Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of traditional Chinese medicine auxiliary devices, specifically to a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress that can be used simultaneously on the shoulder and upper arm. Background Technology

[0002] Existing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) hot compresses are often unsuitable for use on the shoulders and upper arms. These areas are highly mobile (such as the shoulder and elbow joints), and limb movement during the application of TCM hot compresses can easily cause the herbal pack to shift or fall off, affecting the stability of the compress and drug absorption. Furthermore, traditional TCM hot compresses are difficult to apply tightly to irregular curved surfaces, resulting in uneven distribution of heat and medication. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model includes an inner layer of Chinese herbal medicine soaked cloth, which is the upper half of a short-sleeved T-shirt. The inner layer of Chinese herbal medicine soaked cloth includes a shoulder wrapping cloth a and an upper arm wrapping part a connected to each other. When unfolded, the inner layer of Chinese herbal medicine soaked cloth has an M-shaped structure and is in contact with the skin of the shoulder and upper arm.

[0005] The middle layer of volcanic mud bag fixing cloth includes a fixing cloth block with the same shape as the inner layer of Chinese medicine soaking cloth and multiple volcanic mud sealing bags sewn inside the fixing cloth block;

[0006] The outer layer of insulation cloth has the same shape as the fixing cloth block and covers its outer side;

[0007] A set of elastic fastening straps, including a diagonal elastic strap and a horizontal elastic strap, with a set of matching snap fasteners and snap fasteners on the outer sides of both ends of the diagonal elastic strap and the horizontal elastic strap;

[0008] The inner layer of Chinese herbal medicine soaked cloth, the middle layer of volcanic mud bag fixing cloth, and the upper and lower parts of the outer layer of heat insulation cloth are respectively provided with ear-hole a for the two ends of the diagonal elastic band to pass through and ear-hole b for the two ends of the horizontal elastic band to pass through.

[0009] Preferably, the inner layer of herbal medicine-impregnated cloth is made of pure cotton.

[0010] Preferably, the volcanic mud packaging bag is in contact with the inner layer of herbal medicine soaking cloth.

[0011] Preferably, the female snap fastener is located at the edges of both ends of the diagonal elastic band and the horizontal elastic band, and the male snap fastener is located inside the female snap fastener. The female snap fastener passes through the ear a or the ear b and then folds back to engage with the male snap fastener.

[0012] Preferably, the number of snap buttons and snap female buttons in a set is two.

[0013] Preferably, the outer insulation fabric is made of bamboo fiber or coral fleece.

[0014] The advantages of this invention are: it can tightly wrap the shoulder and upper arm, solving the problem of easy displacement in traditional Chinese medicine hot compresses. The advantages of Chinese medicine hot compresses on the shoulder and upper arm lie in their precise positioning to exert the efficacy of the medicine, the synergistic effect of warmth, and natural safety, making them especially suitable for people with chronic strain, sports rehabilitation, and cold and damp constitutions.

Furthermore, if terms such as "first" or "second" appear in the description of this invention, they are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set" and "connection" 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 of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] As shown in the attached figure, this utility model includes an inner layer of Chinese herbal medicine soaked cloth 1, which is the upper half of a short-sleeved T-shirt. The inner layer of Chinese herbal medicine soaked cloth 1 includes a shoulder wrapping cloth a11 and an upper arm wrapping part a12 connected to each other. When the inner layer of Chinese herbal medicine soaked cloth 1 is unfolded, it has an M-shaped structure. The inner layer of Chinese herbal medicine soaked cloth 1 is in contact with the skin of the shoulder and upper arm.

[0026] The middle layer volcanic mud bag fixing cloth 2 includes a fixing cloth block 21 with the same shape as the inner layer Chinese medicine soaking cloth 1 and multiple volcanic mud sealing bags 22 sewn inside the fixing cloth block 21. The volcanic mud sealing bags 22 are sealed structures, and the volcanic mud inside does not come into contact with the external environment, making them waterproof and airtight.

[0027] The outer insulation cloth 3 has the same shape as the fixing cloth block 21 and covers its outer side;

[0028] A set of elastic fixing straps, including a diagonal elastic strap 41 and a horizontal elastic strap 42, with a set of matching snap fasteners 43 and snap fasteners 44 on the outer sides of both ends of the diagonal elastic strap 41 and the horizontal elastic strap 42.

[0029] The inner layer of Chinese herbal medicine soaking cloth 1, the middle layer of volcanic mud bag fixing cloth 2, and the outer layer of heat insulation cloth 3 are respectively provided with ear-piercing parts a5 for the two ends of the diagonal elastic band 41 to pass through and ear-piercing parts b6 for the two ends of the horizontal elastic band 42 to pass through.

[0030] In another technical solution, the inner layer of herbal medicine soaked cloth 1 is made of pure cotton, which is more skin-friendly and comfortable.

[0031] In another technical solution, the volcanic mud encapsulation bag 22 is in contact with the inner layer of Chinese medicine soaked cloth 1.

[0032] In another technical solution, the snap fastener 44 is located at the edges of both ends of the diagonal elastic band 41 and the horizontal elastic band 42, and the snap fastener 43 is located inside the snap fastener 44. The snap fastener 44 passes through the ear loop a5 or the ear loop b6 and then folds back to engage with the snap fastener 43. The diagonal elastic band 41 and the horizontal elastic band 42 are fixed to the ear loop a5 at the top and the ear loop b6 at the bottom of the inner layer Chinese herbal medicine soaked cloth 1, the middle layer volcanic mud bag fixing cloth 2, and the outer layer thermal insulation cloth 3 by a set of snap fasteners 43 and snap fasteners 44 at both ends.

[0033] In another technical solution, there are two sets of snap buttons 43 and snap buttons 44, making the connection more secure.

[0034] In another technical solution, the outer insulating cloth 3 is made of bamboo fiber or coral fleece, which provides warmth while being highly absorbent, with a water absorption rate stronger than that of ordinary fabrics.

[0035] Working principle: Medical staff first soak the inner layer of herbal compress 1 in the herbal solution and then put it on the patient's shoulder and upper arm. Next, the middle layer volcanic mud bag fixing cloth 2 and the volcanic mud sealing bag 22 sewn onto it are removed from the insulated box. The volcanic mud sealing bag 22 is then placed in contact with the inner layer of herbal compress 1 and similarly put on the patient's shoulder and upper arm. Finally, the outer layer of insulating cloth 3 is put on over the middle layer volcanic mud bag fixing cloth 2 to provide insulation and absorb any overflowing herbal solution. This invention can tightly wrap the shoulder and upper arm, solving the problem of easy displacement in traditional herbal hot compresses. The advantages of herbal hot compresses on the shoulder and upper arm lie in their precise positioning for efficacy, synergistic effect of warmth, and natural safety, making them especially suitable for people with chronic strain, sports rehabilitation, and cold-dampness constitutions.

[0036] The above-described embodiments are only intended to illustrate the technical solution and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to implement them. They should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
