Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of head cooling technology, specifically, it relates to a head cooling device. Background Technology

[0002] The human body maintains a constant core temperature through various mechanisms to ensure the normal functioning of all systems. When body temperature rises abnormally, it can affect brain function, the stability of organ systems, and even lead to life-threatening situations. The head is one of the most important parts of the body, especially the brain, which is responsible for controlling various bodily functions. Cooling the head not only helps lower body temperature but also plays a crucial role, particularly in emergency situations, in relieving high brain temperature and reducing pressure on the central nervous system. In some diseases or infections (such as meningitis and cerebral edema), excessively high body temperature can worsen the condition. Using head cooling devices can effectively lower the temperature of brain regions, alleviate symptoms, and even prevent brain damage or coma. Medical research shows that cooling the head can lower body temperature while avoiding the potential side effects of systemic cooling. Head cooling is also commonly used in the treatment of traumatic brain injury. In some brain injury patients, local cooling after trauma can help reduce inflammation and inhibit cell apoptosis, thereby reducing the occurrence of secondary damage.

[0003] Existing cooling methods include applying ice packs or cold compresses directly to the skin. While these methods are effective, they often require manual adjustment and suffer from inconvenience and uneven cooling. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a head cooling device that can solve the problems of existing cooling methods requiring manual adjustment, which are inconvenient and result in uneven cooling.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] This utility model provides a head cooling device, comprising a fixed headband, a waterproof layer, a skin-contact layer, and fixing components. The fixed headband has a ring structure with a Velcro assembly at its interface for adjusting the inner diameter of the fixed headband. The skin-contact layer is located on the side of the fixed headband that contacts the patient's scalp to ensure patient comfort when wearing the device. The waterproof layer is located on the side of the fixed headband away from the skin-contact layer to prevent skin contact with water. Multiple fixing components are located on both sides of the waterproof layer to fix the cooling components to the fixed headband.

[0007] Based on the above technical solution, the head cooling device of this utility model can be further improved as follows:

[0008] The material of the fixed headband, the waterproof layer, and the skin-contact layer is a heat-conducting material, which is used to allow the temperature of the patient's head to be exchanged with that of the cooling component.

[0009] Furthermore, the portion of the headband furthest from the waterproof layer and the skin-contact layer is made of sweat-absorbing material to absorb sweat from the patient's head, thereby increasing the patient's comfort.

[0010] Furthermore, the headband is provided with ventilation holes at a position away from the waterproof layer and the skin-contact layer.

[0011] Furthermore, the Velcro assembly is positioned on the side of the headband corresponding to the patient's head to avoid affecting the patient's ability to lie flat.

[0012] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a fixing strap and a fixing buckle, the fixing strap being disposed on one side of the waterproof layer, and the corresponding fixing buckle being disposed on the other side of the waterproof layer.

[0013] Furthermore, the fixing components include at least three sets, arranged in parallel or perpendicular order and fixed to both sides of the fixing headband corresponding to the waterproof layer.

[0014] Furthermore, the width of the headband is smaller than the width of the forehead.

[0015] Furthermore, the thermally conductive material is one of graphene, thermally conductive silicone, and thermally conductive rubber.

[0016] Furthermore, the cooling component can be a cooling patch, a towel with a temperature lower than skin temperature, etc.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the head cooling device provided by this utility model are:

[0018] The headband features a ring-shaped structure with Velcro fasteners at the interface. The headband is primarily used to secure the cooling device to the patient's head, providing support and stability. The Velcro fasteners allow the inner diameter of the headband to be adjusted according to the patient's head size, ensuring both comfort and stability. This allows the headband to adapt to different head sizes, preventing discomfort caused by being too tight or too loose.

[0019] The skin-contact layer is located on the side of the headband that contacts the patient's scalp. Its purpose is to ensure patient comfort while wearing the headband. This layer is typically made of soft material to prevent friction between the skin and the headband, reducing discomfort or allergic reactions, while also enhancing stability. It acts as a comfortable cushioning layer.

[0020] The waterproof layer is located on the side of the headband away from the skin-contact layer. Its primary function is to prevent direct contact between the scalp and water, avoiding moisture penetration and ensuring dryness. This layer protects the patient's skin from cold water and moisture, maintaining hygiene and comfort during use.

[0021] The securing components, including securing straps and buckles, are typically installed on both sides of the waterproof layer. These components securely fasten cooling devices (such as cooling patches or towels) to the head straps. They ensure stable contact between the cooling material and the head, maximizing cooling effectiveness. The design of the securing components prevents the cooling devices from slipping or shifting, thus maintaining optimal cooling performance.

[0022] The use of thermally conductive materials can accelerate temperature exchange between the patient's head and the cooling device, effectively improving the cooling effect. Materials such as graphene, thermally conductive silicone, or thermally conductive rubber have high thermal conductivity, which can quickly transfer heat from the head to the cooling device, thereby improving the overall cooling efficiency.

[0023] The portion of the headband that is away from the waterproof and skin-contact layers is made of sweat-absorbing material, capable of absorbing sweat from the patient's head. This design enhances patient comfort, especially during prolonged use, reducing discomfort caused by sweat buildup.

[0024] The ventilation holes enhance the headband's breathability, preventing a stuffy or unbreathable feeling on the head caused by prolonged wear. This ventilated design allows air to circulate, further improving wearing comfort.

[0025] The Velcro assembly is positioned on the side of the headband to ensure comfort when the patient is lying down. This design takes into account different patient postures during use, reducing discomfort caused by improper Velcro placement.

[0026] The design of the fixing straps and buckles enhances the secure connection between the cooling components and the headband. The use of multiple fixing components (at least three sets, arranged in parallel or perpendicular directions) ensures the stability of the cooling components on the headband, resulting in a more uniform and continuous cooling effect.

[0027] The width of the headband is smaller than the width of the forehead to ensure that the headband fits the head shape of various patients, avoids pressure on the forehead, and improves the comfort of wearing it. Attached Figure Description
