Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of jaundice treatment technology, and specifically relates to a blue light blocking device for neonatal jaundice treatment. Background Technology
[0002] Neonatal jaundice is a common condition in newborns, caused by abnormal bilirubin metabolism leading to elevated bilirubin levels in the blood, resulting in yellowing of the skin. It is divided into physiological and pathological jaundice, with pathological jaundice requiring timely treatment. Blue light therapy is a simple and effective method. The principle is that bilirubin absorbs blue light with a wavelength of 420-470nm. Under blue light irradiation, the bilirubin molecule changes its structure, changing from a lipid-soluble isomer to a water-soluble isomer, making it easier to excrete from the body, thereby lowering serum bilirubin levels.
[0003] In the current field of neonatal jaundice treatment equipment, medical staff must manually move the blue light blocking device from the side to the top of the treatment box and place it precisely when turning on blue light therapy. This process is not only time-consuming and laborious, but it is also difficult to ensure the stability of the glass cover, and even a slight deviation may injure the newborn. Removing the blue light blocking device before and after treatment is equally cumbersome, requiring careful removal from the top of the treatment box. This is not only inconvenient but also poses a potential risk of injuring the newborn. Furthermore, during long hours of work, medical staff experience significant physical exertion, making them more prone to errors.
[0004] To address the above issues, this application proposes a blue light blocking device for treating neonatal jaundice. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a blue light blocking device for treating neonatal jaundice. By rotating a screw, a sliding block slides up and down inside a guide groove. This allows the blue light blocking glass cover to descend smoothly, covering the treatment box to activate blue light therapy; or, before or after treatment, it to rise smoothly away from the treatment box for convenient subsequent operations. When it is necessary to place or remove the newborn from the treatment box, pushing the blue light blocking glass cover backward allows it to rotate above the treatment box without obstructing the view, providing ample space for medical personnel to easily place or remove the newborn, minimizing the risk of injury, and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A blue light blocking device for treating neonatal jaundice includes: a jaundice treatment mechanism comprising a treatment box, wherein a heating pad is installed inside the treatment box, and a blue light lamp for jaundice treatment is provided above the heating pad; a blue light blocking mechanism comprising a liftable blue light blocking glass cover, wherein two sets of repositioning ports for changing the position of the newborn are provided at the rear of the blue light blocking glass cover, and a set of light-blocking eyebrows for blocking blue light from shining on the eyes of medical staff are respectively installed above one side of the two sets of repositioning ports; an adjustment mechanism comprising a rotating component and a closing component, wherein the rotating component comprises a central circular block, and a movable collar is fitted around the outer side of the central circular block, and the movable collar is connected to the blue light blocking glass cover through a connecting block to realize the rotational adjustment of the blue light blocking glass cover; the closing component comprises a side upright, wherein a guide groove is provided in the side upright, and a sliding frame that can slide up and down is provided in the guide groove, the sliding frame being used to drive the blue light blocking glass cover to rise and fall.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the blue light blocking glass cover is made of optical glass that can effectively block blue light with a wavelength of 420-470nm, and the blue light lamp is installed inside the upper part of the blue light blocking glass cover.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the switching port is fitted with a rubber anti-scratch ring, and the light-shielding eyebrow has a semi-circular structure and is made of an opaque material.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a set of limiting circular plates with a diameter and length greater than that of the movable collar are respectively installed on the upper and lower sides of the central circular block, and the two sets of limiting circular plates are respectively fixedly connected to the sliding frame.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a limiting block is installed on one side of the movable collar, and one side of the limiting block contacts the side upright to limit the rotation of the movable collar.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a rotating screw is installed in the guide groove, and the rotating screw is threadedly connected to the sliding frame. A drive motor is installed above the side support, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the rotating screw.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a base is installed below the treatment box, and a side support is fixed on one side of the base. A temperature controller is installed on one side of the base. The heating pad is composed of a middle heating wire layer, a bottom polyurethane foam insulation layer, and an upper silicone protective layer. The temperature controller is connected to the heating wire layer to achieve temperature control.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, multiple sets of through holes are provided on the lower sides of the treatment box for cables for infusion tubes or electrocardiogram monitoring to pass through the treatment box.
