Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wet compress device technology, and in particular to a wet compress device for traditional Chinese medicine treatment. Background Technology
[0002] Medicated compresses are a common external treatment method in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The compress method helps the skin absorb the medication and forms a high concentration of the drug at the affected area, which helps the drug treat the affected area. When applying a compress to the patient's forearm, gauze is soaked in a container of medicated liquid, and then the soaked gauze is applied to the patient's forearm.
[0003] In traditional Chinese medicine forearm wet compress therapy, gauze is often soaked in a container of medicinal liquid and then applied to the affected area of the patient's forearm to achieve the purpose of wet compress. However, during the wet compress process, because the soaked gauze is directly exposed to the surrounding environment, the medicinal liquid in the gauze is easy to evaporate. Once the medicinal liquid evaporates, medical staff need to re-soak the gauze and repeat the wet compress operation on the affected area. In a single treatment process, the wet compress step often needs to be repeated multiple times. If there are many patients to be treated, not only is it necessary to frequently and continuously soak a large number of gauze, but also to maintain a high degree of attention at all times to strictly ensure that each piece of gauze is soaked in its corresponding specific medicinal liquid, without allowing any errors. Under such circumstances, the labor intensity of medical staff is significantly increased, the entire operation process is extremely cumbersome and complex, and is prone to errors due to human negligence, ultimately having varying degrees of negative impact on the patient's treatment effect, treatment process, and treatment experience. Therefore, this application provides a traditional Chinese medicine treatment wet compress device to meet the needs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine wet compress device to address the issue that in wet compress therapy, because the gauze is directly exposed, the medicinal liquid is easily evaporated, requiring medical staff to repeatedly soak the gauze and apply it to the patient. When there are many patients, the workload of medical staff increases significantly. Furthermore, ensuring that the gauze and the corresponding medicinal liquid are accurately matched is cumbersome, prone to errors, and can also affect the patient's treatment.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A traditional Chinese medicine wet compress device includes a medicine storage box. The top of the medicine storage box is fastened with a lid via a snap fastener. The top of the lid has a medicine inlet, and a round cap is threaded onto the medicine inlet. A medicine liquid transmission component is provided inside the medicine storage box. The medicine liquid transmission component includes at least two rows of curved tubes fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the medicine storage box. The curved tubes are filled with absorbent cotton cores. One end of the absorbent cotton core is located inside the medicine storage box, and the other end of the absorbent cotton core movably passes through the medicine storage box and extends to the bottom of the medicine storage box. The absorbent cotton core is used for the transmission of medicine liquid. Two side plates are fixed to the bottom of the medicine storage box.
[0007] Preferably, the bend includes a vertical section one, a bend section and a vertical section two connected in sequence. The bottom of the vertical section two is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the medicine storage box. The top of the bend section has a notch, and a silicone pad is attached to the notch. A pressure block is fixed to the top of the silicone pad, and a pressure rod is fixed to the top of the pressure block. The top of the pressure rod is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the box lid.
[0008] Preferably, both the pressure block and the silicone pad are arc-shaped, and the center of the pressure block and the silicone pad coincides with the center of the curved portion.
[0009] Preferably, the medicine storage box has a transparent viewing window embedded in its side.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the medicine storage box is provided with a label area, which is used to affix a label identifying the type of medicine liquid inside the medicine storage box.
[0011] Preferably, a support plate is slidably connected between the two side plates, and a U-shaped rod is fixed on both sides of the support plate. A vertical groove is opened on the side of the side plate, and the side of the U-shaped rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical groove. A bolt is threadedly connected to the middle position of the side of the U-shaped rod, and the end of the bolt abuts against the side of the side plate.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the support plate is fixed with reinforcing ribs.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the side plate is provided with a bent portion.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0015] In the above-mentioned scheme, the medication is slowly and steadily transferred from the medication storage box to the gauze on the patient's forearm through the setting of the medication storage box and the absorbent cotton core. This ensures that the gauze is always wet, enabling real-time medication replenishment. This eliminates the need for medical staff to repeatedly wet the gauze, simplifying the operation, greatly reducing the workload of medical staff, and improving the convenience and efficiency of treatment. It also ensures a relatively stable concentration of medication on the gauze during treatment, which is conducive to the continuous exertion of the drug's efficacy. At the same time, by eliminating the need to repeatedly wet the gauze, it ensures accurate matching between the gauze and the corresponding medication, preventing errors and thus guaranteeing the patient's treatment effect.
