Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cap technology, and in particular to a water-fillable ice cap. Background Technology

[0002] Ice caps are a common physical cooling method used clinically, primarily for cooling the head. They reduce brain tissue metabolism, decrease oxygen consumption, alleviate brain cell damage, and prevent cerebral edema. Especially for patients with craniocerebral and spinal cord injuries, long-term, continuous use of ice caps for head cooling is necessary. This can lower the brain's metabolic rate, reduce oxygen consumption, increase hypoxia tolerance, and promote the recovery of brain cell function, thereby improving the cure rate, reducing mortality and disability rates, and improving the patient's quality of life.

[0003] Existing medical ice caps are generally made of rubber and have a double-layered water jacket structure similar in shape to the human head. The inner layer can be filled with water and ice. However, during use, the thick rubber outer shell and the hard ice in the inner layer can easily cause pressure injuries to patients. Furthermore, because patients have higher body temperatures, the alternating hot and cold temperatures can cause water droplets to form where the ice cap touches the skin. These droplets not only cause discomfort but also make the surrounding skin moist, increasing the risk of pressure sores. Additionally, there is a risk of infection for patients with neck wounds, and towels are needed to pad the back of the head and ear areas to prevent frostbite and adverse reactions. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a water-fillable ice cap.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a water-fillable ice cap, including an ice cap body worn on the head, and further including: a water-filling mechanism installed on the top of the ice cap body for filling the ice cap body with water; the interior of the ice cap body has multiple interconnected square chambers with sealed, water-proof corners; a neck slot at the bottom of the ice cap body to expose the neck; a pair of ear slots at the bottom of the ice cap body to expose the ears; a water-absorbing mechanism on the bottom edge of the ice cap body; an elastic mechanism on the water-absorbing mechanism to make the ice cap body suitable for different head sizes; and a strap mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the ice cap body to hold the chin.

[0006] Optionally, the water-absorbing mechanism includes a first absorbent cotton strip fixedly connected inside the neck slot and the bottom of the ice cap body, a second absorbent cotton strip fixedly connected inside the ear slots, and an elastic cotton strip fixedly connected to the bottom of the ice cap body.

[0007] Optionally, the tensioning mechanism includes a connecting rope disposed inside the elastic spool, one end of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the elastic spool, and the other end of which is provided with a buckle mechanism.

[0008] Optionally, one end of the connecting rope near the buckling mechanism is also fixedly connected to a clamping head that engages the buckling mechanism.

[0009] Optionally, the strapping mechanism includes V-shaped flat ropes fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the ice cap body. One top end of the V-shaped flat rope is fixedly connected to a first absorbent cotton strip, and the other top end of the V-shaped flat rope is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ice cap body. An elastic tightening band is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the V-shaped flat rope.

[0010] Optionally, the elastic band has a pad in the middle that fits against the chin.

[0011] Optionally, the water injection mechanism includes a spiral sleeve fixedly connected to the top of the ice cap body, with a water injection chamber fixedly connected to the end of the spiral sleeve away from the ice cap body, and a spiral plug connected to the end of the spiral sleeve away from the ice cap body.

[0012] Optionally, one end of the spiral plug is fixedly connected to a top block, and the end of the top block away from the spiral plug is fixedly connected to a knob.

[0013] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] This invention utilizes a combination of a neck slot, ear slots, a water-absorbing mechanism, and a strapping machine. After the ice cap is filled with water and placed in a freezer to freeze, it is ready for use once the ice has formed the shape of a head. The cap is then secured at the bottom, with openings at the back of the neck and ears. This not only avoids areas contraindicated for cold compresses to prevent frostbite but also ensures a better fit to the head, resulting in improved cooling. Additionally, absorbent cotton strips at the bottom of the ice cap absorb any melted water, preventing discomfort and dampness on the surrounding skin.

[0015] Furthermore, through the design of a water injection mechanism, grid chambers, and an elasticity mechanism, the ice cap features multiple interconnected grid chambers. The four corners of each grid chamber are sealed to prevent water from flowing through, allowing the ice water to circulate and distribute evenly within the cap. A spiral water inlet at the top further enhances the seal. Finally, an elastic drawstring at the bottom allows for adjustment based on head circumference, making the ice cap more comfortable to wear for cooling. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Example