[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. By designing a blue light blocking mechanism, a blue light blocking glass cover can be placed over the treatment box during treatment. Once the blue light lamp inside the box is turned on, it emits blue light of a specific wavelength (420-470nm) to treat neonatal jaundice. This blue light blocking glass cover has the ability to block blue light of the 420-470nm wavelength, effectively preventing blue light from escaping and providing a reliable protective barrier for medical staff. Throughout the treatment process, medical staff can observe the real-time status of the newborn inside the treatment box through the blue light blocking glass cover, including changes in facial color, respiratory rate, and subtle body movements. They can also monitor the newborn's position, facilitating timely assessment of the treatment effect and the newborn's health. When it is necessary to change the newborn's irradiation position to ensure even blue light irradiation of all parts of the body, medical staff only need to wear professional blue light blocking gloves and reach into the box through the repositioning port at the back of the blue light blocking glass cover to adjust the newborn's position. The light-shielding eyebrows designed above the switching port can block the blue light scattering upwards from the switching port, preventing the blue light from shining directly into the eyes of medical staff and protecting their eyes.
[0017] 2. The design of the adjustment mechanism enhances the ease of use of the neonatal jaundice treatment equipment. This mechanism consists of a rotating component and a cover assembly working together. When the rotating screw rotates, it causes the sliding block to slide up and down inside the guide groove. This allows the blue light blocking glass cover to descend smoothly, covering the treatment box to activate blue light therapy; or, before or after treatment, it to rise smoothly away from the treatment box for easier subsequent operations. When it is necessary to place or remove the newborn from the treatment box, pushing the blue light blocking glass cover backward causes the movable ring to rotate outside the central block, allowing the blue light blocking glass cover to rotate above the treatment box without obstructing the view above the box. This provides ample space for medical staff to easily place or remove the newborn from the treatment box, minimizing the risk of injury. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown: A blue light blocking device for neonatal jaundice treatment includes: a jaundice treatment mechanism, including a treatment box 1, a heating pad 3 installed inside the treatment box 1, and a blue light lamp 55 for jaundice treatment above the heating pad 3; and a blue light blocking mechanism 5, including a liftable blue light blocking glass cover 51, with two sets of changing ports 52 for changing the position of the newborn opened at the rear of the blue light blocking glass cover 51, and a set of light-blocking eyebrows 54 for blocking blue light from shining on the eyes of medical staff installed on one side of each of the two sets of changing ports 52. The adjustment mechanism includes a rotating component 7 and a cover component 6. The rotating component 7 includes a central circular block 75, and a movable collar 72 is sleeved on the outside of the central circular block 75. The movable collar 72 is connected to the anti-blue light glass cover 51 through a connecting block 71 to realize the rotation adjustment of the anti-blue light glass cover 51. The cover component 6 includes a side upright 61, and a guide groove 63 is opened in the side upright 61. A sliding frame 64 that can slide up and down is provided in the guide groove 63. The sliding frame 64 is used to drive the anti-blue light glass cover 51 to rise and fall.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4As shown: the blue light blocking glass cover 51 is made of optical glass that can effectively block blue light with a wavelength of 420-470nm, and the blue light lamp 55 is installed inside the upper part of the blue light blocking glass cover 51.
[0028] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown: The inner wall of the transfer port 52 is equipped with a rubber anti-scratch ring 53, and the light-blocking eyebrow 54 has a semi-circular structure and is made of opaque material. The rubber anti-scratch ring 53 is soft in texture. The anti-scratch ring 53 can prevent medical staff from being scratched or chafed by the edge of the transfer port 52 when they reach into the treatment box 1 through the transfer port 52, thus providing safety protection for medical staff.
[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown: A set of limiting circular plates 74 with a diameter and length greater than the movable collar 72 are installed on the upper and lower sides of the central circular block 75, and the two sets of limiting circular plates 74 are fixedly connected to the sliding frame 64 respectively.
