Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical devices, specifically a portable extracorporeal circulation support device for elderly patients with heart failure. Background Technology
[0002] Heart failure is a severe and end-stage of various heart diseases, especially for elderly patients who have poor cardiac reserve and high mortality rates during acute attacks. Extracorporeal circulation support devices, such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) and ventricular assist devices (VAD), are important technologies for saving the lives of patients with severe heart failure. They are mainly used to treat patients with end-stage heart failure, serving as a "bridge" before heart transplantation or as an "endpoint treatment" when transplantation is not possible, in order to maintain blood circulation, prolong patient life, and improve their quality of life. For elderly patients with heart failure, due to their often multiple underlying diseases, poor surgical tolerance, and scarcity of heart donors, VADs are particularly significant as an effective long-term mechanical circulatory support solution. Currently, mainstream long-term extracorporeal circulation assist devices (such as left ventricular assist devices, LVADs) mainly consist of an internal blood pump, a percutaneous lead, and an external controller and battery pack. The basic working principle is as follows: the blood pump is surgically implanted into the patient's chest cavity. The inflow tube of the blood pump is connected to the apex of the left ventricle, and the outflow tube is connected to the ascending aorta. Driven by the controller, the blood pump draws blood from the left ventricle and pumps it into the aorta, thereby directly reducing the load on the left heart and maintaining systemic blood circulation. After the operation, the patient needs to carry an external controller and two rechargeable batteries for life. The controller supplies power to the internal blood pump and controls its operation through a percutaneous lead that passes through the abdominal wall. However, existing portable VAD systems still have significant drawbacks and challenges for elderly patients with heart failure. For example, they are not portable and comfortable enough. Although they are called "portable", the total weight and size of the controller and battery pack are large. Patients sometimes need to place them outside, such as when using the toilet. It is inconvenient to carry them with them and they need to place them outside. Not all places have a platform for patients to place them, which makes it inconvenient to use and causes trouble for patients.
[0003] Therefore, a portable extracorporeal circulation assist device for elderly patients with heart failure is proposed. Summary of the Invention

The mounting base 3 is slidably connected to the T-shaped connecting seat 11 through the T-shaped connecting groove 32. An elastic plate 33 is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting base 3 away from the control groove 31. At least two sets of control shaft brackets 34 are fixedly installed on the surface of the mounting base 3. A positioning block 331 is fixedly installed on the side of the elastic plate 33 near the T-shaped connecting seat 11. A pull plate 332 is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic plate 33 away from the mounting base 3. The pull plate 332 is used to control the elastic plate 33 to tilt. Two sets of suction cup supports 4 are provided. The suction cup supports 4 are fixedly connected to the mounting base 3. A retaining ring 41 is fixedly installed on the end of the suction cup supports 4 away from the mounting base 3. A vent hole 51 is opened on the surface of the suction cup 5. A suction cup pull rod 52 is fixedly connected to the surface of the suction cup 5. The suction cup pull rod 52 passes through... The suction cup rod 52 extends into the suction cup support 4 after passing through the retaining ring 41. A rod clearance groove 521 is formed on the surface of the suction cup rod 52. A control shaft 7 is inserted into the inside of the suction cup rod 52. The surface of the suction cup rod 52 is slidably fitted onto a sliding sleeve 53. A first compression spring 6 is provided between the sliding sleeve 53 and the retaining ring 41. An elastic sealing ring 531 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding sleeve 53 near the suction cup 5. The elastic sealing ring 531 slides through the retaining ring 41.

Then, the lever 72 is pushed towards the body 1 of the auxiliary device, separating the lever 72 from a set of limiting posts 311. The lever 72 is then moved to the position of another set of limiting posts 311. Under the elastic force of the second compression spring 8, the lever 72 is engaged between the limiting posts 311 and the inner wall of the control groove 31. Simultaneously, the first cam 73 pushes the elastic sealing ring 531 towards the suction cup 5 through the sliding sleeve 53. The second cam 74, through the inner wall of the pull rod relief groove 521, pulls the suction cup 5 towards the inside of the suction cup support 4, increasing the negative pressure inside the suction cup 5, thereby achieving the purpose of adsorbing the auxiliary device body 1 onto the smooth surface. When it is necessary to remove the auxiliary device body 1, according to the above steps, the lever 72 is turned in the opposite direction. Under the rebound action of the first compression spring 6, the elastic sealing ring 531 separates from the suction cup 5. At this time, air enters the inside of the suction cup 5 through the vent 51, balancing the air pressure inside the suction cup 5, thereby achieving the purpose of removing the auxiliary device body 1.
