Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention particularly relates to a urology stone crushing and aspiration device. Background Art

[0002] Urological stones are common diseases of the urinary system, mainly including kidney stones, ureteral stones, bladder stones and urethral stones. These stones can be treated through lithotripsy.

[0003] Lithotripsy is one of the commonly used methods for the treatment of urological stones. Lithotripsy mainly includes two types: extracorporeal lithotripsy and intracorporeal lithotripsy.

[0004] Extracorporeal lithotripsy, also known as extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, locates the stones through X-rays or ultrasound, and then uses shock waves to break up the stones in the body, which are then excreted from the body through the urinary tract. This method has the advantages of no surgery, no pain, no side effects, short treatment time, and a high stone excretion rate.

[0005] Internal lithotripsy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. During the procedure, the surgeon enters the ureter or kidney through the urethra, finds the urinary stones under direct vision, and then uses pneumatic ballistics or holmium laser lithotripsy to break the stones into small, easily expellable fragments. For example, ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy uses a holmium laser to break up the stones, which are then removed from the body using a ureteroscope and stone removal equipment.

[0006] Existing stone removal equipment includes basket-type stone removal equipment and negative pressure suction stone removal equipment. The basket-type stone removal equipment uses a tube with a stone removal basket to enter the urethra and use the basket to remove stones. Since the structure of the crushed stones is irregular, when the stone is removed with the assistance of the stone basket, the stone basket is limited by its own structure and cannot fully wrap the stone. Therefore, for larger or angular stones, it will cause certain trauma to the ureter and urethral mucosa, and the patient will feel severe discomfort.

[0007] Compared with the basket-type stone removal equipment, the negative pressure suction stone removal device causes less damage to patients and has been used more and more in recent years. It uses a negative pressure suction tube to enter through the urethra and use negative pressure to remove the broken stones. After the stones are broken, the stones discharged through the suction tube are generally the size of soybeans. However, when observing the stone fragments through a ureteroscope, the specific size of the stones cannot be obtained, and it can only rely on the doctor's experience, which will cause the problem of stones blocking the suction tube; if the staff pulls out the suction tube and then clears it, the operation time will be extended; at the same time, if the staff sprays liquid in reverse through the suction tube to flush the stones, the stones will fly out under the impact of the liquid and hit the internal organs or tissues of the human body, causing damage to the human body.

[0008] In addition, since the stones are removed through the urethra, the suction tube needs to be moved frequently during the stone removal process, which causes high stimulation to the patient's urethra and poor patient comfort. Therefore, there is a need for a stone crushing and suction device that is easy to use, prevents suction tube blockage, is highly comfortable and has little stimulation to the patient.

[0009] The Chinese patent: CN202111371048.X, named: A urological stone crushing and suction device, records that it includes a body; a delivery tube, which extends into the human body and is used to widen and support the surgical channel; a sound-generating device, which is located in the body and is used to emit ultrasonic waves; a searchlight device, one end of which is connected to the body and the other end is located in the delivery tube, which is used to illuminate the surgical screen; a crushing device, one end of which is connected to the sound-generating device and the other end is located in the delivery tube, which is used to crush stones; a suction device, including a suction tube; one end of the suction tube is connected to the body and the other end is located in the delivery tube, which is used to suck the crushed stones; it is characterized in that: the other end of the crushing device is located in the delivery tube, and an anti-blocking unit is provided at the front end of the suction tube; the anti-blocking unit can prevent the suction device from being blocked.

[0010] As shown in the attached figure of patent CN202111371048.X, this patent mainly uses an anti-blocking unit to prevent relatively large stones from blocking the tube opening, which can achieve the purpose of preventing stones from blocking the suction tube. However, larger stones still need to be broken up secondary by laser, which is inconvenient to use. In addition, the device does not protect the urethra when removing stones, and the frequent movement of the suction tube during stone removal greatly stimulates the urethra, resulting in poor patient comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0011] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that the existing stone removal equipment causes great irritation to the urethra during use, is poor in comfort, is easily clogged, and is inconvenient to use.

