Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of medical auxiliary equipment, specifically relating to a date coding device for measuring chest drainage bottles. Background Technology
[0002] A chest drainage bottle, also known as a chest drainage container, is a medical device used in chest drainage procedures. It mainly consists of a bottle body, connecting tubing, an anti-backflow valve, and a suction tube. The bottle body is usually made of transparent material to allow doctors to observe the drainage process. The connecting tubing connects the chest drainage tube to the chest drainage bottle, draining fluid from the chest cavity. The anti-backflow valve prevents drainage fluid from flowing back into the chest cavity, ensuring smooth drainage. The suction tube is used to aspirate the drainage fluid.
[0003] Currently, in order to monitor the volume of chest drainage bottles in real time, medical staff need to manually cut strips of adhesive paper and write the date and time on them. Then, they stick the paper to the mark on the chest drainage bottle to indicate the drainage volume for that day.
[0004] However, it has the following drawbacks:
[0005] 1. Cutting a certain amount of strips of adhesive paper and writing the date and time on them takes time and paper; 2. The cut strips are of different shapes and not aesthetically pleasing; 3. The neatness and legibility of the handwriting vary from person to person; 4. When pasting them onto the chest drainage bottle, the strips are too small and difficult to handle, resulting in crooked pasting; 5. After pasting, they will cover the markings on the chest drainage bottle, making it difficult to read the data. Utility Model Content

[0042] like Figure 7 As shown, the inner shell 13 has concave grooves 18 at the middle of the left and right ends that match the second sliding post 16, and the second sliding post 16 slides inside the concave grooves 18. Through the inner shell 13, the adjustable date marker post 12 can be better protected.
[0043] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the slide seat 2 is a hollow frame. The upper and lower inner walls of the slide seat 2 are provided with slide grooves that match the first slide column 11, and the first slide column 11 slides inside the slide groove. The slide seat 2 facilitates the adjustment of the position of the date coding mechanism in the X-axis direction.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, a threaded hole is provided in the middle of the end face of the slider 1 away from the slide seat 2, and the threaded hole is threadedly connected to the fastening bolt 7. A longitudinal anti-detachment groove is provided in the middle of the other end face of the slider 1 near the slide seat 2, and the vertical plate 8 is slidably connected to the anti-detachment groove. At the same time, the threaded hole is connected to the anti-detachment groove. Through the slider 1, the vertical plate 8 can be better driven to complete the clamping work, and it is also convenient to adjust the position in the Y-axis direction on the outer wall of the vertical plate 8.
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the front and rear ends of the vertical plate 8 are provided with limiting grooves that match the anti-slip groove of the slider 1. The vertical plate 8 facilitates the up and down sliding of the clamping mechanism.
[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the ink cap 9 includes a protective cap body and an ink sponge. The ink sponge is located inside the protective cap body. The ink cap 9 provides ink for marking the adjustable date marker post 12.
[0047] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0048] Before use, the operator first opens the ink cap 9 and operates the eight number label rollers 1201 in the adjustable date marker post 12 to set the specific date. Then, by pressing the pressure post 3, the operator compresses the first spring 4, causing the inner shell 13 and the adjustable date marker post 12 to extend out of the outer shell 5. The eight number label rollers 1201, the first interval roller 1202, the horizontal line marker roller 1203, and the second interval roller 1205 in the adjustable date marker post 12 all come into contact with the ink sponge inside the ink cap 9, causing the eight number label rollers 1201, the first interval roller 1202, and the horizontal line marker roller 1205 to come into contact with the ink sponge inside the ink cap 9. 203 and the second interval wheel 1205 are filled with ink. Then, the staff releases the finger pressing the pressure column 3, which causes the first spring 4 to extend, so that the pressure column 3, the adjustable date mark column 12, and the inner shell 13 return to their initial positions. After that, the staff pulls the two sliders 1 outward, which causes the four T-shaped rods 6 to move outward inside the four anti-detachment grooves 14, adjusting the positions of the two sliders 1 and the two vertical plates 8. At the same time, the four second springs 15 are also compressed. When the protective pads 10 on the two vertical plates 8 come into contact with the left and right outer walls of the chest drainage bottle, the force of the four second springs 15 allows the two vertical plates 8 to be clamped and fixed on the outer wall of the chest drainage bottle.
[0049] In use, the operator first tightens or loosens the two fastening bolts 7, which allows the two sliders 1 to slide up and down on the outer walls of the two vertical plates 8. This adjusts the position of the date coding mechanism and the clamping mechanism in the Y-axis direction. Simultaneously, the date coding mechanism can slide left and right inside the slide seat 2 via the two first sliding columns 11, thus adjusting the position of the date coding mechanism in the X-axis direction. This moves the date coding mechanism to the corresponding measurement mark on the chest drainage bottle. Then, the operator presses the pressure column 3 again, causing the inner shell 13 and the adjustable date mark column 12 to extend out of the outer shell 5. When the adjustable date mark column 12 contacts the body of the chest drainage bottle, the drainage volume of the day is marked on the outer wall of the chest drainage bottle. After completing the marking work, the operator can disassemble the entire device by following the above steps and use it for marking the drainage volume of other chest drainage bottles for the day.
[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
