Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical device technology, and in particular relates to an empty fluid indicator device for infusion. Background Technology
[0002] Intravenous infusion therapy is a treatment method that delivers drugs or nutrients directly into the human circulatory system via intravenous injection. It can quickly replenish body fluids, electrolytes, and nutrients, and treat conditions such as dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and malnutrition. In addition, intravenous infusion therapy can also be used for drug administration, especially for drugs that cannot be taken orally or are poorly absorbed orally. Intravenous infusion ensures that the drug enters the bloodstream directly and exerts its therapeutic effect rapidly.
[0003] During intravenous infusion, due to the large number of patients and insufficient medical staff in the hospital, medical staff may not be able to detect when the patient's medication runs out in time, thus failing to handle the situation promptly. This may cause local tissue damage or hematoma to the patient.
[0004] To address these issues, we provide an empty infusion device for intravenous infusion to provide an empty infusion indicator. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an empty infusion device. As the liquid level in the infusion chamber drops, the float moves downward, connecting the photoelectric switch generator and the photoelectric switch receiver. This activates the warning light and buzzer to alert medical staff, solving the problem that medical staff cannot promptly handle empty infusions when patients are receiving infusions.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model is an empty infusion indicator device, including a drip chamber 100, a detection component 200, a power supply chamber 400, and an infusion stop component 500; the detection component 200 is disposed outside the drip chamber 100, and the infusion stop component 500 is disposed on the top of the drip chamber 100.
[0031] The detection component 200 includes a mounting ring 201, which is movably sleeved on the outside of the drip chamber 100. A photoelectric switch generator 202 and a photoelectric switch receiver 203 are mounted on the outside of the mounting ring 201, and the photoelectric switch generator 202 and the photoelectric switch receiver 203 are arranged opposite to each other. A float 204 is movably sleeved inside the drip chamber 100. A fixing component 300 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting ring 201.
[0032] The front of the power supply compartment 400 is fixedly connected to a warning light 600 and a buzzer 700. The power supply compartment 400 is equipped with a storage battery 402. The photoelectric switch generator 202, photoelectric switch receiver 203, warning light 600 and buzzer 700 are all electrically connected to the storage battery 402. As the liquid level in the drip chamber 100 drops, the float 204 connects the photoelectric switch generator 202 and the photoelectric switch receiver 203, thereby activating the warning light 600 and the buzzer 700 simultaneously, which can prompt medical staff to take timely action.
[0033] Specifically, the fixing component 300 includes a clamping sleeve 301, the top of which is comb-shaped, and a fastening ring 302 is movably sleeved on the outside of the clamping sleeve 301.
[0034] The top of the power supply compartment 400 is rotatably connected to a hook 401, which makes it easier to place the power supply compartment 400.
[0035] Furthermore, the drip chamber 100 includes a chamber body 101 and a cover 102. The cover 102 is fixedly connected to the top of the chamber body 101, and the float 204 is movably sleeved inside the chamber body 101.
[0036] The buoy 204 has a through hole in the middle, and the inner side of the buoy 204 is funnel-shaped.
[0037] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: When the patient's medication is finished, the float 204 moves down as the liquid level in the drip chamber 100 drops, thereby connecting the photoelectric switch generator 202 and the photoelectric switch receiver 203. Then, the battery 402 supplies power to the warning light 600 and the buzzer 700, so that the warning light 600 and the buzzer 700 can prompt medical staff to deal with the situation in a timely manner.

An iron sheet 504 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping plate 503 facing the electromagnet 502. The iron sheet 504 and the electromagnet 502 are located on both sides of the infusion tube. The electromagnet 502 is electrically connected to the battery 402. By energizing the electromagnet 502, a large amount of magnetic force can be generated, which can attract the iron sheet 504, thereby clamping the infusion tube and preventing injury to the patient.
[0040] Specifically, the mounting bracket 501 includes a first bracket 501a and a second bracket 501b. The inner side of the first bracket 501a is fixedly connected to two sliding columns 501c, and both the first bracket 501a and the clamping plate 503 are movably sleeved on the outside of the two sliding columns 501c. The inside of the second bracket 501b is rotatably connected to two fastening screws 501d, and both fastening screws 501d are threaded into the inside of the first bracket 501a.

[0042] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: when the patient's medication is finished, the electromagnet 502 is first powered through the storage battery 402, which generates a large amount of magnetic force. Then, the electromagnet 502 attracts the iron plate 504 and moves the clamping plate 503, thereby clamping the infusion tube and preventing the patient from being injured.
