Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bedside fixation technology for suction catheters, specifically to a bedside fixation device for suction catheters. Background Technology

[0002] Patients undergoing major surgery often produce a significant amount of sputum, which can accumulate in their respiratory tract and cause breathing difficulties. Therefore, regular sputum removal is necessary. Since postoperative patients are unable to expel sputum voluntarily, a suction device is used to remove it. The suction device has a suction tube connected to its output end. During suctioning, a disposable sterile tubing is connected to the end of the suction tube. One end of the sterile tubing has a connector, which is inserted into the end of the suction tube to complete the connection. The sterile tubing is then inserted into the patient's body from below the nasal cavity.

[0003] When suctioning is completed or when temporarily replacing the disposable sterile tubing, the end of the tubing needs to be removed for storage. Current suction devices generally lack a storage mechanism, and the tubing is long and, due to its material, cannot be easily bent. The existing solution is to tie a bottle to the patient's bedside with a rope, inserting the end of the suction tube into the bottle after removing the tubing. However, these bottles typically have large openings, poor sealing, and are prone to dust contamination of the suction tube. Furthermore, the bottle is susceptible to tipping over due to the tube's weight, and the bottle requires frequent washing. Removing the rope is cumbersome, and the rope gets wet during washing, making the rope-based method of securing the tube inconvenient.

[0004] In response to the above situation, we propose a bedside fixation device for suctioning tubes. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a bedside fixation device for suction catheters.

[0006] Technical solution:

[0007] A bedside suction catheter holder includes a storage container with a threaded rotating cap at the bottom and a sealing plate fixedly connected to the top. A through-hole is formed at the center of the sealing plate, and a retaining rubber ring is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the through-hole. The tail end of the suction catheter can be inserted through the center of the retaining rubber ring and press-fitted therewith. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage container, with a positioning hole formed at its center. Multiple soft rubber plates are evenly fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole, with the center of the multiple soft rubber plates forming the limiting hole. When the suction catheter is inserted, it squeezes the soft rubber plates and passes through the center of the limiting hole. The storage container is fixed to the bed frame via a connecting assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the center of the positioning hole coincides with the center of the perforation, the radial dimension of the positioning hole is equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the suction tube, and the radial dimension of the limiting hole is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the suction tube.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting component includes a card plate fixed to the outer surface of the storage bucket, a card frame movably engaged on the card plate, and a clamping component provided on the card frame, the clamping component being used to connect to the hospital bed body.

[0010] Preferably, two sets of slots are symmetrically opened on both sides of the card plate, a positioning plate is slidably connected in the slot, a spring is provided between the positioning plate and the bottom of the slot, a push plate is fixed on the top of the positioning plate, a groove is provided on the side of the card frame near the card plate, and positioning slots corresponding to the positioning plate are provided on both sides of the groove, and the positioning slots are movably engaged with the positioning plate.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes a mounting plate disposed on the side of the card frame away from the card plate, a fixed clamping plate is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, a sliding groove is provided on the mounting plate, a movable clamping plate is slidably connected inside the sliding groove, and the movable clamping plate is connected to a linear drive mechanism.

[0012] Preferably, the linear drive mechanism includes a positioning screw that is rotatably connected to the mounting plate. The positioning screw passes through the movable clamping plate and is threadedly connected to the movable clamping plate. One end of the positioning screw near the fixed clamping plate passes through the mounting plate and a rotating handle is fixedly connected to its end face.

[0013] Beneficial effects:

[0014] This utility model proposes a bedside suction catheter fixation device. When changing a disposable sterile tubing, the user first removes the disposable sterile tubing from the patient's body, then separates it from the suction catheter. The user then inserts the suction catheter into the perforation and moves it downwards, allowing it to pass through a positioning hole. A soft rubber plate is provided around the positioning hole, abutting the outer surface of the suction catheter to define its position. Simultaneously, a fixing ring is provided above the sealing plate, closely adhering to the suction catheter. This fixing ring not only defines the suction catheter's position but also seals the storage container, preventing dust from entering and further preventing dust from entering the inner wall of the suction catheter. Furthermore, the user does not need to seal the end of the suction catheter during storage, making it more convenient to change disposable suction catheters. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 ;

