Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a sign. Background Technology

[0002] In healthcare settings, status labels for medical equipment are crucial tools for ensuring safe and efficient equipment use and management. These labels allow healthcare professionals to quickly identify the current operating status of the equipment, such as normal operation, malfunction / out of service, or under maintenance, thereby preventing misuse, ensuring patient safety, and improving diagnostic and treatment efficiency. These labels typically require clear information display, a stable physical structure, and rapid response capabilities to status changes to meet the real-time and reliability demands of healthcare environments.

[0003] Existing medical device status labels have significant drawbacks: First, when frequent status changes are required, the adjustment process is time-consuming, making it difficult to meet the rapid response needs of emergency medical scenarios. Second, the labels lack accidental touch prevention designs; medical staff or patients may accidentally touch the labels while operating the equipment, leading to incorrect modification of the status information and potentially causing equipment usage risks or management chaos. These issues limit the applicability and safety of existing technologies in medical environments. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides an identification sign, the main purpose of which is to solve the technical problems of existing medical device status identification signs being unable to meet the rapid response needs in emergency medical scenarios and lacking anti-accidental touch design.

[0005] This application provides a sign, including:

[0006] substrate;

[0007] A connector, one end of which is connected to the substrate;

[0008] The display panel is connected to the other end of the connector;

[0009] A magnet, wherein the magnet portion is disposed on the substrate and the magnet portion is disposed on the display panel.

[0010] In one feasible implementation, the substrate has a through hole in the middle that matches the shape of the connector.

[0011] In one feasible implementation, the display panel has a through hole in the middle that matches the shape of the connector.

[0012] In one feasible implementation, the connector is a detachable structure with snap fasteners at both ends, and the connector is connected to the substrate and the display panel through the snap fasteners.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the display panel can rotate about the connector.

[0014] In one feasible implementation, the display panel includes:

[0015] The display area is made of a transparent material;

[0016] The obstruction area is connected to the display area.

[0017] In one feasible implementation, the magnet comprises:

[0018] The substrate magnet is two;

[0019] The display panel magnet is one in number.

[0020] In one feasible implementation, the display panel magnet is disposed on the shielding area.

[0021] In one feasible implementation, the positions of the two substrate magnets are symmetrical along the connector.

[0022] In one feasible implementation, the substrate magnet is located within the projected area of ​​the display panel magnet.

[0023] This application provides a sign, comprising: a substrate; a connector, one end of which is connected to the substrate; a display panel, the other end of which is connected to the connector; and a magnet, the magnet portion being disposed on the substrate and the magnet portion being disposed on the display panel. This application achieves rapid status switching through a display panel that can rotate around the connector, significantly improving response efficiency in medical emergency scenarios. Simultaneously, it utilizes the magnetic attraction between two symmetrical substrate magnets disposed on the substrate and one display panel magnet disposed in the display panel's shielding area: when the display panel rotates to the target position, its magnet instantly attracts and positions itself with the corresponding substrate magnet, ensuring stable status display. This magnetic attraction structure and the design of the magnet's position in the shielding area require overcoming a large torque generated by the magnetic attraction when rotating the display panel, effectively preventing accidental touches by medical personnel or patients from causing incorrect status information changes, greatly enhancing the ability to prevent accidental touches. This design, while achieving rapid status changes and providing reliable anti-accidental touch functionality, also boasts advantages such as simple structure, stable positioning, and ease of maintenance, significantly improving the safety and efficiency of medical equipment management.

[0024] Other features and advantages of this application will be set forth in the description which follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the application.

[0035] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application 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 application.

[0036] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0037] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0038] In the healthcare industry, especially in high-intensity, high-time-sensitivity clinical environments such as emergency rooms, operating rooms, and ICUs, the operational status management of medical equipment is crucial. Medical staff need to instantly determine equipment availability, such as whether it is functioning normally, malfunctioning, undergoing sterilization, or under maintenance. Any delays or errors in information can lead to treatment delays or even endanger patient lives. Simultaneously, the high frequency of personnel movement and confined operating spaces in medical settings make equipment labels highly susceptible to accidental touches or displacement due to rapid staff movement or patient contact, resulting in inaccurate status information. This not only increases the risk of equipment misuse but also exacerbates management chaos and inefficient equipment scheduling. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of label that can achieve rapid status switching to adapt to emergency response needs and possesses strong anti-accidental touch capabilities to ensure stable and reliable status information, meeting the stringent requirements of modern medical environments for efficient, safe, and reliable equipment management.

