[0033] The following is for reference. Figures 1-9 Description of a storage device 1000 for storing a suction tube according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0034] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the storage device 1000 for storing suction tubes according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: multiple storage boxes 100 and connecting components. Each storage box 100 has a storage cavity 101 for storing the suction tube. This prevents the suction tube from directly contacting external dust, bacteria, and other contaminants, and prevents contaminants from being introduced into the patient's respiratory tract during use, thereby reducing the risk of infection and improving the safety of suctioning for patients. It also prevents the suction tube from occupying the limited space next to the bed, improving the cleanliness of the ward environment and facilitating standardized ward management. Furthermore, it reduces the time medical staff spend searching for the suction tube when a patient urgently needs it, thus improving emergency response efficiency.

[0035] Storage box 100 along its length (e.g.) Figure 3 One end of the vertical direction shown (e.g.) Figure 3 The upper end (as shown) can have an opening, which facilitates medical staff to access and remove suction tubes, making operation easier. It also allows the storage cavity 101 to accommodate suction tubes of different sizes (such as length), increasing the applicability of the storage box 100. Multiple storage boxes 100 can be evenly arranged on a plane perpendicular to the length direction, and adjacent storage boxes 100 can be detachably connected, making the arrangement of multiple storage boxes 100 more organized, improving the cleanliness of the ward environment. Furthermore, different storage boxes 100 can accommodate suction tubes of different sizes (such as inner diameter), facilitating the classification and storage of suction tubes, reducing the time medical staff spend searching for suction tubes, and improving emergency response efficiency.

[0036] Understandably, each storage box 100 can be fixed with a label, and different labels can display different information (such as specifications, model, or expiration date). This helps medical staff to classify different suction tubes. That is, medical staff can put different suction tubes into the storage box 100 with the corresponding label, which can prevent different suction tubes from being mixed in the same storage box 100. This allows medical staff to take out the appropriate suction tube from the corresponding storage box 100 according to different patients, which can improve the efficiency of suction tube retrieval and placement, reduce the time medical staff spend searching for suction tubes, improve emergency response efficiency, and improve the accuracy of suction tube retrieval and placement. This can ensure the effectiveness of suctioning for patients and improve the safety of suctioning for patients.

[0037] The connecting component and the storage box 100 are detachably connected, and the connecting component can be located on the outer periphery of multiple storage boxes 100 to fix multiple storage boxes 100 in a designated position (such as bedside railing, IV stand, bedside table or wall). This can prevent the suction tube from occupying the limited space next to the bed, improve the cleanliness of the ward environment, facilitate the standardized management of the ward, improve the stability of the suction tube storage, and make it easier for medical staff to retrieve and put away the suction tube.

[0038] It should be noted that the multiple storage boxes 100 are detachable and connectable, allowing medical staff to clean, disinfect, inspect, and repair each storage box 100 individually. This extends the lifespan of the storage device 1000 and reduces its maintenance costs. Furthermore, medical staff can adjust the number of storage boxes 100 according to the number of suction tubes, ensuring a more compact structure, saving space, and preventing excessive suction tubes from occupying bedside space, thus maintaining a clean ward environment. Additionally, the entire storage box 100 can be made of transparent acrylic material, allowing medical staff to clearly observe the suction tubes inside.

[0039] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a storage device 1000 for storing suction tubes is provided. By setting multiple storage boxes 100 that can be detachably connected to each other, and by setting connecting components to fix the multiple storage boxes 100 in a designated position, the suction tube can be prevented from direct contact with external dust, bacteria and other pollutants, which can reduce the risk of infection. At the same time, it can prevent the suction tube from occupying the limited space next to the bed, which can improve the cleanliness of the ward environment, which is conducive to the standardized management of the ward. Furthermore, it can reduce the time that medical staff spend searching for the suction tube when the patient urgently needs to use it, which can improve the efficiency of emergency treatment.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the storage box 100 may include a box body 10 and a lid 20. The box body 10 may define a storage cavity 101. The box body 10 extends along its length (e.g., ...). Figure 3 One end of the vertical direction shown (e.g.) Figure 3 The upper end shown may have an opening, the cover 20 and the box 10 are movably connected, and the cover 20 can move relative to the box 10 to open or close the opening, which can improve the stability of the suction tube storage, prevent the suction tube from slipping out through the opening due to the tilting or bumping of the box 10, and facilitate medical staff to pick up and put down the suction tube.

