Example 1
As shown in figure 1, the diagnosis and treatment chair for pediatrics comprises a hip sitting area 1 and a supporting area 5, wherein the hip sitting area 1 is arranged on the upper portion of the supporting area 5, the diagnosis and treatment chair further comprises a leg area 2, the leg area 2 is rotatably connected with the hip sitting area 1, preferably, the hip area 2 at least comprises a fixed area 2b rotatably connected with the hip sitting area 1, a telescopic area 2a and a pedal area 2c, the fixed area 2b is movably connected with the telescopic area 2a, the pedal area 2c is connected with the telescopic area 2c in an included angle α mode, therefore, the leg area 2 can be rotatably connected with the hip sitting area 1 in a mode of changing the telescopic amount of the telescopic area 2a based on the thrust or pressure of the pedal area 2c, a child patient can sit on the hip sitting area 1 through the pedal area 2c, the leg area 2 is rotatably connected with the hip sitting area 1 and the leg area can adapt to different heights of the child according to the set telescopic area 2a, so that the diagnosis and treatment chair for the child can be in a condition that the leg of the child can be supported by the leg during the diagnosis and treatment.
Preferably, the fixed zone 2b is configured with a plate-like structure or an arc-like structure capable of accommodating the telescopic zone 2 a. The shape and structure of the expansion area 2a are identical to the shape and structure of the fixing area 2 b. For example, the expansion region 2a has a plate-like structure, and the fixed region 2b also has a plate-like structure. Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, one end of the fixed area 2b is provided with a limiting surface 2b-3 for limiting the telescopic area 2a from completely extending out of the fixed area 2 b. The limiting surface 2b-3 is matched with a limiting seat 2a-1 arranged at one end of the telescopic area 2a extending into the fixed area 2 b. This arrangement is intended to ensure that the telescopic section 2a is disengaged from the fixed section 2b, which would result in a functional failure of the leg section 2.
Preferably, one side of the limiting seat 2a-1 departing from the limiting surface is fixedly connected with a damping device 2 b-1. The other end of the damping device 2b-1 is fixedly connected to the base 2b-2 of the fixing area 2 b. For example, the damping stamp 2b-1 may be a common spring or an air spring. When a heavy child uses the device, the weight of the child can cause the telescopic area 2a to generate an excessive telescopic amount gradient, so that panic is caused. The damping device 2b-1 is used for slowing down the change of the stretching amount generated by the stretching area 2a and reducing the psychological discomfort of children.
Preferably, a rotation mechanism 12 is provided between the leg region 2 and the hip seat region 1. The pivot mechanism 12 includes a pivot shaft 12a provided in the leg region 2 and a pivot groove 12b provided in the hip seat region 1 and engaged with the pivot shaft 12 a.

Preferably, the adjusting joint 5b is sleeved on the supporting column 5a, and the spring structure 5d is arranged between the adjusting joint 5b and the hip seat area 3. The support area 5 can thus be movably connected to the hip seat area 3 in such a way that the elongation of the spring structure 5d is changed on the basis of the adjustment joint 5b and the pair of movement formed by the support column 5 a. The height of the hip seat area 3 is changed according to the elongation of the spring structure 5d, which can overcome the technical problem that a shorter child cannot sit on the hip seat area 3 through the leg area 2. Specifically, when a shorter child is used, the height of the hip seat zone 3 is lowered by adjusting the adjustment joint 5b so that the spring structure 5d pulls the hip seat zone 3 based on the length value of the spring structure 5d, thereby enabling the shorter child to also sit on the hip seat zone 3.
Preferably, the support zone 5 also comprises a seat 5c integrally connected to the support column 5 a.
Preferably, the supporting column 5a is provided with a threaded groove matching with the threaded hole provided by the adjusting joint 5 b. Thus, when the hip sitting area 3 is adjusted to a reasonable height, the support area 5 can be fixedly connected with the hip sitting area 3 based on a connection pair formed by the connection pieces between the threaded holes and the threaded grooves. Reasonable height is based on the physician's judgment of the child being elevated.
Preferably, the hip seat 3 includes a cushion plate 1b and a drawing plate 1a movably connected to the cushion plate 1 b. Preferably, the connection structure of the cushion plate 1b and the closure plate 1a can refer to the connection structure of the fixing region 2b of the expansion region 2 a. When the chair is used by a higher child or a child with a larger weight, the area of the hip sitting area 3 can be widened by adjusting the drawer plate 1a, so that the chair can be stably seated in the diagnosis and treatment chair. Preferably, the end of the drawable plate 1a that can extend beyond the cushion plate 1b is pivotally connected to the rest area 4. The rotary connection of the drawer plate 1a to the rest area 4 can be referred to the structure of the rotary mechanism 12. This arrangement allows the child to lean or lie down.
Preferably, the back rest area 4 includes a back rest 4b and a head rest 4a pivotally connected to the back rest 4 b. Preferably, a neck protection pillow 4c with elastic function is arranged at the rotary connection part of the back rest plate 4b and the head rest plate 4 a. This arrangement is ergonomic. The neck protecting pillow 4c is the prior art and is not described in detail.
Preferably, the hip seat 3 is further provided with a handle 3, and the handle 3 includes a support bar 3a and a cross bar 3b connected to the support bar 3 a. Preferably, the cross bar 3b is provided with a fixing means for preventing the child from falling. The fixing device can be a fixing railing and an elastic rope with a magic tape.
