Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sputum removal machines, and in particular to a sputum removal machine probe protection structure. Background Art

[0002] In the medical field, expectorants play a key role in the recovery of patients with respiratory diseases. However, traditional expectorant probes have exposed many problems during actual use. First, when operating a traditional expectorant, the probe needs to be placed against the patient's back. This process is difficult for one person to complete and usually requires assistance from others. Secondly, when using conventional probes, they mostly rely on manual gripping, and the manually applied pressing force is difficult to accurately control. If other devices are used for gripping, the connection between the device and the probe is often a rigid connection. When the probe vibrates, the vibration is easily transmitted to the device, causing damage to the device. In addition, the existing protective structure is not effective in buffering vibrations, resulting in poor working stability of the probe, which in turn affects the expectoration effect. Finally, in terms of fixing methods, traditional designs are difficult to firmly fix the probe and cannot adapt well to the physical characteristics of different patients, resulting in poor patient comfort during use. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In response to the above-mentioned technical deficiencies, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a sputum removal machine probe protection structure, which solves the problems of easy damage of traditional probes, poor sputum removal effect and poor patient experience through special fixing, buffering and fitting design, and realizes the functions of protecting the probe, improving the sputum removal effect and optimizing the patient experience.

[0010] Preferably, the probe is mounted on a support tube, and the liquid outlet pipe of the probe passes through the inside of the support tube. One end of the ball sleeve is provided with a locking end, and a locking ring is screwed onto the outside of the locking end. When the locking ring is in a locking state, the ball sleeve is locked on the support tube.

[0011] Preferably, the outer periphery of the locking end is in the shape of a conical thread, and the middle portion of the locking end is provided with a plurality of axially distributed relief grooves.

[0012] Preferably, both the tail of the probe and the bottom of the installation groove are provided with a clamping groove for clamping the elastic body.

[0030] The present invention is described below with specific examples, but is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1-8 As shown, in this embodiment, a protective structure for a sputum removal machine probe 4 is provided, comprising a housing 1 and a fixing unit.

[0033] The interior of the shell 1 is provided with a mounting groove for installing the probe 4. An opening is provided on one side of the mounting groove, and a fitting plate 2 attached to the affected part is installed at the opening. The shell 1 serves as the external frame of the entire protective structure, and the mounting groove provided inside provides a specific installation space for the probe 4. The opening facilitates the coordinated work of the probe 4 and the fitting plate 2. The fitting plate 2 installed at the opening is in direct contact with the patient's affected part, ensuring that the force generated by the probe 4 can be accurately transmitted to the affected part when the sputum removal machine is working. The shell 1 protects the internal probe 4 and structures such as the fixing unit from external physical damage. At the same time, through the design of the fitting plate 2, an effective connection channel is established between the probe 4 and the patient's body, ensuring that the sputum removal machine can perform its sputum removal function normally.

[0034] The fixing structure includes a fixing structure provided at the bottom of the mounting groove. The fixing structure is capable of connecting the probe 4 to the mounting groove. During operation, the fixing structure can withstand the vibration generated by the operation of the probe 4 and the external force, thereby preventing the probe 4 from moving within the mounting groove. The fixed position of the probe 4 in the mounting groove ensures the stability of the probe 4 during operation, thereby ensuring the stable working performance of the sputum removal machine and preventing the sputum removal effect from being affected by shaking or displacement of the probe 4.

[0035] An elastic body 3 is connected between the probe 4 and the mounting slot, a mounting hole is provided in the housing 1, and a bellows 7 is connected between the fixed structure and the mounting hole. The fixed structure can move in multiple directions within the bellows 7. The elastic body 3 connected between the probe 4 and the mounting slot provides support for the probe 4, buffering the vibration generated by the probe 4 and the external impact force during the operation of the probe 4, reducing the impact of vibration on the probe 4 itself and the entire protective structure. The bellows 7 connected between the mounting hole provided in the housing 1 and the fixed structure provides space for the fixed structure to move in multiple directions. When the expectorant is operating at different positions or angles, the fixed structure can move in multiple directions within the bellows 7 according to actual conditions to adapt to different working scenarios. At the same time, the bellows 7 also plays a certain role in shock absorption and protection of the fixed structure. The elastic body 3 effectively protects the probe 4 from vibration damage, extending the service life of the probe 4. The bellows 7 gives the fixed structure multidirectional movement capability, increasing the flexibility of the expectorant, enabling it to better adapt to different patient body parts and expectoration needs. It also plays a certain protective role for the fixed structure, improving the reliability of the entire protective structure.