[0014] Preferably, the large-particle stone crushing section includes a vibration component, an extrusion component and a mounting ring. The vibration component and the extrusion component are cross-distributed and connected, and one end is hinged on the mounting ring. The vibration component vibrates the large-particle stones attracted into the suction head, and the extrusion component cooperates with the vibration component to cyclically squeeze the large-particle stones to promote stone breakage. The setting of the large-particle stone crushing section facilitates the crushing of slightly larger stones through the large-particle stone crushing section, facilitates the removal of larger stones, prevents the suction tube from being blocked, and also improves the efficiency of stone removal.

[0015] Preferably, the vibration assembly includes a plurality of vibration plates distributed at intervals. When the vibration plates are energized, they vibrate to promote the crushing of stones. An extrusion block is provided on each vibration plate. The extrusion block contacts the stones. The arrangement of the vibration assembly facilitates the vibration of the stones and promotes the crushing of the stones.

[0016] Preferably, the extrusion component includes an extrusion airbag component, which includes a plurality of V-shaped airbags distributed at intervals. The V-shaped airbags can be inflated and deflated to drive the vibration component to expand and close, and reciprocately extrude the stone particles. The arrangement of the extrusion component facilitates the reciprocating extrusion of the stones through the extrusion component, promotes the crushing of larger stones, and is easy to use.

[0017] In the preferred embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, the stone pushing part includes an installation box, a pushing piece and a pushing rod. The pushing piece is hinged on the pushing rod, and the pushing rod is inserted into the installation box. The pushing rod is connected to the stone pushing part control component in the operating handle through a pull rope. Pulling the pull rope can drive the push rod to move and push out the stones in the negative pressure suction tube. The setting of the stone pushing part makes it easy to push out the stones blocked in the negative pressure suction tube through the stone pushing part, thereby preventing the negative pressure suction tube from being blocked and is easy to use.

[0018] In the preferred embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, the push piece is connected to the installation box through a tension spring. When the push rod moves to push out the stone, the push piece is simultaneously expanded. The setting of the push piece facilitates the contact between the push piece and the stone to push out the stone, thereby effectively preventing the suction tube from being blocked.

[0019] In the preferred embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, the operating handle includes a control part and a stone pushing part control component. The control part is connected to the external host through a control panel. The squeezing pressure, vibration power and negative pressure suction pressure of large-particle stones can be adjusted by the control part. The stone pushing part control component is connected to the stone pushing part. Pulling the control trigger in the stone pushing part control component can control the push rod in the stone pushing part to move. The setting of the stone pushing part control component makes it easy to control the stone pushing part through the stone pushing part control component to push out stones blocked in the negative pressure suction tube, thereby preventing the negative pressure suction tube from being blocked. The stone pushing part control component is easy to use.

[0020] Preferably, the technical solution of the present invention is provided with an attraction head closing part on the large-particle stone crushing part, and the attraction head closing part includes a closing airbag component and an opening airbag component, and the closing airbag component and the opening airbag component are cross-distributed, and the closing airbag component controls the switch of the opening of the attraction head, and the opening airbag component cooperates with the large-particle stone crushing part to crush larger stones. The setting of the attraction head closing part enables the attraction head closing part to prevent the broken stones from splashing and damaging tissues when the large-particle stone crushing part is used to crush stones.

[0021] In the preferred embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, the expansion part includes an inner sleeve, an airbag and an air supply tube. The airbag mounting seat is on the inner sleeve, the inner sleeve is sleeved on the outside of the suction head, and the air supply tube is connected to the airbag. The expansion and resetting of the expansion part can be controlled by the air supply tube, and the inner diameter of the expansion part after expansion is larger than the outer diameter of the negative pressure suction tube. Such an arrangement facilitates providing a stable and unobstructed movement path for the negative pressure suction tube, prevents the suction tube from irritating the urethra when moving, and improves the patient's comfort.

