Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to a household integrated machine for cleaning, disinfecting, drying, and storing tracheal cannulas. Background Technology

[0002] A tracheostomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting open the anterior wall of the trachea in the cervical region and inserting a tracheostomy tube to create an artificial airway. It is used to relieve acute respiratory distress such as laryngeal obstruction or lower respiratory tract secretion retention, or to maintain the respiratory pathway for patients on long-term mechanical ventilation. Currently, home care for tracheostomy patients is unique. Tracheostomy patients require frequent home care, necessitating cleaning and disinfection of the tracheostomy tube 1-2 times daily. However, due to the curved sections of the tracheostomy tube, cleaning the inner walls of these sections is difficult, leading to incomplete cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the present invention aims to solve the problem that the tracheal cannula in the prior art has a curved section, and the inner wall of the curved section is difficult to clean, resulting in incomplete cleaning. Thus, it provides a household tracheal cannula cleaning, disinfection, drying and storage integrated machine.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0005] This invention provides a household integrated cleaning, disinfection, drying, and storage machine for tracheal cannulas, comprising: a main body, wherein at least a cleaning chamber is provided within the main body; a clamping mechanism, disposed within the cleaning chamber, for clamping the tracheal cannulas to be cleaned; and a cleaning mechanism, disposed within the cleaning chamber; the cleaning mechanism includes a water pipe and a nozzle connected thereto; the nozzle is provided with a first nozzle and a second nozzle; the first nozzle is located at the center of the nozzle and is connected to a connecting hose for insertion into the tracheal cannulas, and the connecting hose is rotatably disposed for cleaning the inner wall of the tracheal cannulas; and multiple second nozzles are provided, which are spaced apart circumferentially along the first nozzle for rinsing the outer wall of the tracheal cannulas.

[0006] Furthermore, the connecting hose is a telescopic tube.

[0007] Furthermore, the end of the connecting hose away from the first nozzle has a bend to guide water towards the inner wall of the air tube sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism is a single-arm robotic arm.

[0009] Furthermore, the household tracheal tube cleaning, disinfection, drying and storage integrated machine also includes an ozone microporous injector, which is installed in the cleaning chamber for disinfecting the cleaned tracheal tube.

[0010] Furthermore, the main body is also equipped with a drying chamber, which is located below the cleaning chamber; the bottom of the cleaning chamber is equipped with a valve channel connecting the cleaning chamber and the drying chamber; a tray is provided inside the drying chamber, and when the valve channel is opened, the tracheal tube enters the drying chamber through the valve channel and falls onto the tray.

[0011] Furthermore, a hot air blower is installed inside the drying chamber to accelerate the drying of the air pipe sleeves on the tray.

[0012] Furthermore, the tray is a stainless steel mesh structure tray and is detachably installed inside the drying chamber.

[0013] Furthermore, the drying chamber is equipped with an exhaust fan to remove moisture from the drying chamber.

[0014] Furthermore, both the water pipe and the connecting hose are food-grade silicone tubing.

[0015] The technical solution of this invention has the following advantages:

[0016] This invention provides a household integrated cleaning, disinfection, drying, and storage machine for tracheal cannulas. In the cleaning chamber, a clamping mechanism holds the tracheal cannulas to be cleaned; the cleaning mechanism then cleans the clamped tracheal cannulas. During cleaning, a connecting hose can be inserted into the tracheal cannulas to rinse its inner wall. Furthermore, because the connecting hose can rotate, it allows for thorough cleaning of the inner wall of the tracheal cannulas without any blind spots. This design solves the problem of difficult cleaning of the inner wall of the bent sections of the tracheal cannulas. In addition, because multiple second nozzles are provided and spaced circumferentially along the first nozzle, the outer wall of the tracheal cannulas can be rinsed simultaneously, resulting in a more thorough cleaning of the entire tracheal cannulas.

