[0039] See also Figures 1 to 8In an embodiment of the present invention, a reusable anal surgical dilator device includes a handle box 1, the interior of the handle box 1 is fixedly connected to a DC power supply 27, the top of the DC power supply 27 is provided with an annular negative electrode 20 and an annular positive electrode 19, the top of the handle box 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed disk 2, the top of the fixed disk 2 is fixedly connected to a connector 4, wherein the connector 4, the hardening adjustment dial 6, and the handle box 1 are all made of insulating materials, the top of the connector 4 is fixedly connected to a memory alloy strut 5, the memory alloy strut 5 is made of a superelastic and shape-memory nickel-titanium alloy, the surface of the memory alloy strut 5 is coated with a shape-memory polymer layer, the shape-memory polymer layer is made of temperature-sensitive polycaprolactone, the memory alloy strut 5 is spirally unfolded at a temperature greater than 37°C, and the diameter of the top ring of the unfolded spiral shape is smaller than the diameter of the bottom ring, the unfolded spiral memory alloy strut 5 is arranged at a right angle near the connector 4, and thus does not block the bottom of the spiral memory alloy strut 5;
[0040] Two circular grooves are provided on the side wall of the fixed disk 2, and the hardening adjustment dial 6 and the hot and cold adjustment dial 3 are rotatably connected in the two circular grooves. Two first conductive posts 7 are fixedly connected through the hot and cold adjustment dial 3, and the lower ends of the two first conductive posts 7 are movably abutted with the annular negative electrode 20 and the annular positive electrode 19 respectively. Two second conductive posts 9 are fixedly connected through the hardening adjustment dial 6, and the bottom ends of the two second conductive posts 9 are movably abutted with the annular negative electrode 20 and the annular positive electrode 19 respectively. The bottom ends of the second conductive slider 11 and the first conductive slider 12 are both provided with hemispherical protrusions, and the tops of the second conductive posts 9 and the first conductive posts 7 are provided with hemispherical grooves that match the shape of the hemispherical protrusions.
[0041] Two second mounting grooves 13 and two first mounting grooves 15 are formed on the bottom side of the connector 4. Second conductive sliders 11 are slidably connected in the two second mounting grooves 13. A second spring 14 is fixedly connected between each second conductive slider 11 and the bottom side wall of the second mounting groove 13. First conductive sliders 12 are slidably connected in the two first mounting grooves 15. A first spring 16 is fixedly connected between each first conductive slider 12 and the bottom side wall of the first mounting groove 15. The two first conductive sliders 12 are respectively movably electrically connected to the two second conductive posts 9, and the two first conductive sliders 12 are respectively movably electrically connected to the two first conductive posts 7.
[0042] Specifically, a filling cavity is defined within the memory alloy support rod 5, and a sealing layer 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the filling cavity. The sealing layer 23 is made of a flexible thermally conductive insulating material. A plurality of semiconductor hot and cold structures are embedded in the sealing layer 23 at equal intervals, and the plurality of semiconductor hot and cold structures are electrically connected to the two second conductive sliders 11. Each semiconductor hot and cold structure includes an N-type semiconductor 24 and a P-type semiconductor 26. A thermal conductive sheet 25 is fixedly connected between the two N-type semiconductors 24 and the N-type semiconductors 24. A first wire 17 is electrically connected to the plurality of N-type semiconductors 24, and another first wire 17 is electrically connected to the plurality of P-type semiconductors 26. The two first wires 17 extend into the connector 4 and are electrically connected to the two first conductive sliders 12 through the two first mounting grooves 15, respectively.
