Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cooling cap technology, specifically a continuous cooling cap. Background Technology

[0002] In studies on emotion regulation, the prefrontal cortex, particularly the ventrolateral and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, is considered a key area, playing a crucial role in emotion processing, cognitive control, and behavioral selection. Research indicates that cryotherapy can effectively improve the mood of patients with depression. The mechanism involves cold stimulation activating the sympathetic nervous system and releasing neurotransmitters such as norepinephrine and β-endorphin. Currently, most cooling caps on the market are disposable or reusable ordinary caps. These caps are not optimized for the specific needs of patients with depression. Therefore, a continuous cooling cap designed specifically for patients with depression is proposed, aiming to more effectively activate key areas of the prefrontal cortex by precisely controlling the intensity and duration of cold stimulation, thereby improving the patient's emotional state.

[0003] When using existing cooling ice caps,

[0004] (1) The cooling effect is poor and mostly relies on disposable ice packs or phase change materials. The cooling effect decays over time and the cold source needs to be frequently replaced or replenished. The effective temperature for continuous cooling cannot be controlled, and room temperature will interfere with the treatment effect.

[0005] (2) Insufficient stability and adaptability. Some ice caps are simply fixed by elastic bands, which can easily shift when the patient turns over or moves, causing key cooling areas such as the temples and forehead to fall out of the cover. Furthermore, the tightness cannot be adjusted according to different head circumferences. If it is too tight, it can compress blood vessels in the head, while if it is too loose, it will affect the cooling efficiency.

[0006] To address the above problems, the present invention provides a continuous cooling ice cap. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous cooling ice cap. This invention can achieve stable cooling for a long time and can be accurately fixed to different head circumferences, thereby solving the problems of inconsistent cooling, unstable fixation and poor adaptability of existing devices.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a continuous cooling ice cap, comprising a cooling cap and a continuous cooling component, wherein the continuous cooling component is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the cooling cap, and the continuous cooling component includes a fixing block fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the cooling cap;

[0009] A cooling ice pack is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed block. A water inlet pipe is connected to the top of one side of the cooling ice pack, and a drain pipe is connected to the bottom of one side of the cooling ice pack. One end of the water inlet pipe and the drain pipe is connected to the main body of the refrigeration unit.

[0010] Furthermore, an exhaust vent is provided at the top of the front of the refrigeration unit, a circulating refrigeration device is provided at the bottom of the front of the refrigeration unit, and a display unit is provided at the top of the refrigeration unit. This achieves the effect of continuously cooling circulating water through the circulating refrigeration device, which is then transported to the cooling ice pack through the water inlet pipe and returned to the refrigeration unit through the drain pipe, forming a closed-loop cooling system to ensure that the cooling ice pack maintains a stable low temperature for a long time. The exhaust vent can promptly discharge the heat generated by the operation of the refrigeration unit to prevent the equipment from overheating. The display unit can display the temperature of the cooling ice pack and the circulating water in real time, facilitating personnel monitoring and adjustment.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixing component is fixed to the middle of the bottom end of the cooling cap. The fixing component includes a fixing plate fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the cooling cap. A protective post is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing plate, so that the fixing plate provides a stable installation base for the fixing component. The protective post can cover the internal transmission components to prevent the components from being exposed and scratching the patient's skin, and at the same time prevent dust and sweat from entering and affecting the operation of the components.

[0012] Furthermore, a motor box is fixedly connected to one side of the protective column, and a servo motor is fixedly connected inside the motor box. A transmission rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor, thus protecting the servo motor from external impacts and sweat corrosion through the motor box. The servo motor can drive the transmission rod to rotate, providing power for the tightening and loosening of the elastic band, realizing the automatic adjustment of the tightness without the need for manual pulling.

[0013] Furthermore, a rotating roller is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod, a bearing is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating roller, and the bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective column. This achieves the effect of driving the rotating roller to rotate synchronously through the transmission rod, and the rotating roller can realize the winding and unwinding of the elastic band. The bearing reduces the frictional resistance between the rotating roller and the inner wall of the protective column, making the rotation smoother, reducing the operating load of the servo motor, and extending the service life of the components.

[0014] Furthermore, an elastic band is wound around the surface of the rotating roller, one end of which is fixedly connected to a buckle. A seat is engaged with the surface of the buckle, and a connecting block is fixedly connected to the top of the seat. The top of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling cap. This allows the tightness of the cooling cap to be adjusted by rotating the roller to loosen the elastic band, thus adapting to different patient head circumferences. The engagement of the buckle and the seat allows for quick donning and disassembly of the cooling cap, while ensuring that it does not easily shift after being secured, preventing key cooling areas from falling out of the cover.

