[0022] It should also be noted that in the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances. When a specific device is described as being located between a first device and a second device, there may or may not be an intermediate device between the specific device and the first device or the second device.

[0023] See also Figure 1 On the one hand, the embodiment of the utility model provides a microwave duct, including a tube body 1, a radiation end 5 connected to the tube body 1, and a conductive member 7 penetrating the tube body 1 and electrically connected to the radiation end 5, wherein the radiation end 5 is connected to the tube body 1 through a connector, and the connector includes a plugging portion 2, an inserting portion 3, and a connecting tube 4. The plugging portion 2 is used to seal the port of the tube body 1, and the inserting portion 3 is arranged on the side of the plugging portion 2 facing the tube body 1 and inserted into the port of the tube body 1. The connecting tube 4 is arranged on the side of the plugging portion 2 facing away from the tube body 1, and the radiation end 5 is partially accommodated in the connecting tube 4, and a heat insulation layer 6 is arranged between the radiation end 5 and the plugging portion 2.

[0024] The tube body 1 is a component for moving the radiation end 5 .

[0025] The specific structure of the radiation end 5 and the working principle of medical treatment are well known to those skilled in the art. The technical solution of the present application is not to improve the structure of the radiation end 5 to improve its medical effect, so they will not be repeated here.

[0026] The conduit member is a component used to supply energy to the radiation end 5 .

[0027] The sealing portion 2 seals the tube body 1 so that the end of the tube body 1 connected to the radiation end 5 is in a closed state, so that the cooling medium in the tube body 1 will not leak.

[0028] The sealing portion 2 and the end of the tube body 1 can be bonded.

[0029] The inserting portion 3 is inserted into the port of the tube body 1 , which, on the one hand, increases the connection strength between the connector and the tube body 1 , and on the other hand, improves the sealing effect on the tube body 1 .

[0030] The connecting tube 4 is used to install and fix the radiation end 5. The connecting tube 4 and the radiation end 5 can be interference fit so that the radiation end 5 can remain inserted in the connecting tube 4, or the inner wall of the connecting tube 4 and / or the outer wall of the radiation end 5 can be respectively provided with an adhesive layer to bond the radiation end 5 to the connecting tube 4.

[0031] The heat insulation layer 6 can isolate the heat, thereby reducing the risk of heat from the radiation end 5 being transferred to the tube body 1 and causing the temperature of the tube body 1 to be too high.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the connecting piece can block the pipe body 1 through the insertion portion 3 and the blocking portion 2, and can connect the radiation end 5 to the pipe body 1 through the connecting tube 4, thereby improving the sealing of the pipe body 1 and the connection strength between the radiation end 5 and the pipe body 1. In addition, the connecting tube 4 contains a heat insulation layer 6, which reduces the risk of heat transfer from the radiation end 5 to the pipe body 1, causing the temperature of the pipe body 1 to be too high.

[0033] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, a circumferential wall surface of the insertion portion 3 is provided with a protrusion, and an inner wall surface of the tube body 1 is provided with a recessed portion adapted to the protrusion.

[0034] When the inserting portion 3 is inserted into the end of the tube body 1 , the protruding portion is accommodated in the recessed portion.

[0035] The cooperation between the protruding portion and the recessed portion reduces the risk of the insertion portion 3 escaping from the tube body 1 and improves the blocking effect of the insertion portion 3 on the tube body 1 .

[0036] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the protrusion is in the shape of a frustum.

[0037] The small diameter side of the protrusion is arranged on the side of the large diameter side away from the end of the tube body 1 .

[0038] The protruding portion is in a frustum shape, which facilitates the insertion portion 3 to be inserted into the end of the tube body 1.

[0039] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the wall thickness of the connecting tube 4 gradually decreases from the side close to the blocking portion 2 to the side away from the blocking portion 2.

[0040] The wall thickness of the connecting tube 4 gradually decreases, so that the side of the connecting tube 4 close to the radiation end 5 can smoothly transition to the outer wall surface of the radiation end 5, reducing the risk of the connecting tube 4 causing scratches to the human body.

[0041] See also Figure 1In some embodiments, the insertion portion 3 is provided with a through hole, the through hole connects the tube body 1 and the connecting tube 4, and the through hole is used for the conductive member 7 to pass through.

[0042] Under the effect of the through hole, after the tube body 1 is closed by the connecting piece, the conductive piece 7 can be connected to the radiation end 5 to supply energy to the radiation end 5 .

[0043] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments, the inserting portion 3 is provided with a sealing portion 8, and the sealing portion 8 is provided around the port of the through hole.

[0044] The sealing portion 8 can seal the gap between the conductive member 7 and the inner wall of the through hole, thereby reducing the risk of the cooling medium in the tube body 1 leaking out of the tube body 1 .

