[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In the above scheme, by setting up a delivery component, the cooling liquid can not only cool the urethra when it circulates, but also fix the catheter inserted into the urethra to prevent the catheter from sliding in the urethra and affecting the ablation operation. In addition, there are curvatures between the multiple U-shaped tubes, which can not only increase the friction effect to further improve the fixation of the catheter, but also increase the path length of the liquid flow, making it easier for the liquid to enter the outer cavity through the first inlet hole. The above structure can cool the position close to the ablation needle and reduce thermal damage.

[0014] By setting up a drainage component, negative pressure will be generated when the coolant flows through the delivery pump at a high speed. The negative pressure attracts the accumulated liquid through the second guide tube on the first liquid bottle, so that the accumulated liquid enters the first liquid bottle; by setting up a sleeve on the inner tube, it can play an isolation role, which can prevent the accumulated liquid from contaminating the inner tube, and can also play a heat insulation role, reducing the impact of the heat in the steam pipe on the catheter. The above structure can drain the high-temperature liquid flowing into the urethra, prevent it from accumulating in the urethra, affecting the surgical line of sight and damaging the urethra.

[0015] In addition, the conveying component and the drainage component are driven in coordination, and no additional structure is required for driving.

[0016] By setting the first closing plug and the second closing plug, unnecessary leakage from gaps can be reduced, which is conducive to the absorption of accumulated fluid from the urethra into the external cavity and the discharge of accumulated fluid in the external cavity into the first liquid bottle through the connecting tube and the second guide tube. By setting the first plug body and the second plug body, when the sleeve is pulled out, the first plug body and the second plug body on it can further scrape out the accumulated fluid that has not been drained clean in the external cavity. By setting a rubber strip on the outer surface of the first plug body, when the first plug body passes through the external cavity, the rubber strip on it will be inserted into the first guide hole and the second guide hole to slide in and out, further improving the cleaning effect of the plug body. Therefore, it can not only play a role in sealing the external cavity, but also further clean the external cavity when it is pulled out; by setting the first spring sheet and the second spring sheet with an elastic structure, the inner ring and the outer ring can be further expanded, which can not only improve the sealing effect, but also improve the cleaning effect of scraping the inner wall of the external cavity.

[0017] By providing the first hose, the second hose and the sphere, the sphere can always remain in the spherical cavity, thereby not affecting the flow of liquid; and when not in use, the elastic surface on the cooling tube will allow the coolant in the cooling tube to enter the spherical cavity due to the elastic effect, and the excess gas will be discharged through the air holes, thereby restoring the cooling tube to the default state, which is convenient and quick.

[0040] like Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a cooling catheter, comprising a main unit, an ablation needle, and a handpiece 1 connected to the main unit, a detachable catheter 2 is installed at the water outlet end of the handpiece 1, a steam pipe 30 is installed in the catheter 2, one end of the steam pipe 30 is connected to the ablation needle, a tube head 3 is fixedly connected to the front end of the catheter 2, the ablation needle is telescopically installed in the tube head 3, and a snare 4 is installed on the side of the catheter 2;

The cooling tube 5 is continuously bent to form a plurality of interconnected U-shaped flat tubes, and the outer surface of the U-shaped flat tube is an elastic surface 8. In the default state, the cooling tube 5 is a U-shaped flat tube. When the coolant passes through the cooling tube 5, the cooling tube 5 is stretched open, so that the cooling tube 5 is in contact with the urethra. When the coolant circulates, the urethra is cooled, and the diameter of the stretched cooling tube 5 is large. The cooling tube 5 is larger than the diameter of the catheter 2, so on the basis of cooling the urethra, it can also fix the catheter 2 inserted into the urethra to prevent the catheter 2 from sliding in the urethra and affecting the ablation operation; in addition, there are curvatures between the multiple U-shaped tubes, which can not only increase the friction effect to further improve the fixation of the catheter 2, but also conveniently increase the path length of the liquid flow, thereby facilitating the liquid to enter the outer cavity 29 through the first inlet hole 6. The above structure realizes cooling of the position close to the ablation needle and reduces thermal damage, while playing a fixing role to prevent the catheter 2 from sliding in the urethra and affecting the ablation operation.