[0021] Example 1:

[0022] A bedside suction catheter fixation device includes a storage container 1, with a threaded rotating cover 2 at the bottom of the storage container 1 and a sealing plate 6 fixedly connected to the top of the storage container 1. A through hole 7 is formed through the center of the sealing plate 6, and a fixing rubber ring 8 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the through hole 7. The tail end of the suction catheter can be inserted through the center of the fixing rubber ring 8 and is interference-fitted with it. A limiting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage container 1, with a positioning hole 4 formed through the center of the limiting plate 3. Multiple soft rubber plates 5 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole 4 at even intervals. The center of the multiple soft rubber plates forms a limiting hole. When the suction catheter is inserted, it will squeeze the soft rubber plates 5 and pass through the center of the limiting hole. The storage container 1 is fixed to the bed frame by a connecting component.

[0023] Preferably, the center of the positioning hole 4 coincides with the center of the perforation 7, the radial dimension of the positioning hole 4 is equal to or slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the suction tube, and the radial dimension of the limiting hole is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the suction tube.

[0024] In use, first fix the bedside suction catheter fixator of this embodiment to a suitable position on the headboard side of the bed frame using the connecting components. Insert the suction catheter into the storage container 1 from the center of the fixing rubber ring 8, and continue inserting it downwards until the end of the suction catheter is inserted into the limiting hole. The soft rubber plate 5 around the limiting hole abuts against the outer wall of the suction catheter to limit its position. Because the tail end of the suction catheter is in an interference fit with the fixing rubber ring 8 when inserted, the sealing performance is good, and it is not easy for dust to enter and contaminate the end of the suction catheter. The fixing rubber ring 8 and the soft rubber plate 5 work together to keep the tail end of the suction catheter with a relatively straight length, which is convenient for connecting to the connector of the disposable sterile tubing. When it is necessary to clean the storage container 1, the rotating cover 2 can be rotated to separate the rotating cover 2 from the storage container 1, making it convenient for the user to thoroughly clean the storage container 1.

[0025] Example 2:

[0026] The connecting assembly includes a retaining plate 9 fixed to the outer surface of the storage container 1. A retaining frame 14 is movably engaged with the retaining plate 9, and a clamping component is provided on the retaining frame 14 for connecting the bed frame. Specifically, two sets of slots 10 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the retaining plate 9. A positioning plate 12 is slidably connected within the slots 10. A spring 11 is provided between the positioning plate 12 and the bottom of the slot 10. A push plate 13 is fixed to the top of the positioning plate 12. A groove is provided on the side of the retaining frame 14 near the retaining plate 9. Positioning slots 16 corresponding to the positioning plate 12 are provided on both sides of the groove. The positioning slots 16 are movably engaged with the positioning plate 12. In use, pushing the two push plates 13 closer together causes the two retaining plates 9 to move closer together, disengaging the positioning plate 12 from the positioning slots 16. This separates the retaining plate 9 from the retaining frame 14, thereby separating the storage container 1 from the bed frame for easy disassembly and cleaning.

[0027] Example 3:

[0028] The clamping assembly includes a mounting plate 15 disposed on the side of the card frame 14 away from the card plate 9. A fixed clamping plate 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 15. The mounting plate 15 has a sliding groove, and a movable clamping plate 20 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The movable clamping plate 20 is connected to a linear drive mechanism. The linear drive mechanism drives the movable clamping plate 20 to move closer to the fixed clamping plate 19 to complete the clamping operation.

[0029] Preferably, the linear drive mechanism includes a positioning screw 17 rotatably connected to the mounting plate 15. The positioning screw 17 passes through the movable clamping plate 20 and is threadedly connected to the movable clamping plate 20. One end of the positioning screw 17 near the fixed clamping plate 19 passes through the mounting plate 15 and has a rotating handle 18 fixedly connected to its end face. Rotating the rotating handle 18 drives the positioning screw 17 to rotate, and the positioning screw 17 drives the movable clamping plate 20 to slide along the slide groove, thereby shortening the distance between the fixed clamping plate 19 and the movable clamping plate 20 to complete the clamping operation.

[0030] Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, these are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope of protection of the claims of this application.