[0022] In the preferred embodiment of the technical solution of the present invention, a V-shaped limiting cavity is provided on the inner sleeve at the position where the large-particle stone crushing part and the suction head closing part cooperate. The inner sleeve cooperates with the large-particle stone crushing part and the suction head closing part through the V-shaped limiting cavity and is fixed on the suction head. The setting of the V-shaped limiting cavity enables the expansion part to be connected to or disassembled with the negative pressure suction tube as needed, which is convenient to use.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention utilizes a negative pressure suction tube to attract crushed stones. An expansion portion for dilating the urethra is provided at the tip of the negative pressure suction tube.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The following is a combination of the embodiments of the present invention Figure 1-16 , the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail. Example

[0044] like Figure 1 、 14 As shown in Figure 16, a urology stone crushing and suction device includes an operating handle 1, a negative pressure suction tube 2, a large-particle stone crushing part 3, a suction head closing part 4, a stone pushing part 5, an expansion part 6 and a host 7 for control.

[0045] One end of the negative pressure suction tube 2 is connected to the main unit 7 through the operating handle 1, and the other end is provided with a large-particle stone crushing part 3 and a suction head closing part 4. The stone pushing part 5 is arranged in the negative pressure suction tube 2, close to the large-particle stone crushing part 3. The expansion part 6 is detachable and can be put on the negative pressure suction tube 2, and the urethra can be expanded through the expansion part 6.

[0046] The main function of the negative pressure suction tube 2 is to use negative pressure to attract the stones after laser pulverization, so as to facilitate the discharge of the stones.

[0047] The main function of the operating handle 1 is to facilitate the user to hold it. At the same time, a control unit 105 is also provided on the operating handle 1, through which various functions of the device can be controlled and adjusted, making it easy to use.

[0048] The main function of the large-particle stone crushing section 3 is to perform secondary crushing on large stones that are difficult to aspirate after laser crushing, which facilitates the discharge of stones, improves the removal efficiency, avoids the replacement of equipment, is easy to use, and reduces the operation time.

[0049] The main function of the suction head closing part 4 is to close the port of the negative pressure suction tube 2 when the large-particle stone crushing part 3 crushes the stones, so as to prevent the stones crushed by the large-particle stone crushing part 3 from splashing and damaging the tissue.

[0050] The main function of the stone pushing part 5 is to use the stone pushing part 5 to push out the larger and harder stones that are sucked into the negative pressure suction tube 2 and cannot be crushed by the large-particle stone crushing part 3 from the negative pressure suction tube 2, thereby preventing the stones from clogging the negative pressure suction tube 2 and ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0051] The main function of the expansion part 6 is to expand and dilate when the negative pressure suction tube 2 is inserted through the urethra to support the urethra. After expansion, the inner diameter of the expansion part 6 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the negative pressure suction tube 2. The negative pressure suction tube 2 can move freely in the channel formed by the expansion part 6 without contacting the inner wall of the patient's urethra, effectively reducing the stimulation of the urethra when the negative pressure suction tube 2 moves to remove stones, and improving the comfort of use.

[0052] The host 7 is an existing device, and its main function is to connect with the negative pressure suction tube 2, the operating handle 1 and other components that need to be controlled. A negative pressure suction pump is provided in the host 7. A display screen 71 and a host control button 72 are also provided on the host 7. The entire device can be controlled and parameters adjusted through the display screen 71 and the host control button 72.

[0053] like Figure 2 、 3 As shown in Figure 4, the operating handle 1 includes an upper cover 101, a lower cover 102, a control unit 105 and a stone pusher control component 112. The upper cover 101 and the lower cover 102 are connected by screws to form a complete operating handle 1. The control unit 105 is arranged in the upper cover 101, and the stone pusher control component 112 is arranged in the lower cover 102.

[0054] The upper cover 101 and the lower cover 102 are handles made of plastic. Chambers for installing various components are opened in the upper cover 101 and the lower cover 102. The control unit 105 and the stone ejection unit control component 112 are both installed in the installation chamber formed by the upper cover 101 and the lower cover 102.

