Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a device, specifically an auxiliary condom device for a B-ultrasound probe. Background Art
[0002] Endovaginal ultrasound is vaginal B-ultrasound, which is a method of performing ultrasound diagnosis by inserting a B-ultrasound probe into the vagina or rectum. It is especially suitable for observing pelvic organs in the small pelvis. Compared with abdominal B-ultrasound, the images of endovaginal ultrasound are clearer and more vivid, the results are more accurate, and the examinee does not need to "hold urine". In this way, the vagina and cervix can be examined, and the situation inside the uterus can also be clearly observed. The probe itself is smooth and coated with a lubricant, which helps to reduce local mucosal damage during the whole process, so endovaginal ultrasound will not cause pain to the examinee.
[0003] Although endovaginal ultrasound is good, there are many examinees, and the probe needs to be disinfected after each use, which is very troublesome. Therefore, before endovaginal ultrasound, a disinfected coupling agent is applied to the probe, and then a disposable condom is put on the outside of the probe. After use, the whole thing is taken out, and the disposable condom is removed from the B-ultrasound probe. When the probe is used again, only the above steps need to be repeated.
[0004] Although the above method is good, it is not the best for medical staff, because medical staff still need to change disposable gloves each time during the examination, and one hand has to be left free to write the medical condition and issue prescriptions at the beginning or end, which is the most troublesome thing. For medical staff, the most ideal solution is for the B-ultrasound probe to automatically put on and take off the condom.
[0005] So far, there is no corresponding equipment in the gynecological endovaginal ultrasound examinations in each hospital, and there is basically none in the patent library either. Only a B-ultrasound probe condom automatic removal and recycling device disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No.: CN201602794U provides a solution to detach the condom on the B-ultrasound probe through a condom removal hook according to the disclosed content, and no other technical revelations are given, such as automatically putting on the condom. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the technical problem that the existing B-ultrasound probe cannot automatically put on a condom, and provide a B-ultrasound probe automatic condom device.
[0007] The technical solution for the problem to be solved by the present invention is as follows:
[0008] Auxiliary B-ultrasound probe condom device, characterized in that: it includes a condom cavity; a condom inlet is provided above the condom cavity, and a condom clip is provided in the condom cavity corresponding to the condom inlet. The condom clip is divided into a first part and a second part. The first part is connected to the output shaft of the pushing mechanism, and a spring abuts against the side of the second part; the other end of the spring is fixed on a convex block on the inner wall of the condom cavity.
[0009] A clamping frame is provided at the opening of the condom cavity, and the clamping frame can be flipped on the edge of the opening.
[0010] The condom clip is circular, and a circular groove is provided along the annular surface on the opposite surface of the first part and the second part.
[0011] A disinfected coupling agent spray hole is provided on the inner cavity wall of the condom cavity near the opening.
[0012] The pushing mechanism is a cylinder.
[0013] During the pushing process of the output shaft of the cylinder, the condom clip can be expanded.
[0014] The output shaft of the cylinder and the first part are connected by a flexible push rod composed of chain blocks.
[0015] The condom inlet can be connected to a condom input mechanism; the condom input mechanism includes a condom conveying part, a condom packaging cutting part and an extrusion mechanism for extruding the condom out of the packaging bag. The condom conveying part conveys and fixes the condom into the condom packaging cutting part to cut off a corner of the packaging, and then the extrusion mechanism extrudes the condom and squeezes it into the condom inlet.
