[0002] In clinical medicine, drainage tubes are frequently used during surgery or treatment to drain exudate or flush out fluids. These drainage tubes often have a T-junction. When patients are lying down, turning over, or moving, they may easily bump into this T-junction, causing skin discomfort. To reduce this discomfort, sterile gauze is usually used to wrap and protect the T-junction. However, this method is not conducive to real-time observation of the drainage within the T-junction. Furthermore, if the patient moves vigorously, they may accidentally touch the regulating valve on the T-junction, potentially causing drainage obstruction and posing a certain treatment risk. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings and defects in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a drainage tube tee joint protection device, which solves the problem that the existing drainage tube tee joint protection device is not conducive to real-time observation of the drainage situation in the tee joint, and the problem that if the patient moves violently and accidentally touches the regulating valve on the tee joint, it will easily cause the drainage of the tee joint to be obstructed.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a drainage tube tee connector protection device for protecting the tee connector and the regulating valve on the tee connector, including a lower protective shell and an upper protective cover, the upper protective cover being threadedly connected to the lower protective shell, the upper side of the lower protective shell having a tee groove adapted to the tee connector, the groove having a U-shaped cross-section, the upper center of the lower protective shell having a circular groove that can accommodate the regulating valve, both the lower protective shell and the upper protective cover being made of transparent material, and both the outer surfaces of the lower protective shell and the upper protective cover being covered with a transparent soft protective layer.
[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, a rubber layer is provided on the inner wall of the three-way groove.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower protective shell is provided with outwardly expanding grooves on both sides of the U-shape at the upper end of the three-way groove.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the outer wall of the upper end of the lower protective shell is provided with an external thread, and the inner wall of the lower end of the upper protective cover is provided with an internal thread that mates with the thread of the lower protective shell.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the lower protective shell is cylindrical, and a circular chamfer is provided on the bottom circumference of the lower protective shell.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0011] 1. By setting up a lower protective shell and an upper protective cover, and covering the outer surfaces of both the lower and upper protective shells with a transparent, soft protective layer, a three-way groove is formed on the lower protective shell. During use, the three-way connector of the drainage tube can be placed into the three-way groove. In addition, a circular groove is formed in the center of the upper end of the lower protective shell to accommodate the regulating valve. The regulating valve of the three-way connector is placed into the circular groove accordingly. Then, the upper protective cover is placed on the lower protective shell, thus providing a certain degree of protection for the three-way connector and preventing skin discomfort caused by the patient turning over or moving around and touching the three-way connector. In addition, the regulating valve is embedded in the circular groove, allowing the upper protective cover to be opened to freely rotate and adjust the regulating valve. During normal use, it prevents the patient from accidentally activating the regulating valve during vigorous activity, ensuring the smooth and accurate flow of the three-way connector. Furthermore, the lower protective shell and the upper protective cover are made of transparent material, which allows for real-time observation of the flow of the three-way connector from the outside, facilitating timely detection of problems and avoiding affecting the treatment effect.
[0012] 2. By providing outwardly expanding grooves on both sides of the U-shape at the upper end of the three-way groove on the lower protective shell, it is convenient to make slight rotation adjustments to the regulating valve from the outside using tools or by inserting fingers.
[0013] 3. By setting a rounded chamfer on the bottom circumference of the lower protective shell, the smoothness of the lower protective shell is maintained, sharp edges are reduced, and the comfort of the lower protective shell in contact with the skin is improved. Attached Figure Description
