Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a tracheostomy cannula plug. Background Technology
[0002] In the medical field, tracheotomy is a common surgical procedure, often used to solve problems such as airway obstruction and respiratory dysfunction in patients. The tracheostomy cannula, as an important medical device for maintaining airway patency after tracheotomy, plays a key role in clinical treatment.
[0003] However, existing tracheostomy tubes and their accompanying caps have some significant shortcomings during use. On the one hand, the existing caps cannot adjust the size of the air inlet of the tracheostomy tube, making it difficult for medical staff to flexibly control the ventilation volume according to the patient's specific condition and respiratory status, which is not conducive to the patient's rehabilitation treatment. On the other hand, different patients may have different tracheostomy tube sizes, but the existing caps cannot be well adapted to these different sizes of tracheostomy tubes, resulting in poor sealing effect and even air leakage, which affects the treatment effect and may also cause complications such as infection.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a gas-cutting sleeve plug to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This utility model provides a gas cutting sleeve plug cap, which solves the problems of existing gas cutting sleeve plug caps being unable to adjust the size of the air inlet and being unable to adapt to gas cutting sleeves of different sizes.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a gas cutting sleeve plug, comprising:
[0007] The mounting plate has an air inlet inside.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] First Embodiment
[0025] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a first embodiment of a gas cutting sleeve plug provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows a partial cross-sectional structure.
[0026] Figure 3 for Figure 2 The enlarged schematic diagram of part A is shown. A gas cutting sleeve plug includes: a mounting plate 1, wherein an air inlet 11 is provided inside the mounting plate 1;
[0027] Connector 2, which is fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting plate 1;
[0028] A support frame 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 1. A rotating ring 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 3. A bearing 33 is fixedly installed inside the rotating ring 32. A threaded rod 35 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the rotating ring 32. A conical plug 36 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the threaded rod 35. The conical plug 36 is located on the inner side of the air inlet 11.
[0029] The connector 2 is multi-layered and stepped, and each step of the connector 2 is provided with a sealing gasket 21.
[0030] The support frame 3 has through slots 31 on both the front and back sides.
[0031] Both sides of the threaded rod 35 are provided with sliding grooves 37, and the inner sides of the two sliding grooves 37 are slidably connected with limit rods 38. One end of the two limit rods 38 is fixedly installed on both sides of the inner side of the support frame 3.
[0032] The connector 2 is hollow inside and communicates with the air inlet 1.
[0033] The air inlet 11 is the channel for gas to enter and exit the tracheostomy cannula. Its size adjustment is directly related to the patient's ventilation volume and plays a key role in controlling gas flow in the entire function of the tracheostomy cannula plug.
[0034] The connector 2 has a multi-layered stepped structure, with a sealing gasket 21 on each step. This multi-layered stepped design is designed to accommodate tracheostomy tubes of different sizes. In actual clinical applications, different patients use tracheostomy tubes with different inner diameters due to differences in their condition, age, and physical condition. When the connector 2 is inserted into the tracheostomy tube, medical staff can select the appropriate diameter step section to match it according to the inner diameter of the tracheostomy tube. For example, for a tracheostomy tube with a smaller inner diameter, the smaller diameter step section of the connector 2 can be inserted; if the inner diameter of the tracheostomy tube is larger, the larger diameter step section can be selected. The sealing gasket 21 can fill the gap between the connector 2 and the tracheostomy tube, effectively preventing gas leakage, ensuring a good sealing effect, avoiding the impact of air leakage on the patient's respiratory treatment effect, and reducing the risk of complications such as infection.
[0035] The limiting rod 38 slides on the inner side of the slide groove 37, so that the threaded rod 35 can only move along the axial direction during the movement, avoiding the threaded rod 35 from deviating during the movement, and ensuring that the conical plug 36 can move up and down accurately to block or open the air inlet 11.
[0036] The working principle of the gas cutting sleeve plug provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0037] During installation, connector 2 is inserted into the tracheostomy tube. The steps on connector 2 allow it to adaptively match the tracheostomy tube. For example, if the inner diameter of the tracheostomy tube is small, a smaller diameter step portion of connector 2 can be selected; if the inner diameter is large, a larger diameter step portion is selected. When the tracheostomy tube needs to be sealed, medical personnel rotate the rotating ring 32 through the through groove 31. The rotating ring 32 drives the threaded rod 35 to rotate via the bearing 33. Because the threaded rod 35 is threadedly connected to the rotating ring 32 and restricted by the limiting rod 38, the threaded rod 35 can only move downwards axially, thereby driving the conical plug 36 downwards, gradually sealing the through hole 11 and reducing or blocking airflow. When the tracheostomy tube needs to be opened, the rotating ring 32 is rotated in the opposite direction. The threaded rod 35 drives the conical plug 36 upwards, opening the through hole 11. Airflow can then pass through the hollow part of connector 2 and the through hole 11, restoring the ventilation function of the tracheostomy tube.
[0038] Compared with related technologies, the gas cutting sleeve plug provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0039] The mounting plate 1, air inlet 11, support frame 3, rotating part 34, threaded rod 35 and conical plug 36 work together to form a structure. When in use, rotating part 34 is rotated to make a threaded connection on the outer side of threaded rod 35, which drives conical plug 36 to move. The size of air inlet 11 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Furthermore, the multi-layer stepped connector 2 and sealing gasket 21 can adapt to different sizes of air cutting sleeves, ensuring a good sealing effect.
[0040] Second Embodiment
[0041] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 Based on the first embodiment of this application which provides a gas-cutting sleeve plug, the second embodiment of this application proposes another gas-cutting sleeve plug. The second embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.
[0042] Specifically, the second embodiment of this application provides a gas cutting sleeve plug that differs in that the gas cutting sleeve plug has a film 4 fixedly installed on the outer side of the mounting plate 1, and a moving block 41 fixedly installed at both ends of the film 4.
[0043] A hook 42 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the movable block 41.
[0044] The working principle of the gas cutting sleeve plug provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0045] When using it, first attach the two hooks 42 to the buckles at both ends of the tracheostomy tube to secure the elastic band. For example, common tracheostomy tubes have buckles at both ends to secure the elastic band and prevent the tracheostomy tube from shifting. Attach the hooks 42 accurately to these buckles, and then insert the connector 2 into the inside of the tracheostomy tube. At this time, the elasticity of the film 4 can make the connector 2 fit more tightly against the tracheostomy tube. In actual use, even if the patient's body moves or vibrates, the elasticity of the film and the fixing effect of the hooks can ensure that the plug is stably installed on the tracheostomy tube, preventing the plug from loosening or falling off, and ensuring that the normal ventilation and occlusion functions of the airway are not affected.
[0046] Compared with related technologies, the gas cutting sleeve plug provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0047] The combination of hook 42 and film 4 further enhances the stability of the cap installation, effectively preventing the cap from shifting during use and improving the safety and reliability of use.
[0048] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
