[0001] This application relates to the technical field of electrical connectors, and in particular to a connection cable for a portable health check medical instrument. Background Technology

[0002] Medical instrument connection cables are a critical component of modern medical equipment. They are widely used for electrical connections between various medical devices to ensure stable and reliable power and signal transmission. These connectors are essential in the medical industry because they not only affect equipment performance but also impact patient health and the quality of medical services.

[0003] The medical instrument connection cable in the related technology includes a plug and a socket that engage with each other. The plug includes a plug housing and a first terminal. The plug housing has a latch, and the first terminal is installed in the plug housing and fixedly connected to the plug cable. The socket includes a socket housing and a socket terminal. The socket housing has a first recessed groove and a locking slot for engaging with the latch. The socket terminal is located inside the first recessed groove and installed in the socket housing, and is fixedly connected to the socket cable. When the latch engages with the locking slot, the plug terminal is inserted into the first recessed groove and plugged into the socket terminal, so that the plug cable and the socket cable are electrically connected through the plug terminal and the socket terminal.

[0004] Medical instruments come into contact with a large number of patients, making it easy for bacteria to grow on the connecting cables. However, the inner walls of the first clearance groove and the inner walls of the bayonet in the related technology are not easy to disinfect, which affects the hygiene of the medical instrument use environment and has an adverse effect on the health of medical staff and patients. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To facilitate the disinfection of the internal structure of the connecting cable of a medical instrument, this application provides a connecting cable for a portable health check medical instrument.

[0006] This application provides a connection cable for a portable health check medical instrument, employing the following technical solution:

[0007] A portable health check medical instrument connection cable includes:

[0008] The socket housing has a first clearance groove, a first liquid guiding hole and a storage tank. One end of the first liquid guiding hole penetrates the socket housing and the other end penetrates the inner wall of the storage tank.

[0009] The plug housing has a second recessed groove for insertion into the socket housing, and the plug housing and the socket housing are detachably connected.

[0010] A conductive component includes a socket terminal and a plug terminal. The socket terminal is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first recessed groove, and the plug terminal is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second recessed groove. When the socket housing is connected to the plug housing, the socket terminal and the plug terminal are electrically connected.

[0011] The disinfection assembly includes a reservoir and a needle. The reservoir is placed inside the storage tank and contains disinfectant. The needle is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second relief groove along its length. The outer diameter of the needle is smaller than the inner diameter of the first liquid guiding hole. The needle is used to pass through the first liquid guiding hole and puncture the reservoir.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the liquid reservoir containing disinfectant is placed in the storage tank. During the process of inserting the socket shell into the second clearance slot, the pin is inserted into the first liquid guide hole and moves towards the liquid reservoir, causing the pin to puncture the liquid reservoir. Then, the disinfectant in the liquid reservoir flows into the storage tank and flows into the first clearance slot and the second clearance slot through the first liquid guide hole, so that the disinfectant disinfects the inner walls of the first clearance slot and the second clearance slot, thereby facilitating the disinfection of the internal structure of the connecting cable.

[0013] Optionally, the disinfection component includes a pressure block disposed inside the storage tank and detachably connected to the plug housing.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure block can seal the side of the storage tank away from the first liquid guide hole, thereby increasing the amount of disinfectant entering the first liquid guide hole and improving the efficiency of disinfectant use.

[0015] Optionally, the pressure block is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressure block can move towards the liquid storage bladder while sealing the storage tank. When the liquid storage bladder is punctured, the pressure block moves towards the first liquid guide hole and squeezes the liquid storage bladder, thereby squeezing out the disinfectant inside the liquid storage bladder and increasing the speed at which the disinfectant flows out of the liquid storage bladder, so as to improve the disinfection efficiency of the connecting cable.

[0017] Optionally, the socket housing is provided with a second liquid guiding hole, the length direction of the second liquid guiding hole is inclined to the length direction of the first relief groove, one end of the second liquid guiding hole penetrates the socket housing, and the other end penetrates the inner wall of the first liquid guiding hole.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, a portion of the disinfectant entering the first liquid guiding hole flows into the second relief groove and the interior of the first relief groove from the second liquid guiding hole, thereby making the disinfectant more evenly coated on the inner wall of the second relief groove and the inner wall of the first relief groove, thus improving the disinfection effect of the connecting cable.

