Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ice compress care, in particular to an ice compress therapeutic device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a traditional physical therapy method, ice compress still occupies a place in modern medicine. It uses the low temperature characteristics of ice packs or ice water to directly act on the affected area or specific parts to achieve the therapeutic purposes of cooling, dissipating heat, stopping bleeding and pain, and eliminating swelling. It is widely used in many fields such as sports injuries, postoperative rehabilitation, and acute trauma treatment.

[0003] During ice compress treatment, directly applying ice to the affected area with an ice bag is not only difficult to evenly apply ice to the skin surface, but also easy to frostbite the skin tissue. There is currently a method of applying ice to the affected area using cold air sprayed from a nozzle, thereby achieving the effects of cooling and dissipating heat, stopping bleeding and relieving pain, and eliminating swelling. The spray nozzle needs to continuously spray cold air to maintain spray ice compress on the affected area. During the spray ice compress process, in order to facilitate the adjustment of the cold compress level and prevent frostbite of the patient's local tissue, this ice compress instrument adjusts the height of the ice compress nozzle to increase or decrease the distance between the ice compress nozzle and the affected area, and reduce or increase the ice compress level or ice compress gear of the spray ice compress. When adjusting the ice compress level and gear, although the distance between the ice compress nozzle and the affected area is controlled, the spray volume of the ice compress nozzle does not promptly decrease or increase accordingly with the adjustment of the nozzle distance, and always maintains the same spray volume, resulting in poor effect of adjusting the spray ice compress level and gear.

[0032] Example

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, an ice therapy device includes: a nozzle body 1, a sleeve 2, a threaded tube 3, a control component 4 and a refrigeration component 6. The nozzle body 1 is a cylinder with a cavity. Figure 4 As shown, a threaded groove 12 is provided on the circumferential side of the outer side of the nozzle body 1, and a plurality of nozzle nozzles 11 are arranged along the threaded groove 12. The nozzle nozzles 11 are sunken in the groove surface of the threaded groove 12 and communicated with the cavity; two sections of threaded channels are provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 2 along its axial direction, namely a first threaded channel 21 and a second threaded channel 22. In this embodiment, the first threaded channel 21 and the second threaded channel 22 are communicated, and the threaded groove 12 on the nozzle body 1 is engaged with the threaded protrusion 211 of the first threaded channel 21, and the nozzle body 1 can be completely accommodated in the first threaded channel 21; the threaded tube 3 is hollow inside, and one end of the threaded tube 3 is threadedly connected to the second threaded channel 22, and this end is communicated with the cavity of the nozzle body 1, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a water inlet hole is opened on the threaded tube 3, and the water inlet hole is connected to one end of the hose 7; the control component 4 is connected to the other end of the threaded tube 3, and is used to drive the threaded tube 3 to rotate so that the threaded tube 3 can be fed in the second threaded channel 22, thereby controlling the nozzle body 1 to move away from and close to the affected area; the refrigeration component 6 is connected to the other end of the hose 7, and the refrigeration component 6 is set on the workbench, and the sleeve 2 is connected to the workbench through the connecting component.

[0034] A method for performing ice compress therapy with an ice compress therapy device according to the above embodiment includes the following steps:

[0035] When in use, the cold air required for ice compress is prepared by the refrigeration component 6, and the prepared cold air is transported to the nozzle body 1 through the hose 7.

[0036] The nozzle body 1 is brought close to the affected area. At this time, the nozzle body 1 is located outside the first threaded channel 21 so that more nozzles 11 of the nozzle can spray a large amount of cold air to apply ice to the affected area.

[0037] After applying ice for a period of time, the driving threaded tube 3 is rotated in the second threaded channel 22 through the control component 4 to move the threaded tube 3 away from the affected area. At this time, the nozzle body 1 follows the threaded tube 3 and is screwed into the first threaded channel 21 to increase the distance from the affected area, and a part of the nozzle outlet 11 in the threaded groove 12 is closed by the threaded protrusion 211 of the first threaded channel 21, thereby reducing the amount of cold air sprayed by the nozzle body 1.

[0038] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that when the nozzle body 1 sprays cold air, the cold air can first cover the center of the affected area, and then diffuse to the surrounding areas of the affected area after contacting the affected area, thereby ensuring the ice compress effect at the center of the affected area, the bottom surface of the nozzle body 1 is configured as a raised structure, and a plurality of nozzle nozzles 11 are evenly arranged on the raised structure, and the nozzle nozzles 11 are connected to the cavity.

[0039] In some embodiments, in order to limit the rising distance of the nozzle body 1, the first threaded channel 21 is made of rubber material, and the radius of the first threaded channel 21 is greater than the radius of the second threaded channel 22. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the nozzle body 1 rises to the highest position, the top of the nozzle body 1 fits with the bottom of the first threaded channel 21, clamping the nozzle body 1 to prevent it from continuing to rise.

