Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention specifically relates to a respiratory tract sputum removal device. Background Technology

[0002] When air enters or exits the respiratory tract, the humidification, warming, and filtration processes that occur during normal breathing disappear, leading to increased water loss in the respiratory tract, weakened defense function, and evaporation of moisture from secretions in the airway, which makes sputum thick and forms sputum crusts. Because sputum crusts obstruct the airway, they can easily cause breathing difficulties or even suffocation in patients, and in severe cases, endanger their lives. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the sputum crusts in the respiratory tract to ensure the patient's normal breathing.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent application number 202310197806.3 provides a flexible sputum remover for respiratory tracts. In use, a ring motor drives a rotating ring, which in turn drives a flexible brush rod. The brush rod scrapes away sputum from the respiratory tract at high speed, causing minimal damage. However, existing sputum removal devices are not convenient for comprehensively collecting the scraped sputum, which easily falls back into the respiratory tract, resulting in a decrease in the effectiveness of sputum removal. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a respiratory tract sputum crust removal device to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art, where existing sputum crust removal devices tend to cause sputum crusts to fall into the respiratory tract during scraping, resulting in a decrease in the sputum crust removal effect.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a respiratory tract sputum clearing device, comprising:

[0006] Installation tube, wherein a vent pipe is provided inside the installation tube;

[0007] The mounting shell is fitted onto one end of the vent pipe and is fixedly connected to the vent pipe. The mounting shell has multiple sets of mounting grooves.

[0008] The mounting rings are arranged in multiple sets at intervals, and each set can be raised and lowered within the mounting housing.

[0009] Multiple sets of scraper blades are provided and connected to the mounting ring via a transmission assembly. The scraper blades are disposed within and hinged to the mounting groove. Multiple sets of scraper blades on each adjacent pair of mounting rings are longitudinally staggered. During the lifting and lowering of the mounting ring, the transmission assembly drives the scraper blades to rotate and open / close.

[0010] A drive assembly is disposed within the mounting tube to drive the lifting and lowering of multiple sets of mounting rings.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the transmission assembly includes:

[0012] A drive column is disposed on the mounting ring;

[0013] A connecting plate is disposed on the scraper, and the connecting plate has a through groove for the sputum crust to flow through; and

[0014] A sliding frame is provided on the connecting plate, and the drive column is slidably engaged within the sliding frame.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting groove is provided with a storage groove, and the scraper moves into the storage groove when it rotates and retracts along its hinge point with the mounting groove.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the driving component includes:

[0017] The first drive rod is slidably inserted into the mounting tube along its axis, and one end extends into the mounting shell and is fixedly connected to multiple sets of mounting rings.

[0018] An operating handle is provided on the mounting tube; and

[0019] A control ring is located at the other end of the first drive rod.

[0020] In a preferred embodiment, a collection groove is provided at the bottom of the mounting shell, and a detachable collection shell is also provided at the bottom of the mounting shell, the collection shell being in communication with the collection groove.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the scraper blade has a guide groove at its bottom, and the guide groove is disposed within the mounting housing.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting tube is provided with a shielding cover, and a mounting frame is fixedly provided between the shielding cover and the mounting shell. The mounting frame is provided with a cleaning mechanism for cleaning phlegm crusts.

[0023] In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning mechanism includes:

[0024] The cleaning brushes are provided in multiple sets, all of which are housed within the mounting bracket;

[0025] A slider is disposed on the cleaning brush, and the mounting bracket has multiple sets of sliding grooves, in which the slider is slidably engaged.

[0026] An opening and closing assembly is disposed on the mounting frame and connected to multiple sets of sliders to drive the multiple sets of sliders to slide along the slide groove, thereby causing the ends of multiple sets of cleaning brushes to extend out of the mounting frame.

[0027] In a preferred embodiment, the opening and closing component includes:

[0028] Multiple sets of connecting posts are provided, all of which are located on the slider and protrude from the mounting bracket;

[0029] A drive disc, rotatably mounted on the mounting bracket along its axis, has multiple sets of inclined slots, and multiple sets of connecting posts are slidably engaged within the multiple sets of inclined slots; and

[0030] A control component is disposed inside the mounting tube and connected to the drive disk to drive the drive disk to rotate.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the control component includes:

[0032] The second drive rod is rotatably inserted into the mounting tube along its axis, and a gear is provided at one end of the second drive rod that extends into the mounting housing;

[0033] A gear ring, disposed on the drive disc and meshing with the gear; and

[0034] A knob is located at the other end of the second drive lever.

