Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, and in particular to a name tag for medical workers. Background Technology

[0002] Medical staff name tags are important identification markers for healthcare workers, primarily used to display basic information such as name, title, and department, facilitating quick identification by patients and colleagues. Currently, common methods of securing name tags include lanyards, pins, and magnetic attachments. Lanyard-style name tags are prone to wobbling during procedures, affecting the aseptic technique and ease of use; therefore, healthcare workers typically prefer name tags secured with pins or magnetic attachments.

[0003] Traditional pin or magnetic name tags are limited by their fastening method, typically designed to be small and thin. If the name tag is too large, the stress point on the pin becomes too concentrated, easily leading to deformation or even detachment. Magnetic name tags, on the other hand, suffer from reduced stability due to insufficient magnetism as they increase in size. Therefore, most existing name tags can only accommodate one information card, limiting the displayed content and lacking additional storage space. Healthcare workers frequently need to use small medical supplies (such as alcohol wipes, adhesive tape, and sticky notes) in their daily work, but because name tags cannot provide temporary storage, they often need to repeatedly use other containers, impacting work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies need to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a name tag for medical workers, so as to solve the technical problem that the existing name tags for medical workers cannot provide reasonable storage space.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a name tag for medical workers, comprising a name tag body with a connecting flange on the back. The connecting flange extends along the left, bottom, and right edges of the name tag body. A floating cavity is provided inside the connecting flange, extending along the length of the connecting flange. An avoidance groove communicating with the floating cavity is provided on the back of the connecting flange. A Velcro layer covers the side of the connecting flange facing away from the name tag body, used to initially fix the name tag to clothing. When the Velcro layer is adhered to the surface of the clothing, the name tag body and the clothing form an upward-opening storage pocket. A barbed claw assembly includes a piercing base plate, a linkage push rod, and a movable push block. The piercing base plate is movably disposed within the floating cavity. The piercing base plate has barbs on the side facing the Velcro layer for further securing the name badge. The movable push block is slidably disposed on the front of the name badge body and has an arc-shaped sliding groove. One end of the linkage push rod is disposed in the floating cavity and hinged to the piercing base plate, the middle part is hinged to the inner wall of the floating cavity through a pivot, and the other end extends to the front of the name badge body and engages with the sliding groove. When the movable push block moves in the first direction, the linkage push rod drives the piercing base plate to extend the barbs out of the floating cavity through the clearance groove, penetrate the Velcro layer, and embed into the clothing fibers for further fixation. When the movable push block moves in the opposite direction, the linkage push rod drives the piercing base plate to retract the barbs into the floating cavity, detaching them from the clothing for reset.

[0007] In one optional embodiment of this application, the barbs and the piercing substrate form an acute angle toward the bottom of the storage pocket, so that the piercing direction and the pocket opening direction form an oblique insertion relationship; the root diameter of the barbs is larger than its end diameter, forming a tapered structure.

[0008] In one optional embodiment of this application, the puncture substrate includes a first substrate and a second substrate. The two first substrates are respectively disposed in the cavity region of the floating cavity located at the left edge of the badge body and the cavity region located at the right edge of the badge body. The second substrate is disposed in the cavity region of the floating cavity located at the bottom edge of the badge body. The movable push block includes a first push block and a second push block. The linkage push rod includes a first push rod and a second push rod. The two ends of the first push rod are respectively connected to the first substrate and the first push block. The two ends of the second push rod are respectively connected to the second substrate and the second push block.

[0009] In one optional embodiment of this application, the first substrate is integrally formed with the barbs on the first substrate; the second substrate is integrally formed with the barbs on the second substrate.

[0010] In one optional embodiment of this application, the barbs on the first substrate are arranged in a rectangular array; the barbs on the second substrate are arranged in a rectangular array.

[0011] In one optional embodiment of this application, the front of the name tag body is further provided with an upward-opening storage slot, the opening direction of which is consistent with the opening direction of the storage pocket.

