[0035] This utility model proposes a medical device that can be applied to any device with a main unit and an external module, and is not limited thereto.
[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 6In some embodiments of this utility model, the medical device includes a device body 10, a module 20, a first support 30, and a second support 40; the module 20 is electrically connected to the device body 10 via at least one cable 11; the first support 30 is provided with a connecting arm 301 and a support arm 302 connected to the connecting arm 301, the connecting arm 301 is mounted on the device body 10, and the support arm 302 is connected to the module 20; the second support 40 is connected to the first support 30 and is provided with a limiting part for restricting the movement of the end of the cable 11 connected to the module 20.
[0037] The main body 10 can be a monitoring device, such as a maternal-fetal monitoring device. The maternal-fetal monitoring device and the external module 20 together constitute the medical device described in this invention. Optionally, the module 20 is an external module located outside the maternal-fetal monitoring device, such as a WIFI module, Bluetooth module, Zigbee module, 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G / 6G module, or GPS module; any externally mountable module 20 is applicable. Optionally, the external module 20 can be used to forward monitoring data and includes a screen, setting buttons, page-turning buttons, an Ethernet interface, and a Type-C interface. The maternal-fetal monitoring device is connected to the external module 20 via a wired Ethernet connection, and to ensure the connection, the maternal-fetal monitoring device and the external module 20 need to be on the same network segment. Specifically, users can enter the settings mode of external module 20 by long-pressing the page-turning button, and then enter the network settings page of external module 20 by pressing the settings button. This allows users to configure the SSID, port number, IP address, and other information of the target AP corresponding to external module 20, ensuring network connectivity with the maternal-fetal monitoring device. This enables the maternal-fetal monitoring device to wirelessly transmit the collected monitoring data to the central monitoring system via Ethernet connection. The central monitoring system can be a medical device that manages multiple monitoring devices, capable of receiving, storing, analyzing, and displaying the monitoring data (fetal monitoring data) transmitted from these devices.
[0038] In this embodiment, both the first support 30 and the second support 40 can be plate-shaped, sheet-shaped, or irregularly shaped, and can be made of metal or plastic, or a combination of both. Both the first support 30 and the second support 40 can be integral structures or separate structures, that is, structures assembled from several parts; to save material costs and facilitate processing and assembly, both supports are preferably integral structures, but this is not limited here.
[0039] Multiple mounting holes can be provided on the connecting arm 301 of the first bracket 30. These holes are connected to the corresponding mounting holes on the device body 10 using screws, thereby fixing the first bracket 30 to the device body 10. Multiple fixing holes can be provided on the support arm 302 of the first bracket 30 to mate with the screw holes on the back of the module 20, thereby fixing the external module 20 to the first bracket 30. Of course, in some other embodiments, snap-fit, adhesive bonding, or welding can also be used to connect the first bracket 30 to the device body 10, or the first bracket 30 to the module 20. Furthermore, the first bracket 30 and the second bracket 40 can also be connected by threaded connections, snap-fit, adhesive bonding, or welding, etc., which is not limited here.
[0040] The limiting part of the second bracket 40 can be a block-shaped or sheet-shaped blocking structure set in one or more directions (the movement trajectory of the cable 11 detaching from the interface) on the end of the cable 11. It can also be a clamping or pressing structure that clamps or presses the end of the cable 11 onto the main body 10 of the equipment. It can be designed according to the specific cable 11 connector. The number of limiting parts is at least one, depending on the specific number of cables 11, and is not limited here.
[0041] It is understood that this utility model improves the fixing method of the module 20 of the monitor and the main body 10 of the device. The module 20 is fixed on the device by setting the first bracket 30, and the cable 11 of the module 20 is limited by setting the second bracket 40, which effectively prevents the cable 11 from loosening or falling off during the transfer, collision or accidental pulling of the monitoring device.
[0042] In this embodiment, the module 20 should be designed as close as possible to the cable 11 interface of the device body 10, so as to shorten the length of the cable 11 as much as possible and reduce the volume of the first bracket 30 and the second bracket 40. This helps to prevent the cable 11 from being pulled too long and also saves costs.
