FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the technical field of in vitro puncture frames required for ultrasonic B-ultrasound puncture operations, and specifically relates to a double-sided needle groove, a frame body and a puncture frame.


TECHNICAL BACKGROUND

The current in vitro puncture frames generally control the needle insertion in two ways: 1. using a rotating needle slot structure; and 2. using a single needle groove structure. The single needle groove generally has two forms: 1. a needle groove directly having a fixed needle insertion angle; and 2, a needle groove with adjustable needle insertion angle. Both of the needle grooves have apertures of different specifications for one-to-one correspondence to puncture needles of different diameters, so each puncture frames using the single needle groove structure must be equipped with needle grooves of various aperture specifications. In a B-ultrasound puncture operation, the surgeon would select, according to the clinical use, a needle groove with different apertures having a fixed needle insertion angle or a needle groove with different apertures having an adjustable needle insertion angle for the B-ultrasound operation. Therefore, the increase in the accessories would increase costs in the B-ultrasound puncture operation of a patient and waste resources.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In order to overcome those technical defects, i.e., having a multitude of accessories, increasing operation costs and easily resulting in waste of resources, in puncture operations of the prior art, the present invention provides a double-sided needle groove, a frame body and a puncture frame, which are designed as front-back interlocking structures, and thus can reduce the number of the double-sided needle groove required for the puncture operations so as to accomplish the purposes of providing fast installation, saving resources and reducing costs in the B-ultrasound puncture operations.


In order to achieve the above purposes, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:


a double-sided needle groove, which has an axisymmetric outer contour, and is provided at one side with at least one needle slot a and at the other side with at least one needle slot b.


Preferably, the needle slot b is fan-shaped.


The double-sided needle groove is provided with one or more needle slots a (the needle slot with a fixed needle insertion angle) and needle slots b (the needle slot with an adjustable needle insertion angle), and the needle slot a and the needle slot b respectively correspond to the diameters of puncture needles and may be designed to meet multiple width specifications. When there is a need to perform different B-ultrasound puncture operations, there is only a need to switch front and back sides of the double-sided needle groove and switch the needle slots according to the diameters of the puncture needles. As can be seen, the double-sided needle groove can be applied to various types of B-ultrasound puncture operations and can effectively reduce the number of accessories in the puncture operations, thereby providing fast installation, saving resources and reducing costs.


Preferably, the number of the needle slot a is three, and the number of the needle slot b is one.


Further, the double-sided needle groove is respectively provided, at two sides thereof, a rotating convex half shaft a and a rotating convex half shaft b, which are symmetric about a centerline of the outer contour of the double-sided needle groove.


Further, the rotating convex half shaft a and the rotating convex half shaft b are respectively provided with a notch a and a notch b, which are symmetric about the centerline of the outer contour of the double-sided needle groove.


A frame body for installing a double-sided needle groove according to any one of the above, wherein the frame body is provided with a needle insertion plate in cooperation with the double-sided needle groove.


Further, the needle insertion plate is provided at one side with a rotating concave half shaft in cooperation with the rotating convex half shaft a or rotating convex half shaft b and at the other side with a hook in cooperation with the rotating convex half shaft a or rotating convex half shaft b.


Further, the hook is provided with a boss in cooperation with the notch a or notch b. The boss is provided with a pit. The pit allows the user to manually remove the double-sided needle groove from the frame body.

A puncture frame comprising a double-sided needle groove according to any one of the above and a frame body according to any one of the above.


The puncture frame can realize the separation of the double-sided needle groove and the entire frame body. When the surgeon needs to insert the needle into the human body at a fixed angle in the operation, a needle slot surface with a fixed angle (a surface with the needle slot a) may be used for cooperation. When the surgeon needs to insert the needle into the human body at an adjustable angle in the operation, a needle slot surface with an adjustable angle (a surface with the needle slot b) may be used for cooperation. Meanwhile, it is possible to control the requirements of fixed-angle needle insertion and free-angle needle insertion sides for different needle diameters by replacement with new needle slots of different specifications.


The present invention has the following advantageous effects: the double-sided needle groove of the present invention is provided with one or more needle slots a (the needle slot with a fixed needle insertion angle) and needle slots b (the needle slot with an adjustable needle insertion angle), and the needle slot a and the needle slot b respectively correspond to the diameters of puncture needles and may be designed to meet multiple width specifications. When there is a need to perform different B-ultrasound puncture operations, there is only a need to switch front and back sides of the double-sided needle groove and switch the needle slots according to the diameters of the puncture needles. As can be seen, the double-sided needle groove can be applied to various types of B-ultrasound puncture operations and can effectively reduce the number of accessories in the puncture operations, thereby providing fast installation, saving resources and reducing costs.
