Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical devices, and more specifically to a component for rapid pressurization and depressurization, and a balloon catheter system and pressure pump thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Interventional therapy and surgery, as a relatively advanced and effective treatment method, are developing very rapidly. Under the guidance of imaging medicine, a tiny channel a few millimeters in diameter is opened in the skin or blood vessels, or through the body's existing channels, to insert a specially made catheter or instrument to the lesion site. For example, the catheter can reach the heart through blood vessels to perform diagnostic imaging, treatment, or tissue collection. It is an emerging treatment method between surgical and internal medicine treatments.

[0003] Interventional treatments and surgeries require the use of balloon dilation catheters, and the inflation and depressurization of balloon catheters require a pressure-depressurization system. Currently, the products used in clinical practice achieve pressure-depressurization and depressurization through threaded transmission. The depressurization process requires two-handed operation, which is complicated and inconvenient to use. In particular, large-volume balloon catheters require a long pressure-depressurization process, which can easily lead to prolonged vascular occlusion, tissue ischemia, functional impairment, and even endanger life.

[0004] Therefore, there is a severe lack in the art of a novel component, system, or device for rapid pressurization and depressurization to achieve rapid pressurization and depressurization and reduce vascular occlusion time. Summary of the Invention

[0136] Through extensive and in-depth research and screening, the inventors have developed for the first time a component for rapid pressurization and depressurization, along with its balloon catheter system and pressure pump. Compared to existing technologies, the component, balloon catheter system, and pressure pump of this invention utilize a dual-cylinder design to achieve different pressurization and depressurization chambers. The cross-sectional area of ​​the pressurization chamber is smaller than that of the depressurization chamber, allowing for convenient advancement and rapid retraction through a small-section channel, while simultaneously achieving a large suction force through a large-section channel. Furthermore, the retraction is achieved through an elastic element, resulting in effortless and rapid retraction. This invention is based on these principles.

[0137] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are schematic diagrams, and therefore the apparatus and device of the present invention are not limited to the size or scale of the schematic diagrams.

[0138] It should be noted that in the claims and specification of this patent, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one" does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0139] Example 1

[0140] The components for rapid pressurization and depressurization in this embodiment are as follows: Figure 1-3 As shown. This assembly for rapid pressurization and depressurization includes a push rod 1, an inner cylinder 2, an outer cylinder 3, an elastic element 4, and a stop element 5. The push rod 1 is a slender rod, and the inner cylinder 2 is fitted over the push rod 1, allowing the push rod 1 to slide within the inner cylinder 2. The distal end face of the inner cylinder 2 has a first hole 6 for fluid flow. The distal end of the push rod 1 has a sealing element, such as a rubber gasket, to create a tight connection between the push rod 1 and the inner cylinder 2, ensuring that fluid only enters and exits through the first hole 6 on the distal end face of the inner cylinder 2. A handle is provided at the proximal end for easy pushing and pulling of the push rod 1. A stop flange 13 is also provided at the proximal end of the inner cylinder 2. The outer cylinder 3 is fitted over the inner cylinder 2, allowing the inner cylinder 2 to slide within the outer cylinder 3. A second hole 7, corresponding to the first hole 6, is provided at the distal end face of the outer cylinder 3. A clamping handle is provided at the proximal end for easy gripping and securing of the assembly by the operator. The outer cylinder 3 includes a pressure-relieving section 8 and an actuating section 9. The pressure-relieving section 8 is a slidable section at the distal end of the inner cylinder 2, and the actuating section 9 is a section that causes the inner cylinder 2 to retract rapidly. A stop shoulder 10 is provided at the connection between the pressure-relieving section 8 and the actuating section 9. In this embodiment, there is one outer cylinder 3 and one inner cylinder 2, and they are coaxially arranged. It is understood that there can be multiple outer cylinders 3 and multiple inner cylinders 2, and the inner cylinders 2 and outer cylinders 3 can be arranged on different axes, etc. For example, there is one outer cylinder 3 and three inner cylinders 2, with the three inner cylinders 2 arranged within one outer cylinder 3.

