Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an interface locking device. Background Technology
[0002] Interface locking devices are frequently used for connecting tubing in medical water jets. For example, the tubing between the piston pump and the end of the water jet head is connected and locked using an interface locking device. An interface locking device typically includes a lock housing, a lock cylinder, and a non-circular locking block. The lock cylinder rotates freely along its axis within the lock housing. The lock housing and the head of the lock cylinder each have a through hole and a slot that match the shape of the locking block. The locking block is inserted through the through hole into the slot, driving the lock cylinder to rotate. This causes the locking block to misalign with the through hole, locking the locking block and the lock cylinder. The tubing on the axis of the locking block connects with the tubing on the axis of the lock cylinder, achieving interface connection and locking.
[0003] Currently, most medical water jet interface locking devices use magnetic attraction to position the lock cylinder and lock housing to determine the rotation angle. However, the high-frequency, high-vibration operation of the water jet causes insufficient magnetic attraction, frequently resulting in the lock cylinder rotating unexpectedly, causing the machine to stop or even the lock block to fall off. Furthermore, when the machine is stopped, the absence of the lock block allows the lock cylinder to rotate during transportation or due to unexpected vibrations, causing the through hole and slot to malfunction and preventing the lock block from being inserted.

Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0027] This application provides an interface locking device, which solves the problem of weak positioning stability of the lock core in a medical water jet interface locking device.
[0028] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0029] Example:
[0030] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an interface locking device, which includes: a lock housing 10, a lock cylinder 20, and a ball-head plunger 30;
[0031] The outer wall of the lock cylinder 20 is connected to the inner wall of the lock shell 10 by a bearing, so that the lock cylinder 20 can rotate freely along the axis inside the lock shell 10; the lock shell 10 has a non-circular through hole 11 at the head end, and the lock cylinder 20 has a groove 21 at the head end that matches the shape of the through hole 11.
[0032] The end of the lock housing 10 is connected and fixed to the equipment housing 40. The equipment housing 40 has a positioning groove 41, and the ball-head plunger 30 is installed in the positioning groove 41.
[0033] The end face of the lock cylinder 20 is provided with a running groove 22 and a stopping groove 23. After the lock block passes through the through hole 11, it is inserted into the slot 21, driving the lock cylinder 20 to rotate to the running position by a specified angle. The slot 21 is misaligned with the through hole 11, locking the lock block in the slot 21. The ball head 31 of the ball plunger 30 is pushed into the running groove 22, effectively positioning the lock cylinder 20 and preventing it from rotating during operation. When the slot 21 is aligned with the through hole 11, the lock cylinder 20 is in the stopping position, and the ball head 31 of the ball plunger 30 is pushed into the stopping groove 23, effectively positioning the lock cylinder 20 and preventing it from rotating when stopped.
[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the through hole 11 is an elliptical hole.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the ball-head plunger 30 includes: a ball head 31, a spring 32, and a plunger housing 33;
[0036] The plunger housing 33 is installed in the positioning groove 41, the ball head 31 is installed at the open end of the plunger housing 33, and the spring 32 is installed in the plunger housing 33 to provide the ball head 31 with an outward pushing force.
[0037] The outer wall of the plunger housing 33 is provided with external threads, and the inner wall of the positioning groove 41 is provided with internal threads. The plunger housing 33 is threadedly connected to the positioning groove 41, which facilitates the adjustment of the installation depth of the plunger housing 33.
[0038] The plunger housing 33 has an axially extending slit at its open end. By pressing down the ball head 31 with a screwdriver and inserting it into the slit, the plunger housing 33 can be driven to rotate.
[0039] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a photoelectric sensor 50 is installed on the lock housing 10, and a lever 24 is provided on the outer wall of the lock cylinder 20. When the lock cylinder 20 is in the stop position, the lever 24 blocks the beam propagation path of the photoelectric sensor 50. At this time, the safety switch of the medical water jet is closed, and the water jet cannot start running. When the lock cylinder 20 is in the running position, the lever 24 just moves away from the beam propagation path of the photoelectric sensor 50. At this time, the safety switch of the medical water jet is opened, and the water jet can start running.
[0040] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the equipment housing 40 is a piston pump housing, and the lock housing 10 is connected to the flange of the equipment housing 40; a guide hole 25 is provided on the axis of the lock core 20, and the slot 21 is connected to the outlet 42 of the equipment housing 40 through the guide hole 25.
[0041] A flow channel is opened on the axis of the locking block, and the slot 21 is connected to the pipeline at the end of the water cutter head through the flow channel to provide water flow to the water cutter head.
[0042] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0043] In this embodiment of the utility model, the interface locking device has a device housing 40 installed at the end of the lock housing 10, and a ball-head plunger 30 installed on the device housing 40. The end face of the lock cylinder 20 has a running groove 22 and a stopping groove 23. When the lock cylinder 20 rotates to the running position, the ball head 31 of the ball-head plunger 30 is pushed into the running groove 22 to effectively position the lock cylinder 20 and prevent it from rotating during operation. When the lock cylinder 20 is in the stopping position, the ball head 31 of the ball-head plunger 30 is pushed into the stopping groove 23 to effectively position the lock cylinder 20 and prevent it from rotating when stopped. This enhances the positioning stability of the lock cylinder 20 and avoids the situation of accidental rotation of the lock cylinder 20.