[0040] In some embodiments, in order to improve the ice compress effect, the nozzle outlet 11 is an atomizing nozzle, and the opening direction of the nozzle outlet 11 is inclined toward the end of the nozzle body 1 away from the sleeve 2. The sprayed atomized cold air is in an umbrella shape and covers the affected area, which not only makes the atomized cold air contact the affected area more evenly, but also can control the range of the atomized cold air acting on the affected area, thereby improving the ice compress effect.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the control component 4 includes: a guide rod 41 and a motor 42. Two guide rods 41 are provided, which are symmetrically and vertically arranged on the end face of the sleeve 2 away from the nozzle body 1; the motor 42 is a servo motor, and is controlled by an external power supply and a controller. The motor 42 is configured with a motor seat, and rings are provided on both sides of the motor seat, and the rings are slidably sleeved on the guide rod 41. The output shaft of the motor 42 and the other end of the threaded tube 3 are controlled by the controller to control the motor 42 to drive the threaded tube 3 to rotate forward and reverse, thereby controlling the nozzle body 1 to rotate in and out of the first threaded channel 21. A thread is provided on the end of the guide rod 41 away from the sleeve 2, and a limit block is threadedly connected to the threaded section of the guide rod 41, and the limit block can prevent the motor 42 from falling off the guide rod 41.

[0042] In order to improve the intelligent control of the ice compress time by the therapeutic apparatus, the time is set on the controller of the motor 42, for example, the time is set to 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the controller drives the motor 42 to work.

[0043] In some embodiments, after reaching the above-set ice compress time node, the rotation angle of the output shaft of the motor 42 is controlled so that after reaching the set ice compress time node, the motor 42 can drive the nozzle body 1 to move in stages. For example, when the above-set ice compress time is 10 minutes, an ice compress time is first set to 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, the motor 42 rotates to make the nozzle body 1 rise to a certain height position, away from the affected area by a certain distance. At the same time, a part of the nozzle nozzle 11 in the threaded groove 12 is closed by the threaded protrusion 211, thereby reducing the spraying amount of cold air, and then to the set ten minutes. After that, the motor 42 rotates again to make the nozzle body 1 rise to a certain height position again, and the distance between the nozzle body 1 and the affected part is increased again. At the same time, more nozzle nozzles 11 in the threaded groove 12 are closed by the threaded protrusions 211, and the spraying amount of cold air is reduced again. Through such a design, the ice compress time and the spraying amount of atomized cold air can be controlled in stages, and the patient's affected part can be treated with staged ice compress treatment, so that the affected part can be gradually exposed to the atomized cold air, thereby preventing the patient from being uncomfortable or even injured by ice compresses at relatively low temperatures, relatively close distances, and with relatively large amounts of cold air.

[0044] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the refrigeration component 6 includes: a refrigeration main unit 61 and a container 62. The refrigeration main unit 61 has a refrigeration box with an opening on one side, and refrigeration components are arranged on the inner wall. The refrigeration main unit 61 is connected to an external power supply for operation; the container 62 is used to contain an ice-water mixture, and is equipped with a temperature sensor for monitoring the temperature inside the container 62. The container 62 is sealed and assembled to the inside of the refrigeration main unit 61 through the opening, and a water injection port 621 and a water outlet 622 are provided on one side of the container 62. The water outlet 622 is connected to the pump body through a pipeline, and the output end of the pump body is connected to the other end of the hose 7. Water is injected into the container 62, and the temperature of the water in the container 62 is controlled by the refrigeration main unit 61. When the water in the container reaches the set temperature, the water is transported to the nozzle body 1 through the pump body and sprayed out through the nozzle nozzle 11.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, since the nozzle body 1 and the sleeve 2 and other components of this embodiment have a large mass, it is difficult to firmly fix the position of the nozzle body 1 through the shaping tube. Therefore, in order to facilitate the adjustment and fixation of the position of the nozzle body 1 in this embodiment, the connecting assembly 5 includes: a first supporting plate 54, a fan-shaped plate 52 and a buckle 51. The first supporting plate 54 is vertically arranged, and a slide rail is provided on the first supporting plate 54 along its height direction, and a slider 53 is slidably provided in the slide rail; the horizontal end of the fan-shaped plate 52 is hinged to the slider 53 through a rotating shaft, so that the fan-shaped plate 52 is turned up and down along the rotating shaft, and an arc groove 521 is provided on the plate surface of the fan-shaped plate 52 close to the arc surface; the buckle 51 includes: a clamping head and a clamping seat, the clamping head slides on the arc groove 521, and the clamping seat is connected to the sleeve 2. The adjustment of the nozzle body 1 in the height direction is completed by sliding the slider 53, and the angle orientation of the nozzle body 1 is controlled by sliding the buckle 51 in the arc groove 521 and rotating the rotating shaft.

[0046] In some embodiments, a receiving groove is opened inward on the side of the workbench, and the connecting component 5 also includes a second supporting plate 55, which slides in the receiving groove, and one end of the second supporting plate 55 is connected to the plate surface of the first supporting plate 54 away from the sleeve 2. In this way, the patient does not need to stay close to the workbench. By pulling out the second supporting plate 55 from the receiving groove, even if the patient is relatively far away from the workbench, the nozzle body 1 can be brought close to the patient's affected area, and adjusted to the optimal ice spray position and angle through the above-mentioned slider 53, fan-shaped plate 52 and rotating shaft.

[0047] The above disclosures are only several preferred specific embodiments of the present invention. However, the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
