Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to emergency medical equipment, specifically to a mining AED first aid kit device. Background Technology

[0002] An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that can diagnose specific arrhythmias and deliver a high-voltage electric shock to defibrillate the heart. It is a medical device that can be used by non-professionals to resuscitate patients experiencing cardiac arrest. Essentially, all patients experiencing cardiac arrest requiring cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) need to use an AED. In the event of cardiac arrest, using an AED to perform high-voltage defibrillation and CPR within the critical "golden four minutes" is the most effective way to prevent sudden cardiac death.

[0003] During the defibrillation process, the electrodes of an AED can generate a high-voltage arc. In special environments such as mines, there is a possibility that the concentration of dangerous gases such as methane may exceed the standard. If an AED is used to perform high-voltage defibrillation, it may cause an explosion and lead to a mine accident.

[0004] Therefore, when a worker in a mine suffers cardiac arrest, the inability to quickly implement rescue measures may result in the worker dying before medical personnel arrive.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the relevant technologies in order to overcome their shortcomings. Utility Model Content

[0006] This application provides a mining AED first aid kit to solve the problem that AED devices cannot be used in environments with hazardous gases, such as mines, which leads to the inability of underground workers to receive timely treatment when they suffer cardiac arrest.

[0021] The above description is only an overview of the technical solution of this application. In order to better understand the technical means of this application and to implement it in accordance with the contents of the specification, the preferred embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0022] Figure 1 This is a front structural schematic diagram of a mining AED first aid kit device provided in one embodiment of this application;

[0023] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the rear structure of a mining AED first aid kit provided in one embodiment of this application;

[0024] Figure 3 This is a circuit schematic provided in one embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. It should be noted that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. All other embodiments made by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0026] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below.

[0027] In response to the problems in related technologies, such as the potential for explosions and mine accidents caused by the use of AED devices in mines, and the inability of underground personnel to receive timely treatment when experiencing cardiac arrest, this application provides a mine emergency medical device.

[0028] Figure 1 This is a front structural diagram of a mining AED first aid kit device provided in one embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1As shown in the figure, the mine AED first aid kit device according to an embodiment of this application includes:

[0029] The box body 1 and the box door 2 are hinged to the box body. Both the box body 1 and the box door 2 are made of flame-retardant and anti-static materials. The box body 1 is equipped with an AED host and a methane monitoring module. The methane monitoring module includes a methane display unit. The box door 2 is equipped with a first window 3 corresponding to the methane display unit. The methane display unit is used to display the methane monitoring results output by the methane monitoring module.

[0030] In this embodiment, when using the first aid kit, the rescuer observes the methane monitoring results through the first window 3. If the methane concentration exceeds the standard, the AED cannot be used in the current area. The rescuer can transfer the patient to a nearby area with normal methane concentration for rescue.

[0031] The AED first aid kit device in this application embodiment is equipped with a methane concentration monitor to monitor the methane concentration in the current area. Rescuers can use the AED to provide first aid when the methane concentration is normal, avoiding delays in the best rescue time due to waiting for medical personnel.

[0032] In one embodiment, the methane display unit has a first display state indicating that the methane concentration exceeds the standard, and a second display state indicating that the methane concentration is normal.

[0033] The methane monitoring module includes a methane detection unit and a main control unit. The methane detection unit is electrically connected to the main control unit. The methane detection unit is used to detect the methane concentration in the current area. The main control unit acquires the methane concentration data and determines whether the methane concentration exceeds a preset safety threshold. In one embodiment, the preset safety threshold is set to 1%. When the methane concentration exceeds 1%, it is determined that the methane concentration in the current area exceeds the standard.

[0034] The main control unit is electrically connected to the methane display unit, which has a first display state and a second display state. When the methane concentration exceeds the standard, the main control unit sends a first indication signal to put the methane display unit into the first display state. When the methane concentration is normal, the main control unit sends a second indication signal to switch the methane display unit from the first display state to the second display state.

[0035] For example, the methane display unit can be a status indicator light. In a first display state, the status indicator light displays a first status color; in a second display state, the status indicator light displays a second status color.

