Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nursing equipment, and in particular to an anti-hair loss cooling cap for tumor radiotherapy and a method of using the cap. Background Art

[0002] A tumor is a neoplasm formed by the proliferation of localized tissue cells in response to various tumorigenic factors. There are many different types of tumors, each with varying properties and types, affecting different tissues and organs, progressing at different stages, and responding differently to various treatments. Therefore, most patients require comprehensive treatment. Comprehensive treatment involves combining surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy based on the patient's physical condition, tumor pathology, and extent of invasion, with the goal of significantly increasing cure rates and improving the patient's quality of life.

[0003] While comprehensive treatments can save patients' lives, they inevitably produce various side effects, such as hair loss in cancer patients after chemotherapy. Hair loss is a common symptom after chemotherapy, and the latest medical research suggests that chemotherapy patients can wear an ice cap during chemotherapy to combat hair loss. The cap keeps the patient's scalp temperature below 15°C, causing the blood vessels near the hair roots to contract rapidly, reducing the absorption of chemotherapy drugs by hair follicles and minimizing damage to the scalp and hair.

[0004] Therefore, in the prior art, the authorization announcement number (CN110269738B) discloses an anti-hair loss cooling cap used in tumor chemotherapy. During the process of injecting low-temperature cold water into the interlayer space, the cap can automatically massage the patient's scalp facing the cold water injection position through the massage part to avoid frostbite caused by too low blood circulation speed in the scalp.

[0005] Based on the existing technology, it is found that due to the complex structure of the hat, the number of components increases, which in turn increases the pressure on the patient's head, easily causing discomfort to the patient, which is not conducive to improving the patient's usage experience. Therefore, the present invention proposes an anti-hair loss cooling cap for tumor radiotherapy and a method of use thereof to solve the problems existing in the existing technology. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to propose an anti-hair loss cooling cap for tumor radiotherapy and a method of use thereof.

[0009] A further improvement is that the support frame includes an upper circular block and a lower extension ring, the upper circular block and the lower extension ring are connected by an elastic strip, the elastic strip is arranged in an arc shape, and the elastic strips are evenly arranged in several groups.

[0010] A further improvement is that the heat dissipation component includes a thermally conductive patch, which is provided in several groups and on which heat dissipation fins are installed, a thermally conductive column is installed at the lower end of the thermally conductive patch, which is provided in several groups, and the thermally conductive column passes through the cap body and is located in the first cavity.

[0011] A further improvement is that the thickness of the inner wall of the cap body at the position corresponding to the wearing cavity is smaller than the thickness of the inner wall of the cap body.

[0012] A further improvement is that a display screen is installed on the outer side of the cap body, a temperature sensor is installed on the cap body, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the display screen, and a monitoring end of the temperature sensor is located in the second cavity.

[0027] In order to deepen the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the examples. The examples are only used to explain the present invention and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Radiotherapy is a localized treatment method that uses radiation to treat tumors. It can be used as a direct or adjuvant treatment for cancer. It can be combined with surgery to ensure complete resection while reducing the possibility of recurrence. Radiotherapy can also be used in conjunction with immunotherapy to improve the treatment efficacy of malignant tumors and reduce the risk of metastasis and recurrence.

[0029] During radiotherapy, side effects may occur, one of which is hair loss. However, the latest medical research shows that chemotherapy patients can wear an ice cap during chemotherapy to deal with hair loss caused by chemotherapy. The ice cap can keep the patient's scalp temperature below 15°C, causing the blood vessels near the hair roots to contract rapidly, reducing the degree of chemotherapy drugs absorbed by the hair follicles and thus reducing damage to the scalp and hair.

[0030] Therefore, the purpose of the cooling cap is to reduce the side effects of hair loss as much as possible and bring a better experience to the patient. Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment proposes an anti-hair loss cooling cap for tumor radiotherapy, including a cap body 1, a wearing cavity provided on the inner side of the cap body 1, and a support frame 2 installed on the inner side of the wearing cavity. In this embodiment, the wearing cavity is used to contact the patient's head, that is, the cap body 1 fits the patient's head. As for the support frame 2, the support frame 2 includes an upper round block 14 and a lower extension ring 15. The upper round block 14 and the lower extension ring 15 are connected by an elastic strip 16. The elastic strip 16 is arranged in an arc shape, and the elastic strip 16 is evenly arranged in several groups. In this embodiment, the elastic strip 16 is evenly arranged in six groups. In this embodiment, the portion of the cap body 1 corresponding to the wearing cavity is made of waterproof cloth. When in contact with the patient's head, its supporting force is insufficient. Therefore, the support stability connected to the patient's head is improved by providing the support frame 2. At the same time, it will not affect the massage effect of this anti-hair loss cooling cap.

[0031] The cap body 1 is provided with a first cavity 3 and a second cavity 4, and the first cavity 3 and the second cavity 4 are connected through a connecting port 5. Figure 1As shown, the communication port 5 is arranged in the upper part of the cap body 1. Since the present device adopts a water circulation method to cool the patient's head, the position of the communication port 5 can effectively prevent the water in the second cavity 4 from being completely drained, and the remaining water can have a certain cooling effect on the head. Furthermore, a drain port 22 and a water inlet 23 are respectively installed on both sides of the cap body 1. The positions of the drain port 22 and the water inlet 23 correspond to the positions of the first cavity 3. During operation, external water first enters from the second cavity 4, enters the first cavity 3 through the communication port 5, and is then discharged through the drain port 22.

