Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of nursing instruments, and more specifically, to a knee protector for childbirth. Background Art

[0002] In the medical field, especially in obstetric practice, doctors and midwives play a crucial role during childbirth. Childbirth is a job that requires both professional skills and physical support. Doctors often need to maintain a specific posture for a long time during this process to ensure the safety of the parturient and the newborn. Among them, the kneeling position is a common posture during childbirth, which helps doctors observe and operate better, but at the same time brings certain physical burdens.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to relieve the knee soreness problem caused by the long-term kneeling position of doctors during childbirth, knee protectors, that is, knee pads, are usually used. These knee pads are usually made of soft materials such as sponge, rubber or gel, aiming to provide buffering and protection for the knees and reduce the discomfort and pain caused by direct contact with the hard ground.

[0004] However, although the use of knee pads alleviates the knee discomfort to a certain extent, they still have some technical defects. Especially during long-term use, the buffering material of the knee pads may not be able to continuously provide sufficient protection, resulting in a still sore feeling in the knee area. In addition, due to the particularity of the childbirth process, doctors need to frequently adjust their postures and positions, and the existing knee pads may not provide sufficient flexibility and adaptability, thus affecting the childbirth efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above technical defect problems, it is necessary to propose a knee protector for childbirth. Summary of the Utility Model

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to propose a knee protector for childbirth aiming at the above defects. This protector has a cold compress function. When the user uses it, it can relieve the knee pain problem caused by long-term kneeling, so that the user can maintain the kneeling position for a long time during childbirth.

[0007] The utility model provides a knee protector for childbirth, including:

[0008] A knee pad main body, an outer shell protection layer is arranged at the middle of the outer side surface of the knee pad main body, and a plurality of airbag layers are distributed along the outer peripheral direction on the outer end surface of the outer shell protection layer, and the airbag layers are filled with gas;

[0009] Cooling layer, the cooling layer is arranged on the inner side of the knee pad main body, and a receiving cavity is formed in the cooling layer. Ice water with broken ice is contained in the receiving cavity. An expansion layer is arranged between the cooling layer and the inner end face of the knee pad main body. There is no gas in the expansion layer, and a trachea for mutual communication is arranged between the expansion layer and the airbag layer.

[0010] Preferably: Several protrusions are distributed at one end of the receiving cavity facing the inner side direction. During use, the protrusions can press and contact the ice columns in the receiving cavity.

[0011] Preferably: Several connecting strips made of sponge material are distributed along the inner end face of the cooling layer. During use, the connecting strips can form an uneven contact surface with the inner end face of the cooling layer.

[0012] Preferably: One inlet pipe and one outlet pipe are respectively arranged between the interior of the receiving cavity and the top end face and the bottom end face of the cooling layer. At the same time, sealing caps are threadedly connected to the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe.

[0013] Preferably: Adjusting layers are distributed along the inner end face of the knee pad main body on the left and right sides of the cooling layer. One end of the adjusting layer is a fixed end and is connected to the inner end face of the knee pad main body, while the other end is a free end.

Specific embodiments

[0024] Next, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] As shown in the attached Figure 1 to the attached Figure 4 figures: A knee protector for childbirth includes a knee protector main body 1. An outer shell protection layer 2 is arranged at the middle of the outer side surface of the knee protector main body 1. The outer shell protection layer 2 can be made of hard plastic or rubber. During use, it can contact the ground through the outer shell protection layer 2. At the same time, a cooling layer 3 is arranged on the inner side surface of the knee protector main body 1. The cooling layer 3 is mainly made of silica gel or elastic plastic, such as TPE thermoplastic elastomer and TPU thermoplastic polyurethane materials. And one accommodation cavity 31 is formed inside the cooling layer 3. One inlet tube 32 and one discharge tube 33 are respectively arranged between the inside of the accommodation cavity 31 and the top end surface and the bottom end surface of the cooling layer 3. During use, the user is allowed to load an ice column smaller than the aperture of the inlet tube 32 into the accommodation cavity 31, or ice water with crushed ice can be introduced into the accommodation cavity 31 through the inlet tube 32. In this way, the cooling layer 3 can achieve the cold compress function through the ice column or ice water. For example, after the ice column or ice water is loaded into the accommodation cavity 31, the entire knee protector is worn on the user's knee. At this time, the cooling layer 3 can contact the user's knee, and then the kneeling part of the user's knee can be subjected to cold compress treatment.

