Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of uterine tube cleaning technology, specifically a dual-mode uterine tube drying fan. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern medicine, hysteroscopy is a common minimally invasive surgical procedure widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of gynecological diseases. The distending tube plays a crucial role in hysteroscopy. It can expand the uterine cavity by injecting liquid or gas into it, providing a clear field of vision for the operation, which facilitates the doctor to accurately observe tissues and remove lesions. However, the distending tube needs to be strictly cleaned and dried after each use to ensure that it meets hygiene standards, avoid cross-infection, and ensure the safety of subsequent surgeries. This cleaning and drying process is directly related to the smooth progress of the operation and the patient's health recovery.

[0003] Currently, the most common methods for drying uterine tubes in hospitals are natural air drying and drying with a hot air blower. Natural air drying involves placing the cleaned uterine tubes in a well-ventilated place, relying on airflow to remove moisture. This method is simple to operate and requires no additional equipment, but it takes a long time and is difficult to meet the needs when uterine tubes are urgently needed. Ordinary hot air blower drying uses hot air generated by a hot air blower to dry the uterine tubes. The working process usually involves pointing the hot air blower outlet at the opening of the uterine tube, and the flow of hot air evaporates the moisture inside the tube. Some hot air blowers have a certain temperature adjustment function, and operators can adjust the temperature according to their experience in order to achieve a better drying effect.

[0004] Existing methods for drying uterine distending tubes have many shortcomings. Natural air drying is extremely inefficient. In hospitals with frequent surgeries, waiting for the tubes to air dry can severely impact the timeliness of surgical scheduling, leading to prolonged patient waiting times and potentially delaying treatment. While conventional hot air drying is faster than natural air drying, it cannot effectively handle the varying states of moisture within the tube. The tube lumen is narrow and bifurcated, making it difficult for conventional hot air to evenly cover the entire lumen. For stubborn water droplets tightly adhering to the tube wall, the impact of conventional hot air is insufficient to completely dry them, leaving residual moisture. This not only increases the risk of bacterial growth but may also trigger equipment malfunction alarms during subsequent sterilization, leading to a wet pack phenomenon. This, in turn, affects the normal use of surgical instruments and poses a potential threat to surgical safety. Therefore, we propose a dual-mode uterine distending tube drying fan.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a dual-mode uterine tube drying fan, including a housing 1, a control panel 7 on the front side of the housing 1, the input end of the control panel 7 being electrically connected to an external power source, and uniformly distributed air holes on the upper ends of the left and right side walls of the housing 1, and also including a drying mechanism 2.

