Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical external application ice pack technology, specifically to a shapeable cold compress and cooling ice pack. Background Technology

[0002] In modern medical care and daily life, cold compresses are widely used as a simple and effective physical therapy to relieve various pain, swelling, and inflammatory symptoms. Traditional cold compress tools, such as ice packs, can meet the needs of cold compresses to some extent, but their lack of convenience, shaping ability, and adaptability to different cold compress areas limits the full realization of the cold compress effect.

[0003] Specifically, most common ice packs on the market have a fixed shape design, making it difficult to fit closely to the contours of different parts of the body. This results in gaps during cooling and affects the efficiency of the cooling effect. At the same time, these ice packs are often limited to water or gel as filling materials. Once frozen, the filling material hardens, making it difficult to reshape and potentially causing discomfort to the user due to excessive pressure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the existing technology, this utility model provides a malleable cooling ice pack.

[0005] A shapeable cooling ice pack includes an ice pack body and granular solutes filled inside the ice pack body; wherein, the ice pack body includes a bottom plate layer, a shaping layer is provided on the top surface of the bottom plate layer, a filling space is formed between the shaping layer and the bottom plate layer, and an inlet and outlet connecting to the filling space is provided on the right side of the bottom plate layer; and a pull rope structure is provided on the left and right edges of the bottom surface of the bottom plate layer.

[0006] In one embodiment, an upwardly extending annular protective element is fixed around the perimeter of the base layer, with the top edge of the annular protective element abutting the outer surface of the shaping layer. The annular protective element is designed to further enhance the structural stability and safety of the ice pack. Specifically, the annular protective element can shield the fixing points between the shaping layer and the base layer, improving the fixing reliability of the shaping layer and thus extending the lifespan of the ice pack. It also acts as an additional barrier, preventing accidental leakage of particulate solutes inside the ice pack during cold compresses, ensuring that the user experience and cold compress effect are not affected. Furthermore, the presence of the annular protective element helps improve the overall aesthetics and professional appearance of the ice pack, making it more suitable for various cold compress needs in medical care and daily life.

[0007] In one embodiment, the edges of the shaping layer are embedded from the top surface of the base layer into the interior of the base layer. This embedded design further enhances the connection strength and stability between the shaping layer and the base layer. By embedding the edges of the shaping layer into the base layer, it is possible to effectively prevent the shaping layer from detaching or shifting during use, thereby ensuring that the ice pack always maintains a tight fit and improving the cooling effect.

[0008] In one embodiment, the pull cord structure includes a locking body fixed to the left or right edge of the bottom surface of the base plate, with an outwardly extending pull cord fixed within the locking body. This pull cord structure provides users with a more convenient and flexible cold compress experience. Specifically, users can easily secure the ice pack near the cold compress area by pulling the pull cord, without needing to hold it directly in their hands or use other auxiliary tools, thus freeing their hands and improving the comfort and convenience of the cold compress process. Simultaneously, the locking body ensures that the pull cord is firmly fixed to the base plate, preventing it from falling off or loosening during use, further enhancing the stability and safety of the ice pack.

[0009] In one embodiment, the shaping layer is made of a deformable material. Using a deformable material allows the ice pack to adapt to the specific shape and size of the area being treated during use, thereby ensuring a close fit between the ice pack and the area being treated and improving the cooling effect.

[0010] In one embodiment, a cap is provided at the inlet / outlet end. The inlet / outlet end is sealed and opened by the cap, which effectively prevents particulate solutes from leaking out of the inlet / outlet, improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly, and thus enhances the user experience.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:

[0012] In this invention, the bottom plate layer, as the basic structural component of the moldable cooling ice pack, provides necessary support for the entire ice pack. This ensures that the ice pack maintains its shape and stability during use, even after the shaping layer deforms according to the shape of the application area. In other words, the presence of the bottom plate layer allows the shaping layer to better maintain its shape under external force, thus helping the ice pack to fit tightly to the cooling area and improve the cooling effect. Furthermore, the inlet / outlet on the right side of the bottom plate layer facilitates the filling and adjustment of the granular solute inside the ice pack. Users can easily add or remove filler as needed to achieve the ideal cooling effect and shaping state. Furthermore, the pull cord structures on the left and right edges of the bottom surface of the bottom plate layer not only help users fix the position of the ice pack during use, preventing it from slipping or shifting, but also improve the portability of the ice pack. Finally, using granular solute as filler results in a lower increase in hardness after freezing compared to traditional water or gel fillers, maintaining a good cooling effect while reducing discomfort caused by excessive pressure, thus improving user comfort.

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0020] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a shapeable cooling ice pack includes an ice pack body and granular solutes filled inside the ice pack body; wherein, the ice pack body includes a bottom plate layer 1, a shaping layer 2 is provided on the top surface of the bottom plate layer 1, a filling space 3 is formed between the shaping layer 2 and the bottom plate layer 1, and an inlet 4 connecting to the filling space 3 is provided on the right side of the bottom plate layer 1; and a pull rope structure 5 is provided on the left and right edges of the bottom surface of the bottom plate layer 1 respectively.