[0036] The bonding plate 2 is a soft plate. Through holes are provided on the upper and lower sides of the bonding plate 2. A connecting belt 8 is slidably installed inside each through hole. Buckles 10 are installed at both ends of the same connecting belt 8. The soft plate can better fit the patient's skin when in contact with the patient, thereby improving the patient's comfort. The through holes on the upper and lower sides are used to install the connecting belt 8. The connecting belt 8 can slide in the through holes, making it easy to adjust the position of the connecting belt 8. The buckles 10 installed at both ends of the same connecting belt 8 can be used to fix the protective structure of the sputum removal machine probe 4 on the patient's body. By adjusting the position of the connecting belt 8 in the through hole and the buckling position of the buckle 10, it can adapt to the size and shape of different patient body parts, achieve stable fixation of the sputum removal machine probe 4 on the patient's body, improve the stability of the sputum removal machine during use, and avoid affecting the sputum removal effect due to structural shaking. At the same time, the design of the soft board bonding plate 2 and the adjustable connecting belt 8 improves the patient's comfort and the applicability of the structure.

[0037] Adjustment straps 9 are fixed to both sides of the laminating plate 2. A handle is installed at the end of the adjustment strap 9 away from the laminating plate 2. The adjustment straps 9 fixed on both sides of the laminating plate 2 can be pulled to adjust the fit and position of the laminating plate 2 against the patient's body. The handle installed at one end of the adjustment strap 9 away from the laminating plate 2 makes it easier for the patient to operate the adjustment strap 9 themselves. By holding the handle and pulling the adjustment strap 9, the position and fit of the laminating plate 2 can be more accurately controlled.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] like Figures 1-8 As shown, based on the first embodiment, this embodiment provides a fixed structure, which is as follows:

[0040] The fixed structure includes a ball sleeve 11 that is sleeved on the housing 1 of the probe 4. A ball ring 14 is sleeved on the outside of the ball sleeve 11. The ball sleeve 11 and the ball ring 14 are connected by a spherical surface. The bellows 7 is connected between the mounting groove and the ball ring 14. The ball sleeve 11 provides a direct connection carrier for the probe 4. The ball ring 14 sleeved on the outside of the ball sleeve 11 is connected to the ball sleeve 11 through a spherical surface. This spherical connection method allows the ball sleeve 11 to rotate in multiple directions within the ball ring 14. When the working position or angle of the sputum removal machine changes, the probe 4 can be adaptively adjusted through the spherical connection between the ball sleeve 11 and the ball ring 14. The bellows 7 is connected between the mounting groove and the ball ring 14, transmitting the movement of the ball ring 14 to the entire fixed structure, thereby driving the probe 4 to adjust its position. The ball sleeve 11 and the bellows 7 give the probe 4 the ability to flexibly adjust in multiple directions.

[0041] The bellows 7 is a circular ring structure with a V-shaped corrugation in the middle. Several metal strips 15 are radially connected to the interior of the bellows 7, and multiple metal rings 16 are also connected to the interior of the bellows 7. The V-shaped corrugation gives the bellows 7 excellent flexibility and deformability. The radially connected metal strips 15 increase the structural strength of the bellows 7, preventing it from excessive deformation or damage when subjected to external forces. The metal rings 16 further enhance the overall stability of the bellows 7. They also help maintain the shape of the bellows 7 and guide its deformation during multi-directional movement of the fixed structure. When the fixed structure moves, the bellows 7 adapts by deforming itself, smoothly transmitting this movement while absorbing some of the vibration. This ensures that the fixed structure can flexibly deform and adapt during multi-directional movement while maintaining a certain strength and stability, preventing damage caused by the movement of the fixed structure. It also effectively reduces shock, protecting the internally connected fixed structure and the probe 4, and extending the service life of the entire protective structure.

[0042] The material of the bellows 7 is rubber, and a plurality of annular V-grooves are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the bellows 7. The material of the bellows 7 is rubber, and rubber has good flexibility, elasticity and wear resistance. The multiple annular V-grooves provided on the inner and outer sides further enhance the flexibility and deformability of the bellows 7. When the fixed structure moves in multiple directions, the rubber bellows 7 can adapt to displacement in various directions through the deformation of the V-grooves, and the rubber material can also effectively absorb vibrations. In addition, the design of the V-grooves also increases the contact area between the bellows 7 and the outside world, which helps to dissipate heat and avoid damage to the bellows 7 and the internal structure caused by heat accumulation generated by long-term work.

[0043] The probe 4 is mounted on a support tube 6, and the liquid outlet pipe of the probe 4 passes through the interior of the support tube 6. A locking end 12 is provided at one end of the ball sleeve 11, and a locking ring 13 is screwed onto the exterior of the locking end 12. When the locking ring 13 is in the locked state, the ball sleeve 11 is locked onto the support tube 6. The locking end 12 at one end of the ball sleeve 11 is screwed onto the exterior of the locking ring 13. When the locking ring 13 is rotated to lock it, the locking ring 13 generates inward pressure on the locking end 12 of the ball sleeve 11. Due to the special design of the locking end 12, this pressure causes the ball sleeve 11 to embrace the support tube 6, thereby firmly locking the ball sleeve 11 onto the support tube 6, thereby achieving reliable fixation of the probe 4 on the support tube 6, preventing the probe 4 from being displaced on the support tube 6 due to vibration or other external forces during operation of the sputum discharge machine, ensuring the stability of the probe 4 and guaranteeing the normal operation and sputum discharge effect of the sputum discharge machine.

