Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical devices, in particular to an orthopedic traction frame and an automatic medicine application method for the orthopedic traction frame. Background Art

[0002] In orthopedics, bedside traction frames are often used to traction the patient's lower limbs. Its main mechanism is to first penetrate the fracture site of the patient's affected limb and connect the steel nail to the traction frame, then hang the traction frame on the bedside, adjust the height of the pulley on the traction frame, and connect a hammer to the outside of the traction frame through a connecting rope. The hammer is hung on the pulley and the gravity of the hammer is used to complete the traction of the patient's affected limb to maintain the position of the fracture, try to reduce the patient's affected limb, and reduce the possibility of damage to blood vessels and nerves by the fracture end.

[0003] Since it is necessary to penetrate the patient's affected limb with a steel nail, a wound will be formed on the patient's affected limb, so it is necessary to disinfect the wound regularly to prevent the occurrence of infection. In the prior art, alcohol gauze is often used to carry out winding disinfection clinically, that is, gauze is wrapped around the outside of the steel nail so that the gauze is in contact with the patient's wound to prevent the occurrence of infection. However, the alcohol in the alcohol gauze is volatile and often evaporates completely within a few minutes after the dressing change, and the next dressing change needs to be after 2-3 days, which exposes the contact surface to the air and does not have a good bactericidal effect, easily causing the patient's wound to become infected. In addition, irregular and untimely dressing changes also increase the probability of infection in the patient, and bring great pain to the patient, which is not conducive to the patient's recovery.

[0004] Therefore, an orthopedic traction frame is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an orthopedic traction frame and an automatic medicine application method for the orthopedic traction frame, so as to realize the function of timely and automatic dressing change on the patient's wound, thereby relieving the pressure of dressing change on medical staff and reducing the chance of infection in patients.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an orthopedic traction frame, comprising a traction frame body, a timing device, a control component and a disinfection component;

[0007] One end of the traction frame is passed through the patient's affected limb via a steel nail, and the other end is connected to a hanging hammer via a connecting rope;

[0013] Furthermore, the timing device is provided with at least two timing cycles, and there is a time interval between the two timing cycles;

[0014] When the timing device is within the time interval, the disinfection solution soaks the gauze.

[0015] Furthermore, the disinfection assembly includes a disinfectant container and an end cap;

[0016] The disinfectant container is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the traction frame, and the upper surface thereof is clamped with the end cover.

[0017] Furthermore, the control assembly includes a switch valve and a timing connection driving device;

[0018] The switch valve is arranged at the end of the disinfectant container;

[0019] The timing connection pushing device is connected to the switch valve and is electrically connected to the timing device;

[0020] When the timing device reaches a set value, the timing connection pushing device pushes the switch valve to open, so that the disinfectant solution in the disinfectant container soaks the gauze.

[0021] Furthermore, the traction frame body is configured to be U-shaped, and both ends of the traction frame body are respectively connected to the steel nails;

[0022] The timing device, the control component and the disinfection component are each provided in two groups, and are respectively arranged on both sides of the traction frame body.

[0023] Furthermore, a drainage tube is provided on the outer wall of the traction frame;

[0024] One end of the drainage tube is located below the opening of the disinfection component, and the other end is in contact with the gauze;

[0025] The drainage tube is configured as a spiral structure.

[0026] In addition, the present invention also proposes a method for automatically applying medicine to an orthopedic traction frame, comprising the following steps:

[0027] Setting the timing device to have at least one timing period;

[0028] When the timing device reaches a preset value, the disinfection solution in the disinfection component soaks the gauze connected to the traction frame body.

[0029] Furthermore, the gauze is in contact with the wound of the patient.

[0030] Furthermore, the method of soaking the gauze with the disinfectant solution comprises the following steps:

[0031] A control component is provided between the timing device and the disinfection component;

[0032] When the timing device reaches a preset value, the control component is triggered to control the disinfection component to start, so that the disinfection solution infiltrates the gauze.

[0033] Furthermore, the control assembly includes a switch valve and a timing connection driving device;

[0034] When the timing device reaches a preset value, a command signal is sent to the timing connection driving device to push the switch valve to open, so that the disinfection solution can soak the gauze;

[0035] When the timing device does not reach the preset value or is in another timing cycle, a command signal is sent to the timing connection pushing device to pull the switch valve to close, so that the disinfection solution is in the disinfection component.

