Abstract

The heat exchanger is used in thermal therapy which involves applying heat to required areas or cools the areas as required. The heat exchanger element (7) is fitted to the outside of an insulating pad (6) which is shaped to cover the area to be treated. The pad is strapped to the patient and is secured by press-fit connections for a simple fitting. The heating elements comprise wire arrays linked to a low voltage supply. Cooling is via narrow bore pipe loops linked to a compact cooling system which incorporates a circulating pump. The heat exchanger can be embedded in the thermal insulation of the pad.

Description

Zur Behandlung bestimmter Erkrankungen wird die Thermo-Therapie angewendet - durch Wärmen oder Kühlen der erkrankten Organe oder Kör­ perstellen.Used to treat certain diseases thermal therapy applied - by warming or cooling the diseased organs or body perstell.

Für die Behandlung mit Wärme sind in der ärztlichen Praxis Infrarot-Strahlgeräte oder Kurzwellengeneratoren im Einsatz, im Hausge­ brauch Heizkissen oder Wärmflasche, auch die Anwendung heißer Umschläge ist bekannt. Zur Kühlung werden Eispackungen oder kalte Um­ schläge angewendet.For the treatment with heat are in the medical practice infrared radiation equipment or Shortwave generators in use, in the house need heating pad or hot water bottle, even that The use of hot envelopes is known. For Cooling will be ice packs or cold order blows applied.

Technisch aufwendige Geräte, wie Infrarot- Strahlgeräte oder Kurzwellengeneratoren kom­ men aufgrund des Anschaffungspreises und des erforderlichen spezifischen Wissens im Umgang mit solchen Geräten nur für den Einsatz in einer Arztpraxis in Betracht.Technically complex devices, such as infrared Blasting machines or shortwave generators com based on the purchase price and the required specific knowledge in dealing with such devices only for use in a doctor's office.

Die im Hausgebrauch üblichen Heizkissen oder Wärmflaschen sind für eine örtlich dosierte Wärmebehandlung nicht gut geeignet, weil eine Anpassung an das zu behandelnde Körperteil nur bedingt möglich ist, z. B. an einem Gelenk von Bein oder Arm. Es sind Vorrichtungen zur Thermo-Therapie bekannt, die in der Art eines Heizkissens konstruiert und in der Form der Körper-Form angepaßt sind. Sie sind deshalb aber nur an dem Körperteil anwendbar, für den sie geformt sind. Heiße Umschläge haben eine relativ kurze Wirkdauer und wenig Möglich­ keit, die Temperatur zu regeln. Das gleiche gilt auch für die üblichen Mittel einer Kühl­ behandlung.The usual heating pads or at home Hot water bottles are for a locally dosed dose Heat treatment not well suited because of a Adaptation to the part of the body to be treated is only possible to a limited extent, e.g. B. on a joint of leg or arm. There are devices for Thermotherapy known in the manner of a Heating pad constructed and in the shape of the Body shape are adjusted. That is why you are but only applicable to the part of the body for which they are shaped. Hot envelopes have one relatively short duration of action and little possible ability to regulate the temperature. The same also applies to the usual means of cooling treatment.

Aufgabe ist es, Vorrichtungen zu entwickeln, die eine einfache Anwendung - auch im Haus - ermöglichen, eine gute Anpassung an die zu behandelnden Körperstellen/Körperteile ermög­ lichen, in der Temperatur geregelt werden können und preisgünstig sind. The task is to develop devices which is easy to use - also in the house - enable a good adaptation to the Treating body parts / body parts possible be regulated in the temperature can and are inexpensive.  

Diese Aufgabe wird in der Weise gelöst, daß die Vorrichtungen aus einer Trägerbandage be­ stehen, auf der mindestens ein Element zur Thermo-Behandlung in der Plazierung variabel befestigt werden kann.This problem is solved in such a way that the devices from a carrier bandage be have at least one element on it Placement of thermal treatment variable can be attached.

Die Trägerbandage kann die Form einer Binde, eines Tuches oder eines Korsetts haben. Sie weist auf der dem Körper zugewandten Seite eine Einrichtung zur variablen Befestigung des Elementes zur Thermo-Behandlung, etwa ein Klettband auf. Das Element zur Thermo-Be­ handlung hat die Form eines flachen Kissens, das auf der dem Körper abgewendeten Seite ebenfalls eine Einrichtung zur variablen Be­ festigung aufweist, etwa ein Velourband zur Haftung auf dem Klettband.The carrier bandage can take the form of a bandage, a scarf or corset. she points to the side facing the body a device for variable attachment of the element for thermal treatment, such as a Velcro on. The element for thermo-loading action is in the form of a flat pillow, that on the side facing away from the body also a device for variable loading strengthening, such as a velor tape Adhesion on the Velcro.