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water-fillable ice cap proposed in this utility model includes an ice cap body 1 worn on the head. The ice cap body 1 is made of thermoplastic polyurethane, which has the elasticity of rubber but is lighter than ordinary rubber and has high flexibility and wear resistance. It also includes a water-filling mechanism installed on the top of the ice cap body 1 to fill the ice cap body 1 with water. The interior of the ice cap body 1 has multiple interconnected square chambers 4 with sealed, water-free corners. The structure of the square chambers 4 forms an integral network, meaning that water can flow between different areas. Furthermore, water within the square chambers 4 can flow through the openings of adjacent cells, ensuring that the water flow path is connected, thus contributing to the uniform distribution of water within the ice cap. Simultaneously, the sealed, water-free corners restrict water loss from these areas, promoting water flow within these squares. This airtight design prevents water leakage and maintains a uniform flow of water inside the ice cap, preventing water accumulation in any area; a neck slot 11 is provided at the bottom of the ice cap body 1 to expose the neck, and a pair of ear slots 12 are also provided at the bottom of the ice cap body 1 to expose the ears; a water absorption mechanism is provided on the bottom edge of the ice cap body 1; an elastic mechanism is provided on the water absorption mechanism to make the ice cap body 1 suitable for different head sizes; and a strap mechanism is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ice cap body 1 to hold the chin.

[0028] Furthermore, the water-absorbing mechanism includes a first absorbent cotton strip 13 fixedly connected inside the neck slot 11 and the bottom of the ice cap body 1, a second absorbent cotton strip 14 fixedly connected inside the ear slot 12, and an elastic cotton strip 15 fixedly connected to the bottom of the ice cap body 1. The first absorbent cotton strip 13, the second absorbent cotton strip 14 and the elastic cotton strip 15 are strips made of cotton and are usually used to absorb water or moisture.

[0029] The tensioning mechanism includes a connecting cord 17 disposed within the elastic band 15. One end of the connecting cord 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the elastic band 15, and the other end of the connecting cord 17 is provided with a buckle mechanism 16. The buckle mechanism 16 is a component used on clothing or hats to adjust the tightness. During operation, it can slide on the connecting cord 17 after being pressed, and can be fixed on the connecting cord 17 after being released, thus fixing the adjusted tightness. A locking head 18 is also fixedly connected to the end of the connecting cord 17 near the locking mechanism 16 to prevent the locking mechanism 16 from detaching from the connecting cord 17.

[0030] Secondly, the strapping mechanism includes V-shaped flat ropes 3 fixedly connected to the outer walls of both sides of the ice cap body 1. One top end of the V-shaped flat rope 3 is fixedly connected to the first absorbent cotton strip 13, and the other top end of the V-shaped flat rope 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ice cap body 1. An elastic band 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the V-shaped flat rope 3. The elastic band 31 is an elastic band, and its function is to make the elastic band 31 adaptable to different chin sizes, ensuring that the elastic band 31 can be fastened on different head chins without being too tight or too loose.

[0031] Furthermore, the water injection mechanism includes a spiral sleeve 2 fixedly connected to the top of the ice cap body 1. A water injection chamber 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the spiral sleeve 2 furthest from the ice cap body 1. The water injection chamber 21 enlarges the inlet at the top of the spiral sleeve 2, functioning similarly to a funnel to ensure no leakage during water injection. A spiral plug 22 is spirally connected to the end of the spiral sleeve 2 furthest from the ice cap body 1. A top block 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the spiral plug 22. A knob 24 is fixedly connected to the end of the top block 23 furthest from the spiral plug 22. The knob 24 makes manually rotating the top block 23 easier and more convenient.

[0032] In this embodiment, when a water-fillable ice cap is required, such as Figure 1As shown, first, manually rotate knob 24 to rotate top block 23 and spiral plug 22 in sequence. Since spiral plug 22 is spirally connected to spiral sleeve 2, spiral plug 22 can be dislodged from the top water inlet 21 of spiral sleeve 2. At this time, water is injected into the ice cap body 1 from spiral sleeve 2 and spiral sleeve 2 is closed. Then, place it in a freezer to freeze. Once ice forms, it can be taken out for use. The neck slot 11 and ear slot 12 are hollowed out, and the neck slot 11 and ear slot 12 are equipped with a first absorbent cotton strip 13 and a second absorbent cotton strip 14 to absorb the melted ice water, thus preventing discomfort caused by the ice water flowing freely and becoming damp. At the same time, the elastic band 31 at the bottom of the ice cap body 1 can be tightened and loosened to bind to the chin, which not only avoids the contraindicated areas of cold compress to prevent frostbite, but also makes the ice cap body 1 fit the head more closely, resulting in better cooling effect. The ice cap body 1 contains multiple interconnected square chambers 4. The four corners of each square chamber 4 are sealed off to prevent water from flowing through, allowing the ice water to circulate and distribute evenly within the chambers. Finally, at the bottom of the ice cap body 1, a pressing buckle mechanism 16 moves the elastic cotton strip 15 along the connecting rope 17, causing the compressed elastic cotton strip 15 to shorten. This provides the bottom of the ice cap body 1 with an adjustable tension, allowing it to fit various head sizes. It can be used repeatedly for extended periods, is easy to operate, and provides long-lasting cooling.
