Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of radiotherapy department protection equipment, in particular to a neck protection device for radiotherapy department convenient to use. BACKGROUND

[0002] For tumor patients, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are generally needed to prevent tumor recurrence or metastasis. During radiotherapy, if the radiation dose or implementation method is not properly mastered, or due to individual physical differences and other factors, physical burns may occur locally, and the depth of the damage is generally deep. Such wounds occur in tumor patients, who often have poor physical condition, weak constitution, and poor mental state, and low wound regeneration capacity, making it difficult to accept skin graft surgery treatment.

[0003] At present, burns caused by radiotherapy are inevitable, and after burns, local ulceration, dermatitis, and blisters may occur. For such symptoms, water needs to be isolated during postoperative care to prevent contact with clothes and bedding. This allows the patient's infected area to recover quickly and reduces infection and deterioration caused by contact.

[0004] Among them, the neck is easily sprayed onto clothes and bedding due to burns caused by radiotherapy. Currently, the neck protection equipment is relatively limited in use and cannot adapt to different groups of people. When the patient is lying down, the soft material in the protective equipment is easily affected by gravity when in contact with the skin. When the protective equipment is entirely made of hard material, it is heavy to wear, and the current protective equipment has poor air permeability.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a neck protection device for radiotherapy department convenient to use to solve the above technical problems. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application provides a neck protection device for radiotherapy department convenient to use, which solves the problem that the current neck protection device for radiotherapy department cannot adapt to different groups of people.

The neck protection device for radiotherapy department which is convenient to use comprises:

[0050] two first half rings 1 and two second half rings 2, wherein the two first half rings 1 and the two second half rings 2 are preferably connected by three connecting positioning racks 5, so as to form two support racks, and the outer sides of the first half rings 1 and the second half rings 2 are provided with sliding pieces 3 for connecting the stretch protection cover 4, wherein the arc-shaped sliding sleeves 31 in the sliding pieces 3 are arranged along the arcs of the first half rings 1 and the second half rings 2, a plurality of sliding blocks 32 are arranged inside the arc-shaped sliding sleeves 31 and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the arc-shaped sliding sleeves 31, and the two sides of the sliding blocks 32 are provided with arc surfaces matched with the arc surfaces of the arc-shaped sliding sleeves 31, so as to be capable of sliding along the inside of the arc-shaped sliding sleeves 31, and the fixed blocks 43 in the stretch protection cover 4 are fixedly connected with the sliding blocks 32 through the arc-shaped sliding grooves 33 at the bottom of the arc-shaped sliding sleeves 31;

[0051] The stretch protection cover 4 is made of cloth material, preferably water-proof material such as umbrella cloth, so as to avoid water directly acting on the neck, that is, the contraction part 41, the connecting part 42 and the fixed block 43 are all made of the material;

[0052] The contraction part 41 can be gradually unfolded along the concave folding horizontal part 411 and the convex folding horizontal part 412, so as to increase the protection diameter, and the elastic force can be gradually retracted along the concave folding horizontal part 411 and the convex folding horizontal part 412 after being retracted;

[0053] The fixed hole 72 on the rubber block 71 at the end of the connecting part 42 on the first half ring 1 can be buckled on the convex shaft 10 on the second half ring 2 after being unfolded, wherein the convex shaft 10 comprises a cylindrical part and a spherical part at the end, and the diameter of the spherical part is larger than that of the cylindrical part, and the rubber block has contraction property, so that the fixed hole can be limited after passing through the spherical part, and the rubber block 71 is preferably made of rubber material.

[0059] When the user lies down, the positioning air guide pipe 61 can be pulled to pull the soft tube 62 to pull the extension protective cover 4 outward, so that the extension protective cover 4 is prevented from being contacted with the skin of the neck of the user due to gravity.

[0060] The positioning air guide pipe 61 can be embedded in the inner part of the fixing sleeve 53 and tightly contacted with the rubber sleeve in the inner part of the fixing sleeve 53.

[0066] Second embodiment

[0067] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3and Figure 5 Based on the user-friendly neck protection device for radiotherapy provided in the first embodiment of this application, the second embodiment of this application proposes another user-friendly neck protection device for radiotherapy. The second embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.

[0068] Specifically, the difference in the easy-to-use neck protection device for radiotherapy provided in the second embodiment of this application is that the positioning mechanism 8 is replaced by a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a fixing frame 111, a positioning shaft 112, a connecting rod 113, a driving ring 114, an elastic element 115, a threaded connection part 116, and an internal thread cap 117. The internal thread cap 117 is fixed on the upper side of the fixing frame 111. The connecting rod 113 passes through the upper side of the fixing frame 111 and is located inside the threaded hole of the internal thread cap 117. The diameter of the threaded hole is larger than the diameter of the connecting rod 113.

[0069] The positioning shaft 112 is fixed to the bottom end of the connecting rod 113 and passes through the lower side of the fixing frame 11. One side of the positioning shaft 112 is set as an inclined surface, and the upper side of the surface of the positioning shaft 112 is provided with an external thread that is compatible with the internal thread cap 117.

[0070] A drive ring 114 is fixed on the surface of the positioning shaft 112 and inside the fixing frame 111. An elastic element 115 is sleeved on the surface of the positioning shaft 112 and on the upper side of the drive ring 114, wherein the elastic element 115 is preferably a spring.

[0071] A drive cap is provided at the top of the connecting rod 113;

[0072] When the positioning rod 92 in the limiting member 9 passes through the lower side of the fixing frame 11, the end of the positioning rod 92 presses the inclined surface of the positioning shaft 112, causing the driving ring 114 to compress the elastic member 115 and retract to the upper side of the fixing frame 111. When it moves to the upper side of the positioning hole 93, the elastic member 115 pushes the driving ring 114 to drive the positioning shaft 112 into the interior of the positioning hole 93.

[0073] During installation, the locking mechanism of the first half-ring 1 and the second half-ring 2 does not need to be operated. Simply insert the positioning rod 92 into the fixing frame 111 as needed, and then retract it to the appropriate size as required. It is easy to use.

[0074] When opening, simply pull the drive cap, which will drive the positioning shaft 112 upward through the connecting rod 113, causing it to move out of the positioning hole 93. At this time, the threaded connection part 116 on the surface of the positioning shaft 112 corresponds to the internal thread cap 117. Tighten it by half a turn to one turn to limit the state of the positioning shaft 112. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0075] The above merely illustrates the embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process conversion, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, which is made according to the content of the present application, shall be included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
