Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hospital supplies, and in particular to a storage device for a closed thoracic drainage bottle. Background Technology

[0002] Closed chest drainage bottles are used to drain pleural effusion or pneumothorax. They come in single-lumen, double-lumen, and triple-lumen types. A single-lumen closed chest drainage bottle consists of a main body with one inner cavity. The main body has a breathing port connected to a connecting tube. The breathing port allows for air intake and exhaust, while the connecting tube connects to the drainage tube to introduce fluid and gas. A double-lumen closed chest drainage bottle has two inner cavities within its main body, and compared to the single-lumen bottle, it has an additional intermediate tube connecting the two cavities. A triple-lumen closed chest drainage bottle has three inner cavities within its main body, with two intermediate tubes connecting all three cavities.

[0003] Closed chest drainage bottles are for single use only, and discarded bottles require proper disposal. Currently, discarded closed chest drainage bottles are generally thrown into regular trash cans. This haphazard disposal leads to inefficient use of trash cans, as closed chest drainage bottles are relatively large, with thick and rigid tubing. Furthermore, discarded bottles contain liquid, which can easily leak from the breathing opening and connecting tubing, potentially spreading pathogens.

[0004] A search revealed some patents related to the storage of closed thoracic drainage bottles, such as patents with application numbers 202222428662.1 and 202120511066.2. However, these patents disclose closed thoracic drainage bottles in a fixed state of use, not for storing discarded closed thoracic drainage bottles. No storage device specifically for storing discarded closed thoracic drainage bottles was found. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a storage device specifically for storing discarded closed thoracic drainage bottles.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: The closed thoracic drainage bottle storage device includes a base, a storage bucket, a sealing plug, and a tube clamp; the base includes a base body, a vertical rod, and a storage box. The base body has a bucket groove, the bucket is placed in the bucket groove, the vertical rod is located behind the bucket and connected to the base, the storage box is located above the bucket and connected to the vertical rod, and the sealing plug and tube clamp are placed in the storage box; the storage bucket includes a bucket body, the bucket body includes a first partition and multiple second partitions, the first partition divides the internal area of ​​the bucket body into a bottle area and a tube area, the second partition is perpendicular to the first partition, the second partition divides the bottle area into multiple bottle compartments, and the first partition has partition holes;

[0007] The drainage bottle is stored as follows: the main body of the drainage bottle is placed in the bottle compartment, the sealing plug is placed on the breathing port of the drainage bottle, the tube clamp is used to clamp the connecting tube of the drainage bottle, the connecting tube is bent to reduce its height and passes through the partition hole with the tube clamp, and the first partition restricts the tube clamp from retracting into the bottle area.

[0008] Furthermore, the pipe clamp includes a U-shaped clamping body, clamping plates, and elastic plates. The U-shaped clamping body includes a base plate, an end plate, and elastic hook plates. The end plate and elastic hook plates are respectively connected to both ends of the base plate. There are two elastic hook plates, which are spaced apart. One end of the clamping plate is hinged to the end plate. When the other end of the clamping plate is rotated to be between the two elastic hook plates, the elastic hook plates can restrict the rotation of the clamping plate. The clamping plate and the base plate can jointly clamp the connecting pipe located between them. There are four elastic plates. Two elastic plates are close to the end plate, and two elastic plates are respectively connected to both sides of the U-shaped clamping body. The other two elastic plates are close to the elastic hook plates. One elastic plate is connected to the U-shaped clamping body, and the other elastic plate is connected to the clamping plate. When the elastic plates are compressed, the pipe clamp can pass through the partition hole. When the elastic plates rebound, they restrict the pipe clamp from passing back through the partition hole.

[0009] Furthermore, the sealing plug is a rubber plug.

[0010] Furthermore, at least two drainage bottles can be stacked vertically within a single bottle compartment.

[0011] Furthermore, the storage bucket includes a bucket mouth strap, which is correspondingly set to the bottle body area. One end of the bucket mouth strap is connected to one end of the bucket body, and the other end of the bucket mouth strap can be detachably connected to the other end of the bucket body. When connected, the bucket mouth strap is in the same direction as the first partition.

[0012] Furthermore, the storage bucket includes a carrying handle that is connected to the bucket body.

