[0036] In the description of the invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms such as "installed", "provided with", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0037] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, a tampon 3 of a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 1, and an accommodation space is provided inside the housing 1;
[0038] a medicine storage part 2, which is used for storing traditional Chinese medicine. The medicine storage part 2 is accommodated in the accommodation space and fixedly connected to the housing 1;
[0039] a tampon 3, which is accommodated in the accommodation space and slidably connected to the housing 1. The medicine storage part 2 and the tampon 3 are arranged at intervals in the front-back direction along the extension direction of the housing 1;
[0040] a push rod 4, the tampon 3 and the push rod 4 are arranged at intervals in the front-back direction, and the front end of the push rod 4 abuts against the rear end of the tampon 3;
[0041] a pointed rod 5, which is accommodated in the accommodation space. The pointed rod 5 sequentially passes through the inside of the push rod 4 and the inside of the tampon 3 and is slidably connected to the tampon 3. The pointed rod 5 can be slidably connected to the push rod 4 and slide axially along the tampon 3 to puncture the medicine storage part 2 so that the traditional Chinese medicine inside the medicine storage part 2 infiltrates the tampon 3.
[0042] Based on the above scheme, firstly, Chinese medicine is filled into the medicine storage part 2, and then the tampon 3, the push rod 4, the pointed rod 5 and other components are installed in the accommodation space of the shell 1 according to the design requirements. When the tampon 3 needs to be used, the push rod 4 is pushed to move the tampon 3 forward in the shell 1, and the pointed rod 5 will also move forward, piercing the medicine storage part 2, so that the Chinese medicine inside the medicine storage part 2 flows out and infiltrates the tampon 3. After use, it is judged whether the tampon 3 needs to be replaced by the first cotton thread 6 or by feeling the expansion of the water-absorbing resin on the second cotton thread 7, and then the tampon 3 is taken out of the body. The front end of the push rod 4 abuts against the rear end of the tampon 3. This simple connection method makes it easy to push the tampon 3 to move in the shell 1. The user only needs to gently push the push rod 4 to accurately move the tampon 3 toward the medicine storage part 2, so as to achieve the infiltration of the tampon 3 by the Chinese medicine. The tampon 3 is provided with a medicine storage part 2 for storing Chinese medicine. Through the cooperation of the push rod 4 and the pointed rod 5, the Chinese medicine in the medicine storage part 2 can soak the tampon 3. When used during menstruation, the Chinese medicine can continuously regulate and protect the vaginal environment, inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria, maintain the balance of vaginal flora, thereby effectively reducing the risk of gynecological diseases such as vaginitis, and providing more comprehensive protection for women's health during menstruation.
[0043] Furthermore, the tampon 3 also includes a first cotton thread 6 , which is fixedly connected to one end of the tampon 3 away from the medicine storage portion 2 .
[0044] Based on the above scheme, when using the tampon 3 during menstruation, it is very important for the user to accurately and conveniently remove the tampon 3. The first cotton thread 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the tampon 3 away from the medicine storage part 2, providing a clear point of force for the user. When the tampon 3 needs to be replaced, the user only needs to gently pull the first cotton thread 6 to easily remove the tampon 3 from the vagina, avoiding the discomfort caused by finding the removal position or improper operation, and greatly improving the convenience of use.
[0045] Furthermore, a film is connected to the outer periphery of the first cotton thread 6 .
[0046] Based on the above solution, the film connected to the periphery of the first cotton thread 6 has excellent waterproof performance, weather resistance and elasticity, and will not be dissolved by menstrual blood or traditional Chinese medicine.
[0047] Furthermore, the tampon 3 also includes a second cotton thread 7 , which is fixedly connected to one end of the tampon 3 away from the medicine storage portion 2 , and a water-absorbing resin is fixedly connected to the second cotton thread 7 .
[0048] Based on the above solution, it is a difficult problem for visually impaired women to judge whether the tampon 3 needs to be replaced during menstruation. By setting superabsorbent resin in this tampon 3, when the menstrual blood overflows, the superabsorbent resin will expand, and the user can judge whether replacement is needed by touching and feeling the swelling of the loop line. This design provides great convenience for visually impaired women, enabling them to use the tampon 3 as conveniently as normal women and ensuring their quality of life during menstruation.