[0035] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0036] 1. In its initial state, the device has multiple sets of scrapers retracted. Holding one end of the mounting tube and inserting the mounting shell end into the patient's airway, the patient can breathe through the ventilation tube. The drive component controls multiple sets of mounting rings to rise within the mounting shell. During the ascent, the mounting rings drive multiple sets of scrapers to rotate and open simultaneously along their hinge points with the mounting groove via the transmission component. The upward movement of the mounting tube then drives the scrapers to rise and clean the sputum crusts. The cleaned sputum crusts fall into the mounting shell. Furthermore, because the scrapers on each pair of adjacent mounting rings are arranged longitudinally in a staggered manner, the sputum crusts can fall from the edge of the upper scraper to the inside of the lower scraper, effectively preventing sputum crusts from falling into the airway during the cleaning process and improving the sputum crust cleaning effect.

[0037] 2. During use, the device can also rotate the second drive rod by turning the knob. The second drive rod rotates the gear, which in turn rotates the drive disc along its axis through the engagement of the gear and the gear ring. During the rotation of the drive disc, the engagement of the inclined groove and the connecting column drives multiple sets of sliders to slide along the groove, so that the ends of multiple sets of cleaning brushes extend out of the mounting frame. Then, rotating the mounting tube drives the multiple sets of cleaning brushes to clean the respiratory tract, loosening the stubborn phlegm crusts. The scraper blade then scrapes off the phlegm crusts, making the cleaning of phlegm crusts more thorough. Attached Figure Description

[0053] The embodiments of the technical solution of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and are therefore intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0054] Example:

[0055] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a respiratory tract sputum removal device, including an installation tube 101, a ventilation tube 103 disposed within the installation tube 101, and a fixedly connected installation shell 105 fitted onto one end of the ventilation tube 103. Multiple sets of lifting installation rings 203 are disposed within the installation shell 105, and the multiple sets of installation rings 203 are arranged at intervals. A drive assembly for driving the lifting and lowering of the multiple sets of installation rings 203 is disposed within the installation tube 101. The drive assembly includes a first drive rod 201 slidably passing through the installation tube 101 along its axis. One end of the first drive rod 201 extends into the installation shell 105 and is fixedly connected to the multiple sets of installation rings 203. An operating handle 102 is disposed on the installation tube 101, and a control ring 202 is disposed at the other end of the first drive rod 201.

[0056] When in use, the end with the mounting shell 105 can be inserted into the patient's airway by holding the operating handle 102. The patient can breathe through the ventilation tube 103, avoiding interference with the patient's breathing and improving the safety of the device. The first drive rod 201 can be slid along its axis inside the mounting tube 101 by pulling the control ring 202.

[0057] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting shell 105 has multiple mounting slots 106, and a hinged scraper 301 is disposed in each mounting slot 106. A receiving slot 107 is also provided on the mounting slot 106. When the scraper 301 rotates and retracts along its hinge point with the mounting slot 106, it moves into the receiving slot 107. In the initial state, the scraper 301 is completely retracted into the receiving slot 107, thus facilitating the placement of the mounting shell 105 into the patient's airway. After the mounting shell 105 is placed in, the scraper 301 can be opened, and then the scraper 301 can be used to scrape away sputum crusts in the patient's airway.

[0058] like Figure 4 , 5As shown, in this embodiment, the scraper 301 and the mounting ring 203 are connected by a transmission assembly. Multiple sets of scrapers 301 on each pair of adjacent mounting rings 203 are arranged longitudinally in an alternating manner. During the lifting and lowering process of the mounting ring 203, the scraper 301 is driven to rotate and open and close by the transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a drive column 204 disposed on the mounting ring 203, a connecting plate 303 disposed on the scraper 301, a through groove 304 for sputum crusts to flow through the connecting plate 303, and a sliding frame 305 disposed on the connecting plate 303. The drive column 204 is slidably locked in the sliding frame 305.