[0041] It is understood that the box body 10 may have multiple partitions (not shown in the figure) to divide the storage cavity 101 into multiple partition slots (not shown in the figure), and each partition slot may match each suction tube in the box body 10. For example, the length of each partition slot may be adapted to the length of multiple suction tubes located in the box body 10, and the width of each partition slot may be adapted to the radial dimension of multiple suction tubes located in the box body 10. This allows the suction tubes to fit tightly with the partition slots, which can improve the stability of suction tube storage and enable individual storage of each suction tube. This can prevent multiple suction tubes in the same box body 10 from getting tangled together and facilitate medical staff to pick up and put away the suction tubes.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the box body 10 may include a bottom wall (not shown) and at least three side walls 11. For example, the box body 10 may include a bottom wall and three side walls 11, and the three side walls 11 may be disposed on the bottom wall in the length direction (e.g., Figure 4 One side of the vertical direction shown (e.g.) Figure 4 As shown on the upper side), the three side walls 11 can be connected to the bottom wall respectively, and the three side walls 11 can be connected in sequence around the outer periphery of the bottom wall to form a storage cavity 101, so that the projection of the box body 10 on the plane perpendicular to the length direction is a triangle, which can ensure the structural strength of the box body 10.

[0043] Alternatively, there can be four side walls 11. The four side walls 11 can be set on one side of the bottom wall in the length direction. The four side walls 11 can be connected to the bottom wall respectively, and the four side walls 11 can be connected in sequence around the outer perimeter of the bottom wall to form a storage cavity 101, so that the projection of the box 10 on the plane perpendicular to the length direction is a quadrilateral. This is beneficial for assembling more boxes 10 together, which can ensure that the structure of the storage device 1000 is more compact and can save space. Of course, there can be five, six or more side walls 11.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4, Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the side surface of each sidewall 11 away from the storage cavity 101 may have a protrusion 111, or the side surface of each sidewall 11 away from the storage cavity 101 may have a groove 112. The protrusion 111 and the groove 112 may be arranged alternately along the outer periphery of the box body 10. That is, on two adjacent sidewalls 11 of a box body 10, one sidewall 11 may have a protrusion 111 and the other sidewall 11 may have a groove 112. On two adjacent boxes 10, the protrusion 111 of one box body 10 may engage with the groove 112 of the other box body 10 to connect the two adjacent boxes 10. This allows for a detachable connection between multiple boxes 10 and multiple storage boxes 100, making the arrangement of multiple storage boxes 100 more organized, improving the cleanliness of the ward environment, and facilitating operation.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting assembly may include a connecting rod 200, and the side wall 11 may have a slot 113, the slot 113 being along the length direction (e.g., Figure 4 Extending in the vertical direction (as shown), the connecting rod 200 and the slot 113 can be inserted and mated, one end of the connecting rod 200 (as shown) Figure 1 The upper end shown can be moved away from the box 10 to the side (e.g., the upper end shown) Figure 1 The rear side (as shown) is bent to form a hook 201. The hook 201 can hook multiple storage boxes 100 to designated locations (such as bedside railings, IV stands, bedside tables), which can fix the storage device 1000, thereby preventing the suction tube from occupying the limited space next to the bed, improving the cleanliness of the ward environment, facilitating the standardized management of the ward, improving the stability of the suction tube storage, and making it easier for medical staff to pick up and put down the suction tube.

[0046] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting rod 200 can be threaded into the slot 113, for example, the other end of the connecting rod 200 (such as...) Figure 1 The lower end shown can have external threads, and the inner wall of the slot 113 can have internal threads, and the internal and external threads can be screwed together, which can improve the connection effect between the connecting rod 200 and the slot 113, improve the stability of fixing the storage device 1000, and improve the stability of storing the suction tube. Alternatively, the other end of the connecting rod 200 (such as...) Figure 1 The lower end shown can be interference-fitted with the slot 113 to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the connecting rod 200.

[0047] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the connecting component may further include a magnetic suction element 300, which can be connected to the side surface of the side wall 11 away from the storage cavity 101. Multiple storage boxes 100 can be magnetically attached to a designated location (such as a bedside table or wall) by the magnetic suction element 300, thereby fixing the storage device 1000. This can prevent the suction tube from occupying the limited space next to the bed, improve the cleanliness of the ward environment, facilitate the standardized management of the ward, and improve the stability of the suction tube storage. It is also convenient for medical staff to take and put away the suction tube. It is understood that the magnetic suction element 300 can be a magnet. When the storage device 1000 is magnetically attached to a designated location by the magnetic suction element 300, the storage device 1000 can also be hooked to a designated location by the connecting rod 200, which can improve the fixing effect of the storage device 1000 and improve the stability of the suction tube storage.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the cover 20 may have a first position and a second position. When the cover 20 moves to the first position, the cover 20 can close the opening. When the cover 20 moves to the second position, the cover 20 can open the opening. The storage box 100 may also include an elastic element, which may be disposed between the cover 20 and the box 10. The elastic element may be connected to the cover 20 and the box 10 respectively. When the cover 20 moves from the second position to the first position, the elastic element may undergo elastic deformation and store force until the cover 20 moves to the first position. The elastic element may release the force and restore its deformation to drive the cover 20 to move from the first position to the second position until the cover 20 moves to the second position.

