[0002] An anal dilator is a commonly used medical appliance. When in use, it is inserted into the patient's anus for anal dilation, and is mainly used for anorectal medical examinations and surgical treatments.
[0003] The patent with the application number "2015101153174" discloses an "anal dilator". Its disadvantage is that it does not have a self-locking function, and continuous manual pressure needs to be applied by medical staff to prevent the anal dilator from closing, resulting in a relatively high labor intensity and inconvenient use. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an anal dilator with a locking function.
[0005] The technical solution of the utility model to solve the above technical problem is as follows: An anal dilator includes an outer ring. An inner ring is rotatably installed inside the outer ring. A plurality of through grooves are evenly formed on the end face of the outer ring around the axis, and the length direction of each through groove points to the center of the outer ring. A cross bar slides in the through groove. On the end face of the inner ring, a plurality of guiding grooves corresponding to the through grooves one by one are evenly formed around the axis. The guiding groove and the through groove form an included angle. On the side of the cross bar facing the center of the outer ring, a guiding rod is fixedly connected. The guiding rod slides in the guiding groove. On the side of the cross bar away from the outer ring, an anal dilating rod is fixedly connected.
[0006] On the inner circumference of the outer ring, ratchet teeth are evenly arranged. On the outer circumferential wall of the inner ring, a receiving groove is formed. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed in the receiving groove. The axis of the rotating shaft is parallel to the axis of the inner ring. On the outer circumferential wall of the rotating shaft, a connecting plate is fixedly connected. At the end of the connecting plate away from the rotating shaft, a ratchet pawl is fixedly connected. The ratchet pawl meshes with the ratchet teeth. A torsion spring is sleeved on the rotating shaft. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential wall of the rotating shaft, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving groove.
[0007] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the rotation of the inner ring drives the cross bar to slide, and the cross bar drives the anal dilating rod to open to realize anal dilation. Medical staff can perform medical work through the holes inside the inner ring. The ratchet pawl meshes with the ratchet teeth, having a locking function, preventing the inner ring from reversing and the anal dilating rod from automatically resetting, being convenient to use and reducing the labor intensity of medical staff.
[0008] Based on the above technical solutions, the utility model can be further improved as follows.
[0009] Further, an arc-shaped sliding groove corresponding to the position of the storage groove is formed on the end surface of the inner ring away from the cross bar. The arc-shaped sliding groove communicates with the storage groove. An arc-shaped sliding block is slidably arranged in the arc-shaped sliding groove. One end of the arc-shaped sliding block facing the storage groove is fixedly connected with a driving inclined block.

[0027] The principles and features of the present utility model will be described below in conjunction with the attached drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Embodiment 1
[0029] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, an anal dilator includes an outer ring 1, an inner ring 2 is rotatably installed inside the outer ring 1, a plurality of through grooves 3 are evenly formed on the end face of the outer ring 1 around the axis, the length directions of the through grooves 3 all point to the center of the outer ring 1, a cross bar 4 is slidably located in the through groove 3, a guide groove 5 corresponding to the through groove 3 one by one is evenly formed on the end face of the inner ring 2 around the axis, the guide groove 5 forms an angle with the through groove 3, a guide rod 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the cross bar 4 facing the center of the outer ring 1, the guide rod 6 is slidably located in the guide groove 5, and an anal dilator rod 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the cross bar 4 away from the outer ring 1;
[0030] Ratchet teeth 8 are evenly arranged on the inner circumference of the outer ring 1, a receiving groove 9 is formed on the outer circumferential wall of the inner ring 2, a rotating shaft 10 is rotatably installed in the receiving groove 9, the axis of the rotating shaft 10 is parallel to the axis of the inner ring 2, a connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential wall of the rotating shaft 10, a pawl 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting plate 11 away from the rotating shaft 10, the pawl 12 meshes with the ratchet teeth 8, a torsion spring 13 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 10, one end of the torsion spring 13 is fixedly connected to the outer circumferential wall of the rotating shaft 10, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 9.
[0031] The beneficial effect of this embodiment is that the rotation of the inner ring 2 drives the cross bar 4 to slide, the cross bar 4 drives the anal dilator rod 7 to open to achieve anal dilation, medical staff can perform medical work through the hole inside the inner ring 2, the pawl 12 meshes with the ratchet teeth 8, which has a locking function to prevent the inner ring 2 from reversing and the anal dilator rod 7 from automatically resetting, is easy to use, and reduces the labor intensity of medical staff.