[0016] By designing a curved tube, the medication is first transferred upwards through the curved and vertical sections during the delivery of the absorbent cotton core. This controls the absorption and transfer process, preventing excessive medication transfer and dripping from the gauze. It ensures a moderate and even supply of medication during wet compresses, improving the reliability of the treatment. When replacing the absorbent cotton core, the lid is opened, causing the silicone pad at the bottom of the pressure block to separate from the curved section. The absorbent cotton core can then be pulled out through the notch, and a new one inserted. The lid is then closed, sealing the notch by ensuring a tight seal between the pressure block and the silicone pad. The replacement of the absorbent cotton core is simple and convenient, and the storage box is adaptable to different medication needs.
[0017] With the support plate and U-shaped rod, the support plate provides a stable support platform for the patient's forearm, avoiding the discomfort caused by the forearm being suspended during wet compresses and improving the patient's comfort during treatment. At the same time, the height of the support plate can be adjusted by using bolts and U-shaped rods, so that the height of the support plate can be flexibly adjusted according to the thickness of the patient's forearm, which can adapt to the individual differences of different patients, further optimizing the treatment experience and ensuring the applicability and versatility of the device for different patients.

[0030] like Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a traditional Chinese medicine wet compress device, including a medicine storage box 1. The top of the medicine storage box 1 is fastened with a lid 2 via a snap fastener. The top of the lid 2 has a medicine inlet, and a round cap is threadedly connected to the medicine inlet. A medicine liquid transmission component 13 is provided inside the medicine storage box 1. The medicine liquid transmission component 13 includes at least two rows of curved tubes 6 fixed to the bottom of the inner wall of the medicine storage box 1. The curved tubes 6 are filled with absorbent cotton cores 5. One end of the absorbent cotton core 5 is located inside the medicine storage box 1, and the other end of the absorbent cotton core 5 movably passes through the medicine storage box 1 and extends to the bottom of the medicine storage box 1. The absorbent cotton core 5 is used for the transmission of medicine liquid. Two side plates 3 are fixed to the bottom of the medicine storage box 1. The medicine storage box 1, as the main structure for containing medicine liquid, provides a stable medicine liquid storage container for the entire wet compress process. Its large internal space can store a sufficient amount of traditional Chinese medicine liquid to meet the needs of wet compress treatment of different durations. The medication delivery component 13 transfers medication from the medication storage box 1 to the gauze on the patient's forearm, enabling wet compresses. The curved tube 6 provides fixation and guidance for the absorbent cotton core 5. The absorbent cotton core 5, with its excellent capillary action, effectively absorbs the medication from the medication storage box 1 and transfers it to the end extending below the storage box 1, laying the foundation for subsequent medication delivery to the gauze. This ensures the gauze remains constantly wet, enabling real-time medication replenishment without requiring medical staff to repeatedly wet the gauze. The simple operation significantly reduces the workload of medical staff, improves the convenience and efficiency of treatment, and ensures a relatively stable concentration of medication on the gauze during treatment, facilitating sustained efficacy. Furthermore, by eliminating the need for repeated gauze wetting, it ensures accurate matching between the gauze and the corresponding medication, preventing errors and guaranteeing the patient's treatment outcome.
