Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention particularly relates to an alternating facial cold compress device. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing popularity of non-invasive aesthetic medical technologies, laser treatments (such as fractional laser, picosecond laser, and photorejuvenation) have become a mainstream approach for skin rejuvenation, pigmentation improvement, and scar repair due to their high efficacy and minimally invasive nature. However, when laser energy is applied to the skin, the localized temperature rise can cause thermal damage, leading to redness, swelling, and burning pain. Therefore, a cold compress is often used to cool the facial skin, relieve inflammation, and reduce swelling. This can last up to an hour or even longer.

[0003] For example, the Chinese invention patent with publication number CN111544193B provides a rechargeable cold compress bag. Based on the existing cold compress bag structure, the cold compress bag uses a refrigeration plate to refrigerate the condensing medium sealed in the cold compress bag body when current is passed through (that is, the rechargeable cold compress bag is plugged into a power source) to achieve the rechargeable refrigeration function of the cold compress bag. It is easy to use and there is no need to frequently replace the condensing medium.

[0004] However, the face requires intermittent cold compresses, otherwise it will cause frostbite. Most existing facial cold compress devices can only provide continuous cold compresses on the face, requiring patients to remove and put on the cold compress devices regularly, which causes certain inconveniences when using them. In view of this, an alternating facial cold compress device is proposed to solve the above problem. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following specific implementation methods are only used to further illustrate the present invention and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present invention based on the above application content.

[0020] Example: like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides an alternating facial cold compress device, comprising a shell 1, with mounting frames 2 provided at both ends of the shell 1, and the ends of the two sets of mounting frames 2 connected by fixing belts 5, and mounting covers 18 are slidably provided on the mounting frames 2, and a cold compress bag 30 is provided in the mounting cover 18, which can be slidably installed along the inner side surface thereof and is detachable. When the device is in use, it can be worn on the patient's head through the fixing belt 5, and then the mounting cover 18 can be slid along the mounting frame 2 to move the cold compress bag 30 to the affected area, so as to apply cold compress to the affected areas at different positions. Generally, if cold compress is required on both sides of the face, two sets of cold compress bags 30 are required. When only a single position needs to be cold compressed, one of the sets of cold compress bags 30 can be removed, and only a single set of cold compress bags 30 is used.

[0021] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, a rotatable mounting shaft 6 is disposed within the housing 1. A drive mechanism connected to the mounting shaft 6 is disposed within the housing 1, and the mounting shaft 6 is driven to rotate back and forth by the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a mounting disk 13 rotatable along its axis and disposed within the housing 1. An intermittent drive assembly connected to the mounting disk 13 is disposed within the housing 1, and the mounting disk 13 is driven to rotate intermittently by the intermittent drive assembly. The intermittent drive assembly includes a drive motor 9 fixedly disposed within the housing 1, a drive disk 10 being disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor 9, a drive post 11 and an arcuate block 12 being disposed on one side of the drive disk 10, and a plurality of guide rails 14. The plurality of guide rails 14 are circumferentially spaced apart and arranged on one side of the mounting disk 13. The ends of each two guide rails 14 are connected by an arcuate groove 15. The drive post 11 can be snapped into the guide rail 14, and the arcuate block 12 can be snapped into the arcuate groove 15.

[0022] The driving disc 10 can be controlled to rotate by the driving motor 9. During the rotation process, the driving disc 10 can be intermittently clamped into the guide track 14 by the driving column 11 so that the mounting disc 13 can rotate at intervals. When the driving column 11 is separated from the mounting disc 13, the arc block 12 is clamped into the arc groove 15 to prevent the mounting disc 13 from rotating. When the driving column 11 is clamped into the guide track 14, the arc block 12 is separated from the arc groove 15 to provide space for the rotation of the mounting disc 13.

[0023] like Figure 2 、 4 As shown in Figures 5 and 6, in this embodiment, the drive mechanism further includes a propulsion assembly disposed on the mounting plate 13 and connected to the mounting shaft 6. The propulsion assembly converts the rotation of the mounting plate 13 into a reciprocating motion of the mounting shaft 6. The propulsion assembly includes multiple sets of support frames 16, which are arranged circumferentially and spaced apart on the mounting plate 13. Propulsion wheels 17 are provided at the ends of the support frames 16. Arc blocks 8 are provided on both sides of the mounting shaft 6, and one set of propulsion wheels 17 always remains in contact with the arc blocks 8.

[0024] It can be understood that in some preferred embodiments, three groups of support frames 16 can be provided, and the spacing between each group of support frames 16 is 120°. The guide rails 14 can be provided as six groups, and the angle between the guide rails 14 is 60°. In the initial state, one group of propulsion wheels 17 is in contact with the arc block 8. Each rotation of the driving disk 10 can drive the mounting disk 13 to rotate 60° at intervals, thereby controlling the support frame 16 to move 60°, so as to ensure that after one group of propulsion wheels 17 in contact detaches from the arc block 8, the other group of propulsion wheels 17 can immediately contact the other group of arc blocks 8 again, and the cooperation between the propulsion wheels 17 and the arc block 8 drives the mounting shaft 6 to rotate intermittently back and forth.

