Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a multifunctional integrated bronchoscope for treating phlegm. Background Technology

[0002] The main symptom of respiratory infectious diseases such as avian influenza, SARS, or tuberculosis is coughing up sputum. During clinical examination, the analysis of sputum composition is the main means of diagnosing tuberculosis patients and analyzing their condition. In addition, some thick sputum remains in the patient's respiratory tract, which can also cause discomfort. Therefore, it is often necessary to use a sputum suction device to suction the sputum.

[0003] In related technologies, in order to ensure that the suction tube can be accurately inserted into the sputum-clearing position in the patient's airway so as to accurately sample or aspirate sputum from the airway, it is usually necessary to use a bronchoscope. The location of sputum in the patient's airway is observed and determined through the bronchoscope before the suction tube is inserted for accurate suctioning.

[0004] During the procedure, doctors need to frequently pick up and adjust the bronchoscope for observation and simultaneously adjust the suction tube to remove sputum. The two tubes are prone to tangling during storage, which affects the doctor's use. This not only increases the difficulty of use and maintenance but may also cause equipment malfunctions of the bronchoscope and suction tube, prolonging the operation time and bringing additional risks and discomfort to the patient. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a multifunctional integrated bronchoscope for treating phlegm, which can improve the problems in the prior art where doctors often have difficulty picking up and using the bronchoscope and suction device when performing surgery together, due to the entanglement of the two devices' tubes, resulting in equipment damage and prolonged operation time.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A multifunctional integrated bronchoscope for treating phlegm includes an integrated endoscope body, an insertion tube, a composite tube, and a receiving box. The insertion tube is connected to the front end of the integrated endoscope body. One end of the composite tube is connected to the side wall of the integrated endoscope body. The end of the integrated endoscope body is provided with a rear interface that communicates with the composite tube and is used to connect to the rear end of an external suction device. A central column is rotatably connected inside the receiving box. Multiple limiting blocks are arranged at equal angles along the side wall of the central column. A traction rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the receiving box. The traction rod is drivenly connected to the central column. The composite tube extends into the receiving box and is wound around the central column. The other end of the composite tube extends out of the receiving box. An auxiliary component for assisting gripping is provided on the integrated endoscope body.

[0008] Optionally, the auxiliary component includes a first strap and a second strap, and a rod-shaped grip portion disposed at the end of the integrated lens body. One end of the first strap and the second strap are respectively connected to the outer side wall of the integrated lens body. The end of the first strap is provided with a locking ring, and the end of the second strap is provided with a buckle that matches the locking ring.

[0009] Optionally, the locking ring is provided with a plug plate, and a locking plate is rotatably connected to the end of the plug plate. A spring is provided between the locking plate and the plug plate. The latch is provided with a plug groove that matches the locking plate. The side wall of the plug groove is provided with a locking hole that communicates with the side of the latch and matches the locking plate.

[0010] Optionally, the springs are spaced in multiple intervals.

[0011] Optionally, the rod-shaped grip is detachably connected to the end of the integrated lens body.

[0012] Optionally, it also includes a flexible tube, one end of which is inserted into one end of the flexible tube, and the other end of which is connected to the front end of the integrated endoscope body. A retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outside of the flexible tube.

[0013] Optionally, the fixing ring is provided with an adjustment notch, and a fixing block is provided at both ends of the adjustment notch. Bolts with threaded connections are passed through the two fixing blocks, and a nut is threaded to one end of each bolt.

[0014] Optionally, the rear interface is located at the end of the rod-shaped grip.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0016] The integrated endoscope body is the main gripping structure for doctors to hold and perform bronchoscopic examinations. The receiving case is a separate structure from the integrated endoscope body, typically with a connecting structure at the bottom, such as adhesive or standard connectors, to be mounted to a specific location on the operating table. The insertion tube has a camera and lighting unit at its end, used to capture images during surgery by inserting it into the patient's airway and transmitting the image signals to an external screen, allowing doctors to observe the airway and determine the location of sputum. The composite tube, after the doctor has located the sputum, is inserted into the corresponding location as a suction tube to aspirate the sputum. One end of the composite tube is connected to the side wall of the integrated endoscope body, forming a multi-functional integrated structure that facilitates timely operation by the doctor.

