Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline marking technology, specifically a pipeline marking structure for drainage pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] In clinical medical practice, especially in various surgical treatments, various drainage tubes are widely used. In order to manage and care for these drainage tubes, it is often necessary to classify and label them. Furthermore, the users need to fill in the patient and drainage information on the labels.

[0003] Utility model with announcement number CN222014916U discloses a silicone drainage tube marking structure, including an adhesive part and a label part. The adhesive part has a self-adhesive area near one end on its inner side. The adhesive part has a hook-and-loop fastener on its inner side and a rough hook-and-loop fastener on its outer side. The label part is connected to the other end of the adhesive part. The label part includes an installation layer and a cover layer. The installation layer is connected to the adhesive part. The outer side of the installation layer has a label placement cavity. The cover layer has a viewing groove in its middle. A transparent protective plastic is fixedly installed in the viewing groove. The installation layer and the cover layer are connected by snap fasteners.

[0004] The above-mentioned technical solution, by appropriately lengthening the adhesive part, includes not only an adhesive section that can be directly pasted onto the drainage tube, but also a fastening hook and loop fastener. The adhesive part is wrapped around the outside of the drainage tube, and the fastening hook and loop fasteners work together to ensure the adhesive section is stably attached to the drainage tube, preventing the adhesive part from detaching. However, the hook and loop fasteners become less sticky and prone to detachment after prolonged exposure to bodily fluids or water. Paper labels are easily soaked by the patient's bodily fluids or water, leading to blurred or even damaged lettering. The adhesiveness of the labels gradually weakens over time, making them prone to detachment and making it impossible to identify the type of drainage tube. This results in unsightly adhesion and may even cover the lettering. Furthermore, paper labels are disposable; once the lettering becomes blurred or damaged, they need to be rewritten and reattached, increasing clinical workload. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pipe marking structure for drainage pipes to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A pipe marking structure for a drainage pipe includes symmetrical protective sleeves connected by a connecting strap. One of the protective sleeves has a sealing block on its inner side, and several protruding buckle posts are provided on the protective sleeve around the sealing block. Each of the protruding buckle posts has an annular groove on its outer wall, and a rubber ring is fitted on each annular groove.

[0034] 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.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution:

[0036] A pipe marking structure for a drainage pipe includes symmetrical protective sleeves 1, which are connected by a connecting strap 2. One end of the connecting strap 2 is bonded to one of the protective sleeves 1 and the other end of the connecting strap 2 is bonded to the other protective sleeve 1. The length of the connecting strap 2 is adapted to the length of the protective sleeve 1.

[0037] In this invention, the connecting strap 2 helps the two protective sleeves 1 to be continuously bent and used together, increasing the overall aesthetic appeal after bending.

[0038] It should be noted that a sealing block 10 is provided on the inner side of one of the protective sleeves 1, and several protruding buckles 11 are provided on the protective sleeve 1 around the sealing block 10. An annular groove 110 is provided on the outer wall of each protruding buckle 11, and a rubber ring 111 is fitted on each annular groove 110. A circular groove 13 is provided on the inner side of the protective sleeve 1 where the rubber ring 111 is located, corresponding to the protruding buckle 11.

[0039] In this utility model, the rubber ring 111 and the convex buckle post 11 cooperate to achieve a tight insertion and fit between the convex buckle post 11 and the circular groove 13, increasing the friction force to achieve the adhesion and fixation of the two protective sleeves 1.

[0040] Furthermore, slots 130 are provided on the inner wall of the circular groove 13, the outer diameter of the rubber ring 111 is adapted to the inner diameter of the slot 130, and the inner diameter of the circular groove 13 is adapted to the outer diameter of the protruding buckle post 11.

[0041] In this invention, the slot 130 helps the rubber ring 111 to fit tightly into the groove, thereby achieving stability in the insertion and installation of the protruding buckle 11 and the circular groove 13.

[0042] Specifically, a second chain belt 5 is provided at the left end of the protective sleeve 1 where the sealing block 10 is located. The second chain belt 5 is provided with several fixing buckles 50. An installation groove 12 is provided on another protective sleeve 1 at the position corresponding to the sealing block 10. The bottom of the sealing block 10 is bonded and fixed to the side wall of the protective sleeve 1. The width of the outer wall of the sealing block 10 is adapted to the width of the inner wall of the installation groove 12.