[0043] To save material costs, facilitate processing, and improve assembly convenience, refer to Figures 1 to 6 In some embodiments, the second bracket 40 may include a bracket body 401 and at least one stop arm 402 disposed on the bracket body 401. The stop arm 402 is used to restrict the movement of the end connector of the cable 11 in the direction of disengaging from the corresponding interface of the device body 10, so as to form a limiting part.
[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the stop arm 402 includes two folded edges. One folded edge corresponds to the network cable connector to prevent the network cable plug from moving up and down and coming out of the interface or becoming loose. The other folded edge corresponds to the Type-C plug to prevent the Type-C plug from moving backward and coming out of the interface or becoming loose.
[0045] Main reference Figures 4 to 6 In one embodiment, the second support 40 may further include an extension arm 403 connected to the support body 401, the extension arm 403 abutting against the first support 30. When all components of the medical device are installed in place, the extension arm 403 maintains contact with the first support 30 or leaves a certain gap. When the second support 40 or the module 20 is subjected to external force, the extension arm 403 can abut against the first support 30, and the two will exert a force on each other, thereby preventing the second support 40 and the first support 30 from rotating relative to each other and causing the position of the module 20 and its cable 11 to change, which helps to improve the reliability of the module 20 installation.
[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 6 In some embodiments, the connecting arm 301 may be provided with an anti-rotation edge 303. The aforementioned extension arm 403 abuts against the inner side of the anti-rotation edge 303 of the first bracket 30, and the outer side of the anti-rotation edge 303 abuts against the concave side of the interface side of the device body 10, so as to prevent the first bracket 30 from rotating when an external force is applied to the module 20 or the device body 10. This arrangement can prevent the first bracket 30 from rotating relative to the device body 10, thereby affecting the reliability of the connection between the module 20 and the device body 10.
[0047] To ensure the external module 20 is grounded, thereby improving its safety and meeting electrical requirements, please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the support arm 302 may be provided with a conductive part 304, which is in conductive contact with the grounding part of the module 20.
[0048] In this embodiment, the conductive part 304 may be a spring-loaded structure, a conductive bump, or several conductive bumps located in the middle of the support arm 302. Preferably, the conductive part 304 is configured as a spring-loaded structure, which not only enables conductive contact but also helps to improve the reliability of the connection between the support arm 302 and the module 20.
[0049] To further improve the ease of assembly, refer to Figure 6 In some embodiments, the support body 401 of the second support 40 is connected to the connecting arm 301 of the first support 30; see reference Figure 6 In some other embodiments, the support body 401 of the second bracket 40 is connected to the support arm 302 of the first bracket 30. The installation position and method between the first bracket 30 and the second bracket 40 can be determined according to the specific application scenario, and are not limited here.
[0050] In this embodiment, a connecting post 305 may be provided on the first bracket 30. (Main reference) Figure 6In a specific application scenario, the connecting column 305 supports the second bracket 40 and is fixed to it with screws to suspend the second bracket 40 on the first bracket 30. (Main reference) Figure 3 In another specific application scenario, one end of the connecting column 305 is inserted into the first bracket 30 and threadedly connected to the screw on the second bracket 40 so that the second bracket 40 is mounted against the first bracket 30.
[0051] Main reference Figure 6 In this embodiment, the first bracket 30 may be provided with positioning posts 306, and the second bracket 40 is positioned relative to the first bracket 30 through the positioning posts 306. This ensures the installation accuracy of the module 20.
[0052] Mainly based on reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the module 20 of the medical device may include a housing 201, stud-fitted backing plates 202, a circuit assembly 203, a base plate 204, and a cover plate 205. Two stud-fitted backing plates 202 are respectively disposed on both sides of the housing 201 and connected to each other. The circuit assembly 203 is mounted on one of the stud-fitted backing plates 202, and the base plate 204 is attached to the stud-fitted backing plate 202. The cover plate 205 covers the other stud-fitted backing plate 202. This arrangement eliminates the need for studs on the base plate 204, resulting in a smoother appearance without rivet marks and a more aesthetically pleasing industrial look for the medical device. Furthermore, this structural design facilitates assembly and improves production efficiency.
[0053] The above description is only an optional embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
