Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laparoscopic surgery, in particular to an automatic wiper for a laparoscopic lens. Background Art

[0002] Laparoscopic surgery is a newly developed minimally invasive method and an inevitable trend in the development of surgical methods in the future. With the rapid development of industrial manufacturing technology, the integration of related disciplines has laid a solid foundation for the development of new technologies and methods. Coupled with the increasingly skilled operation of doctors, many open surgeries in the past have now been replaced by endoscopic surgeries, greatly increasing the opportunities for surgical options.

[0003] However, when the laparoscope is in use, since the lens needs to be inserted into the patient's body, the lens surface will be stained with blood, causing the lens to be blurred, and the surgical field of view during the operation is unclear. At this time, the laparoscope needs to be taken out and wiped, and then inserted into the patient's body again after wiping is completed. However, the surgical operation must be paused during the wiping, and the operation can only be started again after the laparoscope is wiped clean and put back into the body. Due to the temperature difference between the outside and inside of the body, although the laparoscope is wiped clean outside the body, the surface of the lens will be fogged due to the temperature difference when it is put back into the body. It is often necessary to take it out and wipe it repeatedly outside the body, which undoubtedly delays the operation time. During the operation, the patient's body tissue will also hinder the lens. At the same time, the blood and body fluids in the patient's body can easily seep out from the surgical incision and cause contamination. Summary of the invention

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an automatic wiper for a laparoscope lens, comprising a laparoscope rod, a lens connected to the left end surface of the laparoscope rod, and a connecting ring sleeved on the outer surface of the lens, the outer surface of the laparoscope rod is sleeved with a baffle plate, the end surface of the baffle plate close to the laparoscope rod is bonded and connected with a medical sponge, the upper and lower ends of the interior of the baffle plate are penetrated by catheters, the right end of the catheter is provided with a water injection port, the left end of the catheter is connected to a water bag, the water bag is wrapped around the outer surface of the connecting ring, and the left end surface of the connecting ring is provided with a A first recess, the inner wall of the first recess is evenly distributed with serrated protrusions, a tooth block is arranged inside the first recess, the tooth block is meshed and connected with the inner wall of the first recess, the left end surface of the tooth block is connected with a micro motor, the outer surface of the micro motor is connected with a connecting block, the left end surface of the connecting block is connected with a connecting plate with an L-shaped structure in the longitudinal section, a brush that fits with the left end surface of the lens is arranged at the bottom of the connecting plate, the right end surface of the blocking plate is connected with an electric telescopic rod, and the right end of the electric telescopic rod is connected with a fixing ring sleeved on the outer surface of the laparoscope rod.

[0006] Preferably, an inner cavity is provided in the middle of the connecting ring, and the diameter of the inner cavity is the same as the diameter of the lens.

[0007] Preferably, a spring is symmetrically connected to the right end surface of the connecting ring front and back, and the right end of the spring is connected to the blocking plate.

[0008] Preferably, the longitudinal section of the first recess is annular in structure, a second recess opened on the connecting ring is provided inside the first recess, a limiting block is engaged inside the second recess, and the left end of the limiting block is connected to the tooth block.

[0009] Preferably, a groove structure is provided on the top of the connecting plate, a battery box is inserted into the interior of the groove structure, a threaded structure is provided on the outer surface of the battery box, and the right end of the battery box is connected to the connecting block.

[0011] Preferably, the left end surface of the mounting plate is connected to a first magnet, the left end surface of the first magnet is connected to a first iron sheet connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate, a second plug rod is inserted through the top of the mounting plate, the right end surface of the second plug rod is connected to a lever protruding from the outside of the mounting plate, the top end of the second plug rod is connected to a second magnet, and the top end of the second magnet is connected to a second iron sheet connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate.