[0043] In this utility model, with the cooperation of the sealing block 10, the bottom of the mounting groove 12 is sealed, reducing the impact of leakage from the gap when the two protective sleeves 1 are attached on the internal pipe markings 3 being wetted by water.

[0044] It should be noted that a transparent sheet 120 is provided at the bottom of the mounting groove 12. The transparent sheet 120 is bonded and fixed to the side wall of the mounting groove 12 around its perimeter. The width of the outer wall of the pipe marking 3 is adapted to the width of the inner wall of the mounting groove 12.

[0045] In this invention, the transparent sheet 120 is made of transparent rubber material, which helps outsiders to observe the internal pipe markings 3 through the transparent sheet 120. The pipe markings 3 are inserted and matched with the mounting groove 12, which increases the stability of the assembly.

[0046] Furthermore, a pipe marker 3 is provided in the middle of the mounting groove 12, and a first chain 4 is provided at the right end of the protective sleeve 1 where the mounting groove 12 is located, with a buckle hole 40 at the end of the first chain 4.

[0047] Specifically, the first chain belt 4 is bonded and fixed to one of the protective sleeves 1, the second chain belt 5 is bonded and fixed to the other protective sleeve 1, the fixing buckles 50 are evenly distributed, and the fixing buckles 50 are bonded and fixed to the second chain belt 5. The fixing buckles 50 pass through the buckle hole 40 and are snapped together with it.

[0048] In this utility model, the first chain 4 and the second chain 5 are both made of rubber, and the diameter of the fixing buckle 50 is larger than the inner diameter of the buckle hole 40. The buckle hole 40 is flattened to facilitate the passing of the fixing buckle 50. The fixing buckle 50 and the buckle hole 40 are inserted and matched to achieve binding and fixing on the outer wall of drainage tubes of different thicknesses.

[0049] Among them, the protective sleeve 1 is made of silicone material, which has good biocompatibility, is non-irritating, non-toxic, non-allergenic to human tissues, and has very little rejection reaction to the body. It can maintain its original elasticity and softness during contact with body fluids and tissues, is not degraded, can withstand high temperature, and can be disinfected. At the same time, its anti-corrosion properties effectively isolate the patient's body fluids or water stains from wetting the internal protective pipe markings 3.

[0050] In this embodiment, the pipe marking structure for drainage pipes is used by first combining and fixing the convex buckle post 11 with the rubber ring 111 and the protective sleeve 1 with the sealing block 10. Then, the transparent sheet 120 is combined and connected with the mounting groove 12, and the pipe marking 3 is placed in the mounting groove 12. Then, the two protective sleeves 1 are bent and close together with their opposite sides under the cooperation of the connecting strap 2, and the sealing block 10 is inserted into the mounting groove 12, the convex buckle post 11 is inserted into the round groove 13, and the rubber ring 111 is tightly inserted into the slot 130.

[0051] Two protective sleeves 1 protect the internal tube label 3. The first chain strap 4 and the second chain strap 5 are wrapped around the corresponding drainage tubes. According to the different diameters of the drainage tubes, the corresponding fixing buckles 50 are inserted into the buckle holes 40 to achieve overall binding on drainage tubes of different diameters. When the fixing buckle 50 near the outer side is engaged with the buckle hole 40, it binds the thicker drainage tube. When the fixing buckle 50 near the inner side is engaged with the buckle hole 40, it binds the thinner drainage tube. When it is necessary to replace the internal tube label 3, the first chain strap 4 and the second chain strap 5 are opened in sequence, and the two protective sleeves 1 are separated. The protruding buckle post 11 is taken out from the round groove 13, and the tube label 3 is taken out and replaced. The overall assembly and installation is convenient, reducing the impact of body fluid or water stains on the tube label 3, which may cause the writing to become blurred or even damaged. It also reduces the use of clinical paper labels, reduces the frequency of label replacement, and avoids the problem of the tubes becoming indistinguishable due to label detachment after long-term use.
