Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of diabetes treatment aids, and in particular to an endocrine diabetes treatment aid with adjustable insulin pump position. Background Technology

[0002] An insulin pump is used to deliver insulin into the body, mimicking the pancreas to continuously infuse insulin, replacing multiple daily injections. It provides a continuous, 24-hour infusion of basal insulin, replacing morning and evening long-acting insulin, stabilizing fasting and nighttime blood sugar levels, and preventing early morning hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. It mainly consists of a needle, infusion tubing, and the insulin pump itself. Inside the pump are the infusion pump and insulin reservoir. During use, the infusion pump delivers insulin through the tubing and needle into the body to regulate blood sugar. A current problem with insulin pumps is that they need to be held in a specific position on the body. Insulin pumps are typically attached to the body using tape to maintain stability. Common attachment points include the arm, thigh, or abdomen. However, tape has drawbacks: it's uncomfortable, the position is difficult to adjust after attachment, and the lack of breathability can lead to sweating, causing the tape to weaken and detach. Some insulin pumps use hooks to attach to a belt for fixation, but these hooks are also prone to instability, and are ineffective for women wearing skirts without a belt. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention provides an adjustable insulin pump position assistive device for endocrine diabetes treatment. It can stabilize the insulin pump body in a specific position on the human body by using an elastic bandage, a flexible slide rail and a flexible slide plate, so as to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the insulin pump body.

[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is achieved by the following technical solution: This invention provides an adjustable insulin pump position assistive device for endocrine diabetes treatment, comprising a U-shaped clamp for holding the insulin pump body and a restraint component for binding the human body. A guide post is connected to the rear wall of the U-shaped clamp, and a flexible slide is fixedly connected to the end of the guide post away from the U-shaped clamp. The restraint component includes a stretchable elastic bandage, and a flexible slide rail is fixedly connected to the surface of the elastic bandage. The slide rail has a T-shaped cross-section, and the elastic modulus of the flexible slide rail is less than that of the flexible slide. When the flexible slide is placed inside the flexible slide rail, the elastic bandage is wrapped around the position of the human body that needs to be fixed. The flexible slide rail and the flexible slide are bent synchronously, thereby generating a contact pressure between the flexible slide rail and the flexible slide, thus ensuring that the insulin pump body is stably fixed in the human body position.

[0005] Preferably, the flexible slide rail extends at the center of the elastic bandage and has sufficient length reserved at both ends of the elastic bandage, and the two ends of the elastic bandage are detachably connected.

[0006] Preferably, a cavity is formed inside the rear wall of the U-shaped clamp, and a toothed disc is integrally formed at one end of the guide post near the U-shaped clamp and is located inside the cavity. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide post at a position between the toothed disc and the rear wall of the U-shaped clamp, and a toothed groove is formed at the position opposite to the toothed disc in the cavity.

[0007] Preferably, a threaded rod is provided on the side wall of the U-shaped clamp, and a handwheel is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod outside the U-shaped clamp, while an abutment plug is rotatably connected to the other end of the threaded rod inside the U-shaped clamp.

[0008] Preferably, the elastic bandage has ventilation holes.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the elastic bandage is fixedly connected to a hook, and a buckle is provided on the elastic bandage near the other end.

[0010] Preferably, the flexible slide rail is made of rubber or plastic, and the flexible slide plate is made of plastic or metal.

[0011] Preferably, the flexible slide and the flexible slide rail are fitted with a clearance fit or a transition fit.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by setting up a flexible slide rail and a flexible slide plate in combination, the position of the insulin pump can be fixed after the elastic bandage is bound to the human body. Specifically, when the flexible slide rail and the flexible slide plate are in a straight line, it is easy to adjust the relative position of the flexible slide plate and the flexible slide rail. When both the flexible slide rail and the flexible slide plate are in a bent state, there is sufficient maximum static friction between the flexible slide plate and the flexible slide rail to prevent relative movement between the flexible slide plate and the flexible slide rail, thereby fixing the position of the insulin pump. At the same time, when it is necessary to adjust the position of the insulin pump, it is only necessary to apply a large external force along the extension direction of the flexible slide rail to the U-shaped clamp to adjust the horizontal position of the pump.