[0045] The sealing part 8 is arranged around the port of the through hole to achieve sealing. Compared with the arrangement of the sealing part 8 in the through hole, the advantage is that the conductive member 7 can pass through the through hole without hindrance, reducing the risk of damage to the conductive member 7. If the sealing part 8 is arranged in the through hole, in order to make the sealing part 8 play a sealing role, the conductive member 7 and the sealing part 8 form an interference fit, and under the limiting effect of the inner wall of the through hole, the friction between the conductive member 7 and the sealing part 8 is relatively large. When the conductive member 7 passes through the through hole, it is necessary to use a large force to pull the conductive member 7, increasing the risk of the conductive member 7 breaking. In addition, it is not convenient to install and replace the sealing part 8 when the sealing part 8 is arranged in the through hole.

[0046] In some embodiments, the material of the sealing portion 8 includes rubber.

[0047] The rubber can produce elastic deformation, and the gap between the conductive member 7 and the through hole can be reliably sealed by the rubber.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present application, the sealing portion 8 is annularly arranged around the through-hole port. In the initial state, the radius of the side of the sealing portion 8 away from the through-hole port is smaller than the radius of the conductive part 7, so that an interference fit can be formed between the sealing portion 8 and the conductive part 7, thereby improving the sealing effect of the sealing portion 8.

[0049] See also Figure 2 On the other hand, an embodiment of the present application also provides a microwave medical device, including the microwave catheter in the above embodiment.

[0050] In some embodiments, a cooling medium channel 9 is provided in the tube body 1, and the microwave medical device also includes a handle, which is provided with a liquid inlet channel 10 and a liquid outlet channel 11, the liquid inlet channel 10 is connected to the inlet section of the cooling medium channel 9, and the liquid outlet channel 11 is connected to the outlet end of the cooling medium channel 9.

[0051] The cooling medium channel 9 is used to cool the tube body 1 .

[0052] The handle is used for medical personnel to hold it in hand.

[0053] The liquid inlet channel 10 is used to input the cooling medium into the cooling medium channel 9 , and the liquid outlet channel 11 is used to output the cooling medium discharged from the cooling medium channel 9 .

[0054] Under the action of the liquid inlet channel 10 and the liquid outlet channel 11, the cooling medium in the tube body 1 can circulate, thereby improving the cooling effect.

[0055] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the handle portion is provided with a first switch portion 14, and the first switch portion 14 is used to open and close the liquid inlet channel 10, and the handle portion is provided with a second switch portion 15, and the second switch portion 15 is used to open and close the liquid outlet channel 11.

[0056] The first switch portion 14 may include a first plate body, which is rotatably connected to the handle portion, and a torsion spring is arranged between the first plate body and the handle portion. When no cooling medium is input into the liquid inlet channel 10, the first plate body is covered on the outlet end of the liquid inlet channel 10 under the action of the torsion spring. When cooling medium is input into the liquid inlet channel 10, the cooling medium pushes the first plate body to rotate, so that the cooling medium in the liquid inlet channel 10 can enter the tube body 1.

[0057] Similarly, the second switch portion 15 may include a second plate body, which is rotatably connected to the handle portion, and a torsion spring is arranged between the second plate body and the handle portion. When no cooling medium is input into the liquid inlet channel 10, the second plate body is covered on the outlet end of the liquid outlet channel 11 under the action of the torsion spring. When cooling medium is input into the liquid inlet channel 10, the cooling medium in the tube body 1 is pushed to flow, and the cooling medium discharged from the tube body 1 further pushes the cooling medium in the liquid outlet channel 11 to flow, so that the second plate body rotates, so that the liquid outlet channel 11 can discharge the cooling medium.

[0058] Under the action of the first switch part 14 and the second switch part 15, when an external device that inputs cooling medium to the liquid inlet channel 10 fails, the first switch part 14 and the second switch part 15 can close the liquid inlet channel 10 and the liquid outlet channel 11 to ensure that the cooling medium is contained in the tube body 1 to play a cooling role, thereby reducing the risk of overheating of the tube body 1 due to the lack of cooling medium.

[0059] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the handle portion may be provided with a buffer cavity 12 , the liquid inlet channel 10 and the cooling medium channel 9 of the tube body 1 are connected through the buffer cavity 12 , and the buffer cavity 12 is provided with a liquid adding channel 13 .

[0060] The liquid adding channel 13 is initially in a closed state. When an external device that inputs cooling medium into the liquid inlet channel 10 fails, the liquid inlet channel 10 is closed through the first switch unit 14. At this time, the cooling medium can continue to be input into the tube body 1 through the liquid adding channel 13, reducing the risk of overheating of the tube body 1.

[0061] The above embodiments are only descriptions of the preferred methods of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various deformations, modifications, and substitutions made by ordinary technicians in this field to the technical solutions of the present invention should all fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
