[0026] The embodiment of the present application solves the technical problem in the prior art of lacking a device that can protect the back wound of a patient who has undergone thoracic surgery from being squeezed when the patient is in a supine position by providing a device for protecting the back wound after thoracic surgery.

[0027] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, one or more embodiments of the present application provide a postoperative back wound protection device for thoracic surgery. The device is in the shape of an I as a whole. When in use, the device is laid on the bed. When the patient lies on his back on the bed, the device is located between the patient's back and the bed, suspending the patient's back above the bed, thereby protecting the wound from being squeezed.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a vertical rod 100, a first cross bar 200 and a second cross bar 300 for supporting the back of a patient in a supine position, wherein the vertical rod 100 is arranged along the length direction of the patient, and the first cross bar 200 and the second cross bar 300 are both arranged along the width direction of the patient, and the first cross bar 200 and the second cross bar 300 are respectively arranged at both ends of the vertical rod 100 along the length direction, and the second cross bar 300 can slide and position along the length direction of the vertical rod 100 to adjust the position of the second cross bar 300 on the vertical rod 100, thereby avoiding the back wound, so that the back wound is suspended on the bed and is not squeezed, creating a good healing environment for the wound, and helping to keep the wound dry, thereby promoting wound healing.

[0030] The vertical rod 100 is in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped with a smooth upper surface. When in use, the vertical rod 100 is used to support the center of the back, that is, the spine, and extends along the length of the spine to provide upward support, playing the main role of supporting the patient's back.

[0031] The first crossbar 200 and the second crossbar 300 are both rectangular parallelepiped-shaped. The first crossbar 200 can be fixedly mounted on the top of the vertical bar 100, and the second crossbar 300 can be slidably mounted on the second crossbar 300. The first crossbar 200 and the second crossbar 300 are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the vertical bar. The upper surfaces of the first crossbar 200 and the second crossbar 300 are both smooth. When in use, the first crossbar 200 is used to support the back near the shoulders, and the second crossbar 300 is used to support the back near the waist, thereby supporting the patient's back from both ends and providing vertical support. Therefore, the first crossbar 200, the second crossbar 300, and the vertical bar 100 can stably support the patient.

[0032] It should be noted that the first crossbar 200, the second crossbar 300 and the vertical bar 100 may also adopt other shapes or structures, for example, they may be prism-shaped, but the top surface in contact with the human body is preferably flat to reduce the foreign body sensation during use.

[0033] Generally speaking, the wound caused by thoracic surgery is located in the upper middle part of the back and on one side of the back. The vertical rod 100 is located in the middle of the back, the first horizontal rod 200 is close to the shoulder, and the second horizontal rod 300 is close to the waist, which can basically avoid the wound caused by thoracic surgery. However, in order to improve practicality, the position of the second horizontal rod 300 on the vertical rod 100 is adjustable. On the one hand, it can ensure that the device avoids the back wound, and on the other hand, it can be suitable for patients of different heights, allowing patients to adjust their position to the most comfortable state.

[0034] In addition, in order to prevent the device from causing a sharp contact sensation or even injuring the patient, the sharp corners of the vertical rod 100, the first horizontal rod 200 and the second horizontal rod 300 are all rounded.

[0035] In addition, the floor where the vertical rod 100, the first crossbar 200, and the second crossbar 300 come into contact with the bed is frosted to increase friction and prevent the device from shifting on the bed. Of course, other anti-slip structures may also be provided, such as anti-slip stripes, anti-slip grooves, and the like.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a plurality of hook grooves 110 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the vertical rod 100, and each hook groove 110 is arranged in sequence along the length direction of the vertical rod 100, and grips 310 are symmetrically provided on the left and right sides of the second cross bar 300, and a grip 310 is respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the second cross bar 300, and the rear end of the grip is fixed on the second cross bar 300, and the front end of the grip 310 has a hook body that can be embedded in the hook groove 110, and the rear end of the grip 310 extends obliquely into the second cross bar 300 and is arranged in the second cross bar 300 by a spring 330. Since the grip 310 can be snapped into the corresponding hook groove 110, the second cross bar 300 can be locked on the vertical rod 100 to prevent the second cross bar 300 from moving again after the position is determined and affecting use.

[0037] Specifically, the front end of the grip 310 is manually moved outward from the hook slot and backward, causing the grip 310 to move into the second crossbar 300. The spring 330 contracts, allowing the grip 310 to disengage from the hook slot 110, allowing the second crossbar 300 to move or detach from the vertical bar 100. When the grip 310 is pulled toward the center vertical bar 100, the spring 330 extends, causing the grip 310 to move toward the vertical bar 100 and hook into the hook slot 110 on the same side, positioning the second crossbar 300 on the vertical bar 100. This allows the second crossbar 300 to be locked and unlocked relative to the vertical bar 100, resulting in a simple structure and convenient operation.

[0038] Furthermore, the interior of the second cross bar 300 is hollow, and a through hole is provided on the outer wall of the second cross bar 300 for the gripper 310 to pass through or out of the inner cavity of the second cross bar 300, and a channel 340 is provided in the second cross bar 300 around the outer periphery of the gripper 310 and the spring 330. The inner wall of the channel 340 can constrain the movement path of the gripper 310 and the spring 330 to avoid displacement and twisting of the spring 330 during contraction and extension.