[0141] The space enclosed between the seal of push rod 1 and inner cylinder 2 is called inner cavity 11, and the space enclosed between the far end of inner cylinder 2 and outer cylinder 3 is called outer cavity 12. Among them, inner cavity 11 is injection cavity, and outer cavity 12 is pressure relief cavity.

[0142] The elastic element 4 is disposed in the space between the actuating section 9 of the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3, wherein the distal end of the elastic element 4 abuts against the stop shoulder 10, and the proximal end of the elastic element 4 abuts against the stop flange 13.

The stop 5 includes a snap fastener 15, and the actuating section 9 of the outer cylinder 3 is provided with a notch that cooperates with the snap fastener 15. When the snap fastener 15 is engaged with the notch, the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3 are relatively fixed. When the snap fastener 15 is disengaged from the notch, the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3 are released from relative fixation, and the inner cylinder 2 is quickly retracted under the pushing action of the elastic member 4.

[0145] In this embodiment, the latching member 15 is a trigger structure. When the wrench is pulled down, the latching member 15 disengages from the notch on the outer cylinder 3. When the wrench is released, the latching member 15 engages with the notch on the outer cylinder 3 under the action of elastic elements such as springs.

The pressure pump includes components as described in Embodiment 1, a snap-fit ​​assembly, a pressure gauge 28, a conduit 29, and a three-way valve 30. The pressure gauge 28 is located at the far end of the outer cylinder 3 and is in fluid communication with the outer cylinder 3. The proximal end of the conduit 29 is fixedly connected to the farthest end face of the outer cylinder 3 and is in fluid communication with the inner cylinder 2. The other end of the conduit 29 is connected to the three-way valve 30.

[0152] The pressure pump for rapid pressurization and depressurization in this embodiment achieves rapid and labor-saving pressurization and depressurization through the component for rapid pressurization and depressurization as described in Embodiment 1. In use, initially, the volumes of both the inner cavity 11 and the outer cavity 12 are zero, as shown below. Figure 15 As shown; next is the liquid-filled state, push rod 1 is retracted, fluid is drawn into inner cylinder 2, and inner cavity 11 is filled, as shown. Figure 16 As shown; furthermore, in the pressurized state, push rod 1 moves forward, pressurizing the fluid in the inner cavity 11, as shown. Figure 17 As shown; finally, in the depressurization state, the control buckle 15 disengages from the recess of the outer cylinder 3, the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3 are no longer fixed, and under the action of the elastic element 4, the inner cylinder 2 retracts backward relative to the outer cylinder 3, and the push rod 1 in the inner cylinder 2 also retracts together, and the pressurized fluid is drawn into the outer cavity 12, as shown. Figure 18-19 As shown.

[0153] In this embodiment, the pressure pump for rapid pressurization and depressurization achieves motion control between the push rod 1 and the inner cylinder 2 through a snap-fit ​​assembly. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes a threaded section 20 on the push rod 1 and a snap-fit ​​part on the inner cylinder 2 that engages with the threaded section 20. The relative position of the push rod 1 and the inner cylinder 2 is controlled by the engagement of the threaded section 20 and the snap-fit ​​part: when the threaded section 20 and the snap-fit ​​part are disengaged, the push rod 1 slides freely in the inner cylinder 2; when the threaded section 20 and the snap-fit ​​part are engaged, the push rod 1 is fixed relative to the inner cylinder 2.

[0154] The latching part includes a reset member 21, a fitting member 22, and a pusher member 23. The reset member 21 and the fitting member 22 are fixedly connected. The fitting member 22 is used to engage with the threaded section 20. The pusher member 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the fitting member 22 opposite to the reset member 21. The reset member 21 is a spring.