[0026] Further, one strap 11 is respectively arranged at the left end and the right end on the outer side of the knee protector main body 1, and magic tapes which are adhesively connected to each other are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the straps 11. The magic tapes are used for adhesively connecting the straps 11. When in use, the whole knee protector can be attached to the user's knee through the straps 11, and then the straps 11 can be adhesively connected and fixed through the magic tapes.

[0027] Further, sealing caps 34 are also threadedly connected to the inlet pipe 32 and the outlet pipe 33. When in use, the user can block and seal the inlet pipe 32 and the outlet pipe 33 through the sealing caps 34.

[0028] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of airbag layers 21 are distributed along the outer peripheral direction on the outer end face of the outer shell protection layer 2. The airbag layers 21 are filled with gas. Then, an expansion layer 22 is arranged between the inner end face of the knee protector main body 1 and the cooling layer 3. No gas is provided in the expansion layer 22. Subsequently, a plurality of air pipes 23 are arranged between the expansion layer 22 and the airbag layers 21. The air pipes 23 are used for enabling the gas in the airbag layers 21 to communicate with the expansion layer 22. This design allows that when the airbag layers 21 are squeezed, the gas in the airbag layers 21 can be squeezed into the expansion layer 22, so that the expansion layer 22 can expand. During the expansion process, a thrust can be applied to the cooling layer 3. Through the thrust, the cooling layer 3 can contact with the user's knee deeper, and thus the knee protector can be cooled better. For example, when the user kneels down, the airbag layers 21 will be squeezed first. During the squeezing process, the gas in the airbag layers 21 can be sent into the expansion layer 22. Since the user's knee is pressed on the cooling layer 3 and the expansion layer 22 is arranged below the cooling layer 3, the expansion layer 22 can apply an upward thrust to the cooling layer 3 during the expansion process. Combining with this thrust, the cooling layer 3 can contact with the user's knee more closely, so that the cold compress effect of the ice columns or ice water in the cooling layer 3 can be increased.

[0029] In addition, if the user feels uncomfortable during cold compress, the knee can be gently lifted. When lifting, the airbag layers 21 will re-expand and reset, so that the airbag layers 21 can suck out the gas in the expansion layer 22. After sucking out, the expansion layer 22 cannot apply a thrust to the cooling layer 3, so that the tight state between the expansion layer 22 and the cooling layer 3 can be released, and thus the cold compress effect of the cooling layer 3 on the knee can be weakened.

[0030] Further, the airbag layers 21 and the expansion layer 22 can be made of silica gel or elastic plastic. This design can meet the normal expansion and contraction requirements of the airbag layers 21 and the expansion layer 22.

[0031] As Figure 2 andFigure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a number of connecting strips 35 are distributed along the inner end face of the cooling layer 3. The connecting strips 35 can be made of sponge material. This design enables an uneven contact surface to be formed between the inner end face of the cooling layer 3 and the connecting strips 35, which helps to disperse pressure. When the cooling layer 3 and the connecting strips 35 come into contact with the user's knee, the pressure on the user's knee can be reduced. On the contrary, when the inner end face of the cooling layer 3 adopts a flat structure, the pressure on the knee will increase. Therefore, adopting an uneven contact surface can improve the wearing comfort of the knee pad.

[0032] Furthermore, a number of protrusions 36 are distributed at one end of the accommodation cavity 31 facing the inner side. The protrusions 36 are used to press and contact the ice columns in the accommodation cavity 31. This design can prevent the ice columns from making hard contact with the user's knee, thereby protecting the knee.

[0033] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in this embodiment, one adjusting layer 4 is distributed along the inner end face of the knee pad main body 1 on both the left and right sides of the cooling layer 3. One end of the adjusting layer 4 is a fixed end, connected to the inner end face of the knee pad main body 1, and the other end is a free end, allowing it to be unfolded or folded on the inner end face of the knee pad main body 1. This design is convenient for adapting to the knee characteristics of different patients. For example, for users with thicker knees, the free end can be appropriately unfolded so that the cooling layer 3 can wrap the knee more loosely, improving the overall comfort and fit; while for users with thinner knees, a part of the free end can be folded to make the knee pad fit the knee more tightly, enhancing the cooling effect.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only specific implementation manners of the present application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than limiting it. The protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or can easily think of changes, or perform equivalent replacements on some of the technical features; and these modifications, changes or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and should all be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
