Current cold compress methods usually use wet cold towels or ice bags for cold compresses. When using wet cold towels for cold compresses, the cold amount is difficult to meet the use requirements continuously, and when using ice bags for cold compresses, people need to hold them fixed for a long time, and they cannot be shaped to fully contact the neck surface. Therefore, a medical device with better cold compress effect is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model aims to provide a cold compress neck girdle to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art and at least provide a beneficial choice or create conditions.

[0004] The solution of the utility model to solve the technical problem is:

[0005] A cold compress neck girdle comprises: a cold compress belt, wherein a liquid storage cavity is arranged inside, a plurality of the liquid storage cavities are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the cold compress belt, two adjacent liquid storage cavities are communicated with each other, and the two ends of the cold compress belt are detachably connected; a liquid storage tank, wherein one side is connected with a water supply pipe and a return water pipe, the water supply pipe is connected to the liquid storage cavity at one end of the cold compress belt, and the return water pipe is connected to the liquid storage cavity at the other end of the cold compress belt, and a water pump is arranged inside the liquid storage tank, and the water pump can make the water in the water supply pipe flow to the liquid storage cavity.

[0006] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: cold water can be stored in the liquid storage chamber, and the cold water in the liquid storage tank can be input into the cold compress belt through a water pump, and the multiple liquid storage chambers in the cold compress belt are filled. Since the liquid storage chambers in the cold compress belt are arranged in multiple intervals along the length direction of the cold compress belt, the cold compress belt can be wrapped around the human neck, and the two ends of the cold compress belt can be connected so that the cold compress belt is positioned on the human neck. At this time, the cold compress belt as a whole can be deformed according to the shape of the human neck, especially at the interval between two adjacent liquid storage chambers of the cold compress belt, it can be better deformed to fit the appearance of the neck, and the position of the cold compress belt in the liquid storage chamber realizes the main cooling effect on the human neck, so that the cold compress belt can better cool the human neck. In addition, the liquid storage tank can continuously supply cold water to the liquid storage chamber, and the water after heat exchange in the liquid storage chamber flows back to the liquid storage chamber from the return pipe, so that continuous cooling of the human neck can be achieved, ensuring the cold compress treatment effect.

[0007] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, a connecting flow channel is provided between two adjacent liquid storage chambers in the cold compress belt, and the two adjacent connecting flow channels are staggered up and down. A connecting flow channel connecting the two liquid storage chambers is formed in the cold compress belt, so that water in one liquid storage chamber can flow from the connecting flow channel to the other liquid storage chamber. Since the two adjacent connecting flow channels are staggered up and down, the flow distance of water in the liquid storage chamber is greatly improved, so that the cold water enters the cold compress belt and fully exchanges heat before flowing out.

[0008] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, transition bends are fixed in the plurality of connecting flow channels, which can better ensure that the position of the cold compress belt in the connecting flow channel will not be blocked due to excessive bending after bending, thereby ensuring that two adjacent liquid storage chambers remain in a state of continuous interconnection.

When the cold compress belt is positioned on the human neck, the heat preservation pad is in contact with the surface of the human neck, which is beneficial to avoid the coldness of the cold compress belt directly acting on the human neck, making the cold compress treatment more gentle.

[0013] As a further improvement of the above technical solution, one end of the cold compress belt is provided with a Velcro tape, and the other end of the cold compress belt is provided with a Velcro tape, and the Velcro tape and the Velcro tape are connected to each other. The two ends of the cold compress belt are respectively connected to each other by the Velcro tape and the Velcro tape, so as to be relatively connected and positioned on the human neck, so that the cold compress belt can be easily assembled and disassembled, and the tightness of the cold compress belt around the human neck can be adjusted.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A cold compress neck girdle comprises a cold compress belt 100 and a liquid storage tank 210, wherein a liquid storage cavity 110 is arranged inside the cold compress belt 100, and a plurality of liquid storage cavities 110 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the cold compress belt 100, and two adjacent liquid storage cavities 110 are connected to each other, and the two ends of the cold compress belt 100 are detachably connected, and a water delivery pipe 220 and a water return pipe 230 are connected to one side of the liquid storage tank 210, the water delivery pipe 220 is connected to the liquid storage cavity 110 located at one end of the cold compress belt 100, and the water return pipe 230 is connected to the liquid storage cavity 110 located at the other end of the cold compress belt 100, and a water pump is arranged in the liquid storage tank 210, and the water pump can make the water in the water delivery pipe 220 flow to the liquid storage cavity 110.

