Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of traditional Chinese medicine external application equipment, specifically a traditional Chinese medicine external application device for the adjunctive treatment of pancreatitis. Background Technology

[0002] The role of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the treatment of pancreatitis is mainly reflected in its multifaceted pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory properties, pancreatic tissue protection, improved microcirculation, and immune function regulation. Through its multi-component, multi-target mechanism of action, TCM can regulate the body's overall functions, providing both auxiliary and synergistic effects in the treatment of pancreatitis. External application of TCM is a traditional method of treatment, applying herbs directly to the affected area to achieve anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and local blood circulation-promoting effects. In the treatment of pancreatitis, external application of TCM can help improve the clinical symptoms of patients, such as reducing pain, promoting gastrointestinal function recovery, and lowering inflammatory factor levels.

[0003] Because the pancreas is located in the abdomen, to facilitate the application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to the affected area, clinical practices include using adjustable TCM external application fixation devices (publication number CN219557750U) and TCM abdominal bags for treating acute pancreatitis (publication number CN213609399U) to fix the TCM pack to the patient's abdomen. Furthermore, to enhance efficacy, these existing technologies also employ heating to promote TCM penetration into the body. However, the effectiveness of this heating method depends on ensuring contact between the abdominal skin and the TCM. Simply tightening the belt around the patient's abdomen can easily cause discomfort, while not tightening it adequately makes it difficult to guarantee the TCM's effectiveness; a trade-off is necessary.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a traditional Chinese medicine external application device for the adjunctive treatment of pancreatitis, including a waist belt 1 wrapped around the waist of a pancreatitis patient. In order to fix the waist belt 1 to the waist of the pancreatitis patient, Velcro a2 is sewn at both ends of the waist belt 1. One Velcro a2 is located on the outside of one end of the waist belt 1, and the other Velcro a2 is located on the inside of the other end of the waist belt 1. When in use, the waist belt 1 is simply wrapped around the waist of the pancreatitis patient, and then the two Velcro a2 at both ends of the waist belt 1 are glued together to achieve a fixed carrying effect. By attaching the two Velcro a2 in different positions, the waist belt 1 can also be fixed to the waist of pancreatitis patients of different thicknesses, thus expanding the range of use.

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 3-5 As shown, a heating and massage component 3 for applying a traditional Chinese medicine pack is provided in the middle of the waist belt 1. The heating and massage component 3 includes an inner pocket 31, which is sewn to the inner side of the middle of the waist belt 1. The top opening of the inner pocket 31 is provided with Velcro b33, which is used to seal the top opening of the inner pocket 31. The inner pocket 31 has multiple through holes 32 for hot gas carrying traditional Chinese medicine to pass through. A heating chamber 34 for placing the heating pack is provided in the middle of the waist belt 1. The top opening of the heating chamber 34 is provided with a zipper 35, which is sewn to the middle of the top of the waist belt 1. In use, the traditional Chinese medicine pack for the auxiliary treatment of pancreatitis is placed inside the inner pocket 31, and the heating pack is placed inside the heating chamber 34. Then, the top opening of the inner pocket 31 is sealed by Velcro b33 to prevent the traditional Chinese medicine pack from falling out of the inner pocket 31. The zipper 35 is then zipped up to seal the top opening of the heating chamber 34 to prevent the heating pack from falling out.

[0033] This invention uses a heating pack to heat the herbal medicine pack and the abdominal skin of a pancreatitis patient, thereby promoting better penetration of the medicine into the skin, dilating capillaries, accelerating blood circulation, and thus improving the therapeutic effect.

[0034] To further enhance the therapeutic effect, this invention combines heating to promote the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine with massage. The structure used to achieve the massage function is as follows: Figure 5As shown, an outer pocket 36 is sewn on the outer side of the middle of the waist belt 1. Multiple airbags a37 are fixed on the inner wall of the outer pocket 36 at equal intervals. Each airbag a37 is connected to a short tube 38 on its front side. The bottom ends of the multiple short tubes 38 are connected to airbags b39. Both airbags a37 and airbags b39 are long strips. An air tube 310 is connected to the middle of the front side of the airbag b39. One end of the air tube 310 is connected to an air cylinder 311. The air cylinder 311 is equipped with a movable piston 312 inside.