[0055] In order to facilitate the installation of the stone ejection control component 112, a rectangular platform is protruding outward perpendicular to the inner arc surface near the edge of the lower cover 102. This platform is named the trigger mounting platform 104, and the stone ejection control component 112 is installed on this trigger mounting platform 104.

[0056] In order to facilitate operation and installation of the control unit 105, a rectangular platform is recessed on the curved surface near the middle of the upper cover 101, and this platform is named the adjustment platform 103. Two rectangular long holes are provided at intervals along the direction in which the adjustment platform 103 extends, and these holes are named adjustment slide holes. The ultrasonic power adjustment slider 106 and the negative pressure adjustment slider 107 in the control unit 105 are respectively installed in these adjustment slide holes. At the same time, in order to facilitate the installation of the remaining control buttons, a control button mounting hole is further provided between the two adjustment slide holes on the adjustment platform 103, and each control button is respectively installed in this mounting hole.

[0057] The control unit 105 includes a control panel, an ultrasonic power adjustment slider 106, a negative pressure adjustment slider 107, a suction head closing control button 109, an extrusion airbag angle adjustment control button 110 and a crushing control button 111. The control panel is connected to the host 7 through a wire. There are corresponding functional contacts on the control panel. The ultrasonic power adjustment slider 106, the negative pressure adjustment slider 107, the suction head closing control button 109, the extrusion airbag angle adjustment control button 110 and the crushing control button 111 are respectively in contact with the functional contacts.

[0058] The power of the vibration component 301 in the large-particle stone crushing part 3 can be adjusted by the ultrasonic power adjustment slider 106 to improve the stone crushing effect. The negative pressure adjustment slider 107 can adjust the negative pressure attraction of the negative pressure suction tube 2 to facilitate the suction of stones. The suction head closing control button 109 can control the opening and closing of the suction head closing part 4 to prevent stones from splashing during stone crushing. The angle of the extrusion component 305 in the large-particle stone crushing part 3 can be controlled by the squeezing airbag angle adjustment control button 110 to facilitate the fixation of the expansion part 6. The crushing control button 111 can control the opening of the large-particle stone crushing part 3 to crush the stones.

[0059] In order to intuitively display the adjustment positions of the ultrasonic power adjustment slider 106 and the negative pressure adjustment slider 107 , scales 108 representing the adjustment positions of the two are printed on both sides of the upper cover 101 .

[0060] The stone ejection control assembly 112 includes a control trigger 113 and a first pulley 116. A rectangular hinged rod 114 is integrally connected to the end of the control trigger 113. The control trigger 113 is hinged to the trigger mounting platform 104 through the hinged rod 114, and the control trigger 113 is exposed to the outside of the operating handle 1 to facilitate user operation.

[0061] In order to facilitate the installation of the first pulley 116, a sloped hinge seat is provided at the end of the trigger mounting platform 104. The first pulley 116 is connected to the hinge seat through a mounting shaft pin. The pull rope 504 connected to the stone ejecting part 5 passes around the first pulley 116 and is connected to the hinge rod 114. When the control trigger 113 is pulled, the hinge rod 114 drives the pull rope 504 to move, thereby realizing the control of the stone ejecting part 5.

[0062] When the control trigger 113 is released, in order to facilitate the automatic reset of the control trigger 113, a first return spring 115 is fixed on the other side of the hinged rod 114. One end of the first return spring 115 rests on the hinged rod 114, and the other end rests on the trigger mounting platform 104. When the control trigger 113 is pulled, the first return spring 115 is compressed.

[0063] In order to prevent the pull rope 504 from falling off the first pulley 116, the first pulley 116 is preferably an existing anti-falling pulley.

[0064] like Figure 1 、 5 As shown in Figure 6, the negative pressure suction tube 2 includes a tube body and a suction head 21 arranged at the end of the tube body. The tube body is made of the same material as the existing medical negative pressure suction tube. The suction head 21 is made of a material that meets medical standards and has a certain hardness. One end of the suction head 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the tube body.