[0023] In this embodiment, it should be noted that in the entire shape-adjustable cooling ice pack, the bottom plate layer 1 serves as the basic structural part of the ice pack, providing necessary support for the entire ice pack. This ensures that the ice pack maintains its shape and stability during use, i.e., after the shaping layer 2 deforms according to the shape of the application area. In other words, the presence of the bottom plate layer 1 allows the shaping layer 2 to better maintain its shape when subjected to external forces, thereby helping the ice pack to fit tightly to the cooling area and improve the cooling effect. Furthermore, the inlet 4 on the right side of the bottom plate layer 1 is for filling and adjusting the granular solute inside the ice pack. It provides convenience, allowing users to easily add or remove filler into the ice pack as needed to achieve the ideal cooling effect and shaping state; furthermore, the pull rope structure 5 set on the left and right edges of the bottom surface of the bottom plate layer 1 not only makes it easy for users to fix the position of the ice pack during use, preventing it from slipping or shifting, but also improves the portability of the ice pack; furthermore, using granular solute as filler, compared with traditional water or gel filler, the degree of increase in hardness after freezing is lower, which maintains a good cooling effect and reduces discomfort caused by excessive pressure, improving the user's comfort.

[0024] The preparation of granular solute can be achieved using 75% ethanol and 0.2% saline solution. The procedure involves mixing 75% ethanol and 0.2% saline solution in a 1:10 ratio, pouring the mixture into a composite bag through the inlet and outlet, sealing the bag, and placing it in a refrigerator at -18°C for 2-3 hours. After freezing, it is ready for use. A 1:10 mixture of 75% ethanol and 0.2% saline solution results in 7.5 ml of ethanol per 100 ml of the mixture, representing a 7.5% concentration. Based on the freezing point depression formula, the freezing point of the mixture is approximately -2.11°C. The freezing point of 75% ethanol is approximately -114°C, significantly lower than the freezing point of the mixture, thus eliminating any freezing point limitation. The freezing point of the 0.2% saline solution is approximately -0.00372°C, having a minimal impact on the freezing point of the mixture. Through repeated experiments, the mixing ratio of 75% ethanol and 0.2% saline solution has been determined to form granular solute when frozen at -18°C for 2-3 hours.

[0025] The granular solute, upon freezing, does not solidify into hard ice blocks but forms soft, granular ice sand. This allows it to be molded into various shapes to fit different treatment areas, solving the problems of ordinary ice packs being difficult to fix, prone to slipping, and unable to make firm contact with the treatment site, thus improving therapeutic efficacy. Tests showed that after applying the entire moldable cooling ice pack for 2 hours at a high fever of 40℃, the ice pack temperature remained between -3℃ and 3℃, significantly better than saline ice packs (3℃ to 5℃). Furthermore, it can be repeatedly frozen and reused, making it economical, reducing medical waste recycling rates, and minimizing environmental pollution, making it an essential item for every household.

[0026] In one embodiment, an upwardly extending annular protective body 6 is fixed around the base plate layer 1, with the top edge of the annular protective body 6 abutting against the outer surface of the shaping layer 2.

[0027] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the design of the annular protective body 6 aims to further enhance the structural stability and safety of the ice pack. Specifically, the annular protective body 6 can shield the fixing points between the shaping layer 2 and the base plate layer 1, improving the fixing reliability of the shaping layer 2 and thus extending the service life of the ice pack. It also acts as an additional barrier, preventing accidental leakage of particulate solutes inside the ice pack during the cooling process, ensuring that the user experience and cooling effect are not affected. Furthermore, the presence of the annular protective body 6 helps to enhance the overall aesthetics and professional look of the ice pack, making it more suitable for various cooling needs in medical care and daily life.

[0028] In one embodiment, the four edges of the shaping layer 2 are embedded from the top surface of the base plate layer 1 into the interior of the base plate layer 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the embedded design further enhances the connection strength and stability between the shaping layer 2 and the base plate layer 1. By embedding the edge of the shaping layer 2 into the base plate layer 1, it is possible to effectively prevent the shaping layer 2 from falling off or shifting during use, thereby ensuring that the ice pack can always maintain a tight fit and improve the cooling effect.

[0030] In one embodiment, the pull rope structure 5 includes a locking body 51 fixed to the left or right edge of the bottom surface of the base plate layer 1, and a pull rope body 52 extending outward is fixed inside the locking body 51.

[0031] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the design of the pull rope structure 5 provides users with a more convenient and flexible cold compress experience. Specifically, users can easily fix the ice pack near the cold compress area by pulling the pull rope 52 without having to hold it directly in their hands or use other auxiliary tools, thus freeing their hands and improving the comfort and convenience of the cold compress process. At the same time, the locking body 51 ensures that the pull rope 52 can be firmly fixed to the base plate layer 1, preventing it from falling off or loosening during use, further enhancing the stability and safety of the ice pack.

[0032] In one embodiment, the shaping layer 2 is made of a deformable material.

[0033] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the shaping layer 2 made of deformable material allows the ice pack to adapt to the specific shape and size of the cold compress area during use, thereby ensuring a close fit between the ice pack and the cold compress area and improving the cold compress effect.

[0034] In one embodiment, a cover 7 is provided at the end of the entrance / exit 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the inlet / outlet 4 is sealed and opened by the cap 7, which effectively prevents particulate solutes from leaking out of the inlet / outlet 4, improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly, and thus improves the user experience.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features.