[0015] Furthermore, connecting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the cooling cap near the temples. A body temperature sensor is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate, so that the body temperature sensor can be stably fixed in the key cooling area near the temples through the connecting plate. The body temperature sensor can monitor the patient's head temperature in real time, so that personnel can adjust the cooling intensity of the refrigeration unit according to the temperature data, avoiding excessive cooling that may cause frostbite or insufficient cooling that may affect the effect.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] This invention provides a continuous cooling ice cap.

[0018] (1) By setting up a continuous cooling component, when the personnel operate the device, the circulating cooling device of the refrigeration unit is activated. The cooled circulating water flows into the cooling ice pack through the water inlet pipe to provide a cold source for the cooling cap. The circulating water that absorbs the heat from the head flows back to the refrigeration unit through the drain pipe, is cooled again and reused, achieving 24-hour uninterrupted cooling without the need to frequently replace the cold source. The personnel can view the cooling temperature in real time through the display unit and adjust the cooling intensity in combination with the head temperature fed back by the body temperature sensor to ensure a stable and safe cooling effect, thus solving the problem of the non-continuous cooling of traditional ice caps.

[0019] (2) By setting the fixed components, when the user operates the device, after the patient puts on the cooling cap, the buckle is inserted into the seat for initial fixation. The servo motor is started, and the transmission rod drives the rotating roller to rotate. The elastic band is tightened around the head until the cooling cap fits the head without pressure. The bearing ensures that the rotating roller runs smoothly, and the protective column prevents the internal parts from scratching the skin. When disassembling, only the buckle needs to be released. It can adapt to different head sizes and prevent the ice cap from shifting when the patient moves. It solves the problems of unstable fixation and poor adaptability of traditional ice caps.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] To solve the problem of how to effectively position and adjust the technology, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0028] A continuous cooling ice cap includes a cooling cap 1 and a continuous cooling component 2. The continuous cooling component 2 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the cooling cap 1. When the user operates the device, the circulating cooling device 207 of the refrigeration unit 205 is activated. The cooled circulating water flows into the cooling ice pack 202 through the water inlet pipe 203 to provide a cold source for the cooling cap 1. The circulating water that has absorbed heat from the head flows back to the refrigeration unit through the drain pipe 204, is cooled again, and is reused to achieve 24-hour uninterrupted cooling without the need for frequent replacement of the cold source. The user can view the cooling temperature in real time through the display unit 208 and adjust the cooling intensity in combination with the head temperature feedback from the body temperature sensor 5 to ensure a stable and safe cooling effect. This solves the problem of inconsistent cooling of traditional ice caps. The continuous cooling component 2 includes a fixing block 201 fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the cooling cap 1.

[0029] A cooling ice pack 202 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed block 201. A water inlet pipe 203 is connected to the top end of one side of the cooling ice pack 202. A drain pipe 204 is connected to the bottom end of one side of the cooling ice pack 202. One end of the water inlet pipe 203 and the drain pipe 204 are connected to the refrigeration unit body 205.

[0030] Specifically, when using the device, the operator first puts the cooling cap 1 on the patient's head and initially secures it by the buckle 309 of the fixing component 3 engaging with the seat 310. Then, the cooling unit 205 is started, and the target cooling temperature is set through the display unit 208. After the circulating cooling device 207 has been running for 1-2 minutes, the temperature of the cooling ice pack 202 displayed on the display unit 208 is observed. After confirming that the temperature is stable, the servo motor 304 is started according to the patient's head circumference, and the tightness of the elastic band 308 is adjusted until the cooling cap 1 fits the head and the patient feels no pressure. During this period, the patient's head temperature is monitored in real time by the body temperature sensor 5. If the temperature is lower than the target value, the cooling intensity is reduced by the cooling unit 205; if the temperature is higher than the target value, it is increased to ensure a stable cooling effect. After use, the cooling unit 205 is turned off, the buckle 309 is released, and the cooling cap 1 is removed.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0032] The top of the front of the refrigeration unit 205 has an exhaust vent 206, the bottom of the front of the refrigeration unit 205 has a circulating refrigeration device 207, and the top of the refrigeration unit 205 has a display unit 208. The purpose of this design is that the circulating refrigeration device 207 can continuously cool the circulating water, ensuring that the temperature of the cold water delivered by the water inlet pipe 203 is stable, and providing a continuous cold source for the cooling ice pack 202. The exhaust vent 206 can promptly discharge the heat generated by the refrigeration unit 205 during operation, preventing the equipment from being damaged by overheating or affecting the refrigeration efficiency. The display unit 208 can intuitively display the circulating water temperature, the temperature of the cooling ice pack 202, and the refrigeration intensity parameters, which can be easily monitored and adjusted by personnel in real time, improving the ease of operation.