[0025] As can be seen from the above, cold water can be stored in the liquid storage chamber 110, and the cold water in the liquid storage tank 210 can be input into the cold compress belt 100 through a water pump, and multiple liquid storage chambers 110 in the cold compress belt 100 are filled. Since the liquid storage chambers 110 in the cold compress belt 100 are arranged in a plurality of intervals along the length direction of the cold compress belt 100, the cold compress belt 100 can be wrapped around the human neck, and the two ends of the cold compress belt 100 are connected so that the cold compress belt 100 is positioned on the human neck. At this time, the cold compress belt 100 as a whole can be deformed according to the shape of the human neck, especially in The interval between two adjacent liquid storage chambers 110 of the cold compress belt 100 can be better deformed to fit the appearance of the neck, and the position of the cold compress belt 100 in the liquid storage chamber 110 realizes the main cold compress effect on the human neck, so that the cold compress belt 100 can better apply cold compress to the human neck. In addition, the liquid storage tank 210 can continuously supply cold water to the liquid storage chamber 110, and the water after heat exchange in the liquid storage chamber 110 flows back to the liquid storage chamber 110 from the return pipe 230, so that continuous cold compress can be achieved on the human neck, ensuring the cold compress treatment effect.

[0026] In order to connect two adjacent liquid storage cavities 110 in the cold compress belt 100 to each other, a flow channel connected to the two liquid storage cavities 110 may be provided in the cold compress belt 100. Specifically, a connecting flow channel 120 is provided between two adjacent liquid storage cavities 110 in the cold compress belt 100. In the first embodiment, all the connecting flow channels 120 are located on the same side of the liquid storage cavity 110. In the second embodiment, the connecting flow channels 120 are staggered up and down between two adjacent liquid storage cavities 110, that is, the connecting flow channel 120 on one side of the liquid storage cavity 110 is connected to the top side, while the connecting flow channel 120 on the other side is connected to the bottom side. In the second embodiment, a connecting channel 120 connecting two liquid storage chambers 110 is formed in the cold compress belt 100, so that water in one liquid storage chamber 110 can flow from the connecting channel 120 to the other liquid storage chamber 110. Since the two adjacent connecting channels 120 are staggered up and down, the flow distance of water in the liquid storage chamber 110 is greatly improved, so that cold water enters the cold compress belt 100 and is fully heat exchanged before flowing out.

[0027] When the cold compress belt 100 is wrapped around the neck of a human body, the position of the cold compress belt 100 corresponding to the liquid storage chamber 110 is filled with more cold water, so it is not easy to cause folding at this position to cause water flow to be blocked, and the position between two adjacent liquid storage chambers 110 for conduction is easy to bend excessively at this position due to the small amount of cold water, resulting in water flow blocking. Therefore, in this embodiment, transition elbows are fixed in the plurality of connecting flow channels 120, and the transition elbows can be made of silicone hoses or PC tubes, etc., and can be directly formed in the cold compress belt 100 during production. The transition elbow can better ensure that the position of the cold compress belt 100 located at the connecting flow channel 120 after bending will not be blocked due to excessive bending, thereby ensuring that the two adjacent liquid storage chambers 110 continue to maintain a state of interconnection.

[0028] The cold compress belt 100 can be directly produced by integral molding of the same material, and in order to better connect and position it on the human neck, in this embodiment, the cold compress belt 100 includes a plurality of bag bodies 150 arranged at intervals, an elastic strip 130 connected between two adjacent bag bodies 150, the liquid storage chamber 110 is formed in the bag body 150, the connecting flow channel 120 is formed in the elastic strip, and the two bag bodies 150 at the two ends are respectively connected with connecting strips 140, and the two connecting strips 140 are detachably connected to each other. When the cold compress belt 100 is wrapped around the human neck, it mainly plays a role of cold compressing the human neck at the bag body 150. Relying on the elastic deformation of the elastic strip 130, the cold compress belt 100 can better fit the human neck and wrap around the human neck, providing the bag body 150 with a force to press against the human neck. After the bag body 150 is adjusted on the human neck, the two connecting strips 140 can be connected to each other.

