Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to an application device for damaged skin. Background Technology

[0002] Nursing staff routinely use cotton swabs to administer medication to wounds of patients with skin diseases. When scaling occurs at the affected area, the residual scales can cause poor adhesion of wet dressings. Because wet dressings can lock in the medication and prevent it from drying out quickly, thus prolonging its efficacy, clinical practice generally follows the sequence of applying medication first, followed by wet dressing. In light of these existing problems, this project will focus on researching a method for simultaneously applying medication and removing scales. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to provide a device for applying medication to damaged skin, which can clean up scales while applying medication.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A wiping device for broken skin, comprising a handle, a tube body, and a wiping mechanism, wherein the tube body is connected to the handle and the wiping mechanism is located within the tube body; the wiping mechanism includes a wiping and cleaning unit and a wiping head removal unit, wherein the wiping head removal unit includes a wiping box connected to the inner wall of the tube body, one end of the wiping box being an inclined surface with a wiping port at the inclined surface; the wiping and cleaning unit includes a wiping and cleaning plate, a wiping and cleaning rod, a wiping and cleaning head, and a connection reminder part, wherein the wiping and cleaning plate is connected to the tube body and has a spiral groove, the wiping and cleaning rod being movable along the spiral groove, and the wiping and cleaning head being connected to the wiping and cleaning rod; the connection reminder part includes a release element and two connecting elements. The release mechanism includes a T-shaped release rod and a release spring. The release spring can drive the T-shaped release rod to reset. The wiping and cleaning rod has a T-shaped groove and a sliding groove. The T-shaped release rod is slidably set in the T-shaped groove, and the end of the T-shaped release rod is located at the end of the wiping and cleaning rod. Each connector includes a wedge and a connecting spring. The wedge is slidably connected to the sliding groove, and there is a gap between the wedge and the sliding groove. The side wall of the sliding groove has a groove, and the wedge has a protrusion. The wiping and cleaning head has a U-shaped narrowing groove, and the side wall of the U-shaped narrowing groove has a wedge groove. The T-shaped release rod and the connecting spring cooperate to drive the wedge to slide out of the sliding groove and then lock into the wedge groove. After the wiping and cleaning head passes the inclined surface of the chip collection box, the wedge exits from the wedge groove and the protrusion locks into the groove.

[0005] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: When applying medication to patients, nurses first connect the application head to the application rod, then squeeze the ointment onto the application head. The nurse holds the handle and places the tube on the skin to be treated, such as an arm ulcer. The application rod moves along the spiral groove to apply the medication from the inside out to the skin ulcer. During the application process, the application head can also push some scales into the collection box, thereby improving the adhesion of the subsequent wet dressing. In addition, automatic medication application helps reduce the time nurses spend directly viewing the ulcer.

[0006] As the cleaning head passes the inclined surface of the cleaning box, it moves relative to the cleaning rod, causing the wedge to exit from the wedge groove. Then, the protrusion engages in the groove, at which point the cleaning head and the cleaning rod are disconnected. When the cleaning head passes the cleaning port, it falls into the cleaning box, completing the medication application for one patient. During the removal of the tube, the cleaning rod resets.

[0007] Before applying medication to the next patient, a new application head and cleaning rod need to be connected. Because the protrusion on the wedge is already engaged in the groove, the application head and cleaning rod cannot be directly connected. Therefore, pulling the T-shaped release lever is necessary to move the wedge and release the groove's restriction on the protrusion, allowing the wedge to slide out of the groove and connect the application head and cleaning rod. Pulling the T-shaped release lever serves as a clear behavioral reminder. Before assembling the application head, the end face of the cleaning rod, the end face of the tube, and the debris collection box need to be disinfected. This standardizes the operating procedure and ensures efficient operation. Standardization prevents the omission of disinfection steps due to human error. When new nursing staff first operate the equipment, pulling the T-shaped release lever provides a direct and noticeable pause, proactively reminding them to complete the disinfection process. This shifts from a conscious reminder to a standard operating procedure, eliminating reliance on staff remembering to disinfect on the spot. Instead, the pull-operated design makes pre-assembly disinfection a standard prerequisite for changing the cleaning head. Even if staff become more proficient and less aware of the reminders, they cannot skip the pull step and proceed directly to assembly. Over time, this fosters a fixed work habit of disinfecting first and then assembling, transforming ad-hoc reminders into deeply ingrained, routine operating procedures.

[0008] Furthermore, the coating and dust removal unit also includes an upper guide plate, which is also provided with a spiral groove. A rotating motor is slidably arranged in the spiral groove. A sprocket and a chain running around the sprocket are rotatably arranged in the spiral groove of the coating and dust removal plate. The chain includes several chain links and connecting pins connecting adjacent chain links. One of the connecting pins is provided with a through hole. The coating and dust removal rod passes through the through hole and is connected to the rotating motor. The coating and dust removal rod is rotatably connected to the through hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the spiral groove sidewall of the upper guide plate is provided with a friction layer, and the rotating motor contacts the friction layer.

[0010] Furthermore, the coating and cleaning unit also includes a lower guide plate, which is also provided with a spiral groove for guiding the middle part of the coating and cleaning rod.

[0011] Furthermore, an installation frame is welded to the inner wall of the pipe, and the chip collection box is detachably connected to the installation frame. The end face of the installation frame is also provided with an inclined surface that connects with the inclined surface of the chip collection box.

[0012] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the chip collection box is inclined. Attached Figure Description
