Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of on / off valve technology, and particularly relates to medical on / off valves. Background Technology

[0002] Medical on / off valves (also known as medical gas on / off valves or gas regulating valves) are a crucial component of medical equipment, primarily used to control and manage airflow in gas systems. They are commonly used in hospital gas delivery systems for the delivery of medical gases such as oxygen, air, nitrogen, and nitrous oxide.

[0003] Because medical on / off valves are involved in life support and safety, their design and quality are usually subject to strict requirements:

[0004] Material requirements: Non-toxic, non-polluting, corrosion-resistant and biocompatible materials should be used.

[0005] Sealing requirements: The valve should have good sealing performance to prevent gas leakage.

[0006] Reliability: The design must take into account stability and durability during long-term use.

[0007] Compliance with standards: Complies with relevant national and international safety standards for medical gas systems (such as ISO, EN, GB, etc.).

[0008] In general, medical on / off valves play a vital role in gas supply systems in hospitals and other medical facilities, ensuring the safety, stability, and controllability of gas supply.

[0009] The main drawbacks of current medical on / off valves include wear on the sealing surface, susceptibility to vibration, narrow adjustment range, relatively low reliability, and inconvenience in use and maintenance. Specifically:

[0010] Sealing surface wear: Medical on / off valves require frequent opening and closing during operation, which can cause wear to the sealing surface, making replacement impossible. After prolonged operation, wear on the sealing surface may lead to leakage problems, affecting valve performance.

[0011] Susceptible to vibration: Medical on / off valves are quite sensitive to vibration. In environments with high vibration, the valve may open and close frequently due to vibration, leading to accelerated wear of the sealing surface and potentially causing malfunctions. Therefore, we propose the medical on / off valve. Utility Model Content

[0012] The purpose of this invention is to provide a medical on / off valve to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0013] In view of this, the present invention provides a medical on / off valve, comprising a syringe, a protective shell, a needle, a needle handle, and a rubber stopper. The rubber stopper is fixedly installed on the needle handle and slidably installed inside the syringe. A protective shell and a needle are fixedly installed at one end of the syringe, with the needle located inside the protective shell. The device also includes:

[0014] A female Luer connector, one end of which is fitted onto the needle and located inside the protective shell, and an inclined block is symmetrically fixedly installed at one end of the female Luer connector and inside the protective shell, and a circular groove is opened at the other end of the female Luer connector;

[0015] An opening plunger is inserted and installed in a circular groove, and a cross groove is provided at one end of the opening plunger near the circular groove. Several grooves are provided on the circumferential wall of the opening plunger away from the cross groove.

[0016] A silicone rubber stopper, one end of which is inserted into the opening plunger;

[0017] A male Luer connector, wherein the male Luer connector is threaded onto the other end of the female Luer connector, and a silicone plug is located inside the male Luer connector.

[0018] In this technical solution, when the entire device is not in use, the compression elasticity of the silicone plug seals the contact end face of the female Luer connector, achieving reverse pressure without leakage.

[0019] When in use, the syringe, consisting of a syringe barrel, protective shell, needle, needle handle, and rubber stopper, is screwed in through a standard Luer thread. The plunger is opened and moved vertically to compress the silicone rubber stopper, forming a channel to ensure infusion.

[0020] In the above technical solution, the syringe, protective shell and needle are integrally formed, and the protective shell is provided with threads.

[0021] In this technical solution, the structure of the syringe, protective shell and needle is ensured to be stable. When the protective shell is threaded, the female Luer connector can be screwed into the protective shell with two inclined blocks, ensuring the structural stability of the female Luer connector and the protective shell. One end of the needle can be inserted into the female Luer connector and pressed against the opening plunger.

[0022] In the above technical solution, the female Luer connector and the two inclined blocks are integrally formed, and the inner wall of the circular groove is fixedly installed with a number of semi-cylinders arranged in a ring at equal intervals.

[0023] In this technical solution, the structure of the female Luer connector and the two tilting blocks is ensured to be stable, making it easy to install the female Luer connector inside or remove it from the protective shell. This solves the problem that medical valves need to be opened and closed frequently during operation, which can cause wear to the silicone plug and make it impossible to replace.

[0024] In the above technical solution, furthermore, the circumferential walls of the grooves and the opening plunger form a channel with a gear-like structure.

[0025] In this technical solution, the opening plunger structure ensures the infusion channel through the cross groove, while the contact opening plunger surface forms a gear-shaped channel.

[0026] In the above technical solution, the silicone plug has an inner groove at one end near the male Luer connector, and the cross-section of the concave position on the circumferential wall of the other end of the silicone plug has a V-shaped structure.

[0027] In this technical solution, the silicone stopper has strong elasticity. When the silicone stopper is squeezed and contracted, it will rebound and return to its original shape, ensuring that the silicone stopper can flatten. The compression deformation of the silicone stopper achieves a sealing effect.

[0028] In the above technical solution, furthermore, a plurality of triangular blocks are formed on the inner wall of the male Luer connector and on the side near the silicone plug, and the plurality of triangular blocks are arranged in a ring with equal spacing.

[0029] In this technical solution, the air inlet slot, which is composed of several triangular blocks, ensures that air can enter smoothly during the pressing process.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0031] 1. When the entire device is not in use, the compression elasticity of the silicone rubber stopper seals the contact end face of the female Luer connector, achieving reverse pressure without leakage. When in use, the syringe consisting of a syringe barrel, protective shell, needle, needle handle and rubber stopper is screwed in through the standard Luer thread. The vertical movement of the plunger compresses the silicone rubber stopper to form a channel to ensure infusion.

[0032] 2. This medical on / off valve ensures that the opening plunger structure guarantees the infusion channel through the cross groove, while the contact opening plunger surface forms a gear-shaped channel.

[0033] 3. The silicone stopper of this medical valve has strong elasticity. When the silicone stopper is squeezed and contracted, it will rebound and return to its original shape, ensuring that the silicone stopper can flatten. The compression deformation of the silicone stopper achieves a sealing effect when opening. Attached Figure Description
