[0002] Radiotherapy is an important treatment method for head and neck tumors. For some early-stage head and neck tumors, radiotherapy can achieve the same good tumor cure rate as surgery, and is superior to surgery in terms of organ function preservation; however, various complications may occur during or after radiotherapy, among which radiation dermatitis is one of them, and doing a good job in sun protection is one of the most effective methods to prevent and control radiation dermatitis.

[0003] At present, there are many kinds of sunscreen mask products and hooded sunscreen clothes on the market, etc., but they are not suitable for head and neck radiotherapy patients. For example, the hooded sunscreen clothes on the market have the phenomenon that the sunscreen clothes fit on the neck due to static electricity or insufficient shielding range, etc., which is easy to cause infection and affect the air permeability. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a sunscreen device for head and neck radiotherapy patients. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] Based on this, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a sunscreen device for head and neck radiotherapy patients that can avoid infection and has good air permeability.

The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0022] A sunscreen device for head and neck radiotherapy patients, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown, includes a hat 1, the hat 1 is used to be worn on the patient's head, a cloak 2 detachably connected to the hat 1, the cloak 2 is in a circular ring shape, the cloak 2 is used to block ultraviolet rays, a transparent mesh 3 provided on the cloak 2, the patient views the external environment through the transparent mesh 3, and several blocking mechanisms 5 provided on the hat 1 for supporting the cloak 2; the blocking mechanism 5 includes a rotating base 51 provided inside the hat 1, a rotating block 52 rotatably connected to the rotating base 51, and a blocking rod 53 provided on the rotating block 52, the blocking rod 53 can be rotated to contact the inner side of the cloak 2.

[0023] It can be understood that when the sunscreen device needs to be used, medical staff put the hat 1 on the patient's head, and make the transparent mesh 3 of the cloak 2 located on the front side of the patient's face, so that the patient can view the external environment through the transparent mesh 3 and keep the vision clear. The cloak 2 is made of anti-ultraviolet material, and the brim part of the hat 1 extends beyond the patient's shoulders, so that after the cloak 2 is unfolded, it is located outside the patient's shoulders, which can prevent the cloak 2 from fitting with the patient's neck and achieve good air permeability. The operator can also detach the hat 1 and the cloak 2 for separate cleaning to achieve better cleaning effect, and the hat 1 can be used directly, such as Figure 5 shown, medical staff can also push the blocking rod 53 to rotate. The rotation of the blocking rod 53 drives the rotating block 52 to rotate on the rotating seat 51, so that the blocking rod 53 rotates to contact the inner side of the cloak 2, so that the blocking rod 53 supports the part of the cloak 2 close to the human face. There is damping between the rotating block 52 and the rotating seat 51. When the wind is strong, it can prevent the cloak 2 from blowing onto the human face and causing the line of sight to be blocked, and can further prevent the cloak 2 from fitting with the patient's neck and causing infection. Since there is damping between the rotating block 52 and the rotating seat 51, it can relatively avoid the rotation of the blocking rod 53 caused by the wind, and through the rotatability of the blocking rod 53, the sunscreen device can be easily stored. In this embodiment, two blocking mechanisms 5 are provided, and in other embodiments, more can be added, so that multiple blocking mechanisms 5 are arranged around the hat 1, which can further prevent the cloak 2 from being blown by the wind and fitting with the patient's neck.

[0024] such as Figure 3 shown, the cloak 2 detachably connected to the hat 1 through the connecting buckle 4. The connecting buckle 4 includes a plurality of female buckles arranged in an arc array along the inner outer edge of the hat 1, and a plurality of male buckles arranged in an arc array on the upper outer wall of the cloak 2. The female buckles correspond to the male buckles. The male buckle also includes a groove body that sequentially penetrates through the conical head 45 and a part of the connecting block 44. In this embodiment, the groove body is a cross groove 46, and in other embodiments, the groove body can be a straight groove.