[0035] A movable frame 313 is fixed to the top of the piston 312. A lead screw nut is embedded at the end of the movable frame 313 away from the piston 312. A reciprocating lead screw 314 is threaded into the lead screw nut. Figure 3 The reciprocating screw 314 shown has a rotating shaft fixed at its top end, and the top end of the rotating shaft is directly connected to the motor 315. The purpose of this setting is to ensure that the moving distance of the moving frame 313 is the same as the moving distance of the piston 312. The top end of the reciprocating screw 314 is connected to a micro motor 315, which drives the reciprocating screw 314 to rotate.

[0036] The micro motor 315 is provided with a control box 4 at its outer end. The bottom end of the reciprocating screw 314 is movably connected to the inner wall of the control box 4 through a bearing. The air cylinder 311 is located inside the control box 4. A controller 5 for controlling the micro motor 315 is fixed on the front side of the control box 4.

[0037] By using controller 5 to control micro motor 315 to drive reciprocating screw 314 to rotate, the reciprocating screw 314 can drive moving frame 313 to move piston 312 up and down inside air cylinder 311 along the outer wall of reciprocating screw 314. In the above process, piston 312 moves upward to draw gas from inside air bladder a37, and moves downward to inflate air bladder a37. By sequentially inflating and deflating multiple air bladders a37, the multiple inflated air bladders a37 can alternately squeeze the herbal pack against the patient's abdomen, simulating the effect of massage. This massage method can increase local blood flow, which helps the herbal ingredients penetrate the skin and deep tissues more quickly, thereby improving the efficacy. This utility model combines massage and heating, which, compared with the prior art, has a better auxiliary effect on the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine and helps the herbal medicine exert its effect in the treatment of pancreatitis.

[0038] Furthermore, to ensure that multiple airbags (a37) are inflated and deflated sequentially, such as Figure 2 and 6As shown, a short tube box 316 is fixed to the outer end of the short tube 38. The short tube box 316 is fixed to the front side of the outer bag 36. Clamping plates 317 are provided on both sides inside the short tube box 316. The short tube 38 is located between the two clamping plates 317. Multiple springs 318 are fixed on the side of the two clamping plates 317 away from the short tube 38. The other end of the springs 318 is fixed to the inner wall of the short tube box 316. Electromagnets 319 are fixed on both sides inside the short tube box 316.

[0039] In this utility model, the initial setting state of the electromagnet 319 is the de-energized state, the initial state of the spring 318 is the compressed state, and the two clamps 317 at the outer end of the short tube 38 will also move towards the middle under the elastic force of the compressed spring 318, thereby squeezing the short tube 38 between the two clamps 317 to block the flow of gas in the short tube 38.

[0040] When a pancreatitis patient begins using this novel external application of traditional Chinese medicine, the controller 5 will sequentially energize the electromagnets 319 at the outer ends of multiple short tubes 38 from left to right. This allows the electromagnets 319 to attract the iron blocks at the top of the clamps 317 and fix the two clamps 317 to both sides of the short tubes 38. Figure 6 As shown, at this time, the two clamps 317 no longer squeeze the short tube 38, and the gas can flow inside the short tube 38. This utility model achieves the effect of sequentially inflating and deflating multiple airbags a37 by sequentially controlling the opening and closing of multiple short tubes 38.

[0041] Furthermore, an indicator light 320 is fixed in the middle of the front side of the short pipe box 316. When the short pipe box 316 is powered off, the controller 5 controls the indicator light 320 to turn off. When the short pipe box 316 is powered on, the controller 5 controls the indicator light 320 to turn on. The lighting of the indicator light 320 can indicate that the short pipe 38 at that location is in a connected state.

[0042] In addition, it is worth noting that the heating pack used in this utility model can be a common hand warmer, which is readily available and can also improve the convenience of using this utility model.

[0043] The circuit structure for controller 5 to control micro motor 315, electromagnet 319 and indicator light 320 can be implemented by programming in the prior art, so it will not be described in detail in this utility model.

[0044] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
