Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] Please see Figure 1 In Embodiment 1 of this utility model, a cooling device for reducing lower back and hip pain during HIFU treatment is provided. This device is installed at the edge of the HIFU bed and includes a support 1, a side frame 2, a thermal imager 3, a water spray mechanism, and a controller 5. The side frame 2 is mounted on the side wall of the support 1. The thermal imager 3 is mounted on the side frame 2. The output end of the spray mechanism is mounted on the side frame 2. Both the thermal imager 3 and the water spray mechanism are electrically connected to the controller 5. The thermal imager 3 is used to identify areas of higher temperature on the patient and obtain identification signals. The controller 5 is configured to receive the identification signals transmitted by the thermal imager 3 and issue water spray commands based on the identification signals. The water spray mechanism is configured to spray water onto areas of higher temperature on the patient based on the water spray commands.
[0023] In some embodiments, the bracket 1 can be mounted on the edge of the HIFU bed. This facilitates use.
[0024] This invention uses a thermal imager 3 to identify areas of high temperature on the patient, then transmits the identification signal to a controller 5. The controller 5 then controls a water spray mechanism to cool the affected area based on the identification signal. This invention reduces patient suffering, simplifies the process, and makes operation easier without increasing manpower or financial expenditure, while also reducing the occurrence of post-treatment complications.
[0025] In some embodiments, the side frame 2 is mounted on the support 1 via a lifting mechanism, which facilitates height adjustment of the side frame 2 to meet different height requirements. Specifically, the lifting mechanism includes at least one first lead screw stepper motor 12 mounted on the support 1. The output end of the first lead screw stepper motor 12 is driven by a first lead screw, which is rotatably mounted on the support 1. A first threaded hole on the side frame 2 passes through the first lead screw, and the first threaded hole engages with the first lead screw, so that the first lead screw can drive the side frame 2 to rise and fall under the drive of the first lead screw stepper motor 12. The first lead screw stepper motor 12 is electrically connected to the controller 5, so that the controller 5 can control the first lead screw stepper motor 12. There can be one or two first lead screw stepper motors 12.
[0026] In some embodiments, the side frame 2 is slidably mounted on the first guide rail 13 on the support 1 at one end near the support 1, thus enabling the side frame 2 to slide up and down. The side frame 2 can be slidably mounted on the first guide rail 13 via support rollers.
[0027] In some embodiments, the spray mechanism includes a shower head 4 and a moving assembly for driving the shower head 4 to move. The moving assembly includes a first mounting plate slidably disposed along the length of the side frame 2. The mounting plate is mounted on the side frame 2 via a first lead screw mechanism. A second lead screw mechanism is also disposed on the mounting plate, and a second mounting plate is disposed on the second lead screw. The movement direction of the first mounting plate is different from that of the second mounting plate. The shower head 4 is mounted on the second mounting plate, thus resulting in a different installation direction for the shower head 4. Both the first and second lead screw mechanisms are prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0028] In some embodiments, the first lead screw mechanism and the second lead screw mechanism can be replaced by a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod, etc.
[0029] In some embodiments, the water spraying mechanism further includes a water pump 6 and a water tank 7. The output end of the water pump 6 is connected to the input end of the shower head 4, and the input end of the water pump 6 is inserted into the water tank 7 through a hose 8. Thus, when the water pump 6 is powered on, it supplies the deaerated water from the water tank 7 to the shower head 4. The shower head 4 then sprays water onto the painful area of the patient to cool it down, thereby relieving pain and preventing burns to the skin and nerves.
[0030] It should be noted that a waterproof design can be installed between the water pump 6 and the side frame 2 to prevent electric leakage from causing danger.
[0031] In some embodiments, the thermal imager 3 is electrically connected to the controller 5 via a thermal imager cable 11 to transmit thermal imaging signals to the controller 5. The water pump 6 is electrically connected to the controller 5 via a water pump control line 9.
[0032] Preferably, this embodiment also includes a remote controller 14, which is communicatively connected to the controller 5 and is used to control the lifting mechanism. The remote controller 14 and the controller 5 can be wirelessly connected.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0034] During treatment, the patient lies prone, and this utility model is fixed to the edge of the HIFU bed, above the patient's lower back and buttocks. A water pipe is placed in the HIFU deaerated water tank 7, and the power is connected. The shower head 4 and thermal imager 3 are moved above the patient. The thermal imager 3 can detect areas of higher temperature on the patient's buttocks. The shower head 4 is fixed above the area of pain (it can be moved to the corresponding area as the patient's pain location changes). The water volume is controlled to provide local cooling and alleviate the patient's pain, preventing burns to the skin and nerves.
[0035] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0037] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature is in indirect contact with the second feature through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0039] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
