[0002] In the medical field, the refrigeration demand for physiological saline is very important, especially in occasions such as first aid, physical therapy, and rehabilitation. For example, ice sand is used to assist in reducing the heart temperature during heart surgery to ensure low temperature, reduce consumption, and ensure the smooth completion of the surgery.
[0003] Currently, the method of making physiological saline into ice sand is as follows: taking out the physiological saline after freezing it in the refrigerator for use, but there are certain requirements for the freezing time.

If the freezing time is too long, some of the liquid will form ice cubes, which is more harmful to organs such as the heart and there is also a risk of contamination. Therefore, this not only has low efficiency but also is difficult to ensure the uniformity and fineness of the ice sand. In addition, the refrigeration speed of household refrigerators is slow and the temperature control is not precise enough, which leads to problems such as too long production time or unqualified quality.

Specific embodiments
[0023] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Apparently, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a medical smoothie maker includes a body 1, a refrigerator disposed inside the body 1, an inner container 3 for containing physiological saline, and a stirring assembly 4 detachably disposed on the body 1. The body 1 is provided with an accommodation groove 11. The refrigeration plate 2 of the refrigerator is located in the accommodation groove. The inner container 3 is placed in the accommodation groove 11 and contacts the refrigeration plate 2 to refrigerate the physiological saline in the inner container 3; the stirring end of the stirring assembly 4 can be inserted into the inner container 3 to stir the physiological saline.
[0025] Specifically, this medical smoothie maker includes a body 1. A refrigerator is disposed inside the body 1, and the refrigeration plate 2 of the refrigerator is located in the accommodation groove 11 opened in the body 1. The inner container 3 for containing physiological saline is placed in the accommodation groove 11 and is in close contact with the refrigeration plate 2. After the refrigerator is started, the refrigeration plate 2 cools the physiological saline in the inner container 3 through heat exchange to form smoothies. The stirring end of the stirring assembly 4 can be inserted into the inner container 3 to stir the physiological saline being refrigerated to prevent the smoothies from caking and ensure the uniformity and fineness of the smoothies. After the smoothies are made, the stirring end of the stirring assembly 4 is removed from the inner container 3, and by rotating, the stirring end is turned away from above the accommodation groove 11 so that the inner container 3 can be taken out of the accommodation groove 11, and the smoothies inside can be poured out by tilting; the inner container 3 can be taken out separately for disinfection treatment to ensure a sterile state during smoothie making, avoiding the deficiencies in aseptic control in the traditional method of freezing in a refrigerator or freezer, which is difficult to meet the high requirements for hygiene and efficiency in the medical environment.
[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the accommodating groove 11 is inclined. The inclined design of the accommodating groove 11 means that there is a certain angle between its bottom and the horizontal plane, and this angle helps the physiological saline in the inner container 3 to generate natural flow during the refrigeration and stirring processes.
[0027] Due to the inclination, the physiological saline in the inner container 3 will gather towards the lower end of the accommodating groove 11 under the action of gravity, which helps the refrigeration plate 2 to refrigerate the physiological saline more effectively because the contact area is relatively concentrated, and the refrigeration plate 2 can act on the physiological saline more directly. When the stirring end of the stirring assembly 4 is inserted into the inner container 3 for stirring, the inclined accommodating groove 11 enables the stirring action to more evenly cover the physiological saline in the entire inner container 3, reducing the stirring dead angle, improving the stirring efficiency, and ensuring that the physiological saline can maintain a uniform low temperature state during the refrigeration process.
[0028] In some embodiments of the present application, the open edge of the inner container 3 extends horizontally outward to form an extension portion 31. The extension portion 31 is located outside the accommodating groove 11 and abuts against the outer wall of the machine body 1.
