Detailed implementation mode
[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention. In conjunction with the following embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 : Embodiment 1: This embodiment provides a bronchoscope adapter tube with a unique structure and comprehensive functions, which can well meet the needs of clinical use.
[0020] The bronchoscope adapter tube mainly includes a telescopic pipe 3, an adapter pipe 4 and an inspection tube 7. Among them, the adapter pipe 4 and the inspection tube 7 are connected through a detachable structure. This design enables the adapter tube to be disassembled and assembled as needed during use, improving the flexibility of use. At the same time, the adapter pipe 4 is connected to the bronchoscope through the connector 1 and the connecting pipe fitting 2, ensuring a stable connection between the adapter tube and the bronchoscope.
[0021] One end of the telescopic pipe 3 is movably connected to one end of the connecting pipe fitting 2 by interference fit. This connection method not only ensures the tightness of the connection, but also enables the telescopic pipe 3 to be telescopically adjusted within a certain range to meet the needs of different surgical scenarios. The telescopic pipe 3 and the adapter pipe 4 are integrally formed, enhancing the structural strength of the entire adapter tube. The adapter pipe 4 is located at one end of the telescopic pipe 3 away from the connecting pipe fitting 2. Such a layout makes the overall structure of the adapter tube more reasonable and convenient for operation.
[0022] The detachable structure includes a fixed seat 5 and an adapter joint 6. One end of the adapter joint 6 is detachably and cooperatively connected to the fixed seat 5, and the other end is in interference fit with the inspection tube 7. This design enables the inspection tube 7 to be easily replaced or cleaned, improving the hygiene and service life of the adapter tube. At the same time, one end of the fixed seat 5 away from the adapter joint 6 is fixedly installed on the adapter pipe 4, ensuring the stability of the entire adapter tube.
[0023] The design of the connecting pipe fitting 2 also fully considers the convenience of use. It includes a connecting pipe body 21 and an internal threaded pipe body 22. The connecting head 1 is threadedly engaged with the internal threaded pipe body 22, making the connection process simpler and faster. An auxiliary assembly for movably engaging with the telescopic pipe 3 is also installed inside the connecting pipe body 21. These auxiliary assemblies include a ventilation channel 23, a connecting shaft surface 24, a connecting rod member 25, etc. They work together to ensure the smooth flow of gas and the stable operation of the connecting pipe.
[0024] Generally speaking, the bronchoscope connecting pipe structure of this embodiment is reasonably designed and has comprehensive functions. It can meet various clinical needs and has high practical value and market prospects.
[0025] Embodiment Two: In this embodiment, the bronchoscope connecting pipe of the previous embodiment is further optimized and improved to enhance its performance and stability in use.
[0026] First of all, in the design of the telescopic pipe 3, we adopt more advanced materials and technologies, enabling the telescopic range of the telescopic pipe 3 to be larger and the adjustment to be more flexible. At the same time, we also perform special treatment on the surface of the telescopic pipe 3 to improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance, thereby extending the service life of the connecting pipe.
[0027] Secondly, in the design of the detachable structure, we add more fixing and locking mechanisms, making the connection between the fixed seat 5 and the adapter joint 6 more stable and reliable, not easily loosening or falling off. In this way, even under a large external force during the operation, the connecting pipe can maintain a stable working state.
[0028] In addition, we also improve the connecting pipe fitting 2. We optimize the thread design of the internal threaded pipe body 22, making the connection between the connecting head 1 and the internal threaded pipe body 22 more tight and reliable. At the same time, we also increase the strength and stiffness of the connecting pipe body 21 to improve its pressure-bearing capacity.
[0029] Finally, in the design of the viewing pipe 7, we adopt high-definition materials and processes, enabling doctors to observe the situation of the surgical site more clearly and improving the accuracy and safety of the operation.
[0030] To sum up, the bronchoscope connecting pipe of this embodiment has been comprehensively optimized and improved in terms of structure and function, further enhancing its performance and stability in use. It is believed that this new type of bronchoscope connecting pipe will play a more important role in future clinical applications.
