Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a neck cooling compress device. Background Technology

[0002] Applying ice to the neck is a simple and effective way to relieve localized pain, reduce inflammation and swelling, and is often used to treat neck muscle strains, tension, or discomfort caused by maintaining poor posture for extended periods. By gently applying an ice pack or cold compress to the neck area, blood vessels are constricted, slowing blood flow and thus reducing inflammation and numbness or pain. This method is suitable for the initial treatment of acute injuries.

[0003] In existing technologies, ice packs for the neck are mainly applied using bagged ice. However, it has been found that, firstly, the ice pack is applied by holding it down with the arm, which is not convenient for fixing it to the skin surface or affected area. Secondly, the application time for ice packs on the neck should not be too long, as clinical studies have shown that prolonged application can cause skin damage. Therefore, during the short application period, special care must be taken to ensure that the ice pack adheres to the affected area; otherwise, the effectiveness of the ice pack will be affected, and prolonged application may even cause frostbite to the iced area. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing ice pack devices are not convenient for fixing and controlling temperature, and to propose a neck cold compress device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A neck cooling device includes an arc-shaped outer shell and further includes: a cooler fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the arc-shaped outer shell, wherein the cooling surface of the cooler is in contact with the inner bottom of the arc-shaped outer shell, the top of the arc-shaped outer shell is provided with a heat dissipation part for generating airflow, and arc-shaped elastic strips are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the arc-shaped outer shell; an arc-shaped bag fixedly fastened to the lower end of the arc-shaped outer shell, wherein the arc-shaped bag is filled with a heat-conducting liquid, and the outer wall of the arc-shaped outer shell is provided with an adjustment part for increasing or decreasing the amount of heat-conducting liquid in the arc-shaped bag.

[0007] To facilitate heat dissipation of the cooler, preferably, the heat dissipation part includes an air inlet located in the middle of the upper end of the arc-shaped outer shell, and air outlets are provided on both sides of the upper end of the arc-shaped outer shell.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0030] Example:

[0031] Reference Figures 1-5 This utility model embodiment provides a neck cooling device, including an arc-shaped outer shell 1 and a cooler 4 for cooling, which is fixedly installed at the inner bottom of the arc-shaped outer shell 1. The cooler 4 is a semiconductor cooling chip; generally, when a semiconductor cooling chip is energized, one side heats up while the other side cools down. The semiconductor cooling chip is actually a thin sheet with a compact shape, which will not be described in detail. A heat-conducting plate 9 for improving heat dissipation efficiency is fixedly connected to the heat dissipation surface of the cooler 4, and the heat-conducting plate 9 is arc-shaped.

[0032] The cooling surface of the cooler 4 is attached to the inner bottom of the arc-shaped outer shell 1. The top of the arc-shaped outer shell 1 is provided with a heat dissipation part that generates airflow. The heat dissipation part includes an air inlet 2 located in the middle of the upper end of the arc-shaped outer shell 1. A filter screen 24 for filtering dust in the air is installed in the port of the air inlet 2, and the filter screen 24 is located at the intake end of the cooling fan 5. Both sides of the upper end of the arc-shaped outer shell 1 are provided with exhaust ports 3. The cooling fan 5 is fixedly installed in the air inlet 2. Arc-shaped elastic strips 7 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the arc-shaped outer shell 1. The arc-shaped elastic strips 7 are elastic. An arc-shaped bag 6 made of silicone material is fixedly fastened to the lower end of the arc-shaped outer shell 1. The arc-shaped bag 6 is filled with heat-conducting liquid for heat conduction. The outer wall of the arc-shaped outer shell 1 is provided with an adjustment part for increasing or decreasing the heat-conducting liquid in the arc-shaped bag 6.

[0033] Specifically, when using it, open the two curved elastic strips 7 on both sides, then place the concave surface of the curved outer shell 1 on the neck, that is, place the curved bag 6 on the neck, and then release the two curved elastic strips 7. The two curved elastic strips 7 will elastically return to their original position under the action of elastic force and clamp on the neck, which can quickly complete the fixing of the curved outer shell 1, making it more convenient to use.

[0034] Then, the cooler 4 and the cooling fan 5 are turned on. The cooling surface of the cooler 4 will lower the temperature, and the heat dissipation surface of the cooler 4 will heat up. Thus, the cooler 4 will cool down the arc-shaped outer shell 1, the arc-shaped bag 6 and the heat-conducting liquid that are in contact with it; the arc-shaped bag 6 will cool down the neck that is in contact with it, so that the ice application work on the neck can be completed quickly. The ice application temperature can be quickly and conveniently controlled by the cooler 4, and the ice application effect is better.

