Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a temperature-controlled blanket, and more particularly to a temperature-controlled blanket for infrared heating lamps, belonging to the field of medical device technology. Background Technology

[0002] Infrared heating lamps work by emitting infrared electromagnetic waves of specific wavelengths, using their thermal effect and biostimulation to promote tissue repair and relieve pain.

[0003] After surgery, patients usually need to apply heat to the affected area to help the body recover. Patients with arthritis and rheumatism also need to use heat to relieve pain. Heat can raise the temperature of local tissues, accelerate blood circulation, and relieve inflammation and congestion. Heat can also stimulate cell metabolism, promote the absorption of inflammatory substances and the repair of damaged tissues.

[0004] Current techniques typically involve applying hot towels or hot water bottles directly to the affected area, or using infrared lamps for heat therapy. These methods are difficult to control the temperature of the heat, especially when the affected area is numb (due to anesthesia or incision pain making it difficult to distinguish the source of pain) or when the patient is asleep during the heat therapy. The difficulty in controlling the temperature in these conventional heat therapy methods greatly increases the risk of overheating and burning the affected area. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a temperature-controlled blanket for infrared heating lamps to solve the problem of burns that easily occur when applying heat to affected areas in the prior art.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the infrared heating lamp temperature control blanket involved in this utility model adopts the following technical solution: an infrared heating lamp temperature control blanket includes a blanket with a Velcro fastening structure. Three plug-in connectors are fixed on the outer surface of the blanket. Triangular brackets are provided on the plug-in connectors. Three support rods of the triangular brackets are respectively inserted into the three plug-in connectors. The upper part of the triangular bracket has an annular fixing frame for the lamp head of the infrared heating lamp to be inserted, which is fixed to the upper part of the three support rods. A C-shaped clamp for hanging the lamp head of the infrared heating lamp is fixed on the inner wall of the annular fixing frame. The support rods are telescopic rods.

[0007] A temperature sensor is installed on the outer surface of the blanket between three connectors. The temperature sensor is connected to the processor. The processor controls the alarm to sound when it receives a signal that the temperature is higher or lower than the set temperature.

[0008] The alarm device mentioned is an alarm device with light alarm.

[0009] When the processor receives a temperature signal higher than 44 degrees, it controls the alarm to sound and illuminate a red light.

[0010] When the processor receives a temperature signal between 40 and 44 degrees Celsius, it controls the alarm to not sound and illuminates a green light.

[0011] When the processor receives a temperature signal below 40 degrees Celsius, it controls the alarm to sound and illuminate a yellow light.

[0012] The blanket has a double-layer structure, with an outer layer that is temperature-sensitive and an inner layer that is cotton.

[0013] The outer layer of the blanket is a carbon nanotube conductive fabric.

[0014] The inner and outer layers of the blanket are joined together with Velcro.

[0015] The blanket of this invention has three plug-in heads fixed to its outer surface. Each plug-in head has a triangular bracket, and three support rods of the triangular bracket are respectively inserted into the three plug-in heads. The upper part of the triangular bracket has an annular fixing frame fixed to the upper part of the three support rods for the lamp head of the infrared heating lamp to extend into. The inner wall of the annular fixing frame has a C-shaped clamp for hanging the lamp head of the infrared heating lamp. The blanket is fixed to the infrared heating lamp by the triangular bracket. When in use, the blanket is placed on the affected area. The infrared rays emitted by the infrared heating lamp do not directly irradiate the affected area, but instead irradiate the blanket to heat it up and apply heat to the affected area. The blanket absorbs some of the heat, making it less likely to burn the affected area compared to direct irradiation by the infrared heating lamp.

[0016] The blanket of this invention has a temperature sensor installed in its connector. The temperature sensor is connected to a processor, which activates an alarm upon receiving a signal indicating that the temperature is higher or lower than the set temperature. The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the blanket and transmits the detected temperature signal to the processor. The processor activates the alarm when the temperature is higher or lower than the set temperature to alert the patient or caregiver, preventing burns from excessive heat or loss of therapeutic effect from insufficient heat.

[0019] To make the technical objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model; that is, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0020] Specific embodiments of the temperature-controlled blanket for infrared heating lamps involved in this utility model are described below. Figures 1-4 The device includes a blanket 1, which is used to cover the area of ​​the patient requiring heat therapy. The blanket 1 has a Velcro fastening structure 2, which is a conventional fastening method in the prior art and will not be described in detail here. The Velcro fastening structure 2 is used to fix the blanket 1 to the area of ​​the patient requiring heat therapy, preventing the blanket 1 from shifting or slipping off the affected area during the heat therapy process. Three insertion tubes 3 are fixed to the outer surface of the blanket 1. Triangular brackets 4 are provided on the insertion tubes 3. The three support rods of the triangular brackets 4 are respectively inserted into the three insertion tubes 3. The upper part of the triangular brackets 4 has an annular fixing frame 5 fixed to the upper part of the three support rods for the lamp head of an infrared heat lamp (not shown in the figure) to extend into. The inner wall of the annular fixing frame 5 is fixed with a C-shaped clamp 6 for hanging the lamp head of the infrared heat lamp. The C-type clamp 6 can clamp and fix the triangular bracket 4 to the lamp head of the infrared heat lamp, thereby indirectly fixing the blanket 1 so that the blanket 1 is in the irradiation area of ​​the infrared heat lamp. The infrared heat lamp is not part of the structure of this utility model and needs to be equipped separately for subsequent use. The infrared heat lamp heats the blanket 1 by irradiating infrared rays, and the heated blanket 1 can be used to apply heat to the affected area. The support rod of the triangular bracket 4 is a telescopic rod. By extending and adjusting the length of the support rod, the distance between the blanket 1 and the lamp head of the infrared heat lamp can be adjusted.