[0025] When the operator needs to connect the cloak 2 with the hat 1, the operator can insert the male buckle into the female buckle to complete the connection. To disassemble, the operator only needs to remove the male buckle from the female buckle. Specifically, the female buckle includes a mounting block 41 fixedly connected to the hat 1, an inner cavity 42 provided inside the mounting block 41, and a through hole 43 penetrating through one side of the mounting block 41 and communicating with the inner cavity 42. The male buckle includes a connecting block 44 fixedly connected to the cloak 2, and a tapered head 45 provided on the connecting block 44. The operator can push the connecting block 44 to form a squeezing force between the tapered head 45 and the mounting block 41. This squeezing force will cause the tapered head 45 to deform, the tapered head 45 to shrink towards the middle, and the cross groove 46 to become smaller. Thus, the tapered head 45 passes through the through hole 43 and enters the inner cavity 42, thereby achieving the connection between the female buckle and the male buckle. When the female buckle and the male buckle need to be separated, the operator can directly pull out the male buckle from the female buckle. Both the side of the tapered head 45 facing away from the connecting block 44 and the side connected to the connecting block 44 are tapered. Thus, the specific working principle of pulling out the male buckle from the female buckle is similar to the working principle of connecting the two, and will not be elaborated here.

[0026] A plurality of torsion members are connected between the rotating base 51 and the rotating block 52. The torsion members are used to prevent the blocking rod 53 from rotating easily when the blocking rod 53 contacts the cloak 2.

[0027] It can be understood that the torsion member is a torsion spring 54. When the blocking rod 53 contacts the cloak 2, the torsion spring 54 is in a non-deformed state. By setting the torsion spring 54, it can further prevent the blocking rod 53 from being blown by the wind and rotating, resulting in the cloak 2 fitting against the patient's face or neck, causing visual obstruction or neck infection. Further, the operator can rotate the blocking rod 53 to a horizontal state, that is, not in contact with the cloak 2, and the torsion spring 54 deforms. Then, the sunscreen device can be stored in the box.

[0028] As Figure 4 shown, the hat 1 is also provided with a clamping mechanism 6 corresponding to the number of the blocking mechanisms 5. The clamping mechanism 6 is used to limit the blocking rod 53 of the blocking mechanism 5.

[0029] It can be understood that in order to further facilitate the storage of the sunscreen device, the operator rotates the blocking rod 53 to a horizontal state and limits it through the blocking mechanism 5. Thus, when storing, the torsion spring 54 will not drive the blocking rod 53 to rotate and unfold, achieving the effect of facilitating storage.

[0030] The locking mechanism 6 includes a bracket 61 fixedly connected to the hat 1, an annular elastic buckle 62 provided on the bracket 61, and an opening 63 opened on the elastic buckle 62. When the blocking rod 53 is located in the middle of the elastic buckle 62, the elastic buckle 62 limits the blocking rod 53.

[0031] It can be understood that when the blocking rod 53 is rotated into a horizontal state, the blocking rod 53 will squeeze the opening 63 of the elastic buckle 62, and the opening 63 of the elastic buckle 62 will be deformed. When the blocking rod 53 moves to the middle of the elastic buckle 62, the elastic buckle 62 is restored from the deformed state to limit the blocking rod 53. When it is necessary to no longer limit the blocking rod 53 with the elastic buckle 62, the operator directly pulls the blocking rod 53 to pull the blocking rod 53 out of the opening 63 of the elastic buckle 62. The working principle of removing the blocking rod 53 from the middle of the elastic buckle 62 is basically similar to the working principle of installing it, and will not be elaborated on.

[0032] To sum up, by setting the cloak 2 on the brim of the hat 1, the cloak 2 can be opened and placed outside the patient's shoulders, which can prevent the cloak 2 from fitting against the patient's neck, avoid infection, and provide good air permeability. Furthermore, by pushing the blocking rod 53 to rotate, the blocking rod 53 rotates and drives the rotating block 52 to rotate on the rotating seat 51, so that the blocking rod 53 rotates to contact the inner side of the cloak 2, so that the blocking rod 53 supports the part of the cloak 2 close to the face side of the person. There is damping between the rotating block 52 and the rotating seat 51. When the wind is strong, the cloak 2 can be prevented from blowing onto the face of the person and obstructing people's vision, and the cloak 2 can be further prevented from being blown by the wind and fitting against the patient's neck, thereby further avoiding infection on the patient's neck.
