[0028] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
[0029] Example 1 This embodiment provides a cryotherapy device for oral mucositis, such as... Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a treatment instrument body 1, a battery 2 and a control board 3 disposed inside the treatment instrument body 1, and a button 4 is installed on the upper surface of the control board 3. The device is characterized by: a cooling chamber 5 nested inside the treatment instrument body 1; a semiconductor cooling chip 6 attached to the lower surface of the cooling chamber 5; a threaded rod 10 rotatably connected inside the treatment instrument body 1; a cooling tube 7 attached to the upper surface of the semiconductor cooling chip 6, with the outer surface of the cooling tube 7 nested inside the cooling chamber 5; a ratchet 8 attached to the lower surface of the semiconductor cooling chip 6; a fan 9 attached to the lower surface of the ratchet 8; and a high-temperature resistant partition between the fan 9 and the battery 2 to prevent the effects of high temperatures. Power supply; the treatment device body 1 is threadedly connected to the extrusion block 11 via the threaded rod 10, and the extrusion block 11 is limited and slidably inside the treatment device body 1. The outer surface of the extrusion block 11 is nested and obliquely slidably connected to the moving plate 12, and the outer surface of the moving plate 12 is limited and slidably connected to the moving component 13. The moving component 13 is installed on the outer surface of the water inlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 15 to control the opening and closing of the water inlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 15. The treatment device body 1 forms a threaded sliding structure with the extrusion block 11 via the threaded rod 10, and the extrusion block 11 forms an oblique sliding extrusion structure with the moving plate 12. The moving plate 12 and the moving component 13 form a limited sliding structure.
[0030] During use, the device is powered by the battery 2 mounted on the main body 1 and activated by pressing the button 4 on the control board 3. After examining the patient and placing the device on the mucosal inflammation site, the semiconductor cooling chip 6 is activated to cool the liquid inside the cooling chamber 5, which is attached to the semiconductor cooling chip 6. This works in conjunction with the temperature monitoring chip 24 to control the cooling rate. During cooling, the cooling tube 7 inside the cooling chamber 5 contacts the semiconductor cooling chip 6, improving cooling efficiency and reducing continuous operation of the cooling device. This intermittent operation enhances the treatment effect of the mucosal inflammation. In addition, the device works with the spiny plate 8 and the fan 9 to cool the high temperature generated on the other side of the semiconductor cooling chip 6. After the cooling chamber 5 is cooled, the liquid is slowly pumped through the pump... The inlet pipe 14, the drain pipe 15, and the assembled circulation pipe 18 circulate within the treatment head 19 to cool it down for cold compress treatment. When the treatment head 19 needs to be replaced after prolonged use, the liquid in the inlet pipe 14, the drain pipe 15, and the circulation pipe 18 is recovered into the cooling chamber 5. The cooling chamber 5 automatically depressurizes to prevent excessive pressure. The small motor built into the treatment device body 1 is activated to control the rotation of the threaded rod 10, adjusting the position of the threaded adjustment squeezing block 11. This pushes the sliding plate 12, which is obliquely slidably connected to the squeezing block 11, to slide within the moving assembly 13. This seals the inlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 15 after liquid recovery, preventing liquid leakage during pipe replacement, avoiding waste of cooling materials, and improving the sealing and replacement effect.
[0031] Example 2 This embodiment provides a cryotherapy device for oral mucositis, such as... Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, an inlet pipe 14 and a drain pipe 15 are assembled on the upper surface of the cooling chamber 5. A circulation pipe 18 is installed at the top of the outer surface of the inlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 15. An electric three-way valve 16 is nested on the outer surface of the inlet pipe 14, and the electric three-way valve 16 is located between the moving component 13 and the cooling chamber 5. A liquid monitor 17 is nested on the inner surface of the inlet pipe 14, and the liquid monitor 17 is located on the upper side of the moving component 13 to monitor whether liquid is passing through the pipe. The inlet pipe 14 and the electric three-way valve 16 form an integrated structure, and the inlet pipe 14 and the liquid monitor 17 form an internal nested structure. The inlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 15 form an integrated structure through the circulation pipe 18.
