Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical fiber fixing, and more specifically, to an optical fiber reel. Background Technology

[0002] In existing medical device user terminals, optical fibers are typically fixed using a "hole-and-slot" or "slot-and-slot" method: the fiber optic tip is inserted into a pre-set small hole or slit, and then the excess fiber is manually coiled around a disc. While this structure is simple, it has the following significant drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Unstable fixation: The diameter tolerance between the pinhole and the fiber optic head is difficult to match precisely. If it is too large, it will wobble; if it is too small, it will be difficult to insert or remove. During surgical use, when transporting or sterilizing and storing the fiber optic head, it is very easy to slip off or be bumped, causing chipping of the end face or scratches on the coating.

[0004] 2. The operation is cumbersome: the nurse needs to use both hands: one hand to press down on the disc and the other hand to repeatedly find the position of the small hole. The tension also needs to be adjusted constantly during the winding process, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0005] 3. Disinfection dead spots: The inner walls of small holes and deep crevices cannot be fully moistened by disinfectant, and residual blood or cleaning solution can easily accumulate, increasing the risk of cross-infection.

[0006] 4. Lifespan reduction: Repeated insertion and removal cause the coating on the surface of the fiber optic head to peel off. Clinical statistics show that on average, 10-15% of each fiber optic cable is prematurely scrapped due to end-face damage.

[0007] 5. Limited winding method: Traditional disc structures only offer one winding method, resulting in a limited winding structure and low flexibility in use. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide an optical fiber disk to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0009] This utility model provides an optical fiber reel, including a reel body, a snap-fit ​​structure for fixing the optical fiber head and a limiting structure for coiling the wire bundle, all disposed on the reel body.

[0010] The snap-fit ​​structure includes a bendable fixing piece, a snap-fit ​​piece disposed on the fixing piece, and a snap-fit ​​groove disposed corresponding to the snap-fit ​​piece; when the snap-fit ​​piece is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove, the fixing piece is in a bent and flipped state, and the optical fiber head is fixed by the bent and flipped fixing piece; multiple sets of limiting structures are provided.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the disc body is provided with a receiving groove for receiving the fixing piece.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting structure is provided in three groups, including limiting component one, limiting component two, and limiting component three arranged sequentially from the inside to the outside.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting component 1 includes a plurality of limiting pieces 1 arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction. One side of each limiting piece is integrally formed with the disc body, while the other side is free-formed, with the free-formed side located near the center of the circle.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting component two includes a plurality of limiting pieces two arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction, wherein the free end of the limiting piece two is arranged in the opposite direction to the free end of the limiting piece one.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the limiting component assembly three includes a plurality of limiting pieces three arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction. The limiting pieces three are sleeved outside the limiting piece one, and the free end of the limiting piece three is arranged in the same direction as the free end of the limiting piece two.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the disc is sheet-shaped and deformable.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model's technical solution are:

[0018] This design features a snap-lock structure for quick, one-handed locking, with uniform clamping force resisting ≥5N of tensile strength. This prevents fiber optic heads from slipping or being bumped, reducing the rate of fiber optic head end-face damage and scrap. The flat, hole-free surface ensures thorough disinfection, minimizing the risk of cross-infection. Multiple limiting components accommodate different cable lengths, allowing for flexible coiling and overcoming the limitations of traditional methods. The sheet-like, deformable disc body adapts to various scenarios, improving operational efficiency and fiber lifespan, making it widely applicable across all aspects of medical procedures.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for the purpose of illustration and description, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0026] like Figures 1-2 As shown, this utility model provides an optical fiber tray, including a tray body 1, a snap-fit ​​structure for fixing the optical fiber head 10, and a limiting structure for winding the wire bundle 9, all disposed on the tray body 1. The tray body 1 is sheet-shaped and deformable. The tray body 1 serves as the basic load-bearing structure, providing an installation carrier for the snap-fit ​​structure and the limiting structure. The sheet-shaped and deformable nature of the tray body 1 allows it to adapt to different storage spaces or usage scenarios (such as the limited space of operating rooms or sterilization supply centers), and it can deform appropriately under stress to meet operational requirements.

