Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of medical device technology, and specifically relates to an electro-pneumatic portable wound irrigation device. Background Art

[0002] Irrigation of surgical wounds, especially those caused by animals, is crucial for reducing the risk of infection, including infections caused by pathogens such as tetanus and rabies. Wound irrigation devices are medical tools specifically designed to clean and disinfect wounds, especially those caused by animal bites or scratches. Research has shown that specialized irrigation devices perform exceptionally well in trauma treatment and care. Compared to traditional saline or soap irrigation, they can block pathogenic microbial infection pathways in the early stages of wound care, cleanse the affected area, significantly reduce the risk of rabies, alleviate patient pain, and effectively promote wound healing. This method can alleviate the fear of later dressing changes and reduce pain, especially in children.

[0003] Correct irrigation techniques play a crucial role in reducing the risk of infection in animal-inflicted wounds. Factors such as irrigation pressure, type of irrigation fluid, direction of irrigation flow, and duration (and amount of fluid used) all influence wound irrigation effectiveness. Currently, there is a type of wound irrigation device on the market for animal-inflicted wounds that uses high-pressure water technology to clean wounds and remove bacteria and dirt.

[0004] However, existing wound irrigation equipment of this type is not only complicated to operate and occupies a large area, but also requires a special environment and is equipped with water supply and drainage, resulting in a large amount of water consumption. This requires that it be used in specific places such as hospitals and cannot be moved to other places for use. The wound is often not rinsed and treated in the first place, delaying the flushing opportunity; moreover, the nozzles of existing wound irrigation equipment are reused and cannot reach the sterilization level, posing a risk of cross infection, and the drying of the disinfectant solute and scale can easily cause nozzle clogging.

[0047] Example 1

[0048] A specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, an electro-pneumatic portable wound irrigation device is disclosed, comprising:

[0049] The body 100 has a handle 1 and an extension portion 19 provided at the top of the handle 1, wherein the extension portion 19 extends in the direction of spraying the flushing liquid;

[0050] The atomizing flushing assembly 200 is detachably mounted on the front end of the extension portion 19; the atomizing flushing assembly 200 comprises an atomizing nozzle 15 and a flushing liquid tank 13 of an integrated structure, wherein the flushing liquid tank 13 is pre-filled with flushing liquid, and the atomizing nozzle 15 is in communication with the flushing liquid tank 13;

[0051] The air source assembly 300, serving as the main power source for the spray, is provided on the handle 1 and is configured to supply a high-speed airflow to the atomizing nozzle 15, so that the aerosol pressure generated by the atomizing nozzle 15 is at least 5PSI; the air source assembly 300 has an air circuit 31 and a power supply, the air inlet of the air circuit 31 is located on the outer shell of the handle 1, and the air outlet of the air circuit 31 is located on the front end surface of the extension portion 19 and can be connected to the air inlet end of the atomizing nozzle 15; the power supply is configured to provide the electrical energy required to generate the high-speed airflow.

[0052] It should be noted that the high-speed airflow in this embodiment has the pressure and flow rate required for the atomizing nozzle 15 to generate aerosol, and the aerosol pressure that can be finally generated is at least 5 PSI.

[0053] In this embodiment, the atomizing flushing assembly 200 is composed of an atomizing nozzle and a flushing liquid tank 13, and is a disposable consumable part. The atomizing flushing assembly 200 is detachably connected to the extension portion 19 of the fuselage 100, which facilitates the rapid replacement of the atomizing flushing assembly 200. Various forms of detachable connection structures can be used, such as snap-fit, screw-fit, plug-in, etc., as long as the sealing of the connection pipe can be ensured after connection. Optionally, the atomizing flushing assembly 200 is connected to the extension portion 19 by a snap-fit ​​locking structure, which can achieve rapid disassembly and assembly of the atomizing flushing assembly 200.

[0054] Furthermore, the electric-pneumatic portable wound irrigation device further includes an air circuit connection mechanism 12, which is disposed at the front end of the extension portion 19 and is configured to connect the air outlet of the air circuit 31 to the air inlet of the atomizing nozzle 15 after the atomizing irrigation assembly 200 is assembled with the extension portion 19. Exemplarily, the air circuit connection mechanism includes a rotary locking structure and a spring button. The rotary locking structure has a locked state and a free state. The spring button is used to switch the rotary locking structure between the locked state and the free state, thereby achieving rapid assembly and disassembly. When the atomizing flushing assembly 200 needs to be removed, press the spring button to release the locking state of the rotary locking structure, so that the rotary locking structure changes to a free state, and the atomizing flushing assembly 200 can be removed by twisting it; when installing a new atomizing flushing assembly 200, align it with the front end of the extension part of the fuselage 100, and twist the atomizing flushing assembly 200 in the opposite direction to directly complete the installation of the atomizing flushing assembly 200 and the extension part of the fuselage 100. At this time, the spring button is reset, so that the rotary locking structure is in a locked state.

