Example two

[0027] As Figure 1 - Figure 3The protection device for the end of a central venous catheter shown in the application comprises a protection mechanism 2, which comprises a sliding block 21 slidably connected to the outer wall of the port 14. The inner wall of the port 14 is provided with four installation grooves 22, which are equidistantly distributed and in the shape of a trapezoid. The outer part of the sliding block 21 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 25. The inner part of the installation groove 22 is slidably connected to a spherical ball 23, which has a diameter greater than the length of the inner slot of the installation groove 22. The inner part of the port 14 is slidably connected to a sealing plug 27, which has a diameter equal to that of the inner wall of the port 14. The outer wall of the sealing plug 27 is provided with a clamping groove 28, which has a contour matching the outer diameter of the spherical ball 23. The spherical ball 23 is clamped in the inner part of the clamping groove 28. The outer wall of the port 14 is sleeved with a spring 26, which is located between the outer wall of the port 14 and one side of the sliding block 21. The end of the sealing plug 27 is fixedly connected to a protection block 29, which has a diameter greater than that of the outer wall of the port 14. The outer part of the sliding block 21 is provided with anti-skid lines 24.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the first hose 12 and the second hose 13 are not in use, if the medical staff needs to protect the inside of the port 14 connected to the first hose 12 and the second hose 13, the sealing plug 27 can be inserted into the inside of the port 14. If the staff needs to insert the sealing plug 27 into the inside of the port 14, the sliding block 21 can be first pushed by hand. After the sliding block 21 is pushed, it will slide relative to the port 14. In the sliding process of the sliding block 21, one side of the sliding block 21 will extrude the spring 26 and make the spring 26 elastically deform and shrink and store a certain elastic potential energy. When the sliding block 21 slides to the maximum compression distance of the spring 26, one side of the sliding block 21 will release the limitation of the spherical ball 23 on the inner wall of the mounting groove 22. At this time, the spherical ball 23 can slide in the inside of the mounting groove 22. Then the staff inserts the sealing plug 27 into the inside of the port 14. After one side of the protection block 29 is attached to one side of the port 14, the clamping groove 28 can be located in front of the spherical ball 23. Then the medical staff can release the sliding block 21. At this time, the spring 26 in the elastic contraction state will rebound, thereby driving the sliding block 21 to slide again on the outer wall of the port 14 and extruding the spherical ball 23. After the spherical ball 23 is extruded, it is clamped in the inside of the clamping groove 28, thereby completing the limitation of the sealing plug 27 in the inside of the port 14. The protection block 29 fixedly connected to the end portion of the sealing plug 27 has a diameter greater than the diameter of the outer wall of the port 14. When the port 14 is subjected to external collision and other external forces, the protection block 29 can play a buffering and protection role, avoiding the direct action of external force on the port 14 and the sealing plug 27, effectively prolonging the service life of the port 14 and the protection mechanism 2. In addition, the anti-skid lines 24 opened on the outside of the sliding block 21 increase the friction between the hand and the sliding block 21, making it more labor-saving and stable for the operator to push the sliding block 21, and the operation experience is better. The core component of the protection mechanism 2 is the sliding block 21, which is connected to the outer wall of the port 14 in a sliding manner. This connection mode makes the sliding block 21 smoothly slide along the outer wall of the port 14, and the operation flexibility is high. The inner wall of the port 14 is carefully provided with four mounting grooves 22. These mounting grooves 22 are equally distributed and are all trapezoidal. This unique trapezoidal design can provide a stable track for the sliding of the spherical ball 23, and on the other hand, it is conducive to better dispersing stress when the spherical ball 23 is subjected to external force, thereby improving the stability of the structure. The core component of the protection mechanism 2 is the sliding block 21, which is connected to the outer wall of the port 14 in a sliding manner. This connection mode makes the sliding block 21 smoothly slide along the outer wall of the port 14, and the operation flexibility is high. The inner wall of the port 14 is carefully provided with four mounting grooves 22. These mounting grooves 22 are equally distributed and are all trapezoidal.The unique trapezoidal design can provide the limit block 25 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the port 14 for the sliding of the ball 23. The two limit blocks 25 are respectively located on the two sides of the sliding block 21, which accurately limits the sliding range of the sliding block 21 and prevents it from sliding excessively and falling off the port 14, thereby ensuring the reliability of the entire protection mechanism 2. The ball 23 is slidably connected in the installation groove 22, and the diameter of the ball 23 is greater than the length of the installation groove 22 located in the inner groove of the port 14. This ingenious design makes the ball 23 not easy to fall off from the installation groove 22, while being able to freely slide in the installation groove 22, thereby providing a stable track for effectively clamping the sealing plug 27. On the other hand, it is beneficial to better disperse stress when the ball 23 is subjected to external force, thereby improving the stability of the structure. The sealing plug 27 is slidably connected in the port 14, and the diameter of the sealing plug 27 is equal to the diameter of the inner wall of the port 14, which can tightly fit the inner wall of the port 14 and effectively prevent impurities, dust, moisture and the like from entering the inside of the port 14, thereby playing a good sealing protection role. The clamping groove 28 is provided on the outer wall of the sealing plug 27, and the profile of the clamping groove 28 is consistent with the outer diameter of the ball 23, so that the ball 23 can be accurately clamped in the clamping groove 28. When the sliding block 21 pushes the ball 23 to move, the clamping cooperation between the ball 23 and the clamping groove 28 can stably control the position of the sealing plug 27, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the port 14. The spring 26 is sleeved on the outer wall of the port 14 and located between the sliding block 21 and the outer wall of the port 14. The spring 26 has good elastic reset function. When the sliding block 21 is pushed by external force, the spring 26 is compressed to store elastic potential energy. When the external force disappears, the spring 26 releases the elastic potential energy to push the sliding block 21 to reset, thereby driving the ball 23 and the sealing plug 27 to return to the initial position, thereby realizing the automatic reset function and being convenient to operate without manual reset.