[0043] When the hot / cold adjustment dial 3 is rotated, the bottom end of the first conductive slider 12 abuts against the upper ends of the two first conductive posts 7. The two first conductive posts 7 can be electrically connected to the annular positive electrode 19 and the annular negative electrode 20, respectively. Then, when the current of the annular positive electrode 19 enters the N-type semiconductor 24 or the P-type semiconductor 26 through the first conductive posts 7, the first conductive slider 12, and the first wire 17, when the N-type semiconductor 24 is connected to the positive pole, the current passes through the thermal conductive sheet 25 and the P-type semiconductor 26 and then returns to the annular negative electrode 20, the thermal conductive sheet 25 produces a cooling effect. Similarly, when the hot / cold adjustment dial 3 is rotated 180 degrees, when the P-type semiconductor 26 is connected to the positive pole, the current flows from the P-type semiconductor 26 to the N-type semiconductor 24, and the thermal conductive sheet 25 produces a heating effect.
[0044] Specifically, the bottom ends of the second conductive column 9 and the first conductive column 7 are fixedly connected with a conductive abutment joint 10, which is made of a flexible conductive material. The conductive abutment joint 10 makes the second conductive column 9, the first conductive column 7 more stable when electrically abutting against the annular positive electrode 19 and the annular negative electrode 20.
[0045] Specifically, conductive sheets 21 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the sealing layer 23 and the side walls of the filling cavity, and electrorheological fluid 22 is filled between the two conductive sheets 21. An insulating layer is provided on the conductive sheet 21, and the conductive sheet 21 is made of flexible conductive material. The side walls of the two conductive sheets 21 are respectively electrically connected to the second wires 18, and the two second wires 18 extend into the connector 4 and are respectively electrically connected to the two second conductive sliders 11 through the two second mounting grooves 13; when the hardening adjustment dial 6 is rotated, the two second conductive sliders 11 abut against the second conductive column 9, so that the two second conductive columns 9 contact the annular positive electrode 19 or the annular negative electrode 20, and an electric field is generated between the two conductive sheets 21. The viscosity of the electrorheological fluid 22 increases under the action of the electric field, thereby increasing the hardness of the memory alloy support rod 5. Two card slots 8 are provided on the surface of the hardening adjustment dial 6. When the two second conductive sliders 11 abut against the two card slots 8, the second conductive column 9 is de-energized, the electrorheological fluid 22 returns to its original state, and the support rod hardness is reduced.
[0046] The working principle of the present invention is:
[0047] First, as Figure 1 Insert the straight-line memory alloy rod 5 into the anal surgical site. Then, by rotating the hot / cold adjustment dial 3, the two first conductive posts 7 contact the annular positive electrode 19 or the annular negative electrode 20, thereby changing the direction of the current in the semiconductor hot / cold structure. When the N-type semiconductor 24 is connected to the positive electrode, a cooling effect is generated; when the P-type semiconductor 26 is connected to the positive electrode, a heating effect is generated. Therefore, the memory alloy rod 5 can be heated to over 37°C. Due to the temperature change, the memory alloy rod 5 unfolds into a spiral shape, with the top diameter smaller than the bottom diameter, to adapt to the physiological structure of the anus and surrounding tissues, achieving natural expansion.
[0048] When the alloy rod 5 is in the anus Figure 2 After the expansion is shown, the hardening adjustment dial 6 is rotated to make the two second conductive posts 9 contact the annular positive electrode 19 or the annular negative electrode 20, and the conductive sheet 21 is energized. An electric field is generated between the two conductive sheets 21, and the viscosity of the electrorheological fluid 22 increases under the action of the electric field, thereby increasing the hardness of the memory alloy support rod 5;
[0049] When the operation is over, the hardening adjustment dial 6 is rotated so that the second conductive column 9 is powered off, the electrorheological fluid 22 returns to its original state, and the hardness of the support rod is reduced. Then, the hot and cold adjustment dial 3 is rotated so that the N-type semiconductor 24 is connected to the positive electrode, and then the memory alloy support rod 5 is powered on and cooled to below 10°C, so that the memory alloy support rod 5 returns to the contracted linear state, which is convenient for quick removal. Finally, the device is cleaned and disinfected for next use.