[0027] Drying mechanism 2: It includes an air pipe 26, a nozzle 27, and a telescopic pipe 28. The lower end of the outer casing 1 is provided with the air pipe 26. The drying mechanism 2 also includes a blower 21 and a pipe 22. The interior of the outer casing 1 is provided with a mounting plate 3. The blower 21 is mounted on the upper side of the mounting plate 3. The outlet of the blower 21 is provided with a pipe 22. The lower end of the pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the upper air inlet of the air pipe 26. The input end of the blower 21 is electrically connected to the output end of the control panel 7. The drying mechanism 2 also includes a heating chamber 23 and a heating wire 24. The heating chamber 23 is connected in series in the middle of the pipe 22. The heating chamber 23 is provided inside the heating wire 24. The input end of the heating wire 24 is electrically connected to the output end of the control panel 7. The left end of the air pipe 26 is provided with a nozzle 27. The upper end of the nozzle 27 is provided with a hanging ring 4. A hook 5 is provided on the left side of the outer shell 1, and a hanging ring 4 is configured to cooperate with the hook 5. A storage rack 6 is provided on the right side of the outer shell 1, and a telescopic tube 28 (the telescopic tube 28 is a corrugated pipe structure) is placed in the middle of the storage rack 6. After the entire drying process is completed, the telescopic tube 28 can be pulled out from the expansion tube, then the bolt 9 can be unscrewed, the absorbent cotton cloth 11 can be removed, and then the telescopic tube 28 can be squeezed to restore its contracted state. It can then be coiled and hung in the middle of the storage rack 6. The nozzle 27 can be hung on the hook 5 on the left side of the outer shell 1 through the hanging ring 4 for easy storage and preparation for the next use. The drying mechanism 2 also includes a traction rope 25. A rubber stopper 10 is provided at the lower end of the nozzle 27, and the rubber stopper 10 is configured to cooperate with the telescopic tube 28. The shell 1 contains a pulse assembly, which is configured to work with the air pipe 26. The pulse assembly is a pulse valve 12, which is connected in series in the middle of the pipe 22. The input end of the pulse valve 12 is electrically connected to the output end of the control panel 7. The worker inserts the rubber plug 10 at the lower end of the nozzle 27 into the end of the telescopic pipe 28 without the traction rope 25, so that the nozzle 27 and the telescopic pipe 28 are tightly connected, ensuring that the hot air can pass smoothly through the telescopic pipe 28. Then, the end of the telescopic pipe 28 with the traction rope 25 is inserted into the uterine distending tube. The traction rope 25 can be used to flexibly control the position of the telescopic pipe 28 inside the uterine distending tube, ensuring that it can cover the area that needs to be dried. Then, the control panel 7 is operated to turn on the heating wire 24, the air pump 21 and the pulse valve in sequence. 12. At this time, the pulse valve 12 remains open, entering the continuous constant pressure mode. The heating wire 24 is energized and begins heating. The air pump 21 operates, drawing external air into the interior of the pipe 22 through the air holes on the left and right side walls of the outer casing 1. The air circulates inside the pipe 22, and upon passing through the heating chamber 23, it is heated into hot air by the heating wire 24. The hot air passes through the air pipe 26 and the nozzle 27 into the telescopic pipe 28, and then from the telescopic pipe 28 into the uterine distending tube. In the continuous constant pressure mode, the hot air is output at a stable flow rate and temperature, quickly drying most of the water on the surface and inside the uterine distending tube. When it is necessary to treat stubborn small water droplets that are difficult to dry inside the uterine distending tube, the working state of the pulse valve 12 can be adjusted through the control panel 7 to enter the pulse mode. In pulse mode...The pulse valve 12 opens and closes intermittently according to a set frequency and duration, causing hot air to be blown out in pulses. This pulsed hot air has a greater impact force, which can effectively loosen and blow away tightly attached small water droplets inside the tube, efficiently drying moisture in different states inside the distending tube through dual modes;

[0028] This includes: absorbent cotton cloth 11, which is configured to work in conjunction with the telescopic pipe 28 (the length of the absorbent cotton cloth 11 is the same as the maximum extension length of the telescopic pipe 28). A traction rope 25 is wound around the traction groove at the left end of the telescopic pipe 28. Double-layer spring plates 8 are provided at both ends of the telescopic pipe 28, and bolts 9 are threaded to both the upper and lower ends of the double-layer spring plates 8. The user wraps one end of the absorbent cotton cloth 11 into a cylindrical shape and then inserts it into the interlayer of the double-layer spring plate 8 at the left end of the telescopic pipe 28. Then, the bolts 9 at both ends of the double-layer spring plate 8 are tightened. (The double-layer spring plate 8 is a stainless steel spring plate structure, specifically composed of a stainless steel pipe and stainless steel spring plates fixedly installed on the left and right edges of the outer arc surface of the stainless steel pipe.) Bolts 9 are threaded at both ends of the stainless steel spring sheet. The double-layer spring sheet 8 deforms to clamp one end of the absorbent cotton cloth 11. Then, the other end of the absorbent cotton cloth 11 is also wrapped into a cylindrical shape and inserted into the interlayer of the double-layer spring sheet 8 at the right end of the telescopic tube 28. Then, the bolts 9 at both ends of the double-layer spring sheet 8 are tightened. The double-layer spring sheet 8 deforms to clamp the right end of the absorbent cotton cloth 11. At this time, the middle part of the absorbent cotton cloth 11 will naturally fold and stretch naturally during the subsequent extension of the telescopic tube 28. During the hot air drying process, the absorbent cotton cloth 11 will absorb the residual moisture in the tube cavity, further accelerating the drying process of the uterine distending tube. The absorbent cotton cloth 11 participates in the drying of the uterine distending tube, which accelerates the drying process of the uterine distending tube, and the absorbent cotton cloth 11 is easy to replace.

