Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of neonatal care technology, specifically a warming wrapping device for neonatal care. Background Technology

[0002] In neonatal care, newborns' thermoregulatory centers are not fully developed, making them susceptible to temperature fluctuations due to external environmental influences. Keeping them warm is a crucial aspect of care. Currently, newborn care swaddles that combine warmth and sleep-inducing functions are available on the market. These typically have an electric heating pad and a liquid-containing chamber inside the swaddle. The heating pad heats the liquid in the chamber, using the heat to provide continuous warmth to the newborn.

[0003] Authorization announcement number CN217091259U discloses a neonatal nursing warming swaddle device, including a support leg, a box at the top of the support leg, a water tank inside the box, liquid inside the water tank, a sealing cloth on top of the water tank, a blanket on top of the sealing cloth, the sealing cloth sealing the water tank, a thermostat mechanism inside the water tank to maintain a constant liquid temperature, and a simulation mechanism inside the box to simulate the uterine environment. The device uses the simulation mechanism to tap the liquid container, causing the liquid to vibrate and generate white noise, simulating the sounds of the uterine environment to help newborns fall asleep quickly. However, the device has shortcomings in practical use. On the one hand, its simulation mechanism is only located in a localized area of ​​the liquid, resulting in low interference with the water body. The coverage area of ​​the white noise generated by tapping the water is small, making it difficult to evenly affect the newborn's surrounding environment. On the other hand, the single water tapping vibration method produces white noise with a relatively fixed frequency and timbre, resulting in a monotonous sound. Prolonged use can easily lead to auditory adaptation in newborns, reducing the sleep-inducing effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a warming wrapping device for neonatal care.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0027] Example

[0028] like Figures 1-5As shown, a neonatal nursing warming and wrapping device includes an incubator 1. The opening of the incubator 1 is detachably equipped with a warming cover 13, which maintains a stable temperature inside the box and facilitates nursing operations by medical staff. The inner cavity of the incubator 1 is equipped with a heat-conducting partition 11, which divides the inner cavity of the incubator 1 into an upper neonatal care trough (for placing the newborn) and a lower warming liquid chamber (for containing warming liquid). The top wall of the liquid chamber has two upward-extending wrapping branches, which are located on both sides of the care trough to form a wrapping and warming structure. The heat from the liquid in the liquid chamber wraps and warms the newborn from both sides, improving the uniformity of warmth, simulating the feeling of being surrounded by the womb, and enhancing the newborn's sense of security.

[0029] The nursing tub is equipped with a flexible pad 111 that fits into the inner wall of the nursing tub. Multiple incline heat-conducting strips 112 are embedded in the outer wall of the flexible pad 111, and the bottom of the incline heat-conducting strips 112 fits into the inner wall of the nursing tub. The flexible pad 111 improves the comfort of newborns and avoids discomfort caused by hard contact. The incline heat-conducting strips 112 are made of aluminum alloy, which can expand the heat conduction area, make the temperature of the flexible pad 111 uniform, ensure that the contact area of ​​the newborn is warm, and at the same time, do not affect the softness of the flexible pad 111.

[0030] An irregular surface 12 is provided on one side of the inner bottom wall of the liquid chamber. The irregular surface 12 is a periodically arranged wave-shaped or sawtooth-shaped structure, or a group of non-periodic protruding structures. By designing an irregular surface morphology on the inner bottom wall of the liquid chamber, irregular vibrations can be generated when the liquid impacts, thereby forming a variety of white noises. This solves the problem of monotonous white noise generated by traditional single water tapping and improves the sleep-aiding effect.

[0031] The disturbance mechanism 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 rotatably disposed in the liquid chamber, on which at least one impeller 22 and a stirring element are fixedly sleeved, the stirring element being located on the other side of the relatively irregular surface 12 in the liquid chamber; the stirring element includes a plurality of first stirring blades 23 and at least two second stirring blades 24, the free ends of the plurality of second stirring blades 24 extending into the two enclosing branches of the corresponding liquid chamber respectively.

[0032] The first stirring paddle 23 has a V-shaped cross-section, and the second stirring paddle 24 has an arc-shaped cross-section. When the impeller 22 rotates under the impact of water flow, the concave surfaces of the first stirring paddle 23 and the second stirring paddle 24 face the area where the irregular surface 12 is located. The V-shaped and arc-shaped structures can enhance the water flow disturbance intensity, ensure uniform water flow in the liquid cavity, and avoid local temperature differences. The second stirring paddle 24 extends to the wrapping branch, which can drive the liquid circulation in the branch and ensure uniform heat preservation effect of the wrapping branch. The concave surface orientation design can guide the water flow to the irregular surface 12, increase the probability and force of the liquid impacting the irregular surface 12, and enhance the white noise effect.

[0033] Thermal insulation component 3 includes:

[0034] At least one heating element 31 is disposed in the liquid cavity. In addition, at least one temperature sensor and control chip are disposed in the liquid cavity or nursing tank. The two are electrically connected to the heating element 31, which can stably control the liquid temperature in the liquid cavity, provide continuous and appropriate warmth for the newborn, and meet the newborn's body temperature regulation needs.

[0035] A silent water pump 32 is installed at the bottom of the insulated box 1. Its outlet and inlet are connected to a drain pipe 321 and an inlet pipe 322, respectively. One end of both the drain pipe 321 and the inlet pipe 322 extends into the liquid chamber, and the outlet of the drain pipe 321 points towards the impeller 22 so that the discharged water flow drives the impeller 22 to rotate. The impeller 22 converts the impact force of the water flow into the rotational power of the shaft 21. In addition, the silent design avoids the noise of the water pump operation from disturbing the newborn's sleep. The water flow drives the impeller 22 to rotate, replacing the traditional motor drive, which further reduces the overall noise of the device. The liquid circulation can make the liquid heated by the heating element 31 evenly distributed, avoiding local overheating or undercooling in the liquid chamber and ensuring stable heating effect.

[0036] In addition, it should be noted that both the disturbance mechanism 2 and the silent water pump 32 are located on one side of the bottom of the incubator 1, and this side is away from the newborn's head, further reducing noise interference to the newborn.

[0037] When the staff starts the silent water pump 32, the impeller 22 is controlled by the water flow from the drain pipe 321 to rotate the shaft 21 and the stirring component, disturbing the water flow and causing the liquid to flow and impact the irregular surface 12, forming irregular white noise to soothe the newborn. Because the irregular surface 12 has different shapes with unevenness, when the liquid guided by the stirring component impacts the surface, it will produce liquid rebounds and eddies of different directions and intensities due to the different shapes of the surface. At the same time, the collision frequency of the liquid impacting different positions on the surface will also have slight differences. These rebounds, eddies and frequency differences are superimposed to finally form irregular white noise with no fixed timbre and frequency, simulating the womb environment, while covering or weakening sudden external noises, creating a relatively stable auditory environment for the newborn and reducing the impact of external interference on sleep.

[0038] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
