[0023] like Figures 1-2 As shown, at least one embodiment of the pipe detachment alarm device of this application includes a warning component and a traction component;

[0024] The function of the warning component is to trigger an alarm when the drainage tube 1 is detected to be dislodged, and to remind medical staff by emitting a buzzer. The warning component includes a plastic housing 6 fixed to the patient's abdomen. The housing 6 is square, with an opening at the top and a sealed bottom. A cover can be installed on the top. A sensing element 10 is installed on the front side of the housing 6, and a buzzer element 9 is installed on the rear side of the sensing element 10. A trigger assembly is installed on the left side of the sensing element 10. The trigger assembly includes a horizontally arranged trigger rod 5. The trigger rod 5 can be a cylindrical structure. A through hole is opened on the left side of the housing 6 for the trigger rod 5 to pass through. The right end of the trigger rod 5 extends movably into the through hole on the left side of the housing 6. A pressing plate 51 is fixedly connected to the middle right side of the trigger rod 5 that extends into the housing 6. The pressing plate 51 is a circular plate. After it is fitted into the middle right side of the trigger rod 5, it is welded to the trigger rod 5. An energy storage component is fitted on the left side of the pressing plate 51 and on the pressing rod.

[0025] The traction component is used to pull the drainage tube 1 and hold the trigger rod 5 in place. When the traction component is pulled away by the drainage tube 1, the trigger rod 5 contacts the sensing element 10, triggering an alarm on the buzzer element 9. The traction component includes a traction core 11. The front end of the housing 6 has a through hole for the traction core 11 to pass through. The rear end of the traction core 11 extends movably into the through hole at the front end of the housing 6. The side wall of the traction core 11 inside the housing 6 contacts the right end of the trigger rod 5, preventing the trigger rod 5 from directly contacting the sensing element 10. A nylon traction rope 3 is fixedly connected to the front end of the traction core 11, and a ring buckle 2 is connected to the front end of the traction rope 3.

[0026] The circular ring buckle 2 body is two arc-shaped half rings made of metal, one end of which is connected together by hinging, and the other end of the two arc-shaped half rings is respectively provided with a bayonet (the specific structure and use of the circular ring buckle can refer to the existing product iron buckle ring) that can be mutually clamped. The traction rope 3 is tied on the circular ring buckle 2. The inner diameter of the circular ring buckle 2 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the drainage tube 1, so as to ensure that a certain clamping force and friction force can be generated when clamped on the drainage tube 1. When using the circular ring buckle 2, first, it is pried open front and back, and then it is pried open left and right, and then it is sleeved on the drainage tube 1. The circular ring buckle 2 is clamped together through the bayonet on the two arc-shaped half rings, and the circular ring buckle 2 is in close contact with the outer wall of the drainage tube 1 to form clamping and fixing. The outer part of the circular ring buckle 2 in the embodiment can be sleeved with a latex hose to increase the friction when contacting the drainage tube 1, and further prevent the circular ring buckle 2 from sliding on the drainage tube 1.

[0027] The bottom of the shell 6 is provided with an adhesive layer 4, which is a round piece type, and the adhesive part at the bottom of the Convex Ostomy Wafer can be used as the adhesive layer 4 of the present embodiment. The specific connection mode of the shell 6 and the adhesive layer 4 is that a layer of tearable double-sided adhesive (such as grid double-sided adhesive) is pasted on the bottom of the shell 6 and is pasted on the top of the adhesive layer 4 through the tearable double-sided adhesive. The shell 6 is separated from the patient's skin by the adhesive layer 4. The adhesive layer 4 does not secrete oil like the skin, so it will not fall off from the adhesive layer 4. When the adhesive layer 4 needs to be replaced, it only needs to be torn off from the bottom of the shell 6, and a new adhesive layer 4 can be pasted on the bottom of the shell 6 for continued use.

[0028] The inductive element 10 is preferably a pressure sensor, and the buzzer element 9 is preferably a buzzer. In the present embodiment, a controller is also used to control the inductive element 10 and the buzzer element 9. The controller uses an Arduino Uno open source electronic prototype platform, which can be powered by a computer using a data line or by a direct current of 7-12 volts. The inductive element 10 and the buzzer element 9 are respectively connected to the controller. Since the Arduino Uno open source electronic prototype platform is small in size and has a protective shell, the wires of the inductive element 10 and the buzzer element 9 can be extended and arranged on one side of the bed. The Arduino Uno open source electronic prototype platform is a product, and the connection mode of the inductive element 10 and the buzzer element 9 is also a conventional circuit connection. The corresponding code is available for download on the Internet, and this part of the prior art will not be described in detail in the present embodiment.

