[0002] Bronchoscope alveolar lavage is an endoscopic diagnosis and treatment technology. By inserting a bronchoscope into the airway and injecting physiological saline into the target bronchus and then withdrawing, alveolar lavage fluid samples can be obtained for cytological, microbiological and other examinations to assist in the diagnosis of lung infections, tumors, diffuse lung diseases and other diseases. It can also remove foreign matter, viscous secretions or inflammatory exudates in the airway for the treatment of related lung lesions.

[0003] The alveolar lavage fluid specimen collector currently used is connected in series with the waste liquid collection container on the negative pressure suction pipeline.

[0015] Preferably, anti-skid convex patterns are arranged around the axis of the outer peripheral wall of the fastening cap.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. The valve mechanism of the present application is connected with the bronchoscope unit and the waste liquid collecting unit, and cooperates with the adapter mechanism and the specimen tank to form a detachable assembly structure. When sampling, the specimen tank is installed on the side of the valve mechanism by using the adapter mechanism, so that a complete sampling channel is formed. After sampling, the adapter mechanism is removed, so that the sampling channel is switched to a waste liquid collecting channel. The pipeline between the bronchoscope unit and the waste liquid collecting unit does not need to be repeatedly disassembled and connected, so that the risk of pipeline pollution and the operation complexity are reduced.

[0018] 2. During the removal of the adapter mechanism, the spring A is used to elastically reset the circular core member to continuously abut against the end of the inlet tube and the outlet tube. When the inlet tube and the outlet tube are not completely withdrawn, the center hole of the blocking ring member is blocked. When the inlet tube and the outlet tube are completely withdrawn, the flow-through hole of the blocking ring member is blocked, and the center hole of the blocking ring member is blocked by the circular core member. Without the need to close the negative pressure source and the related valve, the leakage of the lavage liquid can be effectively avoided, and the disassembly can be realized without stopping the machine.

[0019] 3. The blocking ring member has the functions of limiting and blocking of the circular core member, blocking of the flow-through hole and pushing of the blocking sleeve. The circular core member simultaneously blocks the center hole of the blocking ring member and the flow guide port. Multiple independent limiting members, blocking members and triggering members are not needed, so that the number of components is reduced, the assembly difficulty and the maintenance cost are reduced, and the overall reliability of the system is improved.

[0020] 4. The inlet tube and the outlet tube in the present application adopt a hard bending pipe structure. The bending shape of the hard bending pipe structure is matched with the L-shaped joint. Compared with the traditional flexible pipeline, the hard bending pipe structure can effectively prevent the lavage liquid from being blocked due to excessive bending of the pipeline. The annular array of the flow-through ports at the end of the inlet tube and the outlet tube and the uniformly distributed flow-through holes on the circular core member can increase the flow-through cross-sectional area of the lavage liquid, reduce the blocking probability of the channel by impurities such as mucus and flocculent substances in the lavage liquid, and ensure the negative pressure suction efficiency and the continuity of diagnosis and treatment.

[0021] 5. The valve mechanism, switching mechanism and specimen jar are designed as an inverted L-shaped structure as a whole, so that the inflow cannula is closer to the side where the overall gravity center is located than the outflow cannula in the specimen jar, while avoiding excessive inclination of the specimen jar, ensuring a certain distance between the liquid surface in the specimen jar and the outflow cannula, and effectively avoiding the situation that the lavage liquid in the specimen jar is sucked into the outflow cannula due to excessive inclination of the specimen jar, resulting in insufficient sampling amount.

The waste liquid collecting tank 3 can collect the lavage fluid. The solution is only suitable for the suction and collection of the lavage fluid. Embodiment 2

[0045] Please refer to Figures 1-12 The present application provides a bronchoscope alveolar lavage fluid collector. The collector is applied to a bronchoscope alveolar lavage fluid suction system, and a bronchoscope unit, the collector, a waste liquid collecting unit and a negative pressure aspirator 4 are sequentially connected in series.

[0046] The collector comprises a valve mechanism 5, an adapter mechanism 6 and a specimen tank 7. The specimen tank 7 is detachably arranged on the adapter mechanism 6, the adapter mechanism 6 is detachably arranged on the valve mechanism 5, the valve mechanism 5 is communicated with the bronchoscope unit through an inlet pipe 501, and the valve mechanism 5 is communicated with the waste liquid collecting unit through an outlet pipe 502. When the specimen tank 7 is arranged on the valve mechanism 5 through the adapter mechanism 6, the alveolar lavage fluid can be collected into the specimen tank 7. When the adapter mechanism 6 is detached from the valve mechanism 5, the bronchoscope unit is directly communicated with the waste liquid collecting unit through the valve mechanism 5.