[0012] Preferably, a battery compartment is provided on the right end surface of the fixing ring, fixing bolts are inserted through the upper and lower ends of the fixing ring, and the inner ends of the fixing bolts penetrate the interior of the laparoscope rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The automatic wiper of the laparoscope lens is provided with a baffle plate, on which a medical sponge is connected. When performing an operation, the baffle plate is pushed on the laparoscope rod by an electric telescopic rod, so that the medical sponge seals the incision on the patient's body used for the operation, thereby avoiding contamination caused by leakage of blood and body fluids in the patient's body.

[0015] 2. The automatic wiper of the laparoscope lens is provided with a spring, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the connecting ring and the blocking plate. In this way, when the blocking plate moves, the elastic force of the spring hinders the blocking plate, so that the blocking plate can move slowly, so that the blocking plate will not move a large distance at one time, avoiding damage to the incision.

[0016] 3. The automatic wiper of the laparoscope lens is provided with a catheter and a water bag. The catheter is filled with water through the water inlet. The water enters the water bag through the catheter. The water bag expands at this time and can stretch the tissue inside the patient's body, thereby avoiding obstruction of the lens to widen its field of view and ensure that the patient's body can be explored without obstruction during surgery.

[0017] 4. The automatic wiper of the laparoscope lens is provided with a brush which is mounted on a connecting plate which is connected to a tooth block. When the tooth block is controlled to rotate by a micro motor, it will make a circular motion on the connecting ring. At this time, the connecting plate will also make a circular motion synchronously through the rotation of the tooth block. Thus, the brush rotates to clean the surface of the lens to remove pollutants or water mist attached to the surface of the lens, thereby ensuring that the field of view will not be blocked during surgery.

[0018] 5. The automatic wiper of the laparoscopic lens, by setting the above series of structures, allows the lens to be cleaned without removing the patient during laparoscopic surgery, and can prevent the patient's body tissue from blocking the lens's field of view, while also preventing the patient's blood and body fluids from seeping out from the incision.

[0030] like Figure 1-5As shown, the automatic wiper for the laparoscope lens of this embodiment comprises a laparoscope rod 1, a lens 2 connected to the left end surface of the laparoscope rod 1 and a connecting ring 3 sleeved on the outer surface of the lens 2. The outer surface of the laparoscope rod 1 is sleeved with a blocking plate 6, and the blocking plate 6 can slide freely on the laparoscope rod 1. A medical sponge 7 is bonded and connected to the surface of one end of the blocking plate 6 close to the laparoscope rod 1. The blocking plate 6 contacts the skin at the abdominal incision of the patient, thereby blocking it, and preventing the body fluid and blood from seeping out of the human body through the medical sponge 7. The upper and lower ends of the interior of the blocking plate 6 are penetrated by a catheter 8, and the catheter 8 is a telescopic hose structure. A water injection port 9 is provided at the right end of the catheter 8, and water can be injected into the catheter 8 by connecting an external pipeline through the water injection port 9. A water bag 10 is connected to the left end of the catheter 8. Water enters the water bag 10 through the catheter 8, thereby expanding the water bag 10 to expand the internal tissue of the human body so that the lens 2 can better perform video inspection. The water bag 10 is wrapped on the outer surface of the connecting ring 3. A first recess 11 is provided on the left end surface of the connecting ring 3. The inner wall of the first recess 11 is evenly distributed with serrated protrusions. A tooth block 14 is provided inside the first recess 11. The tooth block 14 is completely recessed inside the first recess 11. The tooth block 14 is completely recessed inside the first recess 11. The block 14 is meshed and connected with the inner wall of the first recess 11, so that the tooth block 14 can perform a circular motion on the connecting ring 3 when rotating. The left end surface of the tooth block 14 is connected with a micro motor 15, and the model of the micro motor 15 is Y90S-2, which controls the tooth block 14 to rotate. The outer surface of the micro motor 15 is connected with a connecting block 16, and the connecting block 16 allows the micro motor 15 to be stably installed.

The right end surface of the blocking plate 6 is connected to an electric telescopic rod 27, and the electric telescopic rod 27 can control the blocking plate 6 to move on the laparoscope rod 1 by telescoping. The right end of the electric telescopic rod 27 is connected to a fixing ring 28 sleeved on the outer surface of the laparoscope rod 1. The fixing ring 28 is firmly connected to the laparoscope rod 1, so that the structures such as the connecting ring 3 and the blocking plate 6 can be stably installed on the laparoscope rod 1.

