Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a light-proof observation cover for an infusion pump. Background Technology

[0002] In hospital wards, especially at night, maintaining a dimly lit and quiet resting environment is crucial for promoting sleep and recovery. However, many medical devices, such as infusion pumps, emit relatively bright light from their LCD screens, backlit buttons, and various status indicator lights when in operation. This light is particularly noticeable in dimly lit ward environments, causing continuous light interference for patients, especially those who are light-sensitive or suffer from neurasthenia. This can affect their rest and sleep quality, and may even induce anxiety, hindering recovery.

[0003] Previously, the common clinical approach to this problem was to simply cover the infusion pump with a treatment towel or sheet. While this method could block some light, it had significant drawbacks: 1. Incomplete light blocking allows light to seep through gaps, affecting the light-blocking effect; 2. The infusion pump's operation was completely obscured, preventing medical staff from observing key parameters such as infusion rate and remaining volume without removing the covering. This seriously affected the timeliness and convenience of clinical monitoring and posed a safety hazard. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects and provide a light-proof observation cover for an infusion pump.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A light-shielding observation cover for an infusion pump includes a light-shielding cloth one and a light-shielding cloth two. The lower ends of the light-shielding cloth one and the light-shielding cloth two are fixedly connected. Both the light-shielding cloth one and the light-shielding cloth two have observation windows. Several Velcro fasteners are fixedly connected to the inner sides of the light-shielding cloth one and the light-shielding cloth two. The Velcro fasteners on the light-shielding cloth one and the light-shielding cloth two are adhered to each other. Two light-shielding cloth threes are provided. The upper ends of the two light-shielding cloth threes are respectively fixedly connected to the outer sides of the light-shielding cloth one and the light-shielding cloth two. The light-shielding cloth threes cover the observation windows.

[0006] Specifically, the first and second light-shielding fabrics are arranged in parallel. This parallel structure allows them to better fit the regular rectangular or near-rectangular sides of the infusion pump, forming a neat wrapping space, improving space utilization and appearance.

[0007] Specifically, the observation windows on the first and second light-shielding cloths are positioned correspondingly. These corresponding observation windows ensure that when the light-shielding cover is placed on the infusion pump, the observation windows on both sides can be precisely aligned with the areas to be observed on either side of the infusion pump, guaranteeing a wide field of view.

[0008] Specifically, the inner sides of the first and second light-blocking fabrics have multiple Velcro fasteners that are staggered. These multiple fasteners provide strong, multi-point fastening, preventing the cover from opening due to accidental pulling. The staggered arrangement allows the adhesive surfaces to overlap and interlock longitudinally when the two fabrics are bonded, greatly enhancing the seal at the joint and effectively preventing light from entering through the gap between the two fabrics.

[0009] Specifically, the upper end of the third light-shielding cloth is fixedly connected to the outer edge of the first or second light-shielding cloth. This design connects the third light-shielding cloth to the outside of the main light-shielding cloth, which firstly avoids occupying the internal space of the cover and prevents interference with the infusion pump body or pipeline; secondly, it covers the observation window from the outside, and the opening and closing operations are all performed from the outside, which is more convenient and intuitive.

[0010] Specifically, the overall area of ​​the light-blocking cloth three is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the observation window. This ensures that the light-blocking cloth three, in its natural hanging state, can completely cover its corresponding observation window without gaps, achieving the best light-blocking effect. When the area is slightly larger, it can also form a certain overlap margin, enhancing the reliability of light blocking.

[0011] Specifically, the two light-blocking cloths 3 are respectively arranged perpendicular to the light-blocking cloth 1 and the light-blocking cloth 2. When hanging naturally, the vertically arranged light-blocking cloths 3 can flatly adhere to the outer surface of the light-blocking cloth 1 or the light-blocking cloth 2, tightly covering the observation window. When observation is needed, they can be lifted upwards or to the side smoothly, and due to gravity, they can automatically return to their original position to cover the window after being released.

[0012] Specifically, a hole is provided between the lower ends of the first and second light-shielding fabrics. This hole is used to allow the infusion tubing to be led out from inside the light-shielding cover and connected to the patient's intravenous access. The design of the hole prevents the tubing from being squeezed and also allows the cover to completely cover the infusion pump without leaving an open gap for the tubing, thus maintaining the integrity of the light-shielding cover.

