[0070] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0071] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", etc. indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and thus cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the described features. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0072] Some embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0073] The control switch of the present application belongs to the field of medical equipment manufacturing technology and is used in medical equipment. The medical equipment may include anesthesia machines, analyzers, and ultrasonic equipment, but is not limited to the above-listed ones. In the following embodiments, the control switch is mainly explained by taking the installation in the ventilation system of the anesthesia machine as an example. For other medical equipment, this embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0074] When a patient undergoes a major operation, he or she needs to be anesthetized. Usually, during the entire anesthesia process, the anesthesiologist needs to switch the anesthesia machine between manual ventilation and machine-controlled ventilation in different situations, and ensure the safety and reliability of the switching.

[0075] Among them, the control switch is an important switch in the ventilation system of the anesthesia machine, which can realize the conversion between the manual branch and the machine-controlled branch. In general, the control switch is usually a two-position three-way valve structure with pure mechanical operation. The gas conversion between the manual branch and the machine-controlled branch is realized by a valve stem driving the reciprocating motion of the piston in the cavity. The valve stem realizes reciprocating motion with the help of the eccentric motion of the handle at the upper end of the valve stem, and the handle rotates and moves up and down during the toggling process. Therefore, the handle and the shell that match it are prone to produce large pores, and dust or foreign matter can easily enter the interior, affecting the normal operation of the anesthesia machine. At the same time, the control switch requires manual operation during the switching process, and the self-checking function cannot be realized, and the safety and reliability of the switching cannot be guaranteed.

[0076] like Figures 1 to 18 As shown, according to the first aspect of the present application, the present application provides a control switch 100, including a switch knob 10, a base 20, and a detector 30 mounted on the base 20, wherein the switch knob 10 is rotatably mounted on the base 20. In this embodiment, the switch knob 10 has a handle 12 and a rotating portion 11, and the rotating portion 11 has a first limit portion 111a and a second limit portion 111b, wherein the first limit portion 111a and the second limit portion 111b respectively correspond to two extreme positions of the handle 12 relative to the base 20, when the rotating portion 11 rotates to the first limit portion 111a or the second limit portion 111b, the detector 30 generates a detection signal, and the control switch 100 outputs the detection signal, that is, the relative position of the handle 12 and the base 20.

[0077] After adopting the above technical scheme, since the switch knob 10 can be rotatably installed on the base 20, that is, the rotating part 11 only rotates during the turning process of the handle 12, the matching surface of the rotating part 11 and the base 20 can be designed to be a spherical structure, so as to avoid dust or foreign matter from entering through the gap between the switch knob 10 and the base 20 during the turning process of the handle, causing foreign matter to be stuck, etc., and the traditional manual turning handle operation method can be retained, which will not change the operator's operating habits and conform to the operating interface of the medical device; in addition, the control switch 100 outputs a signal through the detector 30, which can accurately judge the relative position of the handle 12 and the base 20, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the control switch 100.

[0078] In addition, the detector 30 can also be installed on the rotating part 11. When the handle 12 drives the rotating part 11 to rotate relative to the base 20, the rotating part 11 drives the detector 30 to rotate relative to the base 20. When the handle 12 is at the two extreme positions of the base 20, the detector 30 cooperates with the base 20 to generate a detection signal, and the control switch 100 outputs the detection signal. This application is not limited to this. In the following embodiments, the detector 30 is mainly explained by taking the installation on the base 20 as an example. As for the detector 30 being installed on the rotating part 11, this embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0079] In an optional embodiment, the control switch 100 is signal-connected to a valve assembly 101 in the ventilation system of an anesthesia machine, the valve assembly 101 includes a control valve 1012 and a driver 1011, and the detector 30 is signal-connected to the driver 1011 for controlling the control valve 1012 to drive the gas circuit switching in the ventilation system of the anesthesia machine.

[0080] Specifically, the control valve 1012 is a manual two-position three-way valve, which is mainly installed in the ventilation system of the anesthesia machine and is used for switching the gas circuit inside the anesthesia machine. The driver 1011 is located on one side of the control valve 1012 and is used to control the control valve 1012 to switch the gas circuit.

[0081] When the handle 12 rotates from one extreme position of the base 20 to another extreme position, the rotating part 11 rotates from the first limit part 111a to the second limit part 111b, or the rotating part 11 rotates from the second limit part 111b to the first limit part 111a, the detector 30 generates a corresponding detection signal, and the control switch 100 outputs the detection signal so as to control the control valve 1012 to switch the gas circuit in the ventilation system of the anesthesia machine through the driver 1011.

