Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular to a soundproofing device for protecting critically ill patients from sleeping. Background Art

[0002] Sleep disorders are one of the more common problems for patients during hospitalization, with an incidence rate of 14%-50%, especially for critically ill patients and elderly patients in the hospital ICU ward. Their sleep problems are caused by the severity of the disease itself, the ICU environment, and the sleep disorders before the illness. Since the ICU ward is for critically ill patients and elderly patients, the treatment volume is large. The sources of these noises include the operating noise and alarm noise generated by various monitoring instruments, the groaning and snoring of other patients, the communication sounds of medical staff during regular observation of the condition or handover, etc. All kinds of noises in the ward affect the patient's sleep. The specific manifestations of patients are reduced sleep quality, insufficient sleep time, severe fragmentation of sleep, circadian rhythm disorders, etc., and "pathological awakening" and "atypical sleep" unique to ICU patients. As a result, many patients have problems such as treatment interference, disease induction, increased incidence of delirium, etc., which affect the patient's mental health and induce anxiety and other negative emotions. Because various noise sources in ICU wards cannot be avoided, the suggestions and requirements of the majority of patients and their families should be taken seriously. Improving the environment of ICU wards and the sleep conditions of patients is important for actively treating primary critical diseases and promoting the early recovery of critically ill patients. Under existing technical conditions, providing patients with sleep protection and sound insulation devices has become one of the important measures to ensure the quality of patients' sleep. Summary of the invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a sleep protection sound insulation device for critically ill patients. The device is worn on the patient's ears and has the characteristics of simple structure, easy use, and reducing the intensity of noise waves by changing the sound transmission channel area of ​​the ear.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a sleep protection sound insulation device for critically ill patients, including a sound transmission tube with openings at both ends and a screw, the inner hole wall of the sound transmission tube is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed through sound transmission grooves, the screw is connected to the inner hole of the sound transmission tube through a thread, and a knob with a diameter larger than the left port of the sound transmission tube is provided at the left end of the screw, the right part of the sound transmission tube is located in the ear canal, and the sound transmission intensity of the sound transmission tube is changed by adjusting the distance between the knob and the left port of the sound transmission tube.

[0005] In the above-mentioned sound insulation device for protecting critically ill patients from sleep, the outer diameter of the right part of the sound transmission tube is smaller than the outer diameter of the left part, and the left part of the sound transmission tube is blocked outside the ear canal.

[0006] The above-mentioned soundproofing device for protecting sleep of critically ill patients also includes a plastic washer, which is located on the right end surface of the knob and is sleeved on the screw.

[0007] In the above-mentioned sound insulation device for protecting critically ill patients from sleep, an elastic plastic wrapping layer is provided on the outer periphery of the left portion of the sound transmission tube.

[0008] In the above-mentioned soundproofing device for protecting sleep of critically ill patients, the left end face of the knob is provided with scale lines in the circumferential direction and an indicator showing the original position of the knob, and a cross-shaped groove is also provided at the center of the knob for easy adjustment with a screwdriver.

[0009] The present invention provides a sleep protection soundproofing device for critically ill patients, which comprises a sound transmission tube with openings at both ends and a screw. The inner hole wall of the sound transmission tube is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed through sound transmission grooves. The screw is connected to the inner hole of the sound transmission tube through a thread. A knob with a diameter larger than the left port of the sound transmission tube is provided at the left end of the screw. The right part of the sound transmission tube is located in the ear canal. The sound transmission intensity of the sound transmission tube can be changed by adjusting the distance between the knob and the left port of the sound transmission tube.

[0010] Its beneficial technical effects are: First, because people's hearing sensitivity varies greatly, the device is inserted into the patient's ear canal, and the screw can be turned according to the patient's hearing needs to change the distance between the knob and the left port of the sound tube, adjust the sound transmission intensity of the sound tube, and reduce external noise. The adjustment knob can also completely cover the outer port of the sound transmission groove, completely blocking external noise waves. The degree of coverage determines the level of noise reduction and sound insulation, giving patients a personalized experience. Second, because the ear canal diameter is small, the sound transmission groove is set on the inner hole wall of the sound transmission tube instead of the sound transmission hole, which is convenient for product processing. Third, the indicator mark and scale line on the knob make it convenient for doctors to adjust the original position of the bolt in advance, insert the device into the patient's ear canal and adjust it again, so that elderly patients can obtain appropriate noise reduction effects. The device has a simple structure, is easy to use, and has a significant noise reduction effect. It helps to improve the sleep quality of hospitalized patients and has the characteristics of improving the efficiency of medical operations. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