[0039] Specifically, the channel 340 can be a hollow tube that is tilted and fixedly disposed within the second crossbar 300. The opening of the hollow tube communicates with the through hole on the second crossbar 300, allowing the gripper 310 to pass through or out of the hollow tube. The spring 330 is disposed within the hollow tube, and the bottom end of the spring 330 is fixed to the bottom of the hollow tube.

[0040] Furthermore, an operating protrusion 320 is provided on the outer wall of the grip 310 to facilitate finger contact operation to achieve the locking and disengagement of the grip 310 and the hook groove 110.

[0041] An electric fan is also provided in the first cross bar 200 and / or the second cross bar 300. Air outlets 400 are respectively provided on the surfaces of the first cross bar 200 and / or the second cross bar 300 that are in contact with and / or close to the patient's skin when in use. The air outlets 400 guide the wind to blow toward the patient's back to achieve heat dissipation, thereby increasing comfort and facilitating wound healing.

[0042] Specifically, to increase the cooling effect, multiple air outlets 400 are respectively provided on the first cross bar 200 and the second cross bar 300. For example, 4 or more air outlets 400 are respectively provided at both ends of the first cross bar 200 and the second cross bar 300, and each air outlet 400 is independently configured with an electric fan.

[0043] Furthermore, an air outlet fence is provided on the air outlet 400 to prevent foreign objects from being drawn into the electric fan and causing damage to the electric fan or harming the user.

[0044] A temperature sensor 500 and a humidity sensor 600 are also provided on the first cross bar 200, the second cross bar 300 and / or the vertical bar 100 to obtain the temperature and humidity around the wound. The device also includes a controller, and the signal input end of the controller is connected to the temperature sensor 500 and the humidity sensor 600 respectively, for receiving the temperature signal obtained by the temperature sensor 500 and the humidity signal obtained by the humidity sensor 600. The signal output end of the controller outputs a control signal, and the control signal is used to control the opening, closing and speed of the electric fan.

[0045] The controller pre-stores a suitable temperature range (for example, 26°C to 28°C) and a suitable humidity range (for example, a relative humidity of 40% to 60%). The controller determines whether the temperature obtained by the temperature sensor 500 and the humidity obtained by the humidity sensor 600 are within the pre-stored suitable temperature range and suitable humidity range. Once the temperature and / or humidity are not within the corresponding suitable temperature range or suitable humidity range, the controller drives the electric fan to turn on or increases the wind speed when the electric fan is turned on until the temperature and / or humidity are within the corresponding suitable temperature range or suitable humidity range. This is conducive to keeping the wound dry, creating a good healing environment for the wound, promoting wound recovery, and improving the intelligence level of the device and the patient's usage experience.

[0046] Of course, if there are multiple temperature sensors 500 and / or humidity sensors 600, the highest value, lowest value or average value of temperature and / or humidity can be selected as a reference value to determine whether it belongs to the suitable temperature range or the suitable humidity range according to the specific situation.

[0047] It should be noted that the relevant technologies of the above-mentioned control algorithm have been widely disclosed. For the relevant implementation methods of the control algorithm, please refer to the existing technology, which does not fall within the scope of protection of this application and will not be described here one by one.

[0048] The device also includes a communication component for connecting the controller to an external terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, computer, remote control device, etc.), thereby enabling communication between the external terminal device and the device. For example, the controller can communicate with the external terminal device via the communication component (e.g., wireless communication) to update software and / or parameters and / or read data. For another example, based on the communication component, the external terminal device can obtain the operating parameters of the device, or the external terminal device can input control instructions to control the device, etc., so that a doctor can control the device from his office.

[0049] It should be noted that the related technologies of the above communication method have been widely disclosed. For the related implementation methods of the communication method, please refer to the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0050] The device also includes a power supply, which is electrically connected to the device's electrical equipment (e.g., an electric fan, a controller, etc.) to provide power. The power supply can be a disposable dry cell battery or a rechargeable battery, or a combination of the two. Disposable batteries are replaceable, while rechargeable batteries require a reserved charging port. For example, in some embodiments, the device may also have a data / power port, such as a USB port, which allows a user to charge the power supply, update software and / or parameters on the controller, and / or read data from the controller.

[0051] The device may also be directly provided with a plug that can be electrically connected to a mains socket to obtain electricity. Of course, both of the above two ways of obtaining electricity may also be provided.

[0052] In addition, in order to facilitate quick operation by the user, a switch button can be set on one side of the device, and the switch button is connected to the controller, so that the user can quickly start or turn off the electric fan and other equipment of the device.

[0053] Furthermore, the device also includes a pressure-reducing pad (not shown in the figure), which can be fixed to the surface of the first crossbar 200, the second crossbar 300, and / or the vertical rod 100 that contacts the skin, or can be provided as a separate consumable and laid on the first crossbar 200, the second crossbar 300, and the vertical rod 100 during use. The pressure-reducing pad can be made of a soft, skin-friendly, and breathable material, such as a silicone pad or a cotton pad. The pressure-reducing pad itself is soft, which can increase user comfort, reduce pressure around the wound, and promote blood circulation.

[0054] Of course, the size of the pressure relief pad should be as consistent as possible with the upper surface of the first cross bar 200, the second cross bar 300 and the vertical bar 100 to avoid touching the wound. In addition, the pressure relief pad can be provided with a ventilation window at the above-mentioned air outlet 400 to avoid blocking the air outlet of the electric fan and affecting the heat dissipation effect.
