Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of equipment for autologous hair transplantation surgery, in particular to a hair follicle storage box for cold-storing hair follicles. Background Art

[0002] Autologous hair transplantation is a minimally invasive microsurgical technique that uses hair follicle tissue from the patient's healthy scalp (usually the occipital area, where the hair follicles have the most complete innate structure and are less affected by male hormones in the body, so the survival rate after transplantation is higher). After special and refined separation of the hair follicle tissue and cold storage, it is transplanted to the patient's baldness or other hair loss areas. After the hair follicles survive, they will grow healthy new hair, maintaining all the biological characteristics and growth indicators of the original hair, in order to achieve the purpose of supplementing the number of hair and modifying the local hair distribution pattern, solving the hair problem for the patient from the root.

[0003] The removed hair follicles need to be hydrated and preserved at low temperature. However, the low temperature hydration preservation device used in the current transplantation operation is relatively simple, and cannot guarantee continuous constant temperature, let alone effectively monitor temperature changes. Generally, a curved tray and an ice bag are used. The curved tray is placed on an ice bag or an ice box, and a follicle pad (currently generally a gauze pad) is placed inside the curved tray. A small amount of saline is poured into the follicle pad to soak the follicle pad, and the hair follicles are placed on the follicle pad. The curved tray and the wet follicle pad are cooled by ice bags to achieve low temperature hydration preservation of the hair follicles. Since the number of hair follicles that need to be transplanted ranges from 1,000 to 5,000, the hair transplantation operation takes from several hours to more than 10 hours. The current hair follicle cold storage device relies on the short cooling time of ice bags. During the operation, the ice bags need to be frequently replaced, which makes the operation cumbersome and even contaminated. Moreover, the curved tray is only placed on the ice bag, which is easy to touch during the operation, which can easily cause the curved tray to slip and cause the hair follicles to fall out. The follicle pad placed in the follicle tray is traditionally used with a medical gauze block for collecting and storing hair follicles during hair transplant surgery. However, when clamping the hair follicles during the operation, the gauze block is easily hooked, which prolongs the operation time and reduces the efficiency of the operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a hair follicle storage box which is suitable for continuously storing hair follicles at a low temperature and a constant temperature during a hair transplantation operation.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above problems is: the hair follicle preservation box includes a hair follicle tray, a box body, a semiconductor refrigeration module, an elastic top structure and a limiting structure; the box body includes a horizontal partition, the box body is provided with a hair follicle tray groove located above the horizontal partition and a box body cavity located below the horizontal partition, and the horizontal partition is provided with a refrigeration module hole; the hair follicle tray is placed in the hair follicle tray groove and cooperates with the hair follicle tray groove; the number of the limiting structures is two, the two limiting structures are respectively located on both sides of the hair follicle tray and installed on the box body, the limiting structures limit the upward movement of the hair follicle tray and can release the restriction; the elastic top structure is installed in the box body cavity; the semiconductor refrigeration module is connected to the elastic top structure and passes through the refrigeration module hole; the elastic top structure supports the semiconductor refrigeration module, and the semiconductor refrigeration module supports the hair follicle tray so that the upper edge of the hair follicle tray abuts against the limiting structure.

[0006] Furthermore, the semiconductor refrigeration module includes a semiconductor refrigeration plate, a thermal pad, a radiator and a fan. The upper side of the semiconductor refrigeration plate is the refrigeration side, the lower side of the semiconductor refrigeration plate is the heat dissipation side, the thermal pad is connected to the refrigeration side, the radiator is connected to the heat dissipation side, and the fan acts on the radiator.

[0007] Furthermore, the elastic lifting structure includes a sleeve, a spring and a push rod, the push rod is inserted into the sleeve and cooperates with the sleeve, the spring is located in the sleeve and pushes the push rod, and the semiconductor refrigeration module is connected to the push rod.