[0049] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the box body 10 may have a buckle 21, and the cover 20 may have a slot 12, or the box body 10 may have a slot 12, and the cover 20 may have a buckle 21. When the cover 20 moves to the first position, the buckle 21 may engage with the slot 12 to lock the cover 20. This can improve the storage effect of the suction tube, improve the stability of the suction tube storage, and prevent the suction tube from slipping out of the opening due to the tilting or bumping of the box body 10. Medical staff can manually drive the buckle 21 to disengage from the slot 12 so that the cover 20 automatically moves to the second position under the drive of the elastic element to automatically open the opening, which is convenient for medical staff to take out and put in the suction tube and is easy to operate.

[0050] In this system, medical staff can manually move the cover 20 from the second position to the first position. The elastic element can deform elastically and store force until the cover 20 moves to the first position to close the opening. At this time, medical staff can manually drive the buckle 21 to engage with the slot 12 to lock the cover 20, which can realize the storage of the suction tube. Furthermore, medical staff can manually drive the buckle 21 to disengage from the slot 12. The elastic element can release force and restore its deformation to drive the cover 20 from the first position to the second position until the cover 20 automatically moves to the second position to automatically open the opening. This is beneficial for the placement and removal of the suction tube and is easy to operate.

[0051] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic element can be a torsion spring 30. The cover 20 and the box 10 are rotatably connected by a pivot 40. The torsion spring 30 can be sleeved on the pivot 40, and the two legs of the torsion spring 30 can be connected to the cover 20 and the box 10 respectively. When the cover 20 is in the first position, the torsion spring 30 can be in a compressed state. For example, when the cover 20 moves from the second position to the first position, the torsion spring 30 can undergo elastic deformation and store force until the cover 20 moves to the first position. The torsion spring 30 can release the force and restore its deformation to drive the cover 20 to move from the first position to the second position until the cover 20 automatically moves to the second position, which is convenient for medical staff to pick up and put down the suction tube and is easy to operate.

[0052] like Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic element can be a spring (not shown in the figure), and the cover 20 and the box 10 can be slidably connected, that is, the cover 20 can have a slider 23, and the box 10 can have a groove 14. The groove 14 can slide and engage with the slider 23, and the slider 23 can slide along a direction perpendicular to the length direction (e.g., Figure 9 The cover 20 extends in the aforementioned direction (as shown in the front-back direction), allowing it to extend along the aforementioned direction (e.g., the front-back direction). Figure 7 (As shown in the front-back direction) slides relative to the box 10.

[0053] The side of the cover 20 facing the storage cavity 101 (e.g.) Figure 9The lower side (as shown) can have a baffle 22, and a spring can be disposed between the baffle 22 and the box body 10. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the baffle 22 and the box body 10. When the cover 20 is in the first position, the spring can be in a stretched state, which can prevent the spring from interfering with the suction tube and improve the reliability of suction tube storage. For example, when the cover 20 moves from the second position to the first position, the spring can undergo elastic deformation and store force until the cover 20 moves to the first position. The spring can release the force and restore its deformation to drive the cover 20 to move from the first position to the second position until the cover 20 automatically moves to the second position, which is convenient for medical staff to pick up and put down the suction tube and is easy to operate.

[0054] The housing 10 may have a limiting post 13, which can be positioned in a direction perpendicular to the baffle 22 (e.g., Figure 8 Extending in the front-to-back direction (as shown), and in a direction perpendicular to the baffle 22 (as shown in the figure). Figure 8 In the front-back direction shown, the limiting post 13 and the baffle 22 can be positioned correspondingly. The spring can be sleeved on the limiting post 13, which can improve the stability of spring deformation, improve the stability of the cover 20 movement, and improve the stability of suction tube storage.

[0055] Other components and operations of the suction catheter storage device 1000 according to embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. In the description of the present invention, "first feature" and "second feature" may include one or more of these features. The vertical, horizontal, and front-back directions are defined as shown in the figures.

[0056] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features not in direct contact but through another feature between them. Moreover, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature include the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.
