Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical drainage bottle technology, and in particular to an anti-tipping device for a closed chest drainage bottle. Background Technology
[0002] Closed thoracic drainage is one of the most common treatment methods in thoracic surgery, widely used for the drainage of pneumothorax, hemothorax, empyema, and after thoracotomy. The drainage device is commonly known as a drainage bottle, and common types include single-chamber, double-chamber, and triple-chamber drainage bottles. When the patient is in bed, the drainage bottle is usually hung by the bedside using hooks.
[0003] When patients are recovering outside the ward, the environment is unsuitable for hanging drainage bottles, requiring patients to constantly hold the bottles to prevent them from tipping over. If the drainage bottle is placed directly on the ground or in a low position, its tall and slender shape makes it easily knocked over by others, causing air to enter the chest cavity and compress the lungs, leading to breathing difficulties and even life-threatening situations. Traditional water-seal bottles, when tipped over, can cause serious consequences similar to open pneumothorax, severely restricting patient movement and hindering recovery. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing an anti-tipping device for closed thoracic drainage bottles.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A closed chest drainage bottle anti-tipping device includes: The base has multiple support rods on its top; The drainage bottle is placed on the base and positioned between the support rods; A support plate, which is detachably and vertically attached to one side of the drainage bottle; And an adsorption mechanism, which is located at the bottom of the base so that the support sheet can be adsorbed laterally onto the bottom of the base.
[0006] The adsorption mechanism includes multiple first magnets, each of which is evenly distributed on the bottom of the base; The support plate is made of ferromagnetic metal so that it can be attracted to the bottom of the base by the first magnet.
[0007] The adsorption mechanism includes multiple suction cups, which are evenly distributed on the bottom of the base; The support plate has a smooth surface so that it can be attracted to the bottom of the base by the suction cup.
[0008] The support plate includes two first support plates, which are rectangular in shape and can be respectively attached to the bottom sides of the base. The top and bottom of the outer side of the support rod are provided with first placement grooves. The two first placement grooves are arranged opposite each other, and the distance between the two first placement grooves is the same as the length of the first support piece, so that the first support piece can be inserted into the two first placement grooves and fixed.
[0009] The support plate includes two second support plates, each of which includes two sheet-like plates that are rotatably connected to each other. The two second support plates can be adsorbed and fixed to the bottom sides of the base respectively. The bottom of the outer side of the support rod is provided with a second placement groove. The second placement groove is L-shaped and the groove opening faces the same direction. The second support piece can be rotated into an L-shape so that the second support piece can be inserted into the second placement groove and fixed.
[0010] The base includes four support blocks, which are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom of the drainage bottle. There are four support rods, each of which is vertically installed on the top of a support block, and the cross-section of each support rod is L-shaped to fit the side edge of the drainage bottle.
[0011] A telescopic component is provided between every two adjacent support blocks. The telescopic component includes a telescopic rod and a telescopic cylinder. One end of the telescopic rod is slidably connected to the inside of the telescopic cylinder to change the distance between the two adjacent support blocks. The vertical cross-section of the expansion joint is U-shaped; It also includes a fixing component, which is used to fix the spacing between adjacent support blocks.
[0012] The fixing assembly includes a rigid wire and two fixing members. Each support rod has a through hole in the middle, and the rigid wire passes through each through hole in sequence. The two fixing members are fixed to the two ends of the rigid wire to fix the rigid wire.
[0013] The fastener includes a housing, a spring, and a pressing block. One end of the rigid wire is fixedly connected to the housing. The spring is located inside the housing. One end of the pressing block is connected to the spring, and the other end extends to the outside of the housing. The pressing block has a wire hole, and the rigid wire passes through the wire hole after wrapping around once.
[0014] A second magnet is provided on the outer side of the fastener; The support plate is made of ferromagnetic metal so that it can be vertically attracted to the outside of the drainage bottle by the second magnet.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In this invention, the closed thoracic drainage bottle anti-tipping device is equipped with a base, a support rod, a detachable support plate, and an adsorption mechanism. When the drainage bottle needs to be placed, the support plate can be adsorbed horizontally at the bottom of the base, increasing the contact area between the device and the ground, greatly reducing the risk of the drainage bottle tipping over, and avoiding serious complications such as pneumothorax caused by tipping.