[0008] Furthermore, the box body is provided with a rotating rod hole extending from the upper surface of the box body to the box body cavity; the limiting structure includes a rotating rod, a limiting block and a limiting nut, the rotating rod passes through the rotating rod hole and cooperates with the rotating rod hole, the rotating rod is provided with a limiting flange, the limiting nut is connected to the lower end of the rotating rod, the limiting flange and the limiting nut are both fitted with the box body to limit the upward movement of the rotating rod, the limiting block is connected to the rotating rod, the limiting block limits the upward movement of the hair follicle disk, and the limiting block can be rotated to leave the hair follicle disk.

[0009] Furthermore, the hair follicle preservation box includes an infrared temperature sensor and a display screen; a temperature measuring hole is provided on the horizontal partition; the infrared temperature sensor is installed in the box body cavity and faces the temperature measuring hole; the display screen is installed on the box body and can display the measured value of the infrared temperature sensor.

[0010] Furthermore, the hair follicle preservation box includes a battery, which is installed in the box body cavity and supplies power to the semiconductor refrigeration module, the infrared temperature sensor and the display screen.

[0011] Furthermore, the hair follicle storage box comprises a hair follicle pad, and the hair follicle pad is placed in the hair follicle tray.

[0012] Further: the hair follicle pad is made of pure cotton.

[0013] Furthermore, there are sutures on the follicle pad, which divide the follicle pad into two areas, the left area is the follicle area to be separated, and the right area is the separated follicle area. The separated follicle area on the right is divided into a single follicle area, a double follicle area and a triple follicle area.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the utility model is as follows: during the hair transplantation operation, a follicle pad is placed in the follicle tray, and physiological saline is added to soak the follicle pad; then the semiconductor refrigeration module is turned on for cooling, and the hair follicles are placed on the follicle pad. The semiconductor refrigeration module cools the follicle tray and the wet follicle pad, thereby realizing low-temperature preservation of the hair follicles during the hair transplantation process, and the hair follicles can be directly taken from the wet follicle pad.

[0017] The utility model further improves the follicle pad, which is made of pure cotton and has sutures on it, which divide the follicle pad into multiple areas. In this way, the divided follicles can be distinguished from the undivided follicles, and the follicles with different numbers and parts can be further divided. In addition, the follicle forceps can be prevented from repeatedly hooking the follicle pad, making it easy to distinguish, count, and operate, shortening the operation process and improving the efficiency of the operation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 The hair follicle storage box shown includes a hair follicle tray 2, a box body 1, a semiconductor refrigeration module 6, an elastic top structure 7 and a limiting structure 3; the box body 1 includes a horizontal partition 1-1, the box body 1 has a hair follicle tray groove 1-2 located above the horizontal partition 1-1 and a box body cavity 1-3 located below the horizontal partition 1-1, and the horizontal partition 1-1 has a refrigeration module hole 1-4; the hair follicle tray 2 is placed in the hair follicle tray groove 1-2 and cooperates with the hair follicle tray groove 1-2; the number of the limiting structures 3 is two, the two limiting structures 3 are respectively located on both sides of the hair follicle tray 2 and installed on the box body 1, the limiting structures 3 limit the upward movement of the hair follicle tray 2 and can release the restriction; the elastic top structure 7 is installed in the box body cavity 1-3; the semiconductor refrigeration module 6 is connected to the elastic top structure 7 and passes through the refrigeration module hole 1-4; the elastic top structure 7 pushes the semiconductor refrigeration module 6, and the semiconductor refrigeration module 6 pushes the hair follicle tray 2 so that the upper edge of the hair follicle tray 2 abuts against the limiting structure 3.