[0029] The energy storage member is a spring. When the pressing piece 51 moves to the left, the spring is pressed. When the pressing piece 51 moves to the right, the spring releases the pressure.

[0030] The left side of the inductive element 10, the housing 6 is provided with a longitudinal first partition 61, the side wall of the first partition 61 is provided with a through hole for the trigger lever 5 to pass through. Because the size of the trigger lever 5 extending into the housing 6 is long, the first partition 61 has the effect of supporting the trigger lever 5. The pressing piece 51 is on the left side of the first partition 61, wherein the pressing piece 51 and the first partition 61 have a moving distance, which is the distance that the right end of the trigger lever 5 moves to the right and contacts the inductive end of the inductive element 10. The right side of the first partition 61 in the housing 6 is also provided with a longitudinal second partition 62, the side wall of the second partition 62 is provided with a mounting hole, and the inductive element 10 is mounted in the mounting hole. Wherein the inductive end of the inductive element 10 is arranged on the left side, that is, opposite to the right end of the trigger lever 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, the traction core 11 is cylindrical, arranged between the trigger lever 5 and the inductive element 10, combined with Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the side wall of the traction core 11 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 112, and the right end of the trigger lever 5 is provided with a rounded corner and placed in the arc-shaped groove 112. Considering that the energy storage member pushes the pressing piece 51 to the right, so that the right end of the trigger lever 5 contacts the outer wall of the traction core 11, but because the outer wall of the traction core 11 is a smooth surface, therefore, the traction core 11 may slip due to the small contact area and small friction force between the right end of the trigger lever 5, and in the case of small amplitude movement of the patient, therefore, the purpose of designing the arc-shaped groove 112 is that the trigger lever 5 contacts the arc-shaped groove 112, only when the force of the traction core 11 slipping is greater than the force of the energy storage member compressing, the trigger lever 5 will move to the left and leave the arc-shaped groove 112, and the traction core 11 can be taken out from the housing 6, to prevent false alarm. In addition, the traction core 11 can also be a rectangular plate, and a semicircular arc-shaped groove 112 is formed on the left side of the rectangular plate, which can also replace the cylindrical traction core 11.

[0032] A plurality of sound holes for assisting the loudspeaker of the buzzer to amplify sound are formed on the top of the housing 6, and the right side of the housing 6 is provided with connectors connected with the inductive element 10 and the buzzer element 9 respectively.

[0033] The left end of the trigger lever 5 is welded with a circular flange 52, which facilitates the trigger lever 5 to be pulled to the left; the front end of the traction core 11 is provided with a flange 111, which prevents the traction core 11 from moving excessively into the housing 6 and falling off.

[0034] When using the alarm device, first, the bottom of the shell 6 is pasted with the adhesive layer 4, then the left end of the trigger rod 5 is pulled to the left to compress the energy storage member, the traction core 11 is inserted into the through hole at the front end of the shell 6 until the rear end surface of the flange 111 at the front end of the traction core 11 contacts the front end surface of the shell 6, then the trigger rod 5 is released, the spring returns to push the pressing piece 51 to the right, the left end of the trigger rod 5 moves to the right until it is stopped in the arc-shaped slot 112 of the traction core 11, and the trigger rod 5 is limited to press the sensing end of the sensing element 10. Then the ring buckle 2 at the other end of the traction rope 3 is buckled on the drainage tube 1 outside the human body 8, and the traction rope 3 is straightened. At this time, the sterile hole conduit sticker 7 is sleeved on the drainage tube 1 and is pasted on the skin of the patient's wound, the drainage tube 1 is pulled, and the ring buckle 2 clamps the drainage tube 1, which is pulled through the traction rope 3, to form double fixation. If the tube is detached, the drainage tube 1 moves the ring buckle 2, the traction rope 3 pulls the traction core 11 out of the shell 6, the trigger rod 5 is not blocked by the traction core 11, the pressing piece 51 is pushed to the left by the elastic force of the spring that is opened to the right, the right end of the trigger rod 5 moves to the right, the right end of the trigger rod 5 contacts the sensing end of the sensing element 10, the sensing end receives the pressure value, and feedback is given to the controller. When the digital pin of the controller outputs high level, the pin of the buzzer element 9 receives the high level signal, the buzzer element 9 sounds, and reminds the medical staff to handle in time.

[0035] It should be understood that all the above embodiments are exemplary but not limiting, and various modifications or variations of the specific embodiments described above made by those skilled in the art under the concept of the present application shall be within the protection scope of the present application.