[0035] The temperature generated by the cooler 4 is transferred to the heat-conducting fins 9. At this time, the cooling fan 5 draws in air through the air inlet 2 and exhausts it through the air outlet 3. As the air passes through the arc-shaped outer casing 1, the flowing air dissipates heat from the heat-conducting fins 9, which in turn dissipates heat from the heating surface of the cooler 4, ensuring the cooler 4's operating efficiency. The volume of the heat-conducting liquid inside the arc-shaped bag 6 can be adjusted via the adjustment mechanism, allowing the arc-shaped bag 6 to fit more snugly against the neck.

[0036] In practice, to make the entire device more stable, the ends of the two curved elastic strips 7 are also fixedly connected with elastic ribbons 25, and the two ribbons 25 are connected by Velcro. Thus, the ribbons 25, the curved elastic strips 7 and the curved outer shell 1 can be wrapped around the neck, which can improve the overall stability during use.

[0037] The adjustment part of the neck cooling device includes a liquid storage box 10 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped outer shell 1. The bottom of the liquid storage box 10 stores a heat-conducting liquid, which can be water or coolant. A push plate 14 is longitudinally slidably installed inside the liquid storage box 10. A piston plate 15 is installed at the lower end of the push plate 14. The bottom of the liquid storage box 10 has an inner hole 11 extending into the arc-shaped bag 6. A threaded rod 13 is rotatably installed on the top of the liquid storage box 10. An internal threaded tube 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the push plate 14. The lower end of the threaded rod 13 is threadedly connected to the internal threaded tube 12. A handle 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the threaded rod 13.

[0038] Specifically, during use, by rotating the threaded rod 13 with the throttle 22, the internal threaded tube 12 will drive the push plate 14 to move downwards. The push plate 14 will then drive the piston plate 15 to move towards the bottom of the reservoir 10. The heat-conducting liquid at the bottom of the reservoir 10 will then enter the arc-shaped bag 6 through the inner hole 11, causing the arc-shaped bag 6 to expand. When the threaded rod 13 is reversed, the arc-shaped bag 6 will shrink. This allows the arc-shaped bag 6 to fit different neck contours, ensuring a better fit between the arc-shaped bag 6 and the neck, thus guaranteeing the cooling effect on the neck.

[0039] A vertical rod 16 is fixedly connected to the piston plate 15. The vertical rod 16 is slidably mounted on the push plate 14. A limit plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical rod 16. The push plate 14 is provided with a lifting part for driving the piston plate 15 to move up and down. The lifting part includes a slot 21 opened on the push plate 14. A drive motor 19 is fixedly installed in the slot 21. A cam 20 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor 19. The cam 20 is in contact with the upper end face of the piston plate 15. A spring 18 is installed between the limit plate 17 and the push plate 14.

[0040] Specifically, during use, the drive motor 19 is started, which drives the cam 20 to rotate. The cam 20 then indirectly pushes the piston plate 15 downward, causing the piston plate 15 to slide downward indirectly. Under the action of the spring 18, it then slides upward to reset. Thus, the continuously rotating cam 20 drives the piston plate 15 to move up and down within the liquid reservoir 10, causing the arc-shaped bag 6 to change size, thereby achieving a massage effect and further enhancing the ice pack effect.

[0041] The inner bottom of the aforementioned arc-shaped bag 6 is provided with evenly distributed grooves 23. The number of grooves 23 is 12 to 30, and the preferred number in this application is 26. The grooves 23 are circular in shape. Therefore, when the arc-shaped bag 6 expands, the local positions with grooves 23 will protrude more obviously, thereby making the massage effect of the arc-shaped bag 6 better.

[0042] The inner wall of the aforementioned arc-shaped elastic strip 7 is fixedly provided with a silicone pad, and the outer wall of the arc-shaped elastic strip 7 is provided with a ventilation groove 8. The silicone pad will increase the friction of the arc-shaped elastic strip 7, making it less likely for the arc-shaped elastic strip 7 to become misaligned, while the ventilation groove 8 can reduce the stuffiness of the neck caused by the arc-shaped elastic strip 7.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