[0036] For example, when the methane concentration is below 1%, the status indicator light will be solid green, indicating that the methane concentration is normal; while when the methane concentration exceeds 1%, the status indicator light will be solid red, to warn that the methane concentration exceeds the standard.

[0037] In another embodiment, the methane display unit includes a methane display screen that can display a methane concentration value. Rescuers can observe the methane concentration through a first window. When the displayed methane concentration value is greater than a preset safety threshold (e.g., 1%), it can be determined that the methane concentration exceeds the standard.

[0038] Furthermore, the methane display screen can also display safety indicators indicating whether methane levels exceed the standard. These safety indicators can be represented by text or icons. For example, when the methane concentration is normal, the methane display screen can display the icon "√" and / or the text "Methane concentration normal". When the methane concentration exceeds the standard, the methane display screen can display the icon "×" and / or the text "Methane concentration exceeds the standard". Figure 1 The first window 3 shown in the image displays the color changes of the status indicator lights.

[0039] To further optimize the system, a green icon or text will be used to indicate when the methane concentration is normal; however, if the concentration exceeds the standard, the icon or text will be switched to red to warn the user.

[0040] The above-described method of displaying the safety status is only one specific embodiment of this application. In other embodiments, safety indicators can also be displayed in different ways.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the methane monitoring module, the main control unit is connected to an alarm. When the methane concentration exceeds the standard, the main control unit immediately triggers the alarm. An alarm sound outlet 4 is provided on the door.

[0042] The alarm device in this embodiment is an audible and visual alarm. When the methane concentration is abnormal, the main control unit immediately triggers the alarm device to emit an audible and visual alarm signal to further remind rescue personnel that the current methane concentration exceeds the standard.

[0043] In this way, even if the rescue personnel do not check the methane display unit, they can still be notified of excessive methane concentration by the sound and light alarm.

[0044] Understandably, in this embodiment, a start button 14 for the methane monitoring module is provided on the main body of the box. A button extension rod is connected to the lower end of the start button, and the button extension rod abuts against the power button of the methane monitoring module.

[0045] The main body of the container is also equipped with a methane detection port 15, through which air can enter the container.

[0046] When an AED is needed for emergency rescue, first turn on the methane monitoring module by pressing the start button 14. The methane monitoring module will then monitor the methane concentration in the current area.

[0047] Understandably, the door of the embodiment of this application is provided with a first button hole 5 and a second button hole 6. A first button is provided in the first button hole 5 and a second button is provided in the second button hole 6. A button extension rod is connected to the lower end of both the first button and the second button. The end of the button extension rod corresponding to the first button abuts against the power button of the AED host, and the end of the button extension rod corresponding to the second button abuts against the defibrillation button of the AED host.

[0048] Specifically, in an emergency, the rescuer quickly presses the first button, and the end of the button extension rod applies pressure to the power button on the AED main unit. Pressing the power button then turns on the AED main unit. Following the AED main unit's operating prompts, when the rescuer presses the second button, pressure is applied to the defibrillation button on the AED main unit via the button extension rod, and then the defibrillation button is pressed to initiate the AED main unit's defibrillation process.

[0049] To meet the stringent requirements of the downhole working environment and ensure safe production, downhole equipment must possess flame-retardant and anti-static properties. The first-aid kit in this embodiment is made of a flame-retardant and anti-static material; for example, it can be made of stainless steel.

[0050] In this embodiment, the AED is operated via a first button and a second button on the cabinet door, allowing the AED to be operated for emergency treatment without opening the cabinet door, thus meeting the requirements for downhole operations.

[0051] In addition, since AEDs deliver a high-voltage shock to the patient via electrode pads, the AED unit needs to be connected to the electrode pads. The electrode pads are usually sealed in an electrode pack. When using them, the electrode pack is opened, the electrode pads are removed, and they are attached to the patient's chest. The electrode pads are connected to an electrode plug via a cable, and the AED unit has an electrode socket. The user establishes an electrical connection between the AED unit and the electrode pads by plugging the electrode plug into the AED unit.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, an electrode storage compartment 11 for storing the electrode pack 13 is provided on the outside of the box body. The electrode storage compartment 11 is also made of flame-retardant and anti-static material, and can be made of the same material as the box body.

