Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of nursing equipment, and in particular relates to a protective cover for an infrared therapeutic instrument. Background Art

[0002] Infrared therapy devices utilize infrared radiation to penetrate the skin, generating a thermal effect in muscles and subcutaneous tissue, thereby achieving therapeutic effects. The principle is that, upon absorption, infrared radiation resonates with water molecules in the body, causing cells to vibrate at a high energy level. This resonance and thermal effect raises the temperature deep within the subcutaneous tissue, creating a thermal effect that dilates capillaries, increases catalase activity in mitochondria, and enhances cellular metabolism and protein synthesis. These devices are often used as an adjunct to physical therapy for pain relief related to muscle injuries. When used to treat chronic inflammation, they promote local blood circulation, enhance the phagocytic function of cells and macrophages, control infection, and promote the resolution of inflammation. They can also promote wound regeneration and repair, thereby relieving pain, reducing swelling, promoting the growth of granulation tissue, shortening wound healing time, and reducing postoperative adhesions, softening scars, and alleviating scar contractures.

[0003] However, when the user is using the infrared therapy device for frontal irradiation, the light can cause some irritation to the eyes. For example, if a patient has a shoulder injury, the light can irritate the patient's eyes, causing discomfort and making it difficult for the patient to read or do other activities. Utility Model Content

For example, "A and / or B" can represent three situations: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. A and B can each be singular or plural.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The utility model provides a protective cover for an infrared therapy instrument, specifically an infrared therapy instrument with a truncated cone head shape, comprising a first fixing portion 1, an anti-slip member 2 and a cover body 3. The first fixing portion 1 is used to fix the protective cover to the surface of the irradiated head of the infrared therapy instrument. The anti-slip member 2 is used to increase the friction between the protective cover and the infrared therapy instrument to prevent the protective cover from easily separating from the infrared therapy instrument. The cover body 3 is used to block the glare generated by the infrared therapy instrument when it is working, thereby protecting the patient's eyes. The cover body 3 is divided into an upper bottom edge 31, a lower bottom edge 32, a left side 33 and a right side 34. The first fixing portion 1 is arranged on the upper bottom edge 31 of the cover body 3, and the anti-slip member 2 is arranged on the side of the first fixing portion 1. This structural design also enables the present protective cover to be applicable to infrared therapy instruments with truncated cone heads of different sizes.

[0034] Furthermore, the cover body 3 includes a heat-resistant layer 7 and a light-shielding layer 8. The heat-resistant layer 7 is arranged in the middle of the light-shielding layer 8. Therefore, the light-shielding layer 8 is a double-sided structure. Specifically, the light-shielding layer 8 is a protective cover, and an installation position for the heat-resistant layer 7 is provided in the light-shielding layer 8.

[0035] Furthermore, the heat-resistant layer 7 is a polystyrene sheet or a polytrifluoroethylene sheet, polystyrene (PS): PS has high hardness and temperature resistance, and is suitable for an environment of 30°C to 70°C; polytrifluoroethylene (PTFE): PTFE has good hardness and high temperature resistance, and is suitable for a temperature range of 30°C to 70°C; the shading layer 8 is dark wool cloth or dark fiber cloth.

[0036] The temperature range that the infrared therapy device currently available on the market can usually generate is 30°C to 70°C. Therefore, the heat-resistant layer 7 has a certain hardness, elasticity and heat resistance. The dark wool cloth has good light-shielding performance and is relatively thick, which can effectively block the penetration of infrared light; the dark fiber cloth is a light-shielding fabric and can also effectively block the penetration of infrared light.

[0037] Furthermore, in order to prevent light leakage caused by an overly large opening in the lower half of the cover body 3, a second fixing portion 4 is further included, which is disposed at the lower bottom edge 32 of the cover body 3. Furthermore, considering the shape of the light shielding layer 8 of the cover body 3, the middle mounting position of the light shielding layer 8 is flanked by thick edges, i.e., the thick edges on both sides constitute the first fixing portion 1 and the second fixing portion 4.

[0038] Furthermore, the first fixing part 1 and the second fixing part 4 both include a furry surface 5 and a hook surface 6. According to the diameter of the current infrared therapy instrument, the left side 33 of the cover body 3 is moved above the right side 34, or the right side 34 of the cover body 3 is moved above the left side 33. The furry surface 5 and the hook surface 6 are detachably bonded to fix the protective cover to the surface of the infrared therapy instrument.

[0039] Furthermore, the anti-slip part 2 is a silicone sheet. The first advantage of the silicone sheet is that it has a certain heat resistance and can withstand 30°C to 70°C generated when the infrared therapy device is working. The second advantage is that it can enhance friction and prevent the protective cover from slipping.

[0040] Regarding the position setting between the fur surface 5 of the first fixing part 1, the hook surface 6 of the first fixing part 1 and the anti-slip part 2, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The hairy surface 5 of the first fixing part 1 is arranged on the inner side surface of the cover body 3, the hook surface 6 of the first fixing part 1 is arranged on the outer surface of the cover body 3, and the anti-slip part 2 is arranged on one side of the hairy surface 5 of the first fixing part 1; it can also be designed that the hairy surface 5 of the first fixing part 1 is arranged on the outer surface of the cover body 3, the hook surface 6 of the first fixing part 1 is arranged on the inner side surface of the cover body 3, and the anti-slip part 2 is arranged on one side of the hook surface 6 of the first fixing part 1; that is, the anti-slip part 2 is to be arranged on the inner side surface of the cover body 3, and when the hairy surface 5 and the hook surface 6 are adhered to each other, the anti-slip part 2 and the surface of the infrared therapy instrument generate mutual friction resistance.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5-Figure 7 The difference from Example 1 is that the first fixing part 1 is an elastic band 11 and a plurality of positioning buttons 12, one end of the elastic band 11 is fixedly connected to the cover body 3, and the other end of the elastic band 11 is a movable end, and a plurality of openings 111 are provided on the elastic band 11, and the openings 111 are sleeved on the positioning buttons 12; and the second fixing part 4 still adopts the structure of the fleece surface 5 and the hook surface 6.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] When patients with limb injuries use infrared therapy devices, the light from the device irritates their eyes, causing discomfort and a poor medical experience. For bedridden patients, the inconvenience of checking the temperature and duration of the infrared therapy device can cause anxiety and a poor medical experience.

[0045] In order to improve the patient's experience of using infrared therapy equipment and promote wound recovery, refer to Figure 8The difference from Example 1 is that the cover body 3 is provided with a display screen 35 and a temperature sensor 36, and the temperature sensor 36 is electrically connected to the display screen 35. For patients who are bedridden for a long time, they can directly understand the temperature of the infrared therapy device and the remaining irradiation time, thereby improving the patient's medical experience.

[0046] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
