[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0017] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," and "right," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the combination or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this utility model, the positional relationships of devices such as "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," and "right" in all figures are based on... Figure 1 As the standard.

[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, the chest drainage tube includes a connector 40, an outer sheath 10 and an inner sheath 20 connected thereto, and an extension tube 30 connected to the inner sheath 20 via a connecting cap 50. At least one boss 41 and at least one snap-fit ​​connection part 51 are respectively provided on the top of the connector 40 and on the bottom of the connecting cap 50. The boss 41 and the snap-fit ​​connection part 51 engage to open or lock the connector 40 and the connecting cap 50. Furthermore, the connector 40 also has a connecting seat 42 located at the bottom of the boss 41. The connecting seat 42 has a limiting hole 43, in which a ball screw 44 is embedded. See details... Figure 6After the outer sleeve 10, inner sleeve 20, and extension tube 30 are assembled through the connector 40 and connecting cap 50, they form a channel for fluid injection, flushing, and drainage. In practice, first insert the snap-fit ​​connection part 51 on the connecting cap 50 into the connector 40, avoiding the boss 41. Then, gently press the ball screw 44, and rotate it in the "close" direction until the boss 41 aligns with the side of the snap-fit ​​connection part 51, thus completing the connection. The loosened ball screw 44 can then be used for limiting its movement, directly abutting against the side of the snap-fit ​​connection part 51. Gently press the ball screw 44, and then rotate the connecting cap 50 in the "open" direction to loosen the connection. The entire operation is simple, convenient, and easy. During use, the assembly and disassembly of the chest drainage tube are simple, convenient, and efficient. The boss 41, snap-fit ​​connection part 51, and ball screw 44 can be one or more. In the specific implementation process, the ball screw 44 embedded in the limiting hole 43 can be a POM press-fit ball plunger, which can be a finished part or a standard part, making it convenient for installation and subsequent maintenance.

[0019] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: A chest drainage tube is usually placed in the surgical area or body cavity and exits through a skin incision. It drains accumulated pus, exudate, tissue fluid and other fluids to the outside of the body through gravity, pressure and negative pressure suction, preventing fluid accumulation and postoperative infection.

[0020] Furthermore, it should be noted that the tip of the extension tube 30 includes a connector 31, which can be connected to a drainage bag, a negative pressure bulb, or other negative pressure source to form a complete flushing and drainage system. During the drainage process, fluid is precisely delivered to the surgical area or body cavity through the fluid delivery channel / fluid flushing cavity to soften and flush away necrotic tissue, blood clots, or bacteria, reducing infection and resolving blockage of the chest drainage tube.

[0021] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the buckle connection 51 has a retaining edge 52 on its side. The retaining edge 52 is used to cooperate with the side of the buckle connection 51 to limit its position and help to lock and fix it.

[0022] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connecting cover 50 is provided with rotation opening and closing direction indicator text and / or indicator arrows on the circumferential direction to clearly indicate the opening and closing direction of the connecting cover 50.

[0023] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, the connecting cover 50 is provided with a groove structure 54, and an I-shaped sealing ring 60 is placed in the groove structure 54. When the connecting cover is inserted into the connector, the I-shaped sealing ring 60 and the connector 40 are in an interference fit state. During operation, because the contact surface between the I-shaped sealing ring 60 and the groove structure 54 is large, the I-shaped sealing ring will not shift or flip. Therefore, this structural design can effectively prevent leakage.

[0024] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner wall of the outer sleeve 10 is provided with at least one flushing hole 11, and the connection between the connector 40 and the outer sleeve 10 is provided with a flushing transition cavity 46. Figure 2 As can be seen from the diagram, the flushing transition chamber 46 is connected to at least one flushing tube 47, and the flushing tube 47 is connected to the cap 45. In the specific implementation process, the outer tube 10 is inserted into a certain position in the flushing transition chamber 46, and after being sealed and assembled by the bonding process, a flushing / injection channel is formed. The connector 40 includes the flushing tube 47. When administering medication through the flushing tube 47, the medication can be temporarily collected at the flushing transition chamber 46, and then evenly and easily injected into the flushing hole 11 on the wall of the outer tube 10, reaching the head of the outer tube 10 and directly reaching the affected area, reducing the chance of infection at the affected area and shortening the course of the disease.

[0025] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the head end 12 of the outer tube 10 has a rounded open structure, which can avoid scratching human tissue and allow for thorough rinsing and drainage.

[0026] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the number of flushing holes 11 is 2-4, which can achieve a sufficient flushing effect.

[0027] In at least one embodiment, such as Figure 8 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, at least one drainage wall hole 13 is provided at the head end of the outer sleeve 10 and the inner sleeve 20 respectively. The drainage wall hole on the outer sleeve 10 and the open head end 12 can fully drain the accumulated liquid, which then enters the inner sleeve 20 through the drainage wall hole on the inner sleeve. Under the action of negative pressure or gravity, the side wall drainage is further enhanced, improving the drainage effect. Finally, it is drained to the outside of the body through the extension tube 30.

[0028] The embodiments disclosed herein are preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
