[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model, and obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0019] The utility model provides a technical scheme:
[0020] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 A surgical patient drainage barrel liquid level early warning device, including horizontal beam 1, horizontal beam 1 is erected on the top of drainage barrel, the upper portion of horizontal beam 1 is installed with gantry 2, and gantry 2 is installed with liquid level alarm device, and alarm trigger mechanism is installed on horizontal beam 1;
[0021] When the liquid level in the drainage barrel reaches the set critical position, the trigger mechanism triggers the liquid level alarm device to alarm, reminding the medical staff, and specifically:
[0022] The liquid level alarm device includes a pressure sensor 4, a control box 3, and a buzzer 5 installed on the gantry 2. The control box 3 contains a controller and a power supply, which is a battery that powers the pressure sensor 4, the controller, the buzzer 4, etc. The alarm triggering mechanism includes a tube 6 that passes through the crossbeam 1. A float 8 moves through the tube 6. A float 9 is connected to the bottom of the float 8. A top plate 7 is installed on the top of the float 8. The top plate 7 is opposite to the pressure sensor 4, and the diameter of the top plate 7 is larger than the diameter of the tube 6.
[0023] The crossbeam 1 is placed directly on top of the drain tank. At this time, the float 9 enters the drain tank. Under the action of gravity, the float rod 8 sinks, and the top plate 7 of the float rod presses on the pipe body 6. When the liquid level comes into contact with the float 9, under the action of buoyancy, the float 9 drives the float rod 8 to move upward, causing the top plate 7 of the float rod 8 to hit the pressure sensor 4 above. The pressure sensor 4 transmits the pressure signal to the controller, and the controller controls the buzzer 5 to work. The signal transmission and conversion of the pressure sensor 4 and the controller control of the buzzer are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.
[0024] In the above, the pipe body 6 is a threaded pipe, and the middle part of the crossbeam 1 is provided with an internal threaded hole 14. The pipe body 6 is threadedly connected to the internal threaded hole 14, so that the pipe body 6 can be adjusted to move up and down on the crossbeam 1 to change the liquid level alarm position.
[0025] Furthermore, while the above measures can effectively alert medical staff, liquids can still overflow if they are unable to respond promptly. Therefore, a temporary liquid storage structure is needed to prevent spills, specifically:
[0026] This structure also includes an anti-overflow structure. The crossbeam 1 is a hollow plastic structure. One end of the crossbeam 1 is connected to a drain plug 12. The anti-overflow structure is installed on the crossbeam 1 and includes a pump box 10, a suction pipe 11, and a drain pipe 13. The pump box 10 contains a suction pump. The suction pipe 11 is connected to the suction pump, and the inlet end of the suction pipe 11 extends to the lower part of the crossbeam 1. The drain pipe 13 is connected between the suction pump and the crossbeam 1. That is, once an alarm is triggered and medical staff do not handle it, as the liquid level in the drain tank rises, the liquid level contacts the inlet end of the suction pipe 11, and the pump in the pump box 10 is activated to draw liquid into the crossbeam 1 for temporary storage. Later, the drain plug 12 can be pulled out to drain the waste liquid in the crossbeam 1.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