[0029] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0032] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3As shown, this embodiment provides a household integrated cleaning, disinfection, drying and storage machine for tracheal tubes, including: a main body 1, wherein the main body 1 is provided with at least a cleaning chamber, the cleaning chamber is provided with a water inlet and a drain outlet, the water inlet of the cleaning chamber can be connected to an external water source through a pipe, and the drain outlet can be connected to an external drain pipe 2011 for drainage. A clamping mechanism 202 is disposed within the cleaning chamber and is used to clamp the air tube sleeve to be cleaned. A cleaning mechanism 201 is disposed within the cleaning chamber. The relative positional relationship between the cleaning mechanism 201 and the clamping mechanism 202 can be designed as needed to ensure that the air tube sleeve can be smoothly rinsed by the cleaning mechanism 201 after being clamped. The cleaning mechanism 201 includes a water pipe 2011 and a nozzle 2012 connected to it. The water pipe 2011 can be connected to the water inlet of the cleaning chamber. The nozzle 2012 is provided with a first nozzle 2013 and a second nozzle 2014. Both the first nozzle 2013 and the second nozzle 2014 can be hollow tubes protruding outward relative to the nozzle 2012. Both the first nozzle 2013 and the second nozzle 2014 are connected to the water passage inside the nozzle 2012 so that the water in the water pipe 2011 can be sprayed out through the first nozzle 2013 and the second nozzle 2014. The first nozzle 2013 is located at the center of the nozzle 2012. The first nozzle 2013 is connected to a connecting hose 2015 for insertion into the tracheostomy tube. When the connecting hose 2015 extends into the tracheostomy tube, it can change shape with the tube cavity of the tracheostomy tube, smoothly reaching the bent section of the tracheostomy tube. The connecting hose 2015 is rotatable; for example, the first nozzle 2013 can rotate relative to the nozzle 2012. A drive motor can be provided, and the output shaft of the drive motor can be a hollow shaft. The hollow shaft of the drive motor is connected to the end of the first nozzle 2013 away from the connecting hose 2015, and the drive motor drives the first nozzle 2013 to rotate, thereby rotating the connecting hose 2015. At this time, the first nozzle 2013 is used to clean the inner wall of the tracheostomy tube. Multiple second nozzles 2014 are provided, spaced circumferentially along the first nozzle 2013, for rinsing the outer wall of the tracheostomy tube. For example, the diameter of the connecting hose 2015 can be less than 8 mm to allow for better insertion into the air tube sleeve. For example, the water pressure of the second nozzle 2014 can be controlled within the range of 0.1 MPa to 0.4 MPa.

[0034] The household tracheal cannula cleaning, disinfection, drying, and storage integrated machine provided in this embodiment uses a clamping mechanism 202 to hold the tracheal cannula to be cleaned in the cleaning chamber; and a cleaning mechanism 201 to clean the clamped tracheal cannula. During cleaning, a connecting hose 2015 can be inserted into the tracheal cannula to rinse its inner wall. Moreover, since the connecting hose 2015 can rotate, it can achieve thorough cleaning of the inner wall of the tracheal cannula without dead angles. This design solves the problem of difficult cleaning of the inner wall of the bent sections of the tracheal cannula. In addition, since multiple second nozzles 2014 are provided and distributed circumferentially along the first nozzle 2013, the outer wall of the tracheal cannula can be rinsed simultaneously, making the entire tracheal cannula cleaner more thoroughly.

[0035] The connecting hose 2015 is a telescopic hose. For example, the connecting hose 2015 can adopt a pleated design to achieve the telescopic function. For example, the connecting hose 2015 can also adopt a concentric sleeve design to achieve the telescopic function.

[0036] The connecting hose 2015 has a bend 2016 at its end away from the first nozzle 2013 to guide water towards the inner wall of the air tube sleeve. For example, the bend angle of the bend 2016 can be designed as needed, such as 90°. When the connecting hose 2015 rotates, the spray angle can be adjusted, which helps improve the rinsing effect.

[0037] The clamping mechanism 202 is a single-arm robotic arm. For example, an existing robotic arm capable of clamping tubes can be used. After the single-arm robotic arm clamps the tracheostomy tube, the axial direction of the tracheostomy tube can be kept consistent with the axial direction of the connecting hose 2015.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, the household tracheal cannula cleaning, disinfection, drying, and storage integrated machine also includes an ozone microporous sprayer 203, installed inside the cleaning chamber, for disinfecting the cleaned tracheal cannula. The ozone microporous sprayer 203 can be an existing ozone microporous sprayer 203, and its inlet can be connected to an external ozone source. For example, the spray holes of the ozone microporous sprayer 203 can be evenly arrayed on the side wall of the cleaning chamber. When the ozone microporous sprayer 203 is working, it can evenly spray disinfecting ozone into the entire cleaning chamber, thereby disinfecting the tracheal cannula. Alternatively, the spray holes of the ozone microporous sprayer 203 can be located in a corner of the cleaning chamber and facing the direction of the tracheal cannula. Alternatively, an ultraviolet lamp can be used to replace the ozone microporous sprayer 203 for disinfection.

