Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, and particularly to a hyperthermia steam tumor rehabilitation device. Background Art

[0002] The background art of hyperthermia steam tumor treatment stems from long-term research on the application of high temperature in the medical field. As a traditional physical therapy method, hyperthermia has been used to relieve pain and promote recovery since ancient times. Modern medical research shows that cancer cells are more sensitive to high temperature, while normal tissues can tolerate within a certain temperature range, which provides a theoretical basis for the application of hyperthermia in tumor treatment. By heating the tumor site or the whole body to 40 - 45°C, hyperthermia can directly destroy cancer cells or enhance the effect of other cancer-inhibiting means, while promoting local blood circulation and immune response.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, the patent publication number CN114366625A discloses a hyperthermia steam type tumor care and treatment device, which can quickly disperse steam through a dispersion device; the patent publication number CN213553639U discloses a vibrating hyperthermia steam tumor care device, which improves the comfort of patients through an integrated massage bed. However, tumors can occur in any part of the body, and the contour appearances of body parts such as the abdomen, chest, and arm are different. Therefore, a hyperthermia steam tumor rehabilitation device that can adapt to steam hyperthermia of different parts of patients is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a hyperthermia steam tumor rehabilitation device, which is used to adapt to different patient parts through multi-joint, multi-channel, and branched steam delivery.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A hyperthermia steam tumor rehabilitation device includes a hyperthermia steam source, which is connected to a pipeline system. The pipeline system is composed of several pipeline segments, and each pipeline segment is provided with several interfaces. The pipeline segments are detachably and movably connected to each other through the interfaces. The interfaces are used to control the steam flow and occlusion between the pipeline segments, and each pipeline segment is provided with a steam release valve;

[0006] The pipeline system is used to form a tree-like network structure that fits the arc surface of the patient's tumor lesion according to the shape and size of the patient's tumor lesion through the detachable and movable connection of the pipeline segments.

[0007] The beneficial effects of adopting the above solution are as follows:

[0008] 1. In this solution, the user can select the corresponding number of pipe segments according to the shape and size of the tumor lesion of the patient for assembly to form a pipe system. A number of interfaces on the pipe segments enable multiple pipe segments to be connected to a single pipe segment, thus forming a tree-like pipeline. At the same time, the pipe segments are detachably and movably connected, enabling them to support angle adjustment so that the pipe segments can fit the arc surface of the patient's tumor lesion.

[0009] 2. In this solution, the assembled pipe system is laid on the skin of the patient's tumor lesion. Select the steam release valve according to the need and open it. Start the hyperthermia steam source, which will inject steam into the pipe system. The steam will be transported in the pipe segments and released at the opened steam release valve for steam hyperthermia treatment of the patient.

[0010] Furthermore, the pipe segment is detachably connected with a suction cup, and the suction cup is used to suck and stick to the patient's skin.

[0011] Beneficial effect: The suction cup can attract the skin, thus obtaining a better fixing effect and reducing the sliding of the pipe system.

[0012] Furthermore, a top column is provided inside the suction cup, and a pressure sensor is provided at the bottom of the top column.

[0013] Beneficial effect: After the suction cup is tightened, the top column will abut against the patient's skin, so that the fixing effect of the suction cup can be evaluated through the pressure sensor.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a controller and a negative pressure aspirator. The negative pressure aspirator is used to communicate with the suction cup, and the controller is used to obtain the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor. When the pressure value is less than the preset value, it controls the negative pressure aspirator to perform suction to enhance the suction force of the suction cup.

[0015] Beneficial effect: The suction cup generates suction force through negative pressure, but the hyperthermia steam will heat the suction cup, causing the gas inside the suction cup to expand, thus reducing the suction force. The controller can feedback the change of the suction force of the suction cup through the pressure value and supplement it in time through the negative pressure aspirator.

[0016] Furthermore, the controller is also used to issue an alarm when the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is 0.

[0017] Beneficial effect: The suction cup may fall off, resulting in a decrease in the fitting degree between the pipe system and the patient's skin. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor is 0, it indicates that the falling-off situation has occurred and needs to be dealt with in time. Fix the corresponding pipe segment to the patient's skin again.

[0018] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is also provided at the bottom of the top column. The temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the patient's skin, and the controller is used to adjust the temperature and air flow rate of the steam discharged by the hyperthermia steam source according to the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor.

[0019] Beneficial effects: Steam thermotherapy inhibits tumors by taking advantage of the different heat tolerances of normal cells and cancer cells. Therefore, if the temperature is too low, it will not have a therapeutic effect, and if the temperature is too high, it will damage normal cells. The top column can stably contact the patient's skin, thereby enabling the detection of the patient's skin temperature, judging whether it is too hot or too cold based on the patient's skin temperature, and adjusting the temperature and air flow rate of the thermotherapy steam source according to the judgment result, so as to ensure the therapeutic effect.

