[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, and particularly to a urinary incontinence treatment device. Background Art

[0002] Urinary incontinence, as a common pelvic floor dysfunction disease in women, seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Existing treatment methods include conservative treatment (such as pelvic floor muscle training) and invasive surgery (such as mid-urethral suspension), but the existing technology still has the following significant defects: Although some inflatable devices can apply pressure through the inflation of the airbag, the single cavity design leads to uneven pressure distribution, and the local pressure is too high, which is likely to cause vaginal mucosa damage; The inflation mode is single, and single-point and multi-point pressure application treatments cannot be achieved; When the patient urinates, the pressure needs to be manually released, and the operation is cumbersome and easy to cause urinary retention due to operation delay.

The content part of this application is not intended to identify the key features or essential features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solution.

[0004] To solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background art part, some embodiments of this application provide a urinary incontinence treatment device, including: An annular base body, with a channel passing through its center, and two automatic pressure switches are fixedly installed at both ends of the channel. The pressure switches are configured to: keep closed under normal conditions to prevent urine leakage; automatically open when the urine impact pressure ≥ 5 kPa; An inflatable bladder, fixed to the outer wall of the annular base body, and its interior is divided into several independent cavities by several equally spaced annularly distributed inflatable hoses; An inflation device, including: An inflation cylinder, with a partition inside the inflation cylinder to divide the inflation cylinder into a pneumatic chamber; Several first through holes, equally spaced and annularly distributed on the partition, corresponding to several inflatable hoses one by one; Several connecting pipes, one end of which is inserted into the inflatable hose, and the other end is inserted into the first through hole; A dynamic gas distribution component; Among them, the inflation device has two working modes: Sequential inflation mode: The pneumatic chamber injects gas into several first through holes in sequence to achieve the sequential expansion of several cavities in an annular distribution; Synchronous inflation mode: The pneumatic chamber supplies gas to all inflatable hoses simultaneously to achieve the synchronous expansion of several cavities.

[0005] Specifically, the automatic pressure switch has an umbrella-shaped silica gel valve sheet structure, including: A fixing ring, embedded in the inner wall of the channel; An elastic diaphragm, with a central thickness of 0.5 - 1 mm and the edge gradually thinning to 0.2 mm; The diaphragm produces a flipping opening degree of ≥30° under a pressure difference of 5 - 10 kPa.

[0006] Specifically, the inflation hose pipe wall is provided with a gradually changing third through-hole, with the hole diameter gradually changing from 0.5 mm at the inlet end to 1.2 mm at the end; the axial distribution density of the third through-hole is 3 - 5 per cm.

[0007] Specifically, the dynamic gas distribution assembly includes: A circular plate that moves axially and rotates along the inflation cylinder; A second through-hole; A first gear, rotating inside the inflation cylinder; A second gear, meshing with the first gear and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the micro motor; Two guide rods, arranged in parallel, with one end fixed on the circular plate and slidably cooperating with the first gear; A moving rod, rotatably connected to the circular plate and fixedly connected to a push plate, and the push plate is driven to move along the relief groove by a first electronic telescopic rod; A sealing ring, used to maintain the seal at the relief groove.

[0008] Specifically, the dynamic gas distribution assembly further includes: A piston; A pressure sensor, when the set threshold value in the air pressure chamber is reached, the piston stops moving and maintains the pressure for 3 s; A second electronic telescopic rod, fixedly installed on the inflation cylinder, and its telescopic end is fixedly connected to the piston.

[0020] The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with embodiments.

[0021] Referring to Figures 1-6 As shown, a urinary incontinence treatment device according to the present invention, a urinary incontinence treatment device, includes: An annular base 100, which is provided with a channel 110 running through its center, and two automatic pressure switches 120 are fixedly installed at both ends of the channel. The pressure switches 120 are configured to: remain closed under normal conditions to prevent urine leakage; automatically open when the urine impact pressure ≥ 5 kPa; The inflatable bladder 200 is fixed to the outer wall of the annular base 100, and its interior is divided into several independent cavities 220 by a number of equally spaced annularly distributed inflatable hoses 210; An inflation device 300, comprising: An inflation cylinder 310, with a partition 311 inside the inflation cylinder 310 dividing the inflation cylinder 310 into a pneumatic chamber 312; A number of first through holes 320, equally spaced and annularly distributed on the partition 311, corresponding one by one to a number of inflatable hoses 210; A number of connecting pipes, one end of which is inserted into the inflatable hose 210 and the other end is inserted into the first through hole 320; A dynamic gas distribution assembly 330; Among them, the inflation device has two working modes: Sequential inflation mode: The pneumatic chamber 312 injects gas into a number of first through holes 320 in sequence, realizing the sequential expansion of a number of cavities 220 in an annular distribution; Synchronous inflation mode: The pneumatic chamber 312 supplies gas to all the inflatable hoses 210 simultaneously, realizing the synchronous expansion of a number of cavities 220.

[0022] Specifically, the automatic pressure switch 120 is in the structure of an umbrella-shaped silicone valve sheet, comprising: A fixing ring 121, embedded in the inner wall of the channel 110; An elastic diaphragm 122, with a central thickness of 0.5 - 1 mm and the edge gradually thinning to 0.2 mm; The diaphragm 122 generates a flipping opening of ≥30° under a pressure difference of 5 - 10 kPa; When the patient does not urinate, it plays a good sealing role. When the patient urinates, it opens automatically under the pressure on the elastic diaphragm 122, without the need for manual control during the process, reducing the risk of daily urine leakage.