[0065] In order to facilitate the control of the large-particle stone crushing part 3, the suction head closing part 4 and the stone pushing part 5, a functional boss 22 is protruded outward on the curved surface of the tube body and the suction head 21. The functional boss 22 is fixedly connected to the tube body and the suction head 21 and is distributed along the extension direction of the tube body and the suction head 21. In order to improve comfort, the connection between the functional boss 22 and the tube body and the suction head 21 is excessively smooth.

[0066] A plurality of circular functional holes 24 are provided inside and along the functional boss 22. The power supply line 314 and the air guide tube for supplying power and air to the large-particle stone crushing part 3 pass through the functional holes 24 and are connected to the large-particle stone crushing part 3. The pull rope 504 for controlling the movement of the stone pushing part 5 and the air guide tube for controlling the switch of the suction head closing part 4 pass through the functional holes 24 and are connected to the stone pushing part 5 and the suction head closing part 4.

[0067] In order to facilitate the installation of the stone pushing part 5, a rectangular stone pushing part installation groove 23 is opened on the inner wall of the end of the suction head 21, and the stone pushing part 5 is fixed in this stone pushing part installation groove 23. The stone pushing part 5 is fixed in the stone pushing part installation groove 23. The fixation of the stone pushing part 5 in the stone pushing part installation groove 23 can be fixed by screws or glue, and the stability of the fixation can be ensured. In this embodiment, glue is preferably used for fixation.

[0068] like Figure 7 、8 As shown in Figures 9 and 10, the large-particle stone crushing section 3 includes a vibration component 301, an extrusion component 305 and a mounting ring 311, wherein the vibration component 301 and the extrusion component 305 are cross-distributed to form a circular ring with a cavity inside, and this cavity is named a crushing cavity, and one end of the vibration component 301 and the extrusion component 305 are respectively hinged on the mounting ring 311, and the vibration component 301 and the extrusion component 305 can be expanded and contracted along the hinge, and the mounting ring 311 hinged to the vibration component 301 and the extrusion component 305 is fixed to the end of the suction head 21.

[0069] The main function of the vibration component 301 is to generate ultrasonic waves to loosen the stones in the crushing cavity, making it easier to crush larger stones.

[0070] The function of the squeezing component 305 is to cooperate with the vibration component 301 to cyclically squeeze the stones in the crushing cavity, promote the crushing of larger stones in the crushing cavity, prevent the blockage of the negative pressure suction tube 2, and facilitate the removal of larger stones.

[0071] The function of the mounting ring 311 is to provide a mounting carrier for the vibration assembly 301 and the extrusion assembly 305 . Meanwhile, the vibration assembly 301 and the extrusion assembly 305 are connected to the suction head 21 through the mounting ring 311 .

[0072] The vibration assembly 301 includes multiple vibration plates 302. In this embodiment, four vibration plates 302 are preferably provided. Each vibration plate 302 is V-shaped. The four vibration plates 302 are evenly distributed on the mounting ring 311 and are connected to the mounting ring 311 through a flexible plastic connecting piece, so that the vibration plates 302 can bend and rotate along the connection.

[0073] The outer side surface and the inner side surface of the vibration plate 302 are arc-shaped, that is, the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the entire large-particle stone crushing part 3 are the same as the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the suction head 21.

[0074] There is a groove on the inner side of the vibration plate 302, and a miniature ultrasonic generator 303 is placed in the groove. When the miniature ultrasonic generator 303 is powered on, it can emit ultrasonic waves and drive the vibration plate 302 to vibrate, thereby promoting the crushing of stones.

[0075] The miniature ultrasonic generator 303 is an existing device and can be used directly.

[0076] The extrusion assembly 305 includes an extrusion block 306 and an extrusion airbag assembly 307. The extrusion block 306 is arranged on the vibration plate 302, and the extrusion airbag assembly 307 is connected to the vibration plate 302. By inflating and deflating the extrusion airbag assembly 307, the large-particle stone crushing part 3 can be driven to expand and contract, and cooperate with the extrusion block 306 to realize reciprocating extrusion of the stone, effectively promoting the crushing of the stone.

