Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a device, specifically to an automatic condom - wearing device for B - ultrasound probes. Background Art

[0002] Endovaginal ultrasound, also known as transvaginal ultrasound, 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, it can explore the vagina and cervix and clearly observe the situation inside the uterus. The probe itself is smooth and coated with a lubricant, which helps to reduce local mucosal damage during the whole process, so endovaginal ultrasound does 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, for medical staff, it is not the best, because medical staff still need to change disposable gloves every time during the examination, and one hand has to be left free to write down the condition and issue prescriptions at the beginning or end, which is the most troublesome thing. For medical staff, the most ideal solution is that the B - ultrasound probe can automatically wear and remove 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. Judging from the disclosed content, it only provides a solution to detach the condom on the B - ultrasound probe through a detaching hook, and does not give other technical inspirations, such as automatically putting on the condom, etc. 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 wear a condom, and thus provide an automatic condom - wearing device for B - ultrasound probes.

[0007] The technical solution for the problem to be solved by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] B-ultrasound probe automatic condom device, characterized in that: it includes a condom mechanism; the condom mechanism includes a condom storage bin, a continuous propulsion mechanism is provided on one side of the condom storage bin, an outlet is provided at the bottom of the other side of the bin, and a condom outlet mechanism is provided above the condom storage bin corresponding to the outlet; a condom clip is provided corresponding to the lower part of the outlet, the condom clip is arranged at the end of a condom pushing rod, and the end of the condom pushing rod can perform a piston movement under the control of a pushing mechanism in a B-ultrasound probe placement cavity.

[0009] The condoms in the condom storage bin are curled naked condoms and are stacked in multiple layers. After being packaged in an aluminum cylinder and opened, the condoms can be pushed out by the continuous propulsion mechanism into the condom clip below the outlet.

[0010] The condoms are clamped by a fixed clip composed of a separable left and right clip.

[0011] The continuous propulsion mechanism consists of a spring and a push cover with one end of the spring placed on top.

[0012] The condom outlet mechanism is connected to the structure of the continuous propulsion mechanism. While the continuous propulsion mechanism pushes the condoms in the condom storage bin, the condom outlet mechanism pushes the condoms out of the outlet.

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a condom automatic covering device for a B-ultrasound probe, comprising a covering mechanism; the covering mechanism includes a condom storage bin 1, a continuous propulsion mechanism 2 is arranged on one side of the condom storage bin 1, an outlet 3 is arranged at the bottom of the other side, and a condom outlet mechanism 4 is arranged above the condom storage bin 1 corresponding to the outlet 3. The condom outlet mechanism 4 includes a relay, a spring and a top plate. The lower end of the top plate corresponds to the condom in the condom storage bin 1. The spring abuts on the top plate, and the other end of the spring is sleeved and fixed around the relay; a condom clamping clip 5 is arranged corresponding to the lower part of the outlet 3. The condom clamping clip 5 is arranged at the end of a condom pushing rod 6, and the end of the condom pushing rod 6 can perform a piston movement under the control of a pushing mechanism 8 in a B-ultrasound probe placement cavity 7. A bracket 9 for fixing the B-ultrasound probe is arranged at the orifice of the placement cavity 7. The bracket 9 is used to make the end of the B-ultrasound probe suspended when the B-ultrasound probe penetrates into the placement cavity 7 and make the axial direction of the end parallel to the cavity axis of the placement cavity 7.

[0025] The condom clamping clip 5 is provided with a groove for matching the curled edge of the condom.

[0026] The condom clamping clip 5 is composed of two parts. The first part 61 is fixed at the end of the condom pushing rod 6, and the second part 62 is fixed to one end of a spring 63. The other end of the spring 63 is fixed to a convex block 71 arranged on the inner wall of the placement cavity 7.

[0027] When the present invention is implemented, the condom clamping clip 5 can also only have the first part 61, because after the condom is put on the B-ultrasound probe, only the first part 61 of the condom clamping clip 5 needs to continue to push forward.

[0028] The pushing mechanism is a cylinder.

[0029] The relay, the cylinder, etc. can be controlled separately by a button, or the power control wire can be connected to a single-chip microcomputer, and the sequential use time interval of the relay and the cylinder can be controlled through clock logic. In addition, without a single-chip microcomputer, a delay switch can also be used to connect to the control power lines of the two places. Just start the delay switch simultaneously after one of the switches is pressed, and the delay switch can be used to delay the opening of the other switch.

