Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a graduated transparent measuring cylinder. Background Technology
[0002] During surgical procedures, the use of irrigation fluid is crucial for ensuring a clear surgical field and reducing the risk of infection. Accurately measuring the intake and output of irrigation fluid is essential for assessing the progress of the surgery, monitoring the patient's fluid balance, and preventing complications such as hyponatremia and volume overload. It also facilitates the timely detection of situations where intake is excessive and output is insufficient, allowing for early intervention and prevention of ascites and surgical accidents.
[0003] Existing measurement methods mostly use ordinary cylindrical containers to hold the output, which are opaque, have no graduations, and cannot be directly counted. They can only be roughly estimated and cannot accurately count the output of the flushing fluid. They also cannot detect abnormalities in the inflow and outflow in a timely manner, causing many problems for medical staff. Therefore, it is necessary to design a transparent measuring container with graduations to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a graduated transparent measuring cylinder to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a graduated transparent measuring cylinder, comprising a measuring cylinder and a lid, wherein a transparent window is sealed on one side of the measuring cylinder, and two sets of support plates are respectively installed on one side of the inside of the measuring cylinder, wherein the interior of the two sets of support plates is provided with sliding grooves, and a lifting plate is slidably connected between the two sets of sliding grooves, wherein a suspended ball is installed inside the lifting plate;
[0006] An indicator is installed on one side of the lifting plate, and multiple sets of scale grooves are opened on one side of the measuring cylinder. The box cover is hinged to the top of the measuring cylinder, and a locking seat is installed on one side of the measuring cylinder. A limit component is installed between the inside of the locking seat and the box cover.
[0007] Preferably, the limiting component includes a mounting groove, a locking frame, a spring, a plug rod, a locking plate, and a reset component. The mounting groove is formed inside the locking seat. The locking frame is installed inside one end of the mounting groove. The spring is installed inside one end of the mounting groove. The reset component is installed at one end of the spring and slides outside the locking frame. The plug rod is connected inside the reset component and slidably connected inside the locking frame. The locking plate is installed on one side of the cover.
[0008] Preferably, the reset assembly includes a movable frame and a button. The movable frame is connected to one end of the spring and can move outside the locking frame. The button is installed on one side of the movable frame and the other end of the movable frame extends to the outside of the locking seat. A telescopic rod is installed between the inner end of the mounting groove and the movable frame, and the telescopic rod is located inside the spring.
[0009] Preferably, sealing strips are installed on one side of the measuring cylinder and the lid, and the two sets of sealing strips overlap when the lid is engaged with the top of the measuring cylinder.
[0010] Preferably, a solenoid valve is installed at one bottom side of the measuring cylinder, and one end of the solenoid valve is detachably connected to a drain pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom end of the measuring cylinder is connected to two sets of universal wheels by a bearing, and the two sides of one end of the measuring cylinder are respectively connected to rollers by bearings.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. By using a transparent window sealed on one side of the measuring cylinder, when the irrigation fluid is poured into the measuring cylinder, the suspension principle keeps the suspended ball at the top of the irrigation fluid. As the irrigation fluid rises and falls, it pushes the suspended ball to move. The suspended ball drives the lifting plates installed on both sides to slide in the grooves opened inside the support plate, preventing the suspended ball from deviating. Through the transparent window, the indicator installed on one side of the lifting plate points to multiple sets of scale grooves opened on the side of the measuring cylinder, so that the inflow and outflow of irrigation fluid during surgery can be measured. The limiting component installed between the locking seat on one side of the measuring cylinder and the lid makes the lid fixed at the top of the measuring cylinder.
[0014] 2. Insert the locking plate into the locking frame inside the locking seat and press the insert rod inside the locking frame. The insert rod presses the moving frame, and the moving frame presses the spring. As the insert rod moves, combined with the reaction force of the spring, the insert rod is inserted into the locking plate, fixing the box cover to the top of the measuring cylinder. Press the button to push the moving frame, which presses the spring. At the same time, the moving frame moves the insert rod, causing the insert rod to disengage from the locking frame and release the limiting force on the locking plate. Flip the cover and lock it onto the top of the measuring cylinder. The sealing strip installed on one side of the measuring cylinder and the box cover overlaps to prevent the flushing fluid from leaking out. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Example 1
[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a graduated transparent measuring cylinder, including a measuring cylinder 1 and a lid 9. A transparent window 2 is sealed on one side of the measuring cylinder 1. Two sets of support plates 3 are installed on the inside side of the measuring cylinder 1. The inside of the two sets of support plates 3 is provided with sliding grooves 4. A lifting plate 5 is slidably connected between the two sets of sliding grooves 4. A suspended ball 6 is installed inside the lifting plate 5.
[0023] An indicator 7 is installed on one side of the lifting plate 5. Multiple sets of scale grooves 8 are opened on one side of the measuring cylinder 1. The box cover 9 is hinged to the top of the measuring cylinder 1. A locking seat 11 is installed on one side of the measuring cylinder 1. A limit component is installed between the inside of the locking seat 11 and the box cover 9.