[0077] The extrusion block 306 is a metal block with a V-shaped cross-section. The extrusion block 306 is fixed to the inner side of the vibration plate 302 through a fixing plate. In order to improve the stone crushing effect of the extrusion block 306, a plurality of rectangular metal sheets are longitudinally protruded on the surface of the extrusion block 306. These metal sheets are named cutting strips 308. When the extrusion assembly 305 reciprocates to extrude the stone, the cutting strips 308 contact the stone to promote stone crushing. In addition, in order to prevent the stone from sliding during extrusion, a plurality of rectangular bosses are laterally protruded at the other end of the extrusion block 306. These bosses are named anti-slip strips 310. Anti-slip grooves are engraved on the surface of the anti-slip strips 310. The anti-slip strips 310 can prevent the stone from sliding under force during extrusion, thereby improving the stone crushing effect.

[0078] The extrusion airbag assembly 307 is composed of a plurality of inverted "V"-shaped V-shaped airbags 309 connected to each other. The shape of the V-shaped airbag 309 is similar to that of an accordion cover. When inflated, the V-shaped airbag 309 expands along the tip of the "V" shape like a fan. A V-shaped airbag 309 is arranged between the two vibration plates 302. In this embodiment, there are four vibration plates 302 in the vibration assembly 301, and there are four V-shaped airbags 309 in the extrusion assembly 305. The vibration plates 302 and the V-shaped airbags 309 are cross-distributed, and the two side edges of the V-shaped airbag 309 are fixedly connected to the two side edges of the vibration plate 302. When the V-shaped airbag 309 is inflated and expanded, it will drive the vibration plate 302 to expand synchronously along the hinge. The large-particle stone crushing part 3 is deformed from a circular tube to a trumpet shape as a whole, which is convenient for crushing larger stones.

[0079] The connection between the V-shaped airbag 309 and the mounting ring 311 is the same as that of the vibration plate 302, and is connected by an elastic plastic sheet. In this way, there will be no leakage when the large-particle stone crushing part 3 is expanded or contracted, ensuring sealing (the elastic plastic sheet is not shown in the figure).

[0080] In order to facilitate the air supply to the extrusion airbag assembly 307 and the power supply to the vibration assembly 301, the first air guide ring 312, the second air guide ring 313 and the power supply line 314 are embedded in the outer side surface of the mounting ring 311. The first air guide ring 312 is connected to the V-shaped airbag 309 in the extrusion airbag assembly 307, the power supply line 314 is connected to the vibration plate 302, and the second air guide ring 313 is connected to the airbag in the suction head closing part 4. In addition, the first air guide ring 312, the second air guide ring 313 and the power supply line 314 pass through the functional hole 24 on the negative pressure suction tube 2 and are connected to the operating handle 1 and the main unit 7 to realize the control of the large-particle stone crushing part 3 and the suction head closing part 4.

[0081] like Figure 9 and 10As shown, the closing part 4 of the suction head includes a closing airbag component 41 and an opening airbag component 42. The closing airbag component 41 and the opening airbag component 42 are each composed of 4 V-shaped airbags 309, and the whole is in a circular tubular shape. The inner diameter and outer diameter of the closing part 4 of the suction head are the same as those of the large-particle stone crushing part 3, and the closing airbag component 41 and the opening airbag component 42 are cross-distributed and connected to each other.

[0082] The main function of the closing airbag component 41 is to close the open end when it is contracted, and the main function of the opening airbag component 42 is to expand and cooperate with the large-particle stone crushing part 3 when it is inflated to crush the stones.

[0083] The V-shaped airbag 309 in the expanded airbag assembly 42 is distributed in an inverted "V" shape, and is connected to and communicated with the V-shaped airbag 309 in the squeezed airbag assembly 307. In this way, when the squeezed airbag assembly 307 is inflated, the expanded airbag assembly 42 is also inflated synchronously, and when the squeezed airbag assembly 307 is expanded, the expanded airbag assembly 42 is also expanded.