[0017] The composite tube section located at the connection end with the integrated endoscope and between it and the terminal tubing used to insert into the patient's airway is coiled up in the receiving box when not in use. Depending on actual usage needs, the physician can pull the traction rod, using the pawl on the traction rod to drive the ratchet wheel for small, controllable rotation. Each turn of the ratchet utilizes the limiting block to push the composite tube coiled around the central post outward a certain distance, achieving the desired usage distance without extending it too far, thus reducing the risk of entanglement with the insertion tube. Simultaneously, the spacing between the receiving box and the handheld integrated endoscope further ensures proper spacing between the ends of the composite tube and the insertion tube, preventing collisions, interference, or entanglement. This effectively improves upon the problems in existing technologies where physicians frequently encounter difficulties in handling and using the bronchoscope and suction device due to entanglement of the two devices' tubing during surgery, leading to equipment damage and prolonged surgical time.

Figure 2 This is a partial structural diagram of a multifunctional integrated bronchoscope for treating phlegm, as proposed in this utility model.

Figure 4 for Figure 2 Enlarged view of point A in the middle; Figure 5 for Figure 2 A magnified view of point B in the middle. (See image below.) Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a multifunctional integrated bronchoscope for treating phlegm, including an integrated endoscope body 1, an insertion tube 2, a composite tube 3, and a receiving box 4. The insertion tube 2 is connected to the front end of the integrated endoscope body 1, one end of the composite tube 3 is connected to the side wall of the integrated endoscope body 1, and the end of the integrated endoscope body 1 is provided with a rear end interface 1a that communicates with the composite tube 3 and is used to connect to an external suction device. A central column 10 is rotatably connected inside the receiving box 4, and multiple limiting blocks 12 are arranged at equal angles along the side wall of the central column 10. A ratchet 11 is provided at the bottom of the central column 10, and a traction rod 13 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the receiving box 4. The traction rod 13 is arranged radially along the central column 10 and has a pawl 14 that engages with the ratchet 11 on its top. The composite tube 3 extends into the receiving box 4 and is wrapped around the central column 10, with the other end of the composite tube 3 extending out of the receiving box 4. An auxiliary component for assisting gripping is provided on the integrated endoscope body 1.

[0027] In this embodiment of the invention, the integrated endoscope 1 is the main holding structure for the doctor to hold and observe the bronchoscopy. The receiving box 4 is a separate structure from the integrated endoscope 1, and during use, it typically has a connecting structure at the bottom, such as being installed at a specific position on the operating table via adhesive or standard connectors. The end of the insertion tube 2 is equipped with a camera and lighting components, used to insert into the patient's airway during surgery to capture images and transmit the image signals to an external device screen, facilitating the doctor's observation of the patient's airway and determination of the sputum location. The composite tube 3, after the doctor has determined the sputum location, is inserted into the corresponding position as a suction tube to aspirate the sputum. One end of the composite tube 3 is connected to the side wall of the integrated endoscope 1, forming a multifunctional integrated structure that facilitates timely operation by the doctor. At the end of the integrated endoscope 1, a rear end interface 1a is provided for connecting to an external suction device. Through the rear end interface 1a, negative pressure is provided, and the suctioned sputum is exported and collected. Furthermore, the composite tube 3 section located at the connection end with the integrated endoscope 1, between it and the terminal tube used to extend into the patient's airway, is coiled up in the receiving box 4 when not in use. Depending on actual usage needs, the doctor can pull the traction rod 13, using the pawl 14 on the traction rod 13 to drive the ratchet 11 to make a small, controllable rotation. Each turn of the ratchet allows the limiting block 12 to push the composite tube 3 coiled around the intermediate column 10 outward a certain distance, achieving the desired usage distance without extending it too far, thus reducing the risk of entanglement with the insertion tube 2. Simultaneously, the spaced arrangement between the receiving box 4 and the handheld integrated endoscope 1 further reduces the distance between the ends of the composite tube 3 and the insertion tube 2, preventing collisions, interference, or entanglement. This effectively improves the problems in existing technology where doctors frequently encounter difficulties in handling and using the equipment, equipment damage, and prolonged surgical time due to entanglement of the tubes of the two devices when performing surgery using a bronchoscope and a suction device.