[0053] In order to enable the use of the AED without opening the box door and improve rescue efficiency, in this embodiment, an electrode socket 12 is provided on the box body at the position corresponding to the electrode socket of the AED host. The electrode plug of the electrode pack 13 is connected to the AED host through the electrode socket 12.

[0054] In this embodiment, both the electrode storage compartment and the electrode socket are located on the back of the box body. To prevent the electrode storage compartment from interfering with the placement of the first aid kit, this embodiment provides support columns at the four corners of the back of the box body, with the ends of the support columns extending outward beyond the plane of the electrode storage compartment. Thus, when the first aid kit is used and laid flat, it can be supported by the support columns.

[0055] Furthermore, to avoid the risk of explosion if defibrillation is performed without checking the methane concentration warning signs due to negligence by paramedics. Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, a power supply control switch K is also provided, which is coupled between the power module of the AED host and the AED host. The methane monitoring module is configured to turn off the power supply control switch in response to detecting that the methane concentration exceeds the standard, thereby de-energizing the AED host.

[0056] Specifically, during the operation of the AED, the methane monitoring module monitors the methane concentration in real time. If the methane monitoring module detects that the methane concentration exceeds the standard before the AED performs a high-voltage electric shock, it will immediately shut off the power supply control switch to de-energize the AED host, thereby preventing the AED host from performing high-voltage discharge and avoiding an explosion.

[0057] In another embodiment, the AED host establishes a communication connection with the methane monitoring module. When the methane monitoring module detects that the methane concentration exceeds the standard, it immediately sends an interrupt signal to the AED host, causing the AED host to interrupt the currently executing operation and stop the upcoming operation process. In this embodiment, the methane monitoring module and the AED host can achieve wireless connection via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

[0058] For example, the methane monitoring module can monitor the methane concentration in real time. When the AED needs to be used, if the methane monitoring module detects that the methane concentration exceeds the standard before the AED device is turned on, the control unit will immediately send an interrupt signal to the AED host when the AED performs the power-on operation, so that the AED cannot be turned on successfully, thereby avoiding the risk of explosion.

[0059] For example, once the AED device is powered on and in working condition, the methane monitoring module continuously monitors the methane concentration. If the methane concentration exceeds the standard before the AED performs high-voltage defibrillation, an interrupt signal is immediately sent, preventing the AED device from performing subsequent operations.

[0060] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the AED host does not perform a high-voltage shock when the methane concentration exceeds the standard, when the AED host detects that the rescuer clicks the defibrillation button, it does not immediately execute the high-voltage shock procedure. It must first obtain an indication from the methane monitoring module whether the methane concentration exceeds the standard. Only after ensuring that the methane concentration does not exceed the standard will the next step of high-voltage shock defibrillation be performed according to the AED operation procedure.

[0061] It should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in the application is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature specified with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0062] Understandably, the AED host in this embodiment of the application is provided with an operation guidance display screen to guide the user's operation, and the door 2 is provided with a second window 7, which is corresponding to the operation guidance display screen; the door is also provided with a third window 8 corresponding to the status display screen of the AED.

[0063] Specifically, the AED host in this embodiment of the application can guide and demonstrate the next steps for rescuers by setting an operation guidance display screen, allowing rescuers to operate correctly by referring to the guidance on the operation display screen. By setting a second window 7 on the door 2, rescuers can view the operation guidance demonstration on the operation display screen through the second window 7 without opening the door.

[0064] The AED's status display shows whether the AED is currently malfunctioning. If the AED is functioning normally, the status display shows a "√"; if the AED is malfunctioning, the status display shows an "×". Therefore, by setting a third viewing window 8 on the door, users can observe the current status of the AED without opening the first aid kit.

[0065] The first, second, and third windows in this embodiment are all provided with transparent tempered glass to meet the requirements of safe production in underground mines.

[0066] The door 2 of this embodiment is provided with a door handle 9, which makes it convenient to open the door when it is necessary to take out the AED or methane monitoring module.

[0067] Furthermore, a handle 10 is provided on the top of the box body 1 to facilitate rescuers to carry the first aid box to the rescue location in an emergency.

[0068] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0069] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
