The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0036] In the related art, for patients with weak expectoration, a sputum suction tube is generally used to help them expel sputum. In order to quickly expel sputum, visual sputum suction tubes have appeared in the prior art. In order to improve the visualization effect, the prior art adds an optical fiber in the sputum suction tube to provide illumination at the sputum suction port during the sputum suction process.

[0037] However, during the sputum suction process, the sputum suction tube will be bent, causing the optical fiber to also be bent. During the bending of the optical fiber, the refraction effect inside the optical fiber and the position of the optical fiber head will change, causing unstable illumination.
