Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical instruments, and in particular to a self-controllable portable medical ice cap. Background Art

[0002] A medical ice cap is a special device used in the medical field. It transfers a cooling medium (such as ice cubes, ice water or cooling gel, etc.) into the ice cap through physical cooling, thereby lowering the temperature of the patient's head. Cooling can reduce the metabolic rate of brain tissue and alleviate brain damage, especially after brain surgery or brain trauma.

[0003] However, existing ice caps cannot adapt to the head shapes of different patients, resulting in the patient's head being unable to fully fit the contact surface of the ice cap, affecting the head cooling effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing ice cap, which is unable to adapt to the head shapes of different patients and has poor adaptability, and is easy to cause harm to patients when there are scars on the patient's head, and has poor practicality, the present invention provides a self-controllable portable medical ice cap.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: a self-controllable portable medical ice cap, including an ice cap; also including a connector, a separator, a cold conduction plate and a circulation component; a connector is fixedly connected to the ice cap, and the connector is connected to an external refrigerator; a separator is fixedly connected inside the ice cap; a number of separation cavities are formed between the separator and the ice cap; a cold conduction plate is connected to the lower side of each separation cavity, and the bottom of the cold conduction plate is arranged in an arc shape; a circulation component for guiding the circulation of cold air is provided on the connector.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the circulation component includes an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe; an air inlet groove is opened in the middle of the connecting head, and the air inlet groove is connected to the air outlet of the external refrigerator; a plurality of air inlet pipes are fixedly connected to the connecting head; the air inlet groove is connected to the corresponding separation chamber through the corresponding air inlet pipe; an air outlet groove is opened in the connecting head, and the air outlet groove is connected to the air inlet of the external refrigerator; a plurality of air outlet pipes are also fixedly connected to the connecting head; the air outlet groove is connected to the corresponding separation chamber through the corresponding air outlet pipe; each first air inlet pipe and air outlet pipe is respectively provided with a solenoid valve, and the corresponding solenoid valve is opened or closed by the control system.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the separation blocks are all made of heat-insulating materials.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a fixing portion made of plush material is provided on the lower side of the ice cap, and a Velcro is provided on the rear side of the fixing portion.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a wearing rope is provided on the fixing portion.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a plurality of convex balls are provided on the lower side of each cooling plate.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, an elastic membrane is also included; an elastic membrane is provided between each cooling plate and the partition block.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, it also includes a warning light; a plurality of warning lights are fixedly connected to the upper side of the ice cap.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, each elastic membrane is provided with a plurality of air holes.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The ice cap is divided into eight separate chambers, that is, eight treatment areas, by the dividing blocks. Therefore, when a scar is formed on the patient's head after surgery, the medical staff or the patient can connect to the control system in the ice cap through the mobile phone APP, and then the patient can find the corresponding separation chamber position according to the scar position, and then close the solenoid valve in the air intake pipe connected to the separation chamber through the mobile phone APP, so that the cold air will not enter the separation chamber, and the cold conduction plate on the lower side of the separation chamber will not contact the patient's scalp, thereby realizing the function of the ice cap to perform cooling treatment on the local area of ​​the patient's head through this method, and the medical staff and the patient can control the external refrigerator and adjust the cooling temperature through the mobile phone APP; thus, the adaptability and practicality of the ice cap are greatly improved;

[0016] When the elastic membrane stretches downward, the vents will open, and the cold air in the partition cavity will flow out through the vents. At this time, the cold air in the surrounding partition cavities can flow into the scar area through the vents, thereby preventing the cold conduction plate from contacting the scar area while providing cooling treatment for the scar area.

[0032] A fixing part 1001 made of plush material is provided on the lower side of the ice cap 1, and a Velcro 1002 is provided on the rear side of the fixing part 1001. The fixing part 1001 made of plush material can keep the patient's ears and back of the head warm, preventing frostbite on the ears and back of the head, which are sensitive to cold, and causing harm to the patient.

[0033] The fixing portion 1001 is provided with a wearing rope 1003 , which is made of elastic material.

[0034] A plurality of convex balls 10801 are provided on the lower side of each cooling plate 108 , and the convex balls 10801 are made of gel material.

[0035] An elastic membrane 107 is also included; an elastic membrane 107 is provided between each cooling plate 108 and the partition block 106 .

[0036] It also includes a warning light 105; two warning lights 105 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the ice cap 1, one of which is a red warning light that is always on when the ice cap 1 is in working condition; the other is a yellow warning light that flashes after the ice cap 1 finishes working.

[0037] It also includes a protective pad 104; two protective pads 104 are fixedly connected to the ice cap 1, and the protective pads 104 are made of plush material; after the ice cap 1 is worn, the two protective pads 104 fit against the temples of the head to prevent the temples from being exposed to cold and causing harm to the patient's health.