[0013] The advantages of this invention compared to existing technologies are: 1. This invention uses two light-shielding sheets to form the main light-shielding cover, providing complete light protection for the infusion pump. Simultaneously, observation windows are provided at corresponding observation positions and covered with a movable light-shielding sheet three. When medical staff need to check the infusion pump parameters, they only need to gently lift the light-shielding sheet three for observation, without needing to undo or remove the entire light-shielding cover. This operation is extremely convenient, maintains uninterrupted light protection, and solves the problem of traditional shading methods being unable to provide adequate observation.

[0014] 2. The cover is closed using interlocking hook and loop fasteners on the inside. The staggered arrangement of multiple fasteners creates a cross-locking effect, significantly improving the light-sealing performance at the seams and effectively preventing light leakage, thus ensuring reliable light-blocking. The hook and loop fastening method is also more secure than simple overlapping or strapping, making it less prone to loosening.

[0015] 3. The entire device is constructed from flexible, light-shielding fabric, resulting in a lightweight and simple structure that is easy to manufacture, clean, and disinfect. Its wrap-around design is compatible with various brands and models of plunger or peristaltic infusion pumps, offering excellent versatility. The holes at the lower end accommodate the needs of infusion tubing, making the design more user-friendly.

[0016] 4. The entire process of using the device is simple and quick—place the infusion pump into the open cover, align the observation window, close the cover with Velcro, and then lead out the tubing. During observation, only a small piece of light-blocking cloth needs to be manipulated, greatly simplifying the workflow for clinical nurses and improving nursing efficiency.

[0019] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals.

[0020] It should be noted that the terms “front,” “back,” “left,” “right,” “up,” and “down” used in the following description refer to the directions shown in the attached diagram, while the terms “inside” and “outside” refer to the directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0021] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the technical solution of the present invention is: a light-shielding observation cover for an infusion pump, mainly composed of light-shielding cloth 1, light-shielding cloth 2, observation window 3, Velcro 4, and light-shielding cloth 3 5. Its core design concept is to construct a flexible light-shielding cover that can be opened and closed, fixed, and equipped with an openable and closable observation window, so as to provide medical personnel with a convenient observation channel while ensuring strict light protection for the infusion pump during the infusion of photosensitive drugs.

[0023] In one embodiment of the invention, light-blocking fabric 1 and light-blocking fabric 2 are two main flexible sheets constituting the main body of the light-shielding cover. They are made of a dark-colored composite fabric that combines excellent light-blocking performance and active heat dissipation. For example, a structure can be used with an outer layer of high-density light-blocking woven fabric and an inner layer of thermally conductive fiber mesh or microporous heat-dissipating fleece. The inner surface can have a dark coating to enhance light absorption, while the thermal conductivity of the material helps to conduct and diffuse heat from the infusion pump casing. Light-blocking fabric 1 and light-blocking fabric 2 are arranged in parallel. They are structurally symmetrical, and their dimensions can be designed according to the size of common infusion pumps to cover the front, back, and top of the pump. The lower ends of light-blocking fabric 1 and light-blocking fabric 2 are fixedly connected. This "fixed connection" can be achieved by sewing, hot-press bonding, or high-frequency welding to tightly join their lower edges together, forming a basic structure resembling a "book" or "tent" with a connected bottom. A hole is opened at the center or near one end of the lower end connection point. The diameter of the hole is slightly larger than that of the infusion tubing. Its function is to allow the pump tubing of the infusion pump to pass through here and connect to the patient's infusion end, thereby ensuring that the infusion tubing is unobstructed while allowing the cover to completely enclose the pump body as much as possible.

[0024] The materials of light-blocking cloth 1 and light-blocking cloth 2 should be flexible materials with excellent light-blocking performance, such as multi-layer composite black or dark-colored coated fabrics, non-woven fabrics, etc., to ensure that the transmittance of visible light is extremely low in order to meet the light-blocking requirements.

[0025] An observation window 3 is provided in the middle or slightly above the light-shielding cloth 1 and light-shielding cloth 2, and the two observation windows 3 are positioned opposite each other. The shape of the observation window 3 is usually rectangular, square, or circular, and its size and position are designed so that when the light shield is placed on the target infusion pump, the observation window 3 can be precisely aligned with the infusion pump's display screen, working status indicator lights, and other areas that need to be observed. The observation window 3 can be a transparent window directly opened on the light-shielding cloth, but a more preferred embodiment is to sew a transparent observation film at the window, allowing medical personnel to read the characters and providing preliminary observation. For further light protection, light-shielding cloth 3 5 is still required for coverage.

