Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical auxiliary supplies, and particularly to a method for preparing a flexible granular ice pack. Background Art

[0002] An ice pack is a commonly used cold compress product at present. Applying the ice pack to the inflamed and swollen area can reduce pain. However, the current ice pack is a solid block after freezing. Since this solid block cannot be adaptively distorted during use, if the inflamed and swollen area of the user (such as the ankle) is not a flat surface, the current ice pack cannot fully contact the inflamed and swollen area during cold compress, resulting in poor cold compress effect. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for preparing a flexible granular ice pack. The small frozen particles inside can flow adaptively, ensuring that all points of the inflamed and swollen area can be fully contacted with the ice pack, and ensuring good cold compress effect.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A method for preparing a flexible granular ice pack includes the following steps:

[0006] S1 (sheet preparation step): Composite an antifreeze PE film, an aluminum oxide-coated PET film, and a dry paper together to form an inner flexible sheet.

[0007] S2 (forming step): Form the inner flexible sheet into a spherical inner cavity sphere. The inner cavity sphere is filled with a liquid, and the freezing temperature of the liquid is lower than zero degree Celsius, and the diameter of the inner cavity sphere is 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm.

[0008] S3 (bagging step): Prepare an outer flexible sheet into an outer bag body, then place a plurality of inner cavity spheres into the outer bag body, and then seal the bag mouth of the outer bag body.

[0009] In this method for preparing a flexible granular ice pack, the inner flexible sheet is formed into a spherical inner cavity sphere, and the inner cavity sphere is filled with a liquid whose freezing temperature is lower than zero degree Celsius. In this way, when the whole ice pack is placed in the freezer of the refrigerator, the liquid in the inner cavity sphere will freeze to form a number of independent small frozen particles. These small frozen particles can flow inside the outer bag body. When the outer bag body is used for cold compress on the inflamed and swollen area of the user, the small frozen particles inside the outer bag body can flow adaptively, ensuring that all points of the inflamed and swollen area can be fully contacted with the ice pack, and ensuring good cold compress effect.

[0010] Moreover, in this kind of ice bag, the entire inner flexible sheet is composed of a freeze-resistant PE film, an aluminum oxide-coated PET film, and dry paper laminated together. The freeze-resistant PE film is used as the inner wall in contact with the liquid, while the dry paper is used as the outer wall. Since the aluminum oxide-coated PET film has good barrier properties, it can reduce the loss and spoilage of the liquid. The freeze-resistant PE film used as the innermost layer can ensure that the entire inner film sheet has good expansion adaptability, and the dry paper has a certain water absorption capacity and can adsorb the condensed water generated during the initial freezing process, thus preventing the individual inner cavity spheres from freezing together into a lump.

[0011] In summary, in the ice bag prepared by this method, the small frozen particles inside can flow adaptively, ensuring that all points at the inflamed and swollen area can come into full contact with the ice bag, ensuring good cold compress effect.

[0012] Optionally, the freeze-resistant PE film and the aluminum oxide-coated PET film are laminated together through an adhesive layer, and the adhesive layer is located between the freeze-resistant PE film and the aluminum oxide-coated PET film. The dry paper layer and the aluminum oxide-coated PET film are laminated together through a casting resin layer, and the casting resin layer is located between the dry paper layer and the aluminum oxide-coated PET film.

[0013] Specifically, the resin in the casting resin layer includes but is not limited to PE resin.

[0014] Optionally, the thickness of the freeze-resistant PE film is 50 microns, the thickness of the aluminum oxide-coated PET film is 15 microns, the thickness of the dry paper is 80 microns, the thickness of the adhesive layer is 2 microns, and the thickness of the casting resin layer is 15 microns.

[0015] Optionally, in the forming step, there are a first pressing roller and a second pressing roller. Both the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller are cylindrical. A number of semi-spherical grooves are provided on the outer walls of the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller. A number of heat-sealing pressing plates are provided on the first pressing roller, and a number of heat-sealing cutting knives are provided on the second pressing roller. When the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller rotate, two inner flexible sheets are hot-pressed together to form an open spherical cavity. After injecting liquid into the open spherical cavity, the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller further rotate, and the opening of the spherical cavity is closed and cut into independent inner cavity spheres.

[0016] Optionally, the heat-sealing pressing plates are distributed on both sides of the grooves, the heat-sealing cutting knives are distributed on both sides of the grooves, and the number of heat-sealing pressing plates is equal to the number of heat-sealing cutting knives.

[0017] Optionally, the volume of the inner cavity spheres accounts for 70% - 80% of the outer bag body.

[0018] Optionally, the outer flexible sheet includes an OPP film or a PE film.

[0019] The specific outer flexible sheet includes, but is not limited to, OPP film or PE film.

[0020] Optionally, the liquid includes a saturated salt solution or an alcohol solution.

[0021] The saturated salt solution and the alcohol solution have good fluidity and are more likely to undergo adaptive deformation. Therefore, a saturated salt solution or an alcohol solution is used to replace the liquid freezing resin in this ice bag.

[0022] Optionally, the diameters of the inner cavity spheres in the outer bag body are equal or unequal.

