Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a body temperature nursing instrument, in particular to a body temperature nursing instrument capable of sensing patient body temperature in real time, preliminarily judging fever state, giving data feedback and corresponding nursing treatment suggestions and assistance. BACKGROUND

[0002] Fever is a self-immune protection mechanism of the human body. Mild fever can reduce virus replication through various mechanisms. However, when fever occurs, in order to reset the original constant temperature of the hypothalamus, heat production mechanisms such as vasoconstriction and reduction of body surface area are used to raise body temperature. However, when the core body temperature reaches a certain height, heat dissipation mechanisms are used to lower the body temperature. The characteristics of fever are that the body temperature rises after shivering, and then the body temperature drops due to sweating, so the body's heat dissipation and heat production are constantly adjusted during fever, thereby achieving the effect of protecting the body. Therefore, fever causes the body to constantly reset the body temperature, which also causes the patient to feel uncomfortable continuously, and the nursing staff needs to repeatedly check the body temperature, consciousness, and comfort of the patient.

[0003] The main methods of fever treatment include the following three methods, namely physical fever reduction method, intravenous infusion and oral hydration and drug fever reduction method, but the above methods all require frequent care by nursing staff, such as repeated measurement of vital signs, a large amount of data feedback, assistance in giving nursing treatment, use of intravenous infusion and administration of fever-reducing drugs, etc. In addition, family members of patients with fever will feel anxious due to concern for the patient's condition and constantly seek help from nursing staff, indirectly affecting the time of nursing staff to perform routine treatment.

[0004] However, the existing nursing staff is limited in manpower. Therefore, when the patient repeatedly has a fever, the nursing staff needs to spend a long time and effort to assist the patient in maintaining comfort and giving corresponding nursing measures for the fever period, which will bring more work burden to the nursing staff and aggravate the existing manpower shortage.

[0005] Therefore, reducing the work burden of nursing staff during cold and hot care of patients with fever is the direction that relevant industries can strive for. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

[0006] The main purpose of the present application is to solve the problem that nursing staff needs to spend a long time and effort to care for patients who repeatedly have a fever.

[0007] To achieve the above object, according to an embodiment of the present application, a body temperature nursing instrument is provided, which comprises a spacer layer, a heating layer, a cooling layer and a temperature sensing patch. The spacer layer has a control device, which comprises a microprocessor, a temperature sensor and a wireless communication unit electrically connected. The wireless communication unit is used to transmit patient body temperature information to a smart device; the heating layer is arranged on one side of the spacer layer, and the heating layer has an electric heating component electrically connected with the microprocessor and the temperature sensor; the cooling layer is arranged on the other side of the spacer layer, and the cooling layer has a heat dissipation unit; and the temperature sensing patch is electrically connected with the microprocessor and the temperature sensor.

[0008] Through the above, the body temperature nursing instrument of the present application has an intelligent body temperature management system. The temperature sensing patch can detect the body temperature of a patient in real time and send a notification to nursing personnel or family members through the wireless communication unit. The body temperature nursing instrument can provide heating or cooling functions by turning over according to the needs of a patient, so as to reduce the work burden of nursing personnel in caring for a patient with a fever.

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0018] It should be noted that all directionality indications in the embodiments of the present application are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement between components in a certain posture, and if the certain posture changes, the directionality indications also change accordingly.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The present application provides a body temperature nursing instrument, which can reduce invasive treatment and has functions of body temperature sensing, preliminary judgment of fever state, data feedback and corresponding nursing treatment. The body temperature nursing instrument comprises a spacer layer 10, a heating layer 20, a cooling layer 30 and a temperature sensing patch 40. The spacer layer 10 is located between the heating layer 20 and the cooling layer 30. One of the functions of the spacer layer 10 is to prevent excessive heat conduction to the adjacent layer during heating or cooling, thereby protecting the user and improving energy use efficiency.

[0020] The spacer layer 10 has a control device 11. The spacer layer 10 is a multi-filament structure wrapped with polyamide and platinum wire. Polyamide (such as nylon) is a common polymer material with good insulation and certain thermal insulation performance. Due to the low thermal conductivity of the polyamide material itself, the spacer layer 10 can effectively reduce heat transfer, thereby playing a role in thermal insulation. The platinum wire has good thermal conductivity and can assist the temperature regulation process to ensure uniform distribution of heat on the spacer layer 10, but since the platinum wire is wrapped with polyamide, the thermal conductivity of the platinum wire towards the polyamide is limited. In addition, there are a large number of air gaps in the above-mentioned multi-filament structure, and air itself is an excellent thermal insulation material, so the air gap can effectively reduce heat transfer through the spacer layer 10, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of the spacer layer 10.

[0021] The control device 11 comprises a microprocessor 111, a temperature sensor 112 and a wireless communication unit 113 electrically connected. The wireless communication unit 113 is used to transmit patient temperature information to a smart device 1 to realize wireless data exchange with other electronic devices. The wireless communication unit 113 can perform data transmission through Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, etc. The smart device 1 can be a central system of a nursing station, a mobile phone, a computer, a tablet, an electronic watch, etc. The temperature sensor 112 is a thermocouple, a thermistor or a digital temperature sensor, etc.