[0029] The working principle of the dual-mode uterine expansion tube drying fan provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the user wraps one end of the absorbent cotton cloth 11 into a cylindrical shape, and then inserts it into the interlayer of the double-layer spring sheet 8 at the left end of the telescopic pipe 28. Next, the bolts 9 at the upper and lower ends of the double-layer spring sheet 8 are tightened, and the double-layer spring sheet 8 deforms to clamp one end of the absorbent cotton cloth 11. Then, the other end of the absorbent cotton cloth 11 is also wrapped into a cylindrical shape and inserted into the interlayer of the double-layer spring sheet 8 at the right end of the telescopic pipe 28. Next, the bolts 9 at the upper and lower ends of the double-layer spring sheet 8 are tightened, and the double-layer spring sheet 8 deforms to clamp the right end of the absorbent cotton cloth 11. At this time, the middle part of the absorbent cotton cloth 11 will naturally fold. During the subsequent extension of the telescopic pipe 28, it naturally stretches. Then, the worker inserts the rubber plug 10 at the lower end of the nozzle 27 into the end of the telescopic pipe 28 without the traction rope 25, ensuring a tight connection between the nozzle 27 and the telescopic pipe 28, allowing hot air to pass smoothly through. Next, the end of the telescopic pipe 28 with the traction rope 25 is inserted into the uterine distending tube. The traction rope 25 allows for flexible control of the telescopic pipe 28's position within the tube, ensuring coverage of the areas requiring drying. Then, the control panel 7 sequentially activates the heating wire 24, the air pump 21, and the pulse valve 12. At this time, the pulse valve 12 remains normally open, entering a continuous constant pressure mode. The heating wire 24 is then energized and begins operation. Heating is activated by the air pump 21, which draws external air into the duct 22 through the air vents on the left and right sides of the outer casing 1. The air circulates within the duct 22, and upon passing through the heating chamber 23, is heated by the heating wire 24 into hot air. This hot air then passes through the air pipe 26 and nozzle 27 into the telescopic pipe 28, and from there into the uterine distending tube. In continuous constant pressure mode, the hot air is output at a stable flow rate and temperature, quickly drying most of the water on the surface and inside the uterine distending tube. When it is necessary to treat stubborn small water droplets inside the uterine distending tube that are difficult to dry, the pulse valve 12 can be adjusted via the control panel 7 to enter pulse mode. In pulse mode, the pulse valve 12 operates according to a set frequency and time... The long intermittent opening and closing allows hot air to be blown out in a pulsed manner. This pulsed hot air has a greater impact force, which can effectively loosen and blow away the small water droplets that are tightly attached to the tube. At the same time, during the hot air drying process, the absorbent cotton cloth 11 will absorb the residual moisture in the tube, further accelerating the drying process of the uterine distending tube. After the entire drying process is completed, the telescopic tube 28 can be pulled out from the uterine distending tube. Then, the bolt 9 can be unscrewed, the absorbent cotton cloth 11 can be removed, and then the telescopic tube 28 can be squeezed to restore the telescopic tube 28 to its contracted state. It can be coiled and hung in the middle of the placement rack 6. The nozzle 27 can be hung on the hook 5 on the left side of the outer shell 1 through the hanging ring 4 for easy storage and preparation for the next use.

[0030] It is worth noting that the air pump 21 disclosed in the above embodiments can be an RB-71D-3 high-pressure blower, the pulse valve 12 can be a conventional pulse valve, the heating wire 24 can be a CR2080 nickel-chromium alloy heating wire, and the control panel 7 can be an MT8102iE touch screen PLC all-in-one machine. The control panel 7 uses methods commonly used in the prior art to control the air pump 21, pulse valve 12 and heating wire 24.

[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
