Description

A painless gastrointestinal endoscopy positioning device Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical auxiliary devices, specifically a painless gastrointestinal endoscopy positioning device. Background Technology

[0002] Painless gastrointestinal endoscopy positioning devices are auxiliary equipment used during gastrointestinal endoscopy to help patients maintain a suitable position. Gastrointestinal endoscopy usually requires patients to be in a specific position so that doctors can clearly observe the inside of the gastrointestinal tract and make diagnoses or treatments. However, existing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy positioning devices still have certain defects in use. During use, the patient is only fixed with a restraint belt, and the overall restraint is unstable. Therefore, the patient may unconsciously change position during the examination, causing the lens to not accurately reach the predetermined area, thus affecting the accuracy of the examination results. It also increases the difficulty of operation for doctors and affects the efficiency and quality of the examination.

[0003] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, prior art 1 (Chinese patent application number 202321548656.8, application date 2023-06-17) discloses an adjustable thoracic surgical positioning device, relating to the field of medical device technology. It includes a main board, with a fixing mechanism and a rotating mechanism disposed above the main board. The fixing mechanism includes two slide rods fixedly connected to the outer surface of the main board. A slider is disposed above the main board, and the inner wall of the slider is threadedly connected to two symmetrical first threaded rods. A movable plate is rotatably connected to the outer surface of each of the two first threaded rods. Through the mutual cooperation between the main board, slide rods, slider, first threaded rods, movable plate, and connecting column, it can effectively fix patients of different body types and surgical positions, avoiding the need to constantly adjust the patient's position during fixation. This effectively improves the patient's comfort during postoperative fixation and is beneficial to the patient's recovery. There is also prior art 2 (…). Chinese Patent Application No. 202322738876.3, filed on 2023-10-12, describes an adjustable thoracic surgical positioning device belonging to the field of medical device technology. It includes two sets of fixed side plates and a connecting cloth. Each fixed side plate has several anti-slip components at its bottom. A pressure plate is located on the facing side of the two fixed side plates. Two connecting side plates are located on the top of the fixed side plates. A rotating plate is connected to one end of the top of each connecting side plate. A transmission frame is located on the end of the rotating plate away from the connecting side plates. A locking rod is located on the end of the transmission frame connected to the rotating plate. Each of the two rotating plates has a fixing tube on its facing side. Movable inserts are located on the fixing tubes, and magnetic plates are located on the movable inserts. Several locking slots are located on the locking rod. Two universal ball joints are located on the end of the transmission frame away from the locking rod. Through the combined use of the connecting cloth and fixed side plates, the overall size of the device can be effectively reduced, facilitating transport and use.

[0004] While existing technologies can improve the stability of fixation, the mechanical structure used to clamp the patient with symmetrically arranged clamping plates on both sides during operation creates significant local pressure on the patient's body, leading to discomfort during the examination. Furthermore, the patient's arm being fixed to the side of the body is unsuitable for gastroscopy and colonoscopy, increasing the difficulty of the procedure. Prolonged fixation to the side can cause muscle tension, requiring additional care to alleviate muscle fatigue and complicating post-procedure procedures. To address these issues, there is an urgent need for innovative design based on existing painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy positioning devices. Therefore, we have proposed a painless gastroscopy and colonoscopy positioning device that effectively solves these problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a painless gastrointestinal endoscopy positioning device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Currently, the mechanical structure used to clamp the patient with symmetrically arranged clamping plates on both sides creates significant local pressure on the patient's body, causing discomfort during the examination. Furthermore, the patient's arm is fixed to the side of the body, which is not suitable for gastrointestinal endoscopy, increasing the difficulty of the examination. Prolonged fixation to the side of the body may lead to muscle tension, thus requiring additional care to relieve muscle fatigue and increasing the complexity of the subsequent procedures.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a painless gastrointestinal endoscopy positioning device, comprising a first fixing seat, a limiting component on the side of the first fixing seat, a first support seat connected to the first fixing seat via a first driving component, a first protective sheet and a second protective sheet on the first support seat, Velcro straps on opposite sides of the first and second protective sheets, an arc-shaped block mounted on the first support seat, a first airbag inside the first support seat, the first airbag being mounted at the bottom of the arc-shaped block, the first airbag being connected to a second airbag in a storage box, and the storage box being mounted on both sides of the arc-shaped block.

[0007] Preferably, the limiting component includes a fixing block installed on the side end of the first fixing seat, and a clamping member is connected to the fixing block via a rotating shaft.

[0008] Preferably, the first drive assembly includes a rotating component mounted on the side of the first fixed base, and the output end of the rotating component is connected to a first threaded rod through the drive component.

[0009] Preferably, a first guide rod is connected through the first support base, the first threaded rod is installed inside the first storage slot, and the first storage slot is symmetrically opened on the first fixed base.

[0010] Preferably, a second fixed seat is connected to the end of the first fixed seat, and a second drive assembly is installed on the second fixed seat. The second drive assembly includes a motor installed on the side of the second fixed seat, and a second threaded rod is connected to the output end of the motor. The second threaded rod is installed inside the second storage slot, and the second storage slot is opened on the second fixed seat.

