Description

The remedy apparatus for the cervical vertebrae}

The present invention relates to a cervical vertebrae correction device, and in particular, the interval can be adjusted according to the user's physical condition and to massage the user's cervical spine both sides and rear portion at the same time, it can be given a heat function and far-infrared emission function. It relates to a cervical vertebral correction device whose structure has been improved.

In general, the cervical spine of the human body refers to the vertebrae in the upper part of the spine and the cervical part of the human body, which consists of seven vertebrae and rotates unlike the lumbar and thoracic vertebrae. Exercise, flexion and extension exercises are to be possible.

Existing cervical spine diseases include cervical sprains, cervical disc herniation, cervical spine fractures, cervical spinal canal stenosis, posterior ligamentosclerosis, spinal tumors, and the most common diseases are cervical sprains and cervical disc herniation.

The whiplash injury occurs when the muscles or ligaments surrounding the cervical spine are abnormally tensioned or relaxed, or when the cervical spine is overextended or overflexed by external force, or is torsional or axially compressed. And muscles around the cervical spine, ligaments, etc. are stretched or torn, swollen and painful symptoms.

 In addition, ruptured cervical disk, also called a neck disk, is a disease caused by degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs.

Cervical intervertebral disc herniation may be caused by trauma or chronic stimulation, and may occur degeneratively as aging progresses, or may occur acutely when the fixed state is maintained in an inappropriate position for a long time in daily life.

Stiffness or relaxation of the neck muscles in the above cases is preferably treated using a physical therapy device that delivers physical stimulation.

However, conventional physical therapy devices employ a physical therapy device in which a pressure member that stimulates the spine simply applies heat while reciprocating in a straight line along the spine, or uses low frequency to intermittently apply a physical stimulus to a specific part of the body. Mainly adopts a physical therapy device.

In the former case, only the function of stimulating the spinal region is unsuitable for patients suffering from cervical disease, and in the latter case, it is difficult to directly stimulate the cervical spine.

In addition, since the cervical spine of the human body has a curved structural characteristic, a physical therapy device considering this is required.

And, the cervical spine orthodontic device for acupressure of the existing cervical spine simply has an elliptical orbital rotational method to rub or strike the side of the neck from both sides, or to stimulate the form to move along the back cervical line of the neck Because it has, there is a problem that can not effectively eliminate the agglomeration of the surrounding muscles of the cervical spine by simply stimulating the biased one part of the neck.

In addition, the conventional cervical vertebra massage device has a risk of causing excessive damage according to the user by stimulating by pressing around the neck without considering the user's body shape.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems in consideration of the above problems, the purpose of which can not only acupressure the side and rear parts of the neck together, but also to adjust the width of the neck area according to the user's physical environment The structure is improved to provide a cervical spine correction device.

In addition, it is further provided with a heating element 400 which is disposed on the outer surface of the guide block 259 located in the main body 10 and generates heat when an external power is applied, and the heating element 400 has a far-infrared face shape that emits far infrared rays upon self-heating. It is preferable to employ a heating element.

Reference numerals denote the manipulator 20 provided with a switch for controlling the driving of the rotary motor 251 and the driving motor 110, and the wiring 25 connected to the manipulator 20, respectively.

Referring to the operation of the present invention having such a structure is as follows.

In the cervical vertebrae correcting apparatus according to the present invention, after the user makes the neck part in contact with the main body 10 and adjusts the interval between the two acupressure spheres 100 to suit the user's physical condition, the rear part of the neck of the user is guided. The upper surface of the block 259 is in contact, and both sides of the neck are positioned between the two acupressure holes 100.

At this time, the interval between the two acupressure sphere 100 can be adjusted by the interval adjusting means, the operation process is to drive each of the control motor 210 to rotate the motor shaft 215 in the forward direction, each motor shaft 215 Moving block 225 coupled to the forward movement along the thread formed on the outer circumferential surface of the motor shaft 215 to narrow the gap between the two acupressure sphere 100, on the contrary, if the motor shaft 215 rotates in the reverse direction, The gap between the two acupressure spheres 100 is widened.

In addition, in the operation process of both acupressure tool 100, when the motor shaft of the driving motor 110 rotates, the gear of the driving gear 120 engaged with the motor shaft is interlocked and the gears of the driving gear 120 are rotated. Since the driving gear 124 is interlocked with each other and the moving pin 235 of the moving case 230 is in contact with the camway 247 of the driving gear 124, the eccentric cam 245 Due to the difference in the outer diameter between the concave portion 245a and the convex portion 245b, the moving pin 235 is moved left and right, thereby moving the moving case 230 left and right together.

Accordingly, both the chiropractor 100 is moved to both the left and right sides of the user's neck cervical spine both parts of the cervical spine and massage, the rotational acupressure sphere 300 is acupressure and massage the cervical spine rear portion of the cervical spine area Since the entire area of the massage together, the fatigue of the cervical spine area is greatly reduced and massage efficiency is improved.

On the other hand, when power is applied to the heating element 400 provided on the outer surface of the guide block 259, the far-infrared plane heating element itself generates heat to provide a heat function and far-infrared ray emitting function to ease the user's fatigue.

Since the rotating means is accommodated in the slide groove 252a formed on the outer circumferential surface of the motor shaft 251 of the rotary motor 251 so that the moving protrusion 260a of the moving bar 260 is slidably movable, the rotation of the motor shaft 252 is performed. When the moving bar 260 moves forward and backward along the trajectory of the slide groove 252a, the link member 265 is rotated about the linkage shaft 260b when the moving bar 260 moves forward and backward. As the link member 265 rotates, the connecting shaft 310 moves forward and backward while rolling in the coupling hole 259a of the guide block 259.

That is, the rotation means of the present invention converts the rotational force of the rotary motor 251 into a linear motion to act as a front and rear movement force of the rotary shiatsu 300 also in a configuration different from the above-described embodiment It is possible.
