Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a novel medical enema device. Background Technology

[0002] An enema is a technique that involves administering a specific amount of liquid through the anus and rectum into the colon to help patients cleanse their intestines, defecate, expel gas, or deliver medication via the intestines, thus achieving diagnostic and therapeutic goals. Depending on the purpose, enemas can be categorized as retention enemas or non-retention enemas.

[0003] Currently, there are two methods for performing enemas: manually holding a syringe and using an enema kit. For example, a negative pressure medical enema kit disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent Application Publication No. CN221771029U uses two clamps to hold and fix the end of the enema bag. When the liquid in the enema bag is injected into the patient's body through the extension tube, as the amount of enema fluid decreases, two compression plates squeeze the sides of the enema bag, expelling the air formed due to the decrease in enema fluid through the exhaust pipe. This prevents air bubbles from forming inside the enema bag and entering the patient's body, affecting the patient's comfort during the enema. However, in actual use, the liquid inside this enema kit... The flow rate of the enema fluid can only be controlled by a flow regulating valve. When the air inside the enema bag is squeezed, the internal medication is also compressed, causing the outflow rate to change under pressure. Relying solely on the flow regulating valve makes it difficult to control the inflow rate of the medication during enema, similar to the difficulty in controlling the infusion rate when using a syringe manually. Neither method can guarantee uniform medication distribution, easily causing discomfort to the patient. Furthermore, existing enema tubing is a one-piece structure that is discarded after a single use. Since patients may need to perform enemas several times a week, a new tubing needs to be purchased each time, increasing medical expenses and placing a financial burden on patients. Therefore, a new medical enema device is needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

Then, the motor is controlled to rotate clockwise, causing the push rod to move forward and squeeze out the medicine stored in the inner cylinder. The medicine is then inserted into the patient's intestine through the tubing, catheter, and rectal tube. The constant speed of the motor keeps the speed at which the push rod squeezes out the medicine from the inner cylinder constant, ensuring a uniform injection speed during enema and improving the comfort of use.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the inner rotating connector allows the catheter and tubing to form a detachable structure. After the enema is completed, simply rotate the inner rotating connector to separate the catheter and tubing. Only the catheter and anal tube need to be discarded. Other structures can also be disassembled for cleaning and disinfection. When performing an enema in the future, only a new catheter and anal tube need to be installed to continue the enema work, reducing the patient's medical expenses and lowering the patient's economic burden.

[0018] 3. In this utility model, the heating tube can heat and keep the liquid medicine warm after it enters the inner cylinder. This allows for a better user experience and improved comfort when the medicine is inserted into the patient's body through the anal tube during subsequent enema administration, compared to a low-temperature liquid medicine.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0027] Example: Reference Figures 1-6 The novel medical enema device shown includes a base plate 1. A clamping assembly 2 is provided on the front side of the upper end of the base plate 1.

The lower end of the infusion tube 10 is threadedly installed with an inlet valve 403, allowing the two to communicate with each other.

[0028] As an optional implementation method in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the clamping assembly 2 includes a support 201, an arc-shaped plate 202, a clamping block 203, a magnetic suction plate 204, a carrying plate 205, and a scale line 206. The arc-shaped plate 202 is located on the upper right side of the support 201. The arc-shaped plate 202 is made entirely of transparent plastic. The clamping block 203 is located on the outer left side of the arc-shaped plate 202. The two are integrated into one piece. The clamping block 203 is installed in the slot opened at the upper end of the support 201, and then a screw is used to limit the position. The magnetic suction plate 204 is located on the outer right side of both the support 201 and the arc-shaped plate 202. The carrying plate 205 is located in the middle of the right end of the arc-shaped plate 202. The scale line 206 is located on the top of the arc-shaped plate 202.

[0029] The outer cylinder 301 of the booster assembly 3 can be placed inside the support 201. Then, the arc plate 202 is placed down and spliced ​​with the support 201. The magnetic suction plate 204 at the front end of the support 201 and the arc plate 202 reinforce each other, forming a cylindrical clamping structure to fix the outer wall of the outer cylinder 301, ensuring the stability of the booster assembly 3 during operation. At the same time, the remaining liquid inside the booster assembly 3 can be seen by the scale line 206. Furthermore, when disassembly is required after use, simply pull the handle 205 to detach the magnetic suction plate 204 that is attached together, thereby opening the arc plate 202 and taking out the booster assembly 3 for cleaning.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in this embodiment, the booster assembly 3 includes an outer cylinder 301, an inner cylinder 302, a reinforcing ring 303, a heating tube 304, a contact block 305, a push rod 306, and a connecting ring 307. The inner cylinder 302 is located inside the outer cylinder 301. Both the outer cylinder 301 and the inner cylinder 302 are made of transparent glass. A reinforcing ring 303 is located at the rear end of the inner cylinder 302. The contact end between the reinforcing ring 303 and the inner cylinder 302 is fixed with adhesive, forming an integral structure. Furthermore, the reinforcing ring 303 and the outer cylinder 301 are threaded together. A heating tube 304 is located on the outer side of the inner cylinder 302. Heating tubes 304 are arranged in a ring in the cavity between the outer cylinder 301 and the inner cylinder 302. These ring-shaped heating tubes 304 are connected in series and electrically connected to the junction block 305. The junction block 305 is located at the lower end of the outer cylinder 301. A push rod 306 is located at the middle of the rear end of the inner cylinder 302. The front end of the push rod 306 passes through the rear end of the inner cylinder 302 and extends into its interior. The push rod 306 and the inner cylinder 302 form a piston structure. A connecting ring 307 is located at the rear end of the push rod 306. A threaded hole is opened above the outer end of the connecting ring 307, allowing it to be threadedly connected to the lower end of the connecting rod 505. Connected together; the diversion assembly 4 includes a conical ring 401, a three-way pipe 402, an inlet valve 403, an outlet valve 404, and a ring gasket 405. The front end of the conical ring 401 is provided with a three-way pipe 402, the upper end of the three-way pipe 402 is provided with an inlet valve 403, and the front end of the three-way pipe 402 is provided with an outlet valve 404. A ring gasket 405 is fitted onto the rear side of the outer end of the conical ring 401; the adjusting assembly 5 includes an L-shaped plate 501, a motor 502, a screw 503, a lifting ring 504, and a connecting rod 505. The rear side of the outer end of the L-shaped plate 501 is provided with a motor 502. Since the motor 502 is existing known technology, therefore, in This article will not elaborate on it in detail. The front end of the motor 502 is provided with a screw 503. The rear end of the screw 503 is spliced ​​with the transmission rod of the motor 502 to form an integral structure. The front side of the outer end of the screw 503 is provided with a lifting ring 504, which can ensure the consistency of the front and rear angles when the screw 503 rotates. The rear side of the outer end of the screw 503 is threaded with a connecting rod 505. The upper end of the connecting rod 505 is a threaded ring structure. The internal thread of the threaded ring is compatible with the external thread of the screw 503. At the same time, the lower end of the connecting rod 505 extends into the connecting ring 307 at the tail end of the push rod 306 to form an integral installation structure.