[0026] To achieve closure and fixation of the cover, several Velcro straps 4 are fixedly connected to the inner sides of both the light-blocking fabric 1 and the light-blocking fabric 2. Here, "inner side" refers to the side of the two light-blocking fabrics facing each other when the light-blocking cover is closed to enclose the infusion pump. The Velcro straps 4 include hook sides and loop sides, which are typically sewn onto corresponding positions on the inner sides of the light-blocking fabric 1 and the light-blocking fabric 2. More importantly, there are multiple Velcro straps 4 arranged in an alternating pattern. For example, on the inner side of the light-blocking fabric 1, two Velcro hook sides can be sewn longitudinally, one near the upper edge and the other near the lower center. On the corresponding position on the inner side of the light-blocking fabric 2, two Velcro loop sides are sewn, but their vertical positions are staggered from the hook sides on the light-blocking fabric 1. When the cover is closed, the upper hook side of the light-blocking fabric 1 is adhered to the middle loop side of the light-blocking fabric 2, and the middle hook side of the light-blocking fabric 1 is adhered to the lower loop side of the light-blocking fabric 2. This staggered bonding method creates an overlap and misalignment at the seam of the two light-blocking fabrics in the longitudinal direction, similar to a "zipper" but not continuous. This effectively seals the seam, preventing light from directly escaping through the straight seam where the two fabrics meet, significantly improving the light-blocking effect and connection strength. The Velcro 4 on the light-blocking fabric 1 and light-blocking fabric 2 are then bonded together, tightly wrapping and securing the entire cover to the infusion pump.

[0027] To allow observation without opening the main cover, this invention includes two light-shielding sheets (3, 5). These two sheets correspond to the observation windows (3) on the light-shielding sheets (1 and 2, respectively). The upper ends of the two sheets are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the light-shielding sheets (1 and 2, respectively), i.e., to the side facing away from the infusion pump. The preferred method of connection is sewing. The overall area of ​​the light-shielding sheets (3, 5) is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the observation window (3) to ensure complete coverage of the lower observation window (3) without any light gaps. The material of the light-shielding sheets (3, 5) is the same as or similar to the main light-shielding sheet, being a flexible, heat-dissipating, light-shielding material.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the two light-shielding sheets 3 5 are respectively arranged perpendicular to the light-shielding sheet 1 and the light-shielding sheet 2. This means that the upper edge of the light-shielding sheet 3 5 is sewn perpendicularly to the outer surface of the light-shielding sheet 1 or the light-shielding sheet 2, so that the light-shielding sheet 3 5, in its natural state, can hang flat on the outside of the light-shielding sheet 1 or the light-shielding sheet 2, tightly covering the observation window 3, by its own weight or flexibility. When observation is needed, medical staff only need to pinch the lower part or side of the light-shielding sheet 3 5 with their fingers and gently lift it upward or to the side to view the infusion pump screen through the observation window 3. After observation, release the hand, and the light-shielding sheet 3 5 will naturally fall down under the action of gravity, automatically covering the observation window 3 again, restoring the completely light-proof state. This design is extremely simple and quick to operate.

[0029] In actual use, first ensure that the infusion pump is set up and running. Then, place the open light shield from above or to the side of the infusion pump, positioning the pump body between light shield 1 and light shield 2. Adjust the position of the shield so that the observation window 3 on light shield 1 and light shield 2 is aligned with the display screen area of ​​the infusion pump. Lead the infusion tubing out through the hole between the lower ends of light shield 1 and light shield 2.

[0030] Bring together light-blocking cloth 1 and light-blocking cloth 2 to wrap around the infusion pump. Press and adhere the hook side of the inner side of light-blocking cloth 1 to the corresponding loop side of the inner side of light-blocking cloth 2. Since there are multiple hook and loop fasteners 4, ensure that all corresponding hook and loop fasteners are firmly bonded during adhesion. At this point, the seams of the two light-blocking cloths will be interlocked, forming a well-sealed light-proof space that completely wraps around the main body of the infusion pump.

[0031] During the infusion process, the light-shielding cover continuously provides light protection for the infusion pump. When medical staff need to check the infusion rate, remaining time, alarm information, etc., there is no need to unfasten the Velcro 4 and open the entire cover. They can simply walk to the infusion pump and gently lift the light-shielding cloth 3 5 covering the corresponding observation window 3 to observe directly. After observation, the light-shielding cloth 3 5 is released, and it automatically droops down to close the observation window 3 again.
