Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical tools, and in particular to an ice pack device. Background Technology

[0002] Medical ice packs are widely used in cold compress therapy for medical purposes such as reducing fever, relieving swelling and pain, and inhibiting inflammation. Common medical ice packs are soft bags filled with water. Before use, they should be frozen in a refrigerator. Once the water has cooled, the ice pack can be removed for cold compresses. There are also disposable ice packs, also known as quick-cooling ice packs. These consist of water and ammonium salts such as ammonium sulfate stored separately in soft bags. Disposable ice packs do not need to be frozen; simply squeeze them to mix the water and ammonium sulfate. The ammonium sulfate dissolves in the water and absorbs heat, cooling the water, which can then be used for cold compresses.

[0003] When using medical ice packs, a towel needs to be wrapped around them to prevent frostbite. To prevent the ice pack from shifting, it is often necessary to secure it to the application site using methods such as tying. After a period of use, medical ice packs absorb heat and become warm, so they need to be replaced with new, cooled ice packs. The replacement process often involves disassembling the securing structure, unwrapping the towel, removing the used ice pack, wrapping the new ice pack with a towel, and re-secured it to the application site—a rather cumbersome procedure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an ice pack device that can easily and quickly restore the ice pack to a cooled state.

[0005] The technical solution adopted to solve the above problems is as follows: The ice pack device includes an ice pack and an ice water supply device; the ice pack includes a bag body and two pipe joints, the bag body is rectangular in shape, and the two pipe joints are connected to the two opposite corners of the bag body respectively; the ice water supply device includes a device frame, an insulated water bottle, a water pump, a water supply pipe, a water recovery bottle, and a water return pipe. The insulated water bottle and the water recovery bottle are both placed on the device frame, and the water pump is installed on the device frame. The water pump can draw water from the insulated water bottle. The two ends of the water supply pipe are the proximal end and the distal end of the water supply pipe, respectively. The proximal end of the water supply pipe is connected to the water pump. The two ends of the water return pipe are the proximal end and the distal end of the water return pipe, respectively. The proximal end of the water return pipe is connected to the device frame and faces the water recovery bottle; the distal ends of the water supply pipe and the distal ends of the water return pipe can be connected to the two pipe joints respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, the chilled water supply device includes rollers that are connected to the bottom of the device frame.

[0007] Furthermore, the device frame has push-pull handles.

[0008] Furthermore, the device rack has an insulated water bottle frame, and the insulated water bottle is placed inside the insulated water bottle frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the device rack has a recycling water bottle placement plate, on which the recycling water bottle is placed.

[0010] Furthermore, the device frame has a water supply pipe frame and a return water pipe frame, with the water supply pipe placed inside the water supply pipe frame and the return water pipe placed inside the return water pipe frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the recycling kettle includes a recycling kettle body, a handle, and a carrying handle. The handle is connected to the side of the recycling kettle body, and the carrying handle is hinged to the top of the recycling kettle body.

[0012] Furthermore, the ice pack includes multiple dividers, including a first divider and a second divider. The dividers are arranged inside the bag along the width direction of the bag body, and the dividers are spaced apart along the length direction of the bag body. The first divider and the second divider are arranged alternately. There is a distance between the first divider and one end of the bag body along the width direction, and there is a distance between the first divider and the other end of the bag body along the width direction. The dividers create a tortuous liquid channel inside the bag body.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: When using this invention, the ice pack is wrapped in a towel and fixed to the ice application area, just like existing ice packs, with the pipe connector exposed. An insulated water bottle is filled with ice water. After applying the ice pack for a period of time, when the ice pack absorbs heat and becomes less effective, the ice water supply device is pushed next to the patient, and the distal ends of the supply and return water pipes are connected to the two pipe connectors respectively. The water pump is turned on, drawing in the ice water from the insulated water bottle and outputting it to the supply water pipe, which then delivers it to the ice pack. The newly introduced ice water squeezes out the existing heated water in the ice pack and delivers it to the return water bottle through the return water pipe. This allows the used, heated ice pack to cool down again, making it usable again.

[0014] Compared with existing methods of replacing ice packs for continuous ice application, this invention achieves continuous ice application by simply connecting and disconnecting the water supply and return pipes from the ice pack; it eliminates the need to replace the ice pack, unwrap and rewrap the towel, or unsecure the old ice pack and resecure the new one; it is more time-efficient and convenient; and it ensures uninterrupted ice application, thus improving the effectiveness of ice application therapy.

[0015] This invention is applicable to hospital inpatient areas and is used when multiple patients are receiving ice packs. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the ice pack device includes an ice pack 2 and an ice water supply device 1. The ice pack 2 includes a bag body 21 and two pipe connectors 22. The bag body 21 is rectangular in shape, and the two pipe connectors 22 are connected to the two opposite corners of the bag body 21, respectively. The ice water supply device 1 includes a device frame 11, an insulated water bottle 14, a water pump 15, a water supply pipe 16, a water recovery bottle 13, and a water return pipe 17. The insulated water bottle 14 and the water recovery bottle 13 are both placed on the device frame 11, and the water pump 15 is mounted on the device frame. On the 11, the water pump 15 can draw water from the thermos 14. The two ends of the water supply pipe 16 are the proximal end 161 and the distal end 162, respectively. The proximal end 161 is connected to the water pump 15. The two ends of the return pipe 17 are the proximal end 171 and the distal end 172, respectively. The proximal end 171 is connected to the device frame 11 and faces the recovery water tank 13. The distal end 162 of the water supply pipe and the distal end 172 of the return pipe can be connected to two pipe joints 22 respectively.

