Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical tool technology, and in particular to a fixing structure for a connecting tube. Background Technology

[0002] Clinically, some patients need to use a suction device to clear sputum from their airways due to difficulty in expectorating.

[0003] The connecting tube between the suction device and the suction catheter does not directly contact the patient's airway, so it is usually reused for the same patient. After suctioning, the suction catheter used by the patient needs to be disconnected from the connecting tube on the suction device and discarded. The disconnected connecting tube is usually placed directly on the bedside table or the suction device. When the patient needs suctioning again, a new suction catheter can be directly connected to the connecting tube to establish connection between the suction catheter and the suction device.

[0004] However, due to the long length of the connecting pipe and the lack of proper fixation, the connecting pipe is prone to falling to the ground and becoming contaminated. Even if the connecting pipe does not fall to the ground, its interior is easily contaminated due to prolonged exposure to ambient air. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a fixing structure for the connecting tube, which solves the technical problem that the connecting tube of existing suction devices is easy to fall to the ground and is easily contaminated.

[0006] This application provides a fixing structure for a connecting pipe, including a support base and a sealing plug. The support base is used to fix the pipe to a wall and has a first mounting portion. The sealing plug has a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion disposed on the first connecting portion. The first connecting portion is detachably connected to the first mounting portion. The second connecting portion is used to be inserted and sealed inside the connecting pipe. The diameter of the second connecting portion gradually decreases along the direction from the first connecting portion to the second connecting portion.

[0007] Optionally, the support base has a first plate and a second plate facing each other, the first mounting part is disposed on the first plate, the axis of the second connecting part is perpendicular to the first plate, and the second plate is used to be attached to and fixed to the wall.

[0008] Optionally, the first mounting part has a first slot, and the first connecting part is inserted into the first slot.

[0009] Optionally, the second panel surface is provided with an adhesive layer.

[0010] Alternatively, the support base may be a flexible plate.

[0011] Optionally, the support base is connected to a snap-fit ​​element, which has a snap-fit ​​groove for fixing the body of the connecting pipe.

[0012] Alternatively, the slot may be horizontally positioned along its length.

[0013] Optionally, the support base is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​connector.

[0014] Optionally, the support base is provided with a second mounting part, the second mounting part having a second slot, and the snap-fit ​​member is inserted into the second slot.

[0015] Optionally, a cap is also included, which covers the second connection portion and is detachably and sealingly connected to the first connection portion.

[0016] The fixing structure for the connecting tube provided in this application uses a support base to provide an installation foundation for the sealing plug. The support base can be fixed to the wall at the head of the bed in the ward, allowing the sealing plug to be installed on the wall. By setting the second connecting part of the sealing plug to have a gradually decreasing diameter, the second connecting part of the sealing plug can be more easily inserted into the connecting tube and fixedly connected to the connecting tube, thus securing the connecting tube and reducing the chance of it falling to the ground. After the second connecting part is inserted into the connecting tube, it can seal the end of the connecting tube, reducing the chance of the connecting tube being contaminated. In addition, by detachably connecting the first connecting part to the first mounting part on the support base, the sealing plug can be replaced, avoiding the hygiene problems caused by different patients sharing a single sealing plug.

These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0028] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application.

[0029] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” “fourth,” etc., as used in this application (if applicable), are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in a sequence other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0030] In this application, the terms "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of terms such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0031] In related technologies, the connecting tube between the suction device and the suction catheter does not directly contact the patient's airway, so it is often reused for the same patient. However, the used suction catheter is often quite long and not properly secured, making it prone to falling to the ground and becoming contaminated due to collisions or its own weight. Even if it doesn't fall, it is easily contaminated by prolonged exposure to ambient air. Furthermore, after changing patients,

[0032] In view of this, the fixing structure of the connecting tube provided in this application provides an installation base for the sealing plug by setting a support base. The support base can be fixed to the wall at the head of the bed in the ward, so that the sealing plug can be installed on the wall. By setting the second connecting part of the sealing plug to have a gradually decreasing diameter, the second connecting part of the sealing plug can be more easily inserted into the connecting tube and fixedly connected to the connecting tube, thereby fixing the connecting tube and reducing the chance of the connecting tube falling to the ground. After the second connecting part is inserted into the connecting tube, it can seal the end of the connecting tube, reducing the chance of the connecting tube being contaminated. In addition, by detachably connecting the first connecting part to the first mounting part on the support base, the sealing plug can be replaced, avoiding the hygiene problems caused by different patients sharing a single sealing plug.

[0033] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the fixing structure of the connecting pipe provided in this application includes a support 100 and a sealing plug 200. The support 100 is provided with a first mounting portion 110. The sealing plug 200 has a first connecting portion 210 and a second connecting portion 220 provided on the first connecting portion 210. The first connecting portion 210 is detachably connected to the first mounting portion 110. The second connecting portion 220 is used to be inserted and sealed inside the connecting pipe. Along the direction from the first connecting portion 210 to the second connecting portion 220, the diameter of the second connecting portion 220 gradually decreases.