[0055] In this embodiment, the atomizing nozzle 15 is horizontally arranged below the flushing liquid chamber 13 , and the air inlet end of the atomizing nozzle 15 is connected to the air outlet of the air path 31 through a horizontally arranged air passage 29 .

[0056] In this embodiment, the atomizing nozzle 15 is a two-stage atomizing nozzle, which uses two atomization steps to enhance the atomization effect. Specifically, along the flow direction of the fluid, the atomizing nozzle 15 includes a primary atomizing section 20 and a secondary atomizing section 21 that are arranged in series. The primary atomizing section 20 is connected to the flushing liquid tank 13 through a liquid supply channel 30. The primary atomizing section 20 uses a siphon effect and a capillary effect to fully mix the flushing liquid droplets with the high-speed gas in the first atomizing chamber of the primary atomizing section 20. The diameter of the aerosol after the primary atomization is approximately 100 microns. The aerosol after the primary atomization enters the second atomizing chamber of the secondary atomizing section 21. The secondary atomizing section 21 uses the Venturi principle to perform a secondary atomization on the aerosol after the primary atomization. The diameter of the aerosol after the secondary atomization is 10-30 microns.

[0057] Further, see Figures 3 and 4 Along the flow direction of the fluid, the secondary atomization section 21 includes a contraction section 22, a throat vortex section 23 and an expansion section 24 arranged in sequence. The inner cavity of the contraction section 22 is arranged to shrink along the flow direction of the fluid, and the inner cavity of the expansion section 24 is arranged to expand along the flow direction of the fluid. The inner wall of the throat vortex section 23 is provided with at least one protrusion 25, which divides the second atomization chamber of the throat vortex section 23 into multiple interconnected monomer cavities. The function of the monomer cavity is to allow the droplets to fully collide for a second time after the vortex is generated, and to produce finer droplets under the drive of the high-speed airflow.

[0058] Among them, the side of the protrusion 25 facing the direction of the fluid is an arc-shaped surface, and the arc-shaped surface can guide the fluid in the single cavity along the arc-shaped surface into the next monomer cavity in the form of a reduced diameter. In other words, the second atomization chamber includes a plurality of monomer cavities, and each monomer cavity includes a regular cylindrical surface and a reduced diameter arc-shaped surface. By arranging a protrusion 25 with an arc-shaped surface in the throat vortex section 23, the high-speed aerosol forms a vortex in the throat vortex section 23, and the collision between the droplets further refines the droplets, completing the secondary atomization. By setting the throat vortex section 23 as a plurality of monomer structures, the stability of the end aerosol particle size distribution can be better guaranteed.

[0059] The multiple monomer cavities are coaxially arranged along the direction of the fluid flow and are connected in sequence. The inlet of the monomer cavity at the head end is the outlet of the contraction section 22, the outlet of the monomer cavity at the tail end is the inlet of the expansion section 24, and the inlet of the adjacent downstream monomer cavity is the outlet of the adjacent upstream monomer cavity. In addition, along the fluid flow direction, the inlet sizes of the multiple monomer cavities increase in sequence. For example, see Figure 4 The second atomization chamber includes three coaxial and sequentially connected single cavities. The first single cavity has a first inlet and a first outlet, the second single cavity 27 has a second inlet and a second outlet, and the third single cavity 28 has a third inlet and a third outlet. The first inlet is the outlet of the contraction section 22, the first outlet is the second inlet, the second outlet is the third inlet, and the third outlet is the entrance of the expansion section 24. The diameter of the first inlet is R1, the diameter of the second inlet is R2, and the diameter of the third inlet is R3, where R1 < R2 < R3. Furthermore, R1, R2, and R3 increase by 10%-12% in sequence. Furthermore, the inlet diameter of the expansion section 24 is R4, where R3 ≤ R4 ≤ 1.05R3. The aerosol nozzle with the above structure can achieve a droplet diameter distribution between 10-30 microns at the outlet of the expansion section 24, an aerosol pressure between 5-18 PSI, and a better atomization effect, thereby enhancing the flushing effect on the wound.

[0060] Furthermore, the atomizing nozzle is made of metal. Due to the friction between the high-speed airflow and the metal nozzle, the terminal aerosol is charged with static electricity, ensuring that the droplets do not collide or combine with each other during flight. At the same time, it can bypass complex wound surfaces and ultimately adhere to the wound surface through electrostatic attraction, fully infiltrating every corner of the wound and improving the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the handle 1 is grounded to prevent static electricity accumulation caused by the high-speed airflow.

