[0023] 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.

[0024] In this embodiment of the utility model, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a bladder irrigation alarm device includes a thick tube 1, a Y-shaped tube 2 connected to the top of the thick tube 1, and an irrigation mechanism 3 connected to the connection port on the top and one side of the outer surface of the Y-shaped tube 2 for bladder irrigation; a urine bag discharge port 4 connected to the bottom of the thick tube 1, and an alarm mechanism 5 provided on one side of the outer surface of the urine bag discharge port 4; a first thin tube 101 connected to the bottom of the urine bag discharge port 4, and a diverter 6 connected to the other end of the first thin tube 101; a second thin tube 102 connected to the bottom connection port of the diverter 6, and a three-way valve 7 connected to the other end of the second thin tube 102.

[0025] In this embodiment, the flushing mechanism 3 has a built-in intelligent control unit that can receive instructions from medical personnel or preset programs, automatically adjusting the flow rate, temperature, and flushing time of the flushing fluid. This ensures the accuracy of the flushing process and reduces complications that may be caused by improper human operation. The flushing mechanism 3 also has a self-monitoring function, which can promptly detect and handle potential faults, ensuring the continuity and safety of the flushing process. The alarm mechanism 5 uses advanced liquid level sensor technology to monitor the liquid level at the urine bag outlet 4 in real time and accurately. When the liquid level exceeds or falls below a preset safety threshold, the alarm mechanism is activated. 5 will immediately issue an alarm signal to remind medical staff to take timely measures, effectively avoiding the overflow of flushing fluid or the accumulation of urine in the bladder, reducing the risk of infection, and improving patient comfort. The first fine catheter 101, as a bridge connecting the urine bag discharge port 4 and the diverter 6, ensures the stability and continuity of flushing fluid during the discharge process. By precisely controlling the diameter and material of the first fine catheter 101, the flow rate and volume of flushing fluid can be optimized to avoid discomfort to the patient caused by excessively fast or slow discharge speeds. The introduction of the diverter 6 allows the device to adjust the discharge ratio of flushing fluid and urine as needed. Medical staff can flexibly control the direction and flow rate of flushing fluid and urine by adjusting the valve or switch of the diverter 6 according to the patient's specific condition and postoperative recovery progress, in order to achieve the best flushing effect. The three-way valve 7 makes the flow direction of flushing fluid and urine more flexible and controllable. Medical staff can easily achieve multi-directional flow of flushing fluid and urine by adjusting the on / off state of the three-way valve 7 according to actual nursing needs. The diameter and material selection of the second fine catheter 102, which serves as the channel connecting the diverter 6 and the three-way valve 7, are crucial for controlling the flow distribution. By optimizing the design of the second fine catheter 102, precise control of the flow rate of flushing fluid and urine can be achieved, ensuring that residual substances in the bladder are effectively removed during flushing while avoiding discomfort to the patient. Both the three-way valve 7 and the second fine catheter 102 are detachable, making it easy for medical staff to replace and maintain them in daily use. When the three-way valve 7 malfunctions or needs to be replaced, it can be quickly disassembled and replaced with a new part, thereby ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the device, facilitating the cleaning and disinfection of the device, and reducing the risk of cross-infection.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the flushing mechanism 3 includes a discharge port 301 connected to the connection port of the Y-shaped pipe 2. The other end of the outer surface of the discharge port 301 is connected to a flushing regulator 302. A soft tube 305 is provided at the front end of the flushing regulator 302. The flushing mechanism 3 also includes multiple handles 303 provided at the bottom of the flushing regulator 302, and a control switch 304 is provided on one side of the outer surface of each of the multiple handles 303.

