Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically relating to a protective device for an electrocardiogram monitor. Background Technology

[0002] Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors are essential devices in clinical medicine, used to monitor patients' vital signs such as electrocardiogram (ECG), respiration, and blood oxygen saturation in real time. In daily use, ECG monitors are usually placed on a mobile cart or table next to the patient's bed and connected to electrodes attached to the patient's body via multiple leads.

[0003] The following risks may arise during the use of electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors:

[0004] 1. The lead wire needs to move and bend frequently with the patient's slight movements, which inevitably leads to friction and scratches with the bed edge, table, or other equipment, causing the insulation to wear, age, or even break the inner core, thus affecting signal quality and shortening its service life.

[0005] 2. The environment around the hospital bed is complex, and accidents such as water cups being overturned and disinfectant being splashed occur frequently. If liquid seeps into the main unit or lead wire interface of the electrocardiogram monitor, it can easily cause equipment failure, thus posing a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0006] Based on the aforementioned shortcomings in the background technology, the technical problem this utility model aims to solve is: how to provide a protective device to simultaneously address the risks of physical wear and liquid splashes faced by electrocardiogram (ECG) monitors and their leads during use, carrying, and storage. Furthermore, this utility model also addresses a derivative problem: how to effectively prevent overheating of the ECG monitor during operation due to poor heat dissipation while providing near-enclosed protection, thereby ensuring stable operation and extending the device's lifespan.

[0007] The present invention specifically adopts the following solution:

[0008] A protective device for an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor includes: a flexible sleeve comprising an integrally connected cover and a sleeve pocket, which form a protective cavity when closed, for housing the ECG monitor; a flexible cable reel integrally connected to the flexible sleeve, having a cable wrapping channel extending through it, which communicates with the protective cavity and is used to house the ECG monitor's leads; and a heat dissipation window comprising an air inlet window and an air outlet window, located on the outer wall of the sleeve pocket, which communicates with the protective cavity, allowing airflow within the protective cavity to move to the outside of the flexible sleeve through the heat dissipation channel when the ECG monitor is in operation.

[0009] Furthermore, the cover has a first connecting end, and the pocket has a second connecting end. When the first connecting end is pressed against the second connecting end, the cover and the pocket are closed.

[0010] Furthermore, the first connecting end is provided with an elastic strip, and the second connecting end is provided with a groove; during the movement of the first connecting end to the second connecting end, the elastic strip deforms elastically and embeds into the groove, so that the cover and the pocket remain in a closed state.

[0011] Furthermore, the end of the flexible tube away from the flexible sleeve is provided with an elastic opening. When the lead wire extends through the elastic opening, it expands the elastic opening. Under its own elasticity, the elastic opening closes and presses against the outer wall of the lead wire.

[0012] Furthermore, the heat dissipation window includes an exhaust window, which is connected to an exhaust fan. When the exhaust fan is working, the airflow inside the protective cavity moves outward through the exhaust window.

[0013] Furthermore, the sleeve is connected to a base, and the end of the base away from the sleeve is provided with several legs. When the flexible sleeve is placed on a plane, an air intake space is formed between the base and the plane.

[0014] Furthermore, the heat dissipation window includes an air intake window that runs through the base and the sleeve. The air intake window is connected to an air intake fan. When the air intake fan is working, the airflow outside the flexible sleeve enters the protective cavity through the air intake window.

[0015] Furthermore, the heat dissipation window is equipped with a ventilation grille, the exhaust fan in the exhaust window is located between the ventilation grille and the protective cavity, and the air intake fan in the air intake window is located between the ventilation grille and the protective cavity.

[0016] Furthermore, the flexible sleeve is connected to a power supply module, including a battery installed inside the protective cavity and a power cord installed outside the sleeve. The battery and the power cord are electrically connected, and the battery is electrically connected to the exhaust fan and the intake fan respectively through wires. When the power cord is connected to the power source, it supplies power to the battery.

[0017] Furthermore, a ventilation switch is provided on the outer wall of the flexible sleeve. The ventilation switch is electrically connected to the power supply module through a wire. When the ventilation switch is turned on, the intake fan and exhaust fan work simultaneously to dissipate the heat generated by the ECG monitor during operation to the outside of the flexible sleeve by changing the airflow in the protective cavity.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. This utility model features a flexible sleeve with a protective cavity and a flexible spool with a wire wrapping channel. By wrapping the ECG monitor and its leads, it effectively avoids direct impacts and scratches during transportation and clinical use, reducing the risk of damage to the leads due to bending and friction. The flexible sleeve and flexible spool also effectively prevent accidental liquid spills from contacting the ECG monitor or lead interface, effectively reducing the probability of short circuits caused by liquid ingress, thereby improving the safety of the ECG monitor.