[0061] Existing flushing equipment uses a hard-shell flushing tank that requires air backfill, otherwise continuous liquid supply will be impossible. However, air backfilling poses the risk of secondary contamination. Therefore, in this embodiment, the body of the flushing tank 13 is made of a flexible material, and the capacity of the flushing tank 13 can be set according to actual needs. Optionally, the capacity of the flushing tank 13 is 150-300 ml. During the liquid supply process, as the flushing liquid in the tank decreases, the tank body can adaptively deform, thereby achieving continuous liquid supply without connecting to the outside atmosphere, eliminating the need for air backfill and preventing secondary contamination.

[0062] In one optional embodiment, the flushing liquid chamber 13 also has a constant temperature function, and the flushing liquid in the flushing liquid chamber 13 can be kept at a constant temperature. Exemplarily, the atomizing flushing assembly 200 is further provided with a heating element, which is configured to heat the flushing liquid in the flushing liquid chamber 13, and the heating element is powered by the power supply.

[0063] In one optional embodiment, the front end of the extension portion 19 and the rear end of the atomizing flushing assembly 200 are both provided with power contacts 14 arranged in pairs; when the extension portion 19 and the atomizing flushing assembly 200 are installed in place, the power contacts 14 connect the power supply circuit.

[0064] In this embodiment, a filter 3 is provided at the air inlet of the air path 31, and the filter 3 is detachably mounted on the housing of the handle 1. Optionally, the filter 3 employs a nano-filament structure formed by electrospinning technology, with a polyester matrix material and a Mof piezoelectric material Fe-Co-Ni. When air passes through, the filter 3 releases reactive oxygen species (ROS). This increases the contact area, reduces wind resistance, and improves filtration efficiency. Furthermore, the ROS can effectively kill microorganisms in the incoming air, thereby extending the filter's service life.

[0065] In this embodiment, the power supply is powered by a power cord; alternatively, the power supply is powered by a battery 4. Preferably, the battery 4 is powered by a battery, for example, the battery 4 is a lithium battery, and the lithium battery is detachably installed in the handle 1.

[0066] In this embodiment, the electric-pneumatic portable wound irrigation device features pressure, temperature, and flow rate regulation, making it suitable for cleaning a variety of wounds. It also includes a display that displays real-time parameters such as power level, flow rate, air pressure, and temperature. Specifically, the air circuit 31 is equipped with a micro-compressor 2 and a constant pressure controller 18. The micro-compressor 2 is configured to compress the air entering the air circuit 31 to provide high-pressure gas; the constant pressure controller 18 is configured to regulate the pressure and flow rate of the gas within the air circuit 31 within a stable range. The handle 1 is equipped with a temperature adjustment knob 11, a pressure adjustment knob 10, and an LCD display 9.

[0067] In this embodiment, the air source assembly 300 serves as the primary power source for the spray, providing compressed air or other stable, pressurized gas, including compressed air, compressed nitrogen, oxygen, etc. Specifically, the housing of the handle 1 may also be provided with a transfer tube, which serves as an interface for connecting to the gas source or directly serves as an air inlet. For example, one end of the transfer tube communicates with the air inlet of the air circuit 31, while the other end of the transfer tube is detachable for connection to a nitrogen or oxygen source.

[0068] In this embodiment, the body 100 is further provided with a main control circuit board 8 and a power control board 17. The main control circuit board 8 is configured to control the operation of the electro-pneumatic portable wound irrigation device. The power control board 17 is configured to monitor the power input voltage and current to achieve stable regulation of the power output voltage and current.

[0069] In this embodiment, the handle 1 is further provided with a trigger switch 6, and the trigger switch 6 is further equipped with a switch relay 5 and a trigger lock 7. The trigger lock 7 serves as a switch safety device to prevent accidental touch.

[0070] In this embodiment, a lighting lamp 16 is provided at the top of the front end of the extension portion 19. The light emission direction of the lighting lamp 16 is the same as the spray direction of the atomizing nozzle 15, which facilitates observation of the spraying situation.

[0071] In one optional embodiment, the housing of the body 100 and the shell of the atomizing flushing component 200 are both made of plastic with an antibacterial coating function to ensure safety in a medical environment.

The portable and easy-to-operate structural design of this application can save medical staff time, allowing them to handle more emergency situations within the same working hours, thereby improving the efficiency of overall medical services and potentially reducing labor costs.

[0074] 2. By integrating the atomizing nozzle and the flushing liquid tank into an integrated atomizing flushing component, and adopting a detachable connection method between the atomizing flushing component and the fuselage, it is convenient to replace the atomizing flushing component and avoid the risk of cross contamination. Moreover, it can prevent the disinfectant solute from drying and scale from easily causing the nozzle to be blocked.
