Utility Model Content
[0003] The utility model provides a foot ice compress device to solve the technical problem that the foot ice compress device in the prior art can only perform ice compress on the entire foot but cannot perform ice compress on the injured part.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present utility model is as follows:
[0005] A foot ice compress device comprises an outer shell conforming to the shape of the foot; an ice compress layer and a gel layer are sequentially arranged on the inner side of the outer shell from the outside inward; the ice compress layer is a hollow structural layer; the ice compress layer can be filled with a refrigerant; the ice compress layer is provided with an instep, a toe portion, a sole of the foot, and an ankle portion; the hollow structural layer is formed by connecting two waterproof layers; the two waterproof layers at the connection between the toe portion, the sole of the foot, and the ankle portion are detachably and hermetically connected.
[0006] Furthermore, the two waterproof layers located at the connection between the toe, the sole and the ankle are provided with a number of raised grooves distributed at equal intervals toward the same side, and the grooves on the two waterproof layers can be overlapped together to make the connection between the toe, the sole and the ankle a detachable and airtight connection.
[0007] Furthermore, among the two layers of waterproof layers, one layer is the base layer and the other layer is the embedded layer. Each groove on the base layer is provided with an elastic ring along the inner side of its groove. The groove on the embedded layer can be correspondingly embedded in the groove on the base layer to make the two layers of waterproof layers tightly connected.
[0008] Furthermore, the shell includes a bottom plate and a top plate; one side of the top plate is movably connected to one side of the bottom plate, and the other side of the top plate is connected to the other side of the bottom plate through a connecting piece; the inner sides of the bottom plate and the top plate are respectively provided with an ice compress layer and a gel layer from the outside to the inside; the instep is provided on the top plate; the toes, the sole of the foot and the ankle are provided on the bottom plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the connecting piece is a strap or a hidden buckle.
[0010] Furthermore, the instep, the toes, the sole and the ankle are respectively provided with refrigerant medium filling inlets; and a sealing member is respectively installed on each of the refrigerant medium filling inlets.
[0011] Furthermore, the gel layer is a hydrophilic polymer gel.
[0012] Furthermore, the refrigerant medium is water.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] (1) The utility model is provided with an instep, toe, sole and ankle on the ice compress layer, and the connection between the toe, sole and ankle is detachably sealed by two layers of waterproof layers. When in use, the ice compress layer can be selectively filled with a cooling medium according to the patient's injured part and injured area. For example, when the toe is injured, only the toe can be filled with cooling medium for cold compress. When the injured area is too large, the two layers of waterproof layers at the connection can be pulled apart to make the toe and sole of the foot connected to each other. At this time, the toe and sole of the foot including their sealed connection can be filled with cooling medium, which can meet the needs of patients with large injured areas. Therefore, the utility model can meet the ice compress needs of different injured parts and different ice compress areas, and will not cause discomfort to patients by ice compressing non-essential parts, and is highly practical.
[0015] (2) In the present invention, the ice compress layer is hard after being frozen. Therefore, the present invention sets a gel layer on the ice compress layer. On the one hand, the gel layer is soft and has a certain thickness, which can avoid the ice compress layer from directly contacting the skin. When fixed on the patient's foot, the gel layer can stick to the skin with high adhesion, solving the technical problem of the ice compress layer being too hard and having poor adhesion to the skin. On the other hand, the gel layer has a good heat transfer effect, and the low temperature of the ice compress layer can be directly transferred to the gel layer. The gel layer is used to cool the foot, which can avoid the problem of the ice compress layer directly contacting the skin after freezing, causing discomfort to the patient. Therefore, the present invention has a high adhesion to the foot and a good ice compress effect.
[0016] (3) The material of the gel layer in the present invention is a hydrophilic polymer gel, which can be used in conjunction with trauma medicine. After the trauma medicine is applied to the affected area, it is covered with the gel layer. Part of the trauma medicine is slowly absorbed by the skin, and part is absorbed by the gel layer. Therefore, the gel layer can prolong the efficacy of the medicine and improve the medicinal effect. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a foot cooling device, comprising a housing 1 shaped like a foot; an ice layer 2 and a gel layer 3 are disposed on the inner side of the housing 1, sequentially from the outside inward; the ice layer 2 is a hollow structure capable of being filled with a refrigerant; the ice layer 2 is provided with an instep 21, a toe portion 22, a sole, and an ankle portion 23; the hollow structure is formed by connecting two waterproof layers; the two waterproof layers at the junction of the toe portion 22, the sole, and the ankle portion 23 are detachably sealed. In this embodiment, the ice layer 2 is a hollow structure. After being filled with a refrigerant, the ice layer 2 is placed in a refrigerator for freezing and cooling, and then removed for use as an ice compress on the foot. This embodiment is also designed to address common foot injuries in clinical practice. The corresponding locations of the ice compress layer 2 are divided into the instep 21, toes 22, sole, and ankle 23. The toes 22, sole, and ankle 23 are connected using a detachable, sealed connection. In clinical practice, the refrigerant filling area can be adjusted based on the size of the patient's injured area and the area requiring cold compress. This ensures effective cold compressing without causing discomfort to the patient by applying cold to unnecessary areas, thus providing high practicality.