[0044] The outer periphery of the locking end 12 is a tapered thread, and the middle portion of the locking end 12 is provided with a plurality of axially distributed relief grooves. A locking ring 13 is threadedly connected to the outer portion of the locking end 12 at one end of the ball sleeve 11. When the locking ring 13 is rotated to lock it, it exerts inward pressure on the locking end 12 of the ball sleeve 11. Due to the special design of the locking end 12, this pressure causes the ball sleeve 11 to embrace the support tube 6, thereby firmly locking the ball sleeve 11 to the support tube 6 and thereby securing the probe 4 to the support tube 6.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, based on the first and second embodiments, this embodiment provides a method for installing the elastic body 3, which is as follows:

[0047] The tail of the probe 4 and the bottom of the mounting slot are both provided with a slot 5 for engaging the elastic body 3. When the sputum discharge machine is working, the vibration generated by the probe 4 and the impact force from the outside will be transmitted to the elastic body 3 through the slot 5. The elastic body 3 absorbs and cushions these vibrations and impacts through its own elastic deformation, reducing their impact on the probe 4 and the mounting slot, providing a stable connection for the elastic body 3, ensuring that the elastic body 3 can effectively play a buffering and shock-absorbing role, protecting the probe 4 from vibration damage, while reducing the impact of vibration on the entire mounting slot and the shell 1 structure, and improving the reliability of the protective structure of the sputum discharge machine probe 4.

[0048] The elastomer 3 is a conical spring. The diameter of the elastomer 3 connected to the probe 4 is smaller than the diameter of the elastomer 3 connected to the housing 1. When the sputum removal machine is working, when the probe 4 is subjected to vibration or impact, the conical spring at the smaller diameter end is deformed first. Due to its smaller diameter, deformation is more sensitive, and it can quickly absorb and buffer smaller vibrations. As the vibration or impact force increases, the larger diameter end of the spring gradually participates in the deformation, further enhancing the buffering effect. At the same time, this structural design of the conical spring makes its elastic deformation ability in different directions different, which can better adapt to the forces applied to the probe 4 in different directions. The special structure of the conical spring is used to achieve efficient buffering of the vibration of the probe 4, and can effectively protect the probe 4 under different vibration intensities. Compared with ordinary springs, the buffering force can be adjusted more accurately according to the vibration situation, improving the seismic performance of the probe 4 and extending the service life of the probe 4.

[0049] Working principle:

[0050] The various components of the protective structure of the sputum extraction machine probe 4 work together to ensure the stable operation of the probe 4. In the fixed structure, the ball sleeve 11 is sleeved on the probe 4 housing 1 and spherically connected to the outer ball ring 14. When the position of the sputum extraction machine changes, the ball sleeve 11 and the ball ring 14 drive the probe 4 to rotate in multiple directions, achieving flexible angle adjustment to adapt to affected areas in different positions. The corrugated body 7 is a circular ring structure. The V-shaped corrugation in the middle gives it good flexibility. The internal metal strip 15 and metal ring 16 enhance strength and stability. When the fixed structure moves, it transmits displacement and reduces shock through its own deformation. Its rubber material and internal and external V-groove design further enhance deformation capacity and vibration absorption.

[0051] The probe 4 is mounted on the support tube 6, with the liquid outlet pipe passing through the tube. The locking end 12 at one end of the ball sleeve 11 is fixed by a screwed locking ring 13. The conical thread of the locking end 12 generates uniform pressure when the locking ring 13 is tightened. The axially distributed clearance grooves help the ball sleeve 11 better fit the support tube 6, preventing the probe 4 from being displaced by external forces such as vibration during operation. The probe 4 and the bottom of the mounting groove are connected to the elastomer 3 through the card slot 5. The elastomer 3 is a conical spring. During operation, the vibration and impact force generated by the probe 4 are transmitted to the spring through the card slot 5. The small diameter end first deforms sensitively to buffer small vibrations, and the large diameter end deforms as the vibration intensifies, effectively protecting the probe 4.

[0052] The fitting plate 2 is soft, and slidable connecting belts 8 are installed in the through holes on the upper and lower sides. The protective structure is stably fixed on the patient's body through the buckles 10 at both ends, which improves the comfort of use and structural applicability. The adjustment belts 9 and handles on both sides of the fitting plate 2 are convenient for adjusting the fit and position, thereby improving the use effect of the sputum removal machine and the patient experience.
