Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to an operating room gauze placement device with a regulating mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] During surgery, when a patient experiences bleeding, gauze is used to stop the bleeding and prevent blood from obstructing the doctor's view. After use, the gauze is usually disposed of in a special storage device. However, due to the time constraints of surgery, the gauze is often simply discarded, resulting in a messy pile of used gauze in the storage device. Before the surgery is completed, the used gauze needs to be counted to ensure that the actual number of used gauze matches the number in the storage device. This helps determine if any gauze remains inside the patient's body, preventing any unremoved gauze from being left behind when suturing the surgical incision. This requires separating and counting the gauze in the storage device one by one. During this counting process, the patient is still in an open-chest or open-abdomen state. In this state, the more time is wasted, the greater the harm to the patient's body. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings mentioned in the background art, the present invention provides an operating room gauze placement device with a regularization mechanism.

[0004] Technical Solution: An operating room gauze placement device with a regulating mechanism includes a housing, a cover plate hinged to the upper side of the housing, a collection shell and a first mounting frame fixedly connected inside the housing, the collection shell being located above the first mounting frame, a separation shell fixedly connected to the upper side of the first mounting frame, the first mounting frame being slidably connected to uniformly distributed sliding members, the lower sliding member being fixedly connected to a first sliding rod, the remaining sliding members being slidably connected to the first sliding rod, and tension springs being provided between the remaining sliding members and adjacent first sliding rods, the upper side of the first mounting frame being slidably connected to the first sliding rod, tension springs being provided between the first mounting frame and adjacent first sliding rods, and a counting plate being fixedly connected to the first sliding rod.

[0005] Furthermore, a second mounting bracket is fixedly connected inside the housing, and a second sliding rod is slidably connected to the second mounting bracket. A push plate is fixedly connected to the side of the second sliding rod near the separation shell.

[0006] Furthermore, the second mounting bracket is rotatably connected to a drive shaft, and the drive shaft is connected to the second sliding rod via a gear and rack transmission. A gearbox is fixedly connected to the outside of the housing, the output shaft of the gearbox is fixedly connected to the drive shaft, and the input shaft of the gearbox is fixedly connected to the hinge shaft of the cover plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a first fixed shell is fixedly connected to the outer side of the housing, the first fixed shell is provided with a sliding shell, the sliding shell is slidably connected to a sliding column, a spring is provided between the sliding column and the sliding shell, the collecting shell is hinged to a hinge shell, the hinge shell is slidably connected to a hinge rod hinged to the cover plate, both the hinge shell and the sliding shell are filled with liquid, the hinge shell and the sliding shell are connected by a hose, and the hose passes through the sliding column.

[0008] Furthermore, the counting plate is provided with a groove that cooperates with the corresponding sliding member for positioning.

[0009] Furthermore, the first mounting bracket is slidably connected with evenly distributed first limiting posts, and a spring is provided between the first limiting posts and the first mounting bracket. The sliding member is provided with a groove that limits and cooperates with the adjacent first limiting posts.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a second fixed shell, which is fixedly connected to the collection shell. A third sliding rod is slidably connected to the side of the second fixed shell near the separation shell. The first fixed shell is slidably connected to the sliding shell, and a spring is provided between them. Both the second fixed shell and the first fixed shell are filled with liquid. The second fixed shell and the first fixed shell are connected by a hose. A separation block is fixedly connected to the side of the third sliding rod near the separation shell. A collection bucket is fixedly connected inside the shell.

[0011] Furthermore, the side of the separation shell closer to the collection bucket is lower than the side closer to the counting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the spring constant between the first fixed shell and the sliding shell is greater than the spring constant between the sliding shell and the sliding column.

[0013] Furthermore, the first fixed shell is slidably connected to a second limiting post, a spring is provided between the second limiting post and the first fixed shell, and the sliding shell is provided with a groove that cooperates with the second limiting post for limiting.

[0014] The beneficial effects are: by collecting and arranging the gauze in sequence, the gauze used in surgery is easier to count, eliminating the need to separate and count clumps of gauze, thereby shortening the time spent in the operation, reducing the time the patient's body is in an open state, and reducing the harm of surgery to the patient's body.

[0015] By using the separation block and the separation shell to squeeze out the blood absorbed by the gauze, doctors can more accurately judge the amount of bleeding in patients during surgery, thereby improving the safety of patients during surgery and avoiding errors in doctors' judgment of the amount of bleeding, which could lead to excessive bleeding due to untimely blood transfusions, thus ensuring the safety of patients during surgery.

[0016] The sliding shell is limited by the second limiting post, so that the opening and closing of the cover and the movement of the separation block are carried out in steps, and both steps are achieved by stepping down with the foot, making the operation of this device more convenient.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] After use, the existing gauze is usually discarded in a special storage device. Then, the gauze in the storage device needs to be sorted out and counted one by one, which increases the operation time.