[0028] During hair transplantation, the utility model is placed next to the recipient; a follicle pad 10 is placed in the follicle tray 2, and physiological saline is added to soak the follicle pad 10; then the semiconductor refrigeration module 6 is turned on for refrigeration, and the hair follicles are placed on the follicle pad 10. The semiconductor refrigeration module 6 refrigerates the follicle tray 2 and the wet follicle pad 10, thereby realizing low-temperature preservation of the hair follicles during the hair transplantation process, and the hair follicles can be directly taken from the wet follicle pad 10. After a patient's hair transplantation is completed, the limit of the follicle tray 2 by the limiting structure 3 is released, and the follicle tray 2 can be taken out for cleaning and disinfection by lifting it, and then the follicle tray 2 is put back into the follicle tray slot 1-2 and the limit structure 3 is used to limit its upward movement, and it can be used for the next hair transplantation operation. The utility model relies on the semiconductor refrigeration module 6 for refrigeration, and can be refrigerated for a long time when powered on, and the refrigeration time is long. The follicle tray 2 is effectively fixed and will not be overturned to cause the hair follicles to fall out.

[0029] Since the hair follicle tray 2 needs to be removed for cleaning and disinfection, it is not suitable to directly connect with the semiconductor refrigeration module 6. Therefore, the utility model adopts an elastic top structure 7 to top the semiconductor refrigeration module 6, so that the semiconductor refrigeration module 6 can be closely attached to the hair follicle tray 2, which is conducive to ensuring the refrigeration effect.

[0030] The specific structure of the semiconductor refrigeration module 6 is as follows Figure 5 As shown, it includes a semiconductor refrigeration sheet 6-1, a thermal pad 6-2, a radiator 6-3 and a fan 6-4. The upper side of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 6-1 is the refrigeration side, the lower side of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 6-1 is the heat dissipation side, the thermal pad 6-2 is connected to the refrigeration side, the radiator 6-3 is connected to the heat dissipation side, and the fan 6-4 acts on the radiator 6-3.

[0031] The semiconductor cooling sheet 6-1 is a prior art product, which works by utilizing the Peltier effect of semiconductor materials. When direct current passes through a couple formed by two different semiconductor materials in series, heat can be absorbed and released at both ends of the couple, respectively, to achieve the purpose of cooling. The semiconductor cooling sheet 6-1 is currently mostly used in small refrigeration equipment and is suitable for the occasions of the utility model. The thermal pad 6-2 is a thermally conductive silicone pad or a thermally conductive silicone pad. The thermal pad 6-2 fits with the hair follicle disk 2 to transfer heat between the hair follicle disk 2 and the semiconductor cooling sheet 6-1. The radiator 6-3 is used to prevent the heat dissipation side of the semiconductor cooling sheet 6-1 from overheating, and can be a conventional aluminum radiator. The fan 6-4 is used to accelerate heat dissipation. In order to cooperate with the heat dissipation of the fan 6-4, there should be air inlet and exhaust holes on the box body 1.

[0032] The specific structure of the elastic top structure 7 can be as follows: Figure 5As shown, the elastic top structure 7 includes a sleeve 7-1, a spring 7-3 and a push rod 7-2, the push rod 7-2 is inserted into the sleeve 7-1 and matched with the sleeve 7-1, the spring 7-3 is located in the sleeve 7-1 and pushes the push rod 7-2, and the semiconductor refrigeration module 6 is connected to the push rod 7-2. Specifically, the radiator 6-3 is preferably connected to the push rod 7-2. The elastic top structure 7 is set on both sides of the conductor refrigeration module 6 to ensure balance.

[0033] The cooperation between the push rod 7-2 and the sleeve 7-1 can ensure that the semiconductor refrigeration module 6 can only move up and down. The distance required for the semiconductor refrigeration module 6 to move up and down is not long. When the hair follicle plate 2 is not installed, the spring 7-3 can rebound by 3 to 5 mm, and when the hair follicle plate 2 is installed, the spring 7-3 is compressed by 3 to 5 mm. The spring coefficient of the spring 7-3 can be slightly larger to ensure that the thermal pad 6-2 is in close contact with the hair follicle plate 2.

