DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] This utility model is not limited to the following embodiments, and the specific implementation method can be determined according to the technical solution of this utility model and the actual situation.

[0021] In this utility model, for ease of description, the description of the relative positions of the components is based on the appendix to the specification. Figure 1 The layout is described using a diagrammatic method, such as front, back, top, bottom, left, right, etc. The positional relationships are determined based on the layout direction of the attached diagram in the instruction manual.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0023] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figures 1-6 As shown, the airway opening device based on the ratchet mechanism 11 includes an opening retainer 1, a laryngoscope tube structure, and a support block 4. The laryngoscope tube structure includes a tube end 2, a tube body 3, and a pulling structure. The pulling structure is installed on the tube end 2. The lower end of the tube end 2 is equipped with an arc-shaped tube body 3. The tube end 2 is provided with an air inlet 5 that communicates with the tube body 3. The support block 4 is hinged to the end of the tube body 3. The opening retainer 1 is provided with a first ventilation channel and a second ventilation channel 6 that are connected vertically. The lower end of the tube body 3 passes through the first ventilation channel. The pulling structure can make the support block 4 rotate upward relative to the tube body 3.

[0024] When in use, the mouth retainer 1 can be used alone for patients whose airways are easily opened. The patient bites down on the mouth retainer 1 and air enters through the second ventilation channel 6. For obese patients with short and thick necks and limited mouth opening, the tube 3 is inserted into the first ventilation channel on the mouth retainer 1 while using the mouth retainer 1. The tube 3 passes through the oral cavity, and the support block 4 is located at the epiglottis. The support block 4 is lifted by pulling the device, which lifts the support block 4 to lift the epiglottis, thereby opening the glottis and allowing air to enter. The height of the support block 4 can be controlled according to the individual patient's condition and examination needs, so as to meet the needs of more patients with different requirements and reduce discomfort or pain during the examination due to the mismatch between the device and the patient's oral structure.

[0025] The airway opening device based on the ratchet 11 mechanism can be further optimized and / or improved according to actual needs:

[0026] Example 2: As shown in the attached document Figures 1-2As shown, the pulling structure includes a threaded knob 7, a transmission shaft 8, a roller 9, and a lead wire 10. One end of the transmission shaft 8 passes through the mirror tube end 2 and is installed together with the threaded knob 7. The other end of the transmission shaft 8 is installed with the roller 9, which is located in the mirror tube end 2. The lead wire 10 is wound around the roller 9. The tube body 3 is provided with a through mounting hole. The lead wire 10 passes through the mirror tube end 2 and the mounting hole and is connected with the support block 4. By rotating the threaded knob 7 to drive the roller 9 to rotate, the lead wire 10 connected to the support block 4 is pulled, the support block 4 is lifted, the epiglottis is lifted, the glottis is opened, and the airway is exposed. The lifting degree of the support block 4 is adjusted according to the opening degree of the glottis.

[0027] Embodiment 3: as shown in the accompanying Figures 1-2 As shown, the pulling structure further includes a ratchet 11, a pawl 12, and an adjustable knob 13. The transmission shaft 8 is drivingly installed with the ratchet 11. The ratchet 11 is provided with the pawl 12 which is used in cooperation with the ratchet 11. The adjustable knob 13 is connected with the pawl 12 through a key shaft. The adjustable knob 13 is located outside the mirror tube end 2. When the threaded knob 7 is rotated, the rotating shaft and the ratchet 11 are rotated. The pawl 12 is latched on the ratchet 11. When the ratchet 11 is reversely rotated, the pawl 12 is latched in the tooth groove of the ratchet 11, so as to realize self-locking, avoid the support block 4 from moving downward to reduce the opening degree of the glottis, and affect the examination. After the examination is completed, the adjustable knob 13 is rotated to separate the pawl 12 from the ratchet 11, and the ratchet 11 is rotated to reset.

[0028] Embodiment 4: as shown in the accompanying Figure 3 As shown, it further includes a reset spring 14. The reset spring 14 is installed between the corresponding position of the support block 4 on the upper side of the end of the tube body 3. The reset spring 14 is set. When the lead wire 10 is shortened to lift the support block 4 upward, the reset spring 14 is stretched. After the examination is completed, the lead wire 10 is elongated. Under the action of the restoring force, the reset spring 14 pulls the support block 4 to reset downward, and resets the lead wire 10.

[0029] Embodiment 5: as shown in the accompanying Figure 5 As shown, it further includes a variable diameter pipe. The variable diameter pipe includes a plug-in pipe 15, an intermediate pipe 16, and a connecting pipe 17 which are installed together from bottom to top. The plug-in pipe 15 can be plugged into the air inlet 5 on the mirror tube end 2. By setting the variable diameter pipe, the oxygen pipe can be connected at the upper end of the variable diameter pipe for oxygen supply.

[0030] Embodiment 6: as shown in the accompanying Figure 6 As shown, the one-way valve is arranged in the second ventilation passage 6 of the opening maintainer 1. The one-way valve includes a rubber head 18 and a rubber body 19 which are connected together. When the patient has respiratory depression or stops breathing, the tracheal intubation can be performed through the second ventilation passage 6. The one-way valve can avoid the outflow of oxygen. The opening maintainer 1 has a double-channel of the first ventilation passage and the second ventilation passage 6, which does not affect the tracheal intubation operation in special cases.

[0031] Embodiment 7: as shown in the accompanying Figure 1 , 3 The lower end of the opening holder 1 is provided with an extension plate 20 in the shape of a circular arc, the radius of the extension plate 20 is consistent with the pipe body 3, and the upper part of the pipe body 3 is located inside the extension plate 20. By arranging the extension plate 20, the tongue can be pressed when the opening holder 1 is used alone, and the pipe body 3 can be guided and supported to maintain stability.

[0032] The above technical features respectively constitute various embodiments of the present application, which have strong adaptability and implementation effect, and unnecessary technical features can be added or reduced according to actual needs to meet the needs of different situations.