Therefore, when the handpiece 1 is tilted, the liquid in the spherical cavity 25 and the sphere 26 will tilt in the spherical cavity 25, so that the sphere 26 always remains in the spherical cavity 25, thereby not affecting the flow of the liquid; and the second liquid bottle 22 is provided with an air hole for exhausting air and storing coolant. When the coolant stops being transported, the coolant loses fluidity. At this time, the elastic surface 8 on the cooling tube 5 will, due to the elastic effect, push the coolant in the cooling tube 5 into the spherical cavity 25, and the excess gas will be discharged along the air hole, thereby restoring the cooling tube 5 to the default state, improving the convenience effect, and facilitating the operation of medical staff.

Since the branch pipe 11 is connected to the water outlet 10, one end of the first guide pipe 12 is inserted into the first liquid bottle 15, and the first guide pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the first liquid bottle 15. The other end of 12 is connected to the branch pipe 11, and the outer end of the second lead pipe 13 in the first liquid bottle 15 is connected to the connecting pipe 33, wherein the lengths of the first lead pipe 12 and the second lead pipe 13 extending into the first liquid bottle 15 are close to the bottle mouth, so when the coolant flows at a high speed through the delivery pump, negative pressure will be generated. Since the branch pipe 11 is connected to the water outlet 10, the negative pressure attracts the accumulated liquid through the second lead pipe 13 on the first liquid bottle 15, so that the accumulated liquid enters the first liquid bottle 15; a sleeve 52 is sleeved on the inner tube 60, and the sleeve 52 is sleeved on the inner tube 60 to play an isolation role, which can prevent the accumulated liquid from contaminating the inner tube 60 and play a heat insulation role, reducing the influence of the heat in the steam pipe 30 on the catheter 2, and assisting the cooling effect. The above structure realizes the drainage of the high-temperature liquid flowing into the urethra, preventing it from accumulating in the urethra and affecting the surgical line of sight and damaging the urethra.

Since the first sealing plug 32 and the second sealing plug 41 are respectively located at the two ends of the sleeve 52, unnecessary gap leakage can be reduced, which is conducive to the absorption of accumulated fluid from the urethra into the outer cavity 29 and the discharge of accumulated fluid in the outer cavity 29 into the first liquid bottle 15 through the connecting tube 33 and the second guide tube 13. The conveying component and the drainage component are driven in coordination, and no additional structure is required to drive them.

[0046] like Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.13As shown, the second closing plug 41 includes a second plug body 40 and a first plug body 39, and the second plug body 40 and the first plug body 39 both include an outer ring 42 and an inner ring 43 that are integrated.

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, a cover plate 17 located above the fixing clamp 14 is hingedly connected to the mounting frame 16 , and the first liquid bottle 15 is plugged and fixed to the cover plate 17 .

[0048] like Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown, one end of the sleeve 52 is fixedly connected to a fixing ring 51, and both ends of the fixing ring 51 are surrounded by a plurality of first elastic pieces 49 that match the size of the groove 44, and a second elastic piece 50 is fixedly connected to the plurality of first elastic pieces 49; the inner ring 43 includes an integrated shovel edge 45, a retaining ring 46 and an arcuate edge 48, and the retaining ring 46 and the arcuate edge 48 cooperate to form a collecting groove 47, wherein the retaining ring 46 has a triangular cross-section, and the retaining ring 46 is located between the collecting grooves 47. When the sleeve 52 is taken out, the first plug body 39 and the second plug body 40 on the sleeve 52 are both in line with the shape of the inner wall of the outer cavity 29, and the residual accumulated liquid on the inner wall of the outer cavity 29 can be shoveled up by the shovel edge 45, and the retaining ring 46 is located between the collecting grooves 47. The accumulated liquid slides into the collecting groove 47 through the triangular retaining ring 46. Since a rubber strip is provided on the outer surface of the first plug body 39, when the first plug body 39 passes through the outer cavity 29, the rubber strip thereon will be inserted into the first inlet hole 6 and the second inlet hole 7 and slide in and out. In this process, the purpose of cleaning the first inlet hole 6 and the second inlet hole 7 is achieved, and the accumulated liquid is further facilitated to be introduced into the first liquid bottle 15. By providing a first spring piece 49 and a second spring piece 50 with an elastic structure, wherein the first spring piece 49 and the shovel edge 45 are matched in shape, and the second spring piece 50 and the collecting groove 47 and the arc-shaped edge 48 are fitted in shape, the elastic piece further expands the inner ring 43 and the outer ring 42, which can not only improve the sealing effect, but also improve the cleaning effect of scraping out the inner wall of the outer cavity 29.

