Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laryngeal mask testing technology, specifically a laryngeal mask bending resistance testing device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern medicine, the laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is a crucial device for establishing an artificial airway and is widely used in general anesthesia, emergency resuscitation, and other scenarios. Compared to traditional endotracheal intubation, the LMA offers advantages such as ease of operation and less patient stimulation. However, due to the physiological curves from the mouth to the pharynx, the LMA's main tube is highly susceptible to bending or flattening under external forces during insertion. For example, changes in patient position or the surgeon's manipulation during surgery can cause the LMA to bend. If the LMA's resistance to bending is poor, the lumen may deform, affecting ventilation and, in severe cases, even obstructing the airway, posing a significant risk of suffocation and endangering the patient's life. Therefore, the LMA must undergo bending resistance testing to ensure functional stability in complex clinical settings.
[0003] Existing laryngeal mask airway (LMA) bending resistance testing instruments are equipped with multiple bending clamping stations, allowing simultaneous testing of the bending resistance of LMAs of different specifications. However, the degree of bending is mostly designed with fixed parameters. The bending angle and radius of curvature are fixed and cannot be continuously or steppedly adjusted according to testing requirements. This design means that the equipment can only evaluate the performance of the LMA under specific bending conditions, making it difficult to simulate the full range of stress scenarios in clinical settings, from slight bending to extreme bending. Therefore, a new LMA bending resistance testing device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a laryngeal mask bending resistance testing device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a laryngeal mask bending resistance testing device, comprising a testing instrument, the top of which is provided with multiple fixing mechanisms, each fixing mechanism comprising two sets of slide rails, each set consisting of two slide rails arranged symmetrically front and back, a slider being slidably connected inside the slide rail, a telescopic rod being fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the slider, and arc-shaped clamps being fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the opposing movable ends of the two telescopic rods, two fixing blocks being fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the testing instrument, and a rotating shaft passing through the two fixing blocks, one set of slide rails being fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating shaft, the outer surface of the rotating shaft having threaded teeth, and a wing nut being threaded onto the outer surface of the threaded teeth, the wing nut abutting against the surface of the fixing block.
[0006] Furthermore, the telescopic rod includes a fixed rod and a movable rod. The movable rod is movably inserted inside the fixed rod. The outer surface of the movable rod has multiple positioning holes arranged in a linear array. A positioning rod is movably inserted into the outer surface of the fixed rod. A pull plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the positioning rod. A spring is fixedly connected between the pull plate and the fixed rod. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod. The other end of the positioning rod is movably inserted into one of the positioning holes.
[0007] Furthermore, the outer surfaces of both the slider and the slide rail are provided with limiting holes. The limiting holes on the surface of the slide rail are a plurality of holes arranged in a linear array. The slider and the slide rail are internally threaded with bolts in the corresponding limiting holes, and the outer surface of the bolts is fixedly connected with knobs.
[0008] Furthermore, a support block is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the tester at the center of the two sets of slide rails, and a tray is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the support block.
[0009] Furthermore, two elastic bands are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both the front and rear sides of the tray, and the surfaces of the two elastic bands are respectively provided with a hook and loop surface and a hook and loop barbed surface.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner curvature of the arc-shaped clamps within the multiple fixing mechanisms is inconsistent.
[0012] Furthermore, a washer is provided between the wing nut and the fixing block.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. The laryngeal mask bending performance testing device uses two sets of arc-shaped clamps to hold both ends of the laryngeal mask. By unscrewing the wing nuts, a set of slide rails drives the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0015] 2. The laryngeal mask bending resistance testing device, by pulling the pull plate, causes the positioning rod to disengage from the inside of the positioning hole, releases the limit between the fixed rod and the movable rod, adjusts the position of the movable rod inside the fixed rod, adjusts the height of the arc-shaped clamp, thereby adjusting the axis of the arc-shaped clamp, so that the axis of the arc-shaped clamp and the axis of the laryngeal mask are located on the same axis.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please refer to the following: Figures 1-7This utility model provides a technical solution: a laryngeal mask bending resistance testing device, including a testing instrument 1. The top of the testing instrument 1 is equipped with multiple fixing mechanisms, each including two sets of slide rails 2, each set consisting of two slide rails arranged symmetrically front and back. A slider 3 is slidably connected inside each slide rail 2. A telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of each slider 3. Arc-shaped clamps 6 are fixedly connected to the opposite outer surfaces of the movable ends of the two telescopic rods. Two fixing blocks 7 are fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the testing instrument 1, and a rotating shaft 8 passes through the two fixing blocks 7. One set of slide rails 2 is fixed... A wing nut 10 is fitted onto the outer surface of the rotating shaft 8, and the outer surface of the rotating shaft 8 has a threaded tooth 9. The wing nut 10 is threaded onto the outer surface of the threaded tooth 9. The wing nut 10 abuts against the surface of the fixing block 7. Specifically, by loosening the wing nut 10 through the arc-shaped clamp 6, the wing nut 10 is loosened from the fixing block 7, reducing the friction between the wing nut 10 and the fixing block 7, so that the rotating shaft 8 can rotate. This adjusts the angle of another set of sliders 3, causing one end of the laryngeal mask to rotate, thereby bending the laryngeal mask for a bending test.