[0059] During the lifting and lowering process, the mounting ring 203 drives multiple sets of drive columns 204 to rise. As the drive columns 204 rise, they cooperate with the sliding frame 305 to rotate and open the scraper 301 along its hinge point with the mounting groove 106, thereby simultaneously unfolding multiple sets of scraper blades 301 to facilitate the removal of sputum crusts from the patient's airway. The removed sputum crusts flow into the mounting housing 105 through the through groove 304. Because the multiple sets of scraper blades 301 on each adjacent pair of mounting rings 203 are longitudinally staggered, the lower scraper blade 301 can catch sputum crusts falling from the upper scraper blade 301, effectively preventing sputum crusts from falling into the airway. A collection groove 108 is provided at the bottom of the mounting housing 105, and a detachable collection housing 109 is also provided at the bottom of the mounting housing 105. The collection housing 109 communicates with the collection groove 108, and a guide groove 302 is provided at the bottom of the scraper blade 301, which is located within the mounting housing 105. The sputum crusts are guided into the collection shell 109 through the guide groove 302. The collection shell 109 collects the scraped sputum crusts. The collection shell 109 can be disassembled to clean the scraped sputum crusts. The sputum crusts attached to the inside of the device can be cleaned with a high-pressure water gun. After the inside of the device is disinfected, it can be reused.

[0060] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 6 and 7, in this embodiment, a cover 104 is provided on the mounting tube 101, and a mounting frame 401 is fixedly provided between the cover 104 and the mounting shell 105. A cleaning mechanism for cleaning phlegm crusts is provided inside the mounting frame 401. The cleaning mechanism includes multiple sets of cleaning brushes 403 disposed in the mounting frame 401, and sliders 404 are provided on the cleaning brushes 403. Multiple sets of sliding grooves 402 are provided on the mounting frame 401, and the sliders 404 are slidably engaged in the sliding grooves 402. An opening and closing component is provided on the mounting frame 401 and connected to the multiple sets of sliders 404. The opening and closing component drives the multiple sets of sliders 404 to slide along the sliding grooves 402, causing the ends of the multiple sets of cleaning brushes 403 to extend out of the mounting frame 401.

[0061] The opening and closing assembly includes a connecting post 405 disposed on the slider 404, the connecting post 405 protruding from the mounting bracket 401. A drive disk 501 is rotatably disposed on the mounting bracket 401 along its axis. The drive disk 501 has multiple sets of inclined slots 502, and the multiple sets of connecting posts 405 are respectively slidably engaged in the multiple sets of inclined slots 502. A control assembly connected to the drive disk 501 is disposed in the mounting tube 101. The control assembly includes a second drive rod 601 rotatably disposed along its axis and passing through the mounting tube 101. A gear 602 is disposed at one end of the second drive rod 601 that extends into the mounting shell 105. A gear ring 503 is disposed on the drive disk 501, the gear ring 503 meshing with the gear 602. A knob 603 is disposed at the other end of the second drive rod 601.

[0062] During use, the device can also rotate the second drive rod 601 by turning the knob 603. The second drive rod 601 rotates the gear 602, which in turn rotates the drive disc 501 along its axis through the engagement of the gear 602 and the gear ring 503. During the rotation of the drive disc 501, the engagement of the inclined groove 502 and the connecting column 405 drives multiple sets of sliders 404 to slide along the groove 402, so that the ends of multiple sets of cleaning brushes 403 extend out of the mounting frame 401. Then, rotating the mounting tube 101 drives the multiple sets of cleaning brushes 403 to move and clean the respiratory tract, loosening the stubborn phlegm crusts. The scraper 301 then scrapes off the phlegm crusts, making the cleaning of phlegm crusts more thorough.

[0063] Specific usage and beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0064] In its initial state, the device has multiple sets of scraping blades 301 retracted. By holding the operating handle 102 and inserting the end of the mounting shell 105 into the patient's airway, the patient can breathe through the ventilation tube 103. By pulling the control ring 202, the first drive rod 201 slides along its axis to control the multiple sets of mounting rings 203 to rise within the mounting shell 105. During the rising process, the mounting rings 203, through the cooperation of the drive column 204 and the sliding frame 305, drive the multiple sets of scraping blades 301 to rotate and open simultaneously along their hinge point with the mounting groove 106. The upward movement of the mounting tube 101 can then drive the scraping blades 301 to rise and clean the sputum crusts. The cleaned sputum crusts fall into the mounting shell 105. Since the scraping blades 301 on each pair of adjacent mounting rings 203 are arranged longitudinally and staggered, the sputum crusts can fall from the edge of the upper scraping blade 301 to the inside of the lower scraping blade 301, thereby effectively preventing the sputum crusts from falling into the airway during the cleaning process and improving the sputum crust cleaning effect.

[0065] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles and main features of the present invention and its advantages. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments.