[0042] The following is a more detailed description of the orthopedic traction frame and the automatic medication dispensing method for the orthopedic traction frame of the present invention, with reference to schematic diagrams. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown, and it should be understood that those skilled in the art may modify the present invention described herein while still achieving the beneficial effects of the present invention. Therefore, the following description should be understood as generally known to those skilled in the art and is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0043] The present invention is described in more detail in the following paragraphs by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are greatly simplified and not to exact scale, and are provided solely for the purpose of assisting in the description of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an orthopedic traction frame, which includes a traction frame body 1, a timing device 2, a control component 3 and a disinfection component 4.

[0046] One end of the traction frame 1 passes through the patient's affected limb through a steel nail 11, and the other end is connected to a pendulum 12 through a connecting rope. That is, the connecting rope is positioned by sliding, and the gravity of the pendulum 12 is used to keep the traction frame 1 straight. Then, the steel nail 11 can be used to pull the patient's fracture position to maintain the position of the fracture, so as to reduce the patient's affected limb as much as possible and reduce the possibility of damage to blood vessels and nerves by the fracture end.

[0047] Both ends of the steel nail 11 are respectively wrapped with gauze 5 that abuts against the patient's penetration site to prevent the patient's penetration site from directly contacting the outside world, thereby preventing infection from occurring.

[0048] The timing device 2 is disposed on the outer wall of the disinfection assembly 4 and is connected to the control assembly 3. The control assembly 3 is disposed on the disinfection assembly 4 to control the opening or closing of the disinfection assembly 4. That is, the timing device 2 is used to drive the control assembly 3 to move, thereby facilitating subsequent coordination with the disinfection assembly 4.

[0049] The disinfection component 4 is arranged on the outer wall of the traction frame body 1 and contains a disinfection solution. When the timing device 2 reaches a preset value, the control component 3 is triggered to allow the disinfection solution in the disinfection component 4 to soak the gauze 5.

[0050] To sum up, in this embodiment, a predetermined time duration is set by the timing device 2 to periodically drive the control component 3 to move, thereby causing the disinfection component 4 to open or close periodically, so that the disinfection solution can soak the gauze 5 to ensure that the patient's affected part will not cause infection due to untimely disinfection or improper disinfection operation. Since the timing device 2 can set a predetermined time duration, the disinfection time can be changed according to the actual needs of the patient, such as setting it once every four hours, and the single disinfection component 4 opening time is two seconds, thereby further improving the effect of preventing patient infection. In addition, it can also effectively relieve the pressure of medical staff on changing dressings, thereby reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0051] Among them, in order to facilitate the timing device 2 to periodically control the disinfection component 4 to infiltrate the gauze 5, the timing device 2 is provided with at least two timing cycles, and there is a time interval between the two timing cycles, that is, the opening length of the disinfection component 4. When the timing device 2 is within the time interval, the disinfection solution infiltrates the gauze 5. When the timing device 2 is within the time interval, the disinfection solution infiltrates the gauze 5.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a specific disinfection assembly 4 is provided to facilitate the storage of disinfectant solution. The disinfection assembly 4 includes a disinfectant container 41 and an end cap 42. The disinfectant container 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the traction frame body 1, and the upper surface is engaged with the end cap 42. That is, the disinfectant container 41 and the end cap 42 form a sealed chamber to prevent the disinfectant solution from volatilizing.

[0053] In other embodiments, a control component 3 is also proposed to cooperate with the timing device 2 to complete the opening or closing of the disinfection component 4.

[0054] The control component 3 includes a switch valve 31 and a timing connection pusher 32; the switch valve 31 is arranged at the end of the disinfectant container 41; the timing connection pusher 32 is connected to the switch valve 31 and electrically connected to the timing device 2.

[0055] Specifically, when the timing device 2 reaches a set value, the timing connection pushing device 32 pushes the switch valve 31 to open, so that the disinfectant solution in the disinfectant container 41 soaks the gauze 5 .

