Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically a transport container for AEDs (Automated External Defibrillators) for drones. Background Technology

[0002] An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is a portable medical device whose main function is to identify whether a cardiac arrest patient has a defibrillable rhythm (such as ventricular fibrillation or ventricular flutter). Once detected, it delivers an electric shock to the patient's heart through electrode pads, restoring the heart to a normal rhythm.

[0003] As an emergency medical device, AEDs are typically placed in densely populated areas. Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 212557323U discloses an AED storage and release device, including a box, a door, and an AED device. The device is characterized by the following features: suspension devices are installed around one side of the box, with one end of each device fixedly connected to the other end of the box; LED lights are equidistantly installed at the top of the box's interior, with the tops of the LED lights fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box; a camera is installed at the top of the other end of the box, fitted into the box; an alarm transmission device is installed on one side of the box's interior, fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box; a shaft is fixedly connected to one end of the door; a glass window is installed in the middle of the door, with a rescue sign attached to the middle of the window; a fingerprint device is installed at one end of the rescue sign; an electronic switch is installed on one side of the fingerprint device, fixedly connected to the box; and an information collection board is installed inside the bottom of the box.

[0004] The aforementioned AED storage and release device stores the AED in a box. However, the box lacks a cushioning structure. When patients are in areas with complex terrain such as mountains, hills, or islands, or in places with heavy traffic and large crowds such as during rush hour or large gatherings, the time required to retrieve the AED will be greatly extended. Furthermore, the AED will experience significant shaking during transport, and the box cannot maintain the stability of the AED inside, making it prone to damage from impacts. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dedicated transport container for AEDs using drones, which utilizes the currently mature technology of drones to transport AEDs without considering the impact of terrain and traffic. Furthermore, the container is designed to be shockproof, which can prevent AEDs from being bumped or knocked during transport, thus solving the technical problems mentioned in the background.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A dedicated transport container for AEDs for drones, including

[0008] The bottom shell of the box is used to hold the AED, and the top of the box has a top shell.

[0009] The slide rail, located in the middle of the top of the top shell of the housing, has sliding seats slidably connected to both ends; and a connecting seat is fixedly connected to one end of the top of each of the two sliding seats.

[0010] Both the bottom shell and the top shell of the enclosure are equipped with cushioning components, which are arranged symmetrically inside the bottom shell and the top shell of the enclosure.

[0011] The internal cushioning components of the top shell of the enclosure consist of a honeycomb aluminum layer, a memory foam layer, and a damping silicone layer from top to bottom. The damping silicone layer has two magnetic suction modules on its outer side.

[0012] A storage slot for placing an AED is provided between the memory foam layer and the damping silicone layer inside the bottom shell of the case.

[0013] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the magnetic suction modules are fixed on both sides of the phenolic board, and the two magnetic suction modules are fixedly connected by a thin plate; the phenolic board is fixed to the bottom shell or top shell of the box after passing through the buffer assembly with screws.

[0014] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the top of the two sliding seats is threadedly connected with adjusting bolts that can be positioned and locked with the slide rail.

[0015] Both of the aforementioned connecting seats are L-shaped, and the ends of both connecting seats away from the sliding seat are fixedly connected to the boom of the UAV.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. In this utility model, the honeycomb aluminum layer, memory foam layer, and damping silicone layer can all play a buffering role. The AED is placed in the storage groove of the memory foam layer and the damping silicone layer in the bottom shell of the box. The damping silicone layer in the top shell of the box adheres to and presses down on the AED, which reduces the impact force and prevents the AED from shaking in the box.

[0018] 2. In this utility model, after the bottom shell and top shell of the box are closed, the magnetic attraction module in the bottom shell can attract and adhere to the magnetic attraction module in the top shell, thereby improving the stability of the closure of the bottom shell and top shell, and also improving the stability of the two damping silicone layers, thereby further improving the stability of the AED; the thin plate plays the role of fixing multiple magnetic attraction modules. When the box is opened, the thin plate can allow the mutually attracted magnetic attraction modules to separate smoothly, preventing the magnetic attraction modules from detaching from the damping silicone layer to which they are connected.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] 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.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-6 In this embodiment of the utility model, a special transport container for AEDs for drones includes...

[0028] Box bottom shell 1, which is used to hold AED, and box top shell 2 is provided on the top of box bottom shell 1;

[0029] The slide rail 5 is located in the middle of the top of the top shell 2 of the box. Both ends of the slide rail 5 are slidably connected to the sliding seat 6; the top of each of the two sliding seats 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 7.