[0019] Optionally, a locking component is included, the locking component comprising a slider, a plurality of first locking teeth and a plurality of second locking teeth, the slider being slidably connected to the plug housing, the plurality of second locking teeth being fixedly connected to the slider, and the plurality of first locking teeth being disposed on the socket housing along the length direction of the first clearance groove, wherein when the first locking teeth engage with the second locking teeth, the socket housing is connected to the plug housing.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the plug terminal and the socket terminal are electrically connected, the sliding slider causes the first locking tooth to engage with the second locking tooth, thereby locking the socket housing and the plug housing. When it is necessary to disassemble the socket housing and the plug housing, the sliding slider causes the first locking tooth and the second locking tooth to separate, thereby releasing the locking of the socket housing and the plug housing.

[0021] Optionally, the locking assembly includes an elastic element connected between the slider and the plug housing.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to connect the socket housing and the plug housing, the operator slides the slider to deform the elastic element and maintain the position of the slider. Then, the socket housing is inserted into the second clearance groove. After the first locking tooth moves with the socket housing to the designated position, the operator releases the slider, the elastic element returns to its original shape and drives the second locking tooth to move and engage with the first locking tooth, thereby locking the socket housing and the plug housing.

[0023] Optionally, a conductive ring is installed on the inner wall of the plug terminal, and the conductive ring is elastic.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when the plug terminal and the socket terminal are electrically connected, the conductive ring abuts against the socket terminal and undergoes elastic deformation to press the socket terminal, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the plug terminal and the socket terminal.

[0025] Optionally, the side wall of the socket terminal is provided with an abutment groove, the abutment groove is provided around the axis of the socket terminal, and the minimum diameter of the abutment groove is greater than the minimum inner diameter of the conductive ring.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the plug terminal and the socket terminal are electrically connected, the conductive ring fits against the inner wall of the abutment groove, thereby increasing the contact area between the socket terminal and the plug terminal, and thus improving the stability of the connection between the plug terminal and the socket terminal.

[0027] Optionally, the cross-section of the abutment groove is arc-shaped.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped cross-section of the contact groove can further increase the contact area between the socket terminal and the plug terminal, thereby further improving the stability of the connection between the plug terminal and the socket terminal.

[0029] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. Place the reservoir containing disinfectant into the storage tank. During the process of inserting the socket housing into the second clearance slot, insert the pin into the first liquid guide hole and move it towards the reservoir, so that the pin punctures the reservoir. Then, the disinfectant in the reservoir flows into the storage tank and flows into the first clearance slot and the second clearance slot through the first liquid guide hole, so that the disinfectant disinfects the inner walls of the first clearance slot and the second clearance slot, thereby facilitating the disinfection of the internal structure of the connecting cable.

[0031] 2. The pressure block can move towards the liquid storage bladder while sealing the storage tank. When the liquid storage bladder is punctured, the pressure block moves towards the first liquid guide hole and squeezes the liquid storage bladder, thereby squeezing out the disinfectant inside the liquid storage bladder and increasing the speed at which the disinfectant flows out of the liquid storage bladder, so as to improve the disinfection efficiency of the connecting cable.

[0032] 3. A portion of the disinfectant entering the first liquid guide hole flows into the second relief groove and the interior of the first relief groove from the second liquid guide hole, thereby making the disinfectant more evenly coated on the inner wall of the second relief groove and the inner wall of the first relief groove, thus improving the disinfection effect of the connecting cable.

[0033] 4. When the plug terminals and socket terminals are electrically connected, the conductive ring abuts against the socket terminals and undergoes elastic deformation to press the socket terminals together, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the plug terminals and socket terminals.