[0013] Furthermore, the second partition is provided with protrusions and hooks facing the bottle body, and the hooks do not extend beyond the surface of the protrusions; when the drainage bottle is a double-chamber or triple-chamber drainage bottle, the hooks can hook onto the middle tube of the drainage bottle to reduce the height of the middle tube.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, when storing the drainage bottle, take a sealing plug from the storage box and place it on the breathing port of the drainage bottle. Then, take a tube clamp to clamp the connecting tube of the drainage bottle. Place the main body of the drainage bottle in the bottle compartment, then bend the connecting tube to lower its height and pass it through the partition hole with the tube clamp. One drainage bottle is now stored.

[0015] The bottle body restricts the tilt of the main body of the drainage bottle; the connecting tube is bent to reduce its height and passes through the partition hole with the tube clamp. The first partition restricts the tube clamp to retract into the bottle body area, which allows the connecting tube to remain bent and reduced in height. By placing the drainage bottles in this way, each drainage bottle can be arranged neatly and closely, which can greatly improve the utilization rate of the collection bin. Under the same volume, the collection bin can hold more drainage bottles than ordinary trash cans.

[0016] The sealing plug and clamp respectively seal the connecting tube and the breathing port, preventing the liquid inside the drainage bottle from flowing out and thus preventing the spread of disease. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the closed thoracic drainage bottle storage device includes a base 2, a storage bucket 1, a sealing plug 4, and a tube clamp 3. The base 2 includes a base body 21, a vertical rod 22, and a storage box 23. The base body 21 has a bucket groove 211, and the bucket 11 is placed in the bucket groove 211. The vertical rod 22 is located behind the bucket 11 and connected to the base 2. The storage box 23 is located above the bucket 11 and connected to the vertical rod 22. The sealing plug 4 and the tube clamp 3 are placed in the storage box 23. The storage bucket 1 includes a bucket body 11, which includes a first partition 111 and multiple second partitions 114. The first partition 111 holds the bucket... The internal area of ​​body 11 is divided into bottle area and pipeline area 112. The second partition 114 is perpendicular to the first partition 111 and divides the bottle area into multiple bottle compartments 113. The first partition 111 has partition holes 1111. The drainage bottle 5 is stored as follows: the main body 51 of the drainage bottle 5 is placed in the bottle compartment 113, the sealing plug 4 is placed on the breathing port 54 of the drainage bottle 5, the tube clamp 3 clamps the connecting tube 52 of the drainage bottle 5, the connecting tube 52 is bent to reduce its height and passes through the partition hole 1111 with the tube clamp 3, and the first partition 111 restricts the tube clamp 3 from retracting into the bottle area.

[0036] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, when storing the drainage bottle 5, take a sealing plug 4 from the storage box 23 and cover the breathing port 54 of the drainage bottle 5, and take a tube clamp 3 to clamp the connecting tube 52 of the drainage bottle 5. Then place the main body 51 of the drainage bottle 5 into the bottle compartment 113, and then bend the connecting tube 52 to lower its height and pass it through the partition hole 1111 with the tube clamp 3. One drainage bottle 5 is then stored.

[0037] The bottle body compartment 113 restricts the tilt of the main body 51 of the drainage bottle 5; the connecting tube 52 bends to reduce its height and passes through the partition hole 1111 with the tube clamp 3. The first partition 111 restricts the tube clamp 3 to retract into the bottle body area, so that the connecting tube 52 can remain bent and reduced in height. By placing the drainage bottles 5 in this way, each drainage bottle 5 can be arranged neatly and relatively tightly, which can greatly improve the utilization rate of the collection bin. Under the same volume, the collection bin can hold more drainage bottles 5 than ordinary trash cans.

[0038] The sealing plug 3 and the tube clamp 4 respectively seal the connecting tube 52 and the breathing port 54, which can prevent the liquid inside the drainage bottle 5 from flowing out and prevent the spread of disease.

[0039] After the storage container 1 is filled with the drainage bottle 5, it is disposed of together with the drainage bottle 5; that is, the storage container 1 is for single use only. The tube clamp 3 and the sealing plug 4 are also for single use only. The storage container 1 is reused. All components of the closed thoracic drainage bottle storage device can be made of plastic. The base 2, being reusable, has a thicker material, while the storage container 1, being single-use, can have a thinner material. The function of the storage container 1 is twofold: firstly, to secure it and prevent it from tipping over; and secondly, to store the tube clamp 3 and the sealing plug 4. The structure of the storage box 23 can be like that of a regular box.

