Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of ice cap devices, in particular to a novel head and neck combined cooling ice cap. Background Art

[0002] Ice cap is a commonly used physical cooling method in clinical practice. It is mainly used for neurological patients who need sub-hypothermia brain protection such as hemorrhagic stroke, cerebral edema, ischemic stroke, craniocerebral trauma, central hyperthermia, brain herniation, etc.; for preventing chemotherapy-induced hair loss in patients with malignant tumors; and for patients with high fever caused by various factors, such as infection.

[0003] The ice cap can reduce brain tissue metabolism, reduce oxygen consumption, regulate autonomic nervous and endocrine functions, enhance brain cells' tolerance to trauma and hypoxia, prevent or reduce cerebral edema, facilitate the recovery of brain cell function, reduce brain damage and cerebral hemorrhage, and improve tolerance. At the same time, it can cause brain blood vessels to constrict and reduce blood exudation. The continuous cold therapy of the head with the ice cap can cause blood vessels to constrict, slow blood flow, reduce tissue cell metabolism and its absorption of chemotherapy drugs, and reduce the concentration of drugs entering the hair papilla capillary network, thereby reducing the toxic side effects of chemotherapy drugs on hair follicles and reducing hair loss.

[0004] The blood needed by the brain is supplied by the anterior circulation and the posterior circulation. The anterior circulation refers to the internal carotid artery system, and the posterior circulation refers to the vertebral-basilar artery system. If the head and neck are cooled simultaneously, the heat exchange effect on the skin surface will be more sufficient. The ice cap in the current clinically used technology usually only cools the head, and rarely cools the neck, which cannot achieve the effect of cooling the internal brain substance in the skull.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] It is easy to understand that according to the technical solution of the utility model, without changing the essential spirit of the utility model, a person skilled in the art can propose a variety of interchangeable structural modes and implementation modes. Therefore, the following specific implementation modes and drawings are only exemplary descriptions of the technical solution of the utility model, and should not be regarded as the entirety of the utility model or as a limitation or restriction to the technical solution of the utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the main body of the ice cap is provided with three layers, namely, an inner layer 13, a middle layer 12 and an outer layer 11. The middle layer 12 is provided with an inner liner 14. The user can add appropriate liquid refrigerant inside the inner liner 14 according to the condition of the disease. The ice cap is made of waterproof material. The main body of the ice cap includes an integrated cap body 9, a head and neck transition piece 3 and a neck surrounding arm 10. The left and right sides of the cap body 9 are symmetrically provided with ear openings, thereby reducing the risk of the ice cap pressuring the patient's ear skin and frostbite. In addition, during the use of the ice cap, it is not only easy to wear, but also does not affect hearing. The outer layer 11 and the inner layer 13 are both made of waterproof materials. The waterproof material can prevent condensed water from contacting the patient, causing the patient's skin to adhere to the inner layer 13 and cause damage, ensuring a good cooling effect while protecting the patient's head and neck, and has the advantages of simple structure, easy to carry, high practicality, and low production cost.

[0026] The neck wrapping arm 10 is in an arc shape that is convenient for wrapping around and fitting the neck. A head and neck transition piece 3 is connected between the neck wrapping arm 10 and the cap body 9 and the two are interconnected, which eliminates the side effect of compression of the jugular vein in the neck and is convenient and practical. The curvature of the neck wrapping arm 10 when flattened is consistent with the curvature of the base of the patient's collar when flattened. At the same time, the width of the neck wrapping arm is 13 cm, which is convenient for fitting the neck.

[0027] The fixing straps on both sides of the neck surrounding arm 10 are movably connected by the second Velcro 8 and the first Velcro 7. The tightness of the cap can be flexibly adjusted through the combination of the fixing straps and the Velcro to suit the head and neck of different sizes, thereby improving the wearing comfort and flexibility of the cap.

[0028] The neck surrounding arm 10 and the cap body 9 are connected with a head and neck transition piece 3 and communicate with each other. The outer layer 11 of the cap body 9 is adhered with an injection tube 4. The initial end of the injection tube 4 is placed in the inner liner 14 inside the middle layer 12 of the cap body 9, and the inner liner 14 will not leak to the outer layer 11 and the inner layer 13. A cover is installed on the injection tube 4, which can block the injection tube 4 to prevent leakage of liquid storage coolant.

[0029] The outer side of the cap body 9 is adhered with a drainage tube 2, the initial end of the drainage tube 2 is placed in the inner liner 14 inside the middle layer 12 of the cap body 9, and the inner liner 14 will not leak to the outer layer 11 and the inner layer 13, and a drainage valve is installed on the drainage tube 2. The drainage tube 2 is located on the outer surface of the cap body 9 relative to the patient's occipital position.

[0030] By adding the refrigerant through the injection tube 4 to cool the head and neck at the same time, the heat exchange effect on the skin surface will be more sufficient.

[0031] A first temperature sensor 1 is adhered to the surface of the inner layer 13 of the cap body 9, and a third temperature sensor 6 and a second temperature sensor 5 are adhered to the inner layers 13 on the left and right sides of the neck wrapping arm 10 respectively. The first temperature sensor 1, the third temperature sensor 6 and the second temperature sensor 5 are linearly connected to a single-chip microcomputer fixed on the surface of the outer layer 11. Both the inner layer 13 and the outer layer 11 are made of waterproof material. The surface of the outer layer 11 is connected to a single-chip microcomputer by sewing, a display screen is fixed to one side of the single-chip microcomputer, and a removable battery is linearly connected to the bottom of the single-chip microcomputer. The temperature sensor monitors the temperature at any time, which ensures the cooling effect of the ice cap to a certain extent.

[0032] The device has a simple structure and is easy to use. It can apply ice to patients with fever by wearing it, thus solving the problem that traditional ice packs are unstable and easy to slip.

[0033] When the utility model is used, the injection tube 4 on the top of the cap body 9 is first opened to inject liquid refrigerant into the inner liner 14. The liquid refrigerant injection port is provided with a cover that matches its size and shape. When the liquid refrigerant needs to be injected into the inner liner 14, the cover is opened. After the injection is completed, the cover is closed to prevent leakage due to shaking of the patient's head.

[0034] The fixing belt bodies on both sides of the neck surrounding arm 10 are connected by the second Velcro 8 and the first Velcro 7 through active adhesion. Through the combination of the fixing belt and the second Velcro 8 and the first Velcro 7, the tightness of the cap body can be flexibly adjusted and fixed to the front of the patient's neck.

[0035] The drainage tube 2 is arranged on the outer surface of the cap body relative to the patient's pillow, and is connected to the inner liner 14 of the middle layer 12. A drainage valve is provided on the drainage tube 2. When liquid refrigerant is injected into the injection tube 4 and the patient wears the ice cap, the drainage tube 2 is closed to prevent the liquid refrigerant from flowing out; after the ice cap is used, the drainage valve is opened to discharge the used liquid refrigerant.

[0036] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents described above. Those skilled in the art can make various deformations and modifications to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of the present invention, and these deformations and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
