Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a patient cooling care device. Background Technology
[0002] Fever is an extremely common symptom in the emergency internal medicine department. Many diseases, such as infectious and non-infectious diseases, can cause a rapid rise in body temperature. Persistent high fever can not only make patients feel uncomfortable, but may also lead to serious complications such as seizures and brain damage. Therefore, timely and effective cooling measures are crucial. Traditional cooling methods, such as ice packs and alcohol rubs, have problems such as limited cooling effect, inconvenience of operation, and poor patient comfort. Cooling care devices, with their advanced technology and good cooling effect, have become an important tool for cooling treatment in the emergency internal medicine department.
[0003] In medical care, reducing fever in patients is crucial. Using wet towels for physical cooling has a long history, is simple to operate, low in cost, and is widely used. However, this method has obvious drawbacks. The cooling effect is difficult to maintain, requiring frequent towel changes, increasing the workload of nursing care, affecting patient comfort, and posing a risk of cross-infection. In addition, the cooling effect of wet towels cannot be maintained for long periods of time, also requiring frequent replacement.
[0004] In response to this technical problem, this application proposes a patient cooling care device. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the difficulty in maintaining low-temperature effects and the inconvenience for patients to wear and use them independently. This invention proposes a patient cooling care device that uses a continuously circulating cooling medium to avoid the temperature decay problem of traditional ice pack materials, maintain the ice pack in the optimal working temperature range for a long time, and enable non-professionals to complete the standardized wearing process in a short time, significantly improving wearing efficiency and the structural stability of the device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A patient cooling care device includes a main body, a cooling chamber fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the main body, a drive motor fixedly connected to the right end of the cooling chamber, the drive motor being connected to a stirring plate via a stirring assembly, a semiconductor cooler installed at the top of the inner wall of the cooling chamber, an ice pack fixedly connected to the bottom of the main body, a connecting strap one fixedly connected to the left end of the main body, a connecting strap two fixedly connected to the right end of the main body, a connecting pipe fixedly connected to the left end of the cooling chamber, the other end of the connecting pipe being fixedly connected to and penetrating the outer wall of the cooling chamber, and a central controller installed at the top of the main body.
[0008] Furthermore, the stirring assembly includes a transmission rod fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod.
[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the outer wall of the connecting plate are rotatably connected to transmission gears, and the right end of the inner wall of the cooling chamber is fixedly connected to an internal gear ring, with the internal gear ring and the transmission gears being meshed together.
[0010] Furthermore, the right end of the transmission gear is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate.
[0011] Furthermore, a water pump is installed at the right end of the cooling chamber, and the output end of the water pump is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ice pack.
[0012] Furthermore, a fixing ring is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the second connecting belt, and the inner wall of the fixing ring fits into the outer wall of the first connecting belt.
[0013] Furthermore, a magic barbed surface is provided on the top side of the outer wall of the left end of the connecting strip, and a magic rough surface is provided on the bottom side of the outer wall of the left end of the connecting strip.
[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, the patient presses the central controller to activate the semiconductor cooler to cool the liquid gel in the cooling chamber. At the same time, the drive motor drives the stirring plate to rotate and revolve through the transmission rod and transmission gear, accelerating the mixing and cooling of the gel. The water pump pumps the cooled gel into the ice pack to replace the heated gel. The latter flows back to the cooling chamber through the connecting pipe for further cooling, thus achieving the continuous low temperature effect of the ice pack.
[0016] 2. In this utility model, when wearing the device, the first connecting strap is passed through the fixing ring, causing the first and second connecting straps to contract together and wrap around the patient's cooling area. After completion, the magic textured surface and the magic barbed surface adhere to each other, ensuring the stability of the wrapping. This design uses intuitive threading, wrapping, and locking operation steps, combined with tactile feedback and visual instructions, enabling non-professionals to quickly and correctly complete the wearing process, significantly improving the ease of use of the device.

[0024] 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.
[0025] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a patient cooling care device, comprising a care body 1, a cooling chamber 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the care body 1, a drive motor 18 fixedly connected to the right end of the cooling chamber 9, a transmission rod 13 fixedly connected to the drive end of the drive motor 18, a connecting plate 14 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the transmission rod 13, a semiconductor cooler 10 installed at the top of the inner wall of the cooling chamber 9, an ice pack 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the care body 1, and transmission gears 15 rotatably connected to both the front and rear ends of the outer wall of the connecting plate 14. (See reference...) Figure 4 An internal gear ring 11 is fixedly connected to the right end of the inner wall of the cooling chamber 9. The internal gear ring 11 and the transmission gear 15 are meshed. The right end of the transmission gear 15 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 14. A water pump 7 is installed at the right end of the cooling chamber 9. The output end of the water pump 7 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the ice pack 5. A connecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the left end of the cooling chamber 9. The other end of the connecting pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cooling chamber 9 and passes through it. A central controller 4 is installed at the top of the nursing body 1.