[0023] The beneficial effect of the present invention is that the small frozen particles located inside can undergo adaptive flow, ensuring that all points at the inflamed and swollen area can be in full contact with the ice bag, ensuring good cold compress effect.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] A method for preparing the flexible granular ice bag as shown in Example 1, in combination with Attached Figure 2 , Attached Figure 3 , Attached Figure 4 and Attached Figure 5 as shown,

[0039] A method for preparing a flexible granular ice bag, comprising the following steps,

[0040] S1 (sheet production step), laminating the anti-freezing PE film 11, the aluminum oxide-coated PET film 13 and the dry paper 15 together to form an inner flexible sheet 101; wherein the anti-freezing PE film 11 and the aluminum oxide-coated PET film 13 are laminated together through an adhesive layer 12, and the adhesive layer 12 is located between the anti-freezing PE film 11 and the aluminum oxide-coated PET film 13, and the dry paper 15 layer and the aluminum oxide-coated PET film 13 are laminated together through a casting resin layer 14, and the casting resin layer 14 is located between the dry paper 15 layer and the aluminum oxide-coated PET film 13. The thickness of the anti-freezing PE film 11 is 50 microns, the thickness of the aluminum oxide-coated PET film 13 is 15 microns, the thickness of the dry paper 15 is 80 microns, the thickness of the adhesive layer 12 is 2 microns, and the thickness of the casting resin layer 14 is 15 microns. The resin in the specific casting resin layer 14 includes but is not limited to PE resin.

[0041] S2 (Forming Step): The inner flexible sheet 101 is formed into a spherical inner cavity sphere. The inner cavity sphere is filled with a liquid 10, and the freezing temperature of the liquid 10 is lower than zero degree Celsius, and the diameter of the inner cavity sphere is 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm. The forming step includes a first pressing roller 301 and a second pressing roller 302. Both the first pressing roller 301 and the second pressing roller 302 are cylindrical. In this step, the mutually fitting first pressing roller 301 and second pressing roller 302 are required. The two inner flexible sheets 101 are roll-pressed and formed by the first pressing roller 301 and the second pressing roller 302. A number of semi-spherical grooves are provided on the outer walls of the first pressing roller 301 and the second pressing roller 302. A number of heat-sealing pressing plates 501 are provided on the first pressing roller 301, and a number of heat-sealing cutting knives 502 are provided on the second pressing roller 302. When the first pressing roller 301 and the second pressing roller 302 rotate, the two inner flexible sheets 101 are heat-pressed together to form an open spherical cavity. The outer wall of the spherical cavity is closely attached to the groove walls on both sides. After injecting the liquid 10 into the open spherical cavity, the first pressing roller 301 and the second pressing roller 302 further rotate, and the opening of the spherical cavity is closed and cut into an independent inner cavity sphere, while the remaining inner flexible sheet 101 forms waste 102. The heat-sealing pressing plates 501 are distributed on both sides of the groove, and the heat-sealing cutting knives 502 are distributed on both sides of the groove. The number of the heat-sealing pressing plates 501 is equal to the number of the heat-sealing cutting knives 502. When the two inner flexible sheets are closely attached together and clamped between the heat-sealing cutting knives and the heat-sealing pressing plates,

[0042] S3 (Bagging Step): The outer flexible sheet is prepared into an outer bag body 2, and then a number of inner cavity spheres are placed in the outer bag body, and then the bag mouth of the outer bag body is closed.

[0043] In this method for preparing a flexible granular ice bag, the inner flexible sheet 101 is formed into a spherical inner cavity sphere, and the inner cavity sphere is filled with a liquid 10 whose freezing temperature is lower than zero degree Celsius. In this way, when the whole ice bag is placed in the freezer of a refrigerator, the liquid 10 in the inner cavity sphere will freeze to form a number of independent small frozen particles. These small frozen particles can flow in the outer bag body 2. When the outer bag body 2 is cold-compressed on the inflamed and swollen area of a user, the small frozen particles in the outer bag body 2 can flow adaptively, ensuring that each point on the inflamed and swollen area can be in full contact with the ice bag, and ensuring a good cold-compress effect.

[0044] Moreover, in this kind of ice bag, the entire inner flexible sheet 101 is composed of a freeze-resistant PE film 11, an aluminum oxide-coated PET film 13, and a dry paper 15. The freeze-resistant PE film 11 is used as the inner wall in contact with the liquid 10, and the dry paper 15 is used as the outer wall. Since the aluminum oxide-coated PET film 13 has good barrier properties, the loss and spoilage of the liquid 10 can be reduced. The freeze-resistant PE film 11 used as the innermost layer can ensure that the entire inner film sheet has good expansion adaptability, and the dry paper 15 has a certain water absorption capacity and can adsorb the condensed water generated during the initial freezing process, thus preventing the individual inner cavity spheres from freezing together into a lump.

[0045] The salt solution and the alcohol solution have good fluidity and are more likely to undergo adaptive deformation. Therefore, a saturated salt solution or an alcohol solution is used to replace the liquid freezing resin in this kind of ice bag.

[0046] As a variant implementation, the diameters of the individual inner cavity spheres in the outer bag body 2 are equal or unequal.

[0047] The above-described embodiments only represent some embodiments of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