[0027] The snap-fit ​​structure includes a bendable fixing piece 2, a snap-fit ​​piece 3 disposed on the fixing piece 2, and a snap-fit ​​groove 4 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​piece 3; when the snap-fit ​​piece 3 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 4, the fixing piece 2 is in a bent and flipped state, and the optical fiber head 10 is fixed by the bent and flipped fixing piece 2.

[0028] In the above solution, the bendable nature of the fixing piece 2 allows it to flip. When the latching piece 3 engages with the latching slot 4, the fixing piece 2 bends and flips to form a ring-shaped clamping grip on the fiber optic head 10. The mechanical clamping force stably fixes the fiber optic head 10. This solves the problem of unstable fixing with traditional "hole-type" and "slot-type" methods. It can be locked with a single press of the latch, enabling quick one-handed operation and simplifying the process. The ring-shaped clamping grip ensures uniform clamping force and can resist ≥5N axial tensile force, preventing the fiber optic head 10 from slipping and bumping during transportation and sterilization, reducing the risk of end face chipping or coating scratches, and minimizing premature scrapping due to damage.

[0029] The disc body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 5 for receiving the fixing piece 2. The receiving groove 5 is adapted to the size of the fixing piece 2. When the snap-fit ​​structure is not used, the fixing piece 2 can be laid flat and stored in the receiving groove 5 so that the fixing piece 2 does not protrude from the surface of the disc body 1.

[0030] The limiting structure is configured in multiple sets. In this embodiment, three sets of limiting structures are configured, including limiting component one, limiting component two, and limiting component three arranged sequentially from the inside out. These multiple sets of limiting structures are distributed from the inside out, forming winding areas of different radii. The fiber optic bundle 9 can be wound around the appropriate component according to its length requirements. The limiting effect of different components constrains the bundle 9 within a specific area. This solves the problems of the traditional disc structure's single winding method and low flexibility, meeting the bundle 9 management needs in different scenarios such as surgery, disinfection, and storage.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the limiting component includes a plurality of limiting plates 6 spaced apart in a circumferential direction. One side of each limiting plate 6 is integrally formed with the disc body 1, while the other side is free-form, with the free-form side located closer to the center. A wire harness 9 is coiled below the limiting plates 6, and the multiple limiting plates 6 limit the wire harness 9, causing it to be arranged in a ring. After coiling, the wire harness 9 has an outward force, thus firmly coiling within the area defined by the multiple limiting plates 6.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, the second limiting component includes several limiting plates 7 arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction, with the free ends of the second limiting plates 7 and the free ends of the first limiting plates 6 arranged in opposite directions. The wire harness 9 is coiled below the second limiting plates 7, and the multiple first limiting plates 6 limit the wire harness 9, causing the wire harness 9 to be arranged in a ring shape.

[0033] like Figure 5 As shown, the limiting component three includes a plurality of limiting pieces three 8 arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction. The limiting pieces three 8 are sleeved outside the limiting piece one 6, and the free ends of the limiting pieces three 8 are arranged in the same direction as the free ends of the limiting piece two 7. The limiting pieces three 8 and the limiting piece two 7 are arranged in the same way, the difference being that the radius of the coiled area formed by the multiple limiting pieces three 8 is larger.

[0034] certainly, Figures 3-5 The demonstration only shows the winding method of the wire harness 9 when each of the three sets of limiting components is used individually. It can also be wound in a cross manner, such as winding the wire harness 9 onto both limiting piece 6 and limiting piece 7 at the same time, or winding it onto both limiting piece 6 and limiting piece 8 at the same time. The winding method is not unique.

[0035] This design features a snap-lock structure for quick, one-handed locking, with uniform clamping force resisting ≥5N of tensile strength. This prevents fiber optic heads from slipping or being bumped, reducing the rate of fiber optic head end-face damage and scrap. The flat, hole-free surface ensures thorough disinfection, minimizing the risk of cross-infection. Multiple limiting components accommodate different cable lengths, allowing for flexible coiling and overcoming the limitations of traditional methods. The sheet-like, deformable disc body adapts to various scenarios, improving operational efficiency and fiber lifespan, making it widely applicable across all aspects of medical procedures.

[0036] Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described and explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented according to conventional means in the art.
