Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically to a knee joint surround pressure ice pack device. Background Technology

[0002] After total knee replacement surgery, hospitals often use ice packs to alleviate discomfort for patients. Applying ice packs lowers the temperature of the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscles around the knee joint, causing vasoconstriction, reducing circulating blood volume, decreasing vascular permeability, promoting blood clotting, and localizing hematoma to achieve hemostasis and reduce exudation.

[0003] However, current methods of applying ice packs have some drawbacks. For example, ice packs used on the knees are block-shaped, which makes it difficult for them to conform well to the patient's knee joint during use. They are also prone to displacement when the patient moves their leg, resulting in the ice not reaching the desired area. Based on the above, this paper proposes a knee joint surround pressure ice pack device. Utility Model Content

The end of the liquid extraction pipe away from the water jacket is connected to the liquid extraction port of the peristaltic pump, and the end of the liquid drain pipe away from the soft bladder is connected to the delivery end of the peristaltic pump. A return pipe runs through the soft bladder and the water jacket to allow the coolant inside the soft bladder to be drained back into the water jacket cavity.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model: one end of the elastic fabric cover is sewn with a calf elastic band for tightly fitting the calf area; the other end of the elastic fabric cover is sewn with a thigh elastic band for tightly fitting the thigh area.

[0017] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0018] In this technical solution, multiple semiconductor cooling chips are used to cool the coolant in the water jacket, and a peristaltic pump is used to draw the coolant from the water jacket into a soft bladder.

[0028] Preferred technical solution for a surround-type pressure ice pack device:

[0029] See attached document Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 As shown; this embodiment includes:

[0030] It includes a knee joint cover 1, a pressure component 3 is provided inside the knee joint cover 1, and a water cooling component 2 is provided on the outer surface of the knee joint cover 1.

[0031] The knee support sleeve 1 includes a frustum-shaped elastic fabric sleeve 11 and a knee support bag 12 sewn into the middle section of the elastic fabric sleeve 11.

[0032] The water-cooling assembly 2 includes a water jacket 21, a peristaltic pump 25 installed on the outer surface of the water jacket 21, and two thermoelectric coolers 23 attached to the left and right sides of the outer ring of the water jacket 21 by thermal grease. The cooling end face of the thermoelectric cooler 23 is in contact with the outer surface of the water jacket 21. A copper heat-conducting plate 27 is fixed on the heat dissipation end face of the thermoelectric cooler 23. A small servo fan 28 is fixed on the end face of the copper heat-conducting plate 27 away from the thermoelectric cooler 23.

[0033] The pressurization assembly 3 includes a soft bladder 31 and a chamber 32 formed inside the soft bladder 31 for the soft bladder 31 to expand and contract.

[0034] The water jacket 21 has a liquid extraction pipe 24 running through its side wall, and the soft bladder 31 has a liquid drain pipe 26 running through its side wall. The end of the liquid extraction pipe 24 away from the water jacket 21 is connected to the liquid extraction port of the peristaltic pump 25, and the end of the liquid drain pipe 26 away from the soft bladder 31 is connected to the delivery end of the peristaltic pump 25. A return pipe runs through the soft bladder 31 and the water jacket 21 to allow the coolant inside the soft bladder 31 to be drained back into the inner cavity of the water jacket 21.

[0035] One end of the elastic fabric cover 11 is sewn with an elastic band 14 for the calf, which is used to tightly fit the calf area; the other end of the elastic fabric cover 11 is sewn with an elastic band 13 for the thigh, which is used to tightly fit the thigh area. A battery for powering the water-cooling assembly 2 is connected to the side wall surface of the elastic fabric cover 11 by adhesive, and the battery has a charging port.

[0036] The water jacket 21 has a chamber for filling with coolant inside, and a protrusion is fixed on the outer surface of the water jacket 21. The bottom surface of the peristaltic pump 25 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protrusion. The semiconductor cooling chips 23 are arranged in a ring array with the central axis of the water jacket 21 as the base point, and the power supply terminals of the semiconductor cooling chips 23 and the power supply terminals of the small servo fan 28 are connected to power lines 22.

[0037] The power input terminal of the peristaltic pump 25 and the power cord 22 are both connected to the battery power supply terminal on the side wall of the elastic cloth sleeve 11.

A temperature sensor is fixed in the inner cavity of the water sleeve 21, and a control panel is installed on the surface of the water sleeve 21.

[0038] Based on the above-described preferred technical solution, the workflow of this technical solution is explained as follows:

[0039] After the elastic fabric cover 11 is placed on the knee joint, the calf elastic band 14 is used to tighten it near the calf, and the thigh elastic band 13 is used to tighten it near the thigh, thus stabilizing the elastic fabric cover 11 and the knee wrap 12. The elasticity of the elastic fabric cover 11 itself will wrap around the entire knee joint. After power is supplied to the thermoelectric cooler 23, the cooling end face of the thermoelectric cooler 23 cools the coolant inside the water jacket 21. The control panel controls the airflow of the small servo fan 28, thereby controlling the cooling effect of the thermoelectric cooler 23. After the coolant reaches the appropriate temperature as detected by the temperature sensor, the peristaltic pump 25 and the extraction pipe 24 extract the cooled coolant from inside the water jacket 21 and deliver it to the chamber 32 inside the soft bladder 31 through the drain pipe 26. At this time, because the soft bladder 31 surrounds and wraps around the entire knee joint, the low temperature will be transmitted to the knee joint through the soft bladder 31, achieving the effect of cold compress on the knee joint. The coolant that has circulated inside the soft bladder 31 will return to the interior of the water jacket 21 along the return pipe.

[0040] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
