Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a breast heat therapy device. Background Technology

[0002] With social development, especially in the medical industry, more and more equipment has been put into the treatment of women's breast diseases, giving women a greater sense of security. However, breast diseases are common and frequently occurring diseases, and are major threats to women's physical and mental health. They are divided into five categories: mastitis, breast hyperplasia, breast fibroadenoma, breast cysts, and breast cancer. Some postpartum women suffer from mastitis and breast pain, and oral medication is slow to take effect. Applying hot compresses to treat internal diseases externally is effective, but simply using a damp hot towel for hot compresses results in uneven heating, short duration, and is cumbersome, time-consuming, and laborious. Furthermore, the water dripping from the towel during the hot compress process can easily wet the patient's clothes, causing inconvenience. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a hot compress device for clinical use in breast diseases.

[0003] To this end, Chinese Patent No. CN215192846U discloses a "Clinical Hot Compress Device for Breast Surgery". Its main structure includes a shell, both of which are hemispherical shells. Each of the two shells has a corresponding cavity inside. One end of each of the two shells is fixedly connected to a corresponding water inlet pipe. One end of each of the two shells is fixedly connected to a connecting plate on one side of opposite sides. One side of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to a water pump. This clinical hot compress device for breast surgery can first pour an appropriate amount of warm water into the corresponding cavity, then cover the two shells on the corresponding breasts of the patient, and finally fix the device to the patient. The water pump, in conjunction with two annular heating wires, achieves the purpose of circulating warm water within the shell, continuously providing hot compresses to the patient's breasts. It replaces the traditional towel hot compress, is convenient to use, and avoids the situation of water wetting clothes.

[0004] In reality, the heating of the liquid by the resistance wire is transferred to the interior of the hemispherical shell, thereby heating the hemispherical shell. The concave surface of the hemispherical shell generates high temperature, thus providing heat to the breast. However, the degree of fit between the concave surface of the hemispherical shell and the patient's breast is very low, resulting in uneven heating of the breast. Furthermore, there is no liquid involved in the heating process, which leads to dry skin and lack of moisture after heating. Summary of the Invention

During operation, the terminal 57 is connected to a current controller that can control the magnitude of alternating current, and the fixed base 1 is fixedly installed on the surface of a stable structure. In addition, before use, the heat therapy fabric 66 needs to be soaked in hot water and retain an appropriate amount of moisture.

[0018] To achieve timely heating of the flowing gas, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 An electromagnetic heating mechanism 5 needs to be set up. Its structure includes a heating shell 51 with a hollow structure installed in the fixed base 1, an electromagnetic coil 56 installed inside the heating shell 51 that can generate an alternating magnetic field after an alternating current is applied, a metal rod 59 that is heated after being subjected to the alternating magnetic field, a fan blade 510 that rotates with the metal rod 59 and generates gas flow, and a driven pulley 511 that makes the metal rod 59 rotate with the drive pulley 3 via a synchronous belt 4. An alternating circuit is injected into the electromagnetic coil 56 through a current controller. At this time, the electromagnetic coil 56 generates an alternating magnetic field. Under the action of the alternating magnetic field, the metal rod 59 is heated and a high temperature phenomenon is generated. At the same time, the drive motor 2 is started. The rotating driven pulley 511 will cause the metal rod 59 to rotate, and the metal rod 59 will drive the fan blade 510 to rotate in a specific direction. When the fan blade 510 rotates, it will cause the external gas to flow to the first docking channel 55, thereby realizing the function of timely heating of the flowing gas.