[0084] The V-shaped airbag 309 in the closed airbag assembly 41 is distributed in a "V" shape. The V-shaped airbag 309 in the closed airbag assembly 41 is fixedly connected to the side of the V-shaped airbag 309 of the open airbag assembly 42. When the expanded end of the open airbag assembly 42 is expanded, the corresponding closed airbag assembly 41 is expanded accordingly. Similarly, when the closed end of the closed airbag assembly 41 is closed, the corresponding open airbag assembly 42 is closed to prevent the crushed stones from splashing.

[0085] In order to facilitate the insertion of the negative pressure suction tube 2, a protective tube 304 is sheathed on the outside of the large-particle stone crushing part 3 and the suction head closing part 4. The protective tube 304 is made of a flexible material, such as silicone or rubber. The protective tube 304 can ensure the smoothness of the surface of the large-particle stone crushing part 3 and the suction head closing part 4, which is convenient for the insertion of the negative pressure suction tube 2. When the openings of the large-particle stone crushing part 3 and the suction head closing part 4 are expanded, the protective tube 304 can also be expanded accordingly, ensuring the normal use of the large-particle stone crushing part 3 and the suction head closing part 4.

[0086] like Figure 11 、 12 As shown in Figure 13, the stone ejection part 5 includes a mounting box 501, a push piece 505 and a push rod 509. The mounting box 501 is mounted in the stone ejection part mounting groove 23 in the suction head 21. The push piece 505 is hinged on the push rod 509. The push rod 509 is movably inserted in the mounting box 501 and is connected to the stone ejection part control component 112 in the operating handle 1. The stone ejection part control component 112 can control the push rod 509 to move up and down in the mounting box 501 to push stones that cannot be crushed out of the negative pressure suction tube 2.

[0087] The mounting box 501 is a plastic box with a rectangular cross-section. In order to ensure the flatness of the inner wall of the suction head 21 and prevent it from getting stuck in the stones, the surface of the mounting box 501 is arc-shaped, that is, after the mounting box 501 is installed in the mounting groove 23 of the stone ejection part, the surface of the mounting box 501 is flush with the inner side surface of the suction head 21.

[0088] In order to facilitate the installation of the push rod 509, a rectangular groove is provided on the end face of the installation box 501, perpendicular to the installation box 501 and along the extension direction of the installation box 501. This groove is named the push rod slide groove 502, and the push rod 509 is inserted into the push rod slide groove 502.

[0089] The push piece 505 is a plastic piece with a rectangular cross-section. A rectangular connecting rod 506 protrudes from one side of the push piece 505. There is a hinge seat on the connecting rod 506. The push piece 505 is hinged to the push rod 509 through the hinge seat. When the push rod 509 is stored in the installation box 501 and not pushed out, the push piece 505 does not unfold. The surface of the push piece 505 is flush with the inner side surface of the suction head 21, ensuring the flatness of the inner wall of the suction head 21 to prevent stones from being stuck.

[0090] In order to facilitate the installation of the push piece 505 , a rectangular hinge port 510 is concave inwardly at the end of the push rod 509 perpendicular to the end surface, and the push piece 505 is hinged in the hinge port 510 .

[0091] In order to facilitate the control of the extension and retraction of the push rod 509 by the pull rope 504, a second pulley 503 is installed at the open end of the installation box 501 using the installation shaft. The pull rope 504 passes around the pulley and is connected to one end of the push rod 509 deep installation box 501. When the pull rope 504 is pulled, it can drive the push rod 509 to move upward along the connecting rod 506, pushing out the larger and uncrushable stones stuck in the suction head 21. In order to prevent the pull rope 504 from falling off the second pulley 503, the second pulley 503 preferably adopts an existing anti-slip pulley.