[0082] It should be noted that since the control valve 1012 is used in the ventilation system of the anesthesia machine, it not only needs to meet a certain gas flow rate and be able to provide an appropriate amount of mixed anesthetic gas during the patient's surgery, but also needs to supply a certain proportion of oxygen to ensure the patient's normal breathing; and it needs to be removed from the ventilation system of the anesthesia machine for high-temperature disinfection. The present application connects the detector 30 and the driver 1011 signal to control the opening and closing of the control valve 1012, which can effectively solve the problem that the detector 30, the driver 1011 and the control valve 1012 are integrated together, resulting in the control valve 1012 being unable to be sterilized separately at high temperature.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, the ventilation system of the anesthesia machine includes a machine-controlled branch 200, a manual branch 300 and a breathing circuit 400, wherein the control valve 1012 is respectively connected to the machine-controlled branch 200, the manual branch 300 and the breathing circuit 400, and is used to control the connection of the breathing circuit 400 with the machine-controlled branch 200 or the manual branch 300, so that the ventilation mode for the patient can be selected according to demand, that is, the machine-controlled ventilation mode in which the machine-controlled branch 200 is connected to the breathing circuit 400 and the manual ventilation mode in which the manual branch 300 is connected to the breathing circuit 400. In the machine-controlled ventilation mode, the anesthetic mixed gas is automatically provided to the patient according to the pre-set steps of the anesthetic ventilator through the program control of the anesthetic ventilator; in the manual ventilation mode, the operator squeezes the leather bag by hand to allow the anesthetic mixed gas to enter the patient's lungs.

[0084] After adopting the above technical solution, since the valve assembly 101 is connected to the machine-controlled branch 200, the manual branch 300 and the breathing circuit 400, it can not only realize the automatic switching of the manual branch and the machine-controlled branch in the ventilation system of the anesthesia machine, but also ensure the safety and reliability of the switching of the manual branch and the machine-controlled branch, and avoid the handle not being turned into place, affecting the working performance of the anesthesia machine, and the operation is simple and efficient. In addition, the control switch 100 in the present application still retains the traditional manual operation mode of turning the handle, which will not change the operator's operating habits and conforms to the operation interface of the medical device.

[0085] In an optional embodiment, if Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the detector 30 includes a detection unit 31 and a trigger member 32, wherein the trigger member 32 is installed on the base 20, and the trigger member 32 is connected to the switch knob 10 in a transmission connection. When the trigger member 32 is connected to the first limit portion 111a or the second limit portion 111b of the switch knob 10, the trigger member 32 triggers the detection unit 31 to generate a detection signal and output the detection signal, and the driver 1011 drives the control valve 1012 to control the machine-controlled branch 200 to be connected to the breathing circuit 400 or the manual branch 300 to be connected to the breathing circuit 400 according to the output result of the detection signal.

[0086] Specifically, the detection unit 31 sends a detection signal to the CPU processor in the anesthesia machine ventilation system. The CPU processor generates corresponding operation instructions according to the detection signal. When the driver 1011 receives the operation instruction for the machine-controlled ventilation mode, the machine-controlled branch 200 is connected to the breathing circuit 400. When the driver 1011 receives the operation instruction for the manual ventilation mode, the manual branch 300 is connected to the breathing circuit 400, which greatly improves the safety and reliability of the valve assembly 101 in the anesthesia machine ventilation system, and avoids the accident that the two-way three-way valve is in the intermediate state due to the handle 12 not being toggled in place, thus affecting the working performance of the anesthesia machine or causing equipment failure and posing a threat to the patient. Of course, the detection unit 31 can also directly send a detection signal to the driver 1011, and the driver 1011 connects the breathing circuit to the machine-controlled branch or the manual branch according to the received detection signal.

