Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medical devices, and in particular relates to a peep film module and a video laryngoscope. Background Art

[0002] At present, when tracheal intubation is performed under general anesthesia or when tracheal intubation is performed in critically ill patients, a laryngoscope is needed to assist in inserting the trachea from the patient's mouth, thereby establishing an artificial airway to help the patient breathe. The success of tracheal intubation is directly related to the patient's life, so it cannot be missed. For this reason, a series of tracheal intubation tools have been developed clinically, such as ordinary laryngoscopes, rigid video laryngoscopes, soft video laryngoscopes, light sticks, etc. These tracheal intubation tools effectively assist clinicians in exposing the glottis to insert the tracheal tube into the trachea.

[0003] For example, the U.S. invention application No. US2013057667A1 discloses a typical rigid video laryngoscope, which is composed of a reusable electronic laryngoscope and a disposable transparent peep piece that matches it. So far, China, the United States and Europe have respectively disclosed a large number of video laryngoscope-related invention patents, and video laryngoscopes have also been widely used in clinical airway intubation. However, a large number of clinical application practices have also exposed many deficiencies in the prior art. The success rate of tracheal intubation, especially the intubation of difficult airways, is directly related to the opening scale, cervical fixation and glottis exposure. The peep piece of a traditional ordinary laryngoscope is made of metal, with precise size and high structural strength, which is conducive to accurately opening or operating laryngeal tissues, but the field of view of these traditional ordinary laryngoscopes is relatively limited, and the peep piece of a video laryngoscope is made of transparent plastic, which has insufficient size accuracy and strength, resulting in defects such as non-overlap between the operating area and the video display area, uneven lighting, and insufficient exposure during clinical application, affecting the efficiency and accuracy of intubation.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] (1) The peep piece of the present invention is provided with an arc-shaped tubular cavity and a special-shaped vertebral cavity. When in use, the arc-shaped tubular cavity is used for installing the arc-shaped rod body and the rod head of the subsequent metal rod, and the special-shaped vertebral cavity is used for installing the special-shaped rod vertebral body. When designing, the special-shaped vertebral rod body and the special-shaped vertebral cavity are transitionally matched or interference-matched, and the arc-shaped rod body and the arc-shaped tubular cavity are interference-matched, which is convenient for the overall insertion of the arc-shaped rod body and a certain limit of the special-shaped vertebral rod body. This design fully considers the overall strength of the peep piece and a certain support effect on the metal rod. Moreover, due to the interference fit between the arc-shaped rod body and the arc-shaped tubular cavity, the metal rod is very smooth when inserted into the peep piece and is slowly limited and positioned until the special-shaped vertebral rod body contacts the special-shaped vertebral cavity. The design is ingenious.

[0031] (2) The arc-shaped tube of the present invention is integrally formed with a tongue depressor to facilitate tongue depressing and tube insertion, and the arc-shaped tube and the tongue depressor are injection molded from polycarbonate material, which has greater strength. The peep piece is made by a core-pulling process during specific production, and the present invention clearly defines the position of the center of the circle when producing the first tube wall and the second tube wall, so that the precision is higher during specific production;

[0032] (3) The end of the first rod side wall and the end of the first rod wall at the rod head of the present invention form a first load-bearing shoulder, and the end of the second rod side wall and the end of the second rod wall at the rod head form a second load-bearing shoulder. The wall thickness of the first load-bearing shoulder and the second load-bearing shoulder is greater than or equal to three times the minimum wall thickness of the arc-shaped rod body. Compared with the prior art, the prior art adopts a method of making the wall thickness of the entire metal rod uniform in order to increase the strength. In this way, the volume of the entire metal rod is relatively large. In the present invention, the wall thickness is the thickest at the end of the metal rod that is inserted into the human body at the farthest end and bears the greatest strength, that is, the first load-bearing shoulder and the second load-bearing shoulder, and the wall thickness at other positions is relatively small. In this way, the size of the metal rod of the present invention and other components on the metal rod when inserted into the human body can be reduced to a sufficiently low level, so that it can be compatible with newborns, children, ordinary adults, obese adults, people with difficulty in walking, etc. to a certain extent, thereby minimizing the differences between different groups of people;

[0033] (4) The special-shaped vertebral rod body of the present invention has a transition fit or interference fit with the special-shaped vertebral cavity, the arc-shaped rod body has an interference fit with the arc-shaped tube cavity, a top gap is formed between the first rod wall and the first tube wall, a bottom gap is formed between the second rod wall and the second tube wall, a first side gap is formed between the first tube side wall and the first rod side wall, and a second side gap is formed between the second tube side wall and the second rod side wall. The sum of the top gap and the bottom gap is smaller than the sum of the first side gap and the second side gap. This design facilitates the installation of the peep blade before use and the removal of the peep blade after use, and ensures that the peep blade will not be displaced even if it is subjected to external force during use, thereby affecting the surgical field of view;

[0034] (5) The orientation foot of the present invention is inserted into the orientation device, the camera assembly is installed in the straight column cavity, and the correction groove is adapted to the correction ring and the correction ring is clamped on the correction groove, which is convenient for positioning in specific applications and prevents the camera assembly from being displaced by external force and affecting normal use;

[0035] (6) A V-shaped correction groove is provided on one side of the head end surface of the present invention near the rod head. The correction groove can not only cooperate with the correction ring for positioning, but also prevent the area near the LED light source on the head end seat from being emitted or refracted and entering the lens cavity, thereby avoiding affecting the field of view of the camera of the flexible PCBA, avoiding the phenomenon of halo or reflection, and further improving the imaging quality;

[0036] In summary, the present invention has the advantages of high strength, high precision, easy intubation, easy positioning of camera components, high imaging quality, and the ability to prevent halo or reflection. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0066] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0067] The components of the embodiments of the present invention generally described and shown in the drawings herein may be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present invention.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0070] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0071] All descriptions of the internal and external directions in this invention are based on Figure 1 The inside and outside are described in the description, that is, when the subsequent peep piece module is defined in the inside and outside directions, the metal rod and other components are inserted into the inside and outside of the peep piece definition.

