Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary devices, specifically to an insulin injection site rotation reminder device. Background Technology
[0002] Insulin injection is an effective treatment for diabetes. Regularly rotating injection sites can effectively prevent subcutaneous fat hyperplasia, improve blood sugar control, and prevent diabetic complications. Rotatable injection sites include the abdomen, upper arm, thigh, and buttocks. Rotation is divided into major and minor rotations. A major rotation refers to changing the injection site, such as from the abdomen to the upper arm or from the thigh to the buttocks. This requires consistent injection sites at the same time each day; for example, injecting into the abdomen in the morning, the upper arm at noon, and the buttocks in the evening. The abdomen can also be divided into four smaller sites, using only one site per week and rotating clockwise. A minor rotation involves rotating the injection point within the same site from top to bottom or from left to right. This requires different injection points each time within the same site, avoiding reusing the same injection point within a month. Currently, most patients use simple positioning cards to assist with insulin injection rotations for easier compliance with requirements. However, due to the complexity of the rotation rules and the fact that current positioning cards only mark the actual injection sites and cannot help patients remember which site or injection point to rotate to each time, errors in finding the injection site and point are prone to occur, affecting treatment efficacy. Therefore, this case arises from the need for an automatic reminder device that helps patients promptly track injection times and the specific injection sites and points to be rotated each time, thus preventing patients from easily forgetting the injection time and the specific information of the rotation site and point, thereby reducing the risk of affecting treatment efficacy. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model discloses an insulin injection site rotation reminder device, including a housing, an illustration sheet assembly, a positioning card assembly, LED beads, a warning light, a display screen, a buzzer, and an electronic control system. This utility model fixes four illustration sheets, each depicting a different region of the human body, to the four sides of the housing. The permitted insulin injection sites are drawn within the areas depicted on each of the four illustration sheets, and each injection site has several injection points with unique identification codes. Several LED beads are placed at several injection points. Each of the four positioning cards in the positioning card assembly has several injection positioning holes with identification codes, each corresponding one-to-one with a specific injection point on the illustration sheet assembly, and the identification codes of the injection positioning holes are identical to those of their corresponding injection points. The LED beads, warning light, display screen, and buzzer are electrically connected to the electronic control system, which can preset insulin injection sites. The device displays the injection sites and times for insulin injections within a specific timeframe based on the rotation rules and injection reminders. Before the scheduled injection time, a buzzer and a warning light activate, and a specific LED illuminates. Patients can quickly locate the corresponding injection hole on a positioning card by comparing the LED's identification code to the card's identifier. This automatic prompting helps patients stay informed about injection times and the specific injection sites and points, preventing them from forgetting injection times and details, thus reducing the risk of compromised treatment outcomes.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0027] The present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the insulin injection site rotation reminder device of this utility model includes a box body 1, a picture sheet assembly 2, a positioning card assembly 3, an LED bead 4, a warning light 5, a display screen 6, a buzzer 7, and an electronic control system 8. The box body 1 is a square box-shaped body with upper and lower cavities inside. Its upper cavity is divided into four compartments 11, and the four compartments 11 correspond one-to-one with the four sides of the box body 1. The bottom of the box body 1 is provided with an openable movable door. The illustrated sheet assembly 2 comprises four illustrated sheets, each with a different image. Each of the four illustrated sheets depicts a different region of the human body, and within each region, it shows the permitted insulin injection site. Each permitted insulin injection site has several injection points, each marked with an identification code. All identification codes on the four illustrated sheets are unique. The four illustrated sheets of the illustrated sheet assembly 2 are fixed to the upper part of the four sides of the square box 1. Several LED beads 4 are distributed among the injection points marked on the four illustrated sheets of the illustrated sheet assembly 2. The positioning card assembly 3 is fixedly attached to the side wall of the box body 1. It has four sets of positioning cards, each with several injection positioning holes marked with identification codes. All identification codes on the four sets of positioning cards are different. The injection positioning holes of the positioning card assembly 3 correspond one-to-one with the injection points on the permissible insulin injection sites of the illustrated assembly 2. The identification codes marked next to the injection positioning holes are identical to the identification codes marked next to their respective injection points. The four sets of positioning cards of the positioning card assembly 3 are placed in the four compartments 11 of the box body 1. Four warning lights 5 and four display screens 6 are provided, fixedly attached to the lower part of the four sides of the square box body 1, with one warning light 5 and one display screen 6 on each side. The electronic control system 8 is equipped with a control module, a power supply, and control buttons. The LEDs 4, warning lights 5, display screen 6, and buzzer 7 are all electrically connected to the electronic control system 8. The electronic control system 8 can preset insulin injection site rotation rules and injection reminder times. The electronic control system 8 can display the injection sites and injection times of insulin to be injected within a certain time period on the display screen 6 according to the rotation rules and reminder times. Before the injection time approaches, the buzzer 7 and a certain warning light 5 are instructed to turn on, and a certain LED 4 is instructed to light up.