The present application claims the priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 2017110072334 filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Oct. 24, 2017 and entitled “Efficient Carrying Portable Constant Negative Pressure Suction Apparatus for Outdoor Use”, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of medical equipment for both military and civilian purposes, in particular to an efficient-carrying (i.e., “efficient-support”, the term “efficient-support” means that the suction device of the present disclosure can be efficiently carried into the human body, for example, into the respiratory tract, esophagus and stomach) portable constant-negative-pressure suction device for outdoor/field use (an efficient carrying portable constant negative pressure suction apparatus for outdoor use).
In a regular medical field, negative-pressure suction relies on negative-pressure suction effect generated by a central-negative-pressure suction center to suck sputum, blood bleeding at wound and other secretions or exudates. Due to the central negative pressure, it requires large equipment investment and high requirements. For example, a vacuum suction station generally comprises two water ring vacuum pumps, a vacuum tank, solenoid valves, water-gas separators, electrical control boxes, connecting pipelines, butterfly valves and shut-off valves, which are all installed in a suction pump room. Regarding suction pipelines: a main pipe and branch pipes are galvanized pipes, after entering a ward, a copper pipe is used, fixed onto an integrated equipment cover, and connected to a gas terminal valve (gas head). Regarding a gas terminal connector (plug-in quick connector): it is normally in a sealed state, wherein when a suction bottle is inserted, a gas terminal automatically opens, generating negative pressure. The suction device (bottle) is an independent device with a volume of 1-5 L. When in use, the suction bottle is inserted into a corresponding insertion orifice, so as to generate a negative pressure in the bottle, thereby smoothly sucking out dirt in the body of a patient. The indicating value of the vacuum gauge on the vacuum pump should be adjusted within a range of −0.03 Mpa to −0.07 Mpa after installation, which may meet use requirements for the ward. When the indicating value is lower than −0.03 Mpa, the vacuum pump automatically starts pumping, and when the pointer reaches −0.07 Mpa, it automatically stops pumping. A solenoid valve is installed on a gas intake pipeline of the pump, and the solenoid valve and a pump motor are started synchronously, that is, when the motor is started, the solenoid valve is automatically opened and connected to the vacuum system; when the pump stops working, the solenoid valve is automatically closed to prevent, when the pumping is stopped, water and air from flowing back into the vacuum system. Moreover, the system uses two water ring vacuum pumps which are alternately used. That is, one pump works first after the power is turned on, and automatically stops after reaching a certain negative pressure value (−0.07 Mpa), and when the negative pressure of the vacuum system rises to −0.03 Mpa, another vacuum pump is automatically started, which steps are repeated so that the system is kept to be within a set vacuum range. This is basic equipment of a central hospital. This kind of negative pressure equipment is commonly used, and obtained data range, −0.03 Mpa to −0.07 Mpa, is a result of big data. The negative-pressure suction device has been clinically applied to patients for more than 100 billion times. Simple electric suction devices are often used in medical aid stations, which has a relatively large volume, and is inconvenient to carry, resulting in relatively complex field operations.
At present, existing manual or foot-controlled suction devices cannot meet outdoor/field suction requirements because the negative pressure for suction cannot achieve pressure requirement and the gas leakage rate is high, and there is no suction devices suitable for intra-airway bleeding or hematocele caused by chest penetrating injuries on the field battlefield, or drowning, or auxiliary suction devices required when the elderly at home are too weak to spit sputum. The existing portable negative-pressure suction device can only perform cleaning of blood, sputum or secretions in the oral cavity, but cannot clean blood, sputum or secretions in the deep nasal cavity, pharyngeal cavity, trachea, bronchus, stomach.
In addition, when carrying or entering a first scene or rescuing and salvaging patients or the wounded in a first-line battlefield, the suction device is very inconvenient to carry and the operation thereof is complicated. Studies have shown that the suffocation death rate of patients or the wounded is 15.7%, with the death caused by blocking the airway by airway foreign bodies, blood, sputum, or secretions. In field battlefields and training grounds, airway injuries and wound bleeding require a suction device suitable for the field. Especially, the elderly have poor cough reflex ability, expectoration powerless, and high incidence of airway blocking by airway secretions or sputum or blood at home or a place away from the medical place, which may easily cause asphyxia hypoxia, hypoxic encephalopathy or death, so it is extremely necessary to prepare a disposable sputum suction device at home. Even if the hospital has sputum suction devices, it takes a long time to prepare in an emergency. If a handy disposable suction device is prepared by a bed or in a first aid box, further rescue opportunities may be obtained. When rescuing a drowned person at a first scene in the field, who sucked much water in the airway and stomach, suction devices suitable for the field are also needed.
Therefore, it has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by a person skilled in the art, about how to provide an efficient-support portable constant-negative-pressure suction device for outdoor use that can satisfy the stable negative-pressure suction pressure in the range of −0.03 Mpa to −0.07 Mpa, has a calculated negative pressure range of −0.3099 kgf/cm2 to −0.702 kgf/cm2, and simultaneously can be conveniently carried and operated.

