Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and in particular relates to a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress therapy device. Background Technology
[0002] The TCM hot compress therapy device is a medical device that combines traditional Chinese medicine external therapy with modern physical therapy technology. It uses heat to promote drug penetration and achieves effects such as warming the meridians and promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing swelling and relieving pain.
[0003] When the package is secured to a part of the body (such as with a waist strap for pressure), the Chinese medicine granules or cakes may be compressed, reducing their thickness by 10% to 30% (especially when they contain loose herbs). In this case, the heat penetrates too deeply, causing the local temperature to rise and posing a risk of burns.
[0004] When a patient turns over or moves around, gravity causes uneven distribution of the medicinal materials (such as the accumulation of the medicinal layer on one side when lying on their side), resulting in local overheating / coldness, which can irritate the skin or cause areas where treatment is ineffective.
[0005] Furthermore, the form of medicinal materials will change during hot compresses. For example, if the medicinal materials absorb moisture and expand, their thickness will increase by 15% to 20%, increasing thermal resistance and resulting in insufficient temperature in deep tissues, which will reduce the efficacy and prolong the treatment time. If the medicinal materials dry and shrink, they will clump together and become thinner, reducing their thickness by about 10%, which will increase the risk of burns.
[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress therapy device to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress therapy device, which has the advantage of automatically adjusting the heating power according to the thickness of the medicinal material, and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model for a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress therapy device is as follows:
[0009] A traditional Chinese medicine hot compress therapy device includes a hot compress area, with connecting components at both ends of the hot compress area, which are used to fix the hot compress area at the patient's treatment position.
[0010] The hot compress area includes multiple hot compress compartments, each equipped with a herbal medicine package and a heating component. The heating component can adjust the heating power according to the thickness of the herbal medicine package.
[0011] Furthermore, the hot compress separation area is divided into a medicinal material sealing cavity and a connecting cavity by the heating component. The medicinal material sealing cavity is located in the first direction of the heating component and is used to place the medicinal material sealing package. The connecting cavity is located in the second direction of the heating component and is equipped with a driving component. The driving component drives the heating component to abut against the medicinal material sealing package.
[0012] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a spring, with its two ends fixedly connected to the heating assembly and the connecting cavity, respectively.
[0013] Furthermore, the heating component is equipped with a sensing component, which can adjust the heating power of the heating component according to the position of the heating component. When the heating component moves in the first direction, the heating power of the heating component decreases, and when the heating component moves in the second direction, the heating power of the heating component increases.
[0014] Furthermore, the heat therapy separation area includes a heat therapy layer and a waterproof layer. The heat therapy layer is connected to the waterproof layer, the heat therapy layer is in contact with the patient's treatment position, and the waterproof layer faces away from the patient.
[0015] Furthermore, the herbal medicine sealing cavity consists of a heat-applying layer and a heating component, while the connecting cavity consists of a heat-applying layer, a heating component, and a waterproof layer.
[0016] Furthermore, the heat pack is made of non-woven fabric to improve its permeability to the patient.
[0017] Furthermore, the hot compress area is divided into multiple hot compress zones by sutures.
[0018] Furthermore, the heating assembly includes a back plate and a heating wire. The back plate is fixedly connected to the heating wire, and the heating wire is electrically connected to the sensing assembly to adjust the heating power of the heating wire according to the position of the heating assembly.
[0019] Furthermore, the connection includes a strap, one end of which is connected to the heat treatment area, and the other end of which is connected to Velcro, with the two Velcro fasteners fastened together to fix the heat treatment area in the patient's treatment position.
[0020] This utility model has the following advantages: This hot compress therapy device can provide precise treatment and avoid the problem of "thick layer cold, thin layer hot" in traditional equipment; it is also energy-saving and safe, reducing ineffective energy consumption and lowering the risk of burns; at the same time, it allows for independent temperature control in multiple areas, and different heating components can be heated in different areas to improve the hot compress effect.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0025] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are intended to be within the scope of this invention and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.
[0026] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 2 This invention describes a traditional Chinese medicine hot compress therapy device.
[0027] This traditional Chinese medicine hot compress therapy device includes a hot compress area 1, and connecting components 4 are connected to both ends of the hot compress area 1. The hot compress area 1 is fixed at the patient's treatment position through the connecting components 4.
[0028] In existing technologies, when patients turn over or move around, gravity causes uneven distribution of the medicinal materials (such as the accumulation of the medicinal layer on one side when lying on their side), resulting in local overheating / coldness, which can irritate the skin or cause areas where treatment is ineffective.
[0029] Therefore, the hot compress area 1 of this hot compress therapy device includes multiple hot compress partition areas 11. By dividing the hot compress area 1 into multiple hot compress partition areas 11, the medicine pack 2 is reduced in size. Thus, when the patient turns over or moves, the medicine in the medicine pack 2 is still evenly distributed under the action of gravity, and there will be no uneven distribution of medicine. Furthermore, by dividing the hot compress area 1 into multiple hot compress partition areas 11, this hot compress therapy device can adapt to the curvature of different body parts when in contact with the patient's body, resulting in a high degree of fit.
[0030] In existing technologies, when the package is fixed to a part of the body (such as with a waist strap for pressure), the Chinese medicine granules or cakes may be compressed, reducing the thickness by 10% to 30% (especially when containing loose medicinal materials). At this time, the heat penetrates too deeply, the local temperature rises, and there is a risk of burns.
[0031] In existing technologies, the form of medicinal materials also changes during hot compresses. For example, if the medicinal materials absorb moisture and expand, their thickness increases by 15% to 20%, increasing thermal resistance and resulting in insufficient temperature in deep tissues, thus reducing efficacy and prolonging treatment time. If the medicinal materials dry and shrink, they become clumps and thinner, reducing their thickness by about 10%, increasing the risk of burns.
