Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an automatic squeezing and monitoring device for drainage tubes. Background Technology

[0002] In the medical field, drainage tubes are widely used, playing a crucial role in draining accumulated fluid, blood, and other secretions, promoting wound healing, and preventing infection. However, traditional drainage tube manipulation methods have several drawbacks. Medical staff need to manually squeeze the drainage tube periodically to prevent blockage and ensure smooth drainage. This manual operation not only consumes a significant amount of time and energy but also suffers from inconsistent frequency and pressure due to the inherent instability of manual manipulation, potentially leading to poor drainage. Furthermore, the patency of the drainage tube currently relies heavily on periodic observation by medical staff, making real-time and precise monitoring impossible. If blockage or other abnormalities occur, they are difficult to detect and address promptly, potentially delaying the patient's treatment and negatively impacting their recovery.

[0026] Combined with appendix Figures 1-4 An automatic squeezing and monitoring device for a drainage tube includes a box assembly, a monitoring and control assembly and an action assembly mounted on the box assembly. The monitoring and control assembly includes a control unit and a detection unit. The detection unit is signal-connected to the control unit and feeds back the detection signal to the control unit, which then sends control commands. The action assembly includes a squeezing mechanism and a clamping mechanism mounted on the mounting box 1.

[0027] The box assembly includes a mounting box 1, a cover plate 2 hinged to the mounting box 1, and a suspension rope on the mounting box 1 for easy hanging of the device beside the hospital bed. The side wall of the mounting box 1 also has a placement cavity 6 for placing the drainage tube. The two ends of the placement cavity 6 extend to the upper and lower end faces of the mounting box 1, respectively, for easy placement of the drainage tube. The side wall of the placement cavity 6 is provided with a locking claw 11 for limiting the position. On the side wall of the mounting box 1 and the cover plate 2 that are in contact with each other, a magnetic block that attracts each other is provided on the side away from the hinge. The magnetic block is made of neodymium iron boron permanent magnet material, which has strong magnetic force and can ensure that the cover plate 2 is tightly attached to the mounting box 1 when closed, while also making it easy for medical staff to open and close with one hand.

[0028] The control unit includes a PLC control module 16 installed in mounting box 1, and a battery, buzzer 15, indicator light 3, display screen 4, and control buttons 5 electrically connected to the PLC control module 16. The battery and buzzer 15 are installed in mounting box 1, and the indicator light 3, display screen 4, and control buttons 5 are located on cover plate 2. The PLC control module 16 can be a Siemens S7-200SMART series CPU. The SR20 model has 20 I / O points, including 12 input points and 8 output points, which can meet the signal connection requirements of various sensors and actuators in this device. The PLC control module 16 integrates a timer, which can stably run the control program. The indicator light 3 has three colors: red, yellow, and green. The green light indicates that the device is running normally, the red light indicates that liquid flow in the drainage tube is detected, and the yellow light indicates that the device is in standby and not running. The display screen 4 is a 1.8-inch TFT LCD screen that can display information such as battery level, power-on status, number of squeezes, number of alarms and duration. There are two control buttons 5. One is used for powering on and off, and the other is used to adjust the squeezing time interval, such as 5min, 10min, 15min, 30min, 1h, etc.

[0029] The detection unit includes a flow sensor 9 mounted on the mounting box 1. The flow sensor 9 is connected to the PLC control module 16. The flow sensor 9 monitors the drainage tube placed in the placement cavity 6, determines its flow status, and provides feedback. The flow sensor 9 is an ultrasonic flow sensor, model USF-100. This sensor uses a non-contact measurement method, monitoring the liquid flow rate in the drainage tube placed in the placement cavity 6 via ultrasound, and transmitting the real-time flow data to the PLC control module 16.

[0030] The squeezing mechanism includes a geared motor 14 installed in the mounting box 1 and connected to the PLC control module 16, and a turntable 10 fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the geared motor 14. A drainage tube placement channel is formed between the turntable 10 and the side wall of the placement cavity 6. A pair of mounting plates 12 are symmetrically arranged on the side wall of the turntable 10 along its axial direction. A squeezing roller that can rotatably abut against the side wall of the placement cavity 6 is arranged between the mounting plates 12. As the geared motor 14 works, the squeezing roller 13 rotates to squeeze the drainage tube to form a squeezing effect.

[0031] A DC geared motor 14, model GM37RG-12V, is selected. The motor has a rated voltage of 12V, an output speed of 60r / min, and an output torque of 10kg·cm. The geared motor 14 is connected to the PLC control module 16 via a control line, and receives control signals from the PLC control module to adjust the motor speed and start / stop.

[0032] The clamping mechanism includes an electric push rod 7 that is connected to the PLC control module 16. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 7 is connected to a squeezing block 8. As the electric push rod 7 works, the squeezing block 8 moves to pressurize the drainage tube and achieve clamping.

[0033] After the power is turned on, the PLC control module 16 completes initialization, and the internal timer is ready. At this time, the yellow indicator light 3 on the cover plate 2 lights up, indicating that the device is in standby mode and not running. Medical staff can start the device by pressing the power button 5 on the cover plate 2. The green indicator light 3 will then light up, indicating that the device has entered normal operating mode.

[0034] Medical staff use the suspension rope on the installation box 1 to suspend the device at a suitable position next to the hospital bed, open the cover 2 that is hinged to the installation box 1, extend the drainage tube from both ends of the placement cavity 6 to the openings on the upper and lower end faces of the installation box 1, and place it into the placement cavity 6. The drainage tube is limited and fixed by the claws 11 on the side wall to ensure its stable position. Then, the cover 2 is closed, and the magnetic block is attracted to make the cover 2 fit tightly against the installation box 1. The ultrasonic flow sensor 9 installed on the installation box 1 uses a non-contact measurement method to monitor the liquid flow rate in the drainage tube placed in the placement cavity 6 in real time, and transmits the acquired real-time flow data to the PLC control module 16.

[0035] During normal operation of the device, medical staff can adjust the squeezing time interval via control button 5, such as 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc. The PLC control module triggers the command according to the set time interval using the integrated timer. When the squeezing command is triggered, the control signal is transmitted to the geared motor 14, which starts and drives the turntable 10 fixedly connected to its drive shaft to rotate. The squeezing rollers on the side wall of the turntable 10 rotate accordingly, cooperating with the side wall of the placement cavity 6 to squeeze the drainage tube, thereby realizing the squeezing action to prevent the drainage tube from being blocked. At the same time, the PLC control module 16 records the number of squeezings and displays it on the display screen 4.

[0036] The PLC control module 16 continuously analyzes the flow data transmitted by the flow sensor 9. If it detects that the liquid in the drainage tube has stopped flowing, i.e. there is no flow data, the control module determines that the drainage tube is blocked. At this time, the control module immediately issues a command to control the buzzer 15 to sound an alarm and to switch the indicator light 3 on the cover plate 2 to red to remind medical staff. At the same time, the display screen 4 will record information such as the number of alarms and the duration.

[0037] When it is necessary to clamp the drainage tube, such as when changing the drainage bag, the PLC control module 16 receives the corresponding instruction and controls the control circuit connected to the electric push rod 7 to make the electric push rod 7 work. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 7 pushes the squeezing block 8 to move, pressurizing the drainage tube and realizing the clamping function. When the clamping operation is completed, the PLC control module 16 controls the electric push rod 7 again to retract it and release the clamping of the drainage tube.