[0032] Specifically, when anal dilation is required, insert the anal dilation rod 7 of this device into the patient's anus, and then pinch the outer ring 1 to rotate the inner ring 2. The inner ring 2 and the outer ring 1 are coaxial. As Figure 5 shown, the counterclockwise direction of the inner ring 2 is defined as the forward rotation;
[0033] When the inner ring 2 rotates counterclockwise, it drives the guide groove 5 to generate a spatial displacement within the outer ring 1. The guide groove 5 drives the guide rod 6 to slide. Since the guide groove 5 on the inner ring 2 and the through groove 3 are at an angle, when the guide rod 6 slides within the guide groove 5, its spatial position continuously moves away from the center of the inner ring 2. The guide rod 6 drives the cross bar 4 to slide towards the side away from the center of the outer ring 1, thereby realizing the mutual separation of multiple anal dilation rods 7 and completing anal dilation;
[0034] Because the pawl 12 is triangular in shape, usually one side of the ratchet tooth 8 is a bevel and the other side is a vertical surface. When the bevel surface of the pawl 12 moves along the bevel surface direction of the ratchet tooth 8, the inner ring 2 can rotate freely. However, when reverse rotation is desired, the vertical surface of the ratchet tooth 8 hooks the pawl 12 to prevent the inner ring 2 from reversing and the anal dilation rod 7 from automatically resetting during use. During anal dilation, it is not necessary for medical staff to continuously apply force to the inner ring 2, reducing the labor intensity.
[0035] When reverse rotation of the inner ring 2 and resetting of the anal dilation rod 7 are required, manually push aside the pawl 12 to disengage the pawl 12 and the ratchet tooth 8, and then the inner ring 2 can be rotated in reverse.
[0036] Embodiment 2
[0037] As Figures 4 to 5 shown, preferably, on the basis of Embodiment 1, an arc-shaped sliding groove 14 corresponding to the position of the storage groove 9 is formed on the end surface of the end of the inner ring 2 away from the cross bar 4. The arc-shaped sliding groove 14 communicates with the storage groove 9. An arc-shaped sliding block 15 is slidably arranged in the arc-shaped sliding groove 14. One end of the arc-shaped sliding block 15 facing the storage groove 9 is fixedly connected with a driving inclined block 16. The driving inclined block 16 extends into the storage groove 9 and cooperates with the pawl 12 to drive the pawl 12 to disengage from the ratchet tooth 8.
[0038] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred solution in the above embodiment is that after the driving inclined block 16 drives the pawl 12 to disengage from the ratchet tooth 8, the inner ring 2 can rotate freely in reverse, facilitating the resetting of the anal dilation rod 7.
[0039] Specifically, as Figure 4 shown, when forward rotation of the inner ring 2 is required, push the arc-shaped sliding block 15 to one side. The pawl 12 contacts the ratchet tooth 8 for limiting, and the driving inclined block 16 does not contact the pawl 12. Medical staff can only rotate the inner ring 2 forward and cannot rotate it in reverse;
[0040] When reverse rotation of the inner ring 2 is required, then push the arc-shaped sliding block 15 towards the pawl 12 direction. AsFigure 5 As shown, the pawl 12 is triangular and the end far from the rotating shaft 10 is a tip. When the pawl 12 meshes with the ratchet teeth 8, the tip of the pawl 12 extends beyond the height of the ratchet teeth 8;
[0041] The driving cam 16 is also triangular and the end facing the pawl 12 is a tip. When the driving cam 16 approaches the pawl 12, the tip of the driving cam 16 is inserted between the pawl 12 and the ratchet teeth 8 along the inclined surface of the pawl 12, and gradually disengages the pawl 12 from the ratchet teeth 8, so that the inner ring 2 can rotate freely in reverse.
[0042] In addition, the arc-shaped chute 14 is coaxial with the inner ring 2. When the arc-shaped slider 15 slides in the arc-shaped chute 14, it moves in an arc, which can ensure that the arc-shaped slider 15 does not come into contact with the ratchet teeth 8.
[0043] On the basis of this embodiment, a spring can be installed in the arc-shaped chute 14. One end of the spring abuts against the inner side wall of the arc-shaped chute 14, and the other end abuts against the side wall of the arc-shaped slider 15. The spring is used to drive the arc-shaped slider 15 to slide, so that the arc-shaped slider 15 remains at a position far from the pawl 12;
[0044] During use, the medical staff pushes the arc-shaped slider 15 close to the pawl 12, the spring is compressed, the driving cam 16 disengages the pawl 12 from the ratchet teeth 8, so that the inner ring 2 can rotate in reverse, and when the hand is released, the spring is released, and the arc-shaped slider 15 moves away from the pawl 12.
[0045] Embodiment 3

One end of the adduction section 701 is fixedly connected to the cross bar 4, the other end of the adduction section 701 points in the direction of the center of the outer ring 1 and forms an angle with the axis of the outer ring 1, one end of the outward expansion section 702 is fixedly connected to the end of the adduction section 701 pointing to the center of the outer ring 1, and the other end of the outward expansion section 702 points in the direction away from the center of the outer ring 1 and forms an angle with the axis of the outer ring 1.
[0047] The beneficial effect of adopting the preferred scheme in the above embodiment is that the two curved anal dilator rods 7 can perform anal dilation better and reduce the interference to medical staff.
[0048] Specifically, the angle between the adduction section 701 and the cross bar 4 is greater than 50°, and the angle between the adduction section 701 and the central axis of the outer ring 1 is less than 30°.
[0049] Embodiment 4