[0023] In use, the ice pack 2 is wrapped with a towel and fixed to the ice application area, just like existing ice packs, with the pipe connector 22 exposed. The insulated water bottle 14 is filled with ice water. After a period of ice application, the ice pack 2 absorbs heat and heats up until it loses its ice-applying effect. The ice water supply device 1 is pushed next to the patient, and the distal end 162 of the supply pipe and the distal end 172 of the return pipe are connected to the two pipe connectors 22 respectively. The water pump 15 is turned on, drawing in the ice water from the insulated water bottle 14 and outputting it to the supply pipe 16, which then delivers it to the ice pack 22. The newly introduced ice water squeezes out the existing heated water in the ice pack 2 and delivers it from the return pipe 17 to the recycling water bottle 13. This allows the ice pack 2, after being heated, to cool down again and be reused.

[0024] Compared with existing methods of replacing ice packs for continuous ice application, this invention achieves continuous ice application by simply connecting and disconnecting the water supply pipe 16 and the return pipe 17 from the ice pack 2; it eliminates the need to replace the ice pack 2, unwrap and rewrap the towel, or unsecure the old ice pack and resecure the new one; it is more time-efficient and convenient; and it ensures uninterrupted ice application, thus improving the effectiveness of ice application therapy.

[0025] This invention is applicable to hospital inpatient areas and is used when multiple patients are receiving ice packs.

[0026] The device frame 11 can be made of plastic, aluminum, or steel. The device frame 11 can mainly have two layers: the upper layer is used to install the insulated water bottle 14, the water pump 15, and the water supply pipe 16; the lower layer is used to install the recycling water bottle 13 and the return water pipe 17.

[0027] The preferred mounting bracket 11 has an insulated water bottle frame 112, within which the insulated water bottle 14 is placed. This provides better stability for the insulated water bottle 14. If it is necessary to clean the insulated water bottle 14 or empty the water from it, the insulated water bottle 14 can be removed. The water pump 15 is connected to the insulated water bottle 14 via a flexible hose; to remove the insulated water bottle 14, simply separate the hose from it. The mounting bracket 11 should have appropriate openings to allow for easy access for connecting and disconnecting the hose.

[0028] The preferred device rack 11 has a recycling water bottle placement plate 111, on which the recycling water bottle 13 is placed. The water collected by the recycling water bottle 13 needs to be emptied, and the recycling water bottle 13 is frequently removed from the device rack 11. Therefore, it is convenient to place the recycling water bottle 13 on the recycling water bottle placement plate 111 to facilitate its removal from the market and placement on the device rack 11.

[0029] To properly store the water supply pipe 16 and the return pipe 17, the preferred device frame 11 has a water supply pipe frame 113 and a return pipe frame 114. The water supply pipe 16 is placed in the water supply pipe frame 113, and the return pipe 17 is placed in the return pipe frame 114. When the water supply pipe 16 and the return pipe 17 are needed, they can be removed from the frames.

[0030] The ice water supply device 1 needs to be moved within the hospital. It is moved to the ward when ice water is being added to the ice pack 2, and to the refrigeration equipment when water needs to be added to the thermos flask 14. To facilitate movement of the ice water supply device 1, it is preferable that the device includes casters 12, which are connected to the bottom of the device frame 11. The device frame 11 has a push-pull handle 115.

[0031] The insulated water bottle 14 is designed according to existing insulated water bottle structures, including a body and a lid. The body has a water inlet and can be a double-layered structure with a vacuum between the two layers for insulation. The lid is located on the water inlet and ensures a tight seal. Unlike conventional insulated water bottles, the insulated water bottle 14 has a suction pipe at its lower end for connection to a water pump 15. The insulated water bottle 14 has a capacity of approximately 5L.

[0032] Since the recycling water bottle 13 does not require insulation, it only needs to be a plastic water container and does not need a lid. Because the recycling water bottle 13 is frequently taken out to empty, it preferably includes a bottle body 132, a handle 133, and a lifting handle 131. The handle 133 is connected to the side of the bottle body 132, and the lifting handle 131 is hinged to the top of the bottle body 132. The handle 133 facilitates pulling the recycling water bottle 13 out of the device holder 11, while the lifting handle 131 facilitates lifting the recycling water bottle 13. The volume of the recycling water bottle 13 can be approximately 5L.

[0033] The material of the bag body 21 can be the same as that of existing ice packs. The structure of the pipe connector 22 and the way it is connected to the distal end of the water supply pipe 162 and the distal end of the water return pipe 172 can both use existing technology. The pipe connector 22 can be connected to the bag body 21 through a flexible hose. When connecting the pipe connector 22 to the distal end of the water supply pipe 162 or the distal end of the water return pipe 172, the flexible hose can be bent to prevent water from leaking out of the bag body 21.

[0034] Since this invention relies on squeezing out the existing water inside the ice pack 2 while injecting water into it, two pipe joints 22 are needed to be connected to the opposite corners of the bag body 21, which facilitates the complete squeezing out of the water inside the ice pack 2. To further facilitate the complete squeezing out of the water inside the ice pack 2, the ice pack 2 preferably includes multiple partitions, including a first partition 23 and a second partition 24. The partitions are arranged inside the bag body 21 along the width direction, and the partitions are spaced apart along the length direction of the bag body 21. The first partition 23 and the second partition 24 are arranged alternately. There is a distance between the first partition 23 and one end of the bag body 21 along the width direction, and there is a distance between the first partition 23 and the other end of the bag body 21 along the width direction. The partitions create a tortuous liquid channel 25 inside the bag body 21.

[0035] Whether the water in the ice pack 2 has been completely replaced can be determined by the start time of the water pump 15, for example, the ice pack 2 can indicate the time required for water filling.
