Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ligatures, and in particular to a ligature firing mechanism with high stability. Background Technology

[0002] A ligator is a treatment device used to treat conditions such as polyps and hemorrhoids. When the ligator is working, it is connected to a negative pressure suction device. Under negative pressure, the tissue is sucked up to a state that is easy to ligate, and then the elastic band is ligated and fixed to the root of the tissue.

[0003] In related technologies, refer to Figure 1 The banding device includes a handle housing 1. The front end of the handle housing 1 is provided with a firing component for firing the elastic ring 22. The firing component includes a fixed tube 2 and a firing tube 3. A connecting post 21 is fixedly provided on the side wall of the rear end of the fixed tube 2. The connecting post 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the handle housing 1 to fix the fixed tube 2 to the handle housing 1. The firing tube 3 is slidably sleeved outside the fixed tube 2. A groove 41 is provided on the firing tube 3 to allow the connecting post 21 to move. The front end of the fixed tube 2 extends out of the firing tube 3. An elastic ring 22 is sleeved on the part of the fixed tube 2 that extends out of the firing tube 3.

[0004] The tail end of the fixed tube 2 is connected to and communicates with a suction tube, which is connected to a negative pressure suction machine. A three-way tube 5 is also fixed and communicated on the side wall of the rear end of the fixed tube 2. The top end of the three-way tube 5 is fixedly connected to and communicates with the fixed tube 2. The rear end of the firing tube 3 is provided with a clearance groove 42 for the three-way tube 5 to make way. A sealing plug is provided at the left end of the three-way tube 5. The sealing plug can be inserted into the left end of the three-way tube 5 to seal it so as to ensure or detach from the three-way tube 5 to achieve air release. The right end of the three-way tube 5 is closed.

[0005] The handle housing 1 is provided with a drive assembly for driving the firing tube 3 to slide. The drive assembly includes a wrench 9, a swing shaft and a torsion spring. The swing shaft is located at the middle of the length of the wrench 9 and is rotatably connected to the wrench 9. The swing shaft is fixedly connected to the handle housing 1. The torsion spring is sleeved on the swing shaft. One end of the torsion spring is fixed to the swing shaft and the other end of the torsion spring is fixed to the wrench 9. The force applied by the torsion spring to the wrench 9 causes the top of the wrench 9 to move away from the elastic ring 22. The end of the firing tube 3 away from the elastic ring 22 is provided with a mating groove 43. The top of the wrench is locked in the mating groove 43.

[0006] To prevent excessive friction between the firing tube 3 and the fixed tube 2, and between the firing tube 3 and the handle housing 1 during firing tube movement, which could damage the firing components and the handle housing 1, there is a gap between the firing tube 3 and the fixed tube 2, and also a gap between the firing tube 3 and the handle housing 1.

[0007] When performing the ligation operation, align the opening of the fixing tube 2 with the tissue, then press the bottom end of the wrench 9, the top end of the wrench 9 abuts against the inner wall of the mating groove 43, and push the firing tube toward the direction close to the elastic ring 22. The firing tube 3 quickly slides toward the direction close to the elastic ring 22 and pushes the elastic ring 22 onto the root of the tissue. After the elastic ring 22 tightens the tissue, the operator pulls the tissue off.

[0008] Regarding the aforementioned related technologies, the inventors believe that when the torsion spring moves the firing tube away from the elastic coil, the tube body at the top of the three-way tube abuts against the inner wall of the firing tube's relief groove to limit the firing tube. Since the firing tube will impact the three-way tube every time the wrench is released, the three-way tube will deform over time, affecting the pressure relief effect. Utility Model Content

[0035] Limiting plates 6 are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the handle housing 1. The end of the firing tube 3 away from the elastic ring 22 is flat. The torsion spring applies force to the firing tube 3, causing the firing tube 3 to move away from the elastic ring 22 until the side of the firing tube 3 away from the elastic ring 22 abuts against the limiting plate 6. At this time, there is a gap between the inner wall of the relief groove 42 of the firing tube 3 and the outer peripheral wall of the tube at the top of the three-way pipe 5.

The side of the limiting plate 6 away from the firing tube 3 in the thickness direction is fixed to the plate of the reinforcing grid 7 near the firing tube 3, which supports the limiting plate 6 and makes the limiting plate 6 more able to withstand the impact of the firing tube 3.

[0037] The connecting post 21 is set horizontally. When the side of the firing tube 3 away from the elastic ring 22 abuts against the limiting plate 6, the connecting post 21 abuts against the inner wall of the slide groove 41 near the end of the elastic ring 22.

[0038] The movement of the firing tube 3 is limited and guided by the limiting plate 6 and the connecting column 21 to avoid collision between the firing tube 3 and the three-way pipe 5, thus ensuring the pressure relief effect.

[0039] The firing tube 3 includes a first ring plate 31 and a second ring plate 32 in a semi-annular shape, and the first ring plate 31 and the second ring plate 32 are fixed by a connecting assembly 8.

[0041] The slot 82 is located at the radial end of the second ring plate 32. The slot 82 is also shaped like a "7". The slot 82 includes a connecting slot 821 and a fixing slot 822. The connecting slot 821 passes through the side of the second ring plate 32 near the first ring plate 31. The fixing slot 822 is connected to the end of the connecting slot 821 away from the first ring plate 31. When the buckle 81 is engaged in the slot 82, the connecting part 811 is located in the connecting slot 821 and the fixing part 812 is located in the fixing slot 822.

[0042] Multiple sets of connecting components 8 are equidistantly arranged along the axial direction of the firing tube 3. Both ends of the first ring plate 31 in the radial direction are provided with buckles 81, and the slots 82 correspond one-to-one with the buckles 81.

[0043] The end of the fixing part 812 away from the connecting part 811 is arranged in an arc shape to improve the smoothness of the insertion of the fixing part 812 into the fixing groove 822.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