Die Elemente zur Thermo-Behandlung sind in verschiedenen Größen ausgebildet. Je nach Art des zu behandelnden Körperteiles oder Organes wird die passende Trägerbandage und das pas­ sende Element zur Thermo-Behandlung ausge­ wählt und auf der Trägerbandage fixiert. Bei­ spielsweise wird zur Behandlung eines Kniege­ lenkes eine Binde als Trägerbandage und ein kleines Element zur Thermo-Behandlung aus­ gewählt. In dieser Kombination läßt sich die Vorrichtung leicht um das Gelenk wickeln und der Form des Gelenkes anpassen. Zur Thermo- Behandlung bei einer Nierenerkrankung würde man als Trägerbandage ein Tuch oder Korsett und zwei größere Elemente zur Thermo-Behand­ lung verwenden und diese Elemente auf dem Tuch oder Korsett so befestigen, daß sie ge­ nau auf die zu behandelnden Körperstellen wirken.The elements for thermal treatment are in different sizes. Depending on the type of the body part or organ to be treated the right carrier bandage and the pas send out element for thermal treatment chooses and fixed on the carrier bandage. At for example, to treat a knee steer a bandage and a bandage small element for thermal treatment chosen. In this combination, the Lightly wrap the device around the joint and adapt to the shape of the joint. For thermal Treatment for kidney disease would a bandage is a cloth or corset and two larger elements for thermal treatment use lung and these elements on the Fasten the cloth or corset so that it is ge exactly on the parts of the body to be treated Act.

Die Elemente zur Behandlung mit Wärme (Wärme- Element) sind elektrisch beheizt und etwa in der Form und Konstruktion eines Heizkissens ausgebildet. The elements for treatment with heat (heat Element) are electrically heated and approximately in the shape and construction of a heating pad educated.  

Die Heizelemente, z. B. Heizdrähte, und deren elektrische Isolierung sind so ausgelegt, daß eine möglichst große Flexibilität gegeben ist. In einer möglichen Ausführungsform sind die Heizelemente für Niederspannung, z. B. 24 Volt, ausgelegt, um eine Gefährdung durch Stromschlag zu vermeiden. Eine solche Gefähr­ dung kann bei unsachgemäßer Handhabung eines Heizelementes, das für z. B. 220 Volt ausge­ legt ist, bestehen. Die Wandlung der Spannung von 220 V auf 24 V erfolgt durch einen außer­ halb der Vorrichtung liegenden Transformator.The heating elements, e.g. B. heating wires, and their electrical insulation are designed so that given the greatest possible flexibility is. In one possible embodiment the heating elements for low voltage, e.g. B. 24 Volts, designed to pose a hazard Avoid electric shock. Such a danger If used improperly, a Heating element for z. B. 220 volts is to exist. The change of tension from 220 V to 24 V is done by an exception half of the device lying transformer.

Die gewünschte Temperatur kann an einem Ther­ mostat eingestellt und in üblicher Weise die Leistungsaufnahme zur Einhaltung der einge­ stellten Temperatur geregelt werden.The desired temperature can be set on a Ther mostat set and in the usual way the Power consumption to comply with the set temperature can be regulated.

Elemente zur Thermo-Behandlung durch Kühlung (Kühl-Element) werden ebenfalls in verschie­ denen Größen ausgebildet. Sie sind im Inneren von flexiblen Schläuchen kleinen Durchmessers durchzogen, die auf der dem Körper abgewende­ ten Seite durch eine flexible Isolierauflage, z. B. einem Vliesstoff, abgedeckt sind. Auf der dem Körper zugewendeten Seite bildet die aus einem flexiblen Material gebildete Grund­ lage des Elementes eine leichte Polster-Ab­ deckung.Elements for thermal treatment by cooling (Cooling element) are also in different which sizes trained. You are inside of flexible hoses of small diameter pulled through that on the avert of the body th side thanks to a flexible insulation pad, e.g. B. a nonwoven are covered. On the side facing the body forms the made of a flexible material layer of the element has a light cushion cover cover.

Durch die Schläuche wird eine gekühlte Flüs­ sigkeit gepumpt, durch eine kleine, außenlie­ gende elektrisch betriebene Pumpe. Die Flüs­ sigkeit wird durch eine kleine, ebenfalls au­ ßenliegende und elektrisch betriebene Kälte­ maschine gekühlt. Die gewünschte Temperatur der Kühlflüssigkeit wird an einem Thermostat eingestellt und in üblicher Weise über die Einschaltdauer der Kältemaschine geregelt. Kältemaschine und Pumpe können in einer zweckmäßigen Ausführungsform zu einem Block zusammengefaßt sein. A chilled river flows through the hoses pumped through a small, external electric pump. The rivers liquid is replaced by a small, also external and electrically operated cold machine cooled. The desired temperature the coolant is on a thermostat set and in the usual way via the Duty cycle of the chiller regulated. Chiller and pump can be combined in one expedient embodiment to a block be summarized.
