Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, a pleural effusion aspiration negative pressure suction device includes a reservoir bottle 1. The reservoir bottle 1 is made of transparent material and has a scale indicating the relative capacity, avoiding the error and inconsistency of traditional methods that calculate the total amount by adding the volumes of each tube. The reservoir bottle 1 is provided with a first interface 2 and a second interface 3. The first interface 2 is connected to a puncture needle assembly through a drainage tube 4, and the second interface 3 is connected to a negative pressure assembly through a connecting tube. The puncture needle assembly is used for puncturing the pleural cavity, and the negative pressure assembly is used to generate negative pressure to aspirate the effusion in the pleural cavity into the reservoir bottle 1.

[0026] The puncture needle assembly includes a needle seat 5 connected with the drainage tube 4, a puncture needle 6 connected with the needle seat 5, the puncture needle 6 adopts a 14G thin-walled puncture needle 6 (outer diameter 2.1mm, inner diameter 1.8mm), the negative pressure assembly includes a vacuum pump 7 connected with the connecting pipe, a controller 8 electrically connected with the vacuum pump 7, a piezoresistive sensor arranged in the needle seat 5, the vacuum pump 7 adopts a brushless motor vacuum pump 7, the controller 8 adopts an STM32 microcontroller 8, the controller 8 is surface-integrated with an LCD display screen, can display the cumulative liquid pumping volume, the current negative pressure value and the flow rate in real time, and is equipped with a physical knob (for presetting the target liquid pumping volume and the maximum negative pressure threshold value), the piezoresistive sensor is electrically connected with the controller 8, and the controller 8 controls the power of the vacuum pump 7 according to the negative pressure information of the piezoresistive sensor.

[0027] The specific controller 8 is automatically controlled by a resistance adaptive algorithm: based on a pleural effusion viscosity-pressure relationship model (formula: ΔP = 8μLQ / πr 4 ), ΔP represents negative pressure, μ represents the viscosity of the effusion; L represents the length of the drainage tube 4; Q represents the effusion pumping flow rate, and r represents the radius of the drainage tube 4. The piezoresistive sensor senses the negative pressure intensity in the needle seat 5, and transmits the negative pressure information to the controller 8, when the controller 8 senses that ΔP is abnormal, the power of the vacuum pump 7 is automatically adjusted, so that the Q value is stable.

[0028] Working principle: after the puncture needle 6 is successfully punctured, the target liquid pumping volume (such as 1200ml) and the maximum negative pressure limit value (such as-20kPa) are set through the physical knob;

[0029] After starting, the system pumps at an initial negative pressure of-10kPa, and the piezoresistive sensor samples the ΔP value once every 100ms, when it is detected that ΔP rises, the PID controller 8 increases the pump power in proportion (such as every ΔP+1kPa corresponds to negative pressure+0.5kPa), and maintains the flow rate at 3ml / s±0.5ml / s.

[0030] The one-way valve 9 electrically connected with the controller 8 is arranged on the drainage tube 4 and the connecting pipe, the one-way valve 9 is a one-way electromagnetic valve. When the system reaches the preset liquid pumping volume, the electromagnetic valve will be automatically closed. In addition, the top of the liquid storage bottle 1 is also provided with a one-way air inlet valve 10 electrically connected with the controller 8, and the air inlet valve is also an electromagnetic valve. Through the instruction of the controller 8, the one-way air inlet valve 10 can also be controlled to carry out air inlet operation, so as to allow external air to enter the liquid storage bottle 1 to improve the negative pressure value.

[0031] Embodiment two: as Figure 2 , Figure 3The embodiment is based on the embodiment one, and the liquid discharging device is further arranged at the bottom of the liquid storage bottle 1; in the case that the liquid in the liquid storage bottle 1 is too much or needs to be temporarily extracted for detection, the liquid discharging device at the bottom of the liquid storage bottle 1 can be used to discharge the liquid, so that more convenient operation is realized; the liquid discharging device comprises a rotating seat 11 arranged at the bottom of the liquid storage bottle 1, a mounting hole arranged on the rotating seat 11, and a top rod 14 movably mounted in the mounting hole; the mounting hole is a cylindrical hole, and the top rod 14 is a cylindrical rod matched with the mounting hole; the bottom of the liquid storage bottle 1 is provided with a liquid discharging hole 15 communicated with the top rod 14; the top rod 14 is provided with a flow channel 16 penetrating through the top rod 14 from top to bottom; the inlet of the flow channel 16 is located on the side wall of the top rod 14; the accumulated liquid in the liquid storage bottle 1 can flow out of the top rod 14 through the flow channel 16 and the liquid discharging hole 15, and the flow channel 16 and the liquid discharging hole 15 can be controlled to be connected or disconnected by moving the top rod 14.

[0032] Working principle: in the case that the accumulated liquid in the liquid storage bottle 1 needs to be discharged, the suction system should be closed first to stop operation. Then, the rotating seat 11 is rotated to adjust the position of the top rod 14 to be aligned with the liquid discharging hole 15. Then, the top rod 14 is moved upward to be inserted into the liquid storage bottle 1, so that the flow channel 16 is connected with the inside of the liquid storage bottle 1, and the accumulated liquid can be discharged through the flow channel 16. In order to facilitate the movement of the top rod 14, the bottom of the rotating seat 11 is designed with a groove 13 communicated with the mounting hole, and the bottom of the top rod 14 is located in the groove 13. One side of the top rod 14 is connected with an operating rod 12, one end of the operating rod 12 is connected with the top rod 14, and the other end of the operating rod 12 extends to the outside of the rotating seat 11, so that the top rod 14 can be easily moved up and down through the operating rod 12. After the accumulated liquid is discharged, the container can be placed below the top rod 14 for collection. After the collection is completed, the top rod 14 is moved downward, and the rotating seat 11 is rotated again to make the top rod 14 deviate from the liquid discharging hole 15. In order to enhance the sealing performance of the liquid discharging hole 15, a silica gel valve (for example, a cross-shaped silica gel valve) is arranged in the liquid discharging hole 15.

[0033] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection range of the utility model.
