Description

Pain reliever {PAIN RELIEVER}

The present disclosure relates to a pain reliever capable of alleviating pain in the spine.

Almost the only primates who walk on bipedal humans were born with a body structured to cause back-related diseases even without any accident or genetic disease.

Specifically, due to the weight of muscles, organs, skeleton and blood, a person's waist is under pressure for close to 24 hours, and among them, the burden placed on the spine that supports the core of the human body is significant, Many complain of spinal disease.

In addition, in the modern society, as the number of jobs that use computers to handle tasks increases, the spread of smartphones, etc. is expanded, and as a result of focusing on smartphones with poor attitudes, there are countless reasons such as standing and working all day. Throughout the year, the number of patients with chronic spinal disease is only increasing year by year.

Spinal disorders include intervertebral disc herniation (commonly referred to as lumbar disc), lumbar spinal canal stenosis, and straight neck syndrome. There are diseases such as turtle neck syndrome. In particular, disc herniation or lumbar spinal canal stenosis is the most representative degenerative disease, and is a disease that interferes with daily life by causing low back pain by protruding a disc between the lumbar and lumbar spine and compressing the nerve. In addition, due to the spread of the aforementioned smart phones, patients with straight neck syndrome and turtle neck syndrome are also rapidly increasing as the number of patients with lumbar discs.

People perform surgery to treat these spinal diseases, and also wear medical aids in parallel with the surgery.

These medical aids provide the effect of compressing the prolapsed area of the disc and extending the spine to allow the disc to re-enter the spine. However, conventional medical auxiliary devices are made to have a large volume to cover the entire thoracic or lumbar vertebrae included in the spine, or the user may be forced to provide each of a plurality of medical auxiliary devices according to a site of a spinal disease. For example, a medical auxiliary device for alleviating pain in the cervical spine and a medical auxiliary device for alleviating pain in the lumbar spine are manufactured to be incompatible with each other. Accordingly, the user has no choice but to naturally follow the financial burden when a spinal complex disease occurs due to an improper posture or a traffic accident.

In other words, it may be necessary to develop a device that can prepare for or at least alleviate spinal diseases that inevitably occur in human life.

That is, at least a portion of the first extension part 330 may be inserted into and coupled to the second extension part 340. In addition, at least a portion of the second extension part 340 may be inserted into and coupled to the third extension part 350. In addition, when the first extension part 330, the second extension part 340, and the third extension part 350 are combined, the extension member 300 has a central axis 360 provided inside the plurality of extension parts. May be extended or contracted through.

For example, when a fluid flows into the central axis 360 and extends, the first locking portion (FIGS. 7 and 333) provided under the first extension portion 330 is the upper side of the second extension portion 340. Can be moved to. In addition, the second locking portion (Figs. 7 and 343) provided under the second extension portion 340 may be moved upward of the third extension portion 350. Here, the fluid may be introduced through a pump (FIGS. 7 and 540) provided in the driving unit 500. Hereinafter, a method of extending the extension member 300 through the pump 540 will be described later with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.

Specifically, the driving unit 500 may include a driving motor 510, a first shaft 520, and a power supply unit (not shown).

The driving motor 510 may be a DC motor, a servo motor, a brushless DC (BLDC) motor, or the like. However, it is not limited thereto.

The driving motor 510 may be provided at a predetermined position of the pain reliever 10. Here, the predetermined position may be a position suitable for the driving motor 510 to be provided.

For example, the driving motor 510 may be provided in one area of the heating member 400. Here, one area of the heating member 400 may be the other surface of one surface where the heating member 400 contacts the back when the user installs the pain reliever 10.

Meanwhile, the driving motor 510 may include a second bevel gear 511 coupled to the shaft of the driving motor 510. Here, the second bevel gear 511 may be a gear that meshes with the third bevel gear 521 provided on the first shaft 520 for transmitting power to the second extension rod 320.

Meanwhile, the first shaft 520 may transmit power generated by the driving motor 510 to the second extension rod 320.

Specifically, the first shaft 520 has a third bevel gear 521 that engages with the second bevel gear 511 at one end, and a fourth bevel gear 522 that engages with the first bevel gear 322 Can be provided at the other end.

For example, when power is generated from the drive motor 510, the first shaft 520 receives power through the third bevel gear 521 engaged with the second bevel gear 511, and receives the received power. It may be transmitted to the first bevel gear 322 through the fourth bevel gear 522. Accordingly, the extension member 300 may be extended or contracted through the power transmitted to the second extension rod 320.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first shaft 520 may be a flexible shaft. Here, the flexible shaft may be a shaft capable of transmitting the rotational force generated by the drive motor 510 in an irregular direction.

Specifically, the first shaft 520 may include a hose forming the outer appearance of the shaft and a plurality of wires mutually wound inside the hose. In addition, a coupling or a bracket having a key hole or the like may be coupled to one end and the other end of the hose so that a gear or the like can be coupled. And, it is possible to couple at least one bevel gear through the provided coupling or bracket.

Therefore, even if the position of the drive motor 510 is moved as the extension member 300 extends, the first shaft 520 can continuously transmit power generated from the drive motor 510 to the extension member 300.

The power supply unit is a component that supplies power to the driving motor 510 and may be configured to use power through a battery or the like.

In the present disclosure, the driving unit 500 is a driving motor 510, a second extension rod through a second shaft (not shown) coupled to one end and the other end to the first bevel gear 322 Power can also be transmitted to (320).

Specifically, the driving unit 500 may connect the second shaft to the shaft of the driving motor 510 through a coupling or the like. In addition, the other side of the second shaft coupled to the shaft of the drive motor 510 is driven by being connected to the first bevel gear 322 and at least one bevel gear or directly connected to the second extension rod 320. Power generated from the motor 510 can be transmitted. At this time, the second shaft may be a flexible shaft.

Specifically, a first bevel gear 322 may be provided at one end of the second extension bar 320 opposite to a portion inserted into the hollow provided in the first extension bar 310. In addition, the horizontal rotational force transmitted from the driving unit 500 through the first bevel gear 322 may be converted into a vertical rotational force. And, when power is transmitted to the second extension bar 320, the extension member 300 may be extended or contracted.

For example, when the second extension rod 320 rotates in a clockwise direction through power received from the driving unit 500, the extension member 300 may be extended. In addition, when the second extension rod rotates in a counterclockwise direction, the extension member 300 may be contracted.

However, the extension and contraction operation of the extension member 300 is not limited by the driving unit 500, and if necessary, the user directly rotates the first extension bar 310 or the second extension bar 320 to rotate the extension member ( 300) may be extended or contracted.
