[0036] See also Figure 1 This embodiment provides an automatic visualized catheterization auxiliary system, including a tracking camera display device and a cleaning device. The display mechanism 3 in the tracking camera display device is placed on the ground, and the camera device 1 and the display mechanism 3 are connected by rotating the adjustment device 2; a flushing pipe 411 is arranged inside the connecting pipe body in the cleaning device, and a ventilation pipe 45 is arranged around the outside of the flushing pipe 411.

[0037] In this embodiment, the camera device 1 is used to accurately locate the position of the urethral opening during the process of the female patient inserting the catheter by herself, and to capture and enlarge the video image around the urethral opening; please refer to Figure 3 By rotating the adjustment device 2, the shooting position and shooting angle of the camera device 1 can be adjusted; by using the display mechanism 3, the video image recorded and transmitted back by the camera device 1 can be displayed in real time, thereby helping the patient to accurately locate the position of the urethral opening for smooth intubation; by using the flushing tube 411, the urethral opening after catheterization can be flushed and cleaned; by using the ventilation tube 45, the urethral opening and the surrounding area can be blown dry after flushing, thereby keeping it clean.

[0038] See also Figure 2 , an infrared device 12 is provided on the camera device 1, and the infrared device includes an infrared lamp 121 and a fixed frame 122, and the infrared lamp is installed on the camera device 1 through the fixed frame;

[0039] In this embodiment, infrared light is emitted by the infrared lamp 121 for illumination, so that the system can work in an environment with low light intensity or in complete darkness, thereby assisting the zoom lens 111 in capturing high-definition video images of the urethral opening.

[0040] The zoom device 11 in the camera device 1 includes a zoom lens 111 and a zoom lens barrel 112 , which are mounted on the camera device 1 via a fixing plate 13 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the zoom lens 111 achieves different viewing angles and magnifications by adjusting the relative positions of the lens groups. By changing the focal length, the zoom lens 111 can switch between low magnification and high magnification, thereby adjusting the viewing angle and composition of photographing the urethral opening. The zoom lens barrel 112 provides a stable mechanical structure to support the zoom lens group, ensuring the accurate alignment of the lens group during the zooming process. The zoom lens barrel 112 contains a zoom mechanism, which realizes the relative movement of the lens group through rotation or sliding operation, thereby changing the focal length.

[0042] An electric heating resistance wire is arranged inside the ventilation pipe 45 .

[0043] In this embodiment, an electric heating resistor is arranged on the inner wall of the vent tube 45 to heat the airflow passing through the vent tube 45, so that the urethral opening is kept dry and clean after the catheterization operation.

[0044] See also Figure 4-6 A flushing liquid storage box 421 is installed on the connecting pipe body 4, and the flushing liquid storage box has a box cover 423.

[0045] In this embodiment, the flushing liquid storage box 421 is made of transparent plastic, which is convenient for storing sterile flushing liquid and observing the remaining liquid amount. At the same time, by providing a box cover 423 on the flushing liquid storage box 421, it is convenient to replenish the sterile flushing liquid in time.

[0046] A support bar 48 is installed on the connecting block 47 , and a temperature insulating rubber pad 49 is bonded to the support bar 48 .

[0047] In this embodiment, a support bar 48 is installed on the connecting block 47, and a thermal insulation rubber pad 49 is bonded to the support bar 48, so that when a female patient uses the cleaning device by holding it in her hand, the cleaning device can be more stably placed around the urethral opening through the support of the support bar 48, and the thermal insulation rubber pad 49 can improve the comfort of the cleaning device when it contacts the skin around the urethral opening, thereby enhancing the use experience of the cleaning device by female patients.

[0048] A connecting rod 43 is provided inside the flushing liquid storage box 421, the bottom end of the connecting rod 43 is connected to a valve plug 44, and the top end is connected to a flushing liquid opening knob 422;

[0049] In this embodiment, after the catheterization is completed, the female patient can fix the connecting tube body 4 above the urethral opening by hand-held operation, and then pull out the flushing liquid opening knob 422 to make the connecting rod 43 move upward, drive the valve plug 44 to rise, and open the pipe mouth of the flushing tube 411; press the flushing button 412 connected to the water pump, so that the flushing liquid inside the flushing liquid storage box 421 flows out with a certain pressure to flush the urethral opening.

[0050] Working principle of the system: When in use, first move the tracking camera display device to the patient's bedside, and rotate the first gear rotating piece 331 and the second gear rotating piece 332 in the height adjustment device 33 to adjust the display screen 31 to a suitable height. After starting the camera device 1, the zoom lens 111 cooperates with the infrared lamp 121 to automatically locate, track and shoot the patient's urethral opening. At the same time, the rotating device 21 (including the first rotating arm 211, the second rotating arm 212 and the third rotating arm 213) and the driving device 22 (including the first driving joint 221 and the first driving joint 222) inside the rotating adjustment device 2 cooperate with each other, and perform appropriate rotation and telescopic adjustment in combination with the focus and shooting clarity. The video sensor 14 displays the shot video on the display screen 31. Based on the quality of the picture in the video and the positioning of the urethral opening, the zoom lens 111 continuously and automatically updates the focal length, and cooperates with the rotating adjustment device 2 to ensure that the female patient can clearly and accurately see the situation of his or her urethral opening through the display screen 31, so as to smoothly insert the catheter into the urethra for catheterization. After the catheterization stage is successfully completed, the patient holds the cleaning device by hand and presses the four support bars 48 against the urethral opening to keep the cleaning device stable. The insulation rubber pad 49 can prevent the support bars 48 from causing discomfort due to low temperature when in contact with the patient's skin, effectively improving the comfort of use. Then, the flushing liquid opening knob 422 and the flushing button 412 are pulled out, so that the connecting rod 43 moves upward, and the valve plug 44 is lifted upward under the drive of the connecting rod 43, and the pipe mouth of the flushing tube 411 is opened, and the sterile flushing liquid in the flushing liquid storage box 421 flows downward, thereby flushing and cleaning the urethral opening. After the flushing is completed, the fan 46 is turned on to generate airflow, and the airflow flows through the ventilation tube 45 to blow and dry the patient's urethral opening after flushing and cleaning, and an electric heating resistance wire is arranged on the inner side of the ventilation tube 45 to heat the airflow passing through the ventilation tube 45, thereby improving the patient's comfort of use and accelerating the drying process of the urethral opening and the skin around it. When the flushing liquid in the flushing liquid storage box 421 is insufficient, it can be replenished in time by opening the box cover 423.