[0047] When the sample of the lavage fluid in the alveolus needs to be collected, the valve mechanism 5 is connected with the sputum suction tube 2 through the inlet pipe 501, and the valve mechanism 5 is connected with the liquid suction tube 31 through the outlet pipe 502. Then the specimen tank 7 is arranged on the adapter mechanism 6, and the adapter mechanism 6 is arranged on the valve mechanism 5. When the negative pressure suction effect is generated by the operation of the negative pressure aspirator 4, the lavage fluid in the patient's body is suctioned into the specimen tank 7 by the sputum suction tube 2, the inlet pipe 501 and the adapter mechanism 6, so as to realize the sampling of the lavage fluid.

[0048] After the sampling is completed, the adapter mechanism 6 is detached from the valve mechanism 5. At this time, the inlet pipe 501 is directly communicated with the outlet pipe 502 through the valve mechanism 5, so as to realize the direct communication between the bronchoscope unit and the waste liquid collecting unit. The lavage fluid in the patient's body can be suctioned into the waste liquid collecting tank 3 for collection by the operation of the negative pressure aspirator 4.

[0049] When the specimen tank 7 is detached from the adapter mechanism 6, the lavage fluid in the specimen tank 7 can be poured out for testing.

[0050] By setting the valve mechanism 5 between the bronchoscope unit and the waste liquid collection unit, the specimen jar 7 is installed on the valve mechanism 5 by the adapter mechanism 6, and the lavage fluid can be pumped into the specimen jar 7 for sampling. The adapter mechanism 6 is detached from the valve mechanism 5, which facilitates inspection, and the bronchoscope unit and the waste liquid collection unit are directly connected for waste liquid collection without frequent pipeline disconnection and switching.

[0051] The specimen jar 7 is made of transparent material to observe the liquid level of the collected lavage fluid in the specimen jar 7. In addition, as shown in Figure 3 , the specimen jar 7 has a scale line 71 on the outer wall to determine whether the amount of collected lavage fluid in the specimen jar 7 reaches the required amount. Example 3

[0052] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , on the basis of the foregoing examples, the valve mechanism 5 and the adapter mechanism 6 are explained in detail as follows:

[0053] The valve mechanism 5 includes a valve body 51, a blocking ring 53, a circular core 54, and a spring A 55. The valve body 51 is cylindrical, and a pair of insertion holes 52 extending along the length axis are formed on one side of the valve body 51. An inlet port 511 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the valve body 51, and an outlet port 512 is provided on the other side. The valve body 51 has a flow guide port 513 for connecting the two insertion holes 52. The inlet port 511 is connected to an inlet pipe 501, which is in communication with the suction tube 2. The outlet port 512 is connected to an outlet pipe 502, which is in communication with the suction tube 31.

[0054] The blocking ring 53 is fixed on the inner wall of the insertion hole 52 near the port. The circular core 54 is slidably installed in the insertion hole 52. The circular core 54 has a plurality of flow-through holes 541 distributed around the axis, and the distribution range of the circular core 54 corresponds to the position of the blocking ring 53. The spring A 55 is provided in the insertion hole 52. One end of the spring A 55 is fixed to the end face of the circular core 54, and the other end is fixed to the inner wall of the insertion hole 52. Under the elastic restraint of the spring A 55, the end face of the circular core 54 abuts against the blocking ring 53. At this time, the blocking ring 53 can cover and block all the flow-through holes 541 on the circular core 54. When the circular core 54 is pushed away from the blocking ring 53 to the limit position by the inlet insertion tube 61 or the outlet insertion tube 62, the circular core 54 covers and blocks the flow guide port 513.

[0055] The switching mechanism 6 comprises an inflow cannula 61, an outflow cannula 62, an L-shaped joint 64, a fastening cap 65 and a fastening end 66, the inflow cannula 61 and the outflow cannula 62 are fixedly penetrated in the L-shaped joint 64, and the inflow cannula 61 and the outflow cannula 62 are both in a bent shape, and a plurality of flow ports 63 are arranged in an annular array on the end of the inflow cannula 61 and the outflow cannula 62, the inflow cannula 61 and the outflow cannula 62 can be matched to pass through the corresponding blocking ring 53 and are inserted into the corresponding insertion hole 52, the fastening cap 65 is installed on one end of the L-shaped joint 64 and can be detachably installed on the valve body 51, and the fastening end 66 is arranged on the other end of the L-shaped joint 64, and the specimen jar 7 is detachably installed on the fastening end 66.

