Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine instrument technology, specifically a device for fixing a herbal hot compress for the ear. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hot compresses for the ear are a common heat therapy in TCM nursing. Traditional methods rely on the patient manually fixing the compress or maintaining a specific position (such as lying flat), leading to the following problems: the patient's hands cannot move freely, resulting in low comfort; prolonged fixation can easily cause fatigue. Currently, most TCM hot compresses on the market use a strap-on method for fixation. For example, Chinese utility model application CN217091790U discloses an improved TCM hot compress fixation device. The device includes a vest worn by the user, with a placement component for the hot compress on the back. A connecting part is provided between the placement component and the vest, allowing the placement component to be adjusted vertically, horizontally, and vertically, so that the hot compress is positioned directly opposite the user's Du meridian after fixation. The placement component includes a connecting block, with an array of vertically arranged placement bags on one side for holding the hot compress. However, this strap-on fixation method has the following drawbacks when fixing TCM hot compresses for the ear:
[0003] This type of bandage fixation is difficult to fit snugly to the head and is prone to slipping. Furthermore, the hot compress can compress the ear, causing discomfort and affecting the treatment effect.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a device for fixing a herbal hot compress on the ear to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] 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.
[0020] Example 1:
[0021] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: an ear herbal hot compress fixation device, including a nylon flexible head pressure plate 1, a sleeve block 11 fixedly connected to the top surface of the nylon flexible head pressure plate 1, the sleeve block 11 fixedly connected to the middle of the arc-shaped slide rail 2, two sliding sleeves 21 slidably connected to both sides of the arc-shaped slide rail 2, two elastic plates 22 fixedly connected to one end of the two sliding sleeves 21 away from each other, and two ear fixing components 3 provided at the ends of the two elastic plates 22.
[0022] The ear fixation component 3 includes a C-shaped ear clip 31, with a C-shaped silicone pad 32 fixed to one side of the C-shaped ear clip 31. A mounting plate 33 is fixed to the inner side of the C-shaped ear clip 31 away from the C-shaped silicone pad 32. A heat pack carrier bag 34 is provided on the side wall of the mounting plate 33. The ear fixation component 3 is used to carry the heat pack, and the sliding sleeve 21 can slide and adjust its position on the arc-shaped slide rail 2. This changes the distance between the two ear fixation components 3 to accommodate patients with different head circumferences. After wearing, the elastic plate 22 makes the C-shaped silicone pad 32 fit against the back of the ear to achieve fixation. The force is applied at the contact point between the back of the ear and the C-shaped silicone pad 32, so the ear is not subjected to excessive pressure, making it more comfortable to wear and beneficial to treatment.
[0023] Example 2:
[0024] Please see Figure 1-3This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Based on the previous embodiment, the mounting plate 33 is fixed to the side wall of the hook and loop fastener layer 37, and the hot pack carrier bag 34 is fixed to the side wall of the hook and loop fastener layer 38. The hook and loop fastener layer 38 is bonded to the hook and loop fastener layer 37. An L-shaped opening 35 is provided on the upper edge of the C-shaped ear clip 31 away from the C-shaped silicone pad 32. The bottom end of the L-shaped opening 35 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the L-shaped rotating frame 36. The top surface of the L-shaped rotating frame 36 is fixed to the end of the elastic plate 22. The C-shaped ear clip 31 is fixed by rotating the L-shaped rotating frame 36, so that the C-shaped silicone pad 32 on the C-shaped ear clip 31 will fit better behind the ear.
[0025] Two arc grooves 23 are opened on the top surface of both sides of the arc-shaped slide rail 2. An arc toothed plate 24 is fixed to the bottom surface of each arc groove 23. A slot 25 is opened on the top surface of the slide sleeve 21. A horizontal shaft 26 is fixed to the slot 25. The horizontal shaft 26 is rotatably sleeved to one end of the rotating plate 27. A toothed block 28 is fixed to the bottom surface of the other end of the rotating plate 27. The toothed block 28 is located outside the slide sleeve 21 and is engaged in any toothed groove on the arc toothed plate 24.
[0026] A torsion spring 210 is provided at the rotatable connection between the rotating plate 27 and the horizontal shaft 26. The end of the rotating plate 27 away from the locking tooth block 28 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 29. Pressing the pressing plate 29 can cause the rotating plate 27 to tilt up, causing the locking tooth block 28 to move away from the position of the arc-shaped tooth plate 24. This allows the sliding sleeve 21 to change the position of the ear fixing component 3. After releasing the pressing plate 29, under the action of the torsion spring 210, the locking tooth block 28 is engaged in the tooth groove of the arc-shaped tooth plate 24, fixing the position of the ear fixing component 3.
[0027] The hot-filled bag carrier 34 has a zipper 310 on its side wall, and a zipper head 311 on the zipper 310. Multiple anti-slip protrusions 312 are fixed to the surface of the C-shaped silicone pad 32. Multiple ventilation holes 39 are opened on the mounting plate 33. The hot-filled bag carrier 34 is used to hold hot-filled bags and is made of high-temperature resistant material.
[0028] The bottom surface of the nylon flexible head pressure plate 1 is fixed with the memory foam layer 12, and the side wall of the arc-shaped slide rail 2 is provided with scale lines 211. When adjusting the position of the slide sleeve 21, observe the scale lines 211 for assistance.
[0029] Example 3:
[0030] Please see Figure 1-3This is the third embodiment of the present invention, based on the above two embodiments. When using this invention, the hot pack is placed inside the hot pack carrier bag 34, and then the zipper pull 311 is pulled up to close it. The hot pack carrier bag 34 is then attached to the mounting plate 33 using Velcro. The position of the ear fixation component 3 is then adjusted by pressing the pressing plate 29 to fit the patient's head circumference. The two ear fixation components 3 are then slightly pulled to the sides and worn on the patient's head. The C-shaped silicone pad 32 should fit snugly behind the patient's ear. This invention uses the ear fixation components 3 to support the hot pack, and the sliding sleeve 21 can slide on the arc-shaped slide rail 2 to adjust its position. This changes the distance between the two ear fixation components 3, adapting to patients with different head circumferences. After wearing, the elastic plate 22's elasticity allows the C-shaped silicone pad 32 to fit snugly behind the ear, achieving fixation. The force is applied at the contact point between the back of the ear and the C-shaped silicone pad 32, preventing excessive pressure on the ear and making the wearing more comfortable and beneficial for treatment.
[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