[0072] Example 1

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention discloses a peep piece, including an arc-shaped tube and a tongue depressor 1, the arc-shaped tube and the tongue depressor 1 are integrally formed and the tongue depressor 1 is connected to the arc-shaped tube. It can be understood that the arc-shaped tube and the tongue depressor 1 are a whole and are integrally formed during production. The distal end of the arc-shaped tube is an arc tube head 2, and the proximal end of the arc-shaped tube is an arc tube tail 3. It can also be understood that the arc-shaped tube includes the arc tube head 2 located at the distal end, the arc tube tail 3 at the proximal end, and an arc tube body extending and connected between the arc tube head 2 and the arc tube tail 3. The distal end of the tongue depressor 1 is a tongue depressor 4, and the proximal end of the tongue depressor 1 is a tongue tail 5. The arc-shaped tube includes a first tube wall 6 located on the outside, a second tube wall 7 located on the inside, a first tube side wall 8 located on the front side and connected to the first tube wall 6 and the second tube wall 7, and a second tube side wall 9 located on the rear side and connected to the first tube wall 6 and the second tube wall 7, wherein the first tube wall 6, the second tube wall 7, the first tube side wall 8 and the second tube side wall 9 are connected to the first tube wall 6 and the second tube wall 7. The wall 9 encloses an arc-shaped tube cavity 10 (the arc-shaped tube cavity 10 here does not include the part on the arc tube head 2), and a special-shaped vertebral cavity 11 is provided on the arc tube head 2. It can be understood that the special-shaped vertebral cavity 11 can be a part of the arc-shaped tube cavity 10, but it is set as a special-shaped tube cavity for subsequent installation needs. The side of the arc-shaped tube cavity 10 close to the arc tube tail 3 is sealed, and the side of the arc-shaped tube cavity 10 close to the arc tube head 2 is communicated with the special-shaped vertebral cavity 11. The side of the special-shaped vertebral cavity 11 away from the arc tube tail 3 is open. The tongue depressor 1 is connected to the second tube wall 7, that is, the tongue depressor 1 is located on one side of the second tube wall 7 and connected to the arc-shaped tube fitting. There is also a process hole 14 for production between the tongue depressor 1 and the arc tube fitting. A spring buckle 13 is provided on the side of the arc tube tail 3. The setting of the spring buckle 13 is mainly convenient for the subsequent insertion of a metal rod. When the metal rod needs to be inserted, the spring piece can be pressed to play a certain prying role on the special-shaped vertebral cavity 11, so that the special-shaped vertebral cavity 11 can be pried to a certain extent.

[0074] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cross section of the arc-shaped lumen 10 is approximately D-shaped, and the size of the peripheral side wall of the special-shaped vertebral cavity 11 is larger than the size of the arc-shaped lumen 10. The size here can be understood as the diameter, that is, the diameter of the special-shaped vertebral cavity 11 is larger than the diameter of the arc-shaped lumen 10, and the size of the special-shaped vertebral cavity 11 changes gradually. The size of the special-shaped vertebral cavity 11 decreases from the arc tube tail 3 to the arc tube head 2 until it is equal to the size of the arc-shaped lumen 10. The setting of the special-shaped vertebral cavity 11 is mainly to perform a certain limiting effect;

[0075] In order to further perform positioning and ensure the stability of imaging when the peep piece of the present invention is subsequently used in specific imaging applications, a correction ring 12 is provided on the arc tube head 2 , and the correction ring 12 is arranged toward the arc tube cavity 10 .

[0076] Example 2

[0077] Please refer to Figure 3The peep piece of the present invention is integrally formed, so it is specifically produced by an injection molding machine. The arc-shaped tube and the tongue depressor 1 are injection-molded by polycarbonate material. The peep piece made of this material has high strength and is easy to control the accuracy during the injection molding process. The first tube wall 6 and the second tube wall 7 of the peep piece of the present invention are both arc-shaped. During specific production, the first tube wall 6 and the second tube wall 7 are processed by a core-pulling process. In the prior art, the manufacture of similar arc-shaped tubes is a core-pulling structure of an arc-shaped tube cavity 10 including a long arm, which is difficult to manufacture. In order to ensure dimensional accuracy, it is usually necessary to set the first tube wall 6 and the second tube wall 7 to be concentric circle core-pulling, and the size of these similar arc-shaped tubes needs to be made sufficient It is large enough to improve the core pulling strength. In the present invention, non-concentric circle core pulling is adopted in the production of the first tube wall 6 and the second tube wall 7, wherein the center of the first tube wall 6 when processed by the core pulling process is O1 and the diameter is D1, and the center of the second tube wall 7 when processed by the core pulling process is O2 and the diameter is D2, D1 is greater than D2, the coordinate difference between O1 and O2 is X and Y, that is, the horizontal coordinate difference is X, and the longitudinal coordinate difference is Y, the value of X is greater than or equal to 0.3mm and less than or equal to 3mm, and the value of Y is greater than or equal to 0.3mm and less than or equal to 3mm. In specific production, through virtual modeling and simulated injection molding analysis, as well as practical verification, this setting is conducive to achieving precision molding and reducing defects under the condition of smaller core pulling size.
