Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of minimally invasive surgical instruments and is a detachable sleeve assembly, in particular to an unlocking structure capable of being unlocked by one hand, a sleeve assembly and a puncture device. Background Art

[0002] A puncture device is often used in existing minimally invasive surgeries. The puncture device is usually composed of an obstruction device assembly, a sealing body component and a sleeve component. For example, a puncture device disclosed in US20060264992A1 includes an obstruction device assembly, a sealing body component and a sleeve component. In addition, CN200410092156.3 also discloses a puncture device of a similar type. When puncturing, the obstruction device of the prior art is inserted into the sleeve component (composed of the sealing body component and the sleeve component) and used as a whole. After the insertion into the abdomen of the human body is completed, the obstruction device is taken out, and then the surgical instrument is operated through the sleeve component. When necessary, the sealing body component needs to be released from the sleeve component. The method of releasing the sealing body component in the prior art is generally that the doctor holds the sleeve component with one hand and twists the sealing body component with the other hand, and then the sealing body component is unlocked, and then other surgical operations are performed. The release process is difficult to achieve the doctor's one-handed operation.

[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned trocar, Chinese patent CN209789968U proposes a lock ring structure that can be unlocked by pressing with one hand. The lock ring structure is applied to the trocar. During use, the doctor holds the sleeve component with one hand, and then presses the handle downward with the thumb to separate the sealing body component from the sleeve component, thereby completing the unlocking of the sleeve assembly. However, the prior art still has the following problems: 1. During the unlocking process of the sleeve assembly, only the thumb is in action, and the button assembly needs to be pressed down and the sealing body component needs to be rotated. This requires that the doctor using the sleeve assembly must have a large enough thumb pressure to unlock the sleeve assembly. Doctors with insufficient thumb pressure have difficulty completing the unlocking operation in actual operation; 2. The button assembly is relatively complex, which makes the cost during manufacturing and assembly high. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an unlocking structure that can be unlocked with one hand, by which the sealing body component and the sleeve component of the puncture device can be quickly unlocked with one hand through the user's thumb and other fingers squeezing and pressing force.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: an unlocking structure capable of unlocking with one hand, comprising:

[0006] A limiting column, a shifting platform and a positioning platform are arranged on a sealing seat of the sealing body component;

A limiting platform clamping groove and a limiting platform slideway are provided on the limiting platform, and the unlocking block is inclined on the button.

[0008] There is a gap between the limiting platform and the button and the unlocking block through a limiting post. The limiting post can enter the limiting platform clamping groove along the limiting platform slideway to form a locked state of the seal body component and the sleeve component, and can also be disengaged from the limiting platform clamping groove and return to the limiting platform slideway under the pushing of the unlocking block to form an unlocked state of the seal body component and the sleeve component.

[0009] The clamping platform cooperates with the clamping groove. When the seal body component and the sleeve component are in the locked state, the clamping platform enters the clamping groove clamping groove of the clamping groove; when the seal body component and the sleeve component are in the unlocked state, the clamping platform disengages from the clamping groove clamping groove of the clamping groove.

[0010] Further, there are 3 clamping platforms, which are respectively arranged on the inner side surface of the lower inner hole of the seal seat; there are 3 clamping grooves, which are respectively arranged on the outer side surface of the upper ring of the duckbill cover; the lower inner hole of the seal seat matches the upper ring of the duckbill cover, and each clamping platform has a corresponding clamping groove.

[0011] Further, a clamping groove clamping groove for clamping the limiting post is provided at the bottom of each clamping groove.

[0012] Further, the release button includes a limiting platform, a button, an unlocking block, an elastic beam, and a positioning sleeve. The limiting platform, the button, and the unlocking block are arranged in the middle of the elastic beam, and the two positioning sleeves are respectively arranged at both ends of the elastic beam; the limiting platform is a "human"-shaped convex platform, and its side surface has an adjacent limiting platform clamping groove and a limiting platform slideway.

[0013] Further, the limiting platform, the button, the unlocking block, the elastic beam, and the positioning sleeve of the release button are integrally made.

[0014] Further, the material of the release button is plastic.

[0015] Another object of the present invention is to provide a sleeve assembly that can be unlocked with one hand, which includes a seal body component and a sleeve component.

[0032] A relatively typical implementation process of the unlocking structure that can be unlocked with one hand in the present invention is described as follows:

[0033] 1. Locking of the cannula component and the seal body component: Align the three positioning platforms 223 of the seal seat 22 with the slideways 3211 of the three positioning slots 321 of the duckbill cover 32 and place the duckbill cover 32. At this time, the limit post 221 is in close contact with the limit platform slideway 3312; then rotate the seal seat 22 clockwise so that the positioning platform 223 snaps into the positioning slot card slot 3212; at the same time, the limit post 221 presses against the limit platform slideway 3312, causing the release button 33 to be deformed by force and move inward until the limit post 221 exceeds the highest point 3313 of the limit platform 331; at this time, the extrusion force on the release button 33 disappears and it rebounds to its original position, causing the limit post 221 to snap into the limit platform card slot 3311, and the locking of the cannula component 30 and the seal body component 20 is completed.

[0034] 2. Unlocking the sleeve component and the sealing body component: hold the sleeve assembly 30 with one hand, and press the button 332 of the release button 33 inward with the thumb to make the release button 33 move inward until the highest point 3313 of the limit platform exceeds the limit column 221, at which time the limit platform 331 is disengaged from the limit column 221; when pressing the button 332 of the release button 33, the unlocking slide 3331 of the unlocking block 333 will squeeze the limit column 221, so that the sealing seat 22 has a counterclockwise rotation movement, increasing the force of the limit column 221 to rotate over the highest point 3313 of the limit platform, thereby making the 221 limit column and the limit platform 331 disengage faster; then use the index finger to turn the toggle table 222 counterclockwise to make the sealing seat 22 rotate counterclockwise until the positioning table 223 is completely disengaged from the positioning groove 3212, at which time the sleeve component 30 and the sealing body component 20 are completely unlocked.

[0035] The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, and the above description is exemplary, not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be subject to the scope of protection of the claims.