[0012] In one optional embodiment of this application, the name tag for medical workers further includes a soft pad, the shape of which matches the edge contour of the name tag body; a plurality of first magnets are spaced apart on the soft pad in areas corresponding to the connecting flange, and a second magnet is provided on the connecting flange in a position corresponding to the first magnets; in use, the soft pad is fixed to the inside of the clothing by the magnetic attraction of the first magnets and the second magnets, so that a buffer isolation layer is formed between the connecting flange and the human body.

[0013] In one optional embodiment of this application, the soft pad is provided with a third magnet at the position corresponding to the opening of the storage pocket, and the name tag body is provided with a fourth magnet at the corresponding position of the opening of the storage pocket; the third magnet and the fourth magnet are positioned corresponding to each other and have opposite magnetic poles; the third magnet and the fourth magnet attract each other, so that the pocket opening remains magnetically closed when not under force.

[0014] In one optional embodiment of this application, the connecting flange is made of a rigid polymer material and has anti-deformation properties; the piercing substrate and barbs are made of high-strength engineering plastic and have the rigidity required for piercing; the area of ​​the nameplate body corresponding to the connecting flange is made of a structural support material, and the remaining areas are made of an elastic deformable material.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5In one embodiment of this utility model, a name tag for medical workers is disclosed, including a name tag body 100, a connecting flange 101 on the back, the connecting flange 101 extending along the left edge, bottom edge and right edge of the name tag body, a floating cavity 102 inside the connecting flange 101, the floating cavity 102 extending along the length of the connecting flange 101, and a clearance groove 1011 communicating with the floating cavity 102 on the back of the connecting flange 101; a Velcro layer 110 covering the side of the connecting flange 101 away from the name tag body 100, used to initially fix the name tag to clothing 140, when the Velcro layer 110 is adhered to the surface of clothing 140, the name tag body and clothing 140 form an upward-opening storage pocket; a barbed claw assembly 120 including a piercing base plate 121, a linkage push rod and a movable push block, the piercing base plate 121 being movably disposed in the floating cavity 101. Inside the 02, the piercing base plate 121 has barbs 122 on the side facing the Velcro layer 110 for further fixing the name badge. The movable push block is slidably disposed on the front of the name badge body. The movable push block has an arc-shaped sliding groove. One end of the linkage push rod is disposed in the floating cavity 102 and hinged to the piercing base plate 121. The middle part is hinged to the inner wall of the floating cavity 102 through a pivot. The other end extends to the front of the name badge body 100 and engages with the sliding groove. When the movable push block moves in the first direction, the linkage push rod drives the piercing base plate 121 to make the barbs 122 extend out of the floating cavity 102 through the avoidance groove 1011, penetrate the Velcro layer 110 and embed into the fibers of the clothing 140 for further fixing. When the movable push block moves in the opposite direction, the linkage push rod drives the piercing base plate 121 to make the barbs 122 retract into the floating cavity 102 and detach from the clothing 140 for reset.

[0027] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 6In the specific implementation process, the name tag is initially attached to the surface of the clothing via the Velcro layer 110 on the back connecting flange 101. At this time, the name tag body and the clothing naturally form an upward-opening storage pocket. Reinforcement is then performed: when the push block is slid along the front of the name tag, its arc-shaped sliding groove drives the linkage push rod. The linkage push rod, with the central pivot as the fulcrum, pushes the piercing plate 121 inside the floating cavity 102 to move, causing the barbs 122 on the piercing plate 121 to protrude from the clearance groove 1011. The sharp barbs 122 sequentially penetrate the Velcro layer 110 and embed into the clothing fibers, forming a mechanical interlocking structure, thereby effectively preventing the name tag from shifting or falling off during activity. To release the fixation, sliding the push block in the opposite direction allows the barbs 122 to completely retract into the floating cavity 102, achieving convenient disassembly. In this embodiment, the name tag is quickly attached and positioned using the Velcro layer 110. At the same time, the name tag body and the clothing 140 cooperate to form an upward-opening storage pocket, which is convenient for medical staff to store small medical supplies. The barbed claw assembly 120 provides reinforced fixation against pulling, effectively preventing the name tag from shifting or falling off during use. Moreover, compared with existing name tags, the name tag in this embodiment can be made larger, thereby displaying more information about medical staff.

