Detailed Description

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The application provides a regularly remind neck brace, this neck brace mainly includes jaw support, front neck shoulder support and back neck head support. The lower edge of the front neck shoulder support extends outwards to form a supporting edge which is contacted with the chest and the shoulders of the user. The front neck shoulder support can increase the contact area with the user by the auxiliary pad extending outwards along the lower edge of the front neck shoulder support, and further disperse the pressure effect of the neck support on the user. The lower jaw support is relatively fixed at the side of the upper edge of the foreneck shoulder support and directly supports the lower jaw of the user. The upper edge of the mandible support extends outwards and is similar to the outline of the mandible of a user.

The chin rest, the front neck shoulder rest and the back neck head rest together define a wearing channel adapted to receive the neck of the user.

Different from the mandibular support proposed in the prior art, the mandibular support of the present application is also provided with a controller housing and a non-sensing optical fiber. The non-sensing optical fiber extends out of the interior of the controller shell and is laid on the lower jaw support. The controller shell is fixedly assembled outside the lower jaw support, and the use of the neck support by a user is not influenced.

The lower jaw support directly contacts and supports the lower jaw, a lower jaw cushion pad is usually required to be arranged on the lower jaw support, the non-sensing optical fiber can be pre-embedded on the lower jaw cushion pad, and then the lower jaw cushion pad is fixed on the lower jaw support.

The non-sensing optical fiber mainly means that no sensor, an optical fiber grating demodulator and the like are arranged on the optical fiber, and the non-sensing optical fiber is only used for emitting signal light.

At present, a great deal of conventional equipment applied to optical signal prompting is LED strips, however, the application of the LED strips has at least one of the following problems: firstly, as the LED lamp strip has a plurality of circuits and the edge of the mandible buffer pad is just opposite to the exhalation direction of a user, the LED lamp strip is easily in a humid environment and is easily short-circuited after being wetted, so that the service life of the LED lamp strip is influenced; secondly, the LED lamp strip generates heat when used, so that the ambient temperature of the face of a user is increased, the light attenuation of the LED lamp is accelerated, and the use cost is increased; thirdly, the LED light is strong, and is strong direct light for users or people facing the users; fourthly, the LED lamp strip needs to carry out series processes such as die bonding, wire welding, glue sealing and the like on a plurality of lamp beads, and the lamp strip also needs procedures such as surface mounting, sleeve penetrating and the like, so that the production process is complex and the cost is high; fifthly, the edges of the lower jaw cushion pads are arc-shaped edges, and at the bent part or the excessive bent part, the LED lamp strip is easy to have the problem that the welding part of the lamp bead is broken and disconnected.

In this respect, the non-sensing optical fiber with improved structure is adopted in the present application, which solves several problems existing in the above L ED lamp as the prompting lamp. Because the non-sensing optical fiber is light-conducting, no multiple circuits are needed, and the influence of the environmental humidity is avoided. And the heat cannot be generated, the service life is long, the processing technology is simple, and the use cost is further reduced. And, the light source passes through transmission again after the reflection in the optic fibre, has weakened the light that the user can observe, can not cause the highlight to penetrate directly. In addition, the optical fiber is soft, and can be well suitable for the edge of the arc-shaped mandibular cushion.

Namely, a plurality of optical fiber strips are concentrated on one side of the transparent cladding tube, so that only part of the side surface of the non-sensing optical fiber emits light.

The non-sensing optical fiber may be attached so that the light emitting side faces the face of the user. The light-emitting prompt of the non-sensing optical fiber can be easily observed by the residual light downwards from the user, and the side opposite to the user does not emit light, so that the waste of a light source and the unnecessary attention of other people except the user are avoided.

Further preferably, the outermost layer of the flexible inner tube is provided with a reflective layer. I.e. light towards the non-light emitting side can also be reflected by the outer layer of the flexible inner tube to the light emitting side.

In addition, the optical fiber is in a long strip shape, the range of at least 1/3-2/3 related to the visual field of a user is involved, the prompting light emitted by the light-emitting side is enough to attract the attention of the user or enable the user to observe the prompting light, and meanwhile, the light intensity is not too high.
