Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a dehydration device, specifically a dehydration device for a hot compress towel. Background Technology

[0002] Hot compresses with traditional Chinese medicine towels are widely used in traditional Chinese medicine departments, suitable for pain in the neck, shoulders, waist, legs, and joints. To use, add sufficient water to a steamer, then place the herbal bag and towel inside. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and maintain boiling for 10-15 minutes, allowing the towel to absorb the medicinal components. Afterward, remove the heated towel with a tool, wring it until semi-dry, and then apply it as a hot compress. However, wringing the towel dry is usually done manually, which easily burns the staff's hands, even with gloves. Furthermore, when there are many towels, wringing them dry individually is very physically demanding, reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a hot compress towel dehydration device that can dehydrate multiple towels at the same time, which can improve the work efficiency of workers and effectively prevent workers' hands from being burned.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A towel dehydration device for hot compress includes a dehydration tank, a pressure plate, a pressure rod, and a hinge. The dehydration tank has an opening at the top, and at least two towels can be placed inside. The bottom wall of the dehydration tank has multiple drainage holes. The pressure plate is placed inside the dehydration tank, and its lower surface is used to squeeze the towels. The upper surface of the pressure plate has a first horizontal bar and two first vertical bars, which support the first horizontal bar above the pressure plate. The front end of the pressure rod is connected to the upper surface of the front end of the dehydration tank via a hinge, and its rear end extends to the rear end of the dehydration tank. After the rear end of the pressure rod rotates, its rod body contacts the first horizontal bar and presses down on the pressure plate.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0007] The hot compress towel dehydration device provided by this utility model clamps and flattens multiple heated towels in a dehydration tank. Then, a pressure plate is placed on top of the towels. The operator rotates the pressure rod so that the rod body contacts the first horizontal bar. Then, the operator continues to press down on the rear end of the pressure rod, causing the pressure plate to move down and squeeze the towels. After the towels are squeezed by the pressure plate, the medicinal liquid inside flows out from the drain hole, thereby achieving the purpose of dehydrating multiple towels. Compared with wringing dry by hand, it not only improves the work efficiency of the operator, but also effectively avoids the operator's hands being burned. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will now be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present invention made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the hot compress towel dehydration device of this embodiment includes a dehydration box 1, a pressure plate 2, a pressure rod 3, and a hinge 4.

[0022] The dehydration box 1 is a hollow square structure with an open top. At least two towels can be placed inside the dehydration box 1. The bottom wall of the dehydration box 1 is provided with multiple drainage holes 11.

[0023] A pressure plate 2 is installed inside the dehydration tank 1. The shape of the pressure plate 2 is the same as the shape of the opening of the dehydration tank 1, and the area of ​​the pressure plate 2 is slightly smaller than the area of ​​the opening of the dehydration tank 1. The lower surface of the pressure plate 2 is used to squeeze the towel. The upper surface of the pressure plate 2 is provided with a first horizontal bar 5 and two first vertical bars 6. The two first vertical bars 6 support the first horizontal bar 5 above the pressure plate 2. In this embodiment, the first horizontal bar 5 is arranged in the middle of the pressure plate 2 parallel to the width direction of the dehydration tank 1. One end of the first vertical bar 6 is connected to the end of the first horizontal bar 5, and the other end is perpendicularly connected to the upper surface of the pressure plate 2.

[0024] The front end of the pressure rod 3 is connected to the upper surface of the front end of the dehydration tank 1 via a hinge 4. The upper surface of the front end of the dehydration tank 1 is the upper surface of one of the short sides of the dehydration tank 1. The other end of the pressure rod 3 extends to the rear end of the dehydration tank 1. After the rear end of the pressure rod 3 is rotated, its rod body contacts the first crossbar 5 and presses down on the pressure plate 2. To facilitate the rotation of the pressure rod 3, a handle 31 is provided at the rear end of the pressure rod 3.