[0029] Specifically, the open edge of the inner container 3 extends horizontally outward to form the extension portion 31. The extension portion 31 is used to closely abut against the outer wall of the machine body 1, similar to the function of a bracket or a tray. In this way, the inner container 3 is not only fixed in the accommodating groove 11, but also its stability inside the machine body 1 is increased, preventing unnecessary shaking or movement during the stirring or refrigeration process. And a part of the extension portion 31 protrudes from the outer wall of the machine body 1 for the user to more conveniently take out the inner container 3 from the accommodating groove 11. The setting of the extension portion 31 enables the inner container 3 to have a relatively large external plane covering the machine body 1 and its edge, which can ensure the sterility of the operation on the operating table.
[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, a clamping member is further provided on the machine body 1. The clamping member can clamp and cooperate between the inner container 3 and the machine body 1. The setting of the clamping member enables the inner container 3 and the machine body 1 to be clamped and cooperated to complete the fixation between the two, which not only improves the stability of the inner container 3, prevents it from shifting or shaking during the refrigeration or stirring process, but also ensures the smooth progress of the refrigeration and stirring processes.
[0031] Further, the machine body 1 is provided with a clamping groove near the notch of the accommodating groove 11. A clamping block that can be inserted into the clamping groove is arranged on the outer side of the inner container 3. A flexible layer is arranged outside the clamping block. When the clamping block is inserted into the clamping groove, the gap between the clamping block and the clamping groove is filled to form an interference fit. In this way, a clamping fixation is formed between the inner container 3 and the machine body 1 to improve the stability of the placement of the inner container 3. The flexible layer can be set as a silicone or cotton material.
[0032] In some other embodiments, the structure of the snap-in component can also be set according to requirements (including but not limited to) the way of spring snap, the way of hook snap or the way of rotary locking.
[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the refrigeration plate 2 covers part of the bottom and side of the accommodation groove 11. By covering the bottom and side of the accommodation groove 11 with the refrigeration plate 2, the refrigeration plate 2 conducts low-temperature energy to the bottom and side of the inner container 3 in contact therewith through its refrigeration function. This heat conduction method enables the refrigeration plate 2 to effectively reduce the temperature of the internal environment of the inner container 3, uniformly and quickly refrigerate the physiological saline on the inner side of the inner container 3, so as to quickly form ice sand and avoid the problem of uneven refrigeration of the physiological saline.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the stirring assembly 4 includes a linear driving module 41 and a mounting seat 42. The mounting seat 42 is further provided with a stirring rod 43 and a driver 45 capable of driving the stirring rod 43 to rotate. The mounting seat 42 is arranged at the output end of the linear driving module 41 and can perform linear motion to drive the stirring rod 43 to insert into and remove from the inner container 3.
[0035] Specifically, the linear driving module 41 provides the driving force for linear motion and is the basis for the motion of the stirring assembly 4; the mounting seat 42 is fixed at the output end of the linear driving module 41 and is used for mounting and supporting the stirring rod 43 and its driver 45; the stirring rod 43 can be directly inserted into the inner container 3 to stir the physiological saline and removed from the inner container 3 after stirring; the driver 45 is mounted on the mounting seat 42 and is used for driving the stirring rod 43 to rotate, so as to achieve the stirring effect.
[0036] When the linear driving module 41 is activated and started, it will push the mounting seat 42 to move along the linear direction. Under the action of the linear driving module 41, the mounting seat 42 drives the stirring rod 43 to move together; the stirring rod 43 is first inserted into the inner container 3, and then the driver 45 is started to drive the stirring rod 43 to rotate; the rotating stirring rod 43 uniformly stirs the physiological saline in the inner container 3 to achieve the effect of turning the material or cooling. After stirring is completed, the linear driving module 41 moves in the reverse direction to drive the stirring rod 43 to move out of the inner container 3, and then the inner container 3 can be taken out to pour out the prepared physiological saline ice sand on its inner side. Through the rotational movement of the stirring rod 43, it can be ensured that the physiological saline in the inner container 3 is uniformly refrigerated, improving the effect of making ice sand. During the stirring process, the flow of the physiological saline can accelerate the heat exchange with the refrigeration plate 2, thereby accelerating the cooling speed. The automated stirring and refrigeration process can significantly improve the preparation efficiency of medical ice sand and reduce manual operation.