[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown: A limit block 73 is installed on one side of the movable collar 72, and one side of the limit block 73 contacts the side upright 61 to limit the rotation of the movable collar 72.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown: A rotating screw 65 is installed in the guide groove 63, and the rotating screw 65 is connected to the sliding frame 64 by a thread. A drive motor 62 is installed above the side upright 61, and the output shaft of the drive motor 62 is fixedly connected to the rotating screw 65.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown: A base 2 is installed below the treatment box 1, and a side support 61 is fixed to one side of the base 2. A temperature controller 4 is installed on one side of the base 2. The heating pad 3 is composed of a middle heating wire layer, a bottom polyurethane foam insulation layer, and an upper silicone protective layer. The temperature controller 4 is connected to the heating wire layer to achieve temperature control. The middle heating wire layer of the heating pad 3 converts electrical energy into heat energy to provide heat for the newborn to maintain body temperature. The bottom polyurethane foam insulation layer prevents heat from escaping to the bottom of the treatment box 1, improves heating efficiency, and protects other components at the bottom of the box. The upper silicone protective layer is soft and non-toxic, providing a comfortable contact surface for the newborn and preventing the newborn from being harmed by leakage from the heating wire layer. The temperature controller 4 is connected to the heating wire layer and can accurately control the temperature of the heating pad 3 to ensure that the newborn is in a suitable temperature environment.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, multiple sets of through holes 8 are provided on the lower sides of the treatment box 1 for infusion tubes or ECG monitoring cables to pass through. When performing phototherapy for jaundice in newborns, some newborns may require simultaneous intravenous infusion to supplement nutrition, fluids, or medication, or require real-time monitoring of vital signs via ECG monitoring equipment. The through holes 8 allow infusion tubes and ECG monitoring cables to smoothly pass from the outside of the treatment box 1 into the inside and connect to the newborn, thus ensuring the normal operation of infusion and ECG monitoring without affecting phototherapy.
[0034] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0035] In actual use, medical staff push the blue light blocking glass cover 51, causing the connecting block 71 to rotate the movable collar 72 along the outer side of the central circular block 75. This allows the blue light blocking glass cover 51 to rotate to a position away from the treatment box 1. At this point, medical staff can place the newborn into the treatment box 1. After proper placement, the blue light blocking glass cover 51 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing the movable collar 72 to simultaneously rotate the limiting block 73 until the limiting block 73 is in close contact with the side upright 61, thus aligning the blue light blocking glass cover 51 with the treatment box 1. Next, the drive motor 62 is started, driving the rotating screw 65 to rotate. The rotating screw 65, based on the threaded transmission principle, drives the sliding frame 64 to smoothly slide and descend along the guide groove 63. As the sliding frame 64 descends, the central block 75 descends via the limiting circular plate 74. Because the movable collar 72 is confined between the two sets of limiting circular plates 74, this series of coordinated actions causes the blue light blocking glass cover 51 to descend until it covers the treatment box 1. The blue light lamp 55 is then turned on to begin jaundice treatment for the newborn. Throughout the blue light irradiation treatment, the blue light blocking glass cover 51 has excellent blocking capabilities for blue light with wavelengths of 420-470nm, effectively preventing blue light from escaping and providing a reliable protective barrier for medical personnel standing in front of the treatment box 1, ensuring their eye health. Medical personnel can observe the real-time status of the newborn inside the treatment box 1 through the blue light blocking glass cover 51, allowing for timely assessment and adjustments.
[0036] When the newborn's position needs to be changed during treatment to ensure even blue light irradiation of all parts of the body, medical staff wear professional blue light blocking gloves and reach into the enclosure through the switching port 52 at the rear of the blue light blocking glass cover 51. Above the switching port 52, a light-shielding eyebrow 54 is specially designed to block the blue light scattering upwards from the switching port 52 during operation, preventing blue light from shining into the medical staff's eyes. After treatment, the blue light lamp 55 is turned off first, and then the drive motor 62 reverses, driving the rotating screw 65 to rotate in the opposite direction. Following the reverse steps, the blue light blocking glass cover 51 is raised smoothly. Once the blue light blocking glass cover 51 has risen to a certain height, it is pushed again to rotate it away from the treatment box 1. At this point, the medical staff can take the newborn out of the treatment box 1. This design effectively avoids the blue light blocking glass cover 51 obstructing the treatment box 1 and prevents accidental impact to the blue light blocking glass cover 51 when taking the newborn out.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
