Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of orthopedic care, and more particularly to a device for hot and cold compresses in orthopedic care. Background Technology

[0002] Patients can usually relieve acute trauma by applying cold compresses. For example, in the early stages of injury such as bruises or contusions to the legs or arms, ruptured blood vessels can cause swelling and bleeding. Cold compresses can constrict local blood vessels, thus stopping the bleeding, delaying pain, and reducing swelling.

[0003] Once the bleeding from the local blood vessels has stopped, applying heat can help dilate capillaries, promote blood circulation, and relieve muscle tension. Bleeding usually stops 24 hours after the injury, so this treatment should be applied after that time. Heat application can also promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dispel cold, relieve pain, and warm the meridians.

[0004] Currently, medical staff usually use ice packs or hot water bottles to apply cold or hot compresses to the patient's bumps and bruises. This method has the following drawbacks: (1) This process requires medical staff to hold the bottle, which is inefficient. (2) Ice packs or hot water bottles cannot completely cover the injured area, and the effect of cold or hot compresses is not ideal.

[0051] This application provides a device for orthopedic care that can provide both hot and cold compresses. This addresses the technical problems in the prior art where medical staff typically use ice packs or hot water bottles to apply cold or hot compresses to patients' contusions or injuries, resulting in low work efficiency; and where ice packs or hot water bottles cannot completely cover the injured area, leading to unsatisfactory cold or hot compress effects. The following is a detailed explanation... Figures 1-5 The present application describes in detail a device for orthopedic care that can provide both hot and cold compresses.

[0052] Combination Figures 1-5 As shown, the orthopedic nursing device for hot and cold compresses includes a cold compress component 1, a hot compress component 2, an inlet component 3, an outlet component 4, and a chiller.

[0053] Specifically, the cold compress component 1 has a wrapping part 101 that can wrap around the injured area, ensuring that the injured area is completely covered and wrapped. In this way, compared with the localized effect of existing ice packs or hot water bottles, the effective area of ​​heat and cold compress is expanded, resulting in better treatment effect on the injured area. In addition, by wrapping the injured area with the wrapping part 101, it is not necessary to hold it with a hand, thus improving work efficiency.

[0054] Specifically, the inlet end 102 of the winding section 101 is connected to the outlet of the chiller via the inlet component 3, and the outlet end of the winding section 101 is connected to the inlet of the chiller via the outlet component 4. In actual use, the chiller can introduce cold medium into the winding section 101 through the inlet component 3. When the cold medium flows into the winding section 101, since the winding section 101 is in contact with the injured area, the cold medium will exchange heat with the contact area of ​​the winding section 101, thereby achieving cold compress on the injured area.

[0055] Specifically, the hot compress component 2 is detachably connected to the cold compress component 1. After the cold compress is completed, the inlet component 3 and outlet component 4 can be removed from the cold compress component 1, and then the hot compress component 2 can be installed on the winding portion 101. Further, the hot compress component 2 includes a heating part 201 and an energizing part 202. The heating part 201 can be spirally inserted into the winding portion 101 and can seal the inlet end 102 and outlet end of the winding portion 101. The energizing part 202 is electrically connected to the heating part 201 so that the heating part 201 heats the cold medium inside the winding portion 101. After the cold compress is completed, the hot compress can be performed using the above method.

[0056] Specifically, chillers are readily available on the market and are an existing technology, so they will not be discussed further. Additionally, in practical use, a support frame with casters can be used to support the chiller and facilitate its movement.

[0057] In summary, the orthopedic nursing device with hot and cold compress capabilities provided in this application allows medical staff to perform both cold and hot compresses, improving its practicality to a certain extent. Furthermore, the wrapping part 101 can completely cover the injured area, greatly enhancing the effectiveness of either cold or hot compresses. In addition, the wrapping part 101 is wrapped around the injured area without the need for manual support, saving manpower and improving work efficiency.

[0058] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the winding part 101 is a spring water pipe 103; one end of the spring water pipe 103 has an inlet end 102, and the other end opposite to the inlet end 102 has an outlet end.

[0059] Specifically, during the manufacturing process, different models of the spring water pipe 103 can be produced to suit different groups of people.

[0060] It is worth noting that in actual use, the spring water pipe 103 can be wound around the damaged area; or the spring water pipe 103 can be wound into a cylindrical shape and then fitted onto the damaged area.

