Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical instruments, and in particular comprises a washbasin suitable for hot-cold alternating treatment of patients with shoulder-hand syndrome. Background Art
[0002] About 12.5% to 25% of stroke patients develop shoulder-hand syndrome within 1 to 4 months after the onset of the disease. Typical clinical manifestations include shoulder pain, hand edema, wrist pain, increased skin temperature, and significant limitation of hand joint activity. If not treated in time, it can lead to permanent deformity of the hand, fingers, and shoulder, affecting the patient's ability to carry out daily activities. At present, the clinical treatment of shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke is mainly to reduce edema as soon as possible and relieve pain, and avoid obvious disability caused by atrophy and deformity of the affected limb. Alternating hot and cold water immersion therapy is a common method for the treatment of shoulder-hand syndrome. Cold water immersion can rapidly reduce the temperature of local tissues, immediately contract blood vessels, significantly reduce blood flow in local tissues, reduce vascular permeability, and reduce exudation; reduce enzyme activity in tissue cells, slow down the metabolic process of tissue cells, and reduce tissue oxygen consumption, so that swelling can be quickly reduced. Alternating hot and cold water immersion can promote vascular micro-dilation-vasoconstriction, improve sympathetic nerve tension, and relieve and eliminate pain. Cold therapy can also reduce nerve conduction velocity, reduce pain sensitivity, and have analgesic effects. For patients with swollen hands due to shoulder-hand syndrome, the edema should be reduced as quickly as possible and treatment should be carried out by alternating hot and cold water immersion. This therapy is technically simple and can be performed at the bedside.
[0003] However, there are still some shortcomings in the implementation of alternating hot and cold water therapy in clinical practice: 1) Two washbasins need to be prepared, one for cold water and one for hot water, which takes up a lot of space; 2) There is a safety risk of scalding. Stroke patients often have hemiplegia on one side, and the sensory function of the hemiplegic side is reduced. They are not easy to feel when the water temperature is too high, and their skin is easily scalded if they soak for a long time. If the water temperature is too low, there will be no therapeutic effect; 3) The soaking time is often long, and the heat will dissipate during the soaking process, so hot water needs to be continuously added, which is troublesome to operate.
[0004] Based on the above shortcomings, it is urgent to design a constant temperature washbasin that integrates cold and hot water, so that patients with shoulder-hand syndrome can implement hot and cold alternating immersion therapy. At the same time, this design can also meet the daily use function of the washbasin. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments. The description of the following embodiments is only used to help understand the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary people in this technical field, the utility model can also be modified in some ways without departing from the principle of the utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the utility model.
[0020] As an example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this wash basin suitable for hot and cold alternating treatment of shoulder-hand syndrome patients has a size of 290mm*19cm*430mm and includes: a cold water area 1 and a hot water area 2. In this embodiment, the cold water area 1 is arranged on the left side, and the hot water area 2 is arranged on the right side; the cold water area 1 and the hot water area 2 are separated by a heat insulation area 3; the outer surface of the heat insulation area 3 is covered with a heat insulation acrylic plate 32, so that a closed space of 43cm in length and 1cm in width is formed inside the heat insulation area 3, and the closed space is filled with a sponge 31, which further improves the heat insulation effect of the heat insulation area 3 and keeps the temperature of the cold water area 1 and the hot water area 2 independent.
[0021] A main control display screen 4 is provided above the hot water area 2, and a constant temperature system 5 is buried in the basin body below the hot water area 2 to realize the heating and constant temperature function; the basin body where the constant temperature system 5 is located is hollow, and together with the insulation area 3, it can also play a certain role in preventing the heat between the cold water area 1 and the hot water area 2 from being exchanged through the basin bottom.
[0022] The constant temperature system 5 includes a water pump 6, a heating device 7 and a power board 8. One end of the water pump 6 is connected to the hot water area 2, and the other end is connected to the heating device 7. The outlet of the heating device 7 is connected to the hot water area 2. Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the inlet of the water pump 6 is connected to the hot water area 2 through a water pipe, the outlet is connected to the heating device 7 through a water pipe, and the outlet of the heating device 7 is connected to the hot water area 2 through a water pipe; the distance between the inlet of the water pump 6 and the connection position between the outlet of the heating device 7 and the hot water area 2 is greater than a certain value, so that the heated hot water will not be immediately sucked back by the water pump 6, but will be preferentially sucked into the unheated part, thereby improving the overall heating effect of the hot water area 2.
[0023] The main control display screen 4 is provided with a power switch 41, a temperature display 42 and a temperature adjustment key 43. The power switch 41 is used to control the overall switch of the constant temperature system 5.
[0024] A thermometer is provided in the hot water area 2, and the thermometer is connected to the temperature display 42 to indicate the water temperature in the hot water area 2, so as to prevent stroke patients with hemiplegia on one side or decreased sensory function on the hemiplegic side from being unable to self-perceive the water temperature, thereby ensuring the therapeutic effect and preventing scalding.
[0025] Temperature adjustment key 43 Figure 1The figure shows that it includes two buttons, which are used to adjust the temperature up and down respectively, and adjust the water temperature in the hot water area 2 by controlling the power supply board 8 in the constant temperature system 5 to the output of the water pump 6 and the heating device 7. The heating device 7 includes a heater 71 and a thermostat 72. When the water temperature detected by the thermometer is greater than or equal to the temperature set by the temperature adjustment button 43, the contact of the thermostat 72 is disconnected.
[0026] The power board 8 is connected to an external power source via a power line.
[0027] When the patient needs to undergo alternating hot and cold water treatment, the cold water area 1 and the hot water area 2 of the left and right parts of the washbasin are filled with cold water respectively, and the depth of the water is preferably to soak the patient's wrist. The power cord is plugged in, the power switch 41 is turned on, and after adjusting to 40 degrees Celsius through the temperature adjustment key 43, the water pump 6 starts to pump the water in the hot water area 2 of the right half of the washbasin, and sends the water to the heating device 7 through the water pipe for heating. When the water temperature reaches the set temperature, the contact of the thermostat 72 is disconnected. When the water temperature has not reached the set temperature, the contact of the thermostat 72 is connected, and the heating continues. The heated water is then sent to the hot water area 2 of the washbasin through the water pipe. The heating process takes about 2 minutes; when the water temperature in the hot water area 2 reaches the requirement, the patient first soaks in cold water for 2 to 3 minutes, and then soaks in hot water for 2 to 3 minutes, and the above process is repeated alternately, and the operation takes a total of 15 to 20 minutes, and finally ends with soaking in cold water.