[0035] With the above solution, after the support base 100 is fixed to the wall, it provides an installation base for the sealing plug 200. Through the detachable connection between the first connecting part 210 on the sealing plug 200 and the first mounting part 110 on the support base 100, the sealing plug 200 can be detachably connected to the wall. This allows for individual replacement of the sealing plug 200 after removal, avoiding hygiene problems caused by different patients sharing a single sealing plug 200. Furthermore, by setting the second connecting part 220 of the sealing plug 200 to have a gradually decreasing diameter—that is, the diameter of the end of the second connecting part 220 connected to the first connecting part 210 is larger than the diameter of the end of the second connecting part 220 away from the first connecting part 210—the end of the second connecting part 220 away from the first connecting part 210 can be more easily inserted into the connecting tube and fixedly connected to it, thus securing the connecting tube and reducing the chance of it falling to the ground. Meanwhile, the second connecting part 220, once inserted into the connecting tube, can seal the end of the connecting tube, reducing the chance of the connecting tube being contaminated.

[0036] It is understandable that suction devices are usually placed on the bedside table next to the patient's bed or hung on the side of the bedside table. However, the height of the bedside table is usually low, and medical staff need to bend over to take the connecting tube. Since there may be many patients in the inpatient department who need to have their sputum drained, this can easily lead to medical staff bending over frequently, which can easily cause lumbar strain.

[0037] In view of this, the installation height of the support 100 on the wall can be adjusted so that the first installation part 110 can be at a suitable height, so that medical staff can connect or disconnect the connecting tube and the sealing plug 200 without bending over, thereby reducing the number of times medical staff have to bend over.

[0038] To improve the sealing effect when the second connecting portion 220 of the sealing plug 200 is connected to the connecting pipe, in some optional embodiments, a plurality of annular sealing portions 221 are provided on the outer wall of the second connecting portion 220 along the direction from the first connecting portion 210 to the second connecting portion 220. The annular sealing portions 221 are elastic. When the second connecting portion 220 is inserted into the connecting pipe, at least one of the annular sealing portions 221 can be elastically deformed by the compression of the inner wall of the connecting pipe to seal between the connecting pipe and the second connecting portion 220.

[0039] When medical staff or patients need to connect the connecting tube and the suction tube, they usually hold the connecting tube with one hand and the suction tube with the other hand, and then connect the connecting tube to the suction tube.

[0040] In view of this, in some alternative embodiments, the support base 100 has opposing first and second plate surfaces, a first mounting portion 110 is disposed on the first plate surface, the axis of the second connecting portion 220 is perpendicular to the first plate surface, and the second plate surface is used to be attached to and fixed to the wall surface.

[0041] By setting the axis of the second connecting part 220 perpendicular to the first plate surface, after the support base 100 is installed on the wall, the second connecting part 220 can extend in a direction away from the wall. This makes it convenient for patients or medical staff to hold the connecting tube with one hand and connect or disconnect the connecting tube from the second connecting part 220. It also allows patients or medical staff to quickly connect the connecting tube to the suction catheter after removing the sealing plug 200.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, regarding the specific connection structure between the first connecting part 210 and the first mounting part 110, in some optional embodiments, the first mounting part 110 has a first slot 111, and the first connecting part 210 is inserted into the first slot 111. This insertion method enables quick connection or separation of the first mounting part 110 and the first connecting part 210.

[0043] Optionally, an annular connecting portion 211 is provided at the end of the first connecting portion 210 away from the second connecting portion 220. The annular connecting portion 211 is adapted to the first slot 111 so that the annular connecting portion 211 can be inserted into the first slot 111, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the first connecting portion 210 and the first mounting portion 110.

[0044] Optionally, to prevent the sealing plug 200 from disengaging from the support base 100 when the connecting tube is pulled out, in some optional embodiments, the insertion direction of the first connecting part 210 into the first slot 111 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the second connecting part 220. In this way, the sealing plug 200 will not disengage from the support base 100 when the connecting tube is inserted into or pulled out.

[0045] Optionally, the depth direction of the first slot 111 is parallel to the surface of the first plate, so that the first connecting part 210 can be inserted into the first slot 111 along the surface of the first plate, making the insertion process more convenient.

[0046] Optionally, the first slot 111 can be a dovetail groove or a T-groove, and the first connecting part 210 slides within the dovetail groove or T-groove.

[0047] Regarding the specific method of fixing the support base 100 to the wall, in some optional embodiments, an adhesive layer 120 is provided on the second panel. The adhesive layer 120 enables the support base 100 to be adhered and fixed to the wall at the head of the patient's bed.

[0048] Optionally, the adhesive layer 120 can be made of double-sided tape. Using double-sided tape eliminates the need for drilling holes in the wall, thus avoiding damage to the wall. Furthermore, it allows for easier adjustment of the installation height of the support base 100.

[0049] Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting part 210 can also be fixed to the wall by other fixing methods such as bolts or clips.

[0050] Optionally, the outline shape of the adhesive layer is the same as the outline shape of the second plate surface of the support. This allows the adhesive layer 120 to avoid the first slot 111, making it easier and faster to insert the sealing plug 200 into the first slot 111 while it is flush against the wall.