[0030] Both the bottom shell 1 and the top shell 2 of the box are equipped with buffer components. The buffer components inside the bottom shell 1 and the top shell 2 of the box are arranged symmetrically. The buffer components inside the top shell 2 of the box are, from top to bottom, a honeycomb aluminum layer 8, a memory foam layer 9 and a damping silicone layer 10. The damping silicone layer 10 has two magnetic suction modules 12 on its outer side.

[0031] A storage slot for placing an AED is provided between the memory foam layer 9 and the damping silicone layer 10 inside the bottom shell 1 of the box.

[0032] The magnetic suction module 12 is fixed on both sides of the phenolic board 11, and the two magnetic suction modules 12 are fixedly connected by a thin plate 13; the phenolic board 11 is fixed to the bottom shell 1 or the top shell 2 of the box after passing through the buffer assembly with screws.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the honeycomb aluminum layer 8, the memory foam layer 9, and the damping silicone layer 10 can all play a buffering role. The AED is placed in the storage slot of the memory foam layer 9 and the damping silicone layer 10 in the bottom shell 1 of the box. The damping silicone layer 10 in the top shell 2 of the box adheres to the AED and presses it down. While reducing the impact force, it can also prevent the AED from shaking in the box.

[0034] Furthermore, when the transport box is accidentally dropped from a height, the internal cushioning components can provide a good cushioning effect; in addition, the magnetic module 12 strengthens the closing effect of the top shell 2 and bottom shell 1 of the box, preventing the AED from falling out after the fall, and greatly improving the box's high impact resistance; the vibration transmission rate is reduced to 7%, and the equipment has a 100% integrity rate after a 3-meter drop test.

[0035] In this embodiment, one side of the bottom shell 1 of the box is movably connected to the top shell 2 of the box via a hinge, and both ends of the other side are connected by a snap-fit ​​structure; a handle 3 is also movably connected to the middle of the side of the bottom shell 1 near the snap-fit ​​structure.

[0036] The slide rail 5 is fixed in the mounting groove 4 on the top of the housing 2 by countersunk bolts, and the upper surface of the slide rail 5 is flush with the upper surface of the housing 2; the top of the two sliding seats 6 are threaded with adjusting bolts that can be positioned and locked with the slide rail 5; the two connecting seats 7 are both L-shaped, and the ends of the two connecting seats 7 away from the sliding seats 6 are fixedly connected to the boom of the UAV.

[0037] By adopting the above technical solution, after the bottom shell 1 and the top shell 2 of the box are closed, the magnetic module 12 in the bottom shell 1 can be attracted and attached to the magnetic module 12 in the top shell 2, thereby improving the stability of the closure of the bottom shell 1 and the top shell 2 of the box, and also improving the stability of the two damping silicone layers 10, thereby further improving the stability of the AED; the thin plate 13 plays the role of fixing the magnetic module 12. When the box is opened, the thin plate 13 can allow the magnetic modules 12 that are attracted to each other to separate smoothly, preventing the magnetic modules 12 from detaching from the damping silicone layer 10 connected to them;

[0038] Furthermore, the cushioning design of the honeycomb aluminum layer 8, damping silicone layer 10, and memory foam layer 9 increases the drop resistance of the AED device inside the housing by 300%. At the same time, the combination of the honeycomb aluminum layer 8, damping silicone layer 10, and memory foam layer 9 provides a good temperature control layer and IP67 sealing structure, ensuring stable operation in environments ranging from -20℃ to 60℃. It is particularly suitable for drone-based medical emergency scenarios.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the honeycomb aluminum layer 8, the memory foam layer 9, and the damping silicone layer 10 can all play a buffering role. The AED is placed in the storage slot of the memory foam layer 9 and the damping silicone layer 10 in the bottom shell 1 of the box. The damping silicone layer 10 in the top shell 2 of the box adheres to the AED and presses it down. While reducing the impact force, it can also prevent the AED from shaking in the box.

[0040] After the bottom shell 1 and top shell 2 of the box are closed, the multiple magnetic modules 12 in the bottom shell 1 can be attracted and attached to each other with the multiple magnetic modules 12 in the top shell 2, thereby improving the stability of the closure of the bottom shell 1 and top shell 2, and also improving the stability of the two damping silicone layers 10, thereby further improving the stability of the AED; the multiple thin plates 13 play the role of fixing the multiple magnetic modules 12. When the box is opened, the multiple thin plates 13 can allow the multiple magnetic modules 12 that are attracted to each other to separate smoothly, preventing the magnetic modules 12 from detaching from the damping silicone layer 10 to which they are connected.

[0041] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
