Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of saliva aspiration technology, specifically a novel saliva aspirator. Background Technology

[0002] During clinical oral examinations, dental implant surgeries, and treatments, suction devices are often used to aspirate saliva, water, blood, and other substances from the patient's mouth to maintain a clear operating field and ensure the smooth progress of the dental surgery.

[0003] In intensive care units, comatose patients are unable to swallow or spit out saliva, which can easily lead to saliva entering the trachea and causing suffocation, especially when using a ventilator. Nurses must manually clean the saliva from patients at regular intervals, greatly increasing the workload of monitoring nurses. To address this issue, a saliva suction device (see patent number: 201621365077.X) is provided, which includes a straw with a metal ball at one end and the other end inserted into and connected to the top of a collection tank. The top of the collection tank is also equipped with a negative pressure connector that connects to a negative pressure generator. This invention solves the problem of the difficulty in cleaning the saliva from comatose patients. Moreover, this invention has a simple and practical structure and has great market potential.

[0004] However, most of the saliva aspirators currently available on the market do not have protective components for the suction head, causing the suction head to come into direct contact with the work surface when not in use, resulting in cross-infection. This leads to poor hygiene during use, reducing the usage rate. In addition, most of them do not have a dedicated disinfection device, requiring a separate device to disinfect after each use. They cannot effectively disinfect themselves anytime and anywhere, which greatly affects their usability.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, a new type of saliva aspirator has emerged. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing suction heads lack protective components, causing them to come into direct contact with the workbench when not in use, resulting in cross-infection and poor hygiene during use. Furthermore, most of them lack dedicated disinfection devices and cannot effectively disinfect themselves anytime and anywhere, which greatly affects their usability. Therefore, this invention provides a new type of saliva suction device.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a novel saliva aspirator, comprising a housing, wherein an aspiration component is provided on the top of the housing;

[0008] The suction assembly includes a suction tube, a suction head on one side of the suction tube, a protective member on the outside of the suction head, a baffle on the side of the protective member away from the suction tube, an elastic member on the inner wall of the protective member, and clips on the top and bottom of one side of the protective member. The top and bottom of the suction tube near the suction head are provided with slots.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a push handle is provided on one side of the outer casing, and a caster wheel is provided on one side of the top of the outer casing.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: the top of the outer shell is provided with a placement groove, the four corners of the bottom of the outer shell are provided with control panels, and the side of the outer shell away from the push handle is provided with a storage tank.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the bottom of the suction tube is provided with a fixing clip, and the bottom of the fixing clip is provided with a disinfection box.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the protective component is elastically connected to the suction tube via an elastic element.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the protective component is locked to the suction tube by two sets of slots and clips.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. This utility model compresses the elastic element by pushing the protective component backward, while the suction head pushes the baffle open. After the protective component is pushed to the bottom, the locking component moves into the slot. Then, the protective component is rotated to lock the locking component into the slot, thereby effectively protecting the suction head and preventing it from being contaminated by direct contact with the workbench during placement, thus improving its practicality and hygiene.

[0016] 2. This utility model effectively protects the suction head by setting a suction component, reducing damage to it from the external environment. At the same time, corresponding disinfecting sponges can be stored inside the protective component and at the protective end of the suction head. These disinfecting sponges are directly fixedly connected to the protective component and movably connected to the suction head. When the suction head moves, they will first contact the end of the suction head. When the suction head is returned to the inside of the protective component after use, it will also contact the disinfecting sponge in advance and undergo simple disinfection treatment. This facilitates the fixing and disinfection of the suction head and makes it convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a novel saliva aspirator, including a housing 1, characterized in that an aspiration component 2 is provided on the top of the housing 1;

[0025] The suction assembly 2 includes a suction tube 201, a suction head 202 on one side of the suction tube 201, a protective member 203 on the outside of the suction head 202, a baffle 205 on the side of the protective member 203 away from the suction tube 201, an elastic member 204 on the inner wall of the protective member 203, and a locking member 206 on the top and bottom of one side of the protective member 203. A slot 207 is provided on the top and bottom of the side of the suction tube 201 near the suction head 202.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a push handle 3 is provided on one side of the outer casing 1, and a caster wheel 4 is provided on one side of the top of the outer casing 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the push handle 3 facilitates the pushing operation of the device, making the device easier to use, while the caster wheel 4 facilitates the multi-angle displacement of the device, meeting the usage requirements of moving the device to different positions.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the top of the outer casing 1 is provided with a placement slot 5, and the four corners of the bottom of the outer casing 1 are provided with control panels 7. The side of the outer casing 1 away from the push handle 3 is provided with a storage tank 6.

[0029] In this embodiment, the placement slot 5 facilitates the placement of other components, and the control panel 7 facilitates the control of the device and the display of data, making it convenient for the user.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bottom of the suction tube 201 is provided with a fixing clip 208, and the bottom of the fixing clip 208 is provided with a disinfection box 209.

[0031] In this embodiment, the fixing clip 208 can conveniently clamp and fix the suction tube 201 when the device is not in use, reducing the displacement of the suction tube 201. The disinfection box 209 can disinfect the suction head 202 in a timely manner after use, increasing the practicality of the device.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the protective element 203 is elastically connected to the suction tube 201 via the elastic element 204.

[0033] In this embodiment, the elastic element 204 is also called a spring, which is a mechanical part that works by utilizing elasticity. The part is made of elastic material and deforms under the action of external force. After the external force is removed, it returns to its original shape. It is also called a "spring". It is generally made of spring steel. There are many types of springs. According to the shape, there are mainly helical springs, spiral springs, leaf springs, and special-shaped springs. This embodiment mainly uses helical springs, which can provide the force for the protective element 203 to automatically spring back to its original position.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the protective component 203 is locked to the suction tube 201 through two sets of slots 207 and clips 206.

[0035] In this embodiment, the slot 207 and the card 206 can lock and limit the position of the protective member 203 when using the device, reducing the cumbersome work of having to hold the protective member 203 all the time.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the suction tube 201 is removed from the fixing clamp 208, the protective member 203 is pushed backward, the elastic member 204 is compressed, and at the same time the suction head 202 pushes the baffle 205 open. After the protective member 203 is pushed to the bottom, the locking member 206 moves into the slot 207. Then the protective member 203 is rotated so that the locking member 206 is locked into the slot 207, thus locking the protective member 203. The device is started through the control panel 7, and the patient's saliva is suctioned through the suction head 202 and flows into the storage tank 6. When the suction is completed, when the suction head 202 is inserted into the disinfection box 209, the disinfection sponge will absorb the disinfection liquid inside the disinfection box 209 and store it in that position for a period of time, effectively disinfecting the surface of the suction head 202.

[0037] After disinfection, the protective component 203 is rotated in the opposite direction to disengage the locking component 206 from the locking slot 207. Under the elastic force of the elastic component 204, the protective component 203 is pushed back to its original position. The suction component 2 set in this device can effectively protect the suction head 202 and reduce damage to it from the external environment. At the same time, it can facilitate the fixing and disinfection of the suction head 202, making it convenient to use.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