[0039] like Figure 5As shown, the main body 1 also includes a drying chamber 3, located below the cleaning chamber, making the overall structure more compact. The bottom of the cleaning chamber has a valve channel 4 connecting the cleaning chamber and the drying chamber 3. The drying chamber 3 contains a tray 301, facing the valve channel 4. When the valve channel 4 is opened, the tracheal tube enters the drying chamber 3 through the valve channel 4 and falls onto the tray 301. The valve channel 4 can be a through-hole at the bottom of the cleaning chamber and two openable doors. When the doors are closed, the through-hole is sealed; when the doors are open, the through-hole is unobstructed. For example, the doors can be conventional revolving doors or telescopic doors, controlled by the overall control system of the household tracheal tube cleaning, disinfection, drying, and storage integrated machine, opening or closing as needed. For example, the cleaning chamber door can be located at the top. For example, the drying chamber door can be located on the front side. For example, the door handles of both the cleaning chamber and the drying chamber 3 can be recessed handles, making them more aesthetically pleasing.

[0040] The drying chamber 3 is equipped with a hot air blower 302 to accelerate the drying of the air pipe sleeves on the tray 301. During operation, the hot air blower 302 blows out hot air, which can perform low-temperature drying at 40°C.

[0041] The tray 301 is a stainless steel mesh tray 301. The mesh structure of the tray 301 can reduce the contact area and keep the air tube in a dry environment. The tray 301 is detachably installed in the drying chamber 3, which makes it easy to remove the tray 301 for cleaning and disinfection.

[0042] The drying chamber 3 is equipped with an exhaust fan 303 to remove moisture from the chamber. During drying, the hot air blower 302 and the exhaust fan 303 can operate simultaneously to circulate air within the drying chamber 3.

[0043] Both the water pipe 2011 and the connecting hose 2015 are food-grade silicone tubing. This design allows for disinfection by rinsing with boiling water after disassembly.

[0044] This household tracheal cannula cleaning, disinfection, drying, and storage all-in-one machine can also be equipped with a one-button electronic screen 5, featuring three buttons: "Cleaning / Disinfection," "Drying," and "Emergency Stop," which lowers the barrier to entry for operation. Furthermore, it can use LED indicator lights to show the status; for example, a red light indicates cleaning and disinfection in progress, a yellow light indicates drying in progress, and a green light indicates the cannula is ready for removal. This design makes it more intelligent.

[0045] Among them, the household tracheostomy tube cleaning, disinfection, drying and storage all-in-one machine can also be equipped with a voice guidance system with a built-in voice module, such as "Please insert the tube and close the door" to guide users to operate correctly.

[0046] This household tracheal cannula cleaning, disinfection, drying, and storage all-in-one machine can also be equipped with an anti-accidental-touch safety lock. During disinfection / drying, the door is electromagnetically locked, automatically cutting off power when the lid is opened, and the abnormal lid-opening protection response is less than 0.5 seconds. Automatic locking: During disinfection and drying, the electromagnetic lock is energized, generating a 500N suction force to ensure the door is tightly closed; the disinfection program cannot start if the door is not closed. Power-off upon lid opening: Power is immediately cut off when the door is opened 3mm, the pressure relief valve is activated, and the locking pressure is automatically adjusted according to the internal pressure, with a locking force of up to 1.2 times the chamber pressure. These features make this household tracheal cannula cleaning, disinfection, drying, and storage all-in-one machine safer and more user-friendly.

[0047] When using the equipment, Step 1: Unfold the device, open the cleaning and disinfection chamber, insert the tubing, close the chamber door, and press the "Cleaning and Disinfection" button. It will automatically start for 10 minutes. Step 2: After cleaning and disinfection, the tubing will automatically slide into the drying and storage chamber and be dried with 40℃ hot air for 5 minutes.

[0048] In summary, the household gas tube cleaning, disinfection, drying and storage integrated machine of this application can automatically complete the cleaning, disinfection, drying and storage processes in one integrated process. It cleans thoroughly, meets disinfection standards, shortens the operation time, avoids secondary infection caused by manual transfer, and reduces the safety hazards caused by traditional boiling disinfection.

[0049] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
