Abstract

In this paper we describe an electronic ice cuff system, a flexible wearable device intended for administering cold therapy for athletic injuries. Utilising a feedback loop for temperature management through a third party electronic device, the ice cuff combines inexpensive, commodity hardware; a thermoelectric cooler, a programmed microcontroller, temperature sensor, thermoelectric driver, Bluetooth module, seven segment display, heat sink with cooling fan, 12 V dc supply, connected in a closed circuit. Initial results of this pilot experiment demonstrates that using an electronic ice cuff allows for real-time monitoring of tissue temperature during cold therapy administration, and maintenance of target temperature range for as long as cold therapy is required for the therapy to be effective. This is a clear advantage over traditional icepacks, where tissue temperature falls rapidly when the icepack is applied.
运动员用电子冰袖的分析、设计与制造
在本文中,我们描述了一种电子冰袖系统,一种灵活的可穿戴设备,用于对运动损伤进行冷治疗。通过第三方电子设备利用反馈回路进行温度管理,冰袖结合了廉价的商品硬件;一个热电冷却器,一个可编程微控制器,温度传感器,热电驱动器,蓝牙模块,七段显示,带散热风扇的散热器,12v直流电源,以闭环方式连接。该试点实验的初步结果表明,使用电子冰袖带可以在冷敷期间实时监测组织温度,并在冷敷有效所需的时间内维持目标温度范围。与传统的冰袋相比,这是一个明显的优势,在传统的冰袋应用时,组织温度会迅速下降。