[0028] Example 1: An operating room gauze placement device with a regulating mechanism, such as... Figures 1-7 As shown, the device includes a housing 1, which is made of transparent material to facilitate observation of the amount of gauze stored inside. A discharge port is located on the right side of the housing 1 for cleaning the gauze inside. A door is provided at the discharge port to seal it. Neither the discharge port nor the door is shown in the figure. A cover plate 2 is hinged to the upper side of the housing 1. An inverted truncated pyramidal collecting shell 3 and a first mounting frame 4 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the housing 1. The collecting shell 3 is located above the first mounting frame 4. A separating shell 5 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the first mounting frame 4 and is located below the collecting shell 3. The projected area of ​​the lower side of the collecting shell 3 on the horizontal plane is equal to the projected area of ​​the separating shell 5 on the horizontal plane, allowing the gauze falling into the collecting shell 3 to slide down onto the separating shell 5. A mounting frame 4 is slidably connected to eight evenly distributed sliding parts 6. The lower sliding part 6 is fixedly connected to a first sliding rod 7, and the remaining seven sliding parts 6 are slidably connected to the first sliding rod 7. Each of the remaining seven sliding parts 6 is provided with a tension spring between it and the adjacent first sliding rod 7. The tension spring is initially in a stretched state and is used to move the adjacent first sliding rod 7. The upper side of the first mounting frame 4 is slidably connected to the first sliding rod 7. The first mounting frame 4 is provided with a tension spring between it and the adjacent first sliding rod 7. The tension spring is initially in a stretched state and is used to move the adjacent first sliding rod 7. The first sliding rod 7 is fixedly connected to a counting plate 8. The counting plate 8 is used to hold gauze, thereby facilitating the counting of gauze. The lower side of the counting plate 8 is provided with a groove that limits the corresponding sliding part 6.

[0029] like Figures 3-5 As shown, a second mounting bracket 9 is fixedly connected to the front side inside the housing 1. A second sliding rod 10 is slidably connected to the second mounting bracket 9. The axis of the second sliding rod 10 is parallel to the axis of the separation housing 5. A push plate 11 is fixedly connected to the right side of the second sliding rod 10.

[0030] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second mounting bracket 9 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 12, which passes through the rear side of the housing 1. The drive shaft 12 and the second sliding rod 10 are driven by a gear and rack. A gearbox 13 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the housing 1. The gearbox 13 is used to accelerate the rotation of the cover plate 2. The output shaft of the gearbox 13 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 12, and the input shaft of the gearbox 13 is fixedly connected to the hinge shaft of the cover plate 2. When the cover plate 2 rotates, the drive shaft 12 is driven to rotate through the gearbox 13.

[0031] like Figures 3-5 As shown, a first fixed shell 14 is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer shell 1. The first fixed shell 14 is provided with a sliding shell 15. A sliding column 16 is slidably connected to the upper side of the sliding shell 15. A spring is provided between the sliding column 16 and the sliding shell 15. The spring is used to reset the sliding column 16. A hinge shell 201 is hinged to the upper side of the collecting shell 3. A hinge rod 202 that is hinged to the cover plate 2 is slidably connected to the upper side of the hinge shell 201. Both the hinge shell 201 and the sliding shell 15 are filled with liquid. The liquid mentioned here and below is hydraulic oil. The hinge shell 201 and the sliding shell 15 are connected by a hose. The hose passes through the sliding column 16.

[0032] like Figure 7 As shown, the first mounting bracket 4 is slidably connected with eight evenly distributed first limiting posts 17. A spring is provided between the first limiting posts 17 and the first mounting bracket 4. The spring is initially in a compressed state and is used to provide resistance to the movement of adjacent sliding members 6 for adjacent first limiting posts 17. The sliding member 6 is provided with a groove that is limited and matched with the adjacent first limiting posts 17.

[0033] When using this device, first place it in the designated location. When the gauze is used up, step on the sliding column 16 to move it downwards and compress the adjacent spring. The sliding column 16 forces the liquid in the sliding shell 15 into the hinge shell 201 through the hose. The increased liquid in the hinge shell 201 pushes the hinge rod 202 upwards. The hinge rod 202 pushes the cover plate 2 to flip open. When the cover plate 2 flips, it drives the transmission shaft 12 to rotate through the gearbox 13. The transmission shaft 12 drives the second sliding... When rod 10 moves to the left, the second sliding rod 10 drives the push plate 11 to move. When the sliding column 16 moves to the limit position, the cover plate 2 opens to the limit position. At the same time, the push plate 11 moves to the top of the separation shell 5. At this time, the used gauze is thrown into the collection shell 3. The gauze slides along the collection shell 3 to the upper side of the separation shell 5. Then, the foot stepping on the sliding column 16 is removed. The sliding column 16 is reset under the action of the adjacent spring. The sliding column 16 drives the cover plate 2 to close. The cover plate 2 drives the push plate 11 to move to the right. The push plate 11 pushes the gauze to move to the right.

