Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of puncture auxiliary device technology, specifically relating to a fixed chair for thoracentesis positioning. Background Technology
[0002] When performing a thoracentesis, it is necessary to fix the patient's position. Usually, the patient is asked to sit in a regular chair. However, regular chairs have many problems. For example, when using a regular chair, the patient needs to face the back of the chair and maintain a certain sitting posture, with both arms placed on the back of the chair and the forehead or chin resting on the arms, which makes positioning and operation inconvenient.
[0003] A thoracentesis chair, as disclosed in utility model patent application CN221636540U, includes a seat; the front of the backrest is a convex curved surface; a sliding groove and a sliding rod are provided on the backrest support rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to a storage plate; and a box chair, the top of which is connected to the bottom of the seat via a sliding rail. This application improves patient comfort and corrects prone posture by using a convex curved backrest to ensure the backrest fits snugly against the patient's chest and abdomen, thus improving surgical outcomes. The retractable storage plate increases the storage surface area and can be hidden behind the backrest when not in use. The retractable box chair provides a seat for medical personnel to sit or kneel, thereby reducing physical exertion during thoracentesis procedures.
[0004] Because thoracentesis requires ultrasound to mark the puncture site before the procedure, the above method cannot restore the patient's sitting position during ultrasound, nor can it locate the support angle of the upper limbs or the support height of the hands, making it difficult to restore the sitting posture during ultrasound and affecting the accuracy of thoracentesis.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a fixed chair for thoracentesis positioning, wherein a chair frame 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the chair seat 2, and a hip positioning mechanism 1 is also provided on the chair seat 2;
[0028] The hip positioning mechanism 1 includes a hip positioning plate 101, which is movably mounted on one side surface of the chair seat 2. A ball screw 104 is mounted on one side surface of the chair seat 2 and is rotatably mounted in a mounting groove 103. The mounting groove 103 is located on one side surface of the chair seat 2. A nut seat 105 is also mounted on the ball screw 104 and is connected to the hip positioning plate 101. By rotating the ball screw 104, the movement position of the hip positioning plate 101 can be controlled, thereby positioning the patient's hip.
[0029] The bottom of the seat 2 is also provided with a first drive motor 106. One end of the drive shaft of the first drive motor 106 is provided with a main bevel gear 109. The main bevel gear 109 meshes with a driven bevel gear 110. The driven bevel gear 110 is located on one side of the ball screw 104. Through the transmission between the main bevel gear 109 and the driven bevel gear 110, the rotation direction of the ball screw 104 can be controlled.
[0030] Before use, the device is placed in both the ultrasound room and the puncture room. During ultrasound, the patient sits on the chair 2 and controls the movement of the buttock positioning plate 101 so that the buttock positioning plate 101 fits against the patient's buttocks. Then, the angle of the chair back 5 is adjusted by the angle adjustment mechanism 3, and the height of the armrest mechanism 4 is adjusted. The patient's buttock position, the angle of the chair back 5, and the height of the armrest mechanism 4 are recorded. The patient determines the puncture position through ultrasound.
[0031] When a patient undergoes puncture in the puncture room, based on the recorded buttock position, the first drive motor 106 drives the main bevel gear 109 to rotate, the main bevel gear 109 drives the driven bevel gear 110 to rotate, the driven bevel gear 110 drives the ball screw 104 to rotate, the ball screw nut 105 moves and drives the buttock positioning plate 101 to move, and moves the buttock positioning plate 101 to the sitting position of the patient's buttocks during ultrasound, which can accurately reset the patient's sitting position during ultrasound.

[0033] Furthermore, an auxiliary sealing plate 111 is provided on one side surface of the hip positioning plate 101. One end of the auxiliary sealing plate 111 is slidably disposed in the storage groove 107. The storage groove 107 is disposed on one side surface of the mounting groove 103 and the guide slide groove 102. During the movement of the hip positioning plate 101, the sealing plate 111 is driven to move within the storage groove 107, which can ensure the sealing of the mounting groove 103 and the guide slide groove 102 and improve the patient's comfort when sitting down.
[0034] Specifically, a scale mark is also provided on one side surface of the seat 2, which can accurately indicate the moving position of the buttock positioning plate 101.
[0035] Please see Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 The chair seat 2 has an ear seat 7 on one side surface, a backrest 5 inside the ear seat 7, and an angle adjustment mechanism 3 on one side of the ear seat 7. The angle adjustment mechanism 3 includes a worm gear 32, which is rotatably disposed inside the housing 31. Specifically, the worm gear 32 is also connected to the drive shaft of a second drive motor 34 located on one side of the housing 31. The rotation direction of the worm gear 32 can be controlled by the second drive motor 34. The housing 31 is disposed on one side surface of the ear seat 7, and the worm gear 32 meshes with a worm wheel 33. The worm wheel 33 is disposed on one side of a rotating shaft 35, which is rotatably disposed inside the housing 31, with one end of the rotating shaft 35 extending outside one side of the ear seat 7. The backrest 5 is connected to the rotating shaft 35, which can adjust the angle of the backrest 5, thereby positioning the upper limb support angle of the patient.
[0036] The angle of the chair backrest 5 is adjusted according to the ultrasound position. The second drive motor 34 drives the worm gear 32 to rotate, the worm gear 32 rotates, the worm gear 32 rotates, the worm gear 32 rotates, the rotating shaft 35 rotates, and the rotating shaft 35 drives the chair backrest 5 to rotate. This can adjust the support angle of the chair backrest 5 and reset the support angle of the patient during ultrasound.
[0037] Furthermore, an indicator needle 37 is provided on one side of the rotating shaft 35, with the end of the indicator needle 37 extending to the angle mark 36.