[0027] In this embodiment, the flushing regulator 302 is responsible for regulating the flow rate and volume of the flushing fluid. It also integrates intelligent monitoring functions. The flushing regulator 302 is equipped with a precision flow sensor and pressure sensor, which can monitor the fluid flow rate, volume, and pressure changes in the bladder during the flushing process in real time. These data will be transmitted to the system control center for analysis and judgment to determine whether to trigger the alarm mechanism. The soft catheter 305 is made of medical-grade silicone material, which has excellent flexibility and biocompatibility, ensuring the comfort and safety of the patient. The end of the catheter is designed with a fine water outlet to ensure that the flushing fluid can enter the bladder evenly and gently, reducing irritation to the bladder wall. To facilitate operation by medical staff, the bottom of the flushing regulator 302 is designed with multiple ergonomic grips 303. The grips 303 are made of non-slip material to ensure a stable grip even in wet and slippery environments. The grip 303 is designed with comfort in mind for extended use, preventing hand fatigue for medical staff. Each grip 303 has a control switch 304 on one side of its outer surface. These switches are used to directly control various functions of the flushing regulator 302, such as starting or stopping flushing and adjusting the flushing speed. The control switches 304 are waterproof to ensure that they will not malfunction due to accidental touch or water intrusion during flushing. Some control switches 304 also integrate indicator lights or displays to visually show the current flushing status or parameter settings.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, the alarm mechanism 5 includes a warning bracket 505 disposed on one side of the outer surface of the urine bag outlet 4, a lifting rod 502 disposed at the center of the inside of the warning bracket 505, and a float 501 sleeved on the lifting rod 502. The alarm mechanism 5 also includes a warning device 503 disposed at the bottom of the lifting rod 502, and an indicator plate 504 disposed on one side of the front of the warning bracket 505.

[0029] In this embodiment, the buoy 501 is designed to be made of a lightweight material with moderate buoyancy, such as medical-grade foam or plastic, allowing it to rise and fall freely as the amount of urine in the urine bag increases or decreases. The buoy 501 is sleeved on the lifting rod 502, achieving direct contact with the urine surface. The lifting rod 502 is securely installed at the center of the warning bracket 505, providing guidance and support for the vertical movement of the buoy 501. The warning device 503, located at the bottom of the lifting rod 502, is one of the core components of the alarm mechanism 5. It integrates a sensor and a signal processor, enabling real-time monitoring of the positional changes of the lifting rod 502, i.e., the rising and falling state of the buoy 501. Once the buoy 501 rises due to the increase in the urine surface... If the urine level drops to a preset warning line, the alarm device 503 will immediately receive the signal and trigger the alarm mechanism. The alarm method may include an audible alarm, a flashing light, or a combination of both, to ensure that it can effectively attract the attention of medical staff even in a noisy medical environment. The indicator panel 504, located on one side of the front of the warning bracket 505, provides medical staff with intuitive visual feedback. The indicator panel 504 may have scales or color markings or indicator lights to indicate the current height range of the urine level and the position of the warning line. Even if the indicator light flashes without triggering an alarm, medical staff can quickly understand the fullness of the urine bag and make timely adjustments or interventions.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, connect the discharge port 301 of the flushing mechanism 3 to the connection port of the Y-shaped tube 2 to ensure that the flushing fluid can smoothly enter the bladder. Install the flushing regulator 302 at the other end of the discharge port 301, and guide the flushing fluid into the patient's body through the soft catheter 305. Place the urine bag in a suitable position, and connect the urine bag discharge port 4 to the diverter 6 through the first thin catheter 101 to ensure that the urine can be collected smoothly. Install the alarm mechanism 5, fix the warning bracket 505 on one side of the outer surface of the urine bag discharge port 4, and ensure that the float 501 and the lifting rod 502 can move freely. Start the flushing mechanism 3, and adjust the flow rate and flow of the flushing fluid through the flushing regulator 302 to ensure that the flushing process is both effective and comfortable. The flushing fluid enters the bladder through the soft catheter 305 to flush the surgical site, while diluting and removing the residue in the bladder. During the flushing process, urine mixes with the flushing fluid and is discharged into the urine bag through the urine outlet 4. As the flushing fluid is continuously injected and urine is discharged, the liquid level inside the urine bag changes. The float 501 rises and falls with the urine level, causing the lifting rod 502 to move within the warning bracket 505. When the urine level reaches the preset warning line, the change in position of the lifting rod 502 is detected by the sensor of the alarm device 503, which immediately activates the alarm mechanism, emitting an audible alarm. Simultaneously, the indicator panel 504 displays the corresponding visual indication. After hearing the alarm or seeing the flashing light, medical staff immediately check the information on the indicator panel 504 to understand the urine bag's filling status. Based on the alarm information, medical staff can adjust the flushing speed, change the urine bag, or perform other necessary nursing procedures. After the process is completed, if the urine level returns to a safe range, the alarm mechanism will automatically deactivate, and normal operation will resume.
