Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of ankle joint cold compress, and in particular relates to an ankle joint cold compress device. Background Art
[0002] Ankle injury is one of the most common sports injuries. Ankle injuries are more common when running, jumping or changing direction. Ankle braces protect the ankle by reducing pressure on the ankle.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN214967558U discloses a dual-purpose ankle joint protection and cold compress sleeve, which includes a strip-shaped protective sleeve and a foot cover arranged at the bottom of the protective sleeve; one end of the protective sleeve is provided with a main fixing strap, and the main fixing strap is provided with a Velcro bristle surface A, and the other end of the protective sleeve is fixedly connected to a secondary fixing strap, and the secondary fixing strap is provided with a Velcro fiber surface A; the inner side wall of the protective sleeve is provided with a thermal insulation sac, and the inner side wall of the thermal insulation sac is provided with a plurality of cold compress bags spaced apart along the extension direction of the protective sleeve and used for placing ice bags, the side wall of the cold compress bag is provided with an opening for placing the ice bag, and the two edges of the opening are respectively provided with mutually matching Velcro bristle surface B and fiber surface B. This dual-purpose ankle joint protection and cold compress sleeve is not only simple in structure, but also integrates protection and cold compress into one, making it convenient for the wearer to perform ankle ice compress.
[0004] While the device described in the comparative document is capable of providing ice for ankle joints, its design has significant limitations, particularly regarding tightness adjustment. The comparative document only provides for tightness adjustment via Velcro, a single adjustment mechanism that may introduce some inconveniences and limitations in actual use. First, adjusting the tightness of the Velcro is cumbersome. Users must repeatedly adjust the Velcro while wearing the device to ensure it fits snugly around the ankle and is neither too tight nor too loose. This process requires repeated trial and error to achieve the appropriate tightness, which can be difficult and inconvenient for some patients, especially those with limited mobility or impatience. Second, prolonged wearing of a Velcro-adjustable ice compress device may cause discomfort. Due to the limited adjustment precision of the Velcro, the device may become too tight in certain areas, resulting in excessive localized pressure. This is particularly common with prolonged wear and can cause problems such as poor circulation, localized tenderness, and even swelling. This constant pressure not only compromises the comfort of the ice compress but can also further impact the patient's overall experience and treatment effectiveness.
[0005] In view of this, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide an ankle joint cold compress device to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0008] A cold compress device for an ankle joint comprises: a connecting sleeve, a foot sleeve is provided at the bottom of the connecting sleeve, a cavity is provided inside the connecting sleeve, three air bags are provided inside the cavity, connecting belts are connected to both sides of the connecting sleeve, a plurality of cold compress bags for placing ice bags are fixedly connected in a straight line on one side of the connecting sleeve, the air inlet of the air bag is connected to an air inlet branch pipe, the air inlet of the air inlet branch pipe is connected to an adjustable air supply mechanism, a silicone air nozzle is connected to the air inlet of the air supply mechanism, the air supply mechanism comprises an air inlet pipe, one end of the air inlet pipe is connected to a tube body, one end of the tube body is connected to three connecting pipes corresponding to the air inlet branch pipe, the connecting pipe and the air inlet branch pipe are connected, and a sealing mechanism is provided inside the tube body.
[0009] Optionally, the sealing mechanism includes threaded holes opened on both sides of the connecting pipe, the internal threads of the threaded holes are connected to adjusting bolts, and one end of the adjusting bolt is fixedly connected to a sealing plug sliding in the connecting pipe.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, an ankle joint cold compress device is provided, including a connecting sleeve 1, a foot sleeve 2 is provided at the bottom of the connecting sleeve 1, the interior of the connecting sleeve 1 has a cavity, three air bags 4 are provided inside the cavity, connecting belts 5 are connected to both sides of the connecting sleeve 1, and a plurality of cold compress bags 6 for placing ice bags are fixedly connected in a straight line on one side of the connecting sleeve 1, the air inlet of the air bag 4 is connected to an air intake branch pipe 7, the air inlet of the air intake branch pipe 7 is connected to an adjustable air supply mechanism, a silicone air nozzle 8 is connected to the air inlet of the air supply mechanism, the air supply mechanism includes an air intake pipe 9, one end of the air intake pipe 9 is connected to a tube body 10, one end of the tube body 10 is connected to three connecting pipes 3 corresponding to the air intake branch pipe 7, the connecting pipe 3 and the air intake branch pipe 7 are connected, and a sealing mechanism is provided inside the tube body 10.
