Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular to an insulin pump anti-dislodgement structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical devices, insulin pumps, as devices used for continuous subcutaneous insulin injection in diabetic patients, are of great significance for controlling blood sugar levels and improving patients' quality of life. The stability and reliability of insulin pumps directly affect the patient's treatment outcome and safety. Therefore, ensuring the stable fixation and effective protection of insulin pumps during use is an important aspect of medical device design.

[0003] Existing insulin pump fixation mechanisms have several shortcomings in practical use. First, many fixation designs are not robust enough, making the insulin pump prone to detachment during patient movement. This can damage the device and infusion tubing, increasing the risk of infection. Second, existing fixation mechanisms often lack effective breathability and sweat-wicking properties, leading to skin dampness during prolonged wear, affecting comfort, and potentially causing skin problems. Furthermore, some fixation mechanisms are not user-friendly, impacting the user experience. Therefore, the technical challenges that need to be addressed include improving the fixation stability of the insulin pump, enhancing its protective performance, and improving wearing comfort and ease of operation.

[0004] In response to this technical problem, this application proposes an insulin pump anti-dislodgement structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an insulin pump anti-dislodgement structure. This structure secures the insulin pump in place and prevents it from falling off during use, thus avoiding damage to the infusion tubing, increased risk of infection, extended device lifespan, and continuous and stable insulin infusion. It also provides sweat absorption and breathability at the user's wearing location, preventing the skin from being constantly damp and weakening the skin's barrier function, thereby improving user comfort and protecting the insulin pump.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An insulin pump anti-dislodgement structure includes a waist belt. Two mounting plates are fixedly connected to the front side of the waist belt. Limiting posts are connected to the front sides of the two mounting plates via fixing components. Connecting plates are fixedly connected to the top sides of the two limiting posts. A housing is fixedly connected to the front side of the connecting plates. A breathable component is provided inside the waist belt. An elastic band is provided at the left end of the waist belt. A slot is provided at the right end of the waist belt. Limiting holes are provided at the top and bottom sides of the right end of the waist belt. Buckles are provided at the top and bottom sides of the right end of the elastic band.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing component includes two limiting blocks fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting plate, two arc-shaped plates rotatably connected to the adjacent side of the two limiting blocks, and pressure plates fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two arc-shaped plates.

[0009] Furthermore, springs are provided on opposite sides of the two arc-shaped plates, with one end of the spring connected to the front side of the mounting plate and the other end connected to the rear side of the pressure plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the breathable component includes a breathable layer disposed inside the waistband, and a sweat-absorbing layer is disposed on the rear side of the breathable layer.

[0011] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad is provided on the back side of the waist belt, and the front side of the anti-slip pad is in contact with the back side of the sweat-absorbing layer.

[0012] Furthermore, the breathable layer is typically made of polyester fiber, and the sweat-wicking layer is typically made of moisture-wicking fiber.

[0013] Furthermore, the two opposite ends of the latches are slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting hole.

[0014] Furthermore, a display screen is provided on the left front end of the housing, and a control button is provided on the right front end of the housing.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, two arc-shaped plates are driven by springs to clamp the limiting post, thereby fixing the position of the insulin pump and preventing it from falling off. This avoids the insulin pump falling off to the user's waist during use, which could damage the infusion tubing, increase the risk of infection, improve the service life of the device, and maintain a continuous and stable insulin infusion.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the breathable layer and sweat-absorbing layer inside the waist belt fit together tightly, achieving sweat absorption and breathability at the user's wearing position, avoiding the weakening of the stratum corneum barrier function due to prolonged dampness of the skin, improving user wearing comfort, and protecting the insulin pump.

[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 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an insulin pump anti-dislodgement structure, comprising a waist belt 1. Two mounting plates 5 are fixedly connected to the front of the waist belt 1. Each mounting plate 5 has a limiting post 9 connected to its front via an arc-shaped plate 10. A connecting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top of each limiting post 9. A housing 2 is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting plate 8. A breathable layer 17 is provided inside the waist belt 1. An elastic band 7 is provided at the left end of the waist belt 1. A slot 14 is provided at the right end of the waist belt 1. Limiting holes 15 are provided on the top and bottom sides of the right end of the waist belt 1. Buckles 16 are provided on the top and bottom sides of the right end of the elastic band 7. Springs 13 are provided on opposite sides of the two arc-shaped plates 10. One end of the spring 13 is connected to the front of the mounting plate 5, and the other end is connected to the rear of the pressure plate 11. An anti-slip pad 6 is provided on the rear of the waist belt 1, with the front of the anti-slip pad 6 adhering to the rear of the sweat-absorbing layer 18. The two latches 16 are slidably connected at opposite ends to the inner wall of the limiting hole 15. A display screen 3 is provided on the front left side of the housing 2, and a control button 4 is provided on the front right side of the housing 2.

