Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of upper limb fumigation and washing, and more specifically, to a fumigation and washing system for upper limb lymphedema after breast cancer surgery. Background Art
[0002] Fumigation therapy is also called steam therapy or steam bath therapy. Chinese medicine fumigation is a traditional external treatment method that uses the dual effects of the efficacy of Chinese medicine and the heat of the medicine soup to act on the body through the skin and mucous membranes to play the effects of dispelling wind and dampness, warming the interior and dispersing cold, dredging the meridians, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and reducing swelling and dispersing nodules. Local fumigation can be performed at home. When fumigating, pour the decocted medicine soup into a basin or wooden barrel while it is hot, and place the upper or lower limbs on top of the basin or wooden barrel. Fumigate the affected area first, and be sure to cover it with a towel to prevent the heat from evaporating too quickly. When the temperature drops to about 40 degrees, the affected limb can be immersed in the medicine soup for washing. Finally, the medicine residue can be bagged and wrapped to iron the affected area.

When the patient uses the device to fumigate the upper limbs, first open the sealing cover connected to the top of the box body, and then insert the upper limb to be fumigated into the elastic cover through the elastic ring connected to one end of the elastic cover. After the upper limb is completely placed on the first bracket and the second bracket, open the cover provided on one side of the box body and pour the heated liquid medicine into it. Close the cover and the sealing cover, and the steam generated by the liquid medicine will fumigate the patient's upper limbs through the through grooves provided on the first bracket and the second bracket.

At this time, the connecting pipe is in a conductive state with the liquid guide cover. Continue to move the sliding plate upward so that the control hole on the directional cover outside the sliding plate is connected with the opening inside the liquid guide cover. At this time, the connecting frame moves to the highest position, rotates the connecting frame to the horizontal direction, and then slides the spray frame along the guide plate to make the telescopic pipe become stretched until the spray frame completely covers the patient's upper limbs. Then start the suction pump, and the suction pump will pump the liquid medicine into the connecting pipe. Finally, the spray frame rinses the patient's upper limbs with liquid medicine.