[0087] In an optional embodiment, the detection unit 31 includes a first travel switch 311 and a second travel switch 312. Wherein, when the trigger 32 is connected to the first limit portion 111a of the switch knob 10, the trigger 32 is connected to the first travel switch 311, and the first travel switch 311 generates a first detection signal and outputs the first detection signal. When the trigger 32 is connected to the second limit portion 111b of the switch knob 10, the trigger is connected to the second travel switch 312, and the second travel switch 312 generates a second detection signal and outputs the second detection signal. The first detection signal and the second detection signal constitute the above detection signal. In this way, not only can the two extreme positions of the handle 12 relative to the base 20 be detected respectively, avoiding misjudgment of the detection unit 31 caused by only one travel switch 311, improving the safety and reliability of the control switch 100, but also rapid switching between manual and machine control can be realized, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0088] Specifically, when the handle 12 drives the rotating part 11 to rotate relative to the base 20, the rotating part 11 rotates from the first limiting part 111a to the second limiting part 111b, or the rotating part 11 rotates from the second limiting part 111b to the first limiting part 111a. The rotating part 11 drives the trigger 32 to move along the axial direction of the trigger 32. When the trigger 32 is connected to the first travel switch 311, the first travel switch 311 generates a first detection signal and outputs the first detection signal; when the trigger 32 is connected to the second travel switch 312, the second travel switch 312 generates a second detection signal and outputs the second detection signal. The CPU processor in the anesthesia machine ventilation system sends a detection signal, and the CPU processor generates a corresponding operation instruction according to the first detection signal or the second detection signal. When the driver 1011 receives the operation instruction of the machine-controlled ventilation mode, it connects the machine-controlled branch 200 to the breathing circuit 400; when the driver 1011 receives the operation instruction of the manual ventilation mode, it connects the manual branch 300 to the breathing circuit 400, which greatly improves the safety and reliability of the valve assembly 101 in the anesthesia machine ventilation system, and avoids the situation that the two-way three-way valve is in the middle state due to the handle 12 not being toggled in place, thus affecting the working performance of the anesthesia machine or causing equipment failures and threatening the patients.

[0089] In addition, the detection unit 31 may also include only one first travel switch 311 or second travel switch 312. For example, at one of the extreme positions of the handle 12 relative to the base 20, the first travel switch 311 or the second travel switch 312 generates a detection signal, and at the other extreme position of the handle 12 relative to the base 20, the first travel switch 311 or the second travel switch 312 does not generate a detection signal. Therefore, the driver 1011 can control the control valve 1012 according to whether the first travel switch 311 or the second travel switch 312 generates a detection signal, so as to be able to switch the gas path in the anesthesia machine ventilation system. In an alternative embodiment, as Figures 1 to 18As shown, the base 20 includes a base body 21 and a fixing plate 22. Among them, a rotating groove 211, a movable hole, and rotating shafts 23 connected to both sides of the rotating groove 211 are provided on the base body 21. The movable hole is arranged on one side of the rotating shaft 23 away from the opening of the rotating groove 211. The rotating part 11 is rotatably installed in the rotating groove 211 through the rotating shafts 23. One end of the triggering part 32 passes through the movable hole and is in transmission connection with the rotating part 11. In this embodiment, a base body notch 215 is provided at the bottom end of the base body 21, the fixing plate 22 is installed on the base body notch 215, the other end of the triggering part 32 passes through the fixing plate 22, and the first travel switch 311 and / or the second travel switch 312 are both installed on the fixing plate 22 and are located on one side or both sides of the triggering part 32, which can not only prevent the operator from accidentally touching the first travel switch 311 and / or the second travel switch 312, but also make the overall structure of the control switch 100 more compact and facilitate the assembly of the control switch 100.

[0090] In an alternative embodiment, the base 20 further includes a limiting member. The limiting member is installed on the rotating shaft 23 and is used to limit the rotating part 11 at the position of the first limiting part 111a or the position of the second limiting part 111b after cooperating with the rotating part 11, so as to prevent the operator from accidentally touching the handle 12 and causing the rotating part 11 to rotate relative to the base 20, thereby causing the CPU processor to misjudge the detection signal sent by the first travel switch 311 or the second travel switch 312.

[0091] Specifically, the limiting member includes a limiting shaft sleeve 24 and a first elastic member 25. The limiting shaft sleeve 24 is provided with a limiting portion and a guiding portion. Among them, the limiting shaft sleeve 24 moves axially along the rotating shaft 23 through the guiding portion, and the limiting portion is used to cooperate with the rotating portion 11 so that the rotating portion 11 can be located on the first limiting portion 111a or the second limiting portion 111b. In this embodiment, one end of the first elastic member 25 abuts against the end of the limiting shaft sleeve 24 away from the rotating portion 11, and the other end of the first elastic member 25 abuts against the seat body 21, so that the limiting shaft sleeve 24 always abuts against the rotating portion 11. That is, when the handle 12 drives the rotating portion 11 to rotate, the rotating portion 11 pushes the limiting portion on the limiting shaft sleeve 24, so that the limiting shaft sleeve 24 moves axially along the guiding portion of the rotating shaft 23. When the handle 12 is in two extreme positions relative to the base 20, under the elastic force of the first elastic member 25, the limiting portion of the limiting shaft sleeve 24 is clamped in the recess of the rotating portion 11 to limit the relative rotation of the handle 12 and the base 20 without external force. In an alternative embodiment, the limiting portion is at least one tooth portion 241 provided on the limiting shaft sleeve 24, and at least two tooth grooves 113 matching the tooth portion 241 are provided on the rotating portion 11. The two tooth grooves 113 are spaced apart on the rotating portion 11, so that when the handle 12 rotates to one of the extreme positions, the tooth portion 241 can be connected to at least one tooth groove 113 to prevent the handle 12 from rotating relative to the base 20 without external force.