[0020] 2. This utility model is equipped with a base, an exhaust fan, and an intake fan. The intake fan is set on the base. When the flexible sleeve covering the ECG monitor is placed on a mobile trolley or table, the airflow enters the protective cavity through the bottom of the base. The exhaust fan is set on other outer walls of the flexible sleeve. The exhaust fan can dissipate the heat generated by the ECG monitor in a timely manner, while preventing accidentally splashed liquid from entering the protective cavity through the exhaust window. In addition to preventing heat accumulation, it further enhances the safety of the ECG monitor. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of this utility model are clearly and completely described below through specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] A protective device for an electrocardiogram monitor, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, it includes: a flexible sleeve 1, comprising an integrally connected cover 11 and a sleeve pocket 12, which form a protective cavity 13 when closed, for housing an electrocardiogram monitor; a flexible cable reel 2, integrally connected to the flexible sleeve 1, with a cable wrapping channel 21 extending through it, which communicates with the protective cavity 13, for housing the lead wires of the electrocardiogram monitor; and a heat dissipation window 3, located on the outer wall of the sleeve pocket 12, which communicates with the protective cavity 13, allowing airflow within the protective cavity 13 to move to the outside of the flexible sleeve 1 when the electrocardiogram monitor is in operation.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the cover 11 has a first connecting end 111, and the pocket 12 has a second connecting end 121. When the first connecting end 111 is pressed against the second connecting end 121, the cover 11 and the pocket 12 are closed.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-8As shown, the first connecting end 111 is provided with an elastic strip 112, and the second connecting end 121 is provided with a groove 122. The length of the elastic strip 112 is the same as the length of the groove 122. During the movement of the first connecting end 111 to the second connecting end 121, the elastic strip 112 elastically deforms and embeds into the groove 122, so that the cover 11 and the pocket 12 are kept in a closed state. During the process of entering the groove 122, the elastic strip 112 undergoes an elastic deformation process. After the elastic strip 112 enters the groove 122, it abuts against the inner wall of the groove 122, thereby forming a sealing layer between the first connecting end 111 and the second connecting end 121 to prevent dust or liquid from entering the protective cavity 13 from between the first connecting end 111 and the second connecting end 121.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the flexible tube 2 has an elastic opening 22 at the end opposite to the flexible sleeve 1. When the lead wire extends through the elastic opening 22, it expands the elastic opening 22. Under its own elasticity, the elastic opening 22 closes and presses against the outer wall of the lead wire. The elastic opening 22 is a tightening structure with an adjustable diameter, specifically an elastic rubber ring, which is used to adaptively constrain different numbers of lead wires and prevent dust or liquid from entering the protective cavity 13 through the elastic opening 22.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the heat dissipation window 3 includes an exhaust window 31, which is connected to an exhaust fan 311. When the exhaust fan 311 is working, the airflow inside the protective cavity 13 moves outward through the exhaust window 31. The heat dissipation window 3 also includes an air inlet window 32, which passes through the base 14 and the sleeve 12. The air inlet window 32 is connected to an air inlet fan 321. When the air inlet fan 321 is working, the airflow outside the flexible sleeve 1 enters the protective cavity 13 through the air inlet window 32.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the sleeve 12 is connected to the base 14. Several support legs 141 are provided at the end of the base 14 away from the sleeve 12. When the flexible sleeve 1 is placed on a plane, an air intake space 142 is formed between the base 14 and the plane. When the flexible sleeve 1 covering the ECG monitor is placed on a mobile trolley or table, airflow enters the protective cavity 13 through the bottom of the base 14. The exhaust fan 311 is provided on the other outer walls of the flexible sleeve 1. The exhaust fan 311 can dissipate the heat generated by the ECG monitor in a timely manner, while preventing accidentally splashed liquid from entering the protective cavity 13 through the exhaust window 31. This not only prevents heat accumulation but also further enhances the safety of using the ECG monitor.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-8As shown, the heat dissipation window 3 is equipped with a ventilation grille 34, and the exhaust fan 311 in the exhaust window 31 is positioned between the ventilation grille 34 and the protective cavity 13. The intake fan 321 in the intake window 32 is positioned between the ventilation grille 34 and the protective cavity 13. The ventilation grille 34 is made of metal or plastic, and its surface is evenly distributed with elliptical, circular, or rectangular ventilation holes, thus achieving ventilation while filtering dust. Furthermore, it effectively reduces the probability of splashed liquid entering the protective cavity 13.

[0039] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, the flexible sleeve 1 is connected to a power supply module 4, including a battery 41 disposed inside the protective cavity 13 and a power cord 42 disposed outside the sleeve 12. When the power cord 42 is connected to a power source, it supplies power to the battery 41. The battery 41 is electrically connected to the power cord 42, and the battery 41 is electrically connected to the exhaust fan 311 and the intake fan 321 respectively through wires 33. When the exhaust fan 311 and the intake fan 321 are activated, they form an airflow channel in the protective cavity 13 from the intake window 32 to the exhaust window 31. The heat generated by the working ECG monitor enters the protective cavity 13 and heats the air inside the protective cavity 13. By setting up the intake fan 321 and the exhaust fan 311, the air exchange speed inside and outside the protective cavity 13 is greatly improved, so as to prevent poor heat dissipation inside the protective cavity 13 and the ECG monitor from overheating. The intake fan 321 and the exhaust fan 311 are driven by a brushless motor. The brushless motor is electrically connected to the battery 41 through the wire 33. When the ventilation switch 43 is turned on, the intake fan 321 and the exhaust fan 311 run simultaneously. When the ventilation switch 43 is turned off, the intake fan 321 and the exhaust fan 311 stop running simultaneously.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1-8 As shown, a ventilation switch 43 is provided on the outer wall of the flexible sleeve 1. The ventilation switch 43 is electrically connected to the power supply module 4 through a wire 33. When the ventilation switch 43 is opened, the intake fan 321 and the exhaust fan 311 work simultaneously to dissipate the heat generated by the ECG monitor during operation to the outside of the flexible sleeve 1 by changing the airflow in the protective cavity 13.