[0016] When the patient needs to carry the drainage bottle, the support plate can be detachably and vertically attached to the outside of the drainage bottle, without affecting the patient's movement while carrying the drainage bottle; when it needs to be placed, the support plate can be removed and attached to the bottom of the base, which is easy to operate.
[0017] The base consists of four retractable support blocks. The spacing between adjacent support blocks can be adjusted via telescopic components. Combined with L-shaped support rods, it can accommodate drainage bottles of different sizes and shapes. Rigid wires and fasteners tighten the support rods, ensuring they firmly clamp the drainage bottle. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Reference Figure 1-9 A device for preventing tipping of a closed thoracic drainage bottle is used to assist in fixing the closed thoracic drainage bottle to prevent it from tipping over.
[0025] The anti-tipping device for the closed thoracic drainage bottle includes a base 1, a drainage bottle 3, a support plate, and an adsorption mechanism. The base 1 has multiple support rods 2 on its top. The drainage bottle 3 is placed on the base 1 and positioned between the support rods 2. The base 1 supports the drainage bottle 3, and the support rods 2 clamp and fix the drainage bottle 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the drainage bottle 3.
[0026] In some embodiments, the base 1 includes four support blocks 101, which are respectively disposed at the four corners of the bottom of the drainage bottle 3. Four support rods 2 are provided, each vertically disposed on the top of a support block 101, and each support rod 2 has an L-shaped cross-section. Since the drainage bottle 3 is generally square and vertical, the support rods 2 can conform to the side edges of the drainage bottle 3, further improving the clamping stability of the drainage bottle 3.
[0027] In some embodiments, a telescopic member 102 is provided between every two adjacent support blocks 101. The telescopic member 102 includes a telescopic rod 1021 and a telescopic cylinder 1022. One end of the telescopic rod 1021 is slidably connected to the inside of the telescopic cylinder 1022 to change the distance between two adjacent support blocks 101.
[0028] Since the spacing between each support block 101 can be changed by the telescopic component 102, different shapes and sizes of drainage bottles 3 can be fixed on the base 1, thus improving the applicability of the device.
[0029] In some embodiments, the telescopic member 102 has a concave cross-section. The concave structure enhances the bending resistance of the telescopic member 102, preventing it from bending due to the weight of the drainage bottle 3 during handling, thereby improving the stability of the device.
[0030] In some embodiments, in order to fix the spacing between adjacent support blocks 101, the closed thoracic drainage bottle anti-tipping device further includes a fixing component 5; The fixing component 5 includes a rigid wire 501 and two fixing members 502. Each support rod 2 has a through hole in the middle. The rigid wire 501 passes through each through hole in sequence. The two fixing members 502 are fixed to the two ends of the rigid wire 501 respectively to fix the rigid wire 501.
[0031] In some embodiments, the support block 101, the support rod 2, and the telescopic member 102 connected to the corresponding support block 101 are integrally injection molded.
[0032] In some embodiments, rigid wire 501 can be flexibly understood as wire such as steel wire that has both rigidity and winding characteristics.
[0033] In some embodiments, each support rod 2 has a rigid wire limiting groove on its outer side, which allows the rigid wire 501 to be inserted into the limiting groove, resulting in lower cost compared to the through hole in the middle of the support rod 2.
[0034] In some embodiments, the fastener 502 includes a housing 5021, a spring 5022, and a pressing block 5023. One end of the rigid wire 501 is fixedly connected to the housing 5021. The spring 5022 is located inside the housing 5021. One end of the pressing block 5023 is connected to the spring 5022, and the other end extends to the outside of the housing 5021. The pressing block 5023 is provided with a wire hole 5024. The rigid wire 501 is wrapped around once and then passes through the wire hole 5024.