[0026] Specifically, when using the insulin pump anti-fall structure, the operator first wraps the waist belt 1 around the user's waist, ensuring it conforms to the waistline. Since waist sizes vary among users, to ensure a tight fit and prevent the belt from falling off, the operator needs to pull the elastic band 7 made of elastic material. When pulled to the appropriate position, i.e., when the waist belt fits snugly and comfortably against the user's waist, the right end of the elastic band 7 is inserted into the slot 14 inside the waist belt 1. After insertion, continue moving until the buckles 16 at both ends of the elastic band 7 successfully engage with the limiting holes 15 on the waist belt 1, thus securing the waist belt. The connecting plate 8 on the top side of the limiting post 9 has a diameter larger than the diameter of the limiting post 9 itself. This design effectively limits the position of the housing 2 in the vertical direction, preventing displacement of the housing 2 and ensuring the insulin pump is securely fixed to the user.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 Two limiting blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the front side of the mounting plate 5. Two arc-shaped plates 10 are rotatably connected to the side of the two limiting blocks 12 that are close to each other. Pressure plates 11 are fixedly connected to the side of the two arc-shaped plates 10 that are far apart.

[0028] Specifically, pressing down on the pressure plate 11 on the arc-shaped plate 10 causes the two arc-shaped plates 10 to open, creating a space large enough to accommodate the rear limiting post 9 of the housing 2. After placing the limiting post 9 into this space, the pressure on the pressure plate 11 is released. At this point, the spring 13 on the front side of the mounting plate 5 releases its elastic potential energy due to the previous deformation, causing the two arc-shaped plates 10 to spring back to their initial positions, thus firmly clamping the limiting post 9.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 The waist belt 1 has an internal breathable layer 17, and a sweat-absorbing layer 18 is provided on the back of the breathable layer 17. The breathable layer 17 is usually made of polyester fiber, and the sweat-absorbing layer 18 is usually made of moisture-wicking fiber.

[0030] Specifically, polyester fiber has excellent breathability and quick-drying properties, enabling it to quickly wick away moisture from the skin's surface and keep the skin dry. At the same time, polyester fiber also has strong abrasion resistance and wrinkle resistance, making it easy to wash and maintain. Moisture-wicking fiber is a functional fiber that, through its special fiber structure and surface treatment, can quickly absorb sweat from the skin's surface and transfer it to the outer layer of the fabric, allowing it to evaporate rapidly and thus keeping the skin dry.

[0031] Working principle: The operator first wraps the waist belt 1 around the user's waist to make it fit snugly. Then, by pulling the elastic band 7, the operator ensures that the entire waist belt 1 is in a position that fits snugly against the user's waist and will not fall off. The elastic band 7 is made of elastic material to accommodate users with different waist sizes. After pulling it to the appropriate position, the right end of the elastic band 7 is inserted into the slot 14 inside the waist belt 1. After entering the slot 14 and moving it to the appropriate position, the buckles 16 at both ends of the elastic band 7 engage with the limiting holes 15 on the waist belt 1 to complete the fixation. Then, the housing 2 is fixed in place. When in place, the operator can first press the pressure plate 11 on the front arc plate 10 of the mounting plate 5 to open the two arc plates 10, ensuring that the space created can accommodate the limiting post 9 set on the rear side of the housing 2. After the limiting post 9 is placed, the arc plate 10 is released. Under the action of the elastic potential energy generated by the deformation of the spring 13 set on the front side of the mounting plate 5, the two arc plates 10 spring back to the initial position and clamp the limiting post 9. The diameter of the connecting plate 8 set on the top side of the limiting post 9 is larger than the diameter of the limiting post 9, which limits the position of the housing 2 in the vertical direction.

[0032] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