[0020] Furthermore, the pipe section is detachably connected to the suction cup through a mounting seat. The mounting seat and the steam release valve are located on the same side of the pipe section. A negative pressure suction port is provided on the other side of the pipe section. The negative pressure suction port and the mounting seat are connected through an air pipe, and the air pipe is embedded in the side wall of the pipe section.

[0021] Beneficial effects: Since the suction cup needs to be in contact with the patient's skin, it must be located between the pipe section and the patient's skin. However, after connecting the negative pressure suction device, it will generate additional pipelines, which will hinder the contact between the steam and the skin. Therefore, by designing an air pipe structure in the side wall of the pipe section, a negative pressure can be generated at the negative pressure suction port on the other side of the pipe section, so that the suction cup can generate an attractive force.

[0022] Furthermore, the pipe sections are detachably and movably connected through an assembler. The assembler includes a universal joint. Clamping seats detachably connected to the pipe sections are provided at both ends of the universal joint, and the clamping seats are connected through a flexible hose.

[0023] Beneficial effects: The universal joint can provide sufficient mobility and can provide the deformation required for the pipe section to adapt to parts such as the patient's abdomen, chest, and arm. The flexible hose can provide a communication path, so that the pipe sections can still maintain a connected relationship after moving.

[0024] Furthermore, the controller is also used to input the patient's tumor type and physiological data. A tumor regulation database is preset in the controller. The tumor regulation database is used to store thermotherapy steam mode data under different tumor types and physiological data. The steam mode data includes steam temperature, flow rate, single steam injection duration, single intermittent duration, and total duration. The controller is used to search and control the thermotherapy steam source to execute different steam modes according to the input tumor type and physiological data through the tumor regulation database.

[0025] Beneficial effects: Different tumor types and physiological data require different treatment modes. For example, according to the different distances of the tumor from the skin, different steam temperatures are required; according to the different physiological states of the patient, the tolerance to heat is different, so the regulation of each steam release needs to be different, etc. Therefore, the thermotherapy steam mode data under different tumor types and physiological data is stored in the controller, and the execution mode of the thermotherapy steam source is controlled according to the different information of the patient to achieve a personalized treatment process.

[0026] Furthermore, the controller is also configured to gradually decrease the steam temperature to room temperature after reaching the total duration of hyperthermia steam.

[0027] Beneficial effects: After steam hyperthermia, the patient's skin pores will dilate. By gradually decreasing the steam temperature, the patient can gradually adapt and contract the pores, which can reduce the degree of stimulation to the patient after the end of steam hyperthermia.

[0028] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description, become apparent in part from the following description, or be learned through the practice of the present invention. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0038] The following is a further detailed description through specific embodiments:

[0039] Embodiment 1:

[0040] As shown in the attached Figures 1 - 5 figures: A thermal therapy steam tumor rehabilitation device includes a thermal therapy steam source 1, and the thermal therapy steam source 1 is a medicated steam fumigation instrument, which has the function of adjusting the steam temperature and flow rate by itself. The thermal therapy steam source 1 is connected to a pipeline system, and the pipeline system is composed of several pipeline segments 2. A plurality of interfaces 3 are provided on each pipeline segment 2, and the pipeline segments 2 are detachably and movably connected to each other through the interfaces 3. The pipeline segments 2 are detachably and movably connected through an assembler. The assembler includes a universal joint 12, and seat holders 13 detachably connected to the pipeline segments 2 are provided at both ends of the universal joint 12. The seat holders 13 are connected through a hose 14. The steam flow and blockage between the pipeline segments 2 are controlled by a valve body at the interface 3. A steam release valve 4 is provided on each pipeline segment 2.

[0041] The pipeline system is used to form a dendritic network structure that fits the arc surface of the patient's tumor lesion by the detachable and movable connection of the pipeline segments 2 according to the shape and size of the patient's tumor lesion.

[0042] The user can select the corresponding number of pipeline segments 2 for assembly according to the shape and size of the patient's tumor lesion to form a pipeline system. For example, fewer pipeline segments 2 are selected for tumors in the neck, arm, and leg, while more pipeline segments 2 are selected for tumors in the abdomen and chest.

[0043] Several interfaces 3 on the pipeline segment 2 can enable multiple pipeline segments 2 to be connected to a single pipeline segment 2, thereby forming a tree-shaped pipeline. When no other pipeline segment 2 is installed on the interface 3, it can be closed by the valve body. At the same time, the pipeline segments 2 are detachably and movably connected, enabling angle adjustment, so that the pipeline segment 2 can fit the arc surface of the patient's tumor lesion, adapt to the complex skin surface of the tumor lesion, and obtain a uniform and controllable steam hyperthermia effect. Lay the assembled pipeline system on the skin of the patient's tumor lesion, select the steam release valve 4 according to the needs, and open it. Start the hyperthermia steam source 1, and the hyperthermia steam source 1 will inject steam into the pipeline system. The steam will be transported in the pipeline segment 2 and released at the opened steam release valve 4 to perform steam hyperthermia on the patient.