[0025] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting shaft 6 is provided with a transmission mechanism connected to the two sets of cold compress bags 30. The transmission mechanism converts the rotation of the mounting shaft 6 into sliding movement of the cold compress bags 30, with the two sets of cold compress bags 30 sliding in opposite directions. The transmission mechanism includes a slide frame 7 provided on the mounting shaft 6. The cold compress bags 30 are provided with guide wheels 24, which are slidably mounted within the slide frame 7.

[0026] During the reciprocating rotation, the mounting shaft 6 drives the two sets of slide frames 7 to swing back and forth. During the swinging process 2, the slide frame 7 can drive the cold compress bag 30 to slide in the mounting cover 18 by cooperating with the guide wheel 24, so that the two sets of cold compress bags 30 alternately contact the patient's skin. The inner width of the guide wheel 24 is greater than the width of the slide frame 7 to adapt to the angle change between the slide frame 7 and the axis of the guide wheel 24.

[0027] like Figure 2 、 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting cover 18 is provided with a mounting tube 21, within which a support tube 22 is slidably mounted. A guide wheel 24 is disposed at the end of the support tube 22. A mounting post 27 is disposed within the support tube 22, and a placement shell 29 is disposed at the end of the mounting post 27. A cold compress bag 30 is removably mounted within the placement shell 29. The cold compress bag 30 is mounted via the placement shell 29 and can be secured within the placement shell 29 using Velcro or adhesive. The mounting tube 21 cooperates with the support tube 22 to position the placement shell 29, allowing the cold compress bag 30 to slide within the mounting cover 18. Furthermore, in some embodiments, it is understood that the speed of the drive motor 9 can be controlled to alternately apply cold compresses for 15 seconds to each area, thereby improving the cold compress effect and effectively preventing frostbite. Furthermore, in some preferred embodiments, a removable absorbent cotton layer can be added to the outside of the cold compress bag 30 to absorb condensed water generated during the cold compress process and promptly clean it to prevent postoperative skin infection.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting post 27 is slidably disposed along its axis within a support tube 22. A limit slot 23 is defined in the support tube 22, and a limit block 28 is provided on the mounting post 27. The limit block 28 slides and engages within the limit slot 23. A pressure adjustment assembly is provided on the support tube 22, connected to the mounting post 27. The pressure adjustment assembly is used to adjust the pressure between the cold compress 30 and the face. The pressure adjustment assembly includes a threaded knob 25 that is threadedly connected to the end of the support tube 22 and extends into the support tube 22. An elastic member 26 is disposed within the support tube 22, with its ends abutting against the threaded knob 25 and the mounting post 27, respectively.

[0029] When applying cold compress to different positions, after the mounting cover 18 slides on the mounting frame 2, the displacement distance of the cold compress bag 30 will change when the sliding frame 7 swings at the same angle. The elastic member 26 can be squeezed by rotating the threaded knob 25, thereby pushing the mounting column 27 to slide in the support tube 22 to ensure that the cold compress bag 30 can maintain good contact with the skin. At the same time, the pressure caused by the cold compress bag 30 on the skin can be adjusted, which is suitable for local cold compresses at different positions of patients, and is also suitable for patients with different head shapes, thereby improving the applicability of the device.

[0030] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a mounting cover 18 is provided with a mounting slot 19, and the mounting frame 2 is inserted into the mounting slot 19. A stopper 3 is provided at the end of the mounting frame 2. The mounting cover 18 is also provided with a movable slot 20 communicating with the mounting slot 19, and the slide frame 7 is movably disposed within the movable slot 20. The mounting frame 2 is provided with a through slot 4, and the support tube 22 is movably disposed within the through slot 4. The stopper 3 prevents the mounting cover 18 from separating from the mounting frame 2, the movable slot 20 provides space for the movement of the slide frame 7, and the through slot 4 provides space for the movement of the support tube 22, thereby improving the stability of the device structure.

[0031] Specific usage and beneficial effects of the present invention: When the device is in use, it is worn on the patient's head via the fixing belt 5, and by adjusting the distance between the two sets of mounting covers 18 to contact different positions of the patient's face, a cold compress can be performed. When a cold compress is required on one side of the face, only a single set of cold compress bags 30 needs to be installed, while when a cold compress is required on both sides of the face, two sets of cold compress bags 30 need to be installed. During the cold compress process, in the initial state, one set of cold compress bags 30 contacts the affected area. The driving mechanism can control the mounting shaft 6 to rotate back and forth within the housing 1. During the rotation, the mounting shaft 6 can convert its power into driving the cold compress bags 30 to slide. Since the sliding directions of the two sets of cold compress bags 30 are opposite, the two sets of cold compress bags 30 can be controlled to alternately contact different positions on the face, achieving intermittent cold compress work, effectively preventing facial frostbite, and eliminating the need for the patient to repeatedly put on and take off the cold compress bags 30, making facial cold compress work more convenient.

[0032] The basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention are shown and described above. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above. Modifications and improvements may be made based on the present invention, as will be apparent to those skilled in the art. Therefore, such modifications and improvements, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, are intended to fall within the scope of protection claimed in the present invention.