[0061] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2As shown, the import component 3 includes an inlet conduit 301, an inlet connector 302, and an input quick connector 303.

[0062] Specifically, one end of the water inlet pipe 301 is connected to the inlet end 102 of the spring water pipe 103 via the water inlet connector 302; the other end of the water inlet pipe 301 is connected to the outlet of the chiller via the input quick connector 303.

[0063] In actual use: chilled water is supplied by a chiller, and then flows through the inlet pipe 301, the inlet connector 302 and the inlet end 102 of the spring water pipe 103 in sequence, finally entering the spring water pipe 103.

[0064] In this embodiment, further, combined with Figure 2 The export component 4 includes a return pipe 401, a return quick connector 402, and an installation plug 403.

[0065] Specifically, one end of the return pipe 401 is connected to the outlet end of the spring water pipe 103 via the return quick connector 402; the other end of the return pipe 401 is connected to the inlet of the chiller via the installation plug 403.

[0066] In actual use: when the cold medium in the spring water pipe 103 passes through the damaged part, heat exchange occurs, which slightly increases the temperature of the cold medium. The cold medium with the increased temperature returns to the chiller through the return pipe 401 and the installation plug 403. The chiller then cools the cold medium again. In this way, the circulation of the cold medium is realized, saving costs.

[0067] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the heating unit 201 includes a heating resistance wire, a main adapter 203, and a sealing gasket 204.

[0068] Specifically, the sealing gasket 204 can seal the outlet end of the spring water pipe 103; the two ends of the heating resistance wire along its extension direction are the insertion end and the connection end, respectively, and the connection end of the heating resistance wire is electrically connected to the adapter; when the insertion end of the heating resistance wire extends into the inside of the spring water pipe 103, the adapter can seal the inlet end 102 of the spring water pipe 103.

[0069] Specifically, the power supply unit 202 includes a power plug 205, a wire 206, and a secondary adapter 207; the secondary adapter 207 is connected to the power plug 205 via the wire 206; the secondary adapter 207 can be plugged into the main adapter 203, and when the secondary adapter 207 is connected to the main adapter 203, it can supply power to the heating resistance wire.

[0070] In actual use, when hot compress is needed after cold compress is completed, firstly, remove the inlet component 3 and outlet component 4 from the outlet end and inlet end 102 of the spring water tube 103; then seal the outlet end of the spring water tube 103 with a sealing gasket 204; then extend the heating resistance wire into the spring water tube 103 until the main adapter 203 is sealed at the inlet end 102 of the spring water tube 103. In this way, the sealing gasket 204 and the main adapter 203 completely seal the cold medium at the outlet end and inlet end 102 of the spring water tube 103; finally, plug the auxiliary adapter 207 into the main adapter 203 and plug the power plug 205 into the wall switch to close the circuit and supply power to the heating resistance wire to achieve hot compress.

[0071] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the orthopedic nursing device for hot and cold compresses also includes a filter assembly 5; the filter assembly 5 is disposed in the water inlet pipe 301 and is capable of filtering the cold medium introduced through the water inlet pipe; the filter assembly 5 includes a filter tube 501 and an activated carbon filter element 502; the filter tube 501 is connected to the water inlet pipe, and the activated carbon filter element 502 is disposed in the filter tube 501.

[0072] Specifically, the filter tube 501 and the activated carbon filter element 502 can filter the cold medium, preventing impurities in the cold medium from adsorbing onto the inner wall of the spring water pipe 103 and forming scale.

[0073] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 2 As shown, the orthopedic nursing device for hot and cold compresses also includes a water temperature sensor 503; the water temperature sensor 503 is installed in the return pipe 401 and is used to measure the temperature of the cold medium in the return pipe 401. The water temperature sensor 503 can measure the temperature of the water discharged after the spring water pipe 103 is discharged.

[0074] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the orthopedic nursing device for hot and cold compresses also includes a flow meter 504 and a control valve 505; the flow meter 504 and the control valve 505 are arranged at intervals along the direction from the outlet end to the inlet end 102. The flow meter 504 is used to detect the flow rate of the cold medium, and the opening or closing of the control valve 505 can determine whether the cold medium is circulated or not.

[0075] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application 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 therein.