[0013] By engaging the toothed disc at the end of the guide post with the toothed groove inside the chamber, the angle of the insulin pump can be adjusted and locked. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0018] refer to Figures 1-6This invention provides an adjustable insulin pump position assistive device for endocrine diabetes treatment, comprising a U-shaped clamp 4 for holding the insulin pump body 1. The U-shaped clamp 4 can be made of hard plastic or metal. The groove of the U-shaped clamp 4 has sufficient width to accommodate the width of the insulin pump body 1. A threaded rod 6 is threadedly connected to the side wall of the U-shaped clamp 4. An abutment plug 5 is rotatably connected to one end of the threaded rod 6 inside the U-shaped clamp 4, and a handwheel 7 is fixedly connected to the other end of the threaded rod 6 outside the U-shaped clamp 4. By rotating the handwheel 7, the position of the abutment plug 5 inside the U-shaped clamp 4 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the effective clamping width of the U-shaped clamp 4. After the insulin pump body 1 is placed inside the U-shaped clamp 4, the handwheel 7 can be rotated to adjust the position of the abutment plug 5 inside the U-shaped clamp 4. The handwheel 7, via the threaded rod 6, drives the abutment plug 5 to compress the outer wall of the insulin pump body 1, thereby stabilizing the insulin pump body 1 and the U-shaped splint 4. This allows the U-shaped splint 4 to be fixed in a specific position on the body. Specifically, the U-shaped splint 4 is fixed in this position using an abdominal binder. The abdominal binder is an elastic bandage 801, connected to the U-shaped splint 4 via a flexible slide rail 802, a flexible slide plate 10, and a guide post 9. The rear wall of the U-shaped splint 4 is connected to the guide post 9, and a flexible slide plate 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide post 9 furthest from the U-shaped splint 4. The flexible slide rail 802 is fixedly connected to the elastic bandage 801, and the flexible slide rail 802 has a T-shaped groove. After the flexible slide 10 is placed inside the slide groove, it can slide along the track of the slide groove. The flexible slide rail 802 is fixedly connected to the elastic bandage 801. When a person is restrained by the elastic bandage 801, the elastic bandage 801 adheres to the body according to the curvature of the body. When the elastic bandage 801 bends, the flexible slide groove on the elastic bandage 801 also bends synchronously. When the flexible slide 10 is pre-placed inside the flexible slide groove, the flexible slide 10 also bends synchronously. When the flexible slide 10 bends under the action of the flexible slide groove, a large contact pressure is generated between the flexible slide 10 and the flexible slide groove, so that there is static friction between the two to prevent relative displacement. To achieve relative static friction without relative displacement, one approach is to increase the contact pressure between the flexible slide 10 and the flexible slide rail 802. Another approach is to increase the coefficient of friction between them. Specifically, the elastic modulus of the flexible slide rail 802 can be designed to be smaller than that of the flexible slide 10. This design results in the flexible slide rail 802 being softer and more prone to deformation, while the flexible slide 10 is harder and less prone to deformation. When the flexible slide rail 802 bends, it will cause the flexible slide 10 to bend as well. Because the flexible slide 10 is harder, the contact pressure between them is greater when the flexible slide 10 is bent by the flexible slide rail 802, thus achieving maximum static friction adjustment.The coefficient of friction can be adjusted by the materials of the flexible slide rail 802 and the flexible slide plate 10, or by applying corresponding coatings to their surfaces. Specifically, for example, the flexible slide plate 10 can be made of plastic and the flexible slide rail 802 of rubber, or the flexible slide plate 10 can be made of an elastic metal and the flexible slide rail 802 of plastic. Alternatively, a wear-resistant coating can be applied to both the flexible slide plate 10 and the flexible slide rail 802 to adjust the coefficient of friction. To allow the flexible slide plate 10 to slide within the flexible slide rail 802, it should slide easily when both are in a straight line. When the flexible slide rail 802 and the flexible slide plate 10 are bent, they should generate contact pressure. This is achieved through a clearance fit or a transition fit between the flexible slide plate 10 and the flexible slide rail 802.

[0019] Furthermore, to make the elastic bandage 801 suitable for people of different body types, a flexible slide rail 802 extends from the elastic bandage 801, with its extension located at the center of the elastic bandage 801. Sufficient length is reserved at both ends of the elastic bandage 801 for stretchable sections 8011. During use, because the flexible slide rail 802 extends from the center of the elastic bandage 801, the center of the elastic bandage 801 cannot be stretched, while the two ends can be stretched. This stretching allows for restraint of people of different body types. The two ends of the elastic bandage 801 are detachable. The detachable connection can be achieved through Velcro or by fixing a hook 11 to one end of the elastic bandage 801 and a hook 12 at the other end. The detachable connection is achieved through the hook 11 and the hook 12. Specifically, the length of the stretchable section 8011 of the elastic bandage 801 in its natural state is not limited. When it needs to be fixed on the arm of the human body, a shorter stretchable section 8011 can be selected. When it needs to be fixed on the waist of the human body, an elastic bandage 801 with a longer stretchable section 8011 can be selected.

[0020] Furthermore, to enable angle adjustment of the insulin pump body 1, a chamber 16 is formed inside the rear wall of the U-shaped clamp 4. The chamber 16 has an installation space, and one end of the guide post 9 is located inside this space, allowing it to move within a certain range. A toothed disc 13 is integrally formed at the end of the guide post 9 inside the chamber 16. A groove 15 is formed inside the chamber 16 opposite to the toothed disc 13. When the toothed disc 13 and the groove 15 mesh, the angle of the insulin pump body 1 is locked. When the toothed disc 13 disengages from the groove 15, the angle of the insulin pump body 1 is unlocked. Specifically, outside the guide post 9 and at the position between the toothed disc 13 and the U-shaped clamp 4... A spring 14 is fitted between the rear walls of the splint 4. The function of the spring 14 is to keep the toothed disc 13 and the toothed groove 15 engaged in their natural state. When the person uses the elastic bandage 801 to restrain the body, the person pulls the U-shaped splint 4 outward, causing the end of the guide post 9 inside the chamber 16 of the U-shaped splint 4 to move outward. The spring 14 is compressed, and at this time the toothed disc 13 of the guide post 9 disengages from the toothed groove 15. By rotating the U-shaped splint 4, the angle of the insulin pump body 1 can be adjusted. When the pulling force applied to the U-shaped splint 4 is removed, the toothed disc 13 returns to the engaged state with the toothed groove 15 under the action of the spring 14. At this time, the angle of the insulin pump body 1 returns to the locked state.

[0021] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the elastic bandage 801 is breathable, ventilation holes are provided on the elastic bandage 801 to ensure the breathability of the bound area. The material of the elastic bandage 801 can be a blend or composite structure of elastic fiber and base fiber. The specific composition of its material is quite common in daily life and will not be described in detail here.

[0022] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