[0031] The inner cylinder 302 and push rod 306 form a piston structure. When an enema is needed, the outlet valve 404 is closed first, and then the inlet valve 403 is opened. The liquid inside the storage bottle 9 flows downward into the three-way pipe 402. When the three-way pipe 402 is full and the liquid stops flowing downward, the motor 502 is turned on, causing the screw 503 and connecting rod 505 to rotate counterclockwise. This, in turn, causes the push rod 306, connected by the connecting rod 505, to move backward, drawing the liquid from the three-way pipe 402 and the storage bottle 9 into the inner cylinder 302. When the inner cylinder 302 has completely drawn out the liquid from the storage bottle 9, the inlet valve is closed. Valve 403 opens the outlet valve 404, then controls the motor 502 to rotate clockwise, causing the push rod 306 to move forward, squeezing out the medicine stored in the inner cylinder 302. The medicine then passes through the tubing 6, catheter 701, and rectal tube 702 and finally enters the patient's intestine, initiating the enema. Throughout the process, only the inlet valve 403 and outlet valve 404 need to be manually opened and closed; other steps can be completed automatically. Furthermore, since the rotation speed of the motor 502 is preset, the speed at which the push rod 306 squeezes the medicine out of the inner cylinder 302 is also constant, ensuring a uniform injection rate of the medicine during the enema and improving the patient's comfort.

[0032] The heating tube 304 can heat and keep the liquid medicine warm after it enters the inner cylinder 302. This allows the liquid medicine to be warmed and kept warm when it is used for enema. Compared with the low temperature of the liquid medicine, it can provide a better user experience and improve the comfort of use.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the anal insertion component 7 includes a catheter 701, an anal tube 702, an internal rotation connector 703, and a protective sleeve 704. The anal tube 702 is provided at the front end of the catheter 701, the internal rotation connector 703 is provided at the rear end of the catheter 701, and the protective sleeve 704 is sleeved on the outside of the anal tube 702.

[0034] The internal rotating connector 703 allows the catheter 701 and the tubing 6 to form a detachable structure. After the enema is completed, simply rotate the internal rotating connector 703 to separate the catheter 701 and the tubing 6. Only the catheter 701 and the anal tube 702 need to be discarded. Other structures can also be disassembled for cleaning and disinfection. In subsequent enemas, only a new catheter 701 and anal tube 702 need to be installed to continue the enema work, reducing the patient's medical expenses and lowering the patient's economic burden.

[0035] Working principle of this novel medical enema device: When an enema is needed, first close the outlet valve 404 and then open the inlet valve 403. The liquid inside the storage bottle 9 will flow downwards into the three-way tube 402. When the three-way tube 402 is full and the liquid stops flowing downwards, turn on the motor 502, which will drive the screw 503 and connecting rod 505 to rotate counterclockwise. This will then drive the push rod 306, connected to the connecting rod 505, to move backwards, drawing the liquid from the three-way tube 402 and the storage bottle 9 into the inner cylinder 302. When the inner cylinder 302 has completely drawn out the liquid from the storage bottle 9, close the inlet valve 403. Open the dispensing valve 404, then control the motor 502 to rotate clockwise, causing the push rod 306 to move forward, squeezing out the medicine stored in the inner cylinder 302. The medicine then passes through the tubing 6, catheter 701, and rectal tube 702 and finally enters the patient's intestine, initiating the enema. Throughout the process, only the inlet valve 403 and the outlet valve 404 need to be manually opened and closed; the other steps can be completed automatically. Furthermore, since the rotation speed of the motor 502 is preset, the speed at which the push rod 306 squeezes the medicine out of the inner cylinder 302 is also constant, ensuring that the medicine is injected into the patient at a uniform rate during the enema, thus improving the patient's comfort.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
