Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical auxiliary device technology, specifically to an otolaryngology irrigation device. Background Technology

[0002] In otolaryngology clinical treatment, irrigation is an extremely common and important treatment method, widely used in the treatment and nursing process of a variety of diseases.

[0003] The existing technology authorization announcement number CN218420548U patent document provides an otolaryngology irrigation device, which solves the problem that the irrigation head of the existing irrigation device is not easy to replace.

[0004] However, existing ENT irrigation devices are not convenient for medical staff to precisely control the temperature of the irrigation solution. This often results in significant temperature fluctuations during the irrigation process. When the temperature is too high, it can easily burn the delicate ear, nose, and throat mucosa, causing redness, swelling, and pain, and may even cause irreversible damage. This not only increases patient suffering but may also affect the subsequent treatment process, leading to a prolonged illness. If the temperature is too low, it can stimulate a sharp contraction of blood vessels in the mucosa, especially during nasal and ear irrigation, which may cause strong discomfort to the patient, such as nasal soreness and ear dizziness. Furthermore, it reduces the cleaning and therapeutic effects of the irrigation solution because a low-temperature environment is not conducive to the activity of certain auxiliary agents, making it impossible to effectively dissolve and remove secretions and bacteria. In addition, due to the lack of precise temperature control, medical staff find it difficult to adjust the temperature of the irrigation solution according to the individual differences and conditions of different patients. For example, children, the elderly, and patients with special diseases (such as diabetes, whose peripheral nerves are not sensitive to temperature) have different tolerance to the temperature of the irrigation solution than normal people. However, existing devices are inconvenient to meet these special needs, which seriously restricts the effectiveness and safety of irrigation therapy. Utility Model Content

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.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This utility model provides a technical solution: an ENT irrigation device, including a liquid storage tank 1, a water storage tank 2 at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1, a heating sleeve 3 on the outside of the liquid storage tank 1, a heating element 4 inside the water storage tank 2, and a water pump 5 on the outer surface of the heating sleeve 3.

[0027] A water delivery pipe 6 is fixedly connected between the water pump 5 and the water storage tank 2. A heat exchange pipe 7 is installed inside the heating jacket 3. The end of the water pump 5 away from the water delivery pipe 6 is connected to the heat exchange pipe 7. An auxiliary mechanism 8 is installed above the liquid storage tank 1. A flushing mechanism 9 is installed on the outside of the liquid storage tank 1. When the heating element 4 is activated, it heats the water in the water storage tank 2. Under the power of the water pump 5, the hot water heated by the heating element 4 in the water storage tank 2 is pumped into the heat exchange pipe 7 inside the heating jacket 3 along the water delivery pipe 6. The heating jacket 3 tightly surrounds the outside of the liquid storage tank 1 to achieve the initial heating of the flushing fluid in the liquid storage tank 1. At the same time, the hot water flowing in the heat exchange pipe 7 fully exchanges heat with the flushing fluid in the liquid storage tank 1, further increasing the temperature of the flushing fluid to reach the appropriate temperature range for treatment.

