Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical equipment, in particular to a head cover for thermal treatment of intracranial tumors. Background Art

[0002] Clinical treatments for intracranial tumors primarily rely on surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy. However, these treatments can lead to local recurrences shortly after surgery, are costly, and cause significant pain for patients. Hyperthermia therapy for tumors has matured and is being increasingly applied in areas such as tumor rehabilitation. Hyperthermia can be combined with temozolomide chemotherapy to treat glioblastoma, and some methods, such as magnetic thermosensitive liposomes, combine the two treatments.

[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] This embodiment provides a head cover for thermal treatment of intracranial tumors. Figure 1-5 As shown, the thermotherapy head cover includes a rotating structure 4 fixedly arranged on the end surface of the bed plate 1, a thermotherapy head cover 2 is fixedly mounted on the rotating structure 4, a support structure 3 is mounted on the inner wall of the thermotherapy head cover 2, and a headrest 5 is mounted on the support structure 3;

[0024] The support structure 3 includes a support plate 31 fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the bed board 1. The support plate 31 is rotatably connected to a bidirectional screw rod 32 through a bearing. A worm gear 33 is provided at one end of the bidirectional screw rod 32. The support plate 31 is rotatably connected to a worm 34 through a bearing. The left and right sides of the bidirectional screw rod 32 are connected to vertical plates 35 through threads. An arc plate 36 is installed at the upper end of the vertical plate 35.

[0025] When in use, the knob 341 is rotated forward or reverse, and the knob 341 drives the worm 34 to rotate. The worm 34 engages with the worm gear 33 and drives the worm gear 33 to rotate. The worm gear 33 synchronously drives the bidirectional screw 32 forward or reverse on the support plate 31, and the bidirectional screw 32 drives the vertical plates 35 on both sides to move synchronously closer or farther away. The vertical plates 35 drive the curved plates 36 to move, thereby adjusting the distance between the two curved plates 36. The two curved plates 36 can be effectively adjusted and fixed according to the size of the patient's head until the two curved plates 36 are wrapped around the patient's cheeks on both sides to ensure that the patient's head is in the correct position, effectively avoiding the problem that the patient cannot control and adjust the head by himself when treating patients with blurred consciousness with the existing intracranial tumor thermal therapy head cover, and cannot be effectively fixed according to the size of the patient's head, thereby improving the therapeutic effect of the thermal therapy head cover 2 on the patient.

[0026] In this embodiment, two symmetrically arranged columns 311 are installed at the bottom of the support plate 31. A slide groove 312 and a mounting groove 313 are formed on the support plate 31. The other ends of the columns 311 are connected to the inner wall of the thermotherapy head cover 2. The end of the worm 34 away from the worm gear 33 extends to the outside of the support plate 31 and is fixedly mounted with a knob 341.

[0027] Among them, the support plate 31 is provided with a slide groove 312 and a mounting groove 313, so that the bidirectional screw rod 32, the vertical plate 35, the worm 34 and the worm 34 can be installed to achieve effective support for the patient's head;

[0028] In this embodiment, a cushion 361 is installed on the inner wall of the curved plate 36, and a plurality of ventilation holes 362 are correspondingly opened on the curved plate 36 and the cushion 361;

[0029] Among them, a soft pad 361 is installed on the inner wall of the curved plate 36, and the curved plate 36 contacts the patient's cheek through the soft pad 361, which can improve the patient's comfort during treatment; a number of air holes 362 are correspondingly opened on the curved plate 36 and the soft pad 361 to increase the air permeability and prevent the patient's cheek from being heated and causing discomfort.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Unlike Example 1, the conventional intracranial tumor thermotherapy hood cannot accommodate patients lying on their side during long-term treatment, resulting in poor flexibility in the use of the hood. To this end, the rotating structure 4 includes a fixed plate 41, which is rotatably mounted on a support shaft 42 via a bearing. The rotating structure 4 also includes an internal gear ring 43 fixedly mounted on the back of the thermotherapy hood 2. A motor 44 is mounted on the fixed plate 41 via bolts, and a gear 45 is provided at the driving end of the support shaft 42.

[0032] When in use, when the patient turns over and lies on his side, the motor 44 is started to rotate through the control panel. The motor 44 drives the gear 45 to rotate through the gear 45. The gear 45 is meshed with the inner gear ring 43. The gear 45 drives the inner gear ring 43 to rotate. The inner gear ring 43 drives the thermotherapy hood 2 to rotate. The thermotherapy hood 2 rotates with the patient's head through the support structure 3, so as to cooperate with the patient lying on his side. After the thermotherapy hood 2 moves, the control panel can be controlled to stop the motor 44 to support the head of the patient lying on his side. This avoids the problem that the intracranial tumor thermotherapy hood in the prior art cannot cooperate with the patient lying on his side, thereby improving the flexibility of use of the thermotherapy hood 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, the end of the support shaft 42 away from the fixed plate 41 is connected to the back of the thermotherapy head cover 2. The fixed plate 41 is connected to the end surface of the bed board 1. A movable groove 11 is opened on the bed board 1 and corresponds to the thermotherapy head cover 2. The rotating structure 4 also includes an annular guide rail 46 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the thermotherapy head cover 2 and two support frames 47 symmetrically arranged on the end surface of the bed board 1. The support frames 47 are rotatably connected to rollers 471 via connecting pins.

[0034] Among them, through the cooperation of the annular guide rail 46 and the roller 471, the thermotherapy head cover 2 rotates on the roller 471 with the annular guide rail 46, thereby achieving a stable support effect on the thermotherapy head cover 2 and also improving the load-bearing performance of the thermotherapy head cover 2.

[0035] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