[0034] The specific structure of the limiting structure 3 can be as follows Figure 4 As shown, the box body 1 has a rotating rod hole 1-6 extending from the upper surface of the box body 1 to the box body cavity 1-3; the limiting structure 3 includes a rotating rod 3-1, a limiting block 3-2 and a limiting nut 3-3, the rotating rod 3-1 passes through the rotating rod hole 1-6 and cooperates with the rotating rod hole 1-6, the rotating rod 3-1 has a limiting flange 3-1-1, the limiting nut 3-3 is connected to the lower end of the rotating rod 3-1, the limiting flange 3-1-1 and the limiting nut 3-3 are both fitted with the box body 1 to limit the upward movement of the rotating rod 3-1, the limiting block 3-2 is connected to the rotating rod 3-1, the limiting block 3-2 limits the upward movement of the hair follicle disc 2, and the limiting block 3-2 can be rotated to leave the hair follicle disc 2.

[0035] When removing the hair follicle tray 2, rotate the limit block 3-2 to make it leave the hair follicle tray 2, untie it and take out the hair follicle tray 2. When placing the hair follicle tray 2, install the hair follicle tray 2 into the hair follicle tray groove 1-2 and press it down by hand, and then rotate the limit block 3-2 to press it on the hair follicle tray 2. The above operation is relatively simple.

[0036] In addition, the utility model can also have temperature detection and display functions, as follows: the hair follicle storage box includes an infrared temperature sensor 8 and a display screen 5; the horizontal partition 1-1 has a temperature measuring hole 1-5; the infrared temperature sensor 8 is installed in the box body cavity 1-3 and faces the temperature measuring hole 1-5; the display screen 5 is installed on the box body 1 and can display the measured value of the infrared temperature sensor 8. The temperature requirement of the hair follicle plate 2 is 0℃~4℃. The utility model can also perform closed-loop control, and control the semiconductor refrigeration module 6 according to the measured value fed back by the infrared temperature sensor 8, so that the temperature of the hair follicle plate 2 can be maintained at 0℃~4℃.

[0037] The hair follicle preservation box needs to be powered before it can be used. It can be powered by a power cord connected to a socket or by a built-in battery. In order to avoid the power cord affecting the surgical operation, the hair follicle preservation box preferably includes a battery 9, which is installed in the box body cavity 1-3. The battery 9 supplies power to the semiconductor refrigeration module 6, the infrared temperature sensor 8 and the display screen 5. The battery 9 should be rechargeable. Conventionally, a control button 4 can be set on the box body 1 to control the power on and off, set the refrigeration temperature, etc.

[0038] As mentioned above, the follicle pad 10 needs to be placed in the follicle plate 2, and physiological saline is added to soak the follicle pad 10. The follicle pad 10 can also be used as a part of the utility model. The follicle pads 10 currently used are mostly gauze pads, and there are tiny grids formed by several lines on the gauze. During the hair transplantation operation, when clamping the hair to separate the follicles, the surgical tweezers are prone to repeatedly hook the tiny grids, making the operation cumbersome and time-consuming, and increasing the operation time. Therefore, the utility model preferably uses the follicle pad 10 made of pure cotton, and its shape is like the currently common disposable face washcloth made of pure cotton, without tiny grids, which can avoid the above-mentioned cumbersome operation.

[0039] Further preferably, the follicle pad 10 has a suture 10-1, which divides the follicle pad 10 into two areas, the left area is the follicle area to be separated 10-2, and the right area is the separated follicle area 10-3. The separated follicle area 10-3 on the right is divided into a single follicle area 10-4, a double follicle area 10-5 and a triple follicle area 10-6 and arranged horizontally. When placing the follicles, the number of each type of follicle is divided into hundreds. The significance of this is to separate the separated follicles from the unseparated follicles, and then subdivide the follicles with different numbers and the number of parts, so that the number of follicles can be counted easily and the confusion of the number of follicles can be reduced.