[0056] The inflow cannula 61 and the outflow cannula 62 are made of hard pipes, and the bending degree is consistent with the L-shaped joint 64, so that the situation of blockage caused by excessive bending of the soft pipes used as the inflow cannula 61 and the outflow cannula 62 in the prior art can be avoided, in addition, the inflow cannula 61 is longer than the outflow cannula 62, and the one end of the inflow cannula 61 and the one end of the outflow cannula 62 are parallel, when the specimen jar 7 is installed on the fastening end 66, the end of the inflow cannula 61 extends to the bottom of the specimen jar 7, and the end of the outflow cannula 62 is below the jar opening of the specimen jar 7, so that the liquid level of the lavage fluid in the specimen jar 7 can be guaranteed not to be sucked to the downstream before reaching the height where the end of the outflow cannula 62 is located, thereby ensuring that a certain amount of lavage fluid sample can be collected in the specimen jar 7, and secondly, the parallel ends of the inflow cannula 61 and the outflow cannula 62 are respectively matched to the corresponding two circular core members 54.

[0057] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the fastening cap 65 and the valve body 51 are connected by screwing, the specimen jar 7 and the fastening end 66 are connected by screwing, the fastening cap 65 is rotatably sleeved on the L-shaped joint 64, so that the fastening cap 65 has the rotation ability relative to the L-shaped joint 64, and then the fastening cap 65 is screwed when the inflow cannula 61 and the outflow cannula 62 pass through the blocking ring 53 and are inserted into the insertion hole 52, so that the L-shaped joint 64, the inflow cannula 61 and the outflow cannula 62 cannot rotate with the fastening cap 65.

[0058] Specifically, the dismounting principle of the specimen jar 7 is as follows:

[0059] The port of the specimen jar 7 is clamped into the fastening end 66, and the outflow cannula 62 and the inflow cannula 61 are both inserted into the specimen jar 7, then the specimen jar 7 is held and twisted, the specimen jar 7 and the fastening end 66 are gradually locked by the thread cooperation between the specimen jar 7 and the fastening end 66, so that the specimen jar 7 is fixedly installed; when dismounting, the specimen jar 7 is held and twisted in the opposite direction, so that the specimen jar 7 can be dismounted from the fastening end 66.

[0060] Specifically, the inlet and outlet cannulas 61 and 62 are slightly extended to the outside of the fastening cap 65 at the flush end, and the disassembly principle of the adapter mechanism 6 is as follows:

[0061] First, the inlet and outlet cannulas 61 and 62 are aligned and inserted into the two blocking ring members 53, and the fastening cap 65 is slowly screwed onto the valve body 51. When the fastening cap 65 is gradually tightened, the inlet and outlet cannulas 61 and 62 pass through the two blocking ring members 53 at the same time and abut against the circular core members 54. As the fastening cap 65 continues to be screwed, the inlet and outlet cannulas 61 and 62 push the two circular core members 54 to move away from the blocking ring members 53, and the spring A 55 is compressed and stored. At this time, the circular core members 54 are separated from the blocking ring members 53, and the blocking ring members 53 do not block the flow-through holes 541.

[0062] Until the fastening cap 65 is completely tightened on the valve body 51, the inlet and outlet cannulas 61 and 62 push the two circular core members 54 to move to the limit position away from the blocking ring members 53. At this time, the two circular core members 54 move to the position corresponding to the flow guide port 513 and block the flow guide port 513 from both sides. The sampling path is formed by the inlet port 511, the upper insertion hole 52, the upper flow-through hole 541, the upper flow-through port 63, the inlet cannula 61, the specimen tank 7, the outlet cannula 62, the lower flow-through port 63, the lower flow-through hole 541, the lower insertion hole 52, and the outlet port 512, which facilitates sampling the lavage fluid into the specimen tank 7. The specific sampling flow direction is indicated by the arrows in Figure 8 .

[0063] When the adapter mechanism 6 is disassembled from the valve mechanism 5, the fastening cap 65 is unscrewed in reverse, which drives the inlet and outlet cannulas 61 and 62 to retreat. Under the elastic reset action of the spring A 55, the circular core members 54 are pushed to retreat synchronously. Until the inlet and outlet cannulas 61 and 62 are completely withdrawn from the two insertion holes 52, the disassembly of the adapter mechanism 6 is completed. As shown in Figure 11 , the two springs A 55 push the two circular core members 54 to abut against the blocking ring members 53 under the action of the elastic force, and the flow-through holes 541 are blocked by the blocking ring members 53. At the same time, when the two circular core members 54 are reset, the blocking of the flow guide port 513 is cancelled. The waste liquid suction path is formed by the inlet port 511, the upper insertion hole 52, the flow guide port 513, the lower insertion hole 52, and the outlet port 512, which facilitates the suction of waste liquid into the waste liquid collection tank 3 for collection. The specific flow direction is indicated by the arrows in Figure 11 .