[0016] A condom inlet is provided above the condom cavity, and a condom clip is provided in the condom cavity corresponding to the condom inlet. One side of the condom clip is connected to the output shaft of a cylinder, and the other side has a groove on the surface and the surface is inclined
[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0018] The present invention assists in putting a condom on the B-ultrasound probe. Without direct contact between the operator and the condom body and the B-ultrasound probe, the whole process is clean and hygienic, and a large amount of time can be saved. Description of the Drawings

[0024] Figure 6 It is a schematic cross-sectional structural diagram of another implementation manner of the jacket clip of the present invention. Specific implementation manner
[0025] The present invention will be further elaborated in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , an auxiliary B-ultrasound probe condom device, including a condom cavity 1; a condom squeezing inlet 2 is provided above the condom cavity 1, and a jacket clip is provided in the condom cavity 1 corresponding to the condom squeezing inlet 2. The jacket clip is divided into a first part 3 and a second part 4. The first part 3 is connected to the output shaft 51 of a pushing mechanism 5, and a spring 6 abuts against the side of the second part 4; the other end of the spring 6 is fixed on a convex block 11 on the inner wall of the condom cavity 1.
[0027] In the present invention, the groove of the condom squeezing inlet 2 has the same width and length as the condom when it is curled, and the condom squeezing inlet 2 can be detached from the condom cavity 1 and is used for cleaning and disinfection. After the condom squeezing inlet 2 is detached from the condom cavity 1, the jacket clip below it and the inner cavity wall of the condom cavity 1 can be cleaned and disinfected with a disinfectant cotton.
[0028] The power supply of the pushing mechanism 5 can be controlled separately by a button, and the button can be set outside the device. A housing can also be provided on the outside of the device to beautify the appearance of the device.
[0029] The implementation principle of the present invention is as follows:
[0030] Additional reference Figure 4 , tear the outer package of the condom A along the serrated edge or cut it with scissors, then align the tear opening with the condom squeezing inlet 2, squeeze it with fingers above the packaging bag, the condom A is extruded from the packaging bag and falls into the lower condom squeezing inlet 2, and then falls from the condom squeezing inlet 2 into the space between the first part 3 and the second part 4 of the jacket clip as shown in Figure 2 .
[0031] Next, insert the B-ultrasound probe C deep into the condom cavity 1, and activate the pushing mechanism 5. The output shaft 51 of the pushing mechanism 5 then pushes the first part 3 of the clamp to press the condom A towards the B-ultrasound probe. During this process, the spring 6 behind the second part 4 of the clamp is compressed, and the coiled body of the condom A slowly unfolds under the resistance of the B-ultrasound probe until the coiled edge of the condom A can no longer be clamped by the clamp. To prevent accidents, it is set that the output shaft 51 of the pushing mechanism 5 has just completed its stroke at this time, and then the B-ultrasound probe can be removed from the condom cavity 1.
[0032] Then, the output shaft 51 of the pushing mechanism 5 in the condom cavity 1 retracts. The second part 4 of the clamp is pushed back to its original position under the elastic force of the spring 6 and waits for the condom A to enter again from the condom inlet 2.
[0033] Before use, the B-ultrasound probe C can be fixed in the condom cavity 1. When needed, insert the condom, activate the pushing mechanism 5, and then the B-ultrasound probe can be taken out.
[0034] Furthermore, as an improvement to the embodiment, refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 4 . A clamping frame 7 is provided at the cavity opening 12 of the condom cavity 1, and the clamping frame 7 can be flipped on the edge of the cavity opening 12.
[0035] In the present invention, continue to refer to Figure 4 and Figure 1 . After the B-ultrasound probe C is inserted deep into the condom cavity 1, the clamping frame 7 flips up from below. The clamping opening 71 of the clamping frame 7 clamps the end of the B-ultrasound probe C and makes the part extending into the condom cavity 1 hang in the condom cavity 1, so that the axial direction of the B-ultrasound probe is parallel to the cavity axis direction of the condom cavity 1.
[0036] Furthermore, as an improvement to the embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 2 . The clamp is circular, and a circular groove 34 is provided along the annular surface on the opposite surfaces of the first part 3 and the second part 4.
[0037] In the present invention, the circular groove 34 is beneficial for the clamp to clamp the condom A in the front-back direction, but also provides a necessary gap for the unfolding of the condom A.
[0038] In addition, as an improvement to the embodiment, a disinfection coupling agent spray hole (not marked in the figure) is provided on the inner cavity wall of the condom cavity 1 near the cavity opening 12.