[0031] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, the curved tube 6 includes a vertical section 7, a curved section 8, and a vertical section 9 connected in sequence. The bottom of the vertical section 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the medicine storage box 1. The top of the curved section 8 has a notch, and a silicone pad 10 is attached to the notch. A pressure block 11 is fixed to the top of the silicone pad 10, and a pressure rod 12 is fixed to the top of the pressure block 11. The top of the pressure rod 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the box cover 2. The vertical section 7 allows the medicine to be transported upwards after being absorbed by the absorbent cotton core 5, changing the natural downward flow trend of the medicine. This effectively controls the initial speed and flow rate of the medicine transport, preventing the medicine from dripping onto the gauze in large quantities due to the direct and rapid conduction of the absorbent cotton core 5, thus preventing the medicine from being over-conducted on the gauze. This method minimizes waste and ensures the uniformity and appropriateness of the medication supply during wet compresses, improving the reliability and safety of treatment. When the lid 2 is closed, the silicone pad 10 fits tightly against the notch under the action of the pressure block 11 and the pressure rod 12, achieving a seal at the notch and preventing the medication from contacting the absorbent cotton core 5 through the notch. When the absorbent cotton core 5 needs to be replaced, the lid 2 is opened, and the pressure rod 12 drives the pressure block 11 to rise, separating the silicone pad 10 from the notch of the curved part 8. At this time, the absorbent cotton core 5 can be taken out from the notch, and then the new absorbent cotton core 5 is inserted into the curved tube 6 through the notch. After that, the lid 2 is put back on the medicine storage box 1. The operation is convenient and can meet the needs of storing different medications in the medicine storage box 1.
[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, both the pressure block 11 and the silicone pad 10 are arc-shaped, and the center of the pressure block 11 and the silicone pad 10 coincides with the center of the curved part 8, so that the silicone pad 10 can make closer and more uniform contact when it fits with the notch of the curved part 8, forming a good sealing effect, thereby preventing the medicine from contacting the absorbent cotton core 5 from the notch.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, a transparent viewing window 18 is embedded in the side of the medicine storage box 1. The transparent viewing window 18 is embedded in the side of the medicine storage box 1, providing medical staff with an intuitive and convenient way to observe, so that they can clearly see the remaining amount of medicine in the medicine storage box 1 at any time without opening the box lid 2. During the wet compress treatment, medical staff can keep track of the treatment progress in a timely manner according to the amount of medicine displayed in the transparent viewing window 18. When the amount of medicine is insufficient, they can prepare to add medicine in advance to ensure that the wet compress treatment can be carried out continuously and effectively, and avoid interrupting the treatment due to the depletion of medicine, which would affect the efficacy. At the same time, the presence of the transparent viewing window 18 also makes it convenient for medical staff to check whether the medicine has been added to the appropriate mark after adding medicine, which improves the accuracy and convenience of the medicine adding operation.
[0034] like Figure 1As shown in this embodiment, a label area 19 is provided on the top of the medicine storage box 1. The label area 19 is used to affix labels that identify the type of medicine liquid in the medicine storage box 1. The label area 19 is located on the top of the medicine storage box 1, and its main function is to provide medical staff with a clear identification location for the type of medicine liquid. By affixing the corresponding label to the label area 19, the specific type of medicine liquid stored in the medicine storage box 1 can be clearly indicated, which effectively avoids treatment errors caused by confusion of medicine liquids during the process of adding, changing, or operating medicine. This ensures that each patient can receive the correct Chinese medicine liquid wet compress treatment, guarantees the accuracy and safety of treatment, improves the work efficiency of medical staff, and reduces the risk of medical accidents caused by human error.
[0035] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, a support plate 14 is slidably connected between the two side plates 3. U-shaped rods 15 are fixed to both sides of the support plate 14. A vertical groove 17 is provided on the side of the side plate 3. The side of the U-shaped rod 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertical groove 17. A bolt 16 is threadedly connected to the middle position of the side of the U-shaped rod 15, and the end of the bolt 16 abuts against the side of the side plate 3. The support plate 14 achieves height adjustment between the two side plates 3 through the slidable connection between the U-shaped rod 15 and the vertical groove 17. During use, medical personnel can adjust the height according to the thickness of the patient's forearm by rotating the support plate 14. Bolt 16 is used to separate its end from the side plate 3. Then, the U-shaped rod 15 is moved to raise or lower the support plate 14 to a suitable height. Then, the bolt 16 is rotated in the opposite direction so that its end abuts against the side of the side plate 3 to fix the height of the support plate 14. By adjusting the height of the support plate 14, the patient's forearm is ensured to have stable support during wet compress, avoiding discomfort or affecting the treatment effect due to the forearm being suspended. At the same time, the adjustable height of the support plate 14 allows the device to adapt to a wide range of patients, improving the versatility and applicability of the device and optimizing the patient's treatment experience.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown in this embodiment, the bottom of the support plate 14 is fixed with a reinforcing rib. The reinforcing rib at the bottom of the support plate 14 effectively improves the structural strength of the support plate 14. When bearing the weight of the patient's forearm, it can enhance the deformation resistance of the support plate 14 and prevent it from bending, deforming or even being damaged due to long-term stress or bearing a heavy forearm during use.
