Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a bladder capacity measuring instrument. Background Technology
[0002] Residual urine volume generally refers to the amount of urine remaining in the bladder. Under normal circumstances, the residual urine volume in the bladder should be less than 10 ml. Residual urine volume is usually measured by ultrasound or by catheterization. Ultrasound measurement is relatively convenient and simple, while catheterization is more accurate, but it is somewhat invasive. Therefore, ultrasound measurement is currently more widely used. If the residual urine volume is greater than 100 ml, it is generally referred to as urinary retention.
[0003] For example, the existing patent publication number CN204723093U, entitled "Bladder Scanner with Display", proposes that this bladder scanner with display is equipped with a display screen, which can replace the computer to display the condition inside the patient's bladder, so that the user no longer needs to hold the instrument while scanning and observe the computer screen at the same time, making it simple and convenient to operate.
[0004] However, in the technical solution disclosed in the appealed patent, the ultrasound probe is still exposed when not in use, and the external environment can easily contaminate the ultrasound probe, thus affecting its normal use. In addition, the ultrasound probe is easily knocked off by external objects, resulting in a low safety factor and affecting its service life. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a bladder capacity measuring instrument to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bladder capacity measuring instrument to solve the problems mentioned above. In existing bladder capacity measuring instruments, the ultrasound probe is still exposed when not in use, which makes it easy for the external environment to contaminate the ultrasound probe, thus affecting its normal use. In addition, the exposed ultrasound probe is easily bumped and dropped by foreign objects, resulting in a low safety factor of the ultrasound probe and affecting its service life.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a bladder capacity measuring instrument, including a placement platform, a main body on the top of the placement platform, an ultrasound probe connected to the main body via a wire, a protective cylinder on the placement platform, an elastic pad fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the protective cylinder, the ultrasound probe being placed inside the protective cylinder and in contact with the elastic pad, and the elastic pad being in a compressed state, and a clamping assembly for fixing the ultrasound probe is also provided on the placement platform;
[0007] The clamping assembly includes two sets of support frames symmetrically distributed about the center line of the protective cylinder. Each support frame includes two symmetrically arranged upright plates, which are fixedly mounted on the top of the placement platform. A pivot pin is fixedly connected between the two upright plates. A rotating rod is rotatably mounted on the outer ring of the pivot pin and moves in contact with the upright plate. A handle and an elastic pad are fixedly mounted at both ends of the rotating rod, respectively. The elastic pad and the ultrasonic probe are in contact with each other, and the elastic pad is in a compressed state.
[0008] Preferably, the main body is provided with a display and an operation panel, and the main body is placed at an angle on the placement platform.
[0009] Preferably, a telescopic rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement platform, and a base rod is movably sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the base rod, and a threaded rod is rotatably installed inside the base rod through a bearing. A bevel gear one and a bevel gear two are fixedly connected to the ends of the rotating shaft and the threaded rod that are close to each other, and the bevel gear one and the bevel gear two mesh with each other. A rotating handle is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft that extends outside the base rod. A threaded hole is provided inside the telescopic rod that is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. The horizontal cross-section of both the telescopic rod and the base rod is rectangular.
[0010] Preferably, a locking block is fixedly provided on the side of the bottom rod, an insert block is inserted into the inside of the locking block, and a collection box is fixedly connected to the end of the insert block.
[0011] Preferably, a chassis is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the base rod, and four evenly spaced connecting rods are fixedly mounted on the side of the chassis in a ring shape. Universal wheels are rotatably mounted on the bottom of the connecting rods.
[0012] Preferably, the end of the placement platform is fixedly provided with a gripping hole.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. When the ultrasound probe is not in use, place it inside the protective sleeve to avoid the problem that the ultrasound probe of the existing bladder capacity measuring instrument is still exposed to the outside during non-working periods, which can easily cause contamination of the ultrasound probe by the external environment and thus affect the normal use of the ultrasound probe.
[0015] 2. By applying a certain pressure to the ultrasonic probe through the elastic pad, the stability of the ultrasonic probe placed inside the protective cylinder is improved. When the device is hit by an external object, the elastic pad can buffer the impact force and avoid damage to the ultrasonic probe caused by the force.
[0016] 3. After the ultrasound probe is placed in the protective tube, rotate the handle with both hands at the same time to rotate the rotating rod and the second elastic pad. This causes the second elastic pad to press against the ultrasound probe and is compressed, further clamping the ultrasound probe and improving the stability of the ultrasound probe. This solves the problem that the ultrasound probe of the existing bladder capacity measuring instrument is exposed and easily knocked off by external objects, resulting in a low safety factor of the ultrasound probe and affecting its service life.
[0017] 4. Because the telescopic rod can be raised and lowered inside the base rod, the placement platform and the main body can be adjusted to a suitable height, which makes it easier for users of different heights to view the monitor and operate the control panel, thus improving the applicability of the device.
