[0028]

Embodiment 1

[0029] A visual laryngeal mask, as Figure 1 , includes a main tube 2, an inflation balloon 3, a camera 12 and a camera fixing device 13. Specifically, it further includes a machine end interface 1 connected to the main tube 2. A visual cavity 4 for the camera 12 to pass through is provided in the main tube 2. In this embodiment, the ventilation tube 5 can also extend through the visual cavity 4. An air vent joint 6 is installed at the operating end of the ventilation tube 5. A drainage cavity 7, an inflation tube 8, and a one-way valve 9 connected to the inflation tube 8 are also provided in the main tube 2. The air vent joint 6 and the one-way valve 9 are connected to an external syringe or other devices, and the machine end interface 1 is connected to a ventilator or an anesthesia machine. An air injection hole 11 is provided on the inflation balloon 3. This part of the structure is similar to the existing laryngeal mask structure and can be adaptively changed according to the usage scenario.

[0030] In this solution, the convenient adjustment of the camera 12 and the effect of fixing the visualization direction are mainly achieved by the head end direction control structure of the camera 12 and the camera fixing device 13. As Figure 2 , the visual cavity 4 extends to the position of the inflation balloon 3, and a transparent lens 10 is provided at the opening at the patient end. A bending channel is provided at the patient end position of the visual cavity 4. The bending channel is used to accommodate the head end of the camera 12, and the head end direction of the camera 12 is controlled through the bending channel. After the position and posture of the camera 12 are adjusted, the camera 12 is fixed by the camera fixing device 13.

[0031] Specifically, the camera 12 and the visual cavity 4 cooperate with each other. The camera 12 is an external component. During the use of the imaging function, the camera 12 is passed through the visual cavity 4 to reach the position of the lens 10. The lens 10 is completely transparent and does not affect the effect of the camera 12. At the same time, the tail end of the camera is externally connected to the screen end, and the real-time physiological condition is observed by adjusting the direction of the camera 12.

[0032] The bending channel can be formed by adjusting the shape of the visual cavity 4 or by adding a structure in the visual cavity 4. In this embodiment, the air vent pipe 5 and the visual cavity 4 change along with the change of the main pipe 2. The visual cavity 4 is bent on one side close to the lens 10, and this bend forms an angle with the lens 10. This angle plays an important role in fixing the head end of the camera 12. For example Figure 2 , 90° < φ1 < 180°. When the angle φ1 is between 120° and 150°, a better effect is achieved, and it is necessary to control the bending length D1 of the camera along the patient end within 10 mm. Under the control of this angle and size, the length of the camera along the axial direction of the lens during use is controlled within 20 mm. This can effectively control the direction of the head end of the camera and also plays an important role in fixing the direction of the lens end of the camera, reducing the influence of other factors on the fixed camera.

[0033] The camera fixing device 13 is used to finally fix the position and direction of the camera so that it does not move at all. Specifically, the camera fixing device 13 includes a position fixing component and an angle fixing component, which are respectively used to fix the position and angle of the camera 12.

[0034] In this embodiment, a tensioning component is used to fix the position of the camera 12. The tensioning component uses the extrusion of the camera 12 and the main pipe 2 to achieve the fixing effect of the camera 12. The tensioning component can be set separately or can be set on the camera 12 or the main pipe 2. When fixing is required, the tensioning component is installed between the camera 12 and the main pipe 2, and the fixing is achieved by using the extrusion force.

[0035] In this solution, an embodiment of the tensioning component is provided. For example Figure 3 , the tensioning component includes a movable moving ring 13-2 and a pressing ring 13-3 sleeved on the camera 12. The moving ring 13-2 can move into the visual cavity 4 and is in interference fit with the visual cavity 4. The pressing ring 13-3 is sleeved on the moving ring to apply pressure to the moving ring 13-2 to make the moving ring 13-2 hold the camera 12 tightly. Further, deformation notches are provided on the moving ring 13-2 to facilitate the deformation of the moving ring after the pressing ring 13-3 is sleeved on the moving ring 13-2.

[0036] For example Figure 3, the angle fixing component includes a fixing block 13-1 and a card slot 1-1. The fixing block 13-1 is connected to the moving ring 13-2, and the card slot 1-1 is used to accommodate the fixing block 13-1 to fix the angle of the moving ring 13-2.

[0037] During use, after confirming the direction and position of the camera, insert the protrusion of the fixing block 13-1 into the card slot 1-1. After insertion, move the pressing ring 13-3 along the direction of the camera towards the moving ring 13-2 and press it tightly. At this time, the moving ring 13-2 and the pressing ring 13-3 firmly wrap the camera inside and cooperate with the fixing block 13-1 and the card slot 1-1 to completely fix the position of the camera.

[0038] It should be noted that the angle fixing component is not limited to the method in this solution, as long as it can control the camera from rotating after being fixed.

[0039] Optionally, an anti-loss mechanism is provided on the camera 12 to prevent the loss of the camera fixing device 13. The anti-loss mechanism includes a fixing ring 13-4 provided on the camera. The diameter of the fixing ring 13-4 should be greater than the diameters of the inner holes of the pressing ring 13-3 and the moving ring 13-2 to prevent the pressing ring 13-3 and the moving ring 13-2 from slipping out and being lost from the operating end of the camera 12. The anti-loss mechanism also includes a connecting line 13-5. The connecting line 13-5 connects the fixing ring 13-4 and the moving ring 13-2. The pressing ring 13-3 is located between the fixing ring 13-4 and the moving ring 13-2. The connecting line 13-5 is used to limit the moving distance of the moving ring 13-2 on the camera 12 to prevent the pressing ring 13-3 and the moving ring 13-2 from moving too far towards the head end of the camera 12 on the camera 12 for easy operation. The connecting line 13-5 can be connected to the moving ring 13-2 or the fixing block 13-1.

[0040] This camera fixing device is used in combination with the design of the visual cavity lens end to effectively fix the direction and position of the camera, reduce other external interferences during general anesthesia of the patient, and enable the display connected to the camera to display the expected physiological position in real time.

[0041] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above description and the embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The object of the present invention has been completely and effectively achieved. The function and structural principle of the present invention have been shown and described in the embodiments. Without departing from the said principle, the embodiments of the present invention can have any deformation and modification.
