[0030] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0032] Furthermore, the terms “first,” “second,” and “third” are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a temperature-controlled blanket, which includes a temperature control host 1, a blanket pad 2, and a circulation pipe 9; a portion of the circulation pipe 9 is connected to the blanket pad 2 for changing the output temperature of the blanket pad 2; the other portion of the circulation pipe 9 is connected to the temperature control host 1, and the temperature control host 1 can control the output temperature of the blanket pad 2 through the circulation pipe 9.

[0035] In this embodiment, the temperature control host 1 controls the circulation time and circulation speed of the heat-conducting medium in the circulation pipe 9, thereby achieving control over the output temperature of the blanket pad 2.

[0036] In this embodiment, the circulation pipe 9 is a flexible tube that is wrapped inside the blanket pad 2 or placed below the blanket pad 2. This makes it easy to control the output temperature of the blanket pad 2 and avoids direct contact between the circulation pipe 9 and the human body, thus improving the comfort of use.

[0037] In this embodiment, the circulation pipe 9 can be a round pipe or a flat pipe.

[0038] More specifically, in this embodiment, the circulation pipe 9 is arranged in a serpentine pattern on the blanket pad 2.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature control host 1 includes a heat exchange component, a circulation pump, a controller, and a temperature sensor; the controller is connected to the circulation pump and the temperature sensor respectively; the temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the blanket pad 2; the heat exchange component and the circulation pump are both installed on the circulation pipeline 9.

[0040] In this embodiment, the heat exchange component is used to exchange heat with the heat-conducting medium in the circulation pipeline 9, and the heat-conducting medium then exchanges heat with the blanket pad 2. By cooperating with the temperature sensor, the output temperature of the blanket pad 2 can be controlled.

[0041] In this embodiment, the circulation pump is connected to the circulation pipeline 9, and the controller controls the circulation pump to drive the heat transfer medium in the circulation pipeline 9 to circulate, thereby controlling the output temperature of the blanket pad 2.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, one part of the heat exchange component is a temperature control component, and the other part is a temperature conduction component. The temperature conduction component is connected to the circulation pipeline 9. The output temperature of the temperature control component can be changed to transfer the temperature to the temperature conduction component. After the temperature of the heat transfer medium in the temperature conduction component changes, the heat transfer medium flows in the circulation pipeline 9 under the action of the circulation pump. When it comes into contact with the blanket 2, it exchanges heat with the blanket 2, thereby realizing the control of the temperature of the blanket 2.

[0043] In this embodiment, a temperature sensor is connected to the blanket pad 2 to monitor the output temperature of the blanket pad 2 and transmits the detected temperature information to the controller for real-time feedback of the temperature of the blanket pad 2.

[0044] More specifically, in this embodiment, when the blanket pad 2 needs to output a higher temperature to warm the patient, the temperature sensor can ensure that the heat exchange of the blanket pad 2 is turned off in time when the temperature of the blanket pad 2 reaches the upper limit of the set temperature to avoid burns to the patient, or the heat exchange of the blanket pad 2 can be turned on automatically when the temperature of the blanket pad 2 reaches the lower limit of the set temperature.

[0045] The above settings ensure that the blanket pad 2 is kept at a constant temperature, thereby guaranteeing the effectiveness of the treatment for the patient.

[0046] Understandably, the function of automatically turning on when the output temperature of the blanket pad 2 reaches the lower limit can be freely set; it can be turned on or off, meaning it will not automatically turn on when the output temperature reaches the lower limit.

[0047] In this embodiment, when the blanket pad 2 needs to output a lower temperature to cool the patient, the temperature sensor can ensure that the heat exchange of the blanket pad 2 is turned off in time when the output temperature of the blanket pad 2 reaches the lower limit of the set temperature, or can automatically turn on the heat exchange of the blanket pad 2 when the output temperature of the blanket pad 2 reaches the upper limit of the set temperature.

[0048] Similarly, the function of automatically turning on when the output temperature of the blanket pad 2 reaches the upper limit can be freely set. It can be turned on or off, meaning it will not automatically turn on when the output temperature reaches the upper limit.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature control host 1 further includes a display device, which is signal-connected to the controller and used to display the real-time temperature of the blanket 2.

[0050] In this embodiment, a display device is provided on the temperature control host 1 to display the output temperature of the blanket 2 monitored in real time by the temperature sensor.

[0051] In this description, the display device can be a touch device or a standalone display device, in which case an input device needs to be connected to the controller.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature-controlled blanket further includes an insulation layer 4, which is disposed on the underside of the blanket pad 2 to prevent heat exchange between the blanket pad 2 and the mattress 3.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the insulation layer 4, the circulation pipe 9, and the blanket 2 are arranged sequentially from bottom to top.