[0029] In the above embodiment, only relying on the cold compress belt 100 to be wrapped around the human neck and positioned thereon will cause excessive pressure on the human neck. In order to reduce the pressure on the human neck, the utility model also includes a shoulder rest, and a hole is provided in the middle of the shoulder rest which runs through from top to bottom. The left side of the shoulder rest extends to the left to form a left shoulder support portion 310, and the right side of the shoulder rest extends to the right to form a right shoulder support portion 320. The front and rear sides of the shoulder rest extend downward respectively to form a limiting portion 330, and the middle part of the cold compress belt 100 is connected to the position of the shoulder rest located behind the hole. When using the cold compress belt 100, first put on the shoulder support. Specifically, move the shoulder support downward so that the human head passes through the hole relatively upward. At this time, the left shoulder support portion 310 and the right shoulder support portion 320 are respectively located on the left shoulder and the right shoulder of the human body, and the front and rear limiting portions 330 are located on the front chest and back of the human body. Then, wrap the cold compress belt 100 around the human neck and connect and fix it. In this way, the shoulder support can share the gravity of the cold compress belt 100, reduce the falling of the human neck, better protect the position of the human neck, and improve the stability of the cold compress belt 100 positioned on the human neck.

[0030] Furthermore, the cold compress belt 100 is detachably connected to the shoulder support, for example, the cold compress belt 100 can be connected to the shoulder support by a buckle, or the cold compress belt 100 can be connected and fixed to the shoulder support by a zipper or the like. When wearing the shoulder support, the cold compress belt 100 can be removed from the shoulder support first, so as to facilitate wearing the shoulder support. After finishing, the cold compress belt 100 can be reinstalled on the shoulder support. In addition, shoulder supports of different specifications and sizes can be selected according to patients of different body shapes, which greatly improves the flexibility of use.

[0031] In order to further improve the experience of using the cold compress belt 100, in this embodiment, a heat preservation pad is provided on one side of the cold compress belt 100. In actual application, heat preservation materials such as heat preservation cotton can be bonded on one side of the cold compress belt 100, that is, on one side of the plurality of bags 150, so as to form a heat preservation pad. When the cold compress belt 100 is positioned on the neck of a human body, the heat preservation pad is in contact with the outer surface of the neck of the human body, which is conducive to preventing the cold amount of the cold compress belt 100 from directly acting on the neck of the human body, making the cold compress treatment more gentle.

[0032] The detachable connection between the two ends of the cold compress belt 100, that is, the detachable connection between the two connecting belts, can be connected to each other by buckles at the positions of the two connecting belts, or the two connecting belts can be connected by zippers or buttons, etc. In this embodiment, the two are connected to each other by Velcro. Specifically, one end of the cold compress belt 100 is provided with a Velcro sub-tie, and the other end of the cold compress belt 100 is provided with a Velcro mother-tie, and the Velcro sub-tie and the Velcro mother-tie are connected to each other. The two ends of the cold compress belt 100 are respectively connected to each other by the Velcro sub-tie and the Velcro mother-tie, so as to be relatively connected and positioned on the human neck, so that the cold compress belt 100 can be easily assembled and disassembled, and the tightness of the cold compress belt 100 around the human neck can be adjusted.

[0033] The cold water in the liquid storage tank 210 can be cooled by an external device and then loaded into the liquid storage tank 210, or a refrigeration device can be directly installed in the liquid storage tank 210. In order to better monitor the temperature of the cold water input into the cold compress belt 100 and the temperature of the cold water in the cold compress belt 100 during cold compress use, in this embodiment, a first temperature sensor is provided in the liquid storage tank 210, and a second temperature sensor is provided in the liquid storage cavity 110. The water temperature in the liquid storage tank 210 can be detected by the first temperature sensor, and the water temperature in the liquid storage cavity 110 can be detected by the second temperature sensor, so that it is convenient to monitor the cold compress temperature in real time and discharge and replace the cold water in the liquid storage cavity 110.

[0034] As for the method of replenishing the cold water in the cold compress neck band, the water in the liquid storage tank 210 can be continuously circulated and pumped into the liquid storage chamber 110 of the cold compress belt 100, and then circulated back to the liquid storage chamber 110. In this case, the water pump needs to work continuously, which consumes a lot of energy. Alternatively, the cold water in the liquid storage tank 210 is transported to the cold compress belt 100 and fills the liquid storage chamber 110, and then the cold compress is applied for a period of time. After the water temperature in the liquid storage chamber 110 increases through heat exchange, the water in the liquid storage chamber 110 is transported back to the liquid storage tank 210. However, if the hot water is directly mixed with the stored cold water at this time, the temperature difference is large, which can easily affect the water re-input into the liquid storage chamber 110. Therefore, in this embodiment, the liquid storage tank 210 is separated into a cold water chamber and a return water chamber, the water supply pipe 220 is connected to the cold water chamber, and the return water pipe 230 is connected to the return water chamber. The cold water chamber is used to store low-temperature cold water, and the return water chamber stores water recovered after heat exchange in the liquid storage chamber 110. In this way, the two can be separated from each other for convenient redistribution and utilization.

[0035] The preferred implementation modes of the present invention are specifically described above, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments.