[0028] For example, please refer to Figure 3 The barbs 122 and the piercing base plate 121 form an acute angle facing the bottom of the storage pocket, so that the piercing direction and the pocket opening direction form an oblique insertion relationship; the root diameter of the barbs 122 is larger than its end diameter, forming a tapered structure.

[0029] In the specific implementation process, when the movable push block is pushed, the linkage push rod, through the linkage of the sliding slot and the hinge structure, drives the piercing plate 121 to drive the barbs 122 to pierce the clothing fibers at an acute angle of 15°-25°, rather than piercing vertically. The sharp ends of the tapered barbs 122 are inserted into the fabric at an inclined angle, forming a hanging structure similar to a fishhook. This ensures that the tips of the barbs 122 always point downward to avoid piercing the skin, and also greatly improves the tensile strength through the oblique engagement. When releasing the fixation, the movable push block moves in the opposite direction, causing the barbs 122 to withdraw obliquely upward along the original path. The tapered structure allows the fabric fibers to elastically recover, achieving non-destructive disassembly.

[0030] For example, please refer to Figure 1The puncture base plate 121 includes a first base plate 1211 and a second base plate 1212. The two first base plates 1211 are respectively disposed in the cavity region of the floating cavity 102 located at the left edge of the badge body 100 and the cavity region located at the right edge of the badge body 100. The second base plate 1212 is disposed in the cavity region of the floating cavity 102 located at the bottom edge of the badge body 100. The movable push block includes a first push block 125 and a second push block 126. The linkage push rod includes a first push rod 123 and a second push rod 124. The two ends of the first push rod 123 are respectively connected to the first base plate 1211 and the first push block 125. The two ends of the second push rod 124 are respectively connected to the second base plate 1212 and the second push block 126.

[0031] In the specific implementation process, medical staff can choose to push the left first push block 125, the right first push block 125, or the lower second push block 126 as needed. When the left first push block 125 is pushed, the left first push rod 123 drives the left first base plate 1211 to move, so that the left barb 122 can be inserted into the clothing at an angle. Similarly, when the right first push block 125 is pushed, only the right barb 122 moves. In this embodiment, through partitioned fixing, when the left or right first push blocks 125 are operated respectively, the piercing force of the barb 122 is accurately distributed to the corresponding piercing base plate 121, so that the total force is evenly distributed and the concentrated force is avoided. Each piercing base plate 121 only needs to bear the local piercing force, which greatly reduces the risk of excessive force at a single point, reduces the deformation of the piercing base plate 121, and ensures that the barb 122 always maintains the optimal piercing angle. Moreover, the distributed force allows the barb 122 to adjust the piercing depth according to the thickness of different parts of the clothing, so that it can be completely inserted in areas with different thicknesses such as the collar and front.

[0032] For example, the first substrate 1211 is integrally formed with the barbs 122 on the first substrate 1211; the second substrate 1212 is integrally formed with the barbs 122 on the second substrate 1212. The integral forming makes the piercing substrate 121 and the barbs 122 seamlessly connected, improving the structural strength; the overall structure avoids stress concentration at the joints, extending the service life; at the same time, there are no assembly gaps, making it easy to clean and disinfect.

[0033] For example, the barbs 122 on the first substrate 1211 are arranged in a rectangular array; the barbs 122 on the second substrate 1212 are also arranged in a rectangular array. The matrix arrangement with regular spacing forms a uniform force network, distributing the piercing force across the clothing contact surface and avoiding localized stress concentration. Adjacent barbs 122 in the array ensure that each barb 122 can independently grip fabric fibers in different directions, while also preventing fiber tearing caused by excessively close spacing.

[0034] For example, the front of the name tag body 100 is also provided with an upward-opening storage slot 103, and the opening direction of the storage slot 103 is consistent with the opening direction of the storage pocket.

[0035] In the specific implementation process, the storage slot 103 can be used to place the information cards of medical staff. The storage slot 103 is completely physically isolated from the back storage space to ensure that the information cards of medical staff (such as work badges, professional title cards, etc.) placed therein will not be contaminated or scratched by medical supplies such as alcohol swabs in the pocket.