[0011] Preferably, a movable block is installed on the outside of the second threaded rod, a second guide rod is connected through the inside of the movable block, a second support seat is installed on the movable block, a limit band is installed on the second support seat, and a first through hole and a second through hole are opened on the second support seat.

[0012] Preferably, the second support base has blades installed inside, and the output end of the blades is connected to a rotating shaft. The rotating shafts are symmetrically arranged and connected by a conveyor belt. A squeezing ball is installed on the conveyor belt, and the squeezing ball contacts the massage component after moving.

[0013] Preferably, the massage component includes a limiting plate disposed inside the second through hole, a lifting member being connected through the limiting plate, the lifting member being in contact with the moved squeezing ball, a spring being sleeved on the outside of the lifting member, a lifting ball being installed on the top of the lifting member, and a first magnetic block being installed on the conveyor belt, the first magnetic block being adapted to a second magnetic block at the bottom of the lifting member.

[0014] Preferably, a conveyor is installed on the side end of the second fixed seat, and the conveyor is connected to the inside of the second support seat through a conveying pipe, the end of which is located at the blade side end.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The first support seat of this painless gastrointestinal endoscopy positioning device is easily adjustable, effectively reducing the burden on the head and minimizing the need for additional post-operative care. The second air bladder inside the storage box inflates to conveniently limit the patient's neck position, further enhancing the stability of the support and ensuring the patient's head remains in a comfortable position. This reduces the increased difficulty of the examination caused by the patient's head tilting upwards. The specific details are as follows:

[0016] (1) The first support seat is easy to adjust the position, effectively reducing the burden on the head and reducing the need for post-care, which increases the processing procedures. The second airbag in the storage box inflates to limit the side of the patient's neck, reducing the difficulty of examination caused by the patient's head turning upward.

[0017] (2) The motor output end of the second drive assembly drives the second threaded rod to rotate inside the second storage slot, so that the moving block moves with the cooperation of the second guide rod, providing just the right support for the legs, making it convenient to restrict the legs later;

[0018] (3) The limiting band on the second support seat is quickly limited by buckles and blocks, thereby restricting the patient's legs. The first through hole on the second support seat facilitates ventilation, keeping the patient's leg skin dry at all times and greatly improving the overall support comfort.

[0019] (4) The gas inside the second support generates airflow, causing the blades to rotate. This not only improves the overall airflow efficiency, but also drives the rotating shaft to rotate, making it convenient for the rotating shaft to drive the conveyor belt for transport and for driving the massage components to be used.

[0020] (5) The lifting ball of the massage component squeezes the leg to massage, thereby squeezing the patient's leg muscles, promoting blood circulation, and reducing the discomfort caused by the patient's legs being restricted for a long time. The lifting operation is carried out by the cooperation of the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block, which further enhances the massage effect. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Example 1: In this example, to improve patient comfort, a first support seat 9 is used to reduce muscle tension that may result from prolonged close contact with the body. As shown in Figures 1-5, this technical solution includes a first fixation seat 1 with a limiting component on its side. A first support seat 9 is connected to the first fixation seat 1 via a first driving component. A first protective sheet 11 and a second protective sheet 12 are mounted on the first support seat 9, with Velcro straps on opposite sides of the first and second protective sheets 11 and 12. An arc-shaped block 13 is mounted on the first support seat 9, and a first airbag 14 is installed inside the first support seat 9 and mounted on the arc-shaped block 13. At the bottom, the first airbag 14 is connected to the second airbag 15 of the storage box 16. The storage box 16 is installed on both sides of the arc-shaped block 13. The limiting component includes a fixing block 2 installed on the side of the first fixing seat 1. A clamping member 4 is connected to the fixing block 2 via a rotating shaft 3. The first driving component includes a rotating member 5 installed on the side of the first fixing seat 1. The output end of the rotating member 5 is connected to a first threaded rod 7 via a driving member 6. The first threaded rod 7 is connected through the inside of the first support seat 9. A first guide rod 10 is connected through the inside of the first support seat 9. The first threaded rod 7 is installed inside the first storage slot 8. The first storage slot 8 is symmetrically opened on the first fixing seat 1. The first fixing seat 1 is conveniently placed on the upper end of the patient support device and is connected via the clamping member. 4. Limiting operation is performed. The clamping part 4 is designed to rotate easily on the side of the fixed block 2 via the rotating shaft 3. This allows the clamping part 4 to be effectively adjusted according to the actual shape and size of different patient support devices, ensuring the stability of the device installation and avoiding the risk of displacement during use. This lays the foundation for subsequent precise support. The device is easy to carry and install. The position of the first support seat 9 is adjusted according to the patient's condition. The rotating part 5 drives the driving part 6, which in turn drives the first threaded rod 7 to rotate inside the first placement groove 8. This allows the first support seat 9 to move in cooperation with the first guide rod 10, making it easy to adjust the position of the first support seat 9 and conveniently limit and fix the patient's neck, improving... The comfort level not only facilitates gastroscopy and colonoscopy but also reduces the need for post-operative care, thus minimizing the increased procedures. The patient places their neck on the arc-shaped block 13 of the first support 9, which is restricted by the cooperation of the first protective plate 11 and the second protective plate 12 to prevent neck movement and related inconvenience. The weight of the head compresses the first air bladder 14 at the bottom of the arc-shaped block 13, causing the arc-shaped block 13 to deform. This allows the gas inside the first air bladder 14 to be transferred to the second air bladder 15, causing the second air bladder 15 inside the storage box 16 to inflate. This facilitates the restriction of the side of the patient's neck, further enhancing the stability of the support and keeping the patient's neck in a comfortable position. This reduces the increased difficulty of the examination caused by the patient's head tilting upwards.