[0031] Specifically, an inner cavity 4 is opened in the middle of the connecting ring 3 , and the diameter of the inner cavity 4 is the same as the diameter of the lens 2 , so that the lens 2 can pass through the connecting ring 3 to perform video inspection on the inside of the human body.

[0032] Furthermore, a spring 5 is symmetrically connected to the front and rear surface of the right end of the connecting ring 3, and the right end of the spring 5 is connected to the blocking plate 6. Due to the elasticity of the spring 5 itself, the electric telescopic rod 27 can move the blocking plate 6 slowly when pushing it to move, and there will be no damage to the patient's surgical incision caused by moving a large distance at one time.

[0033] Furthermore, the longitudinal section of the first recess 11 is annular in structure, and a second recess 12 opened on the connecting ring 3 is provided inside the first recess 11, and a limit block 13 is engaged inside the second recess 12, and the left end of the limit block 13 is connected to the tooth block 14. The limit block 13 is engaged with the second recess 12, so that the tooth block 14 will not fall off from the inside of the first recess 11.

[0034] Furthermore, a groove structure is provided on the top of the connecting plate 18, and a battery box 17 is inserted into the interior of the groove structure.

[0035] Furthermore, a mounting plate 19 is connected to the left end surface of the brush 20 , and the mounting plate 19 is engaged in the interior of the connecting plate 18 , so that the brush 20 is stably mounted on the connecting plate 18 through the mounting plate 19 .

[0036] Furthermore, a first magnet 21 is connected to the left end surface of the mounting plate 19, a first iron sheet 22 connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 18 is connected to the left end surface of the first magnet 21, a second plug rod 23 is inserted through the top of the mounting plate 19, a lever 24 protruding from the outside of the mounting plate 19 is connected to the right end surface of the second plug rod 23, a second magnet 25 is connected to the top end of the second magnet 25, a second iron sheet 26 connected to the inner wall of the connecting plate 18 is connected to maintain a stable connection between the connecting plate 18 and the mounting plate 19, and it is also convenient to disassemble the brush 20 for cleaning or replacement.

[0037] The method of using this embodiment is as follows: the medical staff connects the mounting plate 19 with the connecting plate 18, at which time the first magnet 21 is attracted to the first iron sheet 22, and then the lever 24 is moved to slide so that the second plug rod 23 slides out, at which time the second magnet 25 is attracted to and connected to the second iron sheet 26, so that the brush 20 is stably installed, and then the gas is injected into the patient's body through the injection tool to make the internal and external air pressures the same, and then the lens 2 is inserted into the body through the incision of the patient's body for inspection, at which time the medical sponge 7 seals the incision through the sliding of the blocking plate 6 to prevent the patient's body fluids and blood from seeping out, if the body tissue is blocked during the inspection, water can be injected into the water bag 10 through the catheter 8 to expand it and stretch the patient's body tissue to facilitate the inspection, if the surface of the lens 2 is contaminated, the button installed at the right end of the laparoscope rod 1 and connected to the micro motor 15 wire can be pressed to make the micro motor 15 drive the tooth block 14 to rotate, and at this time the mounting plate 19 will drive the brush 20 to make a circular motion, thereby removing the pollutants on the surface of the lens 2.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] The structure of the automatic wiper for the laparoscope lens of this embodiment is basically the same as that of the automatic wiper for the laparoscope lens of embodiment 1, except that: a battery compartment 29 is provided on the right end surface of the fixing ring 28, and fixing bolts 30 are inserted at both the upper and lower ends of the fixing ring 28, and the inner end of the fixing bolt 30 passes through the inside of the laparoscope rod 1, so that the fixing ring 28 can be easily disassembled and assembled, and power can also be provided to the electric telescopic rod 27 (see Figure 6 ).