[0032] When replacing the inlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 15, the electric three-way valve 16 assembled with the inlet pipe 14 will be activated to close the passage of the inlet pipe 14, and the inlet pipe 14 connected to the treatment head 19 end will be opened to connect with the air pipe. The pump body will be activated to recover the liquid in the inlet pipe 14, the drain pipe 15 and the circulation pipe 18 into the cooling chamber 5. Then, the moving component 13 will be controlled to close the inlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 15, thereby replacing the inlet pipe 14 and the drain pipe 15, improving the replacement effect and avoiding waste of cooling liquid.
[0033] Example 3 This embodiment provides a cryotherapy device for oral mucositis, such as... Figures 5-8 As shown: A treatment head 19 is nested on the outer surface of the circulation tube 18. A protective sleeve 25 is nested on the outer surface of the treatment head 19, and a baffle 26 is squeezed onto the outer surface of the protective sleeve 25. A camera 20 is nested on the inner surface of the treatment head 19, and a suction element 21 is nested in the middle section of the inner surface of the treatment head 19. A sealing ring 22 is nested at the outer ends of the suction element 21 and the camera 20. A suction tube 23 is nested on the lower side of the outer surface of the suction element 21, and the sealing ring 22 is nested on the outer surface of the protective sleeve 25. A temperature monitoring plate 24 is nested in the middle section of the inner surface of the treatment head 19 for monitoring the temperature. The treatment head 19 and camera 20 form an embedded structure, and the treatment head 19 and suction member 21 form a nested structure. The camera 20 and suction member 21 are sealed with the protective sleeve 25 via a sealing ring 22, while the protective sleeve 25 and treatment head 19 form a wrapping structure. A flexible membrane 27 is attached to the upper side of the outer surface of the baffle 26, and a limiting plate 28 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the baffle 26. A return spring 29 is nested between the limiting plate 28 and the baffle 26. The baffle 26 and the limiting plate 28 form an elastic sliding structure via the return spring 29, and the limiting plate 28 and protective sleeve 25 form a compression structure. When using the treatment head 19, a protective sleeve 25 is wrapped around its outer surface. This sleeve 25 is nested between the outer surfaces of the camera 20 and the suction element 21. The sealing ring 22 on the outside of the camera 20 and suction element 21 prevents oral fluid from flowing onto the treatment head 19. After the protective sleeve 25 is wrapped, the side of the flexible membrane 27 assembled with the control baffle 26 is aligned with the patient's oral cavity. The baffle 26, in conjunction with the return spring 29, elastically slides the limiting plate 28, which presses against the outside of the protective sleeve 25. A small amount of pressure is also applied to the inlet pipe 14 and the outlet pipe 15 to control the position of the baffle 26 and prevent swallowing during cold compresses. Before using the treatment head 19, the patient's lesion is examined through the camera 20 assembled with the treatment head 19. During operation, the camera 20... The suction tube 23, assembled and disassembled via the suction component 21, drains the saliva produced by the patient during treatment. Depending on individual economic circumstances, the treatment head 19 can be used alone or with or without the disposable protective sleeve 25. Each time the disposable protective sleeve 25 is replaced, the treatment head 19 and the connecting tube must be disinfected, and the flexible membrane 27 assembled with the baffle 26 must be replaced. The position of the baffle 26 can be adjusted according to the location of the individual's mucosal inflammation. During adjustment, the baffle 26 is pushed by the finger to squeeze the return spring 29, controlling the baffle 26 to release the pressure on the protective sleeve 25, thereby adjusting the position of the baffle 26, increasing the convenience of adjustment, improving the safety of use, and avoiding cross-infection.

However, it should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the inventive concept, without requiring creative effort.