[0032] A heat dissipation component is installed on the cap body 1, and the position of the heat dissipation component corresponds to the first cavity 3. The heat dissipation component includes a thermally conductive patch 17, and the thermally conductive patch 17 is provided in several groups. Heat dissipation fins 18 are installed on the thermally conductive patch 17. A thermally conductive column 19 is installed at the lower end of the thermally conductive patch 17, and the thermally conductive column 19 is provided in several groups. The thermally conductive column 19 passes through the cap body 1 and is located in the first cavity 3. This device is mainly used to cool the patient's head. Therefore, the heat dissipation and cooling of the device can be enhanced to a certain extent by setting the heat dissipation component.

[0033] An arc-shaped spray rack 6 is installed on the inner side of the second cavity 4, and the arc-shaped spray rack 6 is connected to the cap body 1 through a rotating assembly. A water spray port 7 is provided on the arc-shaped spray rack 6, and the water spray port 7 is evenly provided in several groups. In this embodiment, the water spray port 7 is evenly provided in eleven groups. A water delivery inner cavity is provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped spray rack 6, and the water delivery inner cavity is connected to the water spray port 7. Therefore, in this device, the water flow sprayed by the water spray port 7 (the direction of its spraying corresponds to the position of the wearing cavity) is transmitted to the patient's head through the cap body 1. Therefore, this device can use the water spray impact method to massage the patient's head.

[0034] Correspondingly, the rotating assembly includes an outer fixing ring 10, the inner side of which is connected to the upper end of the arc-shaped spray frame 6 through a bearing, and the outer fixing ring 10 is fixedly connected to the cap body 1. In this embodiment, the upper end of the arc-shaped spray frame 6 is cylindrical, and the outer side of the upper end of the arc-shaped spray frame 6 is provided with a gear ring 11. The inner side of the gear ring 11 is connected to the arc-shaped spray frame 6 through a connecting column 12. The connecting column 12 is provided with several groups. In this embodiment, the connecting column 12 is evenly provided with six groups. An electric motor 13 is installed on the cap body 1. The output end of the electric motor 13 passes through the cap body 1 and is engaged with the gear ring 11 through a gear. When working, the electric motor 13 is started, which drives the arc-shaped spray frame 6 to rotate by driving the gear ring 11 to rotate, and then the area covered by the massage can be raised by rotation. At the same time, the design of the arc-shaped spray frame 6 can better adapt to the range of the patient's head.

[0035] A connecting seat 8 is installed above the cap body 1, and a connecting pipe 9 is installed on the connecting seat 8. One end of the connecting pipe 9 extends to the inner side of the arc-shaped spray frame 6, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, a connecting piece 25 is installed on the outside of the connecting pipe 9, and the connecting piece 25 is connected to the connecting seat 8 by a threaded connection. After the connection, the connecting pipe 9 is directly connected to the inner cavity of the arc-shaped spray rack 6, so the external cooling water can directly enter the arc-shaped spray rack 6.

[0036] The thickness of the inner wall of the cap body 1 at the location corresponding to the wearing cavity is smaller than that of the cap body itself. When the cap is worn by a patient, the pressure of the water sprayed from the water outlet 7 is directly transmitted to the patient's head through the cap body 1. Accordingly, an elastic strap 24 is mounted at the lower end of the cap body 1. When worn, the lower portion of the elastic strap 24 passes under the patient's chin, securing the cap in place.

[0037] A display screen 20 is mounted on the outside of the cap body 1. A temperature sensor 21 is mounted on the cap body 1 and is electrically connected to the display screen 20. The detection end of the temperature sensor 21 is located in the second cavity 4. The temperature sensor 21 detects the temperature of the liquid in the second cavity 4 and displays the temperature on the display screen 20. Taking the expected target liquid temperature of 15°C as an example, when the temperature of the liquid in the second cavity 4 rises abnormally, that is, exceeds the target liquid temperature, a range of values ​​exceeding the target value is preset, taking 5°C as an example. When the temperature exceeds the target liquid temperature, that is, ≥20°C, the output of the external circulating water device is shut off and the input of the external water supply device is turned on. At this time, a large amount of external water enters. Compared with the water sprayed from the water nozzle 7, the water circulation speed is accelerated, thereby improving the cooling effect.

[0038] A method for using a hair loss prevention cooling cap for tumor radiotherapy, comprising the following steps:

[0039] Step 1: Put the cap 1 on the patient's head and use the elastic strap 24 to secure it;

[0040] Step 2: Connect the connecting pipe 9 and the drain port 22 to the output end and input end of the external circulating water device respectively, connect the water inlet 23 to the output end of the external water supply device, then start the external circulating water device to supply water, the water is sprayed out through the arc-shaped spray rack 6, and then the water is recovered from the drain port 22 (the recovered water still enters the external circulating water device), so that the flow of water circulation can achieve a cooling effect;

[0041] Step 3: Start the electric motor 13 to put the arc-shaped spray rack 6 into a rotating state.

[0042] When the temperature of the liquid in the cap body 1 rises abnormally, the output of the external circulating water device is closed and the input of the external water supply device is opened. At this time, a large amount of external water enters. Compared with the spraying of the water nozzle 7, the water circulation speed is faster, thereby improving its cooling effect.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the foregoing embodiments.
