[0021] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.
[0022] The following is a further description of the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0023] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a patient who is unable to eat clinically has a nutrition tube (more than 100 cm) inserted into the jejunum for enteral nutrition. However, the nutrition tube may become blocked due to long-term feeding, thick nutrition solution, insufficiently crushed medicine, agglomeration between medicine and nutrition solution, or failure to flush the tube in time after the nutrition solution is finished. Most existing methods for solving the above problems are to dissolve the tube using pancreatic enzymes, sodium bicarbonate, cola, etc. However, due to the long tube, some blocked areas are difficult to dissolve, so the patient needs to be reintubated, which increases the cost and causes more discomfort to the patient. In order to solve this problem, a nutrition tube blockage cleaning device is proposed, including a cleaning tube assembly 1, wherein the cleaning tube assembly 1 includes a first tube segment 13, a second tube segment 12, and a third tube segment 11 that are detachably connected from top to bottom.
[0024] A first liquid infusion channel 111 for the washing water to enter is formed in the first pipe section 13, the second pipe section 12 and the third pipe section 11;
[0025] A cleaning member 14 is provided on the outer periphery of the third tube section 11. The cleaning member 14 includes a cleaning tube section 141 detachably connected to the outer periphery of the third tube section 11. A plurality of cleaning brush heads 142 are arranged in an array and spaced apart on the outer periphery of the cleaning tube 141 for inserting into the nutrition tube to clean the inner wall of the nutrition tube. A guide hole 143 is provided between the upper and lower cleaning brush heads 142 for guiding cleaning water out of the first infusion channel 111.
[0026] The upper and lower ends of the second pipe section 12 are respectively provided with fixing parts 2 for fixing the first pipe section 13 and the third pipe section 11; by setting the first pipe section 13, the second pipe section 12 and the third pipe section 11 that are detachably connected in sequence in the cleaning tube group 1, the purpose of effectively adjusting and controlling the length of the cleaning tube group 1 can be achieved, ensuring that the blocked area of the feeding tube can be fully cleaned, and by setting the cleaning pipe section 141 in the cleaning part 14, the purpose of orderly and stably cleaning the inner wall of the feeding tube can be achieved, saving time and effort while also improving the comfort of the patient, and by setting the fixing part 2, the three cleaning pipe sections 141 can be disassembled in an idle state for easy accommodation.
[0027] It should be noted that the cleaning tube set 1 can be accommodated in sections when not in use, which can also reduce the space it occupies and achieve the purpose of better accommodation.
[0028] Additionally, when the inner wall of the nutrition tube needs to be cleaned, the first tube segment 13, the second tube segment 12 and the third tube segment 11 are connected in sequence so that the first infusion channels 111 of the three are in a concentric state. At this time, the cleaning water can be injected to achieve the purpose of cleaning the inner wall of the nutrition tube.
[0029] It should be noted that the cleaning water injected during the above cleaning process is drinkable water or nutrient solution, etc.
[0030] Furthermore, the above-mentioned cleaning pipe section 141 is detachably connected and arranged on the outer periphery of the third pipe section 11. This arrangement is for the purpose of more convenient disassembly of the cleaning pipe section 141. Because the cleaning brush head 142 and other parts are arranged on the cleaning pipe section 141, the purpose of cleaning the inner wall of the nutrition tubes of different specifications can also be achieved by replacing the cleaning pipe sections 141 of different specifications.
[0031] It should also be noted that the above-mentioned cleaning tube group 1 is inserted into the nutrition tube as a whole, and the third tube section 11 is the first to enter the nutrition tube. At this time, the cleaning brush head 142 will clean the inner wall of the nutrition tube, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the blocked area.
[0032] Specifically, the structure of the above-mentioned fixing member 2 is as follows: the fixing member 2 includes a stepped protrusion 21 opened at the top of the second pipe segment 12 and the top of the third pipe segment 11, and the bottom of the first pipe segment 13 and the second pipe segment 12 are provided with a thread groove 22 that is threadedly connected to the stepped protrusion 21; through the arrangement of the stepped protrusion 21 and the thread groove 22, the two pipe segments can be matched by screwing in, and the arrangement is also relatively stable.
[0033] It should be noted that, since the nutrition tube may be bent, the cleaning tube set 1 in this embodiment is made of elastic material, that is, the three sections of cleaning tubes can be changed according to the shape of the nutrition tube.
[0034] Additionally, in order to better inject cleaning water or nutrient solution, in this embodiment, a connecting flange 131 for connecting to an external pipe segment is provided at the top of the first pipe segment 13; the setting of the connecting flange 131 can better connect to the first pipe segment 13.
[0035] Furthermore, when injecting cleaning water, in order to avoid problems such as air pressure entering the nutrition tube body, the cleaning pipe section 141 can also be injected at multiple positions accordingly. In this embodiment, a second infusion channel connected to the first infusion channel 111 is opened in the side wall of the first pipe section 13; the setting of the second infusion channel can avoid the problem of air pressure entering the nutrition tube body, and multiple injection ports can also be opened.
[0036] It is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate the management of the second infusion channel and prevent the injection liquid from flowing out of the second infusion channel when not in use, in this embodiment, a sealing block 132 for closing the second infusion channel is detachably connected in the second infusion channel; the purpose of sealing the second infusion channel can be achieved through the detachably connected sealing block 132.
[0037] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the operator to open or close the sealing block 132, in this embodiment, a card slot 1321 is provided on the outer periphery of the sealing block 132 for the operator to twist the sealing block 132; the setting of the card slot 1321 can facilitate the operator to open or close the sealing block 132.
[0038] The detachable connection mentioned above can be provided in the form of a threaded connection or a clamping connection.
[0039] It should be emphasized that the embodiments described in the present invention are illustrative rather than restrictive. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in the specific implementation methods. Any other implementation methods derived by those skilled in the art based on the technical solution of the present invention also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
