[0026] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0027] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0028] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The term "in one embodiment" that appears in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 3, which is the first embodiment of the utility model, and provides a catheter neck fixing device, including a fixing unit 100, including a neck fixing ring 101, which is arc-shaped, and the front end of the neck fixing ring 101 is connected to a neck adjustment ring 102, and the two form an elliptical ring, and the neck fixing ring 101 and the main body of the neck fixing ring 101 are made of medical silicone, which has the characteristic of micro-deformation;

[0031] The limiting unit 200 includes a limiting lever 201 rotatably connected to the neck fixing ring 101 , which is arranged on both ends of the side of the neck fixing ring 101 . A limiting torsion spring 202 is also arranged at the rear end of the limiting lever 201 , which connects the neck fixing ring 101 and the limiting lever 201 .

[0032] Furthermore, the inner side of the neck fixing ring 101 is a slightly convex arc surface in the middle, so that it fits the patient's neck more closely. Fixed engaging teeth 101a are provided at both ends of its outer side surface, and connecting holes 101b are provided at both ends of the bottom surface and the top surface. The inclined surface of the fixed engaging teeth 101a points to the end of the neck fixing ring 101.

[0033] Furthermore, adjusting engaging teeth 102a are extended from both ends of the outer side surface of the neck adjustment ring 102, which are connected and cooperated with the fixed engaging teeth 101a. The adjusting engaging teeth 102a are consistent in length with the fixed engaging teeth 101a. When the adjusting engaging teeth 102a are fully engaged with the fixed engaging teeth 101a, the neck fixing ring 101 and the neck adjusting ring 102 are completely in conflict.

[0034] Furthermore, the upper and lower ends of the limit lever 201 are L-shaped rotating rods 201a, and the side ends of the L-shaped rotating rod 201a are provided with connecting rods 201b, which are arranged in the connecting hole 101b and are rotatably connected to the neck fixing ring 101.

[0035] Furthermore, the limiting torsion spring 202 is arranged around the connecting rod 201b, with its lower end fixed in the connecting hole 101b and its upper end connected to the L-shaped rotating rod 201a. In the natural state, the limiting torsion spring 202 provides a torque for the limiting lever 201 to fit the neck fixing ring 101.

[0036] When in use, place the neck fixing ring 101 on the back of the patient's neck, then place the neck adjusting ring 102, extend the adjusting engaging tooth 102a into the limiting lever 201 and engage with the fixed engaging tooth 101a to adjust the tightness of the device so that it fits the patient's neck to complete the installation; when it needs to be removed, push the limiting lever 201 outward to loosen the limit on the adjusting engaging tooth 102a, and then slightly open the adjusting engaging tooth 102a to both sides to take out the neck adjusting ring 102 to complete the disassembly.

[0037] In summary, the neck fixing ring 101 and the neck adjusting ring 102 cooperate to enable the device to adapt to different patients. The engaging state is adjusted by the limiting unit 200, and installation and disassembly can be achieved quickly and conveniently.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the utility model, is based on the previous embodiment and provides a catheter neck fixing device, further comprising a catheter fixing unit 300, including a catheter fixing plate 301, which is connected to the neck fixing ring 101, and a locking rod 302 and a locking spring 303 are also provided on the inner side of the catheter fixing plate 301.

[0040] Furthermore, a catheter positioning hole 101c is provided on one side of the neck fixing ring 101 near the end, a telescopic groove 101d is provided on the side wall of the catheter positioning hole 101c, and a locking groove 101e is provided on the outer side wall of the neck fixing ring 101 near the catheter positioning hole 101c.

[0041] Furthermore, the catheter fixing plate 301 is arranged on the front side of the neck fixing ring 101, and fits the neck fixing ring 101, and cooperates with the catheter positioning hole 101c. It is a double-layer plate. The rear side plate of the catheter fixing plate 301 is the telescopic plate 301a, which is arranged in the telescopic groove 101d. The catheter fixing plate 301 can be adjusted along the telescopic groove 101d.

[0042] Furthermore, a locking rod groove 301b is provided on the inner side of the catheter fixing plate 301, which penetrates the catheter fixing plate 301, and the inner opening of the locking rod groove 301b is opposite to the locking groove 101e. When the catheter fixing plate 301 completely covers the catheter positioning hole 101c, the inner opening of the locking rod groove 301b coincides with the locking groove 101e.

[0043] Furthermore, the locking rod 302 is rotatably disposed in the locking rod slot 301b, and its front end extends out of the front opening of the locking rod slot 301b. One end of the locking spring 303 is fixed to the inner wall of the locking rod slot 301b, and the other end is connected to the locking rod 302.

[0044] During use, when installing the neck fixing ring 101, the catheter positioning hole 101c is aligned with the catheter suture fixing end. After the installation is completed, the catheter fixing plate 301 is pushed to make the rear end of the locking rod 302 cooperate with the locking groove 101e to limit the catheter fixing plate 301. At this time, the catheter fixing plate 301 completely closes the catheter positioning hole 101c to protect the catheter suture fixing end; when it is necessary to observe the catheter suture fixing end, the front end of the locking rod 302 is pressed to make the rear end of the locking rod 302 disengage from the locking groove 101e, release the limitation of the catheter fixing plate 301, and push the catheter fixing plate 301 to open the catheter positioning hole 101c.

[0045] In summary, by designing the catheter fixing plate 301, it is convenient to protect the catheter suture end while observing and monitoring it at any time.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] Reference Figure 1-2 , which is the third embodiment of the utility model. Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides a catheter neck fixing device, wherein a Velcro 301c is fixedly provided on the outer side of the catheter fixing plate 301, a circular groove 301c-1 is provided in the middle of the Velcro 301c, and catheter fixing adhesive tapes 301d are provided on both ends of the outer side of the Velcro 301c, and a sponge pad layer is provided on the inner side of one of the catheter fixing adhesive tapes 301d.

[0048] When in use, the catheter is placed in the circular groove 301c-1, and then the catheter fixing adhesive tapes 301d on both sides are sequentially adhered to fix the catheter, thereby completing the placement of the catheter.
