[0019] To deepen the understanding of this utility model, the following detailed description will be provided in conjunction with embodiments. These embodiments are only used to explain this utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0020] according to Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment proposes an automatic enema device, including an enema fluid storage tank 1, a negative pressure suction bag 2, a three-way connector 3, and an enema tube 4. The bottom of the enema fluid storage tank 1 is connected to a first pipe 5, and the top of the negative pressure suction bag 2 is connected to a second pipe 6. One end of the first pipe 5 is connected to the first interface 301 of the three-way connector 3, and one end of the second pipe 6 is connected to the second interface 302 of the three-way connector 3. One end of the enema tube 4 is connected to the third interface 303 of the three-way connector 3. An umbrella-shaped sealing element 7 is provided on the outer wall of the enema tube 4. The umbrella-shaped sealing element 7 includes a movable ring 701, a first connecting rod 702, a second connecting rod 703, a fixed ring 704, and an umbrella-shaped flexible sealing cover 705. The movable ring 701 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the enema tube 4. The small-diameter end of the umbrella-shaped flexible sealing cover 705 is connected to one side of the movable ring 701. The inner wall of the umbrella-shaped flexible sealing cover 705 is provided with a first connecting rod 702, and multiple sets of the first connecting rod 702 are provided. The fixed ring 704 is provided on the outer wall of the enema tube 4. The fixed ring 704 is rotatably provided with a second connecting rod 703. The number of second connecting rods 703 is adapted to the number of first connecting rods 702, and one end of the second connecting rod 703 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 702. The outer wall of the third interface 303 of the three-way component 3 is provided with an opening and closing degree adjustment mechanism 8, and the opening and closing degree adjustment mechanism 8 is connected to the movable ring 701.

[0021] In use, the automatic enema device of this invention stores the enema fluid in the enema fluid storage tank 1. Then, a piping system consisting of an enema tube 4, a first pipe 5, a second pipe 6, and a three-way connector 3 is connected to the enema fluid storage tank 1 and the negative pressure suction bag 2. During enema, the second interface 302 is closed, and the enema tube 4 and the umbrella-shaped seal 7 are inserted into the patient's anus. The opening and closing adjustment mechanism 8 is used to adjust the expansion range of the umbrella-shaped flexible sealing cover 705 of the umbrella-shaped seal 7, allowing the umbrella-shaped flexible sealing cover 705 to fully open. The enema tube is placed close to the inner wall of the patient's anus. The first pipe 5 is kept unobstructed, allowing the enema solution in the enema solution reservoir 1 to enter the enema tube 4 through the first pipe 5 to perform an enema. After the enema is completed, the control valves on the third port 303 and the first port 301 are closed, allowing the enema solution to remain in the patient's body. When it is necessary to expel the patient's intestinal contents, the control valves on the second port 302 and the third port 303 are opened, allowing the intestinal contents to enter the negative pressure suction bag 2 through the enema tube 4 and the second pipe 6. Finally, the enema tube 4 and the umbrella-shaped seal 7 are removed.

[0022] A first speed regulating valve 9 is fitted onto the first pipe 5, and a second speed regulating valve 10 is fitted onto the second pipe 6. The flow rate of the enema fluid can be controlled by setting the first speed regulating valve 9, and the flow rate of the patient's intestinal contents into the negative pressure suction bag 2 can be controlled by setting the second speed regulating valve 10.

[0023] The first port 301, the second port 302, and the third port 303 of the three-way component 3 are all equipped with control valves.

[0024] The enema fluid storage tank 1 is equipped with a suspension frame 11 at its top, and a telescopic rod 12 is mounted on the suspension frame 11. A tank cover 13 is mounted at the output end of the telescopic rod 12, and the diameter of the tank cover 13 is adapted to the diameter of the enema fluid storage tank 1. By setting up the suspension frame 11, the enema fluid storage tank 1 can be suspended at a high position to maintain unobstructed piping for stable and efficient enema operations. The telescopic rod 12 and the tank cover 13 allow for the opening and closing of the enema fluid storage tank 1 to ensure an internal seal.

[0025] The opening / closing adjustment mechanism 8 includes a drive assembly, a rotating shaft 801, a gear 802, and a rack 803. A vertical plate 804 is provided on the outer wall of the third interface 303 of the three-way connector 3. The drive assembly is mounted on the vertical plate 804, and the rotating shaft 801 is rotatably mounted on the vertical plate 804. The rotating shaft 801 is connected to the drive assembly. One end of the gear 802 is connected to the upper part of one end of the movable ring 701. The gear 802 is mounted on the rotating shaft 801, and the gear 802 meshes with the rack 803. The drive assembly includes a worm gear 805, a worm 806, and a knob 807. The worm 806 is rotatably mounted on the vertical plate 804, and a knob 807 is provided at one end of the worm 806. The worm 806 is mounted on the rotating shaft 801, and the worm gear 805 meshes with the worm 806. When the opening and closing adjustment mechanism 8 is used to control the opening degree of the umbrella-shaped seal 7, the worm gear 806 can be driven to rotate by turning the knob 807. The worm gear 806 will drive the rotating shaft 801, which is equipped with a worm wheel 805, to rotate. The rotation of the gear 802 installed on the rotating shaft 801 will drive the rack 803 to move. Since one end of the rack 803 is connected to the movable ring 701 that is slidably set on the outer wall of the enema tube 4, the movable ring 701 can be driven to move on the outer wall of the enema tube 4. When the movable ring 701 moves, it will pull the umbrella-shaped flexible sealing cover 705 to move. At this time, the second connecting rod 703 will be activated in conjunction to control the opening degree of the umbrella-shaped flexible sealing cover 705.

[0026] The enema device of this invention is composed of an enema fluid storage tank 1, a negative pressure suction bag 2, a three-way connector 3, and an enema tube 4. It can realize automatic enema and discharge of enema fluid. The umbrella-shaped sealing element 7 set on the enema tube 4 can adaptably fit tightly against the inner wall of the patient's anus to seal the gap, preventing the leakage of sewage during the discharge of enema fluid and thus preventing the contamination of the patient's clothes and bed sheets. The three-way connector 3 allows the enema device of this invention to store the enema fluid in the intestine after it is injected into the human body, and can also discharge the intestinal contents by opening the corresponding control valve during the enema time. The whole operation process has the advantages of simplicity and cleanliness.