[0039] In the present invention, the spraying of the disinfection coupling agent from the spray hole (not marked in the figure) can be controlled by a sensor. That is, during the process of the B-ultrasound probe moving deeper, the B-ultrasound probe blocks the sensor, and the sensor controls the high-pressure electromagnetic pump to pressurize the chamber where the disinfection coupling agent is placed, forcing the disinfection coupling agent to spray out from the spray hole (not marked in the figure), and the spraying time is set, such as 1 second, 2 seconds or 3 seconds, to complete the spraying of the disinfection coupling agent at the end of the B-ultrasound probe during the process of the B-ultrasound probe moving deeper into the condom-wearing cavity 1.
[0040] In addition, as an improvement to the embodiment, the pushing mechanism 5 is a cylinder.
[0041] During the process of the output shaft 51 of the cylinder pushing, the jacket clip can be expanded.
[0042] Refer to Figure 5 , the structure of the jacket clip is multi-segmented, that is, there are small springs 35 connected between each segment. The front end of the output shaft 51 should be hinged to the ends of several push rod sleeves 36. Each push rod sleeve corresponds to each segment of the jacket clip. A position-fixed blocking block 37 is provided in the middle of the push rod sleeve 36. When the cylinder pushes the push rod sleeve 36 forward through the output shaft 51, because the position of the blocking block 37 is fixed, each rod of the push rod sleeve 36 will force each segment of the jacket clip to expand. The expansion also causes the sleeve A to expand. In this embodiment, when the jacket clip is matched with the groove on the curled edge of the sleeve, it should protrude downward, which is beneficial to prevent the sleeve A from bouncing back to the middle due to the elastic force of the curled edge during expansion, so as to slide out of the groove.
[0043] Furthermore, as an improvement to the embodiment, refer to Figure 3 , the output shaft 51 of the cylinder is connected to the first part 3 by a chain block 31 to form a bendable push rod 32.
[0044] In the present invention, the cylinder and the condom-wearing cavity 1 are arranged in a straight line, so the length of the space occupied is relatively long and it is inconvenient to place the device. However, through the bent setting of the push rod 32, the length of the space occupied by the device can be reduced by more than half, which is beneficial to the miniaturization and upgrade of the device.
[0045] Furthermore, as an improvement to the embodiment, the condom inlet 2 can be connected to a condom input mechanism (not marked in the figure); the condom input mechanism (not marked in the figure) includes a condom conveying part, a condom packaging cutting part and an extrusion mechanism for extruding the condom out of the packaging bag. The condom conveying part conveys and fixes the condom into the condom packaging cutting part to cut off a corner of the packaging, and then the extrusion mechanism extrudes the condom and extrudes it into the condom inlet.
[0046] In the present invention, the condom input mechanism (not marked in the figure) can realize the automatic unpacking process of the condom with a packaging bag, which can save a lot of time.
[0047] In addition, when implementing the present invention, refer toFigure 6 , a condom extrusion inlet 2 is provided above the condom cavity 1, and a condom clip is provided in the condom cavity 1 corresponding to the condom extrusion inlet 2. One side of the condom clip is connected to the output shaft of a pushing mechanism, and the other side has a groove on its surface and the surface is inclined.
[0048] When the inclined surface is pushed by the output shaft of the cylinder, the condom can be inclined and trapped in the groove, so that the condom will not be overturned during the pushing process, and it is not necessary to divide the condom clip into two parts.
[0049] When the present invention is applied, an automatic condom removal mechanism can also be provided. In the later stage, a recovery device similar to a B-ultrasound probe cover automatic condom removal and recovery device disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN201602794U can be added to solve the problem of condom removal. However, for a B-ultrasound probe, there is still a space between the existing condom and the B-ultrasound probe after it is unfolded, that is, after use, the B-ultrasound probe is relatively easy to break away from the condom. For example, it can be pulled out by clamping the end of the condom with tweezers.