[0039] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0040] This application discloses a portable health check medical instrument connection cable, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The portable health check medical instrument connection cable includes a socket housing 1, a plug housing 3, a conductive component 6, and a locking component 5. The main body of the socket housing 1 is cylindrical, and a first clearance groove 2 is coaxially formed along its axis. A second clearance groove 4 is formed at one end of the plug housing 3. The conductive component 6 includes a socket terminal 61 and a plug terminal 62. The socket terminal 61 is cylindrical and coaxially fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first clearance groove 2. One end of the socket terminal 61 is located inside the first clearance groove 2, and the other end extends out of the first clearance groove 2 and is fixedly connected to the wire. An abutment groove 64 is formed around the axis of the socket terminal 61 on the outer wall. The abutment groove 64 is an annular groove with an arc surface cross-section. The plug terminal 62 is cylindrical and coaxially fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second recess groove 4. One end of the plug terminal 62 is located inside the second recess groove 4, and the other end is fixedly connected to the wire. A conductive ring 63 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the plug terminal 62 around its axis. The conductive ring 63 is elastic and narrows in the middle. The minimum inner diameter of the conductive ring 63 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the abutment groove 64. The locking component 5 is used to lock the socket housing 1 and the plug housing 3 when the socket terminal 61 and the plug terminal 62 are electrically connected.

[0041] In the embodiments of this application, the connection method between the socket terminal 61 and the wire is a conventional technical means in the art, and therefore will not be described in detail here.

[0042] When plug terminal 62 and socket terminal 61 need to be electrically connected, the socket housing 1 is inserted into the second recessed groove 4, and the socket terminal 61 is inserted into the socket terminal 61 and pressed against the inner wall of the socket terminal 61. At the same time, the inner wall of the abutment groove 64 expands the conductive ring 63, so that the conductive ring 63 presses against the inner wall of the abutment groove. Then the locking component 5 locks the socket housing 1 and the plug housing 3, thereby allowing the two wires to be electrically connected through the plug terminal 62 and the socket terminal 61.

[0043] The conductive ring 63 and the abutment groove 64 increase the contact area between the socket terminal 61 and the plug terminal 62, thereby improving the stability of the socket terminal 61 and the plug terminal 62 during mating and reducing the wobble of the socket terminal 61 relative to the plug terminal 62. The minimum inner diameter of the conductive ring 63 is smaller than the minimum diameter of the abutment groove 64, allowing the conductive ring 63 to press firmly against the inner wall of the groove, further improving the stability of the connection between the socket terminal 61 and the plug terminal 62.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The locking assembly 5 includes a slider 53, multiple first locking teeth 51, and multiple second locking teeth 52. The slider 53 is slidably connected to the plug housing 3 along an axis perpendicular to the second clearance groove 4. Part of the slider 53 extends into the second clearance groove 4 and can pass through and out of the second clearance groove 4. An elastic element 54, which is a spring, connects the slider 53 and the plug housing 3. The multiple first locking teeth 51 are fixedly connected to the end of the socket housing 1 near the opening of the first clearance groove 2 along the axis of the first clearance groove 2. The first locking teeth 51 are annular and coaxially arranged with the first clearance groove 2. The multiple second locking teeth 52 are fixedly connected to the end of the slider 53 facing the plug terminal 62 along the axis of the second clearance groove 4, so that the second locking teeth 52 can pass through and out of the second clearance groove 4 as the slider 53 moves.

