Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a single-key switching device for surgical instruments and a surgical instrument. Background Technology
[0002] Surgical instruments are fundamental tools used in surgical procedures, such as staplers and ablation / irrigation electrode devices. Surgical instruments typically include a handle and buttons. The handle facilitates gripping, while the buttons control various functions. For example, ablation / irrigation electrode devices are usually used in conjunction with high-frequency surgical equipment. They utilize high-frequency electrical energy to generate a thermal effect, converting electrical energy into heat energy to heat the target tissue, causing cell protein denaturation and tissue structure destruction. Furthermore, the flushing and suction functions of the device help remove blood and other tissue from the surgical area. When using an ablation / irrigation electrode device, the user needs to switch between flushing and suction functions, usually through a trigger mechanism such as pressing an operating lever on the handle. Existing devices often have multiple operating levers; when flushing is needed, the flushing lever is pressed; when suction is needed, another lever is operated. This method makes the device complex, requiring the user to constantly switch between different fingers or use multiple fingers simultaneously, resulting in poor usability. Utility Model Content

[0027] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0028] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this embodiment of a single-button switching device for surgical instruments includes a button 1, a sliding part 2, a valve body 3, and a valve core 4. One end of the sliding part 2 is connected to the button 1, and the other end is disposed inside the valve body 3. The surface of the valve body 3 has several sets of connecting holes 31, which are located on the same cross section, i.e., the connecting holes 31 are spaced apart circumferentially. The sliding part 2 has a receiving cavity 21, through which the sliding part 2 is slidably fitted onto the valve core 4. An elastic element 5 is provided between the sliding part 2 and the valve core 4, and the elastic element 5 is compressed when the sliding part 2 moves toward the valve core 4. The valve core 4 has a guide groove 41 on its periphery, which surrounds the axis of the valve core 4. The guide groove 41 has several first limiting grooves 411 and second limiting grooves 412, which are staggered. The sliding part 2 has a slider 6, which is disposed within the guide groove 41 and slides between the first limiting grooves 411 and the second limiting grooves 412. The valve core 4 has a through hole 43, which is radially arranged, meaning it is perpendicular to the X-axis and penetrates the valve core 4. When the button is pressed, the slider 6 moves from the first limiting groove 411 to the second limiting groove 412, and the valve core 4 rotates along the axis. When the button is released, the slider moves from the second limiting groove 412 to the other first limiting groove 411, and the valve core 4 rotates along the axis. The through hole 43 of the valve core 4 is either connected to or misaligned with the connecting hole 31. In the above technical solution, if the connecting hole 31 and the through hole 43 are misaligned in the initial state, the connecting hole 31 and the through hole 43 cannot conduct electricity. By pressing button 1, the user moves sliding part 2 along the X-axis, causing it to move towards valve core 4. Elastic element 5 is compressed, and slider 6 slides along guide groove 41, causing valve core 4 to rotate. When slider 6 reaches the second limiting groove 411, releasing button 1 causes sliding part 2 to move slider 6 past the second limiting groove 411 back to the first limiting groove 411 under elastic force, thus rotating valve core 4 by a certain angle. At this point, a set of connecting holes 31 connects with through hole 43. Pressing button 1 again and releasing it causes valve core 4 to rotate by a certain angle again, misaligning connecting holes 31 with through hole 43. Pressing button 1 again and releasing it connects another set of connecting holes 31 with through hole 43. Thus, a single press of button 1 can achieve the opening, closing, opening, and closing of two connecting holes 31 in a continuous cycle. Through this technical solution, pressing the button rotates valve core 4, allowing different connecting holes and through holes to connect, and different fluids to flow through connecting holes 31 and through holes 43.
[0029] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped groove 413 is formed between the first limiting groove 411 and the second limiting groove 412. The arc-shaped groove 413 is arranged in a sawtooth pattern around the axis X, allowing the slider 6 to slide continuously within the guide groove, while the valve core rotates continuously around the axis X. The slider 6 is provided with a guide slope 61, which corresponds to the tip 414 of the first and second limiting grooves. When the slider 6 moves, the tip 414 abuts against the guide slope 61, and the slider 6 pushes the valve core 3 to rotate. The tip 414 is offset from the recess 415 and is not directly opposite it. Therefore, when the slider 6 slides into the recess 415, it passes over the tip 414, and when the slider returns to its original position, it enters another arc-shaped groove 413.
[0030] In this embodiment, the surface of the sliding part 2 has a raised strip 22, and the valve body 3 has a sliding groove 33 arranged axially. The raised strip 22 is disposed in the sliding groove 33, thereby making the sliding part 2 move more smoothly. The valve core 4 includes a wide diameter part 44 and a narrow diameter part 45 disposed at one end of the wide diameter part 44. A through hole 43 is disposed on the wide diameter part 45, and a guide groove 41 is disposed on the narrow diameter part 45. There is a gap 46 between the narrow diameter part 45 and the valve body 3. The annular part 23 of the sliding part 2 is disposed in the gap 46, thereby allowing the sliding part 2 to slide relative to the valve core. The annular part 23 has a boss 231, which is disposed corresponding to the end of the narrow diameter part 45, and is used to limit the sliding part 2. The elastic element 5 is a spring, which is arranged along the X-axis, so that the button 1 can extend and retract when pressed.
[0031] In this embodiment, each set of connection holes has two oppositely arranged connection holes 31. The valve body 3 has two sets of connection holes, that is, four connection holes. Each connection hole 31 is connected to a conduit 7. When the two oppositely arranged connection holes 31 are respectively opposite to the through hole 43, the two opposite conduits 7 can be connected, allowing fluid to enter the other conduit 7 from one conduit 7 through the through hole 43. One end of the valve body 3 is provided with a mounting seat 8, and the valve core 4 is mounted on the mounting seat 8, thereby facilitating the installation of the valve body and the valve core.
[0032] like Figure 1The image shows a surgical instrument using the aforementioned single-button switching device. In this embodiment, the surgical instrument is a flushing-aspiration ablation electrode device, including a handle 9. A conduit 7 is located within the handle 9. The single-button switching device is mounted on the handle. The conduit 7 is connected to the connection hole 31 of the valve body 3. Four conduits 7 are respectively a first flushing tube 71, a second flushing tube 72, and a first suction tube 73 and a second suction tube 74, arranged opposite to each other. Initially, the connection hole 31 and the through hole 43 are misaligned, and the conduits are not connected. After the user presses the button once, the first flushing tube 71 connects to the second flushing tube 72 through the through hole 43, allowing the flushing fluid to enter the second flushing tube 72 after passing through the through hole 43 from the first flushing tube 71. After the user presses the button again, the first and second flushing tubes disconnect. After the user presses the button again, the first suction tube 73 and the second suction tube 74 connect through the through hole 43, allowing the fluid drawn into the first suction tube 73 to enter the second suction tube 74 through the through hole 43.
[0033] The single-button switching device and surgical instrument described above enable users to open, close, and switch fluid channels with a single button press. The structure is relatively simple and convenient for users to operate.
[0034] The foregoing has described a single-button switching device for surgical instruments and the surgical instruments themselves according to this utility model. However, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Various modifications and alterations can be made without departing from the scope of the claims. This utility model includes all modifications and alterations within the scope of the claims.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