[0036] For example, the name tag for medical workers also includes a soft pad 130, the shape of which matches the edge contour of the name tag body; a plurality of first magnets 131 are spaced apart on the soft pad 130 in the area corresponding to the connecting flange 101, and a second magnet is provided on the connecting flange 101 in the position corresponding to the first magnets 131; in use, the soft pad 130 is fixed to the inside of the clothing 140 by the magnetic attraction of the first magnets 131 and the second magnets, so that a buffer isolation layer is formed between the connecting flange 101 and the human body.

[0037] In the specific implementation process, the name tag body is first initially fixed to the outside of the clothing using the Velcro layer 110 on the back, ensuring that the connecting flange 101 fits tightly against the surface of the clothing. Then, a special soft pad 130 is placed at the corresponding position on the inside of the clothing. The first magnets 131 spaced apart on the soft pad 130 automatically align and attract with the second magnet embedded in the connecting flange 101, forming a stable clamping structure. The medical-grade silicone layer of the soft pad 130 forms a physical isolation barrier on the inside of the clothing, effectively preventing the sharp points of the barbs 122 from contacting the skin during puncture. The magnetic fixing method allows for quick and easy one-handed disassembly and cleaning, making it convenient to use.

[0038] For example, the soft pad 130 is provided with a third magnet 132 at the position corresponding to the opening of the storage pocket, and the name tag body is provided with a fourth magnet 104 at the corresponding position of the opening of the storage pocket; the positions of the third magnet 132 and the fourth magnet 104 are corresponding to each other, and the magnetic poles are set opposite; the third magnet 132 and the fourth magnet 104 attract each other, so that the pocket opening remains in a magnetically closed state when not under force.

[0039] In practice, when not in use, the third magnet 132 and the fourth magnet 104 attract each other, keeping the pocket opening naturally closed and effectively preventing items from accidentally slipping out. When items need to be taken out or put in, the magnetic structure automatically opens with the user's movement; after releasing the hand, the opening immediately returns to its closed state due to the self-aligning properties of the magnets, requiring no additional operation throughout the process. This ensures a tight seal during daily activities without compromising the convenience of one-handed access.

[0040] For example, the connecting flange 101 is made of a rigid polymer material and has anti-deformation properties; the piercing substrate 121 and the barbs 122 are made of high-strength engineering plastic and have the rigidity required for piercing; the area of ​​the badge body corresponding to the connecting flange 101 is made of a structural support material, and the remaining areas are made of an elastic deformation material.

[0041] In this embodiment, the connecting flange 101 is made of a high-strength rigid material to ensure structural stability and no deformation when the barb 122 punctures; the puncture substrate 121 and the barb 122 are made of engineering plastics, which maintain sufficient puncture sharpness and have excellent wear resistance; the name tag body adopts a partitioned design - the key stress area uses a hard material to maintain the overall strength, while the rest uses a flexible material with elastic deformation characteristics, which can not only significantly improve wearing comfort, but also automatically adjust the deformation according to the shape and volume of the items in the pocket to achieve dynamic fit.

[0042] In summary, the name tag for medical workers in this embodiment includes a name tag body 100, a Velcro layer 110, and a barbed claw assembly 120. The back of the name tag body 100 has a connecting flange 101 extending along the left, bottom, and right edges, and a floating cavity 102 is provided inside the connecting flange 101. The Velcro layer 110 covers the back of the connecting flange 101. When attached to clothing 140, the name tag body and clothing 140 form an upward-opening storage pocket for temporary storage of medical supplies. The barbed claw assembly 120 includes a puncture base plate 121, a linkage push rod, and a movable push block within the floating cavity 102. The puncture base plate 121 has barbs 122. When the movable push block is pushed, the linkage push rod moves the puncture base plate 121, causing the barbs 122 to penetrate the Velcro and embed into the clothing fibers for fixation. Reversing the operation easily releases the barbs. This invention uses the Velcro layer 110 to initially fix the name tag, while the name tag body and the clothing 140 cooperate to form an upward-opening storage pocket, which is convenient for medical staff to store small medical supplies; the barbed claw assembly 120 effectively prevents the name tag from shifting and falling off during use.
