Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically an electrocardiogram monitor lead wire and its guiding and storage device. Background Technology

[0002] ECG leads are medical devices commonly used for electrocardiogram (ECG) testing and recording. They are an essential component of ECG monitors. By connecting electrodes to the machine, ECG leads transmit the patient's electrical signals to the ECG recorder, helping doctors diagnose heart problems. The leads on one side of the ECG monitor are prone to tangling or becoming tangled during storage, making operation cumbersome and wasting time and effort.

[0003] Several technical solutions for storing lead wires have emerged in the prior art. For example, patent document CN222032410U discloses a lead wire storage device for an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor, including the main body of the ECG monitor. The main body includes lead wires installed on one side of the main body, a storage box located on one side of the main body and outside the lead wires for storing the lead wires, a storage component for preventing the lead wires from tangling, and a wire-clamping component for securing the lead wires extending out of the storage box. The storage device in this document requires a large storage box, which is equipped with a relatively complex winding mechanism. In actual use, this would occupy a lot of space and may hinder medical personnel from using the ECG monitor. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main objective of this application is to provide a lead wire for an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor and its guide and storage device, so as to solve or partially solve the technical problems pointed out in the background art. To this end, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0005] In a first aspect, this application provides a guide and storage device for an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor lead wire, comprising a cylinder and a guide groove spirally coiled on the outer side of the cylinder; the two ends of the guide groove are connected, and the top of the two inner sides are provided with limiting strips; the guide groove is used to insert the ECG monitor lead wire, and the distance between the two limiting strips is smaller than the outer diameter of the ECG monitor lead wire.

[0006] In at least one embodiment, a first support plate and a second support plate are fixed to the inner ends of the cylinder, respectively; when two cylinders are coaxially joined, the first and second support plates, which are close to each other, can be detachably connected by a snap-fit. Further, the first support plate has several slots, and the outer side of the second support plate is provided with several hook-shaped cantilever arms, which can be matched and inserted into the slots to form a snap-fit ​​connection. Further, the slots are several symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the cylinder. Further, the outermost surface of one port of the guide groove is flush with one end face of the cylinder, and the innermost surface of the other port of the guide groove is flush with the other end face of the cylinder; when two cylinders are coaxially joined, the guide grooves on the two joined cylinders can be connected end-to-end.

[0007] In at least one embodiment, the guide groove is a spiral with equal pitch.

[0008] Secondly, this application also provides an electrocardiogram monitor lead wire adapted to the above-mentioned guide storage device, including a lead wire body with two sleeves on the lead wire body; the sleeves are made of a soft material and include a collar sleeved on the lead wire body and a flange disposed on the outer side of one end of the collar; the collar can be matched and inserted into the port of the guide groove, and at this time the flange is blocked outside the port of the guide groove.

[0009] This application can achieve at least the following beneficial effects: the main wire of the ECG monitor lead can be spirally coiled outside the cylinder, and the cylinders can be spliced ​​together, so as to adjust the unfolded length of the ECG monitor lead as needed, which is used to store excessively long ECG monitor leads. Moreover, the guide storage device has a simple structure, occupies little space, and can be hung on the edge of the hospital bed, so as not to hinder medical staff from using the ECG monitor.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to exemplary embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the present application may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. These embodiments are provided herein to make the disclosure of the present application more complete and to fully convey the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0020] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "lateral", "longitudinal", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.

[0021] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the ECG monitor lead cable guiding and storage device provided in this embodiment includes a cylinder 10 and a guide groove 20 spirally coiled on the outer side of the cylinder 10. The guide groove 20 has two through-holes, and limiting strips 21 are provided at the top of the two inner sides. The guide groove 20 is used to insert the ECG monitor lead cable 30, and the distance between the two limiting strips 21 is smaller than the outer diameter of the ECG monitor lead cable 30. The guide groove 20 is preferably a spiral with equal pitch. Due to the limiting strips 21, the ECG monitor lead cable can be prevented from coming out, thus ensuring the effective storage of the ECG monitor lead cable.

[0022] A first support plate 40 and a second support plate 50 with sealing ends are fixed to the inner sides of the cylinder 10, respectively. When the two cylinders 10 are coaxially joined, the first support plate 40 and the second support plate 50, which are close to each other, can be detachably connected by a snap-fit. Specifically, the first support plate 40 has several slots 41, and the outer side of the second support plate 50 is provided with several hook-shaped cantilever arms 51. The hook-shaped cantilever arms 51 can be matched and inserted into the slots 41 to form a snap-fit ​​connection. How the hook-shaped cantilever arms 51 and the slots 41 form a snap-fit ​​connection is a conventional technology in this field. Based on this, other modified snap-fit ​​connection structures all constitute equivalent technical solutions.

[0023] In addition to serving as the base for the snap-fit ​​connection, the first support plate 40 and the second support plate 50 also function as internal supports to improve overall strength. Several latches 41 are symmetrically distributed around the central axis of the cylinder 10, specifically the four shown in the figure. These latches 41 can also be used as hanging points by threading ropes, allowing the cylinder to be suspended or tied to the bed frame or headboard, etc.

[0024] One outer side of one port of the guide groove 20 is flush with one end face of the cylinder 10, and the inner outer side of the other port of the guide groove 20 is flush with the other end face of the cylinder 10; when the two cylinders 10 are coaxially joined together, the guide grooves 20 on the two joined cylinders 10 can be connected end to end. In this way, two adjacent guide grooves 20 can be tightly joined together.

[0025] like Figures 6-7 As shown, the ECG monitor lead wire adapted to the aforementioned guide storage device provided in this embodiment includes a lead wire body 31, on which two connectors 60 are fitted. Each connector 60 is made of a soft material (e.g., rubber) and includes a collar 61 fitted onto the lead wire body 31 and a flange 62 disposed on the outer side of one end of the collar 61. The collar 61 can be inserted into the port of the guide groove 20, and at this time, the flange 62 is blocked outside the port of the guide groove 20. The ECG monitor lead wire can be fitfully inserted into the guide groove 20, and the two connectors 60 allow the ECG monitor lead wire to be securely installed within the groove.

[0026] It should be understood that all the above embodiments are exemplary and not restrictive. Various modifications or variations made by those skilled in the art to the specific embodiments described above under the concept of this application should be within the protection scope of this application.