[0018] 5. Use the collection box to place medical waste to avoid environmental pollution caused by improper disposal of medical waste. When medical waste needs to be disposed of, simply pull the insert out of the card block to remove the collection box, making it easy to pour the medical waste into the designated location.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-5 The bladder capacity measuring device shown includes a placement platform 1, a main body 2 on the top of the placement platform 1, an ultrasound probe 4 connected to the main body 2 via a wire 5, a protective cylinder 3 on the placement platform 1, an elastic pad 6 fixedly disposed on the inner wall of the protective cylinder 3, the ultrasound probe 4 is placed inside the protective cylinder 3 and is in contact with the elastic pad 6, and the elastic pad 6 is in a compressed state.
[0027] When the ultrasound probe 4 is not in use, it is placed inside the protective sleeve 3 to avoid the problem that the ultrasound probe 4 of the existing bladder capacity measuring instrument is still exposed to the outside during non-working periods, and the external environment is prone to contamination of the ultrasound probe 4, which in turn affects the normal use of the ultrasound probe 4.
[0028] Furthermore, the elastic pad 6 applies a certain pressure to the ultrasonic probe 4, thereby improving the stability of the ultrasonic probe 4 placed inside the protective cylinder 3. When the device is hit by an external object, the elastic pad 6 can buffer the impact force and prevent the ultrasonic probe 4 from being damaged by the force.
[0029] To further secure the ultrasonic probe 4, a clamping assembly for securing the ultrasonic probe 4 is also provided on the placement platform 1. The clamping assembly includes two sets of support frames symmetrically distributed about the center line of the protective cylinder 3. The support frame includes two symmetrically arranged upright plates 7, which are fixedly installed on the top of the placement platform 1. A shaft pin is fixedly connected between the two upright plates 7. A rotating rod 8 that is rotatably fitted with the upright plate 7 is rotatably installed on the outer ring of the shaft pin. A handle 10 and an elastic pad 9 are fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating rod 8, respectively. The elastic pad 9 and the ultrasonic probe 4 are in contact with each other, and the elastic pad 9 is in a compressed state.
[0030] Specifically, after the ultrasound probe 4 is placed in the protective cylinder 3, both hands simultaneously rotate the handle 10, causing the rotating rod 8 and the elastic pad 9 to rotate. This causes the elastic pad 9 to press against the ultrasound probe 4 and be compressed, further clamping the ultrasound probe 4 and improving its placement stability. This solves the problem that the ultrasound probe 4 of existing bladder capacity measuring instruments is exposed and easily knocked off by external objects, resulting in a low safety factor for the ultrasound probe 4 and affecting its service life.
[0031] When it is necessary to remove the ultrasonic probe 4, hold the ultrasonic probe 4 in your hand and apply a certain force upward to make the rotating rod 8 and the elastic pad 9 rotate, and the ultrasonic probe 4 can be removed.
[0032] Furthermore, a telescopic rod 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the placement platform 1. A base rod 11 is movably sleeved on the outside of the telescopic rod 12. A rotating shaft 13 is rotatably installed on the base rod 11. A threaded rod 14 is rotatably installed inside the base rod 11 through a bearing. A bevel gear one and a bevel gear two are fixedly connected to the ends of the rotating shaft 13 and the threaded rod 14 respectively. The bevel gear one and the bevel gear two mesh with each other. A handle is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 13 that extends outside the base rod 11. A threaded hole 15 is provided inside the telescopic rod 12 that is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 14. The horizontal cross-section of both the telescopic rod 12 and the base rod 11 is rectangular.
[0033] Specifically, when users of different heights use this bladder capacity measuring instrument, they can rotate the handle to drive the rotating shaft 13 and the first bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear and the threaded rod 14 to rotate, pushing the telescopic rod 12 to move up and down inside the base rod 11, so that the placement platform 1 and the main body 2 are adjusted to a suitable height. Since the main body 2 is equipped with a display 21 and an operation panel 22, and the main body 2 is placed at an angle on the placement platform 1, it is convenient for users of different heights to view the display 21 and operate the operation panel 22, thus improving the applicability of the device.
[0034] Furthermore, a locking block 17 is fixedly provided on the side of the base rod 11, and an insert block 18 is inserted into the inside of the locking block 17. A collection box 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the insert block 18. Medical waste is placed in the collection box 16 to avoid the medical waste from being dumped randomly and polluting the environment. When medical waste needs to be disposed of, the insert block 18 can be pulled out from the inside of the locking block 17 to remove the collection box 16, so that the medical waste can be poured into the designated location.
[0035] Furthermore, a chassis 19 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base rod 11, and four connecting rods evenly distributed in a ring are fixedly installed on the side of the chassis 19. Universal wheels 20 are rotatably installed at the bottom of the connecting rods. The universal wheels 20 enable the bladder capacity measuring instrument to be moved and used conveniently, avoiding the problem of easy dropping and damage caused by human handling.
[0036] Furthermore, a gripping hole 23 is fixedly provided at the end of the placement platform 1, which facilitates the pushing of the placement platform 1 by both hands, thereby pushing the device to move.