[0029] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a spray assembly is provided on one side of the box body 3, and the spray assembly includes a sliding plate 32 that is slidably mounted on the outside of the box body 3, a directional cover 29 is provided on the outside of the sliding plate 32, and a connecting frame 11 is hinged at the top of the sliding plate 32. The connecting frame 11 is connected to the directional cover 29 through an elastic tube 28.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of spray racks 6 are connected to the top of the connecting frame 11 , and each adjacent spray rack 6 is connected by a telescopic tube 7 . Guide plates 8 are provided on both sides of the connecting frame 11 , and each connecting frame 11 is slidably clamped between two guide plates 8 .
[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the outer side of the box body 3 is connected to a sleeve 17 through a support arm 10, a rotating cylinder 16 is sleeved in the sleeve 17, a connecting cylinder 12 is provided at one end of the rotating cylinder 16, a clamping ring 22 provided at one end of the connecting cylinder 12 is rotatably clamped at one end of the rotating cylinder 16, and a liquid guide cover 21 is connected to one end of the connecting cylinder 12.
[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a side ring 20 is connected to the outside of the connecting tube 12 , and the side ring 20 is connected to one end of the sleeve 17 through a spring 13 . A rib 19 is provided at the connection between the sleeve 17 and the support arm 10 .
[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a side ring 20 is connected to the outside of the connecting tube 12 , and the side ring 20 is connected to one end of the sleeve 17 through a spring 13 . A rib 19 is provided at the connection between the sleeve 17 and the support arm 10 .
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the connection between the reset groove 25 and the guide groove 26 is aligned with the positioning groove 23 , the corner 24 on one side of the connection is biased toward the reset groove 25 , and the connecting groove 18 is aligned with the rear end of the reset groove 25 .
[0035] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an isolation pad is provided at one end of the inner side of the sleeve 17, and the free end of the isolation pad is in contact with one end of the rotating cylinder 16. The liquid guide hole 15 is opened on either side of the isolation pad. A connecting tube 30 is connected to one end of the sleeve 17. The connecting port of the connecting tube 30 and the sleeve 17 is on either side of the isolation pad. The connecting port of the connecting tube 30 and the sleeve 17 is arranged on the opposite side of the isolation pad as the liquid guide hole 15.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting pipe 30 is connected to the box body 3 through a suction pump 33 , and the lowest point of the connecting pipe 30 is flush with the inner bottom wall of the box body 3 .
[0037] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the liquid-guiding cover 21 is clamped on the outside of the spray rack 6. The spray rack 6 has the same outer edge shape as the directional cover 29. A pair of drive rings 27 are provided on the connecting frame 11. The horizontal span of the two drive rings 27 is equal to the horizontal span from the positioning groove 23 to the connecting groove 18. A control hole 31 is provided at the bottom end of the directional cover 29. The control hole 31 is equal to the inner diameter of the inner opening of the liquid-guiding cover 21.
[0038] The spray assembly can be used in conjunction with the conversion assembly, so that the spray assembly can be unfolded and connected to the liquid inside the box 3 to prevent high-temperature liquid from entering the connecting tube 30 and causing damage to the inside of the connecting tube 30. When using the spray assembly to rinse the patient's upper limbs, first open the sealing cover 5, then move the sliding plate 32 and the connecting frame 11 upward. During the upward movement of the connecting frame 11, the driving ring 27 connected to the outside of the connecting frame 11 will squeeze the liquid guide cover 21 and the connecting tube 12 connected to the outside of the liquid guide cover 21 when passing through the liquid guide cover 21. The side ring 20 connected to the outside of the connecting tube 12 will synchronously squeeze the spring The spring 13 is used, and at the same time, the rotating cylinder 16 that is fixed by the clamping ring 22 at one end of the connecting cylinder 12 will also move together with the connecting cylinder 12 and compress the isolation pad. The sliding button 14 set on the outside of the rotating cylinder 16 will slide along the positioning groove 23. After the sliding button 14 slides to contact the corner 24, since the corner 24 on one side of the connection is biased towards the reset groove 25, the sliding button 14 will slide out of the positioning groove 23 and then slide into the guide groove 26 until it is stuck in the connecting groove 18 connected to the bottom end of the guide groove 26. Since the span of the driving ring 27 in the horizontal direction is the same as the distance from the positioning groove 23 to the connecting groove 18, The horizontal spans are equal, so at this time, continuing to move the sliding plate 32 and the connecting frame 11 upwards can gradually reset the liquid guide cover 21. Similarly, the sliding button 14 will be reset synchronously. Since the connecting groove 18 is aligned with the tail end of the reset groove 25, the sliding button 14 will slide into the reset groove 25 and finally enter the positioning groove 23 during the reset process. At this time, the 180-degree flip of the rotating drum 16 is completed, so that the liquid guide hole 15 opened at one end of the rotating drum 16 moves to the other side of the isolation pad. At this time, the liquid guide hole 15 will rotate to the same side as the conductive position of the connecting pipe 30 and the sleeve 17. At this time, the connecting tube 30 is in a conductive state with the liquid guide cover 21, and the sliding plate 32 is further moved upward to connect the control hole 31 on the directional cover 29 outside the sliding plate 32 with the inner opening of the liquid guide cover 21. At this time, the connecting frame 11 moves to the highest position, and the connecting frame 11 is rotated to the horizontal direction. Then, the spray frame 6 is slid along the guide plate 8 to make the telescopic tube 7 become stretched until the spray frame 6 completely covers the patient's upper limb. Then, the suction pump 33 is started, and the suction pump 33 will pump the liquid medicine into the connecting tube 30. Finally, the spray frame 6 rinses the patient's upper limb with liquid medicine.
[0039] After the rinsing is completed, the suction pump 33 is turned off to allow the liquid to reflux naturally. After the reflux is completed, the sliding plate 32 and the connecting frame 11 are reset. Similarly, the spray assembly and the conversion assembly are automatically reset for the next use.
[0040] The specific usage and function of this embodiment are as follows:
[0041] The support assembly provided in the present invention can support the patient's upper limbs when the liquid medicine in the box 3 is fumigating the patient's arm. When the patient uses the device for upper limb fumigation, first open the sealing cover 5 connected to the top of the box 3, and then insert the upper limb to be fumigated into the elastic cover 1 through the elastic ring 2 connected to one end of the elastic cover 1. After the upper limb is completely placed on the first bracket and the second bracket 34, open the cover 4 provided on one side of the box 3 and pour the heated liquid medicine into it. Close the cover 4 and the sealing cover 5, and the steam generated by the liquid medicine will fumigate the patient's upper limbs through the through grooves 36 provided on the first bracket and the second bracket 34. If the patient feels uncomfortable due to long-term fumigation, the cover 4 can be appropriately opened to reduce the fumigation temperature.
[0042] When the temperature of the medicine liquid drops below 40°C, the patient's upper limbs can be rinsed through the spray assembly. At this time, the patient can bend his upper limbs downward to make the second bracket 34 slide out of the through slot 36. At this time, the side buttons 35 set on both sides of the second bracket 34 will slide along the inner wall of the box 3, and the first bracket will also rotate synchronously along the hinge axis with the box 3, ultimately allowing the patient's upper limbs to be rinsed while keeping the elbow joint bent, avoiding waste caused by the medicine liquid flowing along the patient's upper limbs to the outside of the device during the rinsing process.
[0043] The above is only an embodiment of the present invention, and the common knowledge such as the specific technical solutions and / or characteristics in the solution are not described in detail here. It should be pointed out that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the technical solution of the present invention, several variations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the present invention and the practicality of the patent. The scope of protection required by this application shall be based on the content of its claims, and the specific implementation methods and other records in the description can be used to interpret the content of the claims.