[0054] This setup avoids heat exchange between the heat in the circulation pipe 9 and the sheet under the blanket 2, reducing energy consumption and improving the heating or cooling efficiency of the blanket 2.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, the circulation pipeline 9 is connected to the circulation branch 10, and the circulation branch 10 is connected to the ice cap 5, blanket 7 and / or gloves 8.

[0056] In this embodiment, a circulation branch 10 is connected to the circulation pipeline 9, and an ice cap 5 is installed on the circulation branch 10. When the patient needs physical cooling, the ice cap 5 and the blanket pad 2 can be used to cool down the patient at the same time, so as to achieve the effect of rapid cooling of the patient.

[0057] Specifically, in this embodiment, a quick-connect interface is provided on the circulation pipe 9. When it is necessary to connect the ice cap 5, one end of the circulation branch 10 connected to the ice cap 5 is directly inserted into the interface, so that the heat-conducting medium in the circulation pipe 9 can also circulate in the ice cap 5 through the circulation branch 10, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the patient's head through the ice cap 5.

[0058] In this embodiment, a blanket 7 can also be connected to the circulation branch 10 and placed over the body when needed to increase the cooling or warming effect on the patient.

[0059] Similarly, gloves 8 can be added to the circulation branch 10, so that the patient's hands can be quickly cooled or heated after wearing the gloves 8.

[0060] It is understandable that the structures that enable rapid cooling or warming can be one of the types mentioned above, but they are not limited to these types. Other similar structures are also possible, as long as they can increase the efficiency of lowering or raising the patient's body temperature.

[0061] In this embodiment, multiple quick-connect interfaces can be provided on the circulation pipeline 9, which can connect multiple circulation branches 10, thereby allowing different types of structures to be connected simultaneously, such as ice caps 5 and gloves 8.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment, a temperature control switch is provided on the circulation branch 10.

[0063] In this embodiment, a temperature control switch is provided on the circulation branch 10, which can keep the ice cap 5, blanket 7 or glove 8 connected to the circulation branch 10 connected to the circulation pipeline 9. The temperature control switch can be turned on or off as needed to achieve the corresponding cooling or heating functions.

[0064] In a preferred embodiment, the temperature control host 1 is also provided with an additional interface.

[0065] In this embodiment, multiple additional interfaces can be provided on the temperature control host 1, such as an alarm interface, a projector interface, etc.

[0066] Secondly, this utility model also provides a mattress 3, which includes a mattress body and a temperature-controlled blanket as described in any of the above claims; the blanket pad 2 of the temperature-controlled blanket is fixed on the mattress body.

[0067] In this embodiment, the temperature-controlled blanket pad 2 is directly fixed on the mattress body 3, eliminating the need for repeated movement of the temperature-controlled blanket and preventing the blanket from sliding due to the patient's turning over, which would affect the effectiveness of use.

[0068] In a preferred embodiment, the connection between the blanket pad 2 and the pad body is achieved by heat sealing, adhesive bonding, zipper connection, or strap connection.

[0069] In this embodiment, the blanket pad 2 is directly fixed to the upper side of the mattress body 3 by heat sealing, which can effectively ensure that the blanket pad 2 will not be affected by the patient's turning over or other movements.

[0070] In this embodiment, the connection between the blanket pad 2 and the pad body can be heat-sealed, but it is not limited to heat-sealing. Other methods such as bonding, zippers, and straps can also be used for fixed connection, as long as the blanket pad 2 can be fixedly set on the pad body.

[0071] In a preferred embodiment, the mattress 3 further includes a mattress cover 6, with both the mattress body and the temperature-controlled blanket disposed within the mattress cover 6.

[0072] In this embodiment, a mattress cover 6 is provided on the mattress 3, which can cover both the mattress body and the temperature-controlled blanket inside the mattress cover 6, avoiding the influence of the external environment on the blanket 2, and improving the use environment and service life of the blanket 2.

[0073] The temperature-controlled blanket provided by this utility model is not limited to medical devices. It can also be used in daily life, such as as a cooling blanket in summer and as an electric blanket in winter. It can replace the use of air conditioners and other equipment to a certain extent, reduce energy consumption, and further increase the applicability of the temperature-controlled blanket.

[0074] The temperature-controlled blanket and mattress 3 provided by this utility model control the temperature of the medium in the circulation pipe 9 through the temperature control host 1, so that the temperature of the circulation pipe 9 can be transferred to the blanket 2, thereby realizing temperature control of the blanket 2. When heating or cooling is required, it can respond instantly and achieve temperature controllability.