[0023] Specifically, the wall of the inflatable hose 210 is provided with a gradually changing third through hole 211, with the hole diameter gradually changing from 0.5 mm at the inlet end to 1.2 mm at the end; the axial distribution density of the third through hole 211 is 3 - 5 per cm; during the inflation process of the independent cavity 220, it can make it expand evenly, so as to apply uniform force to the vaginal wall.

[0024] Specifically, the dynamic gas distribution assembly 330 includes: A circular plate 331 that moves axially and rotates along the inflation cylinder 310; A second through hole 332; A first gear 333, rotatably located inside the inflation cylinder 310; A second gear 334, meshing with the first gear 333 and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the micro motor 335; Two guide rods 336 are arranged in parallel, with one end fixed on the circular plate 330 and slidingly engaged with the first gear 333; The moving rod 337 is rotatably connected to the circular plate 331 and fixedly connected to the push plate 338. The push plate 338 is driven by the first electronic telescopic rod 339 to move along the relief groove 340; The sealing ring 341 is used to maintain the seal at the relief groove 340.

[0025] Specifically, the dynamic gas distribution assembly 330 further includes: The piston 342; The pressure sensor 343. When the set threshold value in the air pressure chamber 312 is reached, the piston 342 stops moving and maintains the pressure for 3 s; The second electronic telescopic rod 344 is fixedly installed on the inflator 310, and its telescopic end is fixedly connected to the piston 342.

[0026] Specifically, an outer tube 350 is sleeved outside several of the connecting pipes to protect the several connecting pipes. The two ends of the outer tube are respectively fixed on the annular base 100 and the inflator 310; it plays a role in protecting the several connecting pipes and enables them to be bundled together to avoid scattering.

[0027] Specifically, the surface of the inflatable bladder 200 is provided with a pressure dispersion structure, including: The arrayed convex parts 201, with a height of 0.2 - 0.5 mm and a spacing of 1 - 2 mm; The flexible buffer layer, with a Shore hardness of 20A - 30A and a thickness of 0.5 - 1 mm; It further improves the comfort and treatment effect, and the whole is not easy to shift.

[0028] The implementation principle is: First, place the entire annular base body 100 into the patient's vagina. When starting the sequential inflation mode, through the first electronic telescopic rod 339, drive the push plate 338 to move, so that the push plate 338 pushes the moving rod 337 to move. The moving rod 337 drives the circular plate 331 to move closer to the partition plate 311. Eventually, the circular plate 331 fits against the partition plate 311. The first electronic telescopic rod 339 stops driving the push plate 338, and the circular plate 331 remains stationary. Drive the second gear 334 to rotate through the micro motor 335, so that the first gear 333 rotates. The first gear 333 drives the two guide rods 336 to rotate around the axis of the first gear 333, thereby rotating the circular plate 331. When the second through hole 332 on the circular plate 331 coincides with one of the first through holes 320, the micro motor 335 stops driving. At this time, start the second electronic telescopic rod 344 to push the piston 342 to move towards the partition plate 311, so that the air in the air pressure chamber 312 enters the corresponding inflation hose 210 through the connecting pipe at this place. The air in the inflation hose 210 enters the corresponding cavity through a plurality of third through holes 211, and presses the inner wall of the patient's vagina at this place for treatment. After maintaining the pressure for a certain period of time, the second electronic telescopic rod 344 drives the piston 342 to reset, so that the air in the cavity returns to the air pressure chamber 312 again. At this time, drive the micro motor 335 again to drive the circular plate 331 to rotate one grid. One grid is the distance between adjacent first through holes 320, that is, switch to the next first through hole 320 to coincide with the second through hole 332, and repeat the above movement of the piston 342 to inflate the next cavity, so as to be able to sequentially inflate several cavities in sequence; When starting the synchronous inflation mode, the first electronic telescopic rod 339 drives the circular plate 331 away from the partition plate 311, leaving a gap between the partition plate 311 and the circular plate 331. At this time, start the second electronic telescopic rod 344, and repeat the above driving of the piston 342 to move, so that the air in the air pressure chamber 312 enters the cavity surrounded by the partition plate 311 and the circular plate 331 through the second through hole 332. The air in this cavity enters a plurality of inflation hoses 210 through a plurality of first through holes 320 at the same time, and finally enters a plurality of independent cavities 220. After the plurality of independent cavities 220 expand, the inflatable bladder 200 as a whole is in a wavy shape, and performs multi-point pressure treatment on the vaginal wall, which can better simulate the contraction of the vaginal wall and improve the treatment effect.

[0029] The above two modes can be operated independently, or alternately, or switch to the next mode to operate for a course of treatment after operating alone for a course of treatment. The switching between the two modes is convenient and fast.

[0030] The above description is only some preferred embodiments of the present disclosure and an explanation of the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above technical features, but should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the above inventive concept. For example, the technical solutions formed by mutually replacing the above features with the technical features (but not limited to) disclosed in the embodiments of the present disclosure that have similar functions.