[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram illustrates the structure of a sign provided in an embodiment of this application, including:

[0040] substrate1;

[0041] Connector 2, one end of connector 2 is connected to substrate 1;

[0042] Display panel 3 is connected to the other end of connector 2;

[0043] The magnet is located on the substrate 1 and the display panel 3.

[0044] In the above embodiments, in the sign construction of this application, the substrate 1 is fixed to the surface of the target device as the main support structure. The connector 2 acts as a core pivot element, with one end firmly connected to the substrate 1. The display panel 3 is reliably connected to the opposite end of the connector 2, allowing the display panel 3 to move relative to the substrate 1. Magnets are respectively fixed at predetermined positions on the substrate 1 and predetermined positions on the display panel 3, achieving specific functional requirements through the magnetic interaction between the two.

[0045] This basic structure lays the foundation for the core functionality of the entire signage. By placing magnetic components on both the base plate 1 and the display panel 3, a magnetic coupling system is constructed between the components. This design provides the physical basis for the subsequent precise positioning and reliable fixation of the display panel 3, especially enabling the core function of quickly switching device states by rotating the display panel 3 and automatically locking it in place using magnetic attraction. This meets the core requirements of clear status identification and convenient adjustment in medical device management, while also laying the groundwork for enhanced protection against accidental touches. Compared to simple rotating signs without magnetic positioning, this cross-panel magnetic configuration significantly improves the accuracy and stability of positioning after state switching.

[0046] See Figure 2 and Figure 4 The diagram shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the substrate provided in the embodiment of this application. Further, the substrate 1 has a through hole in the middle that matches the shape of the connector 2.

[0047] In the above embodiment, a through opening of a specific shape is provided in the central region of the substrate 1. The design size and contour of the opening are configured to just accommodate and stably connect a part of the connector 2, so that the connector 2 can be firmly embedded therein.

[0048] The through-hole design provides a precise installation position and reliable support for connector 2, ensuring the overall structural strength and stability of connector 2 after it is combined with substrate 1. This lays the physical foundation for the smooth rotation of display panel 3 and prevents the overall functional reliability of the sign from being affected by loose connections during use.

[0049] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 The diagram shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the display panel provided in the embodiment of this application. Further, the display panel 3 has a through hole in the middle that matches the shape of the connector 2.

[0050] In the above embodiment, a through hole is also provided in the center of the display panel 3. The shape and size of this hole are set to match the shape of the corresponding end of the connector 2 so that the other end of the connector 2 can be reliably inserted and fixed therein.

[0051] In conjunction with the through-hole in the substrate 1, the connector 2 and the display panel 3 are securely connected, ensuring that the display panel 3 can rotate around the connector 2 as a stable and reliable axis of rotation. This matching through-hole design effectively reduces radial wobble during rotation, improving the smoothness of the rotation process and the feel of operation.

[0052] Furthermore, the connector 2 is a detachable structure with snap fasteners at both ends, and the connector 2 is connected to the substrate 1 and the display panel 3 through the snap fasteners.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the connector 2 is designed to be detachable from its two ends. Each end has a protrusion or similar sub-buckle, which can be detachably engaged with corresponding female buckle structures or slots located at the edges of the through holes in the middle of the substrate 1 and the display panel 3 by means of snapping, twisting, or locking.

[0054] This snap-fit ​​detachable connection method greatly facilitates the assembly, disassembly, and maintenance of the various components of the sign. When it is necessary to replace the display panel 3, the maintenance base plate 1, or the connector 2 itself, the operation can be completed quickly and conveniently, reducing maintenance difficulty and time costs, and improving the product's service life and maintainability.

[0055] Furthermore, the display panel 3 can rotate around the connector 2.

[0056] In the above embodiments, based on the aforementioned fixed connection with the connector 2, the entire display panel 3 has the freedom to rotate around the central axis of the connector 2, allowing it to be angled in a plane parallel to the substrate 1.

[0057] This is the core mechanism for achieving rapid switching of status information. Users only need to apply a slight external force to the display panel 3 to rotate it, which will quickly switch the status of the sign from one to another. This rotation action is extremely simple and quick, without the need to disassemble parts or perform complex operations, making it perfectly suited to the needs of situations with extremely high requirements for response speed, such as medical emergency, and significantly improving the efficiency of status change.