It should be additionally indicated here that regarding the basic research of the physical rheology that generates negative pressure: Bernoulli's equation: p+ρgh+(½)*ρv2=c, where p, ρ, v indicate the intensity of pressure, density and speed of a fluid, respectively; h indicates a vertical height; g indicates acceleration of gravity; and c indicates a constant. The Bernoulli's equation is an equation that reflects the relationship among speed, intensity of pressure, and other parameters in the movement of an ideal fluid. When an ideal positive-pressure fluid makes a steady motion under the action of a potential volume force, the movement equation (i.e., the Euler equation) is integrated along the streamline to obtain an equation expressing conservation of mechanical energy of a moving fluid. Negative-pressure suction also follows Bernoulli's equation and movement equation. The set sputum density ρ is maximum, h=0, the Bernoulli's equation can be simplified to be: p+(½)*ρv2=c, a minimum sectional area of an internal channel of the negative-pressure suction tube, which maintains a constant negative pressure, of the efficient-support portable constant-negative-pressure suction device for outdoor use defined by calculating according to the movement equation, however since the density of sputum is not constant in the test, castor oil is used as the basis standard for experimental research, wherein the viscosity of the castor oil is relatively high, and similar to the viscosity of the sputum and blood.
When the pressure change of the efficient-support portable constant-negative-pressure suction device for outdoor use is not too large, assuming that the flow of gas whose density can be viewed as a constant is used as a basic standard for stability research, it can be obtained by setting energy equations for two sections in the pipeline: P1−P2=(λL/r)V2/(2g);
The flow rate can be obtained from: V=√[2gr (P1−P2)/λL];
The flux: Q=(πr2/4) V=(πr2/4)*√[2gr (P1−P2)/λL];
In the equation: V: flow rate in the pipeline; Q: flux in the pipeline; g: acceleration of the gravity; r: inner diameter of the pipeline; P1: intensity of pressure at the starting end of the pipeline; P2: intensity of pressure at the tail end of the pipeline; λ: resistance coefficient of the pipeline wall; L: length of the pipeline. By calculating r, the inner diameter of the pipeline, and at the same time, negative pressure is generated when changing the negative-pressure suction ball, to satisfy the change of intensity of pressure inside the pipeline, satisfy generation of the pressure difference P1−P2, i.e. satisfy suction flow rate per unit time, and r, the inner diameter of the pipeline is one of the bases of the constant negative pressure of the efficient-support portable constant-negative-pressure suction device for outdoor use.
Regarding the study of materials science and material structure, when performing research on a constant-negative-pressure suction device convenient for field operation, materials science requires that when the elastic restoring force meets the use requirement, the negative pressure range may be −0.3099 kgf/cm2 to −0.702 kgf/cm2, single-person continuous manual operation is mainly adopted, the weight is in the range of 100-300 g, one-time molding is used, and no air leakage is achieved. The negative-pressure suction ball is set to be elliptical, with a maximal width of 55.87 mm and a minimal width is 21.64 mm.
In the above, as shown in
The inner wall of the balloon of the negative-pressure suction ball 2816 may be also provided with a longitudinal elastic plate 15 and a lateral elastic wire 16, and the support member, together with the longitudinal elastic plate 15 and the lateral elastic wire 16, resists the squeezing of the balloon wall towards the center line of the negative-pressure suction ball 2816 to return to the spherical state.
Specifically, as shown in
The lateral elastic wire 16 may comprises multiple groups of lateral elastic wires. Each group has two lateral elastic wires 16, and two ends of each lateral elastic wire 16 are respectively connected to the ridge plates of the longitudinal elastic plate 15 which are arranged opposite to each other.
Optionally, the longitudinal elastic plate 15, the lateral elastic wire 16 and the balloon wall constitute an internal cystic structure of the negative-pressure suction ball 2816, and are formed by a one-time molding manufacturing process, which can effectively ensure that the elastic restoring force can form sufficient negative pressure in the balloon.
The circular gas exhaust valve 2815 may be tightly fitted to the proximal end of the inner balloon of the negative-pressure suction ball 2816, and the circular gas exhaust valve 2815 is composed of a gas exhaust valve core 17, a gas exhaust valve spring 19, and a gas exhaust valve hole 18. The circular gas exhaust valve 2815 is fabricated by a precision manufacturing process technology. The position where the negative-pressure suction ball 2816 is connected with the suction control hole 13 is integrated with an anti-backflow valve 14, wherein the anti-backflow valve 14 is fan-shaped, and a fan edge is fixed by a chordae tendineae, so as to facilitating squeezing and gas exhausting during use, and the anti-backflow valve 14 may prevent backflowing phenomenon of the sucked sputum and blood.