[0092] In this embodiment, the number of the tooth portions 241 is two, and the two tooth portions 241 are symmetrically arranged on the limiting shaft sleeve 24. The number of the tooth grooves 113 is four. When the handle 12 rotates to one of the extreme positions, the two tooth portions 241 can be connected to two of the tooth grooves 113.

[0093] Specifically, every two tooth grooves 113 form a group of limiting portions. One group of limiting portions corresponds to the first limiting portion 111a, and the other group of limiting portions corresponds to the second limiting portion 111b. That is, after the rotating portion 11 rotates relative to the limiting shaft sleeve 24, when the triggering member 32 is connected to the first limiting portion 111a, the tooth portion 241 is clamped on one group of limiting portions; when the triggering member 32 is connected to the second limiting portion 111b, the tooth portion 241 is clamped on the other group of limiting portions, so that the handle 12 can be restricted to two extreme positions relative to the base 20, avoiding the relative rotation of the handle 12 and the base 20 without external force. At the same time, when the handle 12 is in two relative extreme positions of the base 20, the triggering member 32 can trigger the first limiting portion 111a or the second limiting portion 111b to send a detection signal, so that the CPU processor can generate corresponding operation instructions according to the detection signal and control the driver 1011 to drive the control valve 1012 to perform the switching between manual control and machine control.

[0094] In an alternative embodiment, the guiding portion is a guiding groove 242 provided on the limiting bushing 24. Wherein, a rotating hole 213 is provided on the seat body 21, and a guiding post 214 is provided at the position of the rotating hole 213 where the limiting bushing 24 is installed. An axial hole 243 is provided on the limiting bushing 24. After the rotating shaft 23 passes through the axial hole 243, the limiting bushing 24 is installed in the rotating hole 213, and the guiding groove 242 can be cooperatively connected with the guiding post 214, so that the limiting bushing 24 can move along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 23 of the guiding portion. The structure is simple but practical.

[0095] In addition, the guiding portion can also be a guiding post provided on the limiting bushing 24, and a guiding groove matching the guiding post is provided on the rotating hole 213. When the limiting bushing 24 is installed in the rotating hole 213 through the rotating shaft 23, the guiding groove is cooperatively connected with the guiding post. The present application does not impose any restrictions.

[0096] In an alternative embodiment, the seat body 21 further includes a fixing portion 251. The seat body 21 is provided with a rotating shaft hole 212 on the side opposite to the rotating groove 211 and the rotating hole 213. In this embodiment, one end of the rotating shaft 23 is rotatably installed on the rotating shaft hole 212, and the other end of the rotating shaft 23 is fixed in the rotating hole 213 through the fixing portion 251. Wherein, one end of the first elastic member 25 abuts against the limiting bushing 24, and the other end of the first elastic member 25 abuts against the fixing portion 251.

[0097] Specifically, both ends of the rotating shaft 23 are restricted on the rotating shaft hole 212 and the fixing portion 251 respectively by snap rings 27. Wherein, a rotating shaft gasket 26 is further provided between the snap ring 27 and the rotating shaft hole 212 to restrict the rotating portion 11 in the rotating groove 211.

[0098] In an alternative embodiment, the fixing plate 22 has an L-shaped structure. Wherein, both the first travel switch 311 and the second travel switch 312 are installed on the horizontal end surface of the fixing plate 22, and the other end of the triggering member 32 can movably pass through the vertical end surface of the fixing plate 22.

[0099] Specifically, the horizontal end surface of the fixing plate 22 refers to the end surface of the fixing plate 22 that is substantially perpendicular to the plane where the rotating portion 11 is located, and the horizontal end surface of the fixing plate 22 refers to the end surface of the fixing plate 22 that is substantially parallel to the plane where the rotating portion 11 is located. After adopting the above technical solutions, it is not only convenient for the processing and manufacturing of the control switch 100, but also convenient for the assembly of the control switch 100.