[0025] In use, the dehydration tank 1 is suspended on a container / device, such as a water tank, that can collect / process the liquid, so that there is a gap between the bottom wall of the dehydration tank 1 and the surface holding the liquid. Several heated towels are clamped and placed flat in the dehydration tank 1. Then, the pressure plate 2 is placed on top of the towels. The operator rotates the pressure rod 3 so that the rod body of the pressure rod 3 contacts the rod body of the first crossbar 5. Then, the operator continues to press down on the rear end of the pressure rod 3, causing the pressure plate 2 to move down and squeeze the towels. After the towels are squeezed by the pressure plate 2, the liquid in them flows out from the drain hole 11, thereby achieving the purpose of dehydrating multiple towels. Compared with wringing them out by hand, this method not only improves the work efficiency of the operator but also effectively avoids the operator's hands being burned.

[0026] The hot compress towel dehydration device of this embodiment also includes multiple insert plates 7. The bottom wall of the dehydration tank 1 is provided with multiple slots 12 spaced apart along its length. Each slot 12 extends from one side of the dehydration tank 1 to the other side along the width direction of the dehydration tank. The insert plates 7 can be inserted into any one of the slots 12. In use, four insert plates 7 are used, with two insert plates 7 inserted into two slots 12 at one end of the dehydration tank 1 and the other two insert plates 7 inserted into two slots 12 at the other end of the dehydration tank 1. The gap between two insert plates 7 is used to insert into the tank walls on both sides of the water tank, so that the dehydration tank 1 is not easy to slip into the water tank during use. At the same time, by inserting the insert plates 7 into different slots 12, the size of the gap between two insert plates 7 can be adjusted.

[0027] In addition, the hot compress towel dehydration device of this embodiment also includes multiple support columns 8, and the bottom wall of the dehydration box 1 is provided with multiple fixing slots 13. The support column 8 can be inserted into any one of the fixing slots 13. When in use, the support column 8 can be inserted into the fixing slot 13, and then the dehydration box 1 can be placed directly into the water tank. In this way, it is not necessary to suspend the dehydration box 1 on the water tank. Under the action of the support column 8, there is a gap between the bottom wall of the dehydration box 1 and the surface of the water tank.

[0028] The side wall of the dehydration tank 1 in this embodiment is provided with a receiving groove 14 for placing the insert plate 7 and the support column 8. The user can take the insert plate 7 and the support column 8 as needed, and place them in the receiving groove 14 when not in use.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figures 8 to 10 As shown, unlike Embodiment 1, the hot compress towel dehydration device in this embodiment also has a second horizontal bar 9, a third horizontal bar 10, two second vertical bars 20, and two third vertical bars 30 on the upper surface of the pressure plate 2. The second horizontal bar 9 and the third horizontal bar 10 are located on both sides of the first horizontal bar 5, and the second horizontal bar 9 is close to the hinge 4, that is, the second horizontal bar 9 is located on the side of the first horizontal bar 5 that is close to the hinge 4. The second horizontal bar 9 is supported above the pressure plate 2 by two second vertical bars 20, and the third horizontal bar 10 is supported above the pressure plate 2 by two third vertical bars 30. The heights of the second horizontal bar 9, the first horizontal bar 5, and the third horizontal bar 10 increase sequentially. The connection method between the second horizontal bar 9 and the second vertical bar 20, and the connection method between the third horizontal bar 10 and the third vertical bar 30 are the same as the connection method between the first horizontal bar 5 and the first vertical bar 6. The purpose of setting the second horizontal bar 9 and the third horizontal bar 10 is that after rotating the pressure bar 3, the bar body of the pressure bar 3 can contact the bar bodies of the first horizontal bar 5, the second horizontal bar 9, and the third horizontal bar 10, so that the plate surface of the pressure plate 2 has more stress points in the length direction and the stress is more dispersed.

[0031] In addition, the hot compress towel dehydration device of this embodiment also includes a branch rod 40 and a connecting rod 50. A branch rod 40 parallel to the pressure rod 3 is provided on both sides of the pressure rod 3. The two ends of the branch rod 40 are connected to the body of the pressure rod 3 through the connecting rod 50. By setting the branch rod 40, the surface of the pressure plate 2 can have more force points in the width direction, and the force is more dispersed.

[0032] In this way, by applying as much pressure as possible to the towels in each corner below the pressure plate 2, the medicine can be squeezed out of the towels.