[0030] For the sake of convenience in use, the button can be directly arranged by the bracket 9. The arrangement method is that after the B-ultrasound probe penetrates into the placement cavity 7, the corresponding part is clamped into the bracket 9, so that the outer wall of the B-ultrasound probe contacts the button on the inner side wall of the bracket 9, and the button is pushed into the inner side wall after the B-ultrasound probe is clamped to achieve opening. Or, the button connected to the delay switch is arranged on the frame body of the bracket 9, and the button can be pressed immediately by the thumb after being clamped.

[0031] A housing can also be provided outside the device to beautify the appearance of the device.

[0032] In the present invention, when the relay is energized, the out-set mechanism 4 generates a magnetic force to suck up the top plate. The continuous propulsion mechanism 2 pushes the sleeve in the sleeve storage bin 1 forward. When the relay is de-energized, the magnetic force is lost, and the top plate, under the action of the spring, pushes the sleeve out of the out-set port 3 again.

[0033] In addition, when implementing the out-set mechanism 4, it can also be set as follows. That is, the out-set mechanism 4 includes a relay, a spring and a top plate. Springs are arranged on both sides or the upper ends of both sides of the sleeve in the sleeve storage bin 1. The movable ends of the springs abut against the top plate. A limiting channel is provided between the top plate and the relay. A magnetic pole is provided at the upper end of the top plate. When the relay is de-energized, the spring holds the top plate and does not fall. When the relay is energized, a magnetic force is generated, which is opposite to the magnetic plate at the upper end of the top plate. When the magnetic force is greater than the elastic force of the spring, the top plate is pressed downward, and at the same time, the sleeve is pushed out of the out-set port 3.

[0034] Furthermore, when pushing out the sleeve, in terms of the structure of the top plate, since the spring bounces upward below, notches can be provided on both sides of the top plate from bottom to top. The springs on both lower sides abut against the notches, and more parts of the lower end of the top plate between the notches can act on the sleeve. Such a setting helps to set the spring higher and vacate the lower space for the sleeve storage bin.

[0035] The implementation principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0036] Since the pushing mechanism 8 in the present invention selects a cylinder, the following description uses the cylinder instead. When in use, there are two states. The first state is that the sleeve has been pushed out of the out-set port 3 by the out-set mechanism 4 and is within the clamping sleeve clip 5. At this time, the B-ultrasound probe is inserted into the placement cavity 7 and then clamped into the bracket 9. By pressing the set button, the cylinder is activated. The piston rod of the cylinder pushes the sleeve pushing rod 6 in the placement cavity 7 to drive the sleeve towards the B-ultrasound probe through the clamping sleeve clip 5. During the process of the sleeve, its curled edge becomes smaller and smaller. Finally, the curled edge disengages from the clamping sleeve clip 5. The piston rod of the cylinder retracts after completing the stroke, and the sleeve is fully sleeved on the B-ultrasound probe. Then, the B-ultrasound probe can be removed from the bracket 9.

[0037] The other state is that the sleeve is still in the sleeve storage bin 1. At this time, the B-ultrasound probe is inserted into the placement cavity 7 and then clamped into the bracket 9. The button is pressed, and the out-set mechanism 4 pushes the sleeve out of the out-set port 3 and into the clamping sleeve clip 5. Then, the cylinder is started, and the subsequent process is the same as the above-mentioned process.

[0038] As an improvement to this embodiment, continue to refer to Figure 3 , the sleeve A in the sleeve storage bin 1 is a curled bare sleeve and multiple sleeves are stacked. After being packaged in an aluminum cylinder bag C and the bag is opened, the continuous propulsion mechanism 2 can push the sleeve A to the clamping sleeve clip 5 below the out-set port 3.

[0039] In the present invention, the outer shape of the aluminum cylinder bag C can be a cuboid or a cylindrical shape. Easy-to-tear openings D are provided at both ends of the bag body. After the easy-to-tear openings D are torn open, a push block E is provided inside the tear end at one end for facilitating the continuous propulsion mechanism 2 to push. The continuous propulsion mechanism 2 directly abuts against the push block E to push a plurality of stacked sleeves A in the aluminum cylinder bag C towards the end where the sleeve outlet 3 in the sleeve storage bin 1 is located.