[0033] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0034] A fixing component 3 is fixed to the middle of the bottom end of the cooling cap 1. The fixing component 3 includes a fixing plate 301 fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the cooling cap 1. A protective post 302 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fixing plate 301. The purpose of this design is that the fixing plate 301 provides a stable mounting carrier for other components of the fixing component 3 to prevent the components from becoming loose. The protective post 302 can cover the internal transmission components such as the transmission rod 305 and the rotating roller 306 to prevent the components from being exposed and scratching the patient's skin. At the same time, it isolates sweat and dust, prevents the components from rusting or getting stuck, and extends the service life.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0036] A motor box 303 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective column 302. A servo motor 304 is fixedly connected inside the motor box 303. A transmission rod 305 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 304. The purpose of this design is that the motor box 303 can provide protection for the servo motor 304 to prevent damage to the motor caused by external impact or liquid seepage. The servo motor 304 can output stable power, which drives the rotating roller 306 to rotate through the transmission rod 305, realizing the automatic opening and closing of the elastic band 308 without manual pulling and adjustment, reducing the operation intensity of nursing staff, while ensuring precise adjustment of tightness.

[0037] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0038] One end of the transmission rod 305 is fixedly connected to a rotating roller 306, and one end of the rotating roller 306 is fixedly connected to a bearing 307. One end of the bearing 307 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective column 302. The purpose of this design is that the transmission rod 305 can transmit the power of the servo motor 304 to the rotating roller 306, so that the rotating roller 306 can tighten and loosen the tension belt 308 through the winding action. The bearing 307 can reduce the frictional resistance between the rotating roller 306 and the inner wall of the protective column 302, so that the rotating roller 306 rotates more smoothly, reduces the operating load of the servo motor 304, avoids damage to components due to overheating from friction, and improves the stability of the adjustment process.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0040] An elastic band 308 is wrapped around the surface of the rotating roller 306. One end of the elastic band 308 is fixedly connected to a buckle 309. A seat 310 is attached to the surface of the buckle 309. A connecting block 311 is fixedly connected to the top of the seat 310. The top of the connecting block 311 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooling cap 1. The purpose of this design is that the elastic band 308 is elastic and can be adapted to different head circumferences when combined with the rotation of the rotating roller 306, ensuring that the cooling cap 1 fits the head. The snap-fit ​​structure between the buckle 309 and the seat 310 can quickly complete the wearing and removal of the cooling cap 1, which is convenient to operate. At the same time, after being fixed, it is not easy to shift due to the patient turning over or moving, ensuring that the cooling ice pack 202 always covers key cooling areas such as the temples and forehead.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the following preferred technical solutions are provided:

[0042] The cooling cap 1 has connecting plates 4 fixedly connected to both sides near the temples at the bottom. A body temperature sensor 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 4. The purpose of this design is to allow the connecting plate 4 to stably fix the body temperature sensor 5 in the key area of ​​the head near the temples, so that the temperature in this area can more accurately reflect the core temperature of the head. The body temperature sensor 5 collects the patient's head temperature data in real time, providing a basis for personnel to adjust the cooling intensity of the cooling machine body 205, avoiding excessive cooling that may cause frostbite to the head, or insufficient cooling that may affect the treatment effect, thus improving the safety of use.

[0043] Working principle: Before use, the cooling cap 1 is placed on the patient's head and initially secured to the seat 310 via buckle 309. The cooling unit 205 is activated, and the circulating cooling device 207 cools the circulating water. The cooled circulating water flows into the cooling ice pack 202 through the inlet pipe 203. The cooling ice pack 202 transfers its cooling energy to the cooling cap 1, providing cooling for the head. The circulating water that has absorbed heat from the head flows back to the cooling unit 205 through the drain pipe 204, is cooled again by the circulating cooling device 207, and then enters the next cycle, achieving 24-hour uninterrupted cooling. During this period, the display unit 20... 8. The circulating water temperature and the temperature of the cooling ice pack 202 are displayed in real time. The body temperature sensor 5 monitors the head temperature. The person adjusts the cooling intensity according to the data of both. If it is necessary to adapt to the head circumference, the servo motor 304 is started, which drives the transmission rod 305 to rotate the rotating roller 306. The tensioning strap 308 is tightened or loosened to the appropriate tightness. The heat generated by the operation of the cooling machine body 205 is discharged through the exhaust port 206. The protection column 302 and the motor box 303 protect the internal transmission components and the servo motor 304 respectively, ensuring the stable operation of the equipment. In the end, continuous, stable and safe head cooling is achieved, solving the pain points of traditional ice caps.
