[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model discloses a sterile protective sleeve for a laparoscope with an automatic vacuum negative pressure alarm function, comprising a protective sleeve body 1, a laparoscope body 2 disposed inside the protective sleeve body 1, a negative pressure sensor 4 installed inside the protective sleeve body 1, a housing 5 disposed to the right side of the negative pressure sensor 4, a circuit board 6 disposed inside the housing 5, mounting bolts 22 disposed at the upper and lower ends of both sides inside the circuit board 6, a control module 18 disposed at the front end of the circuit board 6, an alarm module 19 disposed to the right side of the front end of the circuit board 6, a signal receiving module 21 disposed at the bottom of the front end of the circuit board 6, a wireless transmission module 20 disposed to the right side of the signal receiving module 21, an mounting sleeve 7 fixedly connected to the right side of the front end of the protective sleeve body 1, a vacuum pump 11 disposed to the right side of the protective sleeve body 1, and pipes 12 disposed at the output end and input end of the vacuum pump 11 respectively.

[0027] The circuit board 6 is installed inside the housing 5 by mounting bolts 22. The control module 18 and the alarm module 19 are electrically connected. The control module 18, the alarm module 19, the wireless transmission module 20 and the signal receiving module 21 are electrically connected to the circuit board 6.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the vacuum pump 11 is started, which evacuates the air inside the protective sleeve body 1, making it fit tightly against the endoscope body 2. The negative pressure sensor 4 is installed inside the protective sleeve body 1, which can monitor the pressure changes inside the protective sleeve body 1 in real time. The signal receiving module 21 and the control module 18 can receive the signal from the negative pressure sensor 4 to determine whether the protective sleeve body 1 is broken. When the protective sleeve body 1 is broken, the alarm module 19 emits an audible and visual alarm to remind the surgeon to replace the protective sleeve body 1. The wireless transmission module 20 can wirelessly transmit the alarm signal to the operating room display screen, so that all surgical personnel can understand the situation in a timely manner.

[0029] The mounting sleeve 7 has an internal mounting tube 8. A connecting tube 10 is provided between the mounting tube 8 and the pipe 12. A vacuum valve 9 is installed between the connecting tubes 10. The connecting tube 10 is installed on the protective sleeve body 1 through the mounting tube 8 and the mounting sleeve 7. The bottom end of the connecting tube 10 and the top end of the pipe 12 are respectively movably connected to the second mounting plate 15 and the first mounting plate 14. Fixing bolts 13 are provided on both sides inside the second mounting plate 15 and the first mounting plate 14. A spring washer 17 is provided at the top of the outside of the fixing bolt 13. The first mounting plate 14 and the second mounting plate 15 are fixed by the fixing bolts 13. A sealing gasket 16 is provided between the first mounting plate 14 and the second mounting plate 15.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the inside of the mounting sleeve 7 and the outside of the mounting tube 8 are respectively machined with mutually mating threads. The connecting tube 10 is installed on the protective sleeve body 1 through the mounting sleeve 7 and the mounting tube 8. When it is necessary to connect the bottom end of the connecting tube 10 to the pipe 12, the sealing gasket 16 is placed on the top of the first mounting plate 14. After it is placed, the first mounting plate 14 and the second mounting plate 15 are aligned. Then, the fixing bolt 13 is screwed into the inside of the first mounting plate 14 and the second mounting plate 15 to fix the first mounting plate 14 and the second mounting plate 15, so that the vacuum valve 9 and the vacuum pump 11 can be connected.

[0031] A connecting block 24 is installed on the outside of the endoscope body 2. A fixing sleeve 3 is fixedly connected to the left side inside the protective sleeve body 1.

The elastic ring 25 is fixed to the outside of the connecting block 24 by the double-sided sealant 23. The connecting block 24 and the elastic ring 25 are sealed by the double-sided sealant 23.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, when the protective sleeve body 1 is installed outside the endoscope body 2, the fixing sleeve 3 and the elastic ring 25 will use their own elasticity to make the elastic ring 25 fit tightly against the connecting block 24, thus sealing the protective sleeve body 1 and the endoscope body 2. Double-sided sealant 23 is provided on the outside of the connecting block 24. The double-sided sealant 23 can fix the fixing sleeve 3 and the shell 5, further improving the sealing effect on the left side of the protective sleeve body 1 and preventing the fixing sleeve 3 on the left side of the protective sleeve body 1 from moving accidentally.

[0033] Working principle: When the protective sleeve body 1 is installed outside the endoscope body 2, the fixing sleeve 3 and the elastic ring 25 will, through their own elasticity, ensure that the elastic ring 25 is tightly attached to the connecting block 24, thus sealing the protective sleeve body 1 and the endoscope body 2. When it is necessary to connect the bottom end of the connecting tube 10 to the pipe 12, the sealing gasket 16 is placed on the top of the first mounting plate 14. After placement, the first mounting plate 14 and the second mounting plate 15 are aligned, and then the fixing bolts 13 are screwed into the interior of the first mounting plate 14 and the second mounting plate 15 to fix them. This allows the vacuum valve 9 and the vacuum pump 11 to be connected. The vacuum valve 9 is opened, and the vacuum pump 11 draws air from the protective sleeve body 1 to the preset negative pressure value. The negative pressure sensor 4 and the alarm module 19 are monitored at all times to ensure that the protective sleeve body 1 is intact. If the alarm module 19 issues a warning, a new protective sleeve body 1 is replaced in time to avoid infection. After the operation, the vacuum valve 9 is closed, the protective sleeve body 1 is removed, and the endoscope body 2 is cleaned and disinfected.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described in detail above with general descriptions and specific embodiments, some modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art.