[0040] Further, as an improvement to the embodiment, refer to Figure 5 , the sleeve A is clamped by a fixed clip 55 composed of a separable left and right clip pieces 51, 52.

[0041] In the present invention, the fixed clip 55 is used for the sleeve A. Because if there is a need to apply a lubricant on the surface of the sleeve, it can keep a plurality of sleeves in a certain stacked order during packaging. In addition, the fixed clip 55 has a certain hardness, which can facilitate the sleeve outlet mechanism 4 to push it out of the sleeve outlet 3 to the lower clamping sleeve clip. However, it should be noted that the fixed clip 55 needs to be taken out of the placement cavity 7 after each use.

[0042] At this time, an outlet can be opened on the side wall of the placement cavity 7, and a spring piece is provided on the other side of the side wall. After the cylinder pushes the push sleeve rod 6 to make the sleeve A cover the B-ultrasound probe and the fixed clip 55 returns to its original position, the spring piece pops out the fixed clip 55 from the outlet. The spring piece can also be controlled by a relay at this time, or the end of the motor can be controlled to rotate to pop out the fixed clip 55. After popping out, the spring piece retracts, and then waits for the B-ultrasound probe to penetrate again. The power supply or mechanical structure for controlling the spring piece can be linked and controlled by the retraction of the cylinder.

[0043] Further, as an improvement to the embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , the continuous propulsion mechanism 2 is composed of a spring 21 and a push cover 22 placed at one end of the spring 21.

[0044] Further, as an improvement to the embodiment, the sleeve outlet mechanism is connected to the structure of the continuous propulsion mechanism. While the continuous propulsion mechanism pushes the sleeves in the sleeve storage bin, the sleeve outlet mechanism pushes the sleeves out of the sleeve outlet.

[0045] In addition, as an improvement to the embodiment, a disinfected coupling agent spray hole 10 is also provided on the chamber wall of the B-ultrasound probe placement cavity 7. The spraying of the disinfected coupling agent from the spray hole 10 can be controlled by a sensor. That is, during the penetration of the B-ultrasound probe, the B-ultrasound probe blocks the sensor, and the sensor controls the high-pressure electromagnetic pump to pressurize the chamber where the disinfected coupling agent is placed, forcing the disinfected coupling agent to spray out from the spray hole 10, and setting the spraying time, such as 1 second, 2 seconds or 3 seconds, to complete the spraying of the disinfected coupling agent at the end of the B-ultrasound probe when the B-ultrasound probe penetrates and is fixed on the bracket 9.

[0046] In addition, referring to Figure 6 , as an improvement to the embodiment, the jacket clip 5 can expand the sleeve A during the pushing process of the pushing sleeve rod 6. The structure of the jacket clip 5 is multi-segmented, that is, there are small springs 51 connected between each segment. The pushing sleeve rod 6 corresponds to one rod for each segment. A position-fixed blocking block 81 is provided in the middle of the pushing sleeve rod 6. When the air cylinder pushes the pushing sleeve rod 6 to advance, because the position of the blocking block 81 is fixed, each rod of the pushing sleeve rod 6 will force each segment of the jacket clip 5 to expand. The expansion of the circumference also causes the sleeve A to expand. In this embodiment, the groove of the jacket clip 5 that matches the curled edge of the sleeve is set to protrude downward, which is beneficial to prevent the sleeve A from bouncing back to the middle due to the elasticity of the curled edge during expansion, so as to slide out of the groove.

[0047] In addition, relatively speaking, if the size of the sleeve is not customized, the sleeve is generally relatively easy to fall off the B-ultrasound probe after use. For the present invention, there is no function to solve the problem of sleeve removal. In the later stage, a recovery device similar to the B-ultrasound probe sleeve automatic sleeve removal and recovery device disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN201602794U can be added to solve the problem of sleeve removal. However, for the B-ultrasound probe, there is still a space between the existing sleeve and the B-ultrasound probe after expansion, that is, after use, the B-ultrasound probe is relatively easy to break away from the sleeve. For example, it can be pulled out by clamping the end of the sleeve with tweezers.
