Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of video intubation laryngoscope technology, specifically a universal video intubation laryngoscope for rats and mice. Background Technology
[0002] Animal experiments require rats and mice. During these experiments, after anesthesia, tracheal intubation is necessary to ensure respiration; otherwise, brain surgery can easily cause respiratory depression, leading to death in both rats and mice. Open-chest surgeries, such as those on the heart and lungs, also require tracheal intubation to control respiration; otherwise, irregular breathing after thoracotomy can easily result in death. Other surgeries requiring prolonged procedures also necessitate tracheal intubation for respiratory management. Current techniques involve anesthetizing rats and mice, suspending them, shining a strong light on their necks, and then using a laryngoscope to lift the intubation tube to check for light before intubation. However, this method is quite difficult for beginners to master, especially with mice. Furthermore, after intubation, it's necessary to determine whether the tube has entered the trachea, affecting intubation efficiency.
[0003] According to the patent application published on the Internet, a method for tracheal intubation of mice and rats (authorization announcement number: CN 107736951A) is described in which the method includes "tracheal tube, guide wire, endoscope wall, battery, and operating handle" to perform intubation.
[0004] Regarding the above description, the applicant believes the following issues exist:
[0005] This method of tracheal intubation for mice and rats utilizes a tracheal tube, guide wire, endoscope wall, battery, and operating handle to perform intubation. However, due to the small size of the rat's trachea, intubation under light can affect efficiency. Furthermore, it is difficult for beginners to perform intubation, and it requires confirmation of whether the tube has entered the trachea after intubation, resulting in poor effectiveness. Therefore, this intubation method needs improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a universal video intubation laryngoscope X for rats and mice to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a universal video intubation laryngoscope for rats and mice, comprising a base, a placement mechanism on the top of the base, an installation mechanism on the top of the placement mechanism, and an intubation mechanism on the top of the installation mechanism.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting mechanism includes a lens handle, which is fixedly connected to the top of the placement mechanism. A charging port is provided on the left side of the lens handle. A display screen is fixedly connected inside the lens handle. A power module is fixedly connected to the left side of the lens handle. A storage module is fixedly connected to the inside of the lens handle. A processing module is fixedly connected to the right side of the lens handle. A lens body is fixedly connected to the top of the lens handle. A small cap is fixedly connected to the top of the lens body. An LED light is fixedly connected to the top of the lens body. A camera is fixedly connected to the top of the lens body. Buckles are fixedly connected to both sides of the lens body.
[0009] Preferably, the cap is round and made of a relatively soft material. The LED light is a cold light source, and the charging interface is a two-in-one interface. The relatively soft material helps to prevent damage to the oral mucosa, while the cold light source avoids burning the oral mucosa. The two-in-one charging interface can function as a charging interface when connected to an external power source and as a data transmission interface when connected to a computer, thus improving the user experience.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the processing module is connected to the camera, the left end of the processing module is connected to the display screen, and the storage module is connected to the camera and the charging interface, so as to facilitate the display screen showing the content captured by the camera for staff to observe.
[0011] Preferably, the power module is connected to the camera, processing module, display screen, storage module and charging interface via a connecting cable, so as to provide power to each component through the power module and to be charged by an external power source.
[0012] Preferably, the insertion mechanism includes a lens body, which is inserted into the periphery of the lens body. A fixing cavity is formed inside the lens body. A lens side hole is formed on the right side of the lens body. An insertion side hole is formed inside the lens body. The lens side hole and the insertion side hole are connected to each other.
[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the fixing cavity is in contact with the outer periphery of the laryngoscope body, and a slot is provided in the fixing cavity. The slot engages with the outer periphery of the buckle. The insertion tube side hole is provided with bristles, which facilitates the fixing of the lens body by engaging the slot with the outer periphery of the buckle. This allows for the fixing of different types of lens bodies, making the operation convenient. At the same time, the bristles help the endotracheal tube to easily enter the trachea during endotracheal intubation and prevent it from slipping out. After intubation, the endotracheal tube is easy to remove, avoiding the removal of the endotracheal tube when removing the laryngoscope.
[0014] Preferably, the placement mechanism includes a placement seat, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base. A first placement groove is provided on the left side of the placement seat, and a second placement groove is provided on the right side of the placement seat. A threaded rod is threadedly connected inside the placement seat. A knob is fixedly connected to the front side of the threaded rod, and a clamping plate is rotatably connected to the rear side of the threaded rod. A fixing plate is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the threaded rod. A sliding rod is slidably connected inside the fixing plate, and the rear side of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the front side of the clamping plate.
[0015] Preferably, there are two slide rods, which are symmetrically distributed inside the fixed plate. The two slide rods are slidably connected to the placement seat. The first placement groove and the second placement groove are in contact with the bottom of the mirror handle, so that the slide rods can limit the clamping plate and make the screw rod drive the clamping plate to move back and forth more stably.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a universal video intubation laryngoscope for rats and mice, which has the following features:
[0017] Beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. This universal video intubation laryngoscope for rats and mice, through its designed mounting mechanism, enables visual intubation technology during intubation, which greatly shortens intubation time, improves the success rate of intubation, reduces unnecessary collateral damage, and prevents tracheotomy due to repeated intubation or intubation failure. At the same time, the display screen is located at the handle of the scope, making it easy to observe the content captured by the camera.