[0155] A control key 24 is provided on the inner cylinder 2 to control the movement of the latching part. One end of the control key 24 is rotatably fixed to the inner cylinder 2, and the middle part of the control key 24, close to the inner cylinder 2, abuts against the latching part, providing upward support for the control key 24. In use, the operator presses the other end of the control key 24 away from the inner cylinder 2, providing downward pressure for the control key 24.

[0156] The inner cylinder 2 is also equipped with a curved baffle 25, which protects the control key 24 and prevents accidental operation. A track 26 is provided on the baffle 25, along which the outer end of the control key 24 slides. The track 26 is located on the side of the baffle 25 closest to the control key 24. The track 26 is a groove for accommodating the outer end of the control key 24, which slides along the groove. A buffer spring 27 is provided in the space enclosed by the track 26, the inner cylinder 2, and the control key 24 to buffer the downward pressure of the control key 24 and accelerate its rebound. One end of the buffer spring 27 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the control key 24, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner cylinder 2. The buffer spring 27 extends along the track 26.

[0157] Example 4

[0158] The pressure pump used for rapid pressure boosting and depressurization in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 20-27 As shown. This pressure pump is similar to that of Embodiment 3, except that the actuating section 9 of the outer cylinder 3 is stacked around the outer periphery of the inner cylinder 2 in this embodiment, so as to further shorten the axial distance of the pressure pump and make the operation more practical.

[0159] In this embodiment, the actuation section 9 of the outer cylinder 3 consists of two separate cavities independent of the pressure relief section 8. These two cavities are symmetrically arranged radially around the pressure relief section 8 and abut against it. A stop shoulder 10 is formed between the actuation section 9 and the pressure relief section 8. Preferably, a first control handle 31 is provided at the proximal end of the actuation section 9.

[0160] Correspondingly, the inner cylinder 2 is provided with two independent stop flanges 13. The proximal ends of the stop flanges 13 are connected as one piece by the second control handle 32, and their distal ends extend into the cavity. One stop flange 13 is placed in one cavity of the outer cylinder 3 and can slide within the cavity. Preferably, the distance between the outer wall of the stop flange 13 and the inner wall of the cavity is 0.5-2 mm.

[0161] The elastic element 4 is disposed in the cavity, with one end abutting against the stop shoulder 10 and the other end abutting against the stop flange 13 of the inner cylinder 2.

[0162] The stop includes a housing 33, a connector 34, and an elastic telescopic member 35. The housing 33 is fixed to the outer cylinder 3, and the connector 34 and the elastic telescopic member 35 are housed within the housing 33. The housing 33 is in communication with the outer cylinder 3. One end of the elastic telescopic member 35 abuts against the housing 33, and the other end of the elastic telescopic member 35 can pass through the actuating section 9 of the outer cylinder 3 and communicate with the stop flange 13 of the inner cylinder 2. A through hole is provided on the stop flange 13 of the inner cylinder 2, and the elastic telescopic member 35 is inserted into the inner cavity of the stop flange 13 of the inner cylinder 2 through the through hole. The elastic telescopic member 35 includes a spring. Optionally, a support column 36 is also provided, and the lower end of the spring abuts against the support column 36. The elastic telescopic member 35 of the stop is arranged perpendicularly to the elastic member 4. The connector 34 is connected to the support column 36 of the elastic telescopic member 35 as a whole, and the extension and retraction of the elastic telescopic member 35 can be controlled by the up and down movement of the connector 34. When the elastic telescopic member 35 is subjected to a small compressive force, that is, when the elastic telescopic member 35 extends into the inner cavity of the stop flange 13 of the inner cylinder 2, the inner cylinder 2 and the outer cylinder 3 are relatively fixed; when the elastic telescopic member 35 is subjected to a large compressive force, that is, when the connecting member 34 further compresses the elastic telescopic member 35 to retract it from the inner cavity of the stop flange 13 of the inner cylinder 2 into the outer shell 33, the inner cylinder 2 retracts rapidly relative to the outer cylinder 3 under the action of the elastic member 4.