[0035] The elastic force of the spring 5022 can push the pressing block 5023, which will squeeze the rigid wire 501, thus fixing the rigid wire 501 and ensuring that each support rod 2 is firmly clamped to the outside of the drainage bottle 3.
[0036] The support plate is detachably and vertically attached to one side of the drainage bottle 3, and the adsorption mechanism is located at the bottom of the base 1.
[0037] When moving the drainage bottle 3, the support plate can be installed on the outside of the drainage bottle 3, so as not to affect the patient's walking while carrying the drainage bottle 3. When the patient needs to put down the drainage bottle 3 to rest, the support plate can be removed and the support plate can be horizontally attached to the bottom of the base 1 through the suction mechanism. Then the drainage bottle 3 can be placed on the ground. At this time, the drainage bottle 3 is supported by the support plate, which increases the contact area between the device and the ground and effectively prevents the device from tipping over.
[0038] In some embodiments, the adsorption mechanism includes a plurality of first magnets 103, each support block 101 has a mounting groove at its bottom, the first magnet 103 is disposed inside the mounting groove, the support sheet is made of ferromagnetic metal, and the first magnet 103 can adsorb the support sheet made of ferromagnetic metal, thereby adsorbing and fixing the support sheet to the bottom of the base 1.
[0039] In some embodiments, to reduce the weight of the device, the support sheet is made of plastic, and a ferromagnetic metal sheet is installed only at the corresponding position on the support sheet. This ensures that the support sheet can be fixed by magnetic attraction of the metal sheet, while also reducing the weight of the device and making it easier for the patient to carry the drainage bottle 3.
[0040] In some embodiments, a second magnet 503 is provided on the outer side of the fixing member 502; Because the support sheet is made of ferromagnetic metal, when the support sheet is placed outside the drainage bottle 3, it will come into contact with the second magnet 503 and be vertically attracted to the outside of the drainage bottle 3 by the second magnet 503, effectively preventing the support sheet from falling off when the patient moves the drainage bottle 3.
[0041] In some embodiments, the corners of the support sheet are rounded to prevent the patient from touching and getting cut.
[0042] In some embodiments, the support plate includes two first support plates 6, which are rectangular in shape and can be respectively adsorbed and fixed to the bottom sides of the base 1. This improves the stability of the device when placed on the ground.
[0043] The support rod 2 has a first placement groove 601 at both the top and bottom of its outer side. The two first placement grooves 601 are arranged opposite each other, and the distance between the two first placement grooves 601 is the same as the length of the first support piece 6. When it is necessary to retract the first support piece 6 to the outside of the drainage bottle 3, the first support piece 6 can be inserted horizontally into the two first placement grooves 601 for fixation. At this time, the first placement groove 601 at the bottom fixes the lower edge of the first support piece 6, and the first placement groove 601 at the top fixes the upper edge of the first support piece 6.
[0044] In addition, since the first support piece 6 is sheet-shaped and has a small thickness, it has a certain elastic deformation capability, which makes it easy for the first support piece 6 to be inserted between the two first placement slots 601.
[0045] In some embodiments, the adsorption mechanism includes a plurality of suction cups, each suction cup being disposed at the bottom of a support block 101. The surface of the support plate is smooth, which allows the support plate to be adsorbed by the suction cups to the bottom of the base 1, thereby increasing the contact area between the device and the ground and effectively preventing the device from tipping over.
[0046] In some embodiments, the support plate includes two second support plates 7, each second support plate 7 including two sheet-like plates rotatably connected to each other, the sheet-like plates being rotatably connected by a rotating shaft 702, and the two second support plates 7 being respectively adsorbed and fixed to the bottom sides of the base 1.
[0047] In some embodiments, a second placement groove 701 is provided at the bottom of the outer side of the support rod 2. The second placement groove 701 is L-shaped and the groove opening faces the same direction.
[0048] When the second support plate 7 is attached and fixed to the outside of the drainage bottle 3 for placement and storage, the second support plate 7 can be rotated into an L-shape and then placed on the edge of the drainage bottle 3, so that the second support plate 7 can be vertically inserted into the L-shaped second placement groove 701.