[0028] Optionally, the auxiliary components include a first strap 15 and a second strap 20, and a rod-shaped grip 1b disposed at the end of the integrated endoscope 1. One end of the first strap 15 and the second strap 20 are respectively connected to the outer side wall of the integrated endoscope 1 and are arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis of the rod-shaped grip 1b. The end of the first strap 15 is provided with a locking ring 16, and the end of the second strap 20 is provided with a buckle 19 that matches the locking ring 16. Exemplarily, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the doctor holds the integrated endoscope 1 to adjust the end lens of the bronchoscope insertion tube 2 and to perform sputum suction operations on the composite tube 3, the first strap 15 and the second strap 20 can be assembled, and the overall length of the first strap 15 can be adjusted using the locking ring 16. Finally, the locking ring 16 and the buckle 19 are combined and connected to form a loop structure that can wrap around the operator's hand. By wrapping and tightening, the doctor can hold the entire multifunctional bronchoscope more firmly, reducing errors caused by hand fatigue or slippage during operation and improving surgical efficiency.

[0029] Optionally, the locking ring 16 is provided with a plug plate 161, and a retaining plate 18 is rotatably connected to the end of the plug plate 161. A spring 17 is provided between the retaining plate 18 and the plug plate 161. The latch 19 is provided with a plug groove 191 that matches the retaining plate 18. A retaining hole 192 that communicates with the side of the latch 19 and matches the retaining plate 18 is opened on the side wall of the plug groove 191. Exemplarily, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the locking ring 16 and the latch 19 are combined and connected, the retaining plate 18 is first pressed to compress the spring 17, so that it is almost flush with the plug plate 161, and is inserted into the plug groove 191, which is slightly higher than the sum of their thicknesses. After being inserted into place, the retaining plate 18 will be exactly at the opening position of the retaining hole 192. At this time, the retaining plate 18 loses the abutment of the groove wall of the plug groove 191 and is lifted up by the elastic force of the spring 17 to extend into the retaining hole 192. At this point, the card plate 18 can cooperate with the card hole 192 in the insertion direction, which prevents the locking ring 16 and the latch 19 from loosening, ensures the tightness of the connection, has a simple structure, and is convenient for connection and unlocking.

[0030] Optionally, multiple springs 17 are spaced apart. For example, in this embodiment of the present invention, multiple springs 17 located between the card plate 18 and the plug-in plate 161 are spaced apart to ensure sufficient and uniform elastic force to accurately and adequately ensure that the card plate 18 is lifted and snapped into the card hole 192.

[0031] Optionally, the rod-shaped grip 1b is detachably connected to the end of the integrated endoscope 1. Exemplarily, in this embodiment of the invention, the rod-shaped grip 1b can be detachably installed to the end of the integrated endoscope 1 via a threaded connection. Further, a rear end interface 1a is located at the end of the rod-shaped grip 1b. Serving as a grip for the doctor during use, and as the sputum transfer and external connector of the composite tube 3, it can be promptly disassembled for cleaning and maintenance after surgery or when not in use, ensuring its overall service life.

[0032] Optionally, the system also includes a flexible tube 5. One end of the insertion tube 2 is inserted into one end of the flexible tube 5, and the other end of the flexible tube 5 is connected to the front end of the integrated mirror body 1. A fixing ring 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the flexible tube 5. Exemplarily, in this embodiment of the invention, the insertion tube 2 and the integrated mirror body 1 are connected by a flexible tube 5 for quick insertion, resulting in a simple structure and convenient installation. Furthermore, the soft flexible tube 5 can deform to some extent according to the swing of the insertion tube 2, ensuring operational flexibility and precision. Simultaneously, after the connection is completed, a fixing ring 6 is provided on the outside of the flexible tube 5. The fixing ring 6 has an adjustment notch, and fixing blocks 7 are provided at both ends of the adjustment notch. Bolts 8 with threaded connections are threaded through the two fixing blocks 7, and one end of the bolt 8 is threadedly connected to a nut 9. By tightening the bolts 8 and cooperating with the nut 9, the flexible tube 5 is locked, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the insertion tube 2 and the front end of the integrated mirror body 1.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