[0056] It should be noted that the timing connection pushing device 32 described above is a common drug pump device in existing clinical medical technology. For details, please refer to the electric micro-injection pump in the existing technology. Its principle and structure will not be described in detail here.

[0057] In a further embodiment, the shape of the traction frame body 1 and the number of the timing device 2 , the control component 3 and the disinfection component 4 are further limited.

[0058] In order to facilitate the connection between the traction frame body 1 and the steel nails 11, the traction frame body 1 is configured to be U-shaped, and both ends of the traction frame body 1 are respectively connected to the steel nails 11.

[0059] Since the steel nail 11 is penetrated at both ends, two wounds will be formed at the patient's affected limb. Therefore, the timing device 2, the control component 3 and the disinfection component 4 need to be provided in two groups, and are respectively provided on both sides of the traction frame body 1.

[0060] Please continue reading Figure 2 , in order to facilitate the drainage of the disinfection solution in the disinfection component 4 to the gauze 5, so as to improve the infiltration effect of the gauze 5.

[0061] A drainage tube 6 is provided on the outer wall of the traction frame body 1; one end of the drainage tube 6 is located below the opening of the disinfection component 4, and the other end is in contact with the gauze 5; the drainage tube 6 is arranged to have a spiral structure. By setting the drainage tube 6 to have a spiral structure, when the traction frame body 1 is in an inclined state, the drainage tube 6 is correspondingly inclined, and the disinfection solution can still be drained to the gauze 5, effectively avoiding waste of the disinfection solution.

[0062] In addition, by making the outlet end of the drainage tube 6 abut against the gauze 5, it can not only fix the gauze 5, but also allow the disinfectant solution to be delivered to a designated position of the gauze 5, such as the patient's wound, to avoid the disinfectant solution being delivered to the edge of the gauze 5 and failing to achieve a better disinfection effect.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention further proposes a method for automatically applying medicine to an orthopedic traction frame based on the first embodiment, comprising the following steps:

[0065] The timing device 2 is set to have at least one timing cycle;

[0066] When the timing device 2 reaches a preset value, the disinfection solution in the disinfection component 4 soaks the gauze 5 connected to the traction frame body 1.

[0067] That is, the timing of the timing device 2 is used to control the opening of the disinfection solution in the disinfection component 4, and the disinfection solution is soaked into the gauze 5 to complete the function of automatically applying medicine to the patient's affected part. Compared with the existing technology, the gauze 5 is changed at a long interval, which increases the probability of infection of the patient's affected part. This application can effectively reduce the probability of infection of the patient, and also effectively reduce the pressure of medical staff on changing dressings, and will not cause discomfort to the patient due to failure to change dressings in time.

[0068] The gauze 5 contacts the wound of the patient.

[0069] like Figure 4 As shown, the method of soaking the gauze 5 with the disinfectant solution comprises the following steps:

[0070] A control component 3 is provided between the timing device 2 and the disinfection component 4;

[0071] When the timing device 2 reaches a preset value, the control component 3 is triggered to control the disinfection component 4 to start, so that the disinfection solution infiltrates the gauze 5.

[0072] That is, the control component 3 is used as a control end to receive the instruction issued by the timing device 2 when the preset value is reached, thereby realizing the autonomous opening and closing of the disinfection component 4.

[0073] Specifically, the control component 3 includes a switch valve 31 and a timing connection pushing device 32;

[0074] When the timing device 2 reaches a preset value, it sends a command signal to the timing connection pushing device 32, pushing the switch valve 31 to open, so that the disinfection solution can soak the gauze 5;

[0075] When the timing device 2 does not reach the preset value or is in another timing cycle, it sends a command signal to the timing connection pushing device 32 to pull the switch valve 31 to close, so that the disinfection solution is in the disinfection component 4.

[0076] In summary, the present application controls the operation of the timing connection driving device 32 through the timing device 2 to drive the opening or closing of the switch valve 31, thereby controlling the opening or closing of the disinfection component 4, so that the disinfection solution can autonomously infiltrate the gauze 5, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the patient's infection rate and reducing the pressure on medical staff to change dressings.

[0077] Obviously, those skilled in the art may make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is intended to include such changes and modifications.