[0064] Wherein, when the adapter mechanism 6 is detached from the valve mechanism 5, in the process of the inlet cannula 61 and the outlet cannula 62 being withdrawn outwardly, the two core members 54 can be pushed to keep abutting with the inlet cannula 61 and the outlet cannula 62 at the end by the elastic restoring action of the spring A55, on the one hand, the inlet cannula 61 and the outlet cannula 62 are still provided in the two blocking ring members 53, so that the blocking ring members 53 can be blocked, thereby avoiding the lavage liquid from leaking from the blocking ring members 53 during the detaching process, on the other hand, when the inlet cannula 61 and the outlet cannula 62 are completely withdrawn from the blocking ring members 53, the core members 54 abut with the blocking ring members 53, the flow-through hole 541 is blocked by the blocking ring members 53, and the central hole of the blocking ring members 53 is blocked by the core members 54, which also has the effect of preventing the lavage liquid from leaking, and the mechanism ensures that the suction system does not need to be stopped when the adapter mechanism 6 is detached.

[0065] In addition, as shown in Figure 6 , the fastening cap 65 is provided with anti-skid convex patterns 651 arrayed around its axis on the outer peripheral wall, which has the effect of anti-skid when the fastening cap 65 is screwed.

[0066] In addition, when the specimen jar 7 is installed on the side of the valve mechanism 5 by using the adapter mechanism 6, the valve mechanism 5, the adapter mechanism 6 and the specimen jar 7 are in an inverted L-shaped structure, and meanwhile, as shown in Figure 2 , when there is no lavage liquid collected in the specimen jar 7, the specimen jar 7 is kept in a nearly vertical state under the restraint of the inlet pipe 501 and the outlet pipe 502, and since the above-mentioned inverted L-shaped structure has the gravity center deviated to the side of the inlet cannula 61, as the amount of the lavage liquid collected in the specimen jar 7 becomes more and more, the specimen jar 7 will gradually tilt slightly to the side of the inlet cannula 61, and then, as shown in Figure 10 , there is a certain distance between the liquid surface of the lavage liquid in the specimen jar 7 and the outlet cannula 62.

[0067] In summary, the valve mechanism 5, the adapter mechanism 6 and the specimen jar 7 are designed in an inverted L-shaped structure, and the inlet cannula 61 is relatively closer to the side where the gravity center of the whole structure is located than the outlet cannula 62, which can avoid the specimen jar 7 from tilting excessively, and at the same time, can ensure that there is a certain distance between the liquid surface in the specimen jar 7 and the outlet cannula 62, thereby effectively avoiding the situation that the lavage liquid in the specimen jar 7 is sucked into the outlet cannula 62 due to the excessive tilting of the specimen jar 7, and the sampling amount is insufficient. Embodiment 4

[0068] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 3 is that:

[0069] Both the inlet tube 61 and the outlet tube 62 are fixedly fitted with protruding rings 68. Both the inlet tube 61 and the outlet tube 62 are slidably fitted with sealing sleeves 67 for blocking the flow port 63. The two sealing sleeves 67 are respectively engaged with the corresponding retaining rings 53. Both the inlet tube 61 and the outlet tube 62 are fitted with springs B69. One end of the spring B69 is fixed to the protruding ring 68, and the other end is fixed to the sealing sleeve 67.

[0070] like Figure 12 As shown, when the inlet tube 61 and outlet tube 62 are not inserted into the retaining ring 53 and are inserted into the insertion hole 52, the spring B69, under its elastic support, pushes the sealing sleeve 67 to block the flow port 63 on the inlet tube 61 and outlet tube 62 respectively. When the transfer mechanism 6 is removed from the valve mechanism 5 after sampling, leakage of the sample from the specimen container 7 from the flow port 63 is prevented.

[0071] When the inlet tube 61 and outlet tube 62 are inserted into the insertion hole 52, under the blocking and pushing action of the retaining ring 53, the sealing sleeve 67 is gradually pushed towards the convex ring 68, and the spring B69 is elastically compressed and stores energy. At this time, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the sealing sleeve 67 removes the obstruction of the flow port 63, ensuring that the flushing fluid can flow through the flow port 63.

[0072] In addition, the retaining ring 53 serves as a blocking component for the round core 54, a sealing component for the flow hole 541, and a blocking and pushing component for the sealing sleeve 67, achieving multiple functions at once; at the same time, the round core 54 serves as a sealing component for the central hole of the retaining ring 53 and a sealing component for the guide port 513, achieving two functions at once.

[0073] The sealing and unsealing of the flow guide port 513 by the round core component 54, the sealing and unsealing of the flow hole 541 by the retaining ring component 53, the sealing and unsealing of the central hole of the retaining ring component 53 by the round core component 54, and the sealing and unsealing of the flow port 63 by the sealing sleeve 67 all occur during the disassembly and assembly of the adapter mechanism 6, thus eliminating the need for additional adjustments to the sealing and unsealing at the corresponding locations, ensuring a more relaxed and convenient disassembly and assembly process.

[0074] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention.