[0037] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the side plate 3 is provided with a bending part 4. The bending part 4 at the bottom of the side plate 3 can significantly enhance the stability of the device when it is placed. During the wet compress treatment, the device needs to be placed on a stable surface. The presence of the bending part 4 increases the contact area between the side plate 3 and the placement plane, reducing the risk of the device tipping over due to accidental collisions, slight shaking, or uneven tabletops.
[0038] Working principle: The height of the support plate 14 is adjusted according to the thickness of the patient's forearm. During adjustment, the bolt 16 in the middle of the side of the U-shaped rod 15 is rotated to separate the end of the bolt 16 from the side plate 3. Then, the U-shaped rod 15 is moved to slide in the vertical groove 17 on the side of the side plate 3, thereby driving the support plate 14 to rise or fall until it is adjusted to a suitable height. Then, the bolt 16 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the end of the bolt 16 abut against the side of the side plate 3, thereby fixing the height of the support plate 14. At this time, the gauze placed on the patient's forearm can fit tightly against the bottom of the absorbent cotton core 5.
[0039] Next, unscrew the round cap at the medicine inlet on the top of the box lid 2 from the medicine inlet, pour the Chinese medicine liquid into the medicine storage box 1 through the medicine inlet on the top of the box lid 2, and then tighten the round cap on the medicine inlet. One end of the absorbent cotton core 5 is in full contact with the medicine liquid inside the medicine storage box 1. Due to capillary action, the medicine liquid is absorbed by the absorbent cotton core 5 and begins to be transported. During the transport process, affected by the vertical part 7 on the curved tube 6, the medicine liquid first rises along the absorbent cotton core 5, then changes direction through the curved part 8, and then is transported downward through the vertical part 9 to one end of the absorbent cotton core 5 that extends to the bottom of the medicine storage box 1, and finally transferred to the gauze to achieve wet compress on the patient's forearm.
[0040] During this process, the transparent viewing window 18 on the side of the medicine storage box 1 allows medical staff to easily observe the remaining amount of medicine. When it is necessary to add medicine, the round cap can be unscrewed to add medicine. After adding medicine, the round cap can be tightened. The label area 19 on the top of the medicine storage box 1 has a label. The label is used to identify the type of medicine to prevent the wrong medicine from being added.
[0041] After the wet compress is completed, rotate bolt 16 to separate bolt 16 from side plate 3, move support plate 14 down, then pull the patient's forearm out between the two side plates 3, then open the box cover 2, pour out the remaining medicine in the medicine storage box 1, and after opening the box cover 2, the box cover 2 drives the silicone pad 10 at the bottom of the pressure block 11 to separate from the notch at the bend 8 through the pressure rod 12. After separation, the absorbent cotton core 5 can be pulled out from the notch, and then the entire device is cleaned. After cleaning and drying, a new absorbent cotton core 5 is inserted into the bend tube 6 through the notch, and then the box cover 2 is fastened to the top of the medicine storage box 1 through the buckle, so that the pressure block 11 drives the silicone pad 10 to fit tightly with the notch to achieve a seal at the notch.

To provide the public with a thorough understanding of this utility model, specific details have been described in detail in the above preferred embodiments; however, those skilled in the art can fully understand this utility model even without these detailed descriptions.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
