[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tracheotomy tubes, in particular to an anti-tracheotomy airway blockage alarm device. Background Art

[0002] After tracheotomy, it is necessary to intubate the patient's trachea to help the patient breathe or expectorate phlegm;

[0003] After retrieval, in the application document with the patent application number 202320293881.5, a tracheotomy tube is disclosed, which includes an intubation tube; a tube core is inserted into the top of the intubation tube. An opening is provided on one side of the tube core, a chute is arranged on the inner edge of the opening, a sliding plate is slidably connected to the opening through the chute, a circular groove is provided at one end of the tube core away from the intubation tube, and a sealing plug is arranged in the circular groove; a sputum suction tube can penetrate through the sealing plug and be inserted into the tube core. One end of the sputum suction tube outside the tube core is provided with a connecting sleeve, and one end of the sputum suction tube inside the tube core is provided with a guiding tube; through the intubation tube, the tracheotomy tube is convenient to be inserted and matched with the patient's trachea. With the cooperation of the tube core and the intubation tube, the opening at the outer end of the inner core of the tube core is changed to face one side, and with the cooperation of the sealing plug, it can play a role in clamping the oxygen tube during daily oxygen inhalation treatment to prevent it from slipping off. At the same time, when the patient is in a lying position, the opening is located on the side, which is beneficial to preventing foreign objects from falling into it. A sliding plate is arranged at the opening, which can seal the opening during the plugging tube training to ensure airtightness;

[0004] The above application document ensures airtightness and protection through the setting of the tube body. However, for many existing clinical vegetative patients, due to their inability to move on their own, once the airway is blocked and the nurse fails to discover it in time, there is a high risk of suffocation.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the embodiments of the present utility model provide a technical solution: an anti-tracheotomy airway blockage alarm, including a tracheotomy end tube 1, and an outer tube assembly 2 is threadedly sleeved on the outer end of the tracheotomy end tube 1; the outer tube assembly 2 includes a front sleeve 21, an intermediate sleeve 22 and a tail sleeve 23; card slots 221 adapted to the specifications of the front sleeve 21 and the tail sleeve 23 are provided on the front and rear side walls of the intermediate sleeve 22, a spacer plate 222 is fixedly installed inside the intermediate sleeve 22, and air holes 223 in a filling shape are provided on the spacer plate 222; an air flow sensor 231 is fixedly installed inside the tail sleeve 23, and an alarm 232 communicated with the air flow sensor 231 is fixedly installed on the top of the tail sleeve 23;

[0032] Among them, for this anti-tracheotomy airway blockage alarm, through the settings of the components in the outer tube assembly 2 at the outer end of the tracheotomy end tube 1, the air flow sensor 231 in the tail sleeve 23 can be used to monitor the air flow flowing inside it in real time, and the alarm 232 ensures the alarm effect, solving the problem that the blockage of the existing tube body is not discovered in time and thus easily leads to the suffocation of vegetative patients.

[0033] Embodiment 2:

[0034] External threads 11 are provided on the outer end wall of the tracheotomy end tube 1, and internal threads 211 adapted to the specifications of the external threads 11 are provided on the inner side wall of the front sleeve 21 at its front end; among them, the settings of the external threads 11 and the internal threads 211 facilitate the threaded sleeving of the front sleeve 21 and the outer tube assembly 2 on the outer end of the tracheotomy end tube 1, facilitating its disassembly and assembly.

[0035] The thickness of the intermediate sleeve 22 is twice the thickness of the front sleeve 21 and the intermediate sleeve 22, and the width of the groove body of the upper card slot 221 is four-fifths of the thickness of the front sleeve 21 and the intermediate sleeve 22; among them, the setting of the thickness of the intermediate sleeve 22 facilitates the clamping of the front sleeve 21 and the tail sleeve 23 on the front and rear sides of the intermediate sleeve 22, and also facilitates subsequent disassembly and assembly.

[0036] The inner side wall of the tail sleeve 23 is fixedly connected with an air flow sensor 231 located at the exact center inside it through six groups of soft rubber hoses; among them, the setting of the position of the air flow sensor 231 can ensure the monitoring of the air flow circulation effect on the periphery and also ensure its stability.

[0037] The tail sleeve 23 includes a straight tube part and a funnel tube part, and the air flow sensor 231 and the alarm 232 are respectively arranged on the inner side and the outer wall of the straight tube part; among them, the setting of the tail sleeve 23 facilitates the input of a relatively large air volume to ensure the air supply effect.

[0038] A cotton mesh filter layer 233 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the outer end of the funnel tube part in the tail sleeve 23; among them, the setting of the cotton mesh filter layer 233 can filter the input air flow to avoid the entry of impurities into the patient's respiratory tract.

[0039] In addition, for this anti-tracheotomy airway blockage alarm, through the clamping setting between the intermediate sleeve 22 and the front sleeve 21 and the tail sleeve 23, it is convenient for its disassembly and assembly, and the spacer plate 222 and the air holes 223 ensure the air flow situation to block phlegm, and it can be directly disassembled and cleaned, with simple operation and strong practicability.

[0040] Working principle and usage process of the utility model: When the tracheotomy tube is working, the outer tube assembly 2 is threadedly sleeved on the tracheotomy end tube 1 at the outer end of the tracheotomy tube. At this time, the front sleeve 21 and the tail sleeve 23 are clamped on the front and back sides of the middle sleeve 22. When the patient breathes, the cotton mesh filter layer 233 filters the airflow and conveys it to the inside of the tracheotomy tube. At this time, the airflow passes through the airflow sensor 231, which monitors it in real time to ensure the airflow circulation state. Once there is no airflow circulation, the alarm 232 issues an alarm to prompt the nurse to clean the blockage. When the patient coughs and drives the phlegm to block the air hole 223 in the middle sleeve 22, causing the tube body to be blocked, the nurse directly pulls out the middle sleeve 22 externally to separate it from the front sleeve 21, and then can directly clean the phlegm accumulated on the backing plate 222. The structure is simple and the working efficiency is high.

[0041] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the utility model. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the utility model. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.

[0042] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described according to embodiments, not every embodiment only contains an independent technical solution. This narrative way of the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
