Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a novel tracheostomy tube plugging tool. Background Technology

[0002] The tracheostomy tube occlusion tool is a medical assistive device used in the recovery stage of patients after tracheostomy. It is mainly used to gradually close the tracheostomy tube, help patients adapt to spontaneous breathing, and assess the conditions for extubation.

[0003] Most commonly used tube occlusion tools are of a fixed design with non-adjustable ventilation holes, making it difficult for patients to gradually adapt and increasing the risk of breathing difficulties or aspiration. Furthermore, some tube occlusion tools lack a stable locking mechanism, making them prone to displacement due to patient coughing or changes in position, thus affecting their effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned common tube plugging tools, such as the inability to adjust the size of the vent hole and the lack of a stable locking structure in some tube plugging tools, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of tracheal tube plugging tool.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A novel tracheal cannula plugging tool includes a bottom tube, a connecting ring, an annular toothed block, a connecting frame, a fixing block, an elastic element, a connecting plate, and a top tube. The top of the bottom tube has an air hole, and an annular toothed block is sleeved on the outside of the bottom tube. The top of the bottom tube is rotatably connected to the top of the bottom tube, and the top of the top tube has a through hole. Connecting plates are connected to both the front and rear ends of the top tube, and connecting rings are connected to the bottom ends of the two connecting plates. Elastic elements are symmetrically arranged on the inner front and inner rear walls of the connecting ring. Fixing blocks are connected to the other ends of the elastic elements on both the front and rear sides. The fixing blocks abut against the annular toothed block. Connecting frames are connected to both the inner front and inner rear walls of the connecting ring, and the elastic elements are all located within the connecting frames.

[0006] As a preferred option, both the bottom tube and the top tube are made of silicone.

[0007] Preferably, both the pores and the through holes are crescent-shaped, and the pores and through holes are the same size.

[0008] Preferably, a rotating ring is also included, with the rotating ring connected to the two connecting plates.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting pipe is also included, with the bottom of the bottom pipe connected to the lower inner side, and the bottom end of the connecting pipe being flush with the bottom pipe.

[0010] Preferably, a sealing ring and a rubber ring are also included. The sealing ring is provided inside the connecting pipe, and a rubber ring is fitted on the upper outer side of the bottom pipe, with the rubber ring in contact with the top pipe.

[0011] This invention has the following advantages: By rotating the rotating ring, the alignment of the two crescent-shaped holes, the air hole and the through hole, can be adjusted to achieve stepless adjustment of the ventilation hole diameter, allowing the patient to gradually adapt to changes in breathing and reducing the risk of suffocation; the design of the fixing block pressing the ring toothed block ensures that the tube-blocking tool is firmly locked after adjustment, preventing shaking caused by the patient coughing or changes in body position, thus preventing the tube-blocking tool from accidentally loosening and improving the safety of use.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0018] A new type of tracheostomy tube plugging tool, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a base tube 1, a connecting ring 2, an annular toothed block 3, a connecting frame 301, a fixing block 302, an elastic element 303, a connecting plate 4, and a top tube 6. The top of the base tube 1 has an air hole 101. An annular toothed block 3 is sleeved on the outside of the base tube 1. The annular toothed block 3 is composed of multiple triangular toothed blocks joined together. The top of the base tube 1 is rotatably connected to the top tube 6. Both the base tube 1 and the top tube 6 are made of silicone material, which is moderately soft and hard, safe, non-toxic, and heat-resistant. The top of the base tube 1 contacts the bottom of the inner end of the top tube 6. The top of the top tube 6 has a through hole 601. Both the air hole 101 and the through hole 601 are crescent-shaped holes. The size of 101 and through hole 601 are the same. Both ends of the jacking pipe 6 are connected to connecting plates 4. The bottom ends of the two connecting plates 4 are connected to connecting rings 2. Elastic elements 303 are symmetrically arranged on the inner front and inner rear walls of the connecting ring 2. The other ends of the elastic elements 303 on both the front and rear sides are connected to fixing blocks 302. The fixing blocks 302 abut against the annular toothed blocks 3. Connecting frames 301 are connected to the inner front and inner rear walls of the connecting ring 2. The elastic elements 303 are all inside the connecting frames 301. The connecting frames 301 guide the fixing blocks 302, so that the fixing blocks 302 can move stably to one side of the connecting ring 2.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a rotating ring 5, a connecting pipe 7, a sealing ring 701, and a rubber ring 102. The rotating ring 5 is connected to the two connecting plates 4. The rotating ring 5 is manually rotated to drive the top pipe 6 and adjust the size of the air-permeable hole. The connecting pipe 7 is connected to the lower inner side of the bottom pipe 1. The bottom end of the connecting pipe 7 is flush with the bottom pipe 1. The sealing ring 701 is provided inside the connecting pipe 7. The rubber ring 102 is fitted on the upper outer side of the bottom pipe 1. The rubber ring 102 is in contact with the top pipe 6. Both the sealing ring 701 and the rubber ring 102 are used to prevent air leakage.

[0020] When using this plugging tool, the bottom tube 1 is inserted into the air tube sleeve 9, so that the connecting tube 7 is fitted onto the air tube sleeve 9. The sealing ring 701 contacts the air tube sleeve 9. Rotating the rotating ring 5 causes the connecting plate 4 and the top tube 6 connected to it to rotate. At this time, the air hole 101 rotates around the vertical axis of the top tube 6. During the rotation of the air hole 101, the air hole 101 will gradually align with the through hole 601. When the air hole 101 and the through hole 601 are completely aligned (i.e., when the two crescent-shaped holes coincide in the vertical plane), the diameter of the plugging tool that allows air to pass through is at its maximum. When the two crescent-shaped holes do not coincide, the plugging tool is not air-permeable. Users can choose to rotate the angle of the rotating ring 5 to adjust the size of the air hole diameter of the plugging tool. The elastic element 303 is a compression spring. Initially, the elastic element 303 is in a compressed state (see reference). Figure 3The elastic element 303 presses against the fixed block 302, causing the fixed block 302 to press against the annular toothed block 3, thus preventing the connecting plate 4 from rotating freely. During the rotation of the rotating ring 5, the connecting plate 4 drives the connecting ring 2 to rotate, and the connecting ring 2 drives the fixed block 302 to rotate. When the fixed block 302 rotates, the annular toothed block 3 will press against the fixed block 302, causing the fixed block 302 to move closer to the connecting ring 2. The elastic element 303 is further compressed. When the fixed block 302 rotates to the junction between the next two teeth of the annular toothed block 3, the elastic element 303 resets, and the elastic element 303 drives the fixed block 302 to reset, so that the fixed block 302 is once again stuck between the two teeth. Without external force to rotate the rotating ring 5 (i.e., when the patient coughs or changes in body position and causes shaking), the jacking tube 6 will not rotate freely.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
