Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, specifically to a pleural fluid colorimetric card. Background Technology

[0002] Pleural effusion, a common clinical syndrome characterized by the pathological accumulation of fluid within the pleural cavity, is closely related to the physiological characteristics of the pleural cavity. The pleural cavity is a potential space between the visceral and parietal pleura. Under normal circumstances, it contains 5–15 ml of fluid, which plays a lubricating role during respiratory movements. Furthermore, 500–1000 ml of fluid is formed and absorbed within the pleural cavity daily, maintaining a dynamic equilibrium. However, when any cause leads to increased fluid production or decreased fluid absorption within the pleural cavity, this balance is disrupted, resulting in pleural effusion.

[0003] In clinical practice, there is currently a lack of devices for comparing the color of chest drainage fluid, which may affect the accurate diagnosis and treatment of pleural effusion-related conditions to some extent.

[0004] Therefore, it is essential to design a colorimetric card that can quickly compare the colors of chest drainage fluid. Utility Model Content

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the colorimetric card body includes a first card body and a second card body.

[0012] The left bottom surface of the first card body and the right bottom surface of the second card body are pivotally connected by a connecting piece, so that the colorimetric card body can be switched between a first state and a second state. When the colorimetric card body is in the first state, the first card body and the second card body are on the same horizontal plane. When the colorimetric card body is in the second state, the bottom surface of the first card body and the back surface of the second card body are in contact.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a locking member is provided on the upper surface of the first card body, the locking member can move along the width direction of the first card body, and a locking groove is provided on the upper surface of the second card body. When the locking member moves to one side of the second card body, one end of the locking member is inserted into the locking groove so that the colorimetric card body is kept in the first state.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface of the first card body is provided with a sliding groove, the sliding groove extends along the width direction of the first card body, and one end extends through to the left side of the first card body, and the locking member is slidably disposed in the sliding groove.

[0015] The front and rear walls of the slide are provided with first limiting parts, and the distance between the two limiting parts is less than the width of the locking member, so as to restrict the locking member within the slide.

[0016] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a second limiting part is provided on both the front and rear groove walls of the locking groove, and the distance between the two second limiting parts is less than the width of the locking member, so as to restrict one end of the locking member in the sliding groove.

[0017] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surface of the first card body is provided with a metal sheet that extends along the length direction of the first card body, and the bottom surface of the second card body is provided with a magnetic absorbing sheet that extends along the length direction of the second card body.

[0057] A pleural fluid colorimetric card according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] Reference Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a pleural fluid colorimetric card provided according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a colorimetric card body 10 and a plurality of colorimetric blocks 13.

[0059] The colorimetric card body 10 has a hollowed-out groove 11 in the middle. The hollowed-out groove 11 extends along the length direction of the colorimetric card body 10. The left and right walls of the hollowed-out groove 11 are provided with multiple mounting grooves 12 along the front and back directions. The multiple mounting grooves 12 extend along the width direction of the colorimetric card body 10.

[0060] Multiple colorimetric blocks 13 are inserted one-to-one into multiple mounting slots 12, and each colorimetric block 13 can be moved out into the hollow slot 11.

[0061] The colorimetric card body 10 has multiple transparent windows 14 on its surface, each window corresponding to one of the mounting slots 12 for observing the colorimetric blocks 13 within the slots. Each transparent window 14 has a category label 15 corresponding to the colorimetric block 13. The category label 15 can be normal, active bleeding, chylous fistula, infection, etc. Each colorimetric block 13 has a color coating, the color of which matches the color and label of the pleural effusion corresponding to the symptom.

[0062] Based on the above, by providing a hollowed-out groove 11 and mounting grooves 12 on the left and right sides of the colorimetric card body 10, and inserting the colorimetric block 13 into the mounting groove 12, it is easy for pleural fluid to be exposed from the hollowed-out groove 11 during use and compared with the colorimetric block 13 on the side. At the same time, when there are different comparison habits or uncertainties, the colorimetric block 13 can be moved out into the hollowed-out groove 11, making the comparison clearer and facilitating the accurate judgment of the comparison results. Each transparent window 14 is provided with a category label 15 corresponding to the colorimetric block 13, which makes it easy for medical staff to quickly identify the category represented by different colorimetric blocks 13, improving the efficiency and accuracy of judgment.

[0063] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the colorimetric card body 10 includes a first card body 16 and a second card body 17.

[0064] The left bottom surface of the first card body 16 and the right bottom surface of the second card body 17 are pivotally connected by a connecting piece 18, so that the colorimetric card body 10 can be switched between a first state and a second state. When the colorimetric card body 10 is in the first state, the first card body 16 and the second card body 17 are on the same horizontal plane. When the colorimetric card body 10 is in the second state, the bottom surface of the first card body 16 and the back surface of the second card body 17 are in contact.

[0065] Thus, the colorimetric card body 10 can be pivotally connected by the connecting piece 18 through the left bottom surface of the first card body 16 and the right bottom surface of the second card body 17, allowing the colorimetric card body 10 to switch between a first state (the first card body 16 and the second card body 17 are on the same horizontal plane) and a second state (the bottom surface of the first card body 16 and the back surface of the second card body 17 are in contact). This design increases the flexibility of colorimetric card use and can adapt to the needs of use in different scenarios.

[0066] When the colorimetric card body 10 is in the second state, the bottom surface of the first card body 16 and the back surface of the second card body 17 are attached together. Compared with the first state, its overall volume is reduced, making it easier to store and carry, saving storage space. It is especially suitable for situations where space is limited in medical settings or where it is necessary to carry it out for use.