[0022] The heating layer 20 is arranged on one side of the spacer layer 10. The heating layer 20 has an electric heating component 21. The electric heating component 21 is electrically connected with the microprocessor 111 and the temperature sensor 112 for controlling and monitoring the heating process. Specifically, the electric heating component 21 is made of a mixed yarn material which is mixed with stainless steel wire and silver-coated polyester yarn. The mixed yarn material has good thermal conductivity and softness, so that the electric heating component 21 can uniformly conduct heat. Moreover, the mixed yarn material has flexibility, so that the electric heating component 21 can better fit the patient's skin and increase comfort. More importantly, the silver-coated polyester yarn improves the electrical conductivity of the material, ensuring that the electric heating component 21 can operate stably at low voltage, thereby preventing the risk of electric shock to the patient. Therefore, the electric heating component 21 not only can provide stable heating effect, but also has high safety, which can effectively prevent the risk of electric shock to the patient.

[0023] In the above, the heating temperature of the electric heating component 21 is up to 40℃. The heating temperature of the electric heating component 21 can be 30℃, 31.5℃, 32℃, 32.5℃, 33℃, 33.5℃, 34℃, 34.5℃, 35℃, 35.5℃, 36℃, 36.5℃, 37℃, 37.5℃, 38℃, 38.5℃, 39℃, 39.5℃ or 40℃.

[0024] The cooling layer 30 is arranged on the other side of the spacer layer 10. The cooling layer 30 has a heat dissipation unit 31. The heat dissipation unit 31 is a cooling gel.

[0025] The temperature-sensitive patch 40 is electrically connected with the temperature sensor 112.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 in combination with Figures 1 to 3 , the temperature-sensitive patch 40 is first attached to the patient's forehead to monitor the patient's forehead temperature. When the patient's forehead temperature changes, it is detected by the temperature-sensitive patch 40 and transmitted to the temperature sensor 112. The temperature sensor 112 converts the temperature signal into an electrical signal, and then transmits the data of the electrical signal to the microprocessor 111. The microprocessor 111 analyzes the data to determine the patient's fever period.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figures 1 to 3If the patient is in the chills stage (initial stage) of fever, the microprocessor 111 will communicate with the smart device 1 through the wireless communication unit 113, suggesting that the body temperature care instrument be flipped to the heating layer 20 to attach to the patient and heat the patient through the electric heating assembly 21. When the external heat source increases the temperature of the patient's body surface, the patient will reduce the chills reaction and reduce muscle activity, thereby reducing the generation of endogenous heat. In addition, heating can also promote blood circulation in the patient, enabling blood to more effectively transfer heat to the whole body, thereby more quickly balancing the body temperature and promoting heat dissipation.

[0028] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 and with Figures 1 to 3 If the patient is detected to be in the high temperature stage (sustained stage) of fever, the microprocessor 111 will communicate with the smart device 1 through the wireless communication unit 113, suggesting that the body temperature care instrument be flipped to the cooling layer 30 to attach to the patient and physically cool the patient through the heat dissipation unit 31, increasing the heat dissipation of the patient's body surface, cooling the skin and blood, and promoting the patient's body temperature to return to normal.

[0029] Through real-time monitoring of the temperature-sensitive patch 40 and real-time feedback information of the microprocessor 111, remote patient status feedback is achieved, enabling doctors and primary nurses to understand the patient's condition in the first time. Not only can this reduce the back-and-forth running and frequent measurement of return data by medical staff under limited manpower, but it can also inform family members of the patient's current body temperature and the preliminary treatment provided by the instrument, alleviating the fear of the patient's fever in family members and reducing the tension of caregivers.

[0030] The advantages of the technical solution of the present application with the above structure are as follows:

[0031] 1. Reducing the work burden of nursing staff: Through the automatic monitoring of the temperature-sensitive patch 40 of the present application, nursing staff can significantly reduce the continuous manual detection of the patient's body temperature, reducing the energy consumption and workload of nursing staff for body temperature management.

[0032] 2. Providing flexible body temperature adjustment: The present application allows flexible adjustment in different stages of fever (such as the chills stage and the high temperature stage). By flipping the heating layer 20 or the cooling layer 30 of the body temperature care instrument, appropriate heating or cooling can be provided according to the specific needs of the patient, achieving comprehensive body temperature management.

[0033] 3. Real-time information transmission: The wireless communication unit 113 of the body temperature care instrument can transmit body temperature data to medical staff or family members in real time. This enables medical workers and family members to timely grasp the body temperature condition of the patient and quickly make corresponding treatment when necessary, improving the timeliness and effectiveness of patient care.

[0034] Finally, it should be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely exemplary of the principles of the application. Other embodiments can fall within the scope of the application. Thus, although the application has been described with respect to example embodiments, it will be recognized that the scope of the application encompasses alternatives and modifications thereof. Accordingly, the embodiments of the application are not limited to the explicit descriptions and examples described herein.
