Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a sealing structure and a medical monitor. Background Technology
[0002] Medical monitors are medical devices used to monitor patients' vital signs in real time, and are widely used in hospitals, emergency centers, and intensive care units. They continuously monitor key physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate, presenting the data intuitively on a display screen. Some monitors also have electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring and alarm functions, which can promptly issue alerts when abnormalities occur in the patient's vital signs, helping medical staff to react quickly. The reliability and accuracy of medical monitors are crucial for patient diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation, making them an indispensable tool in modern medicine.
[0003] The ports of medical monitors are prone to dust and moisture ingress, primarily due to their operating environment and design features. Firstly, medical monitors are typically used in hospital wards and operating rooms, places with high personnel traffic and abundant airborne dust and microorganisms. Secondly, the monitor's ports may not be sufficiently airtight, failing to completely prevent dust and moisture from entering. Furthermore, frequent plugging and unplugging of cables by medical personnel during operation can loosen the ports, further increasing the risk of dust and moisture ingress. For example, in high-humidity environments, moisture may seep into the electronic equipment, corroding metal traces and component pins on circuit boards, leading to short circuits.
[0004] Therefore, dust plugs are usually inserted into the ports, but conventional dust plugs have poor sealing performance and there is still a possibility of water and dust entering. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to propose a sealing structure and a medical monitor, aiming to provide a sealing structure with better sealing performance for medical monitors.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a sealing structure for sealing the port of a medical monitor, comprising:
[0007] A cover plate, the cover plate being snapped onto the medical monitor and having a plug-in interface;
[0008] A flexible abutment plate, wherein the flexible abutment plate is disposed on one side of the cover plate and has a clearance opening, the clearance opening being disposed opposite to the insertion interface; and
[0009] A sealing plug is provided on the side of the cover plate facing away from the flexible abutment plate and covers the insertion interface.
[0010] In one embodiment, the sealing plug includes a covering portion and a plug portion, the plug portion being disposed on one side of the covering portion and plugged into the plug interface, the plug portion abutting against the inner peripheral wall of the plug interface.
[0011] In one embodiment, the insertion part and the covering part are integrally formed.
[0012] In one embodiment, the connector includes a circular connector and a square connector, which are spaced apart.
[0013] The connector includes a first connector and a second connector. The first connector is cylindrical and the second connector is prismatic. The first connector and the second connector are respectively inserted into the circular interface and the square interface.
[0014] In one embodiment, the first insertion portion and the second insertion portion are connected by the covering portion.
[0015] In one embodiment, the flexible abutment plate is made of silicone.
[0016] In one embodiment, the sealing plug is made of silicone.
[0017] In one embodiment, the cover plate has an annular groove on the side facing away from the sealing plug, and the flexible abutment plate has an annular protrusion that engages with the annular groove.
[0018] This utility model also proposes a medical monitor, comprising:
[0019] The monitor body has an end cap structure that forms a port; and

[0035] This utility model proposes a sealing structure 100, aiming to provide a sealing structure 100 with better sealing effect for medical monitors. Figures 1 to 5 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the sealing structure 100 of this utility model.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5This utility model proposes a sealing structure 100, including a cover plate 1, a flexible abutment plate 2, and a sealing plug 3. The cover plate 1 is used to snap onto a medical monitor and has an insertion interface. The flexible abutment plate 2 is located on one side of the cover plate 1 and has a clearance opening 21. The clearance opening 21 is arranged opposite to the insertion interface. The sealing plug 3 is located on the side of the cover plate 1 facing away from the flexible abutment plate 2 and covers the insertion interface.
