[0013] Preferably, a gripping part is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder near the tail end, and the scale is arranged around the outer peripheral surface of the gripping part.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides an anal dilator, which, compared with the prior art, has at least the following technical effects: 1. By rotating the telescopic rod relative to the cylinder through the knob, the telescopic rod can be extended or retracted relative to the cylinder, thereby enabling the angle to change at the connection between the first and second connecting rods, so that the dilator plates move outward relative to the cylinder to expand or move closer to contract; and a flexible sleeve is fitted over all the dilator plates, which can protect the patient's skin and prevent the dilator plates from pinching the patient's skin when contracting. In addition, the knob has or the circumference of the cylinder tail has scale lines or indicator arrows, which makes it convenient for medical staff to determine the current dilator plate expansion size.
[0015] 2. By fitting the connecting ring into the limiting groove, the connecting ring can rotate relative to the telescopic rod. A clearance groove is provided on the cylinder. In this way, when the telescopic rod rotates, the connecting ring can be fixed relative to the cylinder in the circumferential direction and can only move longitudinally relative to the cylinder. This drives the first connecting rod to move longitudinally relative to the cylinder, thereby changing the angle of the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod, and thus realizing the expansion or contraction of the expansion plate.
[0016] 3. The connecting ring is provided with a hinge part on its circumference, and a clearance groove is provided at the corresponding position on the circumference of the cylinder. This can play a limiting and guiding role for the junction, that is, guide the movement of the connecting ring and limit the rotation of the connecting ring.

[0017] 4. The connecting ring, the first connecting rod, and the second connecting rod are in two sets, so that each expansion plate has two support points, which can keep it parallel to the axis of the cylinder when expanding or contracting.
[0018] 5. The tail of the telescopic rod is provided with a limiting protrusion, and the inner circumferential surface of the knob is provided with a guide groove. The limiting protrusion is placed in the guide groove, which can drive the telescopic rod to rotate and move the telescopic rod relative to the knob along the axis. The axial dimension of the guide groove is much larger than the axial dimension of the limiting protrusion, leaving enough space for its movement.
[0019] 6. The inner circumferential surface of the knob head is provided with an annular connecting groove, and the outer circumferential surface of the tail of the cylinder is provided with a protruding ring. The protruding ring is installed in the connecting groove to facilitate rotating the knob to the tail of the cylinder.
[0020] 7. The expansion piece has three pieces, and after expansion, the overall shape is closer to a circle, and the expansion effect is better.
[0021] 8. The tail of the cylinder has a grip for easy operation of the knob to control the expansion or contraction of the expansion plate. Attached Figure Description

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 10A rectal dilator includes a cylindrical body 1 and a telescopic rod 2. The telescopic rod 2 is installed in the cylindrical body 1 and connected to a knob 3. The knob 3 is circumferentially limited by the telescopic rod 2 and is rotatably mounted at the tail end of the cylindrical body 1. Multiple expanding plates 4 are arranged around the outer periphery of the head of the cylindrical body 1, and a flexible sleeve 7 is commonly fitted over the multiple expanding plates 4. A first connecting rod 5 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the expanding plate 4 to hinge the telescopic rod 2. The cylinder 1 is hinged by a second connecting rod 6; the outer circumferential surface of the telescopic rod 2 is threaded, and the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 1 is threaded in a matching manner; the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 1 near the knob 3 has a scale line 9, and the outer circumferential surface of the knob 3 has an indicator arrow 10, or the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 1 near the knob 3 has an indicator arrow 10, and the outer circumferential surface of the knob 3 has a scale line 9, used to indicate the current expansion size of the expansion piece 4. By rotating the telescopic rod 2 relative to the cylinder 1 through the knob 3, the telescopic rod 2 can be extended or retracted relative to the cylinder 1, resulting in an angle change, causing the expansion piece 4 to move outward or retract relative to the cylinder 1; and a flexible sleeve 7 is fitted over all the expansion pieces 4 to protect the patient's skin and prevent the expansion piece 4 from pinching the patient's skin when it retracts, and the scale line 9 or indicator arrow 10 on the knob 3 or the circumferential surface of the tail of the cylinder 1 facilitate medical staff to determine the current expansion size of the expansion piece 4. Anal dilation therapy involves gradually widening the patient's narrow anus. For example, if the anus is widened by 1 cm today, the knob can be rotated to widen it to 1.5 cm tomorrow. At this point, the indicator arrow should be aligned with the 1.5 cm mark. This process is repeated to gradually widen the anus to the specified size. Setting a scale mark allows both the patient and medical staff to visually see the current dilation level, which can increase their confidence.
[0036] Please see Figures 1 to 8 Preferably, the telescopic rod 2 is provided with a connector, and the first connecting rod 5 and the connector are provided with a clearance groove 11 at the position opposite to the connector on the cylinder 1, so as to facilitate the connection between the connector and the first connecting rod 5. The connector is a connecting ring 8, and the telescopic rod 2 has an annular limiting groove 21 on its circumferential surface, and the connecting ring 8 is sleeved in the limiting groove 21. By the connecting ring 8 being sleeved in the limiting groove 21, the connecting ring 8 can rotate relative to the telescopic rod 2, and the clearance groove 11 on the cylinder 1 allows the connecting ring 8 to be fixed relative to the cylinder 1 in the circumferential direction when the telescopic rod 2 rotates, and can only move longitudinally relative to the cylinder 1, thereby driving the first connecting rod 5 to move longitudinally relative to the cylinder 1, so as to change the angle of the first connecting rod 5 and the second connecting rod 6, thereby realizing the expansion or contraction of the expansion piece 4.