[0100] In an alternative embodiment, the trigger 32 includes a drive shaft 321 and a drive block 322. The drive shaft 321 is in transmission connection with the rotating part 11. The drive block 322 is arranged on the drive shaft 321. When the rotating part 11 rotates to the position of the first limit part 111a, the drive block 322 is connected to the first travel switch 311. When the rotating part rotates to the position of the second limit part 111b, the drive block 322 is connected to the second travel switch 312.

[0101] Specifically, the drive block 322 includes a first drive block 3221, a second drive block 3222, and a third drive block 3223 having a drive shaft hole. The first drive block 3221 and the second drive block 3222 are connected to each other through the third drive block 3223 to form an H-shaped structure. The third drive block 3223 is movably mounted on the drive shaft 321 through the drive shaft hole. When the rotating part 11 drives the drive shaft 321 to move along the axial direction of the drive shaft 321, the drive shaft 321 drives the first drive block 3221 and the second drive block 3222 to move along the axial direction of the drive shaft 321, so that when the rotating part 11 rotates to the position of the second limit part 111b, the first drive block 3221 can be connected to the second travel switch 312, and when the rotating part 11 rotates to the position of the first limit part 111a, the second drive block 3222 is connected to the first travel switch 311.

[0102] It should be noted that the drive block 322 can be integrally formed with the drive shaft 321, or the drive block 322 can be mounted on the drive shaft 321, which is not limited in this application.

[0103] In an alternative embodiment, the trigger 32 further includes a second elastic member 323. An axle platform 3212 is provided on the drive shaft 321. The axle platform 3212 divides the drive shaft 321 into a first-stage drive shaft 3211 and a second-stage drive shaft 3213. The first-stage drive shaft 3211 is in contact with the rotating part 11. The second elastic member 323 and the third drive block 3223 are both sleeved on the second-stage drive shaft 3213. One end of the second elastic member 323 abuts against one end of the third drive block 3223 facing away from the axle platform 3212, and the other end of the second elastic member 323 abuts against the vertical end face of the fixed plate 22.

[0104] When the handle 12 drives the rotating part 11 to rotate, since the drive shaft 321 is in transmission connection with the rotating part 11, the drive shaft 321 moves along the axial direction of the drive shaft 321 under the drive of the rotating part 11, and the drive block 322 moves along the axial direction of the drive shaft 321 under the push of the axle platform 3212, so that the drive block 322 can be connected to the first travel switch 311 or the second travel switch 312 to generate corresponding detection signals.

[0105] In an alternative embodiment, an outwardly convex arc-shaped protrusion 111 is provided on one end surface of the rotating part 11 facing the trigger 32. Among them, the arc-shaped protrusion 111 is arranged along the rotation direction of the rotating part 11, and the height of the arc-shaped protrusion 111 gradually decreases or increases from one end to the other end. In this embodiment, the first limiting part 111a and the second limiting part 111b are respectively arranged at both ends of the arc-shaped protrusion 111, and the stroke of the arc-shaped protrusion 111 corresponds to the rotation of the handle 12 from one side of the base 20 to the other side of the base 20, so that the first limiting part 111a and the second limiting part 111b can detect the two extreme positions of the handle 12 relative to the base 20 in real time.

[0106] In an alternative embodiment, an arc-shaped flap 112 is provided at the connection between the rotating part 11 and the handle 12. The arc-shaped flap 112 rotates around the base 20 with the connection position between the rotating part 11 and the base 20 as the fulcrum. When the control switch 100 is installed on the housing, the arc-shaped flap 112 can always maintain the pore size with the housing during the rotation process, preventing dust or foreign objects from entering the interior of the control switch 100 through the pores and causing malfunctions such as jamming of the control switch 100, thereby affecting the normal operation of the anesthesia machine; in addition, the arc-shaped flap 112 also has a waterproof effect. When liquid drops on the arc-shaped flap 112, the liquid can flow out from the rotating groove 211 along the arc-shaped flap 112, preventing the liquid from entering the rotating part 11 through the arc-shaped flap 112 and affecting the service life of other components of the control switch 100.

[0107] In an alternative embodiment, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 114 are provided on the arc-shaped flap 112. The reinforcing ribs 114 extend from the rotating part 11 to the arc-shaped flap 112, which can not only improve the strength of the rotating part 11, but also improve the strength of the arc-shaped flap 112, and also reduce the manufacturing cost of the rotating part 11.

[0108] In an alternative embodiment, the first travel switch 311 is installed on the seat body 21 through the first screw 3111, and the second travel switch 312 is installed on the seat body 21 through the second screw 3121. The fixing plate 22 covers the first travel switch 311 and the second travel switch 312, which can play a role in protecting the first travel switch 311 and the second travel switch 312.