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 , Figures 7 to 10As shown, the four illustrated pieces of the illustrated piece assembly 2 of this utility model are abdominal piece 21, arm piece 22, leg piece 23 and buttock piece 24. The abdominal piece 21, arm piece 22, leg piece 23 and buttock piece 24 are all colored painted pieces, and the abdominal piece 21, arm piece 22, leg piece 23 and buttock piece 24 are respectively drawn with patterns of the abdomen, arm, leg and buttock of a human body. The abdominal patch 21 has injection sites for insulin injection on the abdomen, arranged in four fan shapes. Each fan-shaped injection site is a section cut from the same elliptical ring, and each fan-shaped injection site has several injection points. The arm patch 22 has injection sites for insulin injection on the upper arms of both arms, and each arm injection site has several injection points. The leg patch 23 has injection sites for insulin injection on the outer sides of both thighs, and each thigh injection site has several injection points. The buttock patch 24 has injection sites for insulin injection on both sides of the buttocks, and each side of the buttocks injection site has several injection points.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the positioning card assembly 3 of this utility model comprises four sets of positioning cards: abdominal card 31, arm card 32, leg card 33, and buttock card 34. Each of these cards is made of flexible plastic or paper, and each has several injection positioning holes for positioning the insulin injection needle. The position and size of the injection positioning holes on each of the abdominal card 31, arm card 32, leg card 33, and buttock card 34 correspond to the actual position and size of the injection points at the corresponding injection sites on the patient, as pre-set. The distance between any two adjacent injection positioning holes on each of the abdominal card 31, arm card 32, leg card 33, and buttock card 34 is not less than 1 cm. The position and size of all injection points on the illustrated assembly 2 are consistent with or proportionally scaled to the position and size of the injection positioning holes on their respective positioning card assemblies 3.
[0031] Before use, the insulin injection site rotation reminder device requires pre-setting the insulin injection site rotation rules and daily injection reminder times in the electronic control system 8. The rotation rules include large and small rotations. Large rotations simply require the injection site to be consistent at the same time each day, while the injection site must be different at different times each day. Small rotations require that the injection point be different each time within the same injection site to avoid repeating the same injection point within a month. During use, the electronic control system 8 will arrange the injection sites and injection points for any time period of the day according to the rotation rules and reminder times, and display the upcoming injection time and injection point on the display screen 6. When an injection time is approaching, the electronic control system 8 will instruct the buzzer 7 and the warning light 5 on the side of the injection point to turn on to remind the patient that the injection time is approaching, and will also instruct the corresponding LED 4 to light up. At this point, by referring to the identification code of the light-emitting lamp bead 4, the injection hole with the same identification code as the light-emitting lamp bead 4 can be quickly found on one of the positioning cards in the positioning card assembly 3. This positioning card is then placed over the corresponding injection site on the patient to locate the injection point. For example, if the identification code for the injection point corresponding to the light-emitting lamp bead 4 is D13 and it is on the buttock patch 24, the positioning card containing the injection hole with the identification code D13 is the left buttock card 34. Simply place this buttock card 34 over the patient's left buttock and inject through the injection hole D13.
[0032] This invention fixes four illustrated sheets, each depicting a different region of the human body, to the four sides of the box body 1. Within each of the illustrated sheets, designated insulin injection sites are drawn, and each site has a uniquely identified injection point. Several LED beads 4 are placed at these injection points. Each of the four positioning cards in the positioning card assembly 3 has several injection positioning holes with identification codes, each corresponding to one of the injection points in the illustrated sheet assembly 2, and the identification codes of these holes are identical to those of their respective injection points. The LED beads 4, warning light 5, display screen 6, and buzzer 7 are electrically connected to the electronic control system 8, which can preset insulin injection times. The device displays the injection site rotation rules and injection reminder times on the screen 6, showing the injection sites and times for insulin injection within a specific time period. Before the injection time approaches, it activates a buzzer 7 and a warning light 5, and illuminates a specific LED 4. Patients can then quickly locate the injection hole on the positioning card assembly 3 by matching the identification code of the LED 4 with the code on the positioning card. This automatic prompting helps patients stay informed about injection times and the specific injection sites and points for each rotation, preventing them from forgetting the injection time and details of each rotation, thus reducing the risk of affecting treatment efficacy.
[0033] The above is only one specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present utility model using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