[0037] Please see Figures 1 to 10Preferably, a plurality of first hinge portions 81 are arranged in annular array on the outer circumferential surface of the connecting ring 8. The width of the relief groove 11 matches the width of the hinge portion. The first hinge portion 81 extends out of the relief groove 11. One end of the first connecting rod 5 is hinged to the first hinge portion 81. The axis of the relief groove 11 is parallel to the axis of the telescopic rod 2. A second hinge portion 41 is provided on the inner circumferential surface of the expansion plate 4. The other end of the first connecting rod 5 is connected to the second hinge portion 41. One end of the second connecting rod 6 is hinged to the second hinge portion 41. A third hinge portion 12 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 1 at a specified distance from the relief groove 11. The third hinge portion 12 is connected to the other end of the second connecting rod 6. The connecting ring 8 has a hinged part on its circumference, and the cylinder 1 has a relief groove 11 at the corresponding position on its circumference. This groove can limit and guide the connection part, that is, guide the movement of the connecting ring 8 and restrict the rotation of the connecting ring 8. When the connecting ring approaches or moves away from the third hinged part 12 on the cylinder 1, the ends of the expansion plates 4 of the first connecting rod 5 and the second connecting rod 6 that are far apart can move closer or further apart, thus expanding or contracting the expansion plates 4.
[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 10 Preferably, the telescopic rod 2 has two axially spaced limiting grooves 21 on its circumferential surface, and each of the expanding plates 4 has two axially spaced second hinge portions 41 on its inner circumferential surface. The third hinge portions 12 are spaced two on the outer circumferential surface of the cylinder 1 in the same straight line direction parallel to the axis of the cylinder 1. The connecting ring 8, the first connecting rod 5, and the second connecting rod 6 are in two sets, so that each expanding plate 4 has two support points, thus maintaining parallelism with the axis of the cylinder 1 during expansion or contraction.
[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 10 Preferably, the telescopic rod 2 has a limiting protrusion 22 on its tail circumference, the knob 3 is cylindrical, and the inner circumference of the knob 3 has an axial guide groove 31. The limiting protrusion 22 is located in the guide groove 31 and can move along the guide groove 31. With the limiting protrusion 22 at the tail of the telescopic rod 2 and the guide groove 31 on the inner circumference of the knob 3, the limiting protrusion 22 can be positioned in the guide groove 31 to drive the telescopic rod 2 to rotate and move axially relative to the knob 3. The axial dimension of the guide groove 31 is much larger than the axial dimension of the limiting protrusion 22, providing sufficient space for its movement.
[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 4 Preferably, the end of the knob 3 is equipped with a retaining ring to prevent the telescopic rod 2 from coming off.
[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 Preferably, the inner circumferential surface of the head of the knob 3 is provided with an annular connecting groove 32, and the outer circumferential surface of the tail of the cylinder 1 is provided with a protruding ring 13. The protruding ring 13 is installed in the connecting groove 32 to guide the rotation of the knob 3. This facilitates the rotation of the knob 3 to the tail of the cylinder 1. Alternatively, the outer circumference of the head of the knob 3 is provided with an annular protruding ring 13, and the outer circumferential surface of the tail of the cylinder 1 is provided with an annular connecting groove 32. The protruding ring 13 is installed in the connecting groove 32 to guide the rotation of the knob 3. This facilitates the rotation of the knob 3 to the tail of the cylinder 1.
[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 7 Preferably, the expanding piece 4 has three pieces, each of which is arc-shaped. When the three expanding pieces 4 are in the contracted state, the sides of adjacent expanding pieces 4 are connected, forming a cylindrical shape; when the three expanding pieces 4 are in the expanded state, the sides of adjacent expanding pieces 4 are spaced apart. After expansion, the overall shape is closer to a circle, and the expansion effect is better.
[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 Preferably, a gripping part 14 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder 1 near the tail end, and the scale is arranged around the outer peripheral surface of the gripping part 14. This facilitates the operation of the knob 3 to control the expansion plate 4 to expand or contract.
[0044] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0045] Place the anal dilator in the designated position, then grasp the grip part 14 with one hand and hold the knob 3 with the other hand to rotate it, which in turn rotates the telescopic rod 2, causing the telescopic rod 2 to move relative to the cylinder 1 towards the tail of the cylinder 1. This causes the connecting ring 8 on the telescopic rod 2 to move towards the tail of the cylinder 1, bringing the first hinge part 81 closer to the second hinge part 41. This reduces the angle between the first connecting rod 5 and the second connecting rod 6, pushing the dilator plate 4 outward. The indicator arrow 10 on the knob 3 is currently aligned with the scale line 9, which indicates the current dilution size of the dilator plate 4, allowing medical staff to accurately know the current dilution size and ensuring accurate operation. When it is necessary to shrink and withdraw the anal dilator, rotate the knob 3 in the opposite direction. Moreover, due to the flexible sleeve 7, the flexible sleeve 7 expands and shrinks along with the dilator plate 4, always wrapping around the dilator plate 4. This prevents the patient's skin from entering the gap between the dilator plates 4 when the dilator plate 4 shrinks and returns to its original position, thus protecting the patient.