[0045] When the plug terminal 62 and the socket terminal 61 need to be electrically connected, the operator moves the slider 53, causing the second locking tooth 52 to pass through the second clearance groove 4, and keeps the slider 53 in the position where the second locking tooth 52 passes through the second clearance groove 4. At the same time, the elastic element 54 deforms as the slider 53 moves. Then, the socket housing 1 is inserted into the second clearance groove 4, so that the plug terminal 62 and the socket terminal 61 are engaged. Then, the operator releases the slider 53, the elastic element 54 returns to its original deformation and drives the slider 53 to move, so that the second locking tooth 52 passes into the second clearance groove 4 and engages with the first locking tooth 51, thereby locking the socket housing 1 and the plug housing 3. When it is necessary to release the lock of the socket housing 1 and the plug housing 3, the operator slides the slider 53, the slider 53 drives the second locking tooth 52 to pass through the second clearance groove 4, so that the second locking tooth 52 disengages from the first locking tooth 51, thereby releasing the lock of the socket housing 1 and the plug housing 3.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The portable health and medical device connection cable includes a disinfection component 7, which includes a pin 75. The pin 75 is fixedly connected to the end face of the second relief groove 4 along the axial direction of the second relief groove 4. A storage groove 71 is formed at the end of the socket housing 1 away from the opening of the first relief groove 2, along the axial direction of the first relief groove 2. The storage groove 71 has an annular cross-section and a threaded inner wall. A pressure block 72 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the storage groove 71. The pressure block 72 has an annular cross-section. When the pressure block 72 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the storage groove 71, the pressure block 72 can seal one end of the storage groove 71. A liquid reservoir containing disinfectant is placed inside the storage groove 71. A first liquid guiding hole 73 is formed on the inner end face of the storage tank 71 along the length direction of the first relief groove 2. The other end of the first liquid guiding hole 73 penetrates the end face of the socket housing 1. The cross-section of the first liquid guiding hole 73 is circular, and the inner diameter of the first liquid guiding hole 73 is larger than the outer diameter of the pin 75. The length of the first liquid guiding hole 73 is smaller than the length of the pin 75. A plurality of second liquid guiding holes 74 are formed on the inner sidewall of the first relief groove 2 along a direction perpendicular to the axis of the first relief groove 2. The second liquid guiding holes 74 penetrate the first liquid guiding hole 73 and the socket housing 1, so that the second liquid guiding holes 74 communicate with the first liquid guiding hole 73. In order to facilitate the demonstration of the internal structure of the storage tank 71, the liquid storage bladder is not shown in the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this application.

[0047] The reservoir bladder is placed inside the storage tank 71, and then the pressure block 72 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 71. During the process of inserting the socket housing 1 into the second recess 4 to engage the socket terminal 61 and the plug terminal 62, one end of the pin 75 passes through the first liquid guide hole 73 and into the storage tank 71. After the pin 75 enters the storage tank 71, the socket housing 1 continues to move, causing the pin 75 to puncture the reservoir bladder. The disinfectant inside the reservoir bladder flows out into the storage tank 71 and through the first liquid guide hole 73 and the second liquid guide hole 74 into the first recess 2 and the second recess 4. This allows the disinfectant to coat the inner walls of the first recess 2 and the second recess 4, disinfecting the internal structures of the first recess 2 and the second recess 4, thus facilitating the disinfection of the internal structures of the medical instrument connection cables by the operator. After the socket housing 1 and plug housing 3 are locked, the operator rotates the pressure block 72, causing it to move closer to the first liquid guide hole 73 and squeeze the liquid storage bag. The residual disinfectant inside the storage bag flows into the storage tank 71 under the squeezing action of the pressure block 72, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the disinfectant. Then, the pressure block 72 is rotated in the opposite direction, causing it to detach from the inner wall of the storage tank 71, and the liquid storage bag is removed.

[0048] The pressure block 72 can seal the storage tank 71 and squeeze out the residual disinfectant in the storage bladder, thereby improving the utilization efficiency and disinfection effect of the disinfectant.

[0049] The second liquid guide hole 74 facilitates the application of disinfectant to different positions in the first relief tank 2 and the second relief tank 4, thereby further improving the utilization efficiency and disinfection effect of the disinfectant.

[0050] The needle 75 can guide the disinfectant inside the reservoir to the second relief groove 4, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the disinfectant.

[0051] The implementation principle of a portable health check medical instrument connection cable according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: a reservoir containing disinfectant is placed inside the storage tank 71. During the connection process between the socket terminal 61 and the plug terminal 62, the pin 75 passes through the first liquid guide hole 73 and punctures the reservoir. As the socket housing 1 moves, the disinfectant inside the reservoir flows out along the first liquid guide hole 73 and the second liquid guide hole 74 and coats the inner walls of the first clearance groove 2 and the second clearance groove 4 to disinfect the inside of the first clearance groove 2 and the second clearance groove 4, thereby facilitating the operator to disinfect the internal structure of the medical instrument connection cable.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