[0034] Example 2: In this example, the second support seat 23 on the second drive assembly is easily adjustable according to the patient's leg condition, providing just the right support for the leg. Specifically, as shown in Figures 6-8, the first fixed seat 1 is connected to a second fixed seat 17 at one end. A second drive assembly is mounted on the second fixed seat 17. The second drive assembly includes a motor 18 mounted on the side of the second fixed seat 17. The output end of the motor 18 is connected to a second threaded rod 19, which is installed inside a second storage slot 20. The second storage slot 20 is located on the second fixed seat 17. A moving block 21 is mounted on the outside of the second threaded rod 19. A second guide rod 22 is connected through the moving block 21. A second support seat 23 is mounted on the moving block 21. A limit band 24 is mounted on the second support seat 23. A first through hole 25 and a second through hole 26 are provided on the second support seat 23. The second fixed seat 17 facilitates support for the patient's leg. When the motor 18 is turned on, the motor 18 outputs... The end drives the second threaded rod 19 to rotate inside the second placement slot 20, causing the moving block 21 to move in cooperation with the second guide rod 22. This allows for effective adjustment according to the patient's leg condition, providing just the right support for the leg. The second support seat 23 facilitates support for the patient's leg, and the limiting band 24 uses buckles and blocks for quick limiting, thus restricting the patient's leg. Simple operation can firmly fix the patient's leg, preventing leg shaking from affecting the treatment effect. The whole system fixes the patient in a standard position, facilitating the examination. The first through hole 25 on the second support seat 23 facilitates ventilation, effectively promoting air circulation and keeping the patient's leg skin dry at all times, greatly improving the overall support comfort. The overall support allows the patient to be fixed in a standard position throughout the gastroscopy and colonoscopy examination without moving, which is conducive to the rapid completion of the endoscopic operation, reducing discomfort such as abdominal distension and pain, and freeing up the assistant to press the abdomen to assist in the advancement of the endoscope.

[0035] Example 3:

[0036] In this embodiment, to reduce the overall driving cost, the blades 27 drive the rotating shaft 28. This aims to reduce the increased cost caused by having too many driving structures. Specifically, as shown in Figures 6-10, the blades 27 are installed inside the second support base 23, and the output end of the blades 27 is connected to the rotating shaft 28. The rotating shafts 28 are symmetrically arranged and connected via a conveyor belt 29. A compression ball 30 is installed on the conveyor belt 29. After moving, the compression ball 30 contacts the massage component. The massage component includes a limiting plate 34 disposed inside the second through hole 26. An internal lifting component 31 is connected, and the lifting component 31 contacts the moved extrusion ball 30. A spring 32 is sleeved on the outside of the lifting component 31, and a lifting ball 33 is installed on the top of the lifting component 31. A first magnetic block 35 is installed on the conveyor belt 29, and the first magnetic block 35 is adapted to the second magnetic block 36 at the bottom of the lifting component 31. A conveyor 37 is installed on the side of the second fixed seat 17. The conveyor 37 is connected to the inside of the second support seat 23 through a conveying pipe 38. The end of the conveying pipe 38 is located at the side of the blade 27. When the conveyor 37 is opened, gas is conveyed to the inside of the second support seat 23 through the conveying pipe 38. At this time, the second The airflow generated inside the support base 23 causes the blades 27 to rotate, which not only improves the overall air circulation efficiency but also drives the rotating shaft 28 to rotate. This facilitates the rotating shaft 28 to drive the conveyor belt 29 for transport, reducing the cost increase caused by setting up more drive structures. At this time, the extrusion ball 30 on the conveyor belt 29 extrudes the lifting component 31 inside the second through hole 26, causing the lifting component 31 to move on the limiting plate 34. This, in turn, causes the lifting ball 33 to rise and fall inside the second through hole 26, allowing the lifting ball 33 to massage the leg, thereby squeezing the patient's leg muscles, promoting blood circulation, and reducing... To reduce discomfort caused by prolonged leg restriction, the lifting component 31 is equipped with a spring 32 on its outer side. This allows the compression ball 30 to rebound when it leaves the surface of the lifting component 31, thus restoring the lifting component 31 to its initial position. Since the second magnetic block 36 at the bottom of the lifting component 31 is compatible with the first magnetic block 35 on the conveyor belt 29, it is not only convenient to move the lifting component 31 by the compression ball 30, but also to perform lifting operations through the cooperation of the first magnetic block 35 and the second magnetic block 36. The additional magnetic-assisted lifting operation further enhances the massage effect and improves the overall practicality.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