[0029] In this embodiment, the sealing mechanism includes threaded holes on either side of the connecting tube 3. Adjustment bolts 11 are threadedly connected to the interior of the threaded holes. One end of the adjustment bolts 11 is fixedly connected to a sealing plug 12 that slides within the connecting tube 3. The adjustment bolts 11 can rotate within the threaded holes, thereby pushing the sealing plug 12 along the length of the connecting tube 3. When the sealing plug 12 is adjusted to the edge of the connecting tube 3, the entire connecting tube 3 is fully open. At this point, the three airbags 4 can be inflated simultaneously through the air inlet pipe 9, ensuring that the cold compress device provides uniform cooling treatment to all parts of the ankle joint. When the sealing plug 12 slides along the connecting tube 3 to the side near the intermediate tube 10, it comes into close contact with the inner wall of the tube 10, completely sealing the air inlet of the intermediate tube 10 in the sliding section. At this point, the connecting tube 3 is effectively divided into multiple independent channels, allowing airflow to enter only certain airbags 4 while preventing the inflation of other airbags 4. In this way, the user can selectively inflate the two air bags 4 as needed to enhance the cooling effect on a specific area and reduce unnecessary cooling processes.
[0030] In this embodiment, a mounting bar 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting sleeve 1. An extension rod 14 is also fixedly connected to the other side of the connecting sleeve 1. Extension rod 14 secures the connecting tube 3 via a clamp. Through the coordination of mounting bar 13, extension rod 14, and their clamps, the device effectively secures the position of the connecting tube 3. The mounting bar 13 provides initial support, while the extension rod 14 further extends the securing range, allowing the connecting tube 3 to remain stable over a wider area.
[0031] In this embodiment, the length of the sealing plug 12 is set to be greater than the diameter of the tube body 10 but less than the diameter of the air inlet pipe 9. This length setting ensures that the sealing plug 12 can completely cover and seal the air inlet of the tube body 10 when sliding within the tube body 10, while not affecting the inflation of the other two airbags 4 in the air inlet pipe 9. The inflation state of the airbags 4 can be selectively controlled by adjusting the position of the sealing plug 12. With simple adjustments, the user can achieve independent or simultaneous inflation of different airbags 4, thereby flexibly adjusting the cold compress effect to meet different treatment needs.
[0032] The cold compress pack 6 utilizes a wavy layout. This wavy design not only increases the contact area of the cold compress pack 6 but also enhances its conformability to the ankle joint surface. This layout allows the cold compress pack 6 to better surround all areas of the ankle joint, ensuring a uniform cooling effect. Furthermore, the wavy structure effectively buffers localized pressure, enhancing patient comfort and reducing discomfort caused by excessive localized cooling.
[0033] In this embodiment, a fleece-surfaced Velcro 15 is provided on the side of the connecting belt 5 on the left side of the connecting sleeve 1 that is away from the foot cover 2, and a hook-surfaced Velcro 16 that matches the fleece-surfaced Velcro 15 is provided on the side of the connecting belt 5 on the right side of the connecting sleeve 1 that is close to the foot cover 2. Through the cooperation of the hook-surfaced Velcro 16 and the fleece-surfaced Velcro 15, the connecting sleeve 1 is firmly fixed around the patient's ankle joint. The hook-surfaced Velcro 16 and the fleece-surfaced Velcro 15 are respectively arranged at different positions of the connecting sleeve 1. When the device is wrapped around the patient's ankle joint, the two types of Velcro can be quickly and firmly bonded together to form a tight closed structure. When the connecting sleeve 1 is firmly wrapped around the ankle joint through the Velcro system, the cold compress bag 6 is effectively fixed to the key part of the ankle joint. In this way, the cold compress bag 6 can maintain close contact with the skin, reducing the occurrence of a weakening of the cold compress effect due to movement or loosening of the device during treatment.
[0034] In this embodiment, a plurality of ventilation holes 17 are provided on the surface of the foot cover 2. The provision of the ventilation holes 17 improves the comfort of the subsequent patient wearing the foot cover 2.
[0035] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any structural changes made under the guidance of the present invention should be understood by anyone. Any technical solution that is the same or similar to the present invention falls within the scope of protection of the present invention. The technology, shape, and structure not described in detail in the present invention are all known technologies.