[0028] The auxiliary mechanism 8 includes a cover 801, which is located on the upper surface of the liquid storage tank 1. A feed inlet 802 is provided on the upper surface of the cover 801. A drive motor 803 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper surface of the cover 801. The transmission end of the drive motor 803 passes through the cover 801 and is fixedly connected to a stirring shaft 804. An operation panel 805 is provided at the top of the cover 801 and is electrically connected to the heating element 4. A temperature sensor 806 is provided at the bottom of the cover 801 and is electrically connected to the operation panel 805. The rinsing mechanism 9 includes a rinsing pump 901, which is fixedly installed on one side of the liquid storage tank 1. A rinsing pipe 902 is fixedly connected to the side of the rinsing pump 901 away from the liquid storage tank 1. A detachable flushing head 903 is movably connected to one end of the flushing pump 901. A return water pipe 904 is fixedly connected between the heat exchange tube 7 and the water storage tank 2. A water inlet pipe 905 is provided on the upper surface of the water storage tank 2. A metal heat-conducting plate 906 is provided between the heating jacket 3 and the liquid storage tank 1. A pull rod 907 is provided on the outside of the liquid storage tank 1 above the water storage tank 2. During the preparation stage, medical staff first inject an appropriate amount of water into the water storage tank 2 through the water inlet pipe 905. This water will be heated later to regulate the temperature of the flushing fluid. At the same time, according to the specific treatment needs, medical staff open the feed port 802 on the tank cover 801 and add flushing fluid and various auxiliary agents into the liquid storage tank 1. After the auxiliary agents are added, the drive motor 803 in the middle of the upper surface of the tank cover 801 is started. The drive motor 803 rotates at high speed, causing the stirring shaft 804 to rotate rapidly within the storage tank 1. This ensures that the newly added auxiliary agents are quickly and evenly mixed with the flushing solution, maintaining a consistent composition. Next, medical staff operate the control panel 805, issuing a working command to the heating element 4. The water, after heat exchange, flows back to the storage tank 2 through the return pipe 904 for reheating and reuse. The temperature sensor 806 at the bottom of the tank cover 801 constantly monitors the temperature of the flushing solution in the storage tank 1 and feeds the real-time data back to the control panel 805. Based on the temperature data displayed on the control panel 805, medical staff precisely control the start and stop of the heating element 4 and the water pump 5, thereby achieving precise regulation of the flushing solution temperature. After completing the above preparations, medical staff turn on the flushing pump 901. The flushing pump 901 draws out the prepared and appropriately temperatured flushing solution from the reservoir 1 and delivers it through the flushing tube 902 to the detachable flushing head 903. Medical staff hold the detachable flushing head 903 and precisely aim it at the patient's ear, nose, and throat area, strictly following the treatment requirements to perform the flushing operation. During the flushing process, medical staff can flexibly adjust the power of the flushing pump 901 via the control panel 805 according to the actual situation, thereby precisely controlling the flow rate and pressure of the flushing solution to meet the treatment needs of different patients and different conditions. When it is necessary to move the device, medical staff only need to hold the lever 907 located on the outside of the reservoir 1 above the reservoir 2 to easily push the device and move it to the desired position.After treatment, the detachable rinsing head 903 can be easily removed for thorough cleaning and strict disinfection, in preparation for future use.

[0029] Working Principle: In the preparation stage, medical staff first inject an appropriate amount of water into the water storage tank 2 through the water inlet pipe 905. This water will be heated later to regulate the temperature of the flushing solution. Simultaneously, based on specific treatment needs, medical staff open the inlet 802 on the tank cover 801 and add the flushing solution and various auxiliary agents into the storage tank 1. After the auxiliary agents are added, the drive motor 803 located in the center of the upper surface of the tank cover 801 is activated. The transmission end of the drive motor 803 rotates at high speed, driving the stirring shaft 804 to rotate rapidly within the storage tank 1, ensuring that the newly added auxiliary agents are quickly and evenly mixed with the flushing solution, maintaining a consistent composition. Following this, the medical staff... The operator uses the control panel 805 to issue a working command to the heating element 4. The heating element 4 then starts, heating the water in the water storage tank 2. Under the power of the water pump 5, the hot water heated by the heating element 4 in the water storage tank 2 is pumped along the water pipe 6 into the heat exchange pipe 7 inside the heating jacket 3. The heating jacket 3 tightly surrounds the outside of the liquid storage tank 1. The metal heat-conducting plate 906 between the heating jacket 3 and the liquid storage tank 1 can efficiently transfer the heat generated by the heating jacket 3 to the liquid storage tank 1, realizing the initial heating of the flushing fluid in the liquid storage tank 1. At the same time, the hot water flowing in the heat exchange pipe 7 fully exchanges heat with the flushing fluid in the liquid storage tank 1, further increasing the temperature of the flushing fluid to reach the required level. Within the appropriate treatment temperature range, the water after heat exchange flows back to the storage tank 2 through the return water pipe 904 for reheating and reuse. The temperature sensor 806 at the bottom of the tank cover 801 constantly monitors the temperature of the flushing fluid in the storage tank 1 and feeds real-time data back to the operation panel 805. Medical staff precisely control the start and stop of the heating element 4 and the water pump 5 based on the temperature data displayed on the operation panel 805, thereby achieving precise control of the flushing fluid temperature. After completing the above preparations, medical staff turn on the flushing pump 901. The flushing pump 901 extracts the appropriately prepared and temperature-controlled flushing fluid from the storage tank 1 and delivers it through the flushing pipe 902 to the detachable flushing head 903. The medical staff holds the detachable rinsing head 903 and precisely aims it at the patient's ear, nose, and throat area, strictly following the treatment requirements to carry out the rinsing operation. During the rinsing process, the medical staff can flexibly adjust the power of the rinsing pump 901 through the control panel 805 according to the actual situation, thereby precisely controlling the flow and pressure of the rinsing fluid to meet the treatment needs of different patients and different conditions. When it is necessary to move the device, the medical staff only needs to hold the lever 907 located on the outside of the reservoir 1 above the reservoir 2 to easily push the device and move it to the required position. After the treatment, the detachable rinsing head 903 can be easily removed for thorough cleaning and strict disinfection for the next use.
