Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, and in particular to a structure for detecting animal blood oxygen saturation. Background Technology

[0002] Blood oxygen saturation: The percentage of oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO2) bound to oxygen in the blood relative to the total available hemoglobin (Hb). It is a crucial physiological parameter for animal respiratory and circulatory systems. A blood oxygen saturation probe is an instrument used to measure the oxygen concentration in animal blood. The probe typically consists of a light-emitting diode and a receiving diode. Timely monitoring of blood oxygen levels is essential during surgical procedures or in the care of critically ill animals.

[0003] Existing animal probe structures have the following drawbacks:

[0004] a. The product only has one type of clamp, which limits its applicability to different animal holding positions and cannot meet the needs of measuring blood oxygen saturation in animals of varying sizes. It is not suitable for use with animals of different sizes, thus having significant limitations.

[0005] b. The probe uses a uniform fixing clip without differentiating the spring force. The strong spring force of the clip is not conducive to the animal blood oxygen detection process.

[0006] c. Fixing the probe clip by fixing it from the front increases the clamping area between the clip and the animal, causing the clip to occupy the contact area between the probe and the animal, preventing the probe from making full contact with the animal. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention provides a probe structure for detecting blood oxygen saturation in animals, aiming to solve the problem of probe adaptation when the size of the measurement site is inconsistent for different animals.

[0008] This utility model provides an animal blood oxygen saturation detection probe structure, including a probe end and a clamp end.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 10As shown, the present invention discloses an animal blood oxygen saturation detection probe structure, including a probe end 1 and a clamp end 2. The probe end 1 includes a probe housing 11, a probe wiring 12, and a detection tube 13. The detection tube 13 is installed inside the probe housing 11. The probe wiring 12 is connected to the probe housing 11 and connected to the detection tube 13. The inner side of the probe housing 11 is provided with a detection surface 14, and the outer side of the probe housing 11 is provided with a housing protrusion 3. The clamp end 2 includes a clamping arm 4 and an elastic element 5. The two clamping arms 4 are connected by the elastic element 5. The end of the clamping arm 4 is provided with a probe slot 6. The probe housing 11 is inserted into the probe slot 6 of the clamping arm 4 through the housing protrusion 3. The detection surfaces 14 of the two probe housings 11 on the two clamping arms 4 are opposite each other.

[0031] The probe housing 11 is detachably mounted onto the clamping arm 4 through the cooperation of the housing protrusion 3 and the probe slot 6, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the probe end 1 and the clamping end 2. The elastic element 5 provides sufficient elasticity for the clamping arm 4 to hold the animal. Different elastic force models of the elastic element 5 can be selected according to the size of the individual to be clamped, ensuring that the entire detection probe is fixed on the animal while avoiding pain to the animal. The detection tube 13 is used to acquire relevant signals from the animal's body parts and transmit them to the corresponding detection instrument through the probe wiring 12. The detection surfaces 14 of the two probe housings 11 face each other, allowing the detection tube 13 to send and receive light signals.

[0032] The detection tube 13 includes a light-emitting tube and a receiving tube. The light-emitting tube is installed on the probe housing 11 of one clamping arm 4, and the receiving tube is installed on the probe housing 11 of the other clamping arm 4. The light-emitting tube and the receiving tube are aligned with each other through the detection surface 14. When the entire detection probe structure is clamped on the animal's ear, tongue, or other organs, the light emitted by the light-emitting tube passes through the ear or tongue and is received by the receiving tube. The received signal is then transmitted to the relevant instrument for detection through the probe wiring 12.

[0033] Compared to traditional probes where the light-emitting and receiving tubes are indistinguishable and lack color identification, requiring connection to a machine for identification and potentially leading to incorrect installation, this invention uses different colors for the corresponding probe housings 11 of the light-emitting and receiving tubes. This design makes them easy to identify and prevents them from being installed backwards.

[0034] The detection surface 14 is made of silicone, making it more comfortable when in contact with animals.

[0035] The housing protrusion 3 includes a protrusion 31 and a limiting panel 32. The two ends of the protrusion 31 are connected to the probe housing 11 and the limiting panel 32, respectively. The width of the limiting panel 32 is greater than the width of the protrusion 31. The protrusion 31 is inserted into the probe slot 6. The protrusion 31 is used to directly match and connect with the probe slot 6, and the limiting panel 32 is used to limit the connection position between the probe housing 11 and the clamping arm 4, preventing the probe housing 11 from easily falling off the clamping arm 4 laterally.

[0036] Example 1:

[0037] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the elastic element 5 includes a torsion spring 51 and a spindle 52. A protrusion 41 is provided in the middle of the clamping arm 4. The two ends of the torsion spring 51 abut against the inner sides of the tops of the two clamping arms 4, and the protrusion 41 is aligned with the middle of the torsion spring 51. The spindle 52 passes through the middle of the torsion spring 51 and the protrusion 41 of the two clamping arms 4 and is fixed. A torsion spring positioning groove 42 is provided in the inner side of the top of the clamping arm 4. The end of the torsion spring 51 is stuck in the torsion spring positioning groove 42. The two clamping arms 4 rotate relative to each other along the spindle 52 through the structure of the protrusion 41. The torsion spring 51 provides clamping force to the tops of the two clamping arms 4, so that the ends of the two clamping arms 4 can fix the probe end 1 on the animal part. When the top of the clamping arm 4 is pressed by an external force, the elastic force of the torsion spring 51 can be overcome to open the ends of the two clamping arms 4.