[0058] See Figure 5 This illustration shows a structural diagram of the display area and the blocking area provided in an embodiment of this application. Further, the display panel 3 includes:

[0059] Display area 31, which is made of transparent material;

[0060] The obstruction area 32 is connected to the display area 31.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the display panel 3 is divided into two functional areas: a display area 31 and a blocking area 32. The display area 31 is made of a material with good light transmittance, such as transparent or translucent plastic or glass, allowing the user to clearly see the area behind it. The blocking area 32 is usually made of an opaque material and is closely connected to the display area 31 to form an integral display panel 3 structure.

[0062] The transparent display area 31 allows status cards to be flexibly placed behind the display panel 3 and observed through this area, facilitating customized information display and replacement. The obscuring area 32 provides structural support and a non-transparent function. This partitioned design enhances the diversity, flexibility, and aesthetics of the signage's information display.

[0063] Furthermore, magnets include:

[0064] Substrate magnet 4, the quantity of substrate magnet 4 is two;

[0065] Display panel magnet 5, the quantity of display panel magnet 5 is one.

[0066] In the above embodiment, the magnet assembly includes two permanent magnet substrate magnets 4 embedded or fixedly mounted on the substrate 1 and a permanent magnet display panel magnet 5 embedded or fixedly mounted on the display panel 3. The positions of the two magnets on the substrate 1 are relatively fixed.

[0067] The core positioning and status maintenance system of the sign consists of a display panel magnet 5 and two fixed-position substrate magnets 4. This design utilizes the attraction between magnets to automatically align and stably lock the display panel 3 when it rotates to a specific preset position through magnetic attraction.

[0068] Furthermore, the display panel magnet 5 is located on the shielding area 32.

[0069] In the above embodiment, the display panel magnet 5 installed on the display panel 3 is specially arranged and fixed within the shielding area 32.

[0070] Placing the magnet in the shielded area 32, rather than at the edge of the display panel 3, means that the force applied to the edge of the display panel 3 needs to overcome a larger lever torque to rotate it. This arrangement significantly enhances the ability to prevent accidental touches, because the torsional torque generated by accidental slight touches, such as clothing brushing against the edge of the display panel 3 or hands rubbing against it while operating the equipment, is usually insufficient to overcome the resistive torque generated by the magnetic attraction, thus effectively reducing the risk of the state being accidentally changed.

[0071] See Figure 2 and Figure 6 The diagram shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the substrate magnet provided in the embodiment of this application. Furthermore, the positions of the two substrate magnets 4 are symmetrical along the connector 2.

[0072] In the above embodiment, the two substrate magnets 4 fixed on the substrate 1 are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the connector 2 in spatial layout.

[0073] This symmetrical arrangement ensures that when the display panel 3 is rotated to each target angular position, such as the two positions representing "normal" and "fault," the display panel magnet 5 is precisely directly above a substrate magnet 4, thereby generating a stable magnetic locking force under the most favorable conditions. The symmetrical structure guarantees a balanced consistency in positioning accuracy and holding force at each state position, preventing positioning offset or instability.

[0074] Furthermore, the position of the substrate magnet 4 is located within the projected area of ​​the display panel magnet 5.

[0075] In the above embodiments, the spatial position of each substrate magnet 4 is designed to be within the area projected onto the rotation trajectory of the display panel 3 and the display panel magnet 5 thereon. In other words, the display panel magnet 5 can only achieve effective attraction when it moves above or overlaps with the area where the specific substrate magnet 4 is located.

[0076] The present application provides a schematic diagram of the structure of a sign, including: a base plate 1; a connector 2, one end of which is connected to the base plate 1; a display panel 3, which is connected to the other end of the connector 2; and a magnet, with the magnet portion disposed on the base plate 1 and the magnet portion disposed on the display panel 3.

[0077] This application achieves rapid status switching through a display panel that can rotate around a connector, significantly improving response efficiency in medical emergency scenarios. Simultaneously, it utilizes the magnetic attraction between two symmetrical substrate magnets on the base plate and a display panel magnet located in the display panel's shielding area: when the display panel rotates to the target position, its magnets instantly attract and position with the corresponding substrate magnets, ensuring stable status display. The design of this magnetic attraction structure and the magnets' location in the shielding area means that rotating the display panel requires overcoming a significant torque generated by the magnetic attraction, effectively preventing accidental touches by medical personnel or patients that could lead to erroneous status information changes, greatly enhancing the ability to prevent accidental touches. This design, while achieving rapid status changes and providing reliable anti-accidental touch functionality, also boasts advantages such as simple structure, stable positioning, and ease of maintenance, significantly improving the safety and efficiency of medical device management.