[0032] Therefore, each heat therapy device is equipped with a herbal medicine pack 2 and a heating component 13 in each heat therapy compartment 11. The heating component 13 can adjust the heating power according to the thickness of the herbal medicine pack 2. When the herbal medicine granules or cakes are compressed and the thickness is reduced by 10% to 30%, the heating component 13 reduces the heating power to avoid scalding the patient. When the herbal medicine absorbs moisture and expands, increasing the thickness by 15% to 20%, the heating component 13 increases the heating power to avoid a decrease in efficacy and a prolongation of treatment time. When the herbal medicine dries and shrinks, and the herbal medicine clumps and becomes thinner, reducing the thickness by about 10%, the heating component 13 reduces the heating power to avoid scalding the patient.
[0033] Furthermore, by providing a medicinal herb pack 2 and a heating component 13 in each heat-compression zone 11, different heating components 13 can heat different areas. For example, if the medicinal herb pack 2 in a certain heat-compression zone 11 becomes thicker, the heating power of that heat-compression zone 11 will increase; if the medicinal herb pack 2 in a certain heat-compression zone 11 becomes thinner, the heating power of that heat-compression zone 11 will decrease.
[0034] Furthermore, when placing the herbal medicine pack 2, different herbal medicine packs 2 have different thicknesses. Therefore, when the herbal medicine pack 2 is thicker, the heating power of the hot compress separation area 11 is increased, and when the herbal medicine pack 2 is thinner, the heating power of the hot compress separation area 11 is reduced.
[0035] Therefore, this hot compress therapy device can provide precise treatment and avoid the problem of "thick layer cold, thin layer hot" in traditional equipment; it is also energy-saving and safe, reducing ineffective energy consumption and lowering the risk of burns; at the same time, it can independently control the temperature of multiple areas, and different heating components 13 can heat different areas to improve the hot compress effect.
[0036] The hot compress separation zone 11 is divided into a herbal medicine sealing cavity 12 and a connecting cavity 14 by the heating component 13. The herbal medicine sealing cavity 12 is located in the first direction of the heating component 13. The herbal medicine sealing cavity 12 is used to place the herbal medicine sealing package 2. By setting the herbal medicine sealing cavity 12, the hot compress separation zone 11 can be replaced with different herbal medicine sealing packages 2, and different herbal medicine sealing packages 2 can be placed in different herbal medicine sealing cavities 12 during treatment.
[0037] The connecting cavity 14 is located in the second direction of the heating component 13. The connecting cavity 14 is provided with a driving component 3, which drives the heating component 13 to abut against the herbal medicine package 2. Specifically, the driving component 3 includes a spring, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the heating component 13 and the connecting cavity 14, respectively. When the herbal medicine package 2 is not placed in the herbal medicine package cavity 12, the spring is in an extended state. When the herbal medicine package 2 is placed in the herbal medicine package cavity 12, the spring is in a contracted state. When the thickness of the herbal medicine package 2 decreases, part of the pressure of the spring is released, pushing the heating component 13 to move in the first direction. When the thickness of the herbal medicine package 2 increases, the herbal medicine package 2 squeezes the heating component to move in the second direction.
[0038] The heating component 13 is equipped with a sensing component, which can adjust the heating power of the heating component 13 according to its position. When the heating component 13 moves in a first direction, the heating power of the heating component 13 decreases, and when the heating component 13 moves in a second direction, the heating power of the heating component 13 increases. Specifically, the sensing component can be a linear variable differential transformer, which changes the mutual inductance coefficient by the displacement of the iron core and outputs a voltage signal proportional to the displacement. The voltage signal is then transmitted to the heating component 13, and the heating component 13 adjusts the heating power according to the signal. In other embodiments of this utility model, the sensing component can also be a magnetostrictive displacement sensor, a Hall effect linear sensor, a capacitive linear displacement sensor, etc., as long as it can achieve the goal of adjusting the heating power of the heating component 13 according to its position.
[0039] The hot compress separation zone 11 includes a hot compress layer 15 and a waterproof layer 16. The hot compress layer 15 is connected to the waterproof layer 16. The hot compress layer 15 is in contact with the patient's treatment position. Specifically, the hot compress layer 15 is made of non-woven fabric to improve the permeability and breathability to the patient. The waterproof layer 16 faces away from the patient and towards the outside, which prevents the medicine from seeping out and also prevents water from entering.
[0040] Specifically, the herbal medicine sealing cavity 12 is composed of a hot compress layer 15 and a heating component 13, and the connecting cavity 14 is composed of a hot compress layer 15, a heating component 13 and a waterproof layer 16.
[0041] Preferably, the heat treatment area 1 is divided into multiple heat treatment partition areas 11 by sutures. The multiple heat treatment partition areas 11 separated by sutures can independently adapt to the body's curvature, improving the fit.
[0042] Specifically, the heating component 13 includes a back plate and a heating wire. The back plate is fixedly connected to the heating wire, and the heating wire is electrically connected to the sensing component to adjust the heating power of the heating wire according to the position of the heating component 13. In other embodiments of this utility model, the heating component 13 can also be other heating methods such as infrared heating, as long as it can heat the medicine package 2 and the heating power is adjustable.
[0043] The connecting component 4 includes a strap, one end of which is connected to the hot compress area 1, and the other end of which is connected to Velcro 41. The hot compress area 1 is fixed in the patient's treatment position by the two Velcro straps 41 being fastened together. Specifically, the Velcro straps 41 at both ends are the rough side and the hook side, respectively, so that they are fastened together by the rough side and the hook side. The strap is a retractable strap to adapt to different patients.
[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
