A return spring 110 is provided between the deformable ball 109 at the lower end of the plurality of deformable balls 109 and the protective cover body 101.

[0027] Except for the bottom one, every two adjacent stretch bands 111 are cross-arranged and a deformable ball 109 is connected in the middle. The bottom stretch band 111 among the multiple stretch bands 111 is placed horizontally. A plurality of fixed blocks 108 and stretch bands 111 are also provided at the upper part of one side of the inner part of the protective cover body 101. The two adjacent stretch bands 111 located above the stretch bands 111 are cross-arranged, and a deformable block 112 is provided between the two. A return spring 110 is also provided between the multiple deformable blocks 112 and the protective cover body 101. The sweat-absorbing layer 106 is made of polyester fiber, the antibacterial layer 107 is made of medical absorbent gauze and sodium zirconium silver phosphate, the stretch band 111 is made of polyurethane, the deformable ball 109 and the deformable block 112 are both made of polystyrene foam, the bending body 105 is made of polyurethane elastomer, which is a rectangular thin plate, and the protective cover body 101 is made of silicone.

[0028] Specifically, the protective cover body 101 is relatively soft overall. Its sweat-absorbing layer 106 is made of polyester fiber, which is heat-resistant, durable, hygroscopic, and easy to clean. It can absorb sweat in time and is easy to maintain. The antibacterial layer 107, made of a combination of medical absorbent gauze and sodium zirconium silver phosphate, has strong stability, strong antibacterial ability, high heat resistance, durability, and safety. It also has good sweat-conducting properties, reducing the adverse effects of long-term wear. The stretchable band 111 made of polyurethane has good elasticity and stretchability. When squeezed, it stretches and resets after the two deformable balls 109 and deformable blocks 112 deform and buffer. The entire body is then reset by the reset spring 110. Polystyrene foam is a commonly used cushioning material. The curved body 105 runs from the front of the interior of the protective cover body 101 to the back of the interior of the protective cover body 101. It is made of polyurethane elastomer, which allows the upper part of the protective cover body 101 to maintain its curved shape after bending, better adapting to the surface contour of the patient's skin and improving wearing comfort.

The two adhesive mechanisms 4 each include an adhesive tape 401, and an upper second Velcro 402 is provided under the two adhesive tapes 401.

[0030] Specifically, by connecting the lower No. 2 Velcro 202 and the upper No. 2 Velcro 402, the adhesive tape 401 is replaceable. Even if the adhesive tape 401 loses its stickiness, it is not necessary to discard the entire tape. Only the adhesive tape 401 needs to be replaced. The protective cover body 101 can continue to be used after cleaning and disinfection. Even if the entire tape is worn, it is convenient and saves costs.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The drainage tube body 3 includes a chest tube connector 303, a drainage pipe 301 is provided through the center of the rear end of the chest tube connector 303, and a clip 302 is provided around the drainage pipe 301 near the rear of the chest tube connector 303;

[0032] Specifically, the clip 302 and the chest tube connector 303 have different shapes, and can be placed as a whole in the groove at the lower end of the protective cover body 101, and then can be bundled with the binding belt 102. After bundling, the size is adjusted and the next Velcro 103 and the previous Velcro 113 on it are fitted together, at this time, the restriction of the drainage tube body 3 is achieved.

[0033] Working principle: When using the device, the drainage tube body 3 can be placed in the groove at the lower end of the protective cover body 101 first, and then the binding belt 102 will wrap the clip 302 and the chest tube connector 303 inside. One side of the binding belt 102 passes through the side groove 104, and the next Velcro 113 is fitted with the previous Velcro 103. At this time, the drainage tube body 3 is fixed, and then it is attached to the patient through the adhesive tape 401. When the patient turns over, it will first press on the two sides of the lower end of the protective cover body 101, and the deformable ball 109 and the deformable ball 109 inside it will be deformed. The shaped block 112 is deformed by compression to provide a buffer, and the internal elastic band 111 is also deformed, and works together with the return spring 110 to perform a reset operation, thereby preventing the protective cover body 101 from being too thick and too hard, thereby improving the patient's comfort. When sweat is produced during long-term wear, the sweat-absorbing layer 106 can absorb the sweat and facilitate subsequent cleaning. The internal antibacterial layer 107 can reduce the growth of bacteria and prevent allergies caused by prolonged wear. The internally provided curved body 105 can enable the upper end of the protective cover body 101 to better adapt to the patient's skin contour, thereby improving comfort.

[0034] Secondly, when the adhesive tape 401 loses its stickiness after being worn for too long, in order to prevent it from loosening, the two adhesive tapes 401 can be torn off from the strap mechanism 2. At this time, the upper second Velcro 402 and the lower second Velcro 202 are separated, and the adhesive tape 401 can be replaced.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