[0049] like Fig.11 As shown, a plurality of discharge grooves 53 are formed around the surface of the fixing ring 51 , and the plurality of discharge grooves 53 are respectively aligned with the plurality of first elastic sheets 49 , and the edges of the plurality of discharge grooves 53 are arc structures.

[0050] The working principle provided by the present invention is that a conveying component is set, and the cooling tube 5 in the conveying component is continuously bent to form a plurality of interconnected U-shaped flat tubes, and the outer surface of the U-shaped flat tube is an elastic surface 8. Since the cooling tube 5 is a U-shaped flat tube in the default state, when the cooling liquid passes through the cooling tube 5, the cooling tube 5 will be stretched open, so that the cooling tube 5 and the urethra are in contact, and the cooling liquid circulates to achieve the effect of cooling the urethra, and the diameter of the stretched cooling tube 5 is larger than the diameter of the catheter 2. Therefore, on the basis of the cooling tube 5 to achieve urethra cooling, it can also play a fixing role on the catheter 2 inserted into the urethra to prevent the catheter 2 from sliding in the urethra and affecting the ablation operation. In addition, there are curvatures between the multiple U-shaped tubes, which can not only increase the friction effect to further improve the fixation of the catheter 2, but also conveniently increase the path length of the liquid flow, thereby facilitating the liquid to enter the outer cavity 29 through the first lead hole 6. Therefore, the position close to the ablation needle can be cooled to reduce thermal damage, and at the same time play a fixing role to prevent the catheter 2 from sliding in the urethra and affecting the ablation operation.

[0051] By setting the first hose, the second hose and the first liquid bottle, since the first hose 23 and the second hose 24 are made of soft materials, the weight of the sphere 26 is greater than the strength of the hose itself, and the weight of the sphere 26 pulls the hose into the coolant in the second liquid bottle 22. When the handpiece 1 is tilted, the liquid in the spherical cavity 25 and the sphere 26 will tilt in the spherical cavity 25, so that the sphere 26 always remains in the spherical cavity 25, thereby not affecting the flow of liquid; and the second liquid bottle 22 is provided with an air hole for exhausting air and placing coolant. When the coolant stops being transported, the coolant loses fluidity. At this time, the elastic surface 8 on the cooling tube 5 will, due to the elastic effect, push the coolant in the cooling tube 5 into the spherical cavity 25, and the excess gas will be discharged along the air hole, thereby restoring the cooling tube 5 to the default state.

[0052] By setting up the drainage component, when the coolant flows at a high speed through the delivery pump, negative pressure will be generated. Since the branch pipe 11 is connected to the water outlet 10, the negative pressure attracts the accumulated liquid through the second guide pipe 13 on the first liquid bottle 15, so that the accumulated liquid enters the first liquid bottle 15; a sleeve 52 is sleeved on the inner tube 60, and the sleeve 52 is sleeved on the inner tube 60 to play an isolation role, which can prevent the accumulated liquid from contaminating the inner tube 60, and can also play a heat insulation role, reduce the influence of the heat in the steam pipe 30 on the catheter 2, and assist the cooling effect. Therefore, the high-temperature liquid flowing into the urethra can be drained to prevent it from accumulating in the urethra and affecting the surgical line of sight and damaging the urethra.

[0053] By providing the first sealing plug 32 and the second sealing plug 41, unnecessary gap leakage can be reduced, which is conducive to the absorption of accumulated fluid from the urethra into the external cavity and the discharge of accumulated fluid in the external cavity into the first liquid bottle 15 through the connecting tube 33 and the second guide tube 13. By providing the first plug body and the second plug body, when the sleeve is pulled out, the first plug body 39 and the second plug body 40 thereon can further scrape out the accumulated fluid that has not been drained cleanly in the external cavity 29.

[0054] The present invention covers any substitution, modification, equivalent method and scheme made on the essence and scope of the present invention. In order to make the public have a thorough understanding of the present invention, specific details are described in detail in the following preferred embodiments of the present invention, but those skilled in the art can fully understand the present invention without the description of these details. In addition, in order to avoid unnecessary confusion about the essence of the present invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components and circuits are not described in detail.

[0055] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