[0038] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0039] First, Figure 1The ice cap 1 is worn on the head by the patient, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1002 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1003 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1004 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1005 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1006 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1007 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1008 ...6 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1007 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1008 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1008 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1008 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective film 1008 which is fixed to the patient's head, and the patient's head is covered with a protective Figure 3 As shown: the medical staff connects the external cooler to the connector 101; at this time, the air inlet groove 10101 is connected to the air outlet of the external cooler; the air outlet groove 10102 is connected to the air inlet of the external cooler; then the medical staff starts the external cooler, and the cold air will enter each partition cavity 10601 from the air inlet groove 10101, and transfer the cold air to the cold conduction plate 108, and then cool the patient's scalp through the gel pad on the lower side of the cold conduction plate 108; then the air inlet of the external cooler will generate a suction force, and then the hot air generated after the cold and heat exchange in the partition cavity 10601 will be sucked out of the partition cavity 10601, thereby realizing the cold air circulation in the partition cavity 10601; and the ice cap 1 and the partition block 106 are made of heat-insulating material, which can effectively prevent the loss of cold air in the ice cap 1, improve the cooling effect, and thus improve the treatment effect of the ice cap 1 on the patient's scalp; and the ice cap 1 is light in weight and easy to wear, which greatly improves the comfort of the patient when using it;

[0040] Furthermore, when a patient undergoes surgery on his head, scars will form on his head. When the ice cap 1 is used for cooling treatment, the gel pad will come into contact with the scar too much, which will easily pull the scar and cause scar rupture, thereby causing damage to the scar area of ​​the patient. Therefore, the patient can connect to the control system in the ice cap 1 through the mobile phone APP, and then Figure 4As shown: In the initial state, the elastic membrane 107 is in a contracted state. Therefore, when the patient wears the ice cap 1, the cold conduction plate 108 is not in contact with the patient's scalp. When the cold air enters the separation chamber 10601, the air pressure in the separation chamber 10601 increases, thereby squeezing the cold conduction plate 108. The elastic membrane 107 is pulled downward after being compressed, thereby driving the cold conduction plate 108 to move downward, and then the gel pad on the lower side of the cold conduction plate 108 will come into contact with the patient's scalp, thereby performing cooling treatment on the patient's scalp. Although the existing technology will set the cold conduction plate 108 to be arc-shaped, it cannot fully adapt to the head shape of each patient. After the elastic membrane 107 is set, the cold conduction plate 108 will be squeezed downward by the gas, thereby making the gel pad on the lower side of the cold conduction plate 108 fit the patient's head and produce cooling treatment on the patient's head. The gel pad is deformed to adapt to the shape of each patient's head, which greatly improves the contact effect between the gel pad and the patient's head, thereby improving the subsequent cooling treatment effect; at the same time, when the patient's head scar has not healed, the patient can find the corresponding separation chamber 10601 position according to the scar position, and then remotely close the solenoid valve in the air intake pipe 102 connected to the separation chamber 10601, and then the cold air will not enter the separation chamber 10601, and the cold guide plate 108 on the lower side of the separation chamber 10601 will not move down and contact the patient's scalp, thereby realizing the function of the ice cap 1 to perform cooling treatment on the local area of ​​the patient's head through this method, and both medical staff and patients can control the external refrigerator through the mobile phone APP to adjust the cooling temperature; greatly improving the adaptability and practicality of the ice cap 1;

[0041] Furthermore, two warning lights 105 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the ice cap 1, one of which is a red warning light that is always on when the ice cap 1 is in working condition; the other is a yellow warning light that flashes after the ice cap 1 finishes working; when the ice cap 1 is performing cooling treatment, the red warning light flashes, thereby alerting the family members or medical staff nearby to prevent them from interrupting the cooling treatment of the ice cap 1; when encountering some patients with difficulty in operating their hands and feet, after the cooling treatment of the ice cap 1 is completed, the yellow warning light will continue to flash, prompting the medical staff that the cooling treatment is over and to remove the ice cap 1 as soon as possible, thereby avoiding excessive cooling treatment from causing harm to the patient.

[0042] On the basis of the above technical effects, the present invention also has the following advantages:

[0043] The fixing portion 1001 is provided with a wearing rope 1003. When the patient's head is small and it is difficult to fix the ice cap 1 with the Velcro 1002 alone, the patient can wear the wearing rope 1003 to the chin to improve the fixing effect of the ice cap 1 and prevent the ice cap 1 from falling off the patient's head during use.

[0044] Each cooling plate 108 is provided with a plurality of convex balls 10801 on its underside. When the cooling plate 108 contacts the patient's scalp, the convex balls 10801 massage the patient's scalp, thereby improving the patient's comfort during cooling treatment. The convex balls 10801 are made of gel material and are soft and comfortable.

[0045] The protective pads 104 are made of plush material. After the ice cap 1 is put on, the two protective pads 104 fit the temples of the head to prevent the temples from being exposed to cold and causing harm to the patient's health.

[0046] Example 2

[0047] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 4 and 5 As shown, each elastic membrane 107 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 10701 .

[0048] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0049] In the embodiment 1, the elastic membrane 107 is provided to control part of the cold conduction plate 108 to contact with the patient's scalp when the patient is undergoing cooling treatment, thereby realizing the function of the ice cap 1 to perform cooling treatment on a local area of ​​the patient's head, and avoiding causing damage to the patient's scar area: although it is necessary to avoid excessive contact between the patient's scar area and external objects, the patient's scar area also needs cooling treatment; it is just necessary to avoid excessive contact between the scar and the gel pad on the lower side of the cold conduction plate 108; therefore, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown: when the elastic membrane 107 stretches downward, the air vent 10701 will open, so the cold air in the partition cavity 10601 will flow out through the air vent 10701. At this time, the cold air in the peripheral partition cavity 10601 can flow into the scar area through the air vent 10701, thereby preventing the cold conduction plate 108 from contacting the scar area while performing cooling treatment on the scar area.

Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly.