[0051] To broaden the applicability of the fixing structure, in some alternative embodiments, the support base 100 is made of flexible board. The support base 100, made of flexible board, can be bent to a certain extent, thus allowing it to be adhered and fixed to uneven surfaces or other locations on the wall. For example, the support base 100 can be adhered and fixed to the housing of a suction device or to the junction box of an oxygen delivery line on a wall.

[0052] It is understood that the first mounting part 110 can be made of a hard material so that the first slot 111 will not be deformed due to the bending of the support 100, thus avoiding the situation where the first connecting part 210 of the sealing plug 200 cannot be inserted into the first slot 111.

[0053] Of course, in other embodiments, the support base 100 may also be a rigid plate, and this disclosure does not specifically limit it.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to improve the connection stability between the connecting pipe and the fixed structure and further prevent the connecting pipe from falling off, in some optional embodiments, a snap-fit ​​member 300 is connected to the support base 100. The snap-fit ​​member 300 has a slot 301 for fixing the body of the connecting pipe.

[0055] By securing the tube body with the snap-fit ​​connector 300 and fixing the end of the tube with the sealing plug 200, the connection stability between the tube and the fixing structure is increased. Furthermore, securing the tube body with the snap-fit ​​connector 300 also shortens the hanging length of the tube, thus preventing excessive hanging length from affecting the patient's movement.

[0056] Optionally, there can be multiple snap-fit ​​connectors 300, which are arranged side by side. This allows the connecting pipe to be fixed in an "S" shape to different snap-fit ​​connectors 300 in sequence, further shortening the hanging length of the connecting pipe.

[0057] In some alternative implementations, the slot 301 is horizontally positioned along its length.

[0058] It is understandable that by setting the length of the slot 301 horizontally, after the connecting pipe is installed in the slot 301, part of the connecting pipe body can be in a horizontal state. This can reduce the sliding of the pipe body at the snap fastener 300 and further improve the stability of fixing the connecting pipe body.

[0059] Optionally, the height of the slot 301 of the snap-fit ​​connector 300 is set to be lower than the height of the first mounting part 110, so that the connecting pipe can hang down naturally.

[0060] Optionally, the support base 100 may include a first support portion and a second support portion connected to each other, the length direction of the first support portion and the length direction of the second support portion intersecting, the first mounting portion 110 is disposed at the end of the first support portion away from the second support portion in the length direction, and the snap-fit ​​member 300 is disposed at the end of the second support portion away from the first support portion in the length direction.

[0061] This configuration reduces the area of ​​the support base 100 while increasing the length of the support base 100 and the distance between the first mounting part 110 and the snap-fit ​​member 300, so that the gap between the first mounting part 110 and the snap-fit ​​member 300 can accommodate a longer connecting pipe body, thereby further shortening the hanging length of the connecting pipe body.

[0062] In some alternative embodiments, the support base 100 is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​connector 300.

[0063] The support base 100 is detachably connected to the snap-fit ​​connector 300, allowing the snap-fit ​​connector 300 to be replaced. For example, when the snap-fit ​​connector 300 is damaged or contaminated.

[0064] Regarding the specific connection structure between the support base 100 and the snap-fit ​​member 300, in some optional embodiments, the support base 100 is provided with a second mounting part 130, the second mounting part 130 has a second slot 131, and the snap-fit ​​member 300 is inserted into the second slot 131.

[0065] By inserting the snap-fit ​​connector 300 into the second slot 131, a quick connection and fixation between the snap-fit ​​connector 300 and the second mounting part 130 can be achieved.

[0066] Optionally, the second slot 131 is a dovetail groove or a T-shaped groove, and the snap-fit ​​part 300 is provided with a slider 310 adapted to the dovetail groove or T-shaped groove. The slider 310 is slidably connected to the second slot 131 to realize the detachable connection between the snap-fit ​​part 300 and the second mounting part 130.

[0067] When the second connecting portion 220 of the sealing plug 200 is not connected to the connecting tube, in order to prevent the second connecting portion 220 from being contaminated, in some optional embodiments, the fixing structure of the connecting tube further includes a cap 400, which covers the second connecting portion 220 and is detachably and sealingly connected to the first connecting portion 210.

[0068] By setting the cap 400, the second connection part 220 can be isolated from the ambient air, thereby reducing the chance of the second connection part 220 being contaminated.

[0069] It is understood that when the sealing plug 200 is not in use, or when the sealing plug 200 is connected to the support base 100 but the connecting tube is not inserted into the seal, or when the sealing plug 200 has been used and needs to be replaced, the cap 400 can be placed over the second connecting part 220.

[0070] Optionally, the cap 400 can be a separate cap 400, allowing it to be completely separated from the support base 100 and the sealing plug 200. Alternatively, the cap 400 can be flexibly connected to the support base 100 via a flexible connection to facilitate reuse. This disclosure does not specifically limit its application in this regard.

[0071] Other embodiments of this application will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the utility model disclosed herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this application that follow the general principles of this application and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.

[0072] It should be understood that this application is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope.
