with straps distributed along its sides. Mounting plates are connected to the front and rear ends of the rigid plastic shell sides of the straps. Connecting rings are inserted into the sides of each mounting plate, and one set of connecting rings is inserted into a connecting block. The connecting block has an internal receiving groove, and a threaded rod is connected to the receiving groove via a bearing. Two sets of threaded plates are fitted onto the outer side of the threaded rod, and the sides of the threaded plates are connected to clamping plates via connecting rods. The connecting block has an internal sliding track adapted to the connecting rod. One end of the strap is positioned on the side where the two sets of clamping plates are close to each other, and the other end of the strap is movably fitted onto the outer side of another set of connecting rings. A rotating block is connected to the end of the threaded rod, and the rotating block extends to the outside of the connecting block.
[0006] Preferably, the inner wall of the receiving groove is connected to a guide rod, and the inside of the threaded plate is provided with slots that are adapted to the guide rod.
[0007] Preferably, rubber sheets are glued to the sides of the clamps that are close to each other, and the outer walls of the rubber sheets are provided with anti-slip textures.
[0008] Preferably, the rubber sheet is connected to a positioning rod on each side, and the end of the strap is provided with a hole that matches the positioning rod.
[0009] Preferably, the rotating block is configured as a T-shaped structure, and connecting pieces are uniformly connected to the outer wall of the rotating block.
[0010] Preferably, the rubber sheet and clamp are configured as a rectangular structure, and the area of the rubber sheet and clamp is larger than the area of the end of the strap.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This device is equipped with a threaded rod and a clamping plate. During use, the threaded rod and the clamping plate work together to quickly remove and replace the straps that have lost their adhesiveness, thus effectively ensuring the fixing effect of the device in subsequent use and reducing the risk of injury during use.
[0012] 2. This device, by setting a positioning rod and a through slot at the end of the strap, can achieve a clamping effect on the end of the strap, thereby effectively preventing the end of the strap from easily being pulled out between the two sets of clamps, thus improving the reliability of the device during use.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0016] Reference Figure 1-5 An ankle support device includes a rigid plastic shell 1. Straps 2 are distributed along the sides of the rigid plastic shell 1, and mounting plates 3 are connected to the front and rear ends of the straps 2. The straps 2 have Velcro loops and hooks sewn inside (not shown in the figure). The Velcro loops and hooks inside the straps 2 secure the patient's ankle to the rigid plastic shell 1. Connecting rings 4 are inserted into the sides of the mounting plates 3, with one set of connecting rings 4 inserted into connecting blocks 5. The connecting blocks 5 have receiving grooves 6 inside, and threaded rods 7 are connected to the receiving grooves 6 via bearings. Two sets of threaded plates 8 are fitted onto the outer side of the threaded rods 7, and the sides of the threaded plates 8 are connected to clamps 9 via connecting rods. The threaded rods 7 have two sets of external threads with opposite directions inside, and the threaded plates 8 have threads adapted to the threaded rods 7. The threaded rod 7 has an internal thread, so when the threaded rod 7 rotates, it can drive the two sets of threaded plates 8 to move closer or further apart. When the threaded plates 8 move closer together, they can drive the two sets of clamping plates 9 to move closer together and fix the fixed end of the strap 2. When the two sets of threaded plates 8 move further apart, the fixation of the fixed end of the strap 2 can be released, so that the strap 2 can be taken out from the inside of the two sets of clamping plates 9. The connecting block 5 has a slide that matches the connecting rod. One end of the strap 2 is placed on the side where the two sets of clamping plates 9 are close to each other, and the other end of the strap 2 is movably sleeved on the outside of another set of connecting rings 4. The end of the threaded rod 7 is connected to a rotating block 10, and the rotating block 10 extends to the outside of the connecting block 5. The two ends of the strap 2 are a fixed end and a movable end, respectively. The fixed end of the strap 2 is located on the side where the two sets of clamping plates 9 are close to each other, while the movable end of the strap 2 moves through the back connecting ring 4.
[0017] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5 It can be seen that the inner wall of the receiving groove 6 is connected to the guide rod 11, and the inside of the threaded plate 8 is provided with slots that are compatible with the guide rod 11. During use, the threaded plate 8 can be guided by the guide rod 11 through the slots inside the threaded plate 8, thereby effectively ensuring the stable lateral movement of the threaded plate 8.
[0018] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5 It can be seen that rubber plates 12 are glued to the sides of the clamping plates 9 that are close to each other, and the outer wall of the rubber plates 12 is provided with anti-slip texture. Through the rubber plates 12 made of rubber material and the anti-slip texture on the rubber plates 12, the tightness of the fixing end of the strap 2 clamped to the inside of the clamping plate 9 can be effectively improved.
[0019] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5 It can be seen that the side of the rubber plate 12 is connected to the positioning rod 13, and the end of the strap 2 is provided with a hole that matches the positioning rod 13. During use, the positioning rod 13 and the hole inside the strap 2 can effectively prevent the fixed end of the strap 2 from moving laterally under external force, thus effectively ensuring the reliability of fixing the fixed end of the strap 2.
[0020] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the rotating block 10 is set as a T-shaped structure, and the outer wall of the rotating block 10 is evenly connected with connecting pieces 14. When in use, the rotating block 10 is set as a T-shaped structure, and the multiple sets of connecting pieces 14 are set on the outer side of the rotating block 10, which makes it easy for the operator to quickly rotate the rotating block 10 and drive the threaded rod 7 to rotate at the same time, thereby effectively improving the convenience of using this device.
[0021] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 It can be seen that the rubber plate 12 and the clamping plate 9 are set as rectangular structures, and the area of the rubber plate 12 and the clamping plate 9 is larger than the area of the end of the strap 2. By using the larger rectangular clamping plate 9, the clamping area of the end of the strap 2 can be increased, which can further improve the clamping effect of the strap 2.
[0022] Working Principle: In use, the patient first places their ankle into the hard plastic shell 1. Then, by tearing the various sets of straps 2, the movable end of the strap 2 passes through the connecting ring 4 on the side of the back mounting plate 3. The ankle and hard plastic shell 1 are then secured by Velcro straps. If the straps 2 become less sticky after prolonged use, the operator can rotate the connecting piece 14 on the front of the corresponding set of straps 2 to simultaneously rotate the rotating block 10. This, in turn, rotates the threaded rod 7 connected to the inner side of the rotating block 10. At this time, the two sets of threaded plates 8 on the outer side of the threaded rod 7 engage with it threadedly. The clamping plates 9, which are connected to the side of the threaded plate 8 via the connecting rod, are forced to move away from each other, thereby releasing the restriction on the fixed end of the strap 2. The positioning rod 13 connected to the end of the rubber plate 12 can be pulled out from the hole opened at the fixed end of the strap 2. Thus, the worker can remove the fixed end of the strap 2 from the end of the clamping plate 9 that is close to it. Then, the strap 2 can be torn to pull the movable end of the strap 2 out from the inside of another set of connecting rings 4, thereby completing the disassembly of the strap 2. Then, the worker can put the fixed end of the new set of strap 2 into the inside of the clamping plate 9, and then complete the installation of the strap 2 by rotating the connecting piece 14 in the opposite direction. The above is the entire working principle of this utility model.

As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented, so they will not be described in detail.