[0049] When the second support plate 7 is attached to the bottom sides of the base 1, the two rotatably connected sheet plates can be rotated and unfolded to make them flat, and each support block 101 attaches and fixes one sheet plate. The unfolding and attaching design of the second support plate 7 can fit the square design of the drainage bottle 3 for easy unfolding and retraction, and can further increase the area of the second support plate 7, thereby increasing the contact area between the device and the ground and improving the stability of the device on the ground.
[0050] In some embodiments, the adsorption mechanism includes a plurality of inserts, which are disposed on a support plate. The bottom of the support plate 101 is provided with a slot corresponding to the insert, so that the insert can be inserted into the slot, thereby fixing the support plate to the bottom of the base 1 to increase the contact area between the device and the ground.
[0051] In some embodiments, to facilitate the patient's movement while carrying the drainage bottle 3, the anti-tipping device for the closed chest drainage bottle also includes a handle 4; The handle 4 includes multiple connecting rods 401 and an arc-shaped rod 402. The lower end of each connecting rod 401 is rotatably connected to the upper end of a support rod 2. The upper ends of two adjacent connecting rods 401 are rotatably connected and connected to one end of the arc-shaped rod 402. The combination of two mutually rotatably connected connecting rods 401 forms an inverted V shape. When the patient moves, the arc-shaped rod 402 can be carried to move the drainage bottle 3. Furthermore, the arc-shaped rod 402 is subjected to upward force, pulling the connecting rods 401, causing the lower ends of the connecting rods 401 to move closer together. This causes the upper ends of adjacent support rods 2 to move closer together and be subjected to force, thereby improving the stability of the support rods 2 in holding the drainage bottle 3.
[0052] In some embodiments, a hook is provided on the curved rod 402. When the patient is in bed, the drainage bottle 3 can be hung on the side of the bed via the hook.
[0053] The working principle of the anti-tipping device for closed chest drainage bottles: In use, first adjust the base 1 according to the size of the drainage bottle 3, pull each support block 101 to make the telescopic rod 1021 slide inside the telescopic cylinder 1022, change the spacing between adjacent support blocks 101 until the L-shaped support rod 2 fits against the four side edges of the drainage bottle 3. Then, pull the two fixing parts 502 away from each other. Since the rigid wire 501 is fixed at both ends to the two fixing parts 502 after wrapping around each support rod 2, pulling the fixing parts 502 can tighten the rigid wire 501, thereby causing the rigid wire 501 to further drive each support rod 2 to close together in the middle and clamp the drainage bottle 3.
[0054] When the patient needs to carry the drainage bottle 3 while moving outside the ward, the support piece is vertically attached to the outside of the drainage bottle 3. For the first support piece 6, it is inserted and fixed between the upper and lower first placement slots 601 on the outside of the support rod 2; for the second support piece 7, it is rotated into an L-shape and then inserted into the second placement slot 701. At the same time, the second magnet 503 on the outside of the fixing piece 502 attracts the ferromagnetic metal support piece to prevent it from falling off. The patient can then carry the drainage bottle and walk.
[0055] When the patient needs to sit down to rest and the drainage bottle 3 is placed on the ground, first remove the support piece from the outside of the drainage bottle 3. If using a magnetic suction method, place the support piece at the bottom of the base 1, and the first magnet 103 at the bottom of the base 1 will horizontally attract and fix the support piece. If using a suction cup, the support piece will be horizontally attracted and fixed to the bottom of the base 1 using the suction cup. The support piece significantly increases the contact area between the device and the ground, thereby effectively preventing the drainage bottle 3 from tipping over. After being placed securely, the patient can rest with peace of mind, and the drainage bottle 3 remains upright, ensuring the effectiveness of closed chest drainage.
[0056] After use or when the drainage bottle 3 needs to be replaced, press the pressing block 5023 of the fixing part 502. The spring 5022 is compressed. At this time, the pressing block 5023 releases the rigid wire 501, and the rigid wire 501 is unlocked, so that the drainage bottle 3 can be easily taken out and the components can be stored for later use.
[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