[0024] Specifically, through the transparent window 2 sealed on one side of the measuring cylinder 1, when the rinsing fluid is poured into the measuring cylinder 1, the suspension ball 6 is kept at the top of the rinsing fluid by the principle of suspension. As the rinsing fluid rises and falls, it pushes the suspension ball 6 to move. The suspension ball 6 drives the lifting plates 5 installed on both sides to slide in the grooves 4 opened inside the support plate 3, so as to prevent the suspension ball 6 from deviating. Through the transparent window 2, the indicator 7 installed on one side of the lifting plate 5 points to the multiple sets of scale grooves 8 opened on the side of the measuring cylinder 1, so as to measure the inflow and outflow of the rinsing fluid during the operation. The limiting component installed between the locking seat 11 on one side of the measuring cylinder 1 and the box cover 9 fixes the box cover 9 to the top of the measuring cylinder 1.
[0025] The limiting assembly includes a mounting groove 12, a locking frame 13, a spring 15, a rod 17, a locking plate 18, and a reset assembly. The mounting groove 12 is located inside the locking seat 11. The locking frame 13 is installed at one end inside the mounting groove 12. The spring 15 is installed at one end inside the mounting groove 12. The reset assembly is installed at one end of the spring 15 and slides on the outside of the locking frame 13. The rod 17 is connected inside the reset assembly and slidably connected inside the locking frame 13. The locking plate 18 is installed on one side of the cover 9. The locking plate 18 is inserted into the locking frame 13 inside the locking seat 11 and presses the rod 17 inside the locking frame 13. The rod 17 presses the reset assembly, and the reset assembly presses the spring 15. As the rod 17 moves and cooperates with the reaction force of the spring 15, the rod 17 is inserted into the locking plate 18, fixing the cover 9 to the top of the measuring cylinder 1.
[0026] The reset assembly includes a movable frame 16 and a button 19. The movable frame 16 is connected to one end of the spring 15 and can move outside the locking frame 13. The button 19 is installed on one side of the movable frame 16 and the other end of the movable frame 16 extends to the outside of the locking seat 11. A telescopic rod 14 is installed between the inner end of the mounting groove 12 and the movable frame 16 and the telescopic rod 14 is located inside the spring 15. By pressing the button 19, the button 19 pushes the movable frame 16 to move, the movable frame 16 squeezes the spring 15, and at the same time the movable frame 16 drives the insertion rod 17 to move, so that the insertion rod 17 disengages from the locking frame 13 and releases the limit on the locking plate 18.
[0027] Among them: sealing strips 10 are installed on one side of measuring cylinder 1 and box cover 9 respectively. When box cover 9 is locked on the top of measuring cylinder 1, the two sets of sealing strips 10 overlap. By flipping the cover plate 9, it is locked on the top of measuring cylinder 1. The sealing strips 10 installed on one side of measuring cylinder 1 and box cover 9 overlap to prevent the flushing liquid from leaking out.
[0028] Among them: a solenoid valve 20 is installed at the bottom of one side of the measuring tank 1. One end of the solenoid valve 20 is detachably connected to a drain pipe 21. By opening the solenoid valve 20, the rinsing liquid in the measuring tank 1 is discharged through the connected drain pipe 21. The drain pipe 21 is detachably connected to one end of the solenoid valve 20 and can be replaced with drain pipes of different lengths.
[0029] Among them: the bottom end of the measuring cylinder 1 is connected to two sets of universal wheels 22 by a bearing, and the two sides of the measuring cylinder 1 are respectively connected to rollers 23 by bearings. The measuring cylinder 1 is moved by the two sets of universal wheels 22 connected to the bottom bearing and the rollers 23 installed on the two sides of the measuring cylinder 1.
[0030] Working Principle: This utility model provides a graduated transparent measuring cylinder. When rinsing fluid is poured into the measuring cylinder 1, the suspension ball 6 remains at the top of the rinsing fluid due to the principle of levitation. As the rinsing fluid rises and falls, it pushes the suspension ball 6 to move. The suspension ball 6 drives the lifting plates 5 installed on both sides to slide within the grooves 4 inside the support plate 3, preventing the suspension ball 6 from shifting. Through the transparent window 2, the indicator 7 installed on one side of the lifting plate 5 points to multiple sets of graduated grooves 8 on one side of the measuring cylinder 1, thus observing the usage of the rinsing fluid in the measuring cylinder 1. The cylinder lid 9 is then turned over, and the locking plate 18 installed on one side of the lid 9 inserts into the locking seat 1. The insert rod 17 inside the locking frame 13 is pressed and pushed by the locking frame 13. The insert rod 17 pushes the moving frame 16, which in turn pushes the spring 15. As the insert rod 17 moves and with the reaction force of the spring 15, the insert rod 17 is inserted into the locking plate 18, fixing the box cover 9 to the top of the measuring tank 1. The solenoid valve 20 is opened to discharge the rinsing liquid in the measuring tank 1 through the connected drain pipe 21. The drain pipe 21 is detachably connected to one end of the solenoid valve 20 and can be replaced with drain pipes of different lengths.