[0034] After the cover plate 2 is closed, the push plate 11 pushes the gauze down from the top of the separation shell 5. The gauze falls onto the bottommost counting plate 8. Due to the increased weight, the bottommost counting plate 8 moves downward via the adjacent first sliding rod 7, which in turn moves the adjacent sliding member 6. The sliding member 6 presses against the adjacent first limiting post 17, which compresses the adjacent spring. The bottommost sliding member 6 separates from the groove on the second counting plate 8 from the bottom. After the second counting plate 8 from the bottom loses its limit, the adjacent first sliding rod 7 pushes the counting plate 8 to the right under the action of the adjacent tension spring, thus preparing the second counting plate 8 from the bottom to load the next gauze. When the gauze is dropped into the device, the above steps are repeated. When counting the number of gauze after the operation, it is only necessary to observe how many gauze are inside from the outside of the device. There is no need to rearrange the used gauze for counting, thereby reducing the time spent during the operation.

[0035] Example 2: Based on Example 1, as follows Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a second fixed shell 18, which is fixed to the upper side of the collection shell 3 by a fixed rod. A third sliding rod 19 is slidably connected to the lower side of the second fixed shell 18. The first fixed shell 14 and the sliding shell 15 are slidably connected, and a spring is provided between them to reset the sliding shell 15. Both the second fixed shell 18 and the first fixed shell 14 are filled with liquid, and the second fixed shell 18 and the first fixed shell 14 are connected by a hose. A separation block 20 is fixed to the lower side of the third sliding rod 19. The separation block 20 cooperates with the separation shell 5 to squeeze out the blood from the gauze. A collection bucket 21 is fixed to the left side inside the shell 1. The collection bucket 21 is made of transparent material to facilitate observation of the blood collected inside the collection bucket 21. The amount of water depends on the amount of blood. After the surgery, the shell 1 can be tilted. At this time, the blood enters the shell 1 from the collection bucket 21 and then exits from the discharge port of the shell 1. The left side of the separation shell 5 is lower than the right side, so that the blood squeezed out from the gauze flows to the left along the separation shell 5 and enters the collection bucket 21. The elastic coefficient of the spring between the first fixed shell 14 and the sliding shell 15 is greater than the elastic coefficient of the spring between the sliding shell 15 and the sliding column 16. So that when the sliding column 16 moves downward relative to the sliding shell 15 to the limit position, the sliding shell 15 moves downward with the sliding column 16. During the reset, the sliding shell 15 and the sliding column 16 first move upward relative to the first fixed shell 14. After the sliding shell 15 is reset, the sliding column 16 continues to move upward.

[0036] like Figure 8As shown, the first fixed shell 14 is slidably connected to the second limiting post 22. A spring is provided between the second limiting post 22 and the first fixed shell 14. The spring is initially in a compressed state, which is used to provide resistance to the downward movement of the second limiting post 22 against the sliding shell 15. When the sliding post 16 moves to the extreme position relative to the sliding shell 15, the sliding shell 15 squeezes the second limiting post 22 to move. The second limiting post 22 further compresses the adjacent spring. The sliding shell 15 is provided with a groove that limits and cooperates with the second limiting post 22.

[0037] When cover 2 is opened and the gauze falls onto separation shell 5, continue pressing down on sliding post 16. At this point, sliding post 16 has moved to its limit position relative to sliding shell 15. Sliding post 16 drives sliding shell 15 to move downwards, and sliding shell 15 compresses the lower spring. When sliding shell 15 moves downwards, it squeezes the second limiting post 22. When the second limiting post 22 moves, it compresses the adjacent spring. Sliding shell 15 forces the liquid in the first fixed shell 14 into the second fixed shell 18 through the hose. The increased liquid in the second fixed shell 18 pushes the third sliding rod 19 downwards. The third sliding rod 19 drives separation block 20 downwards, separating... The separating block 20 and the separating shell 5 together squeeze the gauze, expelling the blood from the gauze. After the blood is squeezed out, it flows to the left side of the separating shell 5 and falls into the collection bucket 21. After the blood in the gauze is squeezed out, the foot is lifted, and the sliding shell 15 is reset under the action of the lower spring. The sliding shell 15 drives the separating block 20 to reset. After the sliding shell 15 is reset, the second limiting post 22 is reinserted into the groove of the sliding shell 15 under the action of the adjacent spring. Then, the foot is lifted again, so that the sliding post 16 is reset relative to the sliding shell 15, and the cover plate 2 is closed. At this time, the blood is separated from the gauze, so that the amount of bleeding of the patient can be more accurately judged.

[0038] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes made based on the content of the present invention should be included within the scope of the present invention.