[0044] The pipeline segment 2 is detachably connected with a suction cup 5. The suction cup 5 is used to suck and stick to the patient's skin. The pipeline segment 2 is detachably connected with the suction cup 5 through a mounting seat 9. The mounting seat 9 and the steam release valve 4 are located on the same side of the pipeline segment 2. On the other side of the pipeline segment 2, there is a negative pressure suction port 10. The negative pressure suction port 10 is communicated with the mounting seat 9 through an air pipe 11, and the air pipe 11 is embedded in the side wall of the pipeline segment 2.

[0045] The user can install the suction cup 5 on the pipeline segment 2. The suction cup 5 can be selectively installed according to the needs. For example, the pipeline segment 2 that only plays the role of steam transportation can choose not to install the suction cup 5. The suction cup 5 can fix the pipeline system at the tumor lesion of the patient and reduce the slippage of the pipeline system.

[0046] A top column 6 is arranged in the suction cup 5. A pressure sensor 7 is adhesively fixed to the bottom of the top column 6, and a temperature sensor 8 is adhesively fixed to the bottom of the top column 6. It also includes a controller and a negative pressure suction device. The negative pressure suction device is used to communicate with the suction cup 5 through the negative pressure suction port 10. The controller is used to obtain the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 7. When the pressure value is less than the preset value, it controls the negative pressure suction device to perform suction to enhance the attraction of the suction cup 5.

[0047] The suction cup 5 generates suction through negative pressure, but the hyperthermia steam will heat the suction cup 5, causing the internal gas of the suction cup 5 to expand, thereby reducing the suction. The controller can feedback the suction change of the suction cup 5 through the pressure value and supplement it in time through the negative pressure suction device.

[0048] Since the suction cup 5 needs to be in contact with the patient's skin, it must be located between the pipeline segment 2 and the patient's skin. However, after connecting the negative pressure suction device, it will generate additional pipelines, which will hinder the contact between the steam and the skin. Therefore, by designing the air pipe 11 structure in the side wall of the pipeline segment 2, generating negative pressure at the negative pressure suction port 10 on the other side of the pipeline segment 2 can enable the suction cup 5 to generate attraction.

[0049] The temperature sensor 8 is used to detect the skin temperature of the patient, and the controller is used to control the temperature and air flow rate discharged by the hyperthermia steam source 1 according to the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor 8.

[0050] Steam hyperthermia suppresses tumors by taking advantage of the different heat tolerances of normal cells and cancer cells. Therefore, if the temperature is too low, it will not have a therapeutic effect, and if the temperature is too high, it will damage normal cells. The top column 6 can stably contact the patient's skin, so as to detect the skin temperature of the patient, judge whether it is overheated or too cold according to the patient's skin temperature, and adjust the temperature and air flow rate of the hyperthermia steam source 1 according to the judgment result, so as to ensure the therapeutic effect.

[0051] Embodiment 2:

[0052] The difference from the above embodiment is that the controller is further used to input the patient's tumor type and physiological data. There is a tumor regulation database preset in the controller, and the tumor regulation database is used to store hyperthermia steam mode data under different tumor types and physiological data. The steam mode data includes steam temperature, flow rate, single steam injection duration, single intermittent duration, and total duration; the controller is used to search and control the hyperthermia steam source 1 to execute different steam modes according to the input tumor type and physiological data through the tumor regulation database.

[0053] The treatment modes suitable for different tumor types and physiological data are different. For example, according to the different distances of the tumor from the skin, the required steam temperature is also different; according to the different physiological states of the patient, the tolerance to heat is different, so the regulation of steam release each time needs to be different, etc. Therefore, the hyperthermia steam mode data under different tumor types and physiological data are stored in the controller, and the execution mode of the hyperthermia steam source 1 is controlled according to the different information of the patient to achieve a personalized treatment process.

[0054] Embodiment 3:

[0055] The difference from the above embodiment is that the controller is further used to gradually reduce the steam temperature to normal temperature after reaching the total duration of hyperthermia steam.

[0056] After steam hyperthermia, the patient's skin pores will dilate. By gradually reducing the steam temperature, the patient can gradually adapt and contract the pores, which can reduce the degree of stimulation to the patient after the end of steam hyperthermia.

[0057] Embodiment 4:

[0058] The difference from the above embodiment is that the controller is used to issue an alarm when the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 7 is 0.

[0059] The suction cup 5 may fall off, thereby reducing the degree of fit between the pipeline system and the patient's skin. When the pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 7 is 0, it indicates that the falling-off situation has occurred and needs to be dealt with in time. Then, the corresponding pipeline segment 2 should be fixed to the patient's skin again.

[0060] Embodiment 5:

[0061] The difference from the above embodiment is that the assembler is a flexible pipe with a certain damping, such as a gooseneck pipe.

[0062] The assembler is a flexible pipe with a certain damping. The user can make the pipeline segments 2 move by bending the assembler and stabilize the form through the damping.

[0063] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples given for clear illustration and are not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