[0067] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface of the first card body 16 is provided with a locking member 19, which can move along the width direction of the first card body 16. The upper surface of the second card body 17 is provided with a locking groove 171. When the locking member 19 moves to one side of the second card body 17, one end of the locking member 19 is inserted into the locking groove 171 so that the colorimetric card body 10 is kept in the first state.

[0068] Thus, by providing a locking member 19 that can move along the width direction on the upper surface of the first card body 16, and a locking groove 171 on the upper surface of the second card body 17, when the locking member 19 moves to one side of the second card body 17 and one end is inserted into the locking groove 171, the colorimetric card body 10 can be effectively locked in the first state (the first card body 16 and the second card body 17 are on the same horizontal plane). This locking method is stable and reliable, preventing the colorimetric card body 10 from accidentally changing its state during use, ensuring that the pleural fluid colorimetric operation is carried out in a stable environment, and guaranteeing the accuracy of the colorimetric results.

[0069] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface of the first card body 16 is provided with a sliding groove 161, the sliding groove 161 extends along the width direction of the first card body 16, and one end extends through to the left side of the first card body 16, and the locking member 19 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 161.

[0070] The front and rear walls of the slide groove 161 are provided with first limiting parts 162, and the distance between the two limiting parts is less than the width of the locking member 19, so as to restrict the locking member 19 within the slide groove 161.

[0071] Thus, the upper surface of the first card body 16 is provided with a groove 161 extending along the width direction and penetrating to the left side, and the locking member 19 is slidably disposed in the groove 161. The groove 161 provides a clear guide path for the movement of the locking member 19, ensuring that the locking member 19 can move smoothly and accurately along the predetermined direction, so that the locking member 19 can accurately align with the locking groove 171 on the second card body 17, thereby reliably locking the colorimetric card body 10 in the first state and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the pleural fluid colorimetric operation.

[0072] Meanwhile, both the front and rear walls of the slide 161 are provided with first limiting parts 162, and the distance between the two limiting parts is less than the width of the locking member 19. This design cleverly confines the locking member 19 within the slide 161, effectively preventing the locking member 19 from coming out of the slide 161 during sliding, ensuring that the locking member 19 always moves within the constraint range of the slide 161, and improving the stability and reliability of the overall structure of the colorimetric card.

[0073] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, a second limiting part 172 is provided on both the front and rear groove walls of the locking groove 171, and the distance between the two second limiting parts 172 is less than the width of the locking member 19, so as to restrict one end of the locking member 19 within the sliding groove 161.

[0074] Thus, the locking groove 171 has two second limiting parts 172 on its front and rear walls, and the distance between the two second limiting parts 172 is less than the width of the locking member 19. When one end of the locking member 19 is inserted into the locking groove 171, the second limiting parts 172 can further restrict the position of one end of the locking member 19 in the locking groove 171, preventing the locking member 19 from shaking or accidentally falling out in the locking groove 171. This allows the colorimetric card body 10 to be held more stably in the first state, providing more reliable support for the pleural fluid colorimetric operation and ensuring that the accuracy of the colorimetric results is not affected by external factors.

[0075] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surface of the first card body 16 is provided with a metal sheet 163, the metal sheet 163 extends along the length direction of the first card body 16, and the bottom surface of the second card body 17 is provided with a magnetic absorbing sheet 173, the magnetic absorbing sheet 173 extends along the length direction of the second card body 17.

[0076] When the colorimetric card body 10 is in the second state, the metal sheet 163 and the magnetic sheet 173 are attracted to each other.

[0077] Thus, a metal sheet 163 extending along the length direction is provided on the bottom surface of the first card body 16, and a magnetic suction sheet 173 extending along the length direction is provided on the bottom surface of the second card body 17. When the colorimetric card body 10 is in the second state (the bottom surface of the first card body 16 and the back surface of the second card body 17 are in contact), the magnetic suction sheet 173 and the metal sheet 163 can attract each other, thereby helping to stably hold the colorimetric card body 10 in the second state. This further enhances the stability of the colorimetric card when stored or carried, prevents it from being accidentally unfolded, and facilitates operation and carrying by medical personnel.

[0078] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, each colorimetric block 13 is provided with a pushing part 131 at one end, the pushing part 131 is located in the hollow groove 11, and one end extends toward the bottom surface of the colorimetric card body 10.

[0079] Thus, by providing a pushing part 131 at one end of each colorimetric block 13, located within the hollow groove 11 and extending towards the bottom surface of the colorimetric card body 10, medical personnel can easily move the colorimetric block 13 out of the mounting groove 12 or adjust its position by directly operating the pushing part 131 for colorimetric comparison with pleural fluid. This makes the operation of the colorimetric block 13 more intuitive and convenient, improving the efficiency of colorimetric work.

[0080] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the colorimetric card body 10 is made of plastic.

[0081] Thus, the plastic material is lightweight, making the colorimetric card body 10 easy to carry. Medical staff can easily put it in their pockets, medical bags, or other carrying tools, making it convenient to use in different departments, wards, or outpatient medical scenarios without adding too much burden to medical staff, improving work efficiency and ease of use. At the same time, it also has a certain strength, making the colorimetric card body 10 have a longer service life.

[0082] Preferably, in one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom surface of the second card body 17 is provided with a groove 174, and the magnetic absorbing piece 173 is disposed in the groove 174.

[0083] Thus, by embedding the magnetic clasp 173 into the groove 174, the bottom surface of the second card body 17 can remain flat, and when the colorimetric card body 10 is in the second state, the first card body 16 and the second card body 17 fit together more tightly.

[0084] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention.