[0026] Specifically: When the patient presses the central control unit 4 to activate the semiconductor cooler 10, the cooler immediately performs directional cooling on the pre-placed liquid gel in the cooling chamber 9. Simultaneously, the drive motor 18 drives the connecting plate 14 to rotate via the transmission rod 13, causing the transmission gear 15 to mesh with the internal gear ring 11. During this process, the combined motion of the transmission gear 15 drives the stirring plate 12 to synchronously perform planetary motion—both revolving around the axis of the cooling chamber 9 and rotating on its own axis, thereby achieving efficient stirring and mixing of the gel in the cooling chamber 9. This dynamic stirring mechanism significantly improves the heat exchange efficiency between the low-temperature gel and the uncooled gel, allowing the overall temperature of the cooling chamber 9 to quickly reach the set threshold. Subsequently, the water pump 7 injects the cooled gel into the ice pack 5 through the delivery pipeline. The ice pack 5 is made of medical-grade TPU, which is soft and resistant to low temperatures. Simultaneously, the gel in the ice pack 5, which has absorbed heat and increased in temperature, is drawn back to the cooling chamber 9 for recooling through the connecting pipe 8, thus forming a closed-loop circulation system. This intelligent temperature control system avoids the temperature decay problem of traditional ice pack materials by continuously circulating the cooling medium, and can maintain the ice pack 5 in the optimal working temperature range for a long time.
[0027] Reference Figure 5 The left end of the nursing body 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting strap 1 2, and the right end of the nursing body 1 is fixedly connected to a connecting strap 2 3. The bottom end of the connecting strap 2 3 is rotatably connected to a fixing ring 6. The inner wall of the fixing ring 6 fits into the outer wall of the connecting strap 1 2. The top side of the outer wall of the left end of the connecting strap 1 2 is provided with a magic barbed surface 16, and the bottom side of the outer wall of the left end of the connecting strap 1 2 is provided with a magic bristle surface 17.
[0028] Specifically, when a patient wears the device, the connecting strap 2 is first threaded through the fixing ring 6 to form a guiding mechanism. The deformation memory characteristics of the elastic memory alloy skeleton drive the connecting strap 2 and connecting strap 3 to produce a coordinated contraction motion. This dual-strap linkage system achieves synchronous tightening through the limiting slot 19, causing the two connecting straps to wrap around the patient's area to be cooled in a spiral-progressive manner. The built-in distributed pressure sensor 21 monitors the wrapping tightness in real time. When the wrapping angle reaches a preset threshold, the microstructure array of the magic textured surface 17 and the magic barbed surface 16 completes molecular-level interlocking under pre-pressure, forming an adhesive interface with triaxial tensile strength. This achieves intelligent guided operation of the "thread-wrap-lock" three-step process, allowing even non-professionals to complete a standard medical-compliant wearing procedure within 10 seconds, significantly improving wearing efficiency and the device's structural stability.
[0029] Working principle: When the patient presses the central control unit 4 to activate the semiconductor cooler 10, the semiconductor cooler 10 cools the pre-set liquid gel in the cooling chamber 9. Simultaneously, the drive motor 18 rotates the transmission rod 13, which, through the connecting plate 14, drives the transmission gear 15 to rotate the stirring plate 12. The transmission gear 15, driven by the internal gear ring 11, causes the stirring plate 12 to rotate, thus stirring the gel in the cooling chamber 9. This allows the low-temperature gel in the cooling chamber 9 to quickly mix with other uncooled gels, accelerating the cooling process. The water pump 7 then pours the gel from the cooling chamber 9 into the ice pack 5. The gel that raises the temperature inside the ice pack 5 is replaced. When the ice pack 5 receives new gel, the connecting tube 8 returns the heated gel to the cooling chamber 9 for further cooling, thereby maintaining the low temperature effect of the ice pack 5 for a long time. When the patient needs to wear it, the connecting strap 1 2 is passed through the fixing ring 6, and the connecting strap 1 2 and the connecting strap 2 3 are contracted, allowing the connecting strap 1 2 and the connecting strap 2 3 to be wrapped around the patient's desired cooling location. After wrapping, the magic texture 17 and the magic barbed surface 16 are attached to ensure a stable wrapping effect of the connecting strap 1 2 and the connecting strap 2 3. This wearing method is easy for users to understand and use, improving the simplicity of the device.