[0019] 2. This universal video intubation laryngoscope for rats and mice, through its intubation mechanism, allows the tracheal tube to pass through the side hole of the laryngoscope during intubation. The tracheal tube can also be rotated left and right within the side hole of the laryngoscope, making intubation easier. Furthermore, the laryngoscope blades can be replaced to facilitate exposure of rats and mice. Different sizes of laryngoscope blades can be replaced according to different sizes and fixed to the periphery of the scope.
[0020] 3. This universal video intubation laryngoscope for rats and mice, through its placement mechanism, allows the handle to be placed in the first and second placement slots within the placement base when the power module needs charging. This ensures the handle is in a stable and safe state. First, the handle is placed in the first and second placement slots within the placement base. Then, by rotating the knob, the threaded rod moves the clamping plate back and forth, positioning it on both sides of the handle to clamp and fix it. When the threaded rod rotates, it causes the fixing plate to rotate and slide around the slide rod. The slide rod limits the movement of the fixing plate, thus making the back-and-forth movement of the clamping plate more stable. Attached Figure Description

The power module 35 is connected to the camera 391, processing module 37, display screen 33, storage module 36, and charging port 32 via connecting cables, so that the power module 35 can supply power to each component and can be connected to an external power source for charging.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] Please see Figure 1-8Furthermore, based on Embodiment 1, the insertion mechanism 4 further includes a lens body 41, which is inserted into the periphery of the lens body 38. A fixing cavity 42 is provided inside the lens body 41, a lens side hole 43 is provided on the right side of the lens body 41, and an insertion side hole 44 is provided inside the lens body 41. The lens side hole 43 and the insertion side hole 44 are connected to each other. The inner wall of the fixing cavity 42 is in contact with the periphery of the lens body 38.

This allows the lens body 41 to be fixed by engaging the slot with the periphery of the buckle 392. It can also fix different types of lens bodies 41, making the operation convenient.
[0039] Example 3
[0040] Please see Figure 1-8 Based on Examples 1 and 2, the placement mechanism 2 further includes a placement seat 21, which is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A first placement groove 22 is provided on the left side of the placement seat 21, and a second placement groove 23 is provided on the right side of the placement seat 21. A threaded rod 25 is threadedly connected inside the placement seat 21. A knob 24 is fixedly connected to the front side of the threaded rod 25, and a clamping plate 28 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the threaded rod 25. A fixing plate 27 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 25. A sliding rod 26 is slidably connected inside the fixing plate 27. The rear side of the sliding rod 26 is fixedly connected to the front side of the clamping plate 28. There are two sliding rods 26, which are symmetrically distributed inside the fixing plate 27. The two sliding rods 26 are slidably connected to the placement seat 21. The first placement groove 22 and the second placement groove 23 are in contact with the bottom of the mirror handle 31, so that the clamping plate 28 can be limited by the sliding rod 26, making the movement of the clamping plate 28 by the threaded rod 25 more stable.
[0041] In actual operation, when this device is used, firstly, different laryngeal blades are selected according to the size of different mice. Then, the blade body 41 is inserted into the periphery of the blade body 38 through the fixing cavity 42. When the blade body 41 moves downward, the slot in the fixing cavity 42 will engage with the periphery of the buckle 392 to fix the blade body 41. This can achieve a fixing effect for different types of blades. During the intubation process, when the blade body 41 is inserted into the mouse's throat, the internal condition of the throat can be observed through the camera 391. The top of the processing module 37 and... The camera 391 is connected, and the left end of the processing module 37 is connected to the display screen 33. The content captured by the camera 391 is displayed on the display screen 33 for staff observation. Through visual intubation technology, intubation time is greatly shortened, the success rate of intubation is improved, and unnecessary collateral damage is reduced, preventing tracheotomy due to repeated intubation attempts or failures. The display screen 33 is located at the lens handle 31, making it easy to observe the content captured by the camera 391. The power module 35 is connected to the camera 391, processing module 37, display screen 33, and storage module 36 via connecting cables. It connects to the charging interface 32 to facilitate power supply to various accessories via the power module 35, and can also be charged by an external power source. When the lens body 41 is in the appropriate position, the endotracheal tube is inserted into the intubation side hole 44 through the lens side hole 43 to perform intubation. At the same time, the bristles inside the intubation side hole 44 help the endotracheal tube to easily enter the trachea and prevent it from slipping out during endotracheal intubation. After intubation, it is easy to remove the endotracheal tube, avoiding the endotracheal tube being pulled out when removing the laryngoscope. When it is necessary to charge the power module 35, the handle 31 is placed in the first position of the placement base 21. The lens is placed in the slot 22 and the second slot 23. Then, by rotating the knob 24, the threaded rod 25 drives the clamping plate 28 to move back and forth, so that the clamping plate 28 moves to the front and rear sides of the lens handle 31 to clamp and fix the lens handle 31. When the threaded rod 25 rotates, it will drive the fixing plate 27 to rotate and slide the fixing plate 27 around the slide rod 26. The slide rod 26 can limit the fixing plate 27, so that the movement of the clamping plate 28 back and forth is more stable and the lens handle 31 is in a safe state. Then the power module 35 can be charged through the charging interface 32.