[0037] It should be noted that the driving method of the linear driving module 41 can be set according to requirements (including but not limited to) the driving structure of the lead screw drive or the driving structure of the rodless cylinder.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, the body 1 further includes a timing module 5, which is electrically connected to the refrigerator and the stirring assembly 4 and is used to control the working time of the refrigerator and the stirring assembly 4 and the interval time between two stirring operations.
[0039] Specifically, the timing module 5 is connected to the refrigerator and the stirring assembly 4 through a circuit and can receive and send electrical signals. The user can set the working time of the refrigerator and the stirring assembly 4 and the interval time between two stirring operations on the timing module 5 according to needs, so that the stirring assembly 4 intermittently stirs the physiological saline, giving the physiological saline sufficient time to cool down after stirring. When the preset time point is reached, the timing module 5 will send an electrical signal to the refrigerator and the stirring assembly 4 to start or stop their work. For scenarios that require periodic work, the timing module 5 can cyclically send control signals to ensure that the refrigeration and stirring operations are carried out at predetermined time intervals. The use of the timing module 5 ensures that the working time of the refrigerator and the stirring assembly 4 can be precisely controlled, improving the automation degree of the device and the convenience of operation. By setting reasonable working time and interval, unnecessary energy waste is avoided, and the energy efficiency ratio of the device is improved. Timed stirring helps the physiological saline to freeze more evenly, forming finer ice sand, improving the ice-making efficiency and quality. The timing module 5 is arranged on the right side of the body 1, that is, the back of the body 1, and can be operated by the personnel under the operating table.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, the stirring rod 43 includes a rod body 431 and a stirring part 432, and the stirring part 432 is detachably connected to the rod body 431. The stirring rod 43 is divided into two parts, the rod body 431 and the stirring part 432, and the two are assembled together through a detachable connection method. This enables the stirring part 432 to be conveniently replaced or cleaned to ensure a sterile state during ice sand production. Moreover, since the stirring part 432 is detachable, when the stirring part 432 is worn or damaged, the user can replace the stirring part 432 alone without replacing the entire stirring rod 43. This helps to reduce the maintenance cost and extend the service life of the entire medical ice sand machine.
[0041] The stirring part 432 can be made of a flexible material to increase its flexibility and reduce the wear on the inner tank 3.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, a positioning shaft 32 is rotatably arranged at the inner bottom of the inner tank 3, and the end of the stirring rod 43 has a positioning groove 44 for the positioning shaft 32 to be inserted and fitted.
[0043] Specifically, the positioning shaft 32 is arranged at the inner bottom of the inner container 3 and is designed to be rotatable. Its main purpose is to provide a stable support point to ensure that the stirring rod 43 can be accurately and stably positioned in the inner container 3 during the stirring process. The positioning groove 44 provided at the end of the stirring rod 43 matches the positioning shaft 32 in the inner container 3. When the stirring rod 43 is inserted into the inner container 3, the positioning groove 44 can be accurately docked and fixed on the positioning shaft 32. This design helps to reduce the shaking and deviation during the stirring process and improve the accuracy and efficiency of stirring. When the stirring assembly 4 starts to work, the linear drive module 41 drives the mounting seat 42 to perform a linear motion, so that the stirring rod 43 can be smoothly inserted into the inner container 3. Once the positioning groove 44 at the end of the stirring rod 43 is docked and fixed with the positioning shaft 32 inside the inner container 3, the driver 45 starts to drive the stirring rod 43 to rotate and uniformly stir the physiological saline. Through the precise cooperation of the positioning shaft 32 and the positioning groove 44, the stirring rod 43 can work more stably in the inner container 3, reducing the uneven stirring caused by shaking and deviation, thereby improving the stirring efficiency.
[0044] It should be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art can make improvements or transformations according to the above description, and all such improvements and transformations should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present utility model.
