Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device protective equipment technology, and in particular to an electrical control device transport box for patients with artificial hearts. Background Technology
[0002] The blood pump in an artificial heart is a sophisticated medical device that replaces some or all of the heart's functions when the patient's heart is unable to pump blood effectively. A typical artificial heart blood pump mainly consists of implanted components and external components. The implanted components include the blood pump (model HeartCon), ventricular suture rings, and artificial blood vessel protection stents; the external components include the HeartCon controller, controller power extension cable, HeartCon AC power adapter, HeartCon lithium-ion battery, HeartCon battery charger, monitor, patient backpack, and shower bag. The HeartCon controller and HeartCon lithium-ion battery need to be fixed beside the patient and connected to the blood pump inside the patient's body. The HeartCon AC power adapter and HeartCon battery charger connect to the HeartCon lithium-ion battery, providing it with power. The HeartCon AC power adapter and HeartCon battery charger are relatively large, and in clinical use, they are usually placed by the bedside without a dedicated storage space, making effective protection difficult. Furthermore, the HeartCon AC power adapter and HeartCon battery charger need to be frequently moved during treatment, making them susceptible to damage from impacts. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a protective box for the electrical control equipment of patients with artificial hearts, solving the problem that existing clinical practices cannot protect the AC power adapter and battery charger in the blood pump of artificial hearts.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A transport case for an electronically controlled device for a patient with an artificial heart includes a first case and a second case; the first case and the second case are hinged together on one side; both the first case and the second case are provided with a fixed inner liner, the inner cavity of which is used to place the electronically controlled device; the edge of the fixed inner liner is provided with a rotating fixing buckle; and the first case is provided with a pull rod assembly.
[0006] In this solution, the AC power adapter and battery charger of the electrical control equipment are placed in the fixed lining of the first and second boxes, respectively. When in use, the entire box can be directly moved to the patient's bedside, which can effectively prevent the AC power adapter and battery charger from being bumped or knocked. Rotary fixing buckles are set up so that after the electrical control equipment is placed in the fixed lining, it can be fixed by rotating fixing buckles to prevent it from flipping out of the fixed lining.
[0007] Furthermore, the first and second boxes are also provided with a wire placement frame, and the wire placement frame is provided with a winding post; the inner cavity of the wire placement frame and the inner cavity of the fixed liner are connected through a wire passage hole.
[0008] In this solution, a wire guide frame is installed, which allows excess wires from the electrical control equipment to be wound around the winding post, preventing the wire harness from moving back and forth and making it easier to manage; it also prevents the wire harness from being bent at a large angle, thus protecting the wire harness.
[0009] Furthermore, a wire routing groove is formed on the inner wall of the fixed lining, and the wire routing groove is connected to the wire passage hole; the power cord of the electrical control equipment passes through the wire routing groove and the wire passage hole in sequence, and then passes through the wire outlet hole on the side wall of the wire frame.
[0010] In this design, the AC power adapter has multiple plug-in interfaces around it, and a wiring channel is provided around it to facilitate the routing of multiple wires from the plug-in interfaces.
[0011] Furthermore, the rotary fixing buckle includes a rotary buckle, which is movably mounted on the top of the fixing liner via a rotating shaft; the bottom of the rotary buckle is provided with a straight groove, one end of a compression spring is connected in the straight groove, and the other end of the compression spring is connected to a spherical post, which is embedded in the spherical groove on the top of the fixing liner.
[0012] In this solution, after the electrical control equipment is placed in the fixed inner lining, the rotating buckle is rotated so that the spherical column at its bottom is embedded in the spherical groove under the elastic force of the compression spring, thereby fixing the position of the rotating buckle. At this time, the edge of the rotating buckle rotates out of the edge of the fixed inner lining, and the rotating buckle confines the electrical control equipment inside the fixed inner lining.
[0013] Furthermore, the pull rod assembly includes a pull rod body, on which two lifting rods are vertically connected. The two lifting rods are movably disposed in lifting grooves within the side wall of the first housing. A strip-shaped hole is opened at the top of the pull rod body, and a pressing block is provided inside the strip-shaped hole. The pressing block is connected to a balance rod inside the pull rod body. A return spring is provided between the balance rod and the inner wall of the pull rod body. Two pressing rods are vertically connected to both ends of the balance rod, and the two pressing rods pass through the two lifting rods respectively.
[0014] The bottom of the pressing rod is connected to a smooth column head, the bottom of which abuts against the inclined surface of the top of the limiting block. The limiting block is fixed to the bottom of the lifting rod. A limiting spring is provided between the limiting block and the inner wall of the lifting rod. A limiting post is connected to the end of the limiting block away from the limiting spring. The limiting post passes through the lifting rod and is embedded in the limiting groove on the side wall of the lifting groove.
[0015] In this design, pressing the pressing block causes the pressing rod to move downwards via the balance bar. The smooth cylindrical head at the bottom of the pressing rod pushes the limiting block to move laterally, causing the limiting post to move out of the limiting groove and canceling the limiting effect on the lifting rod. At this point, pulling the pull rod body upwards will pull out the lifting rod, making it convenient to use.
[0016] Furthermore, a stainless steel fixing tube is fixed inside the lifting groove, and the lifting rod passes through the fixing tube; several limiting grooves are equally spaced on the inner wall of the fixing tube.
[0017] In this design, the fixed tube can strengthen the inner wall structure of the lifting groove; and the stainless steel material is smooth and wear-resistant, making it suitable for the lifting rod to rise and fall inside it.
[0018] Furthermore, an observation frame is provided on the side wall of the second housing, and an observation window made of PMMA material is fixed inside the observation frame.
[0019] In this solution, a transparent observation window is provided, allowing users to see the indicator lights and display status of the electrical control equipment during use.
[0020] Furthermore, the bottom of the first and second boxes are equipped with casters.
[0021] In this design, the steering wheels are equipped with brakes to facilitate moving the box and to secure it.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0023] The electrical control equipment transport case for patients with artificial hearts provided by this utility model has a first and a second housing for placing an AC power adapter and a battery charger, respectively, and these are protected. In use, the case is moved to the required ward by pulling a lever assembly, and then secured with casters for easy transport. The inner lining has a cable routing channel, allowing wires to be directly led out, providing strong cable handling capability. Excess wire length is wound around a winding post to prevent damage from bending. Attached Figure Description