[0038] The inner side of the end of the clamping arm 4 is provided with a housing limiting cavity 43. The probe slot 6 is connected to the housing limiting cavity 43, and the probe housing 11 is assembled in the housing limiting cavity 43. The housing limiting cavity 43 is used to position the probe housing 11 to make the probe housing 11 more secure.

[0039] In this embodiment, the clamping arm 4 can be of a small shape and structure, and the spring coefficient of the torsion spring 51 can be selected to be a smaller model to adapt to the parts of small animals.

[0040] The probe slot 6 includes a first protrusion slide 61 that matches the protrusion 31 and a limiting groove 62 that matches the limiting panel 32. The limiting groove 62 is located at the end of the first protrusion slide 61. The protrusion 31 moves to the limiting groove 62 through the first protrusion slide 61, and the limiting panel 32 is engaged in the limiting groove 62. During assembly, after the protrusion 31 slides into the end through the first protrusion slide 61, the limiting panel 32 will be embedded in the limiting groove 62, thereby restricting the sliding of the housing protrusion 3 and preventing the probe end 1 from falling off the clamping arm 4 during use.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, this embodiment 2 basically adopts the structure of embodiment 1, except that the clamping arm 4 is selected with a larger shape and the torsion spring 51 is selected with a larger elastic coefficient, thus forming a detection probe structure that can be adapted to medium-sized animals.

[0043] Example 3:

[0044] like Figures 8 to 10As shown, this third embodiment is applicable to large animals, and its structure differs from that of embodiments one and two described above. Specifically, the elastic element 5 in this embodiment includes an arc-shaped elastic frame 53, with both ends of the arc-shaped elastic frame 53 connected to the middle of the two clamping arms 4 respectively. The arc-shaped elastic frame 53 includes an arc-shaped protrusion 54 and elastic connecting feet 55. The two ends of the arc-shaped protrusion 54 are connected to the middle of the clamping arms 4 through the elastic connecting feet 55, and the arc-shaped protrusion 54 faces the end of the clamping arms 4.

[0045] In this third embodiment, the distance between the two clamping arms 4 is relatively large, which can accommodate the clamping needs of larger parts of large animals. Therefore, the elastic element 5 of this structure is changed to an arc-shaped elastic frame 53. Utilizing the arc-shaped structure formed by the arc-shaped protrusion 54, the arc-shaped protrusion 54 deforms when the clamping arm 4 is pressed, thereby generating elasticity and providing elastic force to the ends of the two clamping arms 4. The structure of the arc-shaped protrusion 54 facing the ends of the clamping arms 4 increases the curvature of the arc-shaped protrusion 54 when the top of the clamping arm 4 is pressed. After clamping the animal part, the elastic force is applied to the ends of the clamping arms 4 when the arc-shaped protrusion 54 returns to its original position.

[0046] The clamping arm 4 is equipped with a wiring hook 44, and the probe wiring 12 is held in the wiring hook 44. This makes the wiring of the probe wiring 12 at the clamping arm 4 more organized and reduces the risk of wire tangling.

[0047] The probe slot 6 includes a second protruding post slide 63 and a protruding post positioning hole 64. The second protruding post slide 63 and the protruding post positioning hole 64 are connected. The width of the channel of the second protruding post 31 is less than the width of the protruding post 31, and the width of the protruding post positioning hole 64 is equal to or greater than the width of the protruding post 31. In this embodiment, the probe housing 11 is fixed by the structure of the second protruding post slide 63 and the protruding post positioning hole 64. The clamping arm 4 can be made of plastic. During assembly, the protruding post 31 pushes open the second protruding post slide 63 and slides into the protruding post positioning hole 64. After the second protruding post slide 63 loses the squeezing force, it resets. Without the action of external force, the second protruding post slide 63 restricts the protruding post 31 from sliding outward, thereby fixing the probe housing 11.

[0048] The structure of this animal blood oxygen saturation detection probe has the following advantages:

[0049] a. A raised portion is designed on the back of the probe end 1, through which a matching probe slot 6 is designed. The probe slot 6 is extended to create three different clip ends 2. The design is novel, unique in appearance, and comfortable to use. The unique structure features a raised portion on the back of the probe, allowing the raised portion to match three different clips, each compatible with the probe.

[0050] b. Different clamp sizes are matched with clamps of varying spring strengths; smaller clamps have lower force, and larger clamps have higher force. Different clamps can be used depending on the size and location of the animal being tested. The three different clamp sizes and structures, when matched with the probe end 1, ensure adaptability for different sizes of the same animal, and clamp replacement is convenient. The detection surface 14 of the probe end 1, which contacts the animal, is entirely composed of the probe's silicone material; the clamp only provides holding force, resulting in a soft and comfortable contact with the animal's body part.

[0051] c. The probe end 1 and clamp end 2 are designed for particularly convenient and quick installation; they can be used simply by snapping them in from the top. After the probe end 1 and clamp end 2 are fixed, the probe end 1 basically occupies the contact area with the animal, allowing the probe end 1 to fully contact the animal.

[0052] d. The clips are clearly sized, easy to identify, and not easily confused. The probe end 1 is clearly colored and easy to identify, and not easily clamped backwards. The spacing between the light-emitting tube and the receiving tube on the probe mounting clip is also differentiated to meet the needs of different animals.

[0053] e. This structure can be expanded to more clamp sizes as needed to meet the needs of large animals, different parts of the body, and to adapt to different animal sizes.

[0054] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of the present invention. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and all such modifications and substitutions should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