[0021] Specifically, a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure) is installed on the outer surface of the blanket 1 in the middle of the three plugs 3. The temperature sensor is connected to the processor (not shown in the figure). The processor can be fixed on the tripod 4, or it can be suspended on the tripod 4 or the blanket 1 by a wire. The transmission method between the temperature sensor and the processor is existing technology. The temperature sensor senses the temperature of the blanket 1 and transmits the sensed temperature signal to the processor. An alarm is connected to the processor. After receiving a signal that the temperature is higher or lower than the set temperature, the processor controls the alarm to sound to remind the patient or caregiver.

[0022] Specifically, the alarm is a light-based alarm. It consists of a horn and an indicator light. Upon receiving an alarm signal from the processor, the horn sounds an alarm while the indicator light illuminates, simultaneously alerting the patient or caregiver with both sound and light signals.

[0023] Specifically, when the processor receives a temperature signal higher than 44 degrees Celsius, it controls the alarm to sound and illuminate a red light.

[0024] Specifically, when the processor receives a temperature signal between 40 and 44 degrees Celsius, it controls the alarm to not sound and illuminates a green light.

[0025] Specifically, when the processor receives a temperature signal below 40 degrees Celsius, it controls the alarm to sound and illuminate a yellow light.

[0026] Specifically, blanket 1 has a double-layer structure. The outer layer of blanket 1 is a temperature-sensing layer, and the inner layer is a cotton layer. The temperature-sensing layer can absorb infrared rays to raise its temperature and transfer the temperature to the cotton layer and the temperature sensor. The cotton layer is soft and skin-friendly, which can improve comfort.

[0027] Specifically, the outer layer of the blanket is made of carbon nanotube conductive fabric. Carbon nanotube conductive fabric has excellent conductivity and stability, which can improve the sensitivity and reliability of the temperature sensor.

[0028] Specifically, the inner and outer layers of the blanket are joined together using Velcro. Velcro consists of two parts: a rounded pile side and a bristle side. These two sides can adhere to each other upon contact, a common assembly method and existing technology.

[0029] In the above embodiment, a temperature sensor is provided on the outer surface of the blanket between the three plugs. This is an optimized technical solution. In other embodiments, the temperature sensor can also be provided on the outside of the plug.

[0030] In the above embodiment, the alarm is an alarm with light alarm, which is an optimized technical solution. In other embodiments, the alarm may only have sound alarm function.

[0031] In the above embodiment, when the processor receives a temperature signal higher than 44 degrees, it controls the alarm to sound and illuminate a red light. This is an optimized technical solution. In other embodiments, when the processor receives a temperature signal higher than 44 degrees, it can also control the alarm to sound but not illuminate the light.

[0032] In the above embodiment, when the processor receives a temperature signal between 40 and 44 degrees, it controls the alarm not to sound and lights up a green light. This is an optimized technical solution. In other embodiments, the processor may also not light up when it receives a temperature signal between 40 and 44 degrees.

[0033] In the above embodiment, when the processor receives a temperature signal below 40 degrees Celsius, it controls the alarm to sound and illuminate a yellow light. This is an optimized technical solution. In other embodiments, when the processor receives a temperature signal below 40 degrees Celsius, it can also control the alarm to sound but not illuminate the light.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the blanket has a double-layer structure, with the outer layer being a temperature-sensitive layer and the inner layer being a cotton layer. This is an optimized technical solution. In other embodiments, the blanket may have only one temperature-sensitive layer.

[0035] In the above embodiments, the outer layer of the blanket is a carbon nanotube conductive fabric, which is an optimized technical solution. In other embodiments, the outer layer of the blanket can also be a common conductive fabric, such as a heating wire conductive fabric.

[0036] In the above embodiments, the inner and outer layers of the blanket are joined together by Velcro. In other embodiments, the inner and outer layers of the blanket can also be joined together in other ways, such as by setting a snap fastener between them.

[0037] The temperature sensor, processor, alarm, horn, and indicator light in the above embodiments are all commercially available components and belong to the prior art.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only for illustration and not for limiting the technical solutions of this utility model. Any equivalent substitutions and modifications or partial substitutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