[0023] Preferably, in this embodiment, the two waterproof layers located at the connection between the toe portion 22, the sole of the foot, and the ankle portion 23 are provided with a number of raised grooves 26 distributed at equal intervals toward the same side, and the grooves 26 on the two waterproof layers can be overlapped to make the connection between the toe portion 22, the sole of the foot, and the ankle portion 23 detachable and airtight. When it is necessary to expand the cold compress area, the two layers of ice compress layers 2 at the connection can be pulled apart to separate them and fill with more refrigerant. Furthermore, in this embodiment, of the two waterproof layers, one is a base layer 24 and the other is an embedded layer 25. Each groove 26 on the base layer 24 is provided with an elastic ring 27 along the inner side of its notch. The grooves 26 on the embedded layer 25 can be correspondingly embedded in the grooves 26 on the base layer 24 to make the two waterproof layers airtightly connected. The waterproof layer can be made of a plastic material with a certain strength and hardness. The grooves 26 on the base layer 24 and the embedded layer 25 are both semicircular grooves 26. The specific size design is based on the principle that the raised semicircular groove 26 on the embedded layer 25 can be precisely embedded in the groove 26 of the base layer 24 and can be compressed and sealed by the elastic ring 27. Under this design, the toes 22, the sole of the foot, and the ankle 23 can be sealed at the joints without affecting each other. When the refrigerant is filled into one part, it will not flow to other parts. When it is necessary to expand a certain part or to apply a cold compress to the entire foot, the embedded layer 25 and the base layer 24 can be separated by the action of an external force. At this time, not only can the joints be filled with refrigerant, but the refrigerant can also be filled into the parts through a single filling port 4, which is convenient to operate.
[0024] When a patient is injured, the foot cannot move. In order to facilitate the patient to wear the foot ice compress device, as a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, the shell 1 includes a bottom plate 11 and a top plate 12; one side of the top plate 12 is movably connected to one side of the bottom plate 11, and the other side of the top plate 12 is connected to the other side of the bottom plate 11 through a connector; the inner sides of the bottom plate 11 and the top plate 12 are respectively provided with an ice compress layer 2 and a gel layer 3 from the outside to the inside; the instep 21 is provided on the top plate 12; the toe 22, the sole of the foot and the ankle 23 are provided on the bottom plate 11. Specifically, the connector is a strap or a hidden buckle, preferably a strap. When wearing, the top plate 12 can be opened, and after wearing, the bottom plate 11 and the bottom plate 11 are fixedly connected by a strap or a hidden buckle.
[0025] To facilitate the filling of the cooling medium into the ice pack 2, preferably, in this embodiment, the instep 21, the toes 22, the sole, and the ankle 23 are each provided with a cooling medium filling port 4. Each cooling medium filling port 4 is fitted with a seal. When in use, the cooling medium can be filled into the ice pack 2 by opening the seal.
[0026] Preferably, in this embodiment, the gel layer 3 is a hydrophilic polymer gel. Compared to temperature buffer layers such as fabric, the hydrophilic polymer gel used in this embodiment has a unique advantage. Traumatic medicine can be used in conjunction with the cold compress. After the trauma medicine is applied to the affected area, it is covered by the hydrophilic polymer gel gel layer 3. Part of the trauma medicine is slowly absorbed by the skin, and part is absorbed by the gel layer 3. Therefore, the gel layer 3 can prolong the efficacy of the medicine and improve its medicinal effect.
[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, the refrigerant medium is water.
[0028] During use, the ice compress layer 2 can be appropriately filled with water according to the needs of the injured part. When the injured part is small, the corresponding part can be filled with water. When the injured part is large, or even the entire foot needs to be iced, the two layers of waterproof layers at the connection between the parts can be pulled apart to increase the water filling area. After filling, the device is sent to the refrigeration equipment for rapid cooling and freezing, and then the patient can be put on the ice compress. When wearing the ice compress device of the utility model, the top plate 12 can be opened and put on. After wearing, the top plate 12 and the bottom plate 11 can be fixed to perform a cold compress. The utility model can be adaptively adjusted according to the injured part and injured area of different patients, and is highly practical.
[0029] Although the present invention has been disclosed above by way of embodiments, they are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art may make some modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be based on the definition of the claims.