[0049] Further preferably, the medicine storage part 2 is wrapped with a PVA water-soluble film to enclose the liquid thermosensitive gel. The thermosensitive gel is liquid in vitro and semi-solid in vivo. It breaks through the bottleneck that traditional semi-solid gels are difficult to uniformly penetrate into the tampon 3. The liquid gel is instantaneously released by puncturing, and with the water absorption of the tampon 3, it can be quickly and uniformly infiltrated, ensuring the consistency of the initial distribution of the medicine. By wrapping the liquid gel with a PVA water-soluble film, the position of the gel is fixed before use, avoiding the aggregation of the liquid caused by the passage of time or the action of gravity, and ensuring the stability before the release of the medicine. After entering the vagina, the thermosensitive gel turns into a semi-solid when encountering body temperature, which is more likely to adhere to the vaginal mucosa than in the liquid form, prolonging the action time of the medicine, achieving uniform absorption, and enhancing the effectiveness and persistence of vaginal drug use.
[0050] Further, the push rod 4 includes a top portion 41, a support portion 42, and a pressing portion 43 that are fixedly connected in sequence. The cross-sectional area of the top portion 41 is larger than that of the support portion 42, and the cross-sectional area of the pressing portion 43 gradually increases from the end close to the support portion 42 to the end far from the support portion 42.
[0051] Based on the above solution, since the cross-sectional area of the top portion 41 is larger than that of the support portion 42, during the process of the push rod 4 pushing the tampon 3, the top portion 41 has a larger contact area with the rear end of the tampon 3. This enables the push rod 4 to distribute the thrust more evenly on the tampon 3, reducing the possible shaking or offset phenomenon when the tampon 3 moves in the housing 1, and ensuring that the tampon 3 can move stably and accurately along the axial direction of the housing 1.
[0052] Further, a through hole extending axially is provided in the push rod 4, and the through hole sequentially penetrates the top portion 41, the support portion 42, and the pressing portion 43. The first cotton thread 6 and the second cotton thread 7 both pass through the through hole.
[0053] Based on the above solution, since the cotton threads pass through the through hole, during the process of pushing the push rod 4, the cotton threads will not generate unnecessary friction or entanglement in the push rod 4, reducing the discomfort caused by cotton thread problems.
[0054] Further, the support portion 42 includes a plurality of support cavities arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the support portion 42, and a connection cavity is connected between the plurality of support cavities.
[0055] Based on the above scheme, by providing multiple support cavities and connecting cavities, the amount of material used can be reasonably reduced while ensuring the structural strength of the support portion 42. Compared with the traditional solid support portion 42 design, this structure can reduce the weight of the push rod 4 without affecting the performance, and also saves production costs. For mass-produced tampons 3 products, this helps to improve production efficiency and economic benefits.
[0056] Furthermore, the tampon 3 also includes a petal cap 8, which includes a plurality of petal bodies 81, which are smoothly bent inward, and the plurality of petal bodies 81 cooperate to form an outlet, and the outlet is interconnected with the accommodating space, and the plurality of petal bodies 81 are circumferentially spaced and fixedly connected to the front end of the shell 1, so that the tampon 3 can slide through the outlet and detach from the shell 1.
[0057] Based on the above solution, compared with the traditional straight-tube or simple open design, the outlet shape of the petal cap 8 is more in line with the physiological structure of the human body. In the process of the tampon 3 being separated from the shell 1, this smooth outlet design can reduce friction and stimulation, and reduce the discomfort that the user may feel when taking out the tampon 3.
[0058] Furthermore, the tampon 3 also includes a head cap 9 , which covers the top of the petal cap 8 .
[0059] Based on the above solution, the head cap 9 covers the top of the petal cap 8, which can provide an additional protective layer for the tampon 3, effectively preventing external dust, bacteria and other pollutants from entering the interior of the petal cap 8 and the accommodating space where the tampon 3 is located. During the storage and use of the tampon 3, this protective measure can reduce the risk of contamination of the tampon 3 by the external environment, keep the tampon 3 clean and hygienic, and reduce the possibility of gynecological diseases caused by contamination.
[0060] Furthermore, the tampon 3 further includes a force-reinforcing portion 10 , which is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the shell 1 .