[0026] The measuring instrument is equipped with a high-precision electronic flow meter to measure gas flow in real time, a built-in high-precision differential pressure sensor to measure the pressure difference before and after bending the laryngeal mask sample in real time, thereby calculating the pressure drop, a gas pressure regulating valve to adjust and maintain the stable inlet pressure, a gas temperature flow regulating valve to adjust and maintain the stable inlet flow, PLC control, a 7-inch industrial-grade touch screen operation, and a micro printer to directly print test reports.
[0027] Furthermore, the telescopic rod includes a fixed rod 4 and a movable rod 5. The movable rod 5 is movably inserted inside the fixed rod 4. The outer surface of the movable rod 5 has multiple positioning holes 13 arranged in a linear array. The outer surface of the fixed rod 4 is movably inserted with a positioning rod 14. A pull plate is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the positioning rod 14. A spring 15 is fixedly connected between the pull plate and the fixed rod 4. The spring 15 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning rod 14. The other end of the positioning rod 14 is movably inserted inside one of the positioning holes 13. Specifically, by pulling the pull plate, the pull plate drives the positioning rod 14 to move, causing the positioning rod 14 to disengage from the inside of the positioning hole 13, adjusting the position of the movable rod 5 inside the fixed rod 4, thereby adjusting the height of the arc-shaped clamp 6, so that the arc-shaped clamp 6 and the laryngeal mask tube maintain the same axis.
[0028] Furthermore, limit holes 11 are provided on the outer surfaces of both the slider 3 and the slide rail 2. There are several limit holes 11 on the surface of the slide rail 2 arranged in a linear array. The slider 3 and the slide rail 2 are connected to the limit holes 11 with internal threads. A knob 12 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the bolt. Specifically, by rotating the knob 12, the bolt is rotated, causing the bolt to disengage from the inside of the limit hole 11, thereby releasing the limit on the slider 3 and the slide rail 2. Then, the position of the slider 3 in the slide rail 2 is adjusted so that the position between the two arc-shaped clamps 6 meets the requirements of throat masks of different diameters.
[0029] Furthermore, a support block 16 is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the tester 1 at the center of the two sets of slide rails 2, and a tray 17 is fixedly connected to the top outer surface of the support block 16. Specifically, the laryngeal mask is placed on the tray 17, and the tray 17 supports the laryngeal mask.
[0030] Furthermore, two elastic bands 18 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both the front and rear sides of the tray 17. The surfaces of the two elastic bands 18 are respectively provided with a hook and loop fastener and a hook and loop serrated fastener. Specifically, the laryngeal mask airway is placed on the tray 17, and the two elastic bands 18 are fixed by the hook and loop fastener and the hook and loop serrated fastener. Thus, the laryngeal mask airway is fixed on the tray 17 by the two elastic bands 18. When the laryngeal tube bends, the laryngeal tube itself bends around the fixed point of the edge of the tray 17.
[0031] Furthermore, a medical silicone pad is provided on the outer surface of the arc-shaped clamp 6. The surface of the medical silicone pad is frosted. Specifically, by providing a medical silicone pad and frosting its surface, both the deformation of the catheter caused by rigid clamping is avoided, and the clamping stability is enhanced by friction.
[0032] Furthermore, the inner curvature of the arc-shaped clamps 6 in the multiple fixing mechanisms is not consistent, specifically, so that the inner curvature of the arc-shaped clamps 6 matches the diameter and radius of curvature of common laryngeal mask tubes.
[0033] Furthermore, a washer is provided between the wing nut 10 and the fixing block 7. Specifically, by providing a washer between the wing nut 10 and the fixing block 7, the friction between the wing nut 10 and the fixing block 7 is increased.
[0034] Working principle: In use, the laryngeal mask to be tested is fixed. During fixing, the corresponding arc-shaped clamp 6 is selected according to the outer contour of the laryngeal mask. The two arc-shaped clamps 6 clamp the laryngeal mask tube. By loosening the knob 12, the bolt is released from the inside of the slider 3, and the limit between the slider 3 and the slide rail 2 is released, allowing the slider 3 to slide inside the slide rail 2. This adjusts the distance between the two arc-shaped clamps 6 to accommodate laryngeal masks of different diameters. Then, by screwing the bolt into the corresponding limiting hole 11, the slider 3 and the slide rail 2 are limited. During measurement, by loosening the wing nut 10, the wing nut 10 is released from the fixing block 7, reducing the friction between the wing nut 10 and the fixing block 7, allowing the rotating shaft 8 to rotate. This adjusts the angle of the other set of sliders 3, causing one end of the laryngeal mask to rotate, thus bending the laryngeal mask for bending test.
