Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible microwave ablation catheter technology, specifically a fully water-cooled flexible microwave ablation catheter. Background Technology
[0002] During the use of microwave ablation catheters, a water-cooling device is required to cool the catheter. According to patent application publication number CN117322994A, a fully water-cooled flexible microwave ablation catheter utilizes full water-cooling technology. In addition to filling the plastic sheath, cooling water is injected into the space between the two antenna poles through a through-hole on the antenna reflector, allowing the cooling water to directly cool and protect the antenna radiating head. Due to the excellent thermal conductivity of the metal antenna poles, the antenna tip also maintains a low temperature.
[0003] However, in existing water-cooling devices, the connection between the circulation tube and the microwave unit is achieved through friction. During operation, the circulation tube can be pulled and easily slips off the connection. Furthermore, the smooth, rounded surface of the microwave unit makes it unstable to hold. Therefore, improvements to the existing technology are necessary. Utility Model Content

A connecting pipe 3 is fixedly connected to the right side of the microwave unit 1. A connecting ring 4 is installed on the outside of the connecting pipe 3 via a bearing. A handle 5 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting ring 4. An angle adjustment mechanism 6 is provided on the handle 5. Two symmetrically distributed circulating water interfaces 7 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the microwave unit 1. A connecting seat 8 is slidably connected inside the circulating water interface 7. A circulating pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting seat 8. A limit frame 11 is hinged to the outside of the circulating water interface 7. A support frame 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the limit frame 11. A spring 14 is provided inside the support frame 12. A limit ring 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the circulating water interface 7.
[0022] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 A sealing ring 10 is bonded inside the circulating water interface 7. The sealing ring 10 contacts the connecting seat 8. The sealing ring 10 can contact the connection between the circulating water interface 7 and the connecting seat 8. The limiting ring 13 is located outside the spring 14. The limiting frame 11 is snapped into the connecting seat 8. The limiting ring 13 can limit the spring 14. One end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the support frame 12, and the other end of the spring 14 is fixedly connected to the circulating water interface 7. The spring 14 can automatically reset the support frame 12 through its elastic force.
[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The angle adjustment mechanism 6 includes a flip frame 61, which is hinged to the outside of the handle 5. A tooth 62 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the flip frame 61, and a spring 64 is provided at the upper end of the flip frame 61. A support plate 65 is fixedly connected to the outside of the handle 5. The flip frame 61 can drive the tooth 62 to deflect. Multiple evenly distributed tooth grooves 63 are opened on the outside of the connecting pipe 3. The tooth 62 is slidably connected to the tooth grooves 63.

[0024] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: When in use, press the support frame 12, the support frame 12 drives the limiting frame 11 to deflect and compress the spring 14. Then, insert the connecting seat 8 above the circulation pipe 9 into the inside of the circulation water interface 7. When the connecting seat 8 contacts the sealing ring 10, release the support frame 12, the spring 14 returns to its original position, and the spring 14 can drive the limiting frame 11 to engage with the outside of the connecting seat 8 through its elastic force, thus completing the limiting of the connecting seat 8 and the circulation pipe 9.
[0025] When it is necessary to hold the microwave 1, push the flipping frame 61 to flip it. The flipping frame 61 drives the tooth 62 to deflect and compress the second spring 64. When the tooth 62 disengages from the tooth groove 63, the limiting of the connecting ring 4 and the handle 5 can be released. Then, turn the handle 5 to adjust it to a suitable angle for holding. After the adjustment is completed, release the flipping frame 61 and the second spring 64 returns to its original position. The second spring 64 can use its elasticity to drive the tooth 62 to engage with the adjusted tooth groove 63, thus making it easy to hold the microwave 1.