[0061] Based on the above solution, the design of the force-applying portion 10 provides a clearer and more comfortable force-applying portion for the user in the process of pushing the tampon 3 forward. When the tampon 3 needs to be pushed into the vagina, the user can hold the force-applying portion 10 to transfer the force to the pushing rod 4, so that the tampon 3 can move more smoothly along the axial direction of the housing 1, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of the operation.
[0062] Furthermore, the force-reinforcing portion 10, the shell 1, and the petal cap 8 are made by an integrated molding process.
[0063] Based on the above solution, the one-piece molding makes the connection between the force-applying part 10, the housing 1 and the petal cap 8 have no obvious gaps or protruding interfaces, avoiding the sense of foreign body caused by these parts during use. The one-piece molding process reduces the assembly process between multiple components, and reduces the complexity and difficulty of production. Compared with the traditional method of manufacturing multiple components separately and then assembling them, the one-piece molding process can complete the production of the force-applying part 10, the housing 1 and the petal cap 8 in one processing, greatly shortening the production cycle and improving production efficiency.
[0064] Further, the tampon 3 is in a honeycomb-structured hollow shape.
[0065] Based on the above solution, the honeycomb-structured hollow design increases the contact area between the tampon 3 and the traditional Chinese medicine gel. When the push rod 4 pushes the tampon 3 to move, so that the traditional Chinese medicine gel in the medicine storage part 2 flows out and infiltrates the tampon 3, more tampon 3 fibers can be in direct contact with the traditional Chinese medicine gel, so that the traditional Chinese medicine can penetrate more fully and evenly into the tampon 3, improving the infiltration effect of the traditional Chinese medicine and ensuring that the tampon 3 can better play its medicinal function during use.
[0066] Further, a meltblown cloth is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the tampon 3.
[0067] Based on the above solution, the meltblown cloth has a soft texture and will not cause obvious friction or irritation when contacting the human skin. When the tampon 3 is placed in the vagina, the meltblown cloth on the outer periphery can provide a more gentle and comfortable contact experience, reducing the discomfort that the user may feel and making the whole use process more comfortable.
[0068] The working process of the present invention is as follows: when the tampon 3 is used, first use the pointed rod 5 to pierce the medicine storage part 2 to make the traditional Chinese medicine infiltrate the tampon 3 with a honeycomb-shaped hollow structure, and then hold the force-applying part 10 and cooperate with the push rod 4 to push the tampon 3 to separate the tampon 3 from the outlet of the petal cap 8 and place it in the vagina to a proper position. During use, when the water-absorbing resin connected by the second cotton thread 7 swells when encountering blood, it can assist in judging the replacement time. When replacing, pull the first cotton thread 6 to take out the tampon 3. The whole process is convenient and can ensure the use experience and hygiene.
[0069] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a tampon 3. First, traditional Chinese medicine is filled into the medicine storage part 2, and then components such as the tampon 3, the push rod 4, and the pointed rod 5 are installed into the accommodation space of the housing 1 according to the design requirements. When the tampon 3 needs to be used, the push rod 4 is pushed, so that the tampon 3 moves forward in the housing 1. At the same time, the pointed rod 5 will also move forward accordingly, piercing the medicine storage part 2, so that the traditional Chinese medicine inside the medicine storage part 2 flows out and wets the tampon 3. After use, it is judged whether the tampon 3 needs to be replaced by observing the swelling of the water-absorbing resin on the first cotton thread 6 or the second cotton thread 7, and then the tampon 3 is taken out from the body. The front end of the push rod 4 abuts against the rear end of the tampon 3. This simple connection method makes it easy to push the tampon 3 to move in the housing 1. The user only needs to gently push the push rod 4 to make the tampon 3 accurately move towards the medicine storage part 2, realizing the wetting of the tampon 3 by the traditional Chinese medicine. The tampon 3 is internally provided with a medicine storage part 2 for storing traditional Chinese medicine. Through the cooperation of the push rod 4 and the pointed rod 5, the traditional Chinese medicine in the medicine storage part 2 can wet the tampon 3. During menstruation, the traditional Chinese medicine can continuously condition and protect the vaginal environment, inhibit the growth and reproduction of harmful bacteria, and maintain the balance of the vaginal flora, thereby effectively reducing the risk of onset of gynecological diseases such as vaginitis and providing more comprehensive protection for the health of women during their physiological period.
[0070] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and replacements can still be made, and these improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