[0019] For details regarding the specific structure of the electromagnetic heating mechanism 5, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4It also includes a first gas flow cavity 52 disposed at the center of the heating shell 51. The heating shell 51 has first gas flow channels 53 integrally formed at both ends, one end of which has a first docking channel 55 integrally formed. The heating shell 51 has an annular cavity 54 surrounding the first gas flow cavity 52. ​​An electromagnetic coil 56 is installed in the annular cavity 54. Terminals 57 penetrating the heating shell 51 are installed at both ends of the electromagnetic coil 56. The two ends of the metal rod 59 are mounted to the first gas flow channel via bearings and hollow brackets 58. Inside 53, the metal rod 59 has multiple rotating fan blades 510 mounted on its body inside the first gas flow chamber 52. The metal rod 59 has a driven pulley 511 mounted on its body at the air inlet end. The driven pulley 511 and the drive pulley 3 are linked by a synchronous belt 4. After the drive motor 2 starts, the gas flow caused by the fan blades 510 flows to the first docking channel 55. The terminal 57 is connected to a current controller that can control the magnitude of the alternating current. The fan blades 510 are made of high-temperature resistant non-magnetic material. The air inlet end face of the driven pulley 511 is provided with a pointed structure to facilitate the gas flow to the tail end.

[0020] To ensure the patient's breasts are properly moistened during warm compresses, please refer to [link to relevant instructions]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 A ventilated hot compress mechanism 6 needs to be installed. Its structure includes a hollow cover 64 that is connected to the exhaust port of the heating shell 51 and can be covered around the patient's breast, and a hot compress fabric 66 that is set in the concave surface of the hollow cover 64 and can fit against the surface of the breast. The hot compress fabric 66 with a certain degree of humidity and the hollow cover 64 are placed upside down on the patient's breast. Due to the deformation ability of the hot compress fabric 66, the hot compress fabric 66 will fit against the outer surface of the breast. At the same time, hot air will enter the two hollow covers 64 through the three-way pipe 61 and heat the hot compress fabric 66. The heated gas flows outward through the vent 67. The high temperature gas can heat the hot compress fabric 66 with a certain degree of humidity at all times to ensure the hot compress effect of the hot compress fabric 66 on the breast. Thus, the patient's breast can be hot compressed on the basis of a certain degree of humidity to ensure the moisture level of the breast environment.

[0021] For details regarding the specific structure of the ventilated heat therapy mechanism 6, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 5 and Figure 6It also includes a three-way tube 61 with a hollow internal structure. The three-way tube 61 is connected to a first docking channel 55 through a first connecting hose 62. The two exhaust ports of the three-way tube 61 are connected to two hollow covers 64 through a second connecting hose 63. The hollow cover 64 has a concave cavity 65 with a concave structure inside. The hollow cover 64 is encapsulated with a heat-compressing fabric 66 at the opening end of the concave cavity 65. The outer surface of the hollow cover 64 is provided with a vent 67 that connects the external space and the concave cavity 65.

[0022] In use, the terminal 57 is connected to a current controller capable of controlling the alternating current magnitude, and the fixing base 1 is fixedly installed on the surface of a stable structure. Furthermore, before use, the heat-compressing fabric 66 needs to be soaked in hot water, retaining a suitable amount of moisture. The slightly damp heat-compressing fabric 66 and the hollow cover 64 are then placed upside down on the patient's breast. Due to the deformation capability of the heat-compressing fabric 66, it will adhere to the outer surface of the breast. An alternating circuit is injected into the electromagnetic coil 56 through the current controller. At this time, the electromagnetic coil 56 generates an alternating magnetic field. Under the action of the alternating magnetic field, the metal... The rod 59 is heated, generating a high temperature. Simultaneously, the drive motor 2 is activated, and the rotating driven pulley 511 causes the metal rod 59 to rotate. The metal rod 59 then drives the fan blade 510 to rotate in a specific direction. When the fan blade 510 rotates, it causes the outside air to flow to the first docking channel 55. The hot air enters the two hollow covers 64 through the three-way pipe 61 and heats the heat-compressing fabric 66. The heated air flows outward through the vent 67. The high-temperature gas can continuously heat the heat-compressing fabric 66, which has a certain degree of humidity, to ensure the heat-compressing effect of the heat-compressing fabric 66 on the breast.
