Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cooling, in particular to a physical cooling device. Background Art

[0002] The treatment measures taken by pediatrics for children's fever are generally physical cooling and drug-induced fever. When the patient's temperature does not exceed 38.5℃, physical cooling is usually used to reduce the fever. Physical cooling methods generally include taking a warm bath, cold compress on the head, loosening clothing, etc., which can take away heat and play a role in reducing fever. For persistent high fever, physical cooling methods such as ice compress can be used.

[0003] Ice packs are commonly used devices in pediatrics to cool children’s foreheads. For example, the physical cooling ice pack for pediatrics with prior art publication number CN213883768U uses a bandage to fix the ice pack to prevent the child from slipping due to the child’s inability to control the body well. This makes the ice pack more secure and less likely to fall. However, in actual use, as the ice cubes absorb the temperature of the child and gradually melt, the cooling effect gradually decreases. The medical staff of the above-mentioned prior art cannot intuitively obtain the melting status of the ice cubes, and thus cannot replace the ice cubes in time before the ice cubes are about to melt completely, which can easily reduce the subsequent cooling effect and is not conducive to the continuous reduction of fever in children. Based on the above problems, the utility model proposes a physical cooling device that can remind medical staff to replace ice cubes in time before the ice cubes are about to melt completely.

[0030] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] The utility model provides Figure 1-9 A physical cooling device shown includes a coat 1 and a cooling component 2 arranged inside the coat 1, wherein the coat 1 includes a heat-insulating cloth cover 11 and a cotton pad 12 fixed to the front side of the heat-insulating cloth cover 11, wherein the heat-insulating cloth cover 11 is made of a heat-insulating material to reduce the loss of coldness of the cooling component 2, and the cotton pad 12 has good air permeability, so that the cold air of the cooling component 2 can cool down the child;

[0032] Moreover, a waterproof breathable membrane 13 is fixedly attached to the inner side of the heat-insulating cloth cover 11 and the cotton pad 12. The principle of the waterproof breathable membrane 13 is that the distance between gas molecules is relatively large, and they can pass through the air holes of the waterproof breathable membrane 13 during the diffusion movement, while the distance between liquid molecules is smaller than the distance between the air holes, and under the action of surface tension, the liquid molecules cannot pass through the waterproof breathable membrane 13, that is, it plays a role in preventing water from passing through the cooling component 2;

[0033] A through hole is opened on the rear side of the jacket 1 for facilitating the installation of the cooling component 2 into the jacket 1, and a zipper 3 is sewn at the through hole. Headbands 4 are also fixed on both sides of the jacket 1. The cotton pad 12 contacts the child's forehead. After the jacket 1 is placed on the child's forehead, the headband 4 is wrapped around the child's head and fixed by Velcro.

[0034] Next, the cooling component 2 includes an outer shell 21, the top end of the outer shell 21 is open, and the top end of the outer shell 21 is hinged with a top cover 211 that closes the opening. Opening the top cover 211 facilitates adding ice cubes into the refrigeration chamber 23. A partition 22 is fixed on the inner wall of the outer shell 21, and the partition 22 divides the interior of the outer shell 21 into a refrigeration chamber 23 and a water collecting chamber 24 distributed up and down. A fixed frame 25 is provided inside the refrigeration chamber 23, and the outer wall of the fixed frame 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the refrigeration chamber 23. A connecting frame 26 is provided at the bottom of the fixed frame 25, and the fixed frame 25 and the connecting frame 26 are integrally formed. A movable plate 27 is provided at the bottom of the connecting frame 26. Ice cubes for physical cooling are placed in the fixed frame 25 and on the top of the movable plate 27. An elastic waterproof cloth cover 214 is fixed between the bottom end of the connecting frame 26 and the top of the movable plate 27, and the ice cubes on the top of the movable plate 27 are on the inner side of the elastic waterproof cloth cover 214.

[0035] Open the top cover 211 and put ice cubes into the shell 21. The ice cubes finally pass through the fixed frame 25 and the elastic waterproof cloth cover 214 and fall onto the movable plate 27. Then put the shell 21 filled with ice cubes into the coat 1 and close the zipper 3. Put the coat 1 on the child's forehead so that the cotton pad 12 contacts the forehead. Then wrap the headband 4 around the child's head and fix it with Velcro. The cold air from the ice cubes passes through the waterproof breathable membrane 13 and the cotton pad 12 to physically cool the child's forehead. At the same time, the waterproof breathable membrane 13 blocks water to prevent the water from wetting the child's forehead.

[0036] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the outer wall of the movable plate 27 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the refrigeration chamber 23, and the fixed frame 25 and the movable plate 27 are connected by a plurality of springs 28, and the springs 28 are arranged on the outside of the connecting frame 26;

[0037] The bottom of the movable plate 27 is provided with a plurality of water leakage holes 212, and the plurality of water leakage holes 212 are all arranged on the inner side of the elastic waterproof cloth cover 214. A water pipe 213 is fixed to the bottom of the partition plate 22. The refrigeration chamber 23 is connected with the water collecting chamber 24 through the water pipe 213. Melted water from the ice cubes on the top of the movable plate 27 flows into the water collecting chamber 24 for storage through the water leakage holes 212 and the water pipe 213. A one-way valve that only allows water in the refrigeration chamber 23 to flow into the water collecting chamber 24 is fixed on the water pipe 213. A drain pipe 215 connected with the water collecting chamber 24 is fixed on one side of the bottom of the shell 21. A pipe cover 216 is threadedly installed on one end of the drain pipe 215 away from the shell 21, so that the water stored in the water collecting chamber 24 can be discharged and reused for ice making.

[0038] A touch switch 29 is embedded on one side of the bottom of the connection frame 26, and the touch switch 29 is on one side of the elastic waterproof cloth cover 214. A buzzer 210 is fixed to the rear end of the jacket 1, and a through hole for the buzzer 210 to pass through is opened on the rear side of the jacket 1. A battery box 5 is fixed to the other side of the bottom of the shell 21. The touch switch 29, the buzzer 210 and the battery in the battery box 5 are connected in series, so as to power the touch switch 29 and the buzzer 210.

[0039] When ice cubes are placed on the movable plate 27, the weight of the ice cubes presses down the movable plate 27, causing the movable plate 27 to stretch the spring 28 and the elastic waterproof cloth cover 214. At this time, the movable plate 27 is separated from the touch switch 29. As the cooling work proceeds, the ice cubes on the movable plate 27 gradually melt, and water flows into the water collecting chamber 24 along the leakage hole 212 and the water pipe 213 for storage. At the same time, the weight of the ice cubes on the movable plate 27 decreases. Under the elastic force of the spring 28, the movable plate 27 gradually moves up. When the movable plate 27 squeezes the touch switch 29, the buzzer 210 works to sound an alarm to remind medical staff to add ice cubes to the shell 21 to ensure a continuous cooling effect.

[0040] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. It is undoubted that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
