Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical rehabilitation equipment technology, and in particular to an ice pack device for thyroid care. Background Technology

[0002] With the rising incidence of thyroid diseases, especially in the recovery process after thyroid surgery and in the relief of thyroid inflammation, ice packs are widely used as an effective adjunctive treatment to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and reduce swelling. Therefore, the demand for specialized ice pack devices for the thyroid region is increasing. With technological advancements, these innovative ice pack devices not only precisely meet patients' needs for treatment and comfortable care but also provide entirely new solutions for the rehabilitation of thyroid diseases.

[0003] A search revealed an existing patent (publication number: CN221512422U) that discloses an ice pack device for thyroid care, comprising a strap, a connecting strap, and ear loops. The connecting strap has two sections, which are fixed parallel to each other on both sides of the strap. An ear loop is located at the top of the connecting strap and is vertically fixed parallel to the top of the connecting strap, allowing the patient to hang the ear loop on their ear. The purpose is that, through the ear loop design, the patient can hang the ear loop on their ear while the locking strap is on their neck, forming a triangular support structure with the neck strap. The ear loop provides an upward traction force to the ice pack, preventing it from sagging due to its own weight. This structure allows the strap to fit more closely to the affected area, reducing the likelihood of it slipping off, thus improving the stability of the strap and further enhancing the cold compress effect.

[0004] However, in actual use of the above solution, the ice pack is hung on the ear via ear hook. However, when used for a long time, the ear is a relatively sensitive area, and hanging the ice pack for a long time may cause discomfort or even pain. This is especially true for people with ear problems or ear discomfort, as it will increase the burden on the ear and affect comfort.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides an ice pack device for thyroid care. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that prolonged use of ice packs in the prior art can cause ear discomfort or even pain, especially for people with ear problems or discomfort, as it increases the burden on the ears and affects comfort. Therefore, this invention proposes an ice pack device for thyroid care.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A thyroid care ice pack device includes a support frame, with corresponding first hinge frames fixedly connected to both sides of the support frame.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an ice pack device for thyroid care, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The thyroid care ice pack device described in this utility model supports a massage ring, a cold compress ring, and an ice pack via a support frame. The entire device is then mounted on the patient's shoulder using the support frame. Since the shoulder is located near the neck and closer to the thyroid gland, the ice pack device can more precisely cover the thyroid area. This helps improve treatment effectiveness and relieve thyroid inflammation, pain, or swelling. Furthermore, the shoulder is a more stable and less stressful area; compared to the ear, the device mounted on the shoulder distributes pressure more evenly, avoiding sensitivity and discomfort in the ear area. In addition, the stable position on the shoulder prevents the device from slipping or shifting during activity.

[0016] 2. The thyroid care ice pack device of this utility model, through the cooperation of quick-release bolts, threaded sleeves, a second hinge frame, and a limiting component, allows for adjustment of the relative angle between the massage ring, the cold compress ring, and the support frame. Adjusting the angle to accommodate individual differences in the thyroid region ensures that the ice pack component fits the thyroid area more precisely, providing optimal cold compress effect. This ensures that the cold compress is concentrated around the thyroid, helping to relieve pain, inflammation, or swelling, and making the device more comfortable to use, avoiding pressure or discomfort, and ensuring that it will not cause discomfort even with prolonged use.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example:

[0026] Reference Figure 1-5A thyroid care ice pack device includes a support frame 1. The support frame 1 has corresponding first hinge frames 11 fixedly connected to both sides, supporting and fixing the first hinge frames 11 on both sides. A massage ring 2 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the first hinge frame 11, limiting the massage ring 2. The massage ring 2 allows the device to massage the patient's neck while applying ice, thereby improving the comfort of use and reducing patient discomfort. An ice pack component is provided on the outer side of the massage ring 2, and an angle adjustment component is provided on the inner side of the massage ring 2. The adjustment end of the angle adjustment component is connected to the massage ring 2. A second hinge frame 32 is provided at the bottom end of the angle adjustment component, and a limit component is provided on the outer side of the second hinge frame 32. The limit component's limiting end is connected to the second hinge frame 32.

[0027] The ice pack assembly includes a cold compress ring 21, which is detachably connected to the outer wall of a massage ring 2. The massage ring 2 and the cold compress ring 21 are connected by snap-fit ​​fasteners, allowing for quick installation of the cold compress ring 21 and rapid donning of the device during use. Evenly distributed locking plates 22 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the cold compress ring 21, securing multiple locking plates 22 to the cold compress ring 21. An ice pack 23 is provided on the outer side of the cold compress ring 21, with openings on the inner side of the ice pack 23 corresponding to the positions of the locking plates 22. The slot 24 engages with the locking plate 22. The locking plate 22 on the outside of the cooling ring 21 engages with the corresponding slot 24 on the inside of the ice pack 23, thereby securing the ice pack 23 to the outside of the cooling ring 21. This allows for quick loading and unloading of the ice pack 23. The cooling ring 21 is made of soft composite fiber. By combining aluminum alloy with soft fiber, the cooling ring 21 can provide a more uniform heat conduction effect and enhance comfort when in contact with the skin through the soft material.

[0028] The angle adjustment component includes a quick-release bolt 3, which is rotatably connected to the massage ring 2. The massage ring 2 limits the quick-release bolt 3, allowing it to rotate inside the massage ring 2. A threaded sleeve 31 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the quick-release bolt 3. The threaded sleeve 31 is slidably connected to the massage ring 2. The bottom end of the threaded sleeve 31 is rotatably connected to the second hinge frame 32. The threaded sleeve 31 and the second hinge frame 32 can only swing at the connection point between them and cannot rotate vertically. Thus, the second hinge frame 32 can cooperate with the limiting component to limit the angle of the threaded sleeve 31. Then, the rotation of the quick-release bolt 3 drives the threaded sleeve 31 to extend and retract, thereby adjusting the relative angle between the massage ring 2, the cooling ring 21, and the support frame 1.

[0029] The limiting component includes a slider 33, which is fixedly connected to the second hinge frame 32. A slide rail 34 is slidably connected to the inner side of the slider 33, and the slide rail 34 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1. The support frame 1 supports and fixes the slide rails 34 on both sides, and limits the slider 33. The slider 33 drives the second hinge frame 32 and the bottom end of the threaded sleeve 31 to move laterally on the slide rail 34.

[0030] Springs 35 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the massage ring 2. The other end of the spring 35 is fixedly connected to the support frame 1. The massage ring 2 is pushed to rotate away from the support frame 1 by the spring 35 with the outer wall of the support frame 1 as the stress point. The stability of the device during use can be increased by cooperating with the quick-release bolt 3 and the threaded sleeve 31.

[0031] The outer wall of the support frame 1 is provided with a rubber layer. By providing a rubber layer on the outside of the support frame 1, the friction between the device and the clothing can be increased, and the device position can be prevented from shifting excessively.

[0032] Specifically, when using this thyroid care ice pack device: First, remove the cold compress ring 21 from the massage ring 2. Then, place the support frame 1 and the massage ring 2 on the shoulder. Next, fix the cold compress ring 21 to the massage ring 2 using a buckle. Then, align the inner groove 24 of the ice pack 23 with the outer locking plate 22 of the cold compress ring 21 and lock them together to fix the ice pack 23. The cold compress ring 21 transfers the temperature to the ice pack 23. At the same time, rotate the quick-release bolt 3. Through the interaction between the quick-release bolt 3 and the threaded sleeve 31, the angle between the massage ring 2, the cold compress ring 21, and the support frame 1 can be adjusted so that the cold compress ring 21 can better fit the thyroid gland.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