[0040] The specific structure of the pipe clamp 3 can be as follows: The pipe clamp 3 includes a U-shaped clamping body 31, a clamping plate 32, and an elastic plate 33. The U-shaped clamping body 31 includes a base plate 311, an end plate 312, and an elastic hook plate 313. The end plate 312 and the elastic hook plate 313 are respectively connected to both ends of the base plate 311. There are two elastic hook plates 313, which are spaced apart. One end of the clamping plate 32 is hinged to the end plate 312. When the other end of the clamping plate 32 is rotated to be between the two elastic hook plates 313, the elastic hook plates 313 can restrict the clamping plate 32. When rotated, the clamping plate 32 and the base plate 311 can jointly clamp the connecting pipe 52 located between them; there are four elastic plates 33; two elastic plates 33 are close to the end plate 312, and two elastic plates 33 are respectively connected to both sides of the U-shaped clamp 31; the other two elastic plates 33 are close to the elastic hook plate 313, one elastic plate 33 is connected to the U-shaped clamp 31, and the other elastic plate 33 is connected to the clamping plate 32; when the elastic plates 33 are compressed, the pipe clamp 3 can pass through the partition hole 1111; when the elastic plates 33 rebound, they prevent the pipe clamp 3 from passing back through the partition hole 1111.

[0041] The connecting pipe 52 passes between the base plate 311 and the clamping plate 32. Rotating the clamping plate 32 presses the connecting pipe 52 together. During this process, the end of the clamping plate 32 opens the elastic hook plate 313 and enters between the two elastic hook plates 313. The elastic hook plate 313 rebounds and hooks the clamping plate 32, restricting its rotation, thus clamping the connecting pipe 52. The partition hole 1111 matches the shape and size of the pipe clamp 3. The elastic piece 33 is inclined and can bend elastically. When the pipe clamp 3 passes through the partition hole 1111, the hole wall of the partition hole 1111 causes the elastic piece 33 to bend inward, reducing the size of the pipe clamp 3 and allowing it to pass through the partition hole 1111. After passing through, the elastic piece 33 rebounds, and the elastic piece 33 presses against the first partition plate 111, preventing the pipe clamp 3 from returning through the partition hole 1111.

[0042] The sealing plug 4 is a rubber plug that matches the inner hole of the breathing port 54. After being inserted into the breathing port 54, it relies on its own elasticity to prevent it from slipping out.

[0043] The storage bin 1 can hold only one layer of drainage bottles 5. To increase the capacity, it is preferable that at least two drainage bottles 5 can be stacked vertically in one bottle compartment 113. That is, the storage bin 1 can hold at least two layers of drainage bottles 5.

[0044] Furthermore, the preferred storage bucket 1 includes a bucket opening strap 12, which is correspondingly positioned to the bottle body area. One end of the bucket opening strap 12 is connected to one end of the bucket body 11, and the other end of the bucket opening strap 12 can be detachably connected to the other end of the bucket body 11. When connected, the bucket opening strap 12 and the first partition 111 are in the same direction. The storage bucket 1 also includes a carrying handle 13, which is connected to the bucket body 11.

[0045] The purpose of the bucket opening strap 12 is to connect the bucket opening strap 12 when the storage bucket 1 is full for transportation, and to block the drainage bottle 5 from falling out during transportation. The carrying strap 13 is used to make it easier to carry the storage bucket 1.

[0046] The aforementioned closed thoracic drainage bottle storage device can be used to store various types of drainage bottles 5. However, for double-lumen and triple-lumen drainage bottles 5, due to the presence of a middle tube 53, and the relatively high height of the middle tube 53, it would be detrimental to increasing the capacity of the storage container 1 if its height is not reduced. Therefore, this utility model can make further modifications for double-lumen and triple-lumen drainage bottles 5, specifically as follows: Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the second partition 114 is provided with a protrusion 115 facing the bottle body compartment 113 and a hook 116. The hook 116 does not extend beyond the surface of the protrusion 115. When the drainage bottle 5 is a double-chamber or triple-chamber drainage bottle, the hook 116 can hook the middle tube 53 of the drainage bottle 5 to reduce the height of the middle tube 53.

[0047] like Figure 15 and 16As shown, bending the middle tube 53 to the side and hooking it with the hook 116 to prevent it from springing back can reduce the height of the middle tube 53, thereby making it easier to put more layers of diversion bottles 5 into the storage bucket 1 and increasing the capacity of the storage bucket 1.