[0037] The present invention provides a sealing structure 100 and a medical monitor. The sealing structure 100 is used to seal the port 210 of the medical monitor. The sealing structure 100 includes a cover plate 1, a flexible abutment plate 2, and a sealing plug 3. The cover plate 1 is snapped onto the medical monitor and has a plug interface. The plug interface is positioned relative to the port 210 of the medical monitor, making the port 210 exposed. The sealing structure 100 adopts a composite design. Two sealing components are respectively provided on both sides of the cover plate 1: the flexible abutment plate 2 and the sealing plug 3. The flexible abutment plate 2 is... The cover plate 1 is positioned within the contact space between the cover plate 1 and the medical monitor. Specifically, the cover plate 1 abuts against the medical monitor via a flexible abutment plate 2. Under the pressure of the cover plate 1, the flexible abutment plate 2 deforms, thereby filling the gap between the two and achieving a sealing effect. In addition, a sealing plug 3 is also provided on the outside of the cover plate 1. The sealing plug 3 blocks the insertion interface of the cover plate 1 and is detachably connected. The flexible abutment plate 2 and the sealing plug 3 achieve a double seal, preventing water vapor or dust impurities from entering the device and causing short circuits in internal components, thus providing better protection for the medical monitor.
[0038] It should be noted that, to achieve a better sealing effect and prevent moisture and dust from entering the equipment, the flexible contact plate 2 and sealing plug 3 are preferably made of flexible materials with good deformation capabilities, such as fluororubber, silicone, and nitrile rubber. These materials have good flexibility and elasticity, enabling them to fit tightly against the port 210, effectively preventing dust and moisture from entering and thus protecting the electronic components inside the equipment. At the same time, flexible materials are also biocompatible and will not cause harm to the human body, making them suitable for use in medical equipment. Furthermore, their chemical resistance and temperature resistance allow them to maintain stable performance in complex medical environments. This design not only extends the service life of the equipment but also facilitates installation and maintenance, ensuring the reliability and safety of the medical monitor during use.
[0039] To further improve the sealing performance of the sealing structure 100, the sealing plug 3 is mainly composed of two parts: a covering part 31 and a insertion part. For details, please refer to further documentation. Figure 2In actual use, the sealing plug 3 is detachable relative to the cover plate 1. When a cable is plugged into the port 210 of the medical monitor, the sealing plug 3 can be removed at any time, thus exposing the port 210. When the port 210 is not in use, the insertion part of the sealing plug 3 can be inserted into the insertion interface of the cover plate 1, and the covering part 31 abuts against the periphery of the insertion interface of the cover plate 1, thereby achieving further sealing. To improve the overall structure, the insertion part and the covering part 31 are an integral structure.
[0040] To meet diverse monitoring needs and provide flexibility in device connectivity, medical monitors typically have multiple ports 210. These ports 210 can connect to various sensors and external devices, such as ECG electrodes, pulse oximeters, blood pressure cuffs, and temperature probes, for real-time monitoring of the patient's vital signs. Furthermore, the multiple ports 210 also support data transmission and remote monitoring functions. Therefore, the cover plate 1 on the sealing structure 100 proposed in this application also features both circular and square interfaces; for details, please refer to further reference. Figure 2 The circular and square interfaces are adapted to outputs of different functional signals. Correspondingly, the first connector 321 is also configured as a cylinder to fit the circular interface, and the second connector 322 is configured as a prism to fit the square interface. It should be noted that the shape of the interface can also be adaptively adjusted according to the actual needs of the monitor. Accordingly, the shapes of the first connector 321 and the second connector 322 need to be adjusted to make them compatible.
[0041] Regarding the seal between the cover plate 1 and the end cap structure 200 of the monitor, to prevent moisture from seeping through the gap between them, the cover plate 1 has an annular groove 13 on the side facing away from the sealing plug 3, and the flexible abutment plate 2 has an annular protrusion 22. For details, please refer to further reference. Figure 2 The annular protrusion 22 engages with the annular groove 13 through the cooperation of the protrusion and the groove. This design effectively enhances the sealing performance and prevents moisture from seeping through the gap between them. The engagement of the annular protrusion 22 with the annular groove 13 forms a tight mechanical fit, ensuring the reliability of the seal. This structure not only improves the waterproof and dustproof capabilities of the equipment but also extends its service life.
[0042] This utility model also proposes a medical monitor, which includes a monitor body and a sealing structure 100. The monitor body is provided with an end cap structure 200, which forms a port 210. The sealing structure 100 is provided on the end cap structure 200 and seals the port 210. The end cap structure 200 is provided with a slot, and the cover plate 1 is provided with a buckle 12, which is engaged with the slot. The specific structure of this medical monitor is as described in the above embodiments. Since this medical monitor adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
[0043] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