[0092] In order to improve the pushing effect, a spring connecting piece 512 is fixed on the connecting rod 506 of the push piece 505. The spring connecting piece 512 is a rectangular plastic piece with a round hole. At the same time, a spring connecting piece 512 is also provided at the bottom of the push rod slide groove 502. The tension spring 511 connects the two spring connecting pieces 512. In this way, when extended, the push piece 505 rotates along the hinge under the action of the tension spring 511 and unfolds, making it convenient to push the stone to move.

[0093] In order to facilitate the resetting of the push rod 509, a spring connecting piece 512 is fixed to each of the two ends of the push rod 509 near the open end. At the same time, a spring connecting piece 512 is also fixed to the corresponding position at the bottom of the installation box 501. The second return spring 507 and the third return spring 508 are respectively hung on the spring connecting pieces 512, connecting the push rod 509 and the installation box 501. When the push rod 509 moves, the second return spring 507 and the third return spring 508 are stretched by the force. When the pull rope 504 is released, the push rod 509 is reset under the action of the second return spring 507 and the third return spring 508.

[0094] In order to avoid position interference, the stone pushing part 5 is tilted in the suction head 21, and the front end of the push rod 509 is closer to the center of the suction head 21. This can avoid position interference between the push rod 509 and the large-particle stone crushing part 3 and the suction head closing part 4 when the push rod 509 is extended.

[0095] like Figure 1 、 14 As shown in Figures 15 and 16, the extension part 6 includes an inner sleeve 61 and an air bag 62. The inner sleeve 61 is a plastic tube with a circular cross-section. The main function of the inner sleeve 61 is to provide a stable running channel for the negative pressure suction tube. The inner diameter of the inner sleeve 61 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the negative pressure suction tube 2.

[0096] The airbag 62 is an existing inflatable airbag. The airbag 62 is sleeved on the outside of the inner sleeve 61, and the two will not undergo relative displacement. Regarding the inflation and deflation of the airbag 62, this embodiment preferably uses an air supply tube 64 with a balloon to connect to the airbag 62, and inflates and deflates the airbag 62 through the balloon to achieve expansion of the airbag 62.

[0097] When the negative pressure suction tube 2 is inserted, in order to prevent the expansion part 6 from falling off, a V-shaped limiting cavity 63 is provided in the inner sleeve 61 perpendicular to the inner wall. When the large-particle stone crushing part 3 and the suction head closing part 4 are slightly inflated by squeezing the airbag angle adjustment control button 110, the large-particle stone crushing part 3 and the suction head closing part 4 will expand at the two joints to become a round tube with a large diameter in the middle and small diameters at both ends. In this way, it can cooperate with the V-shaped limiting cavity 63 to stably cover the expansion part 6 on the outside of the negative pressure suction tube 2, facilitating the insertion of the negative pressure suction tube, and after passing through the urethra, the airbag 62 is inflated to expand the urethra. At this time, the large-particle stone crushing part 3 and the suction head closing part 4 are deflated to release the limiting cooperation with the V-shaped limiting cavity 63. At this time, the negative pressure suction tube 2 can move freely in the inner sleeve 61 without causing damage to the urethra, thereby improving the patient's comfort.

[0098] The usage process of this embodiment is as follows: when in use, first stably put the expansion part 6 on the outside of the negative pressure suction tube 2, then insert the negative pressure suction tube 2, and then use the expansion part 6 to expand to create a channel for the movement of the negative pressure suction tube 2. Then, the stones that have been broken by the laser can be found under the guidance of the endoscope. Smaller stones can be directly sucked out, and the size of the negative pressure can be adjusted by the negative pressure adjustment slider 107 to facilitate the removal of stones. When encountering stones larger than the inner diameter of the negative pressure suction tube 2, press the crushing control button 111 to control the large-particle stone crushing part 3 to work, and vibrate and circulate the extrusion to crush the larger stones to facilitate the removal of the stones. When encountering harder stones that cannot be crushed, pull the control trigger 113 to drive the push rod 509 to move and push the stones out of the suction head 21 without affecting the continued suction of the remaining stones. It is easy to use.

[0099] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical idea of ​​the present invention and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any changes made on the basis of the technical solution in accordance with the technical idea proposed by the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
