Description

Desk Type Medical Suction Unit

The present invention relates to a medical suction device for inhaling and removing bodily fluids and foreign substances generated from a patient's medical treatment, and more particularly, to sterilizing a suction tank for storing extracts such as bodily fluids and foreign substances inhaled from a patient's affected area. The present invention relates to a desk-type medical suction device capable of maintaining a pleasant and hygienic treatment environment by suppressing bacterial propagation and air pollution caused by the collected extracts.

In general, a medical suction device uses a suction pump that generates a low vacuum pressure to extract body fluids (such as pus, blood, sputum, saliva, and secretions), cuttings, and wash water that are generated during the treatment or treatment of a speaker. As a medical device forcibly sucked from, it is classified into temporary suction and continuous suction according to the purpose of suction, and a suction device suitable for the purpose is selected and used.In addition, it is manufactured and used for inhaling infant's runny nose at home. It is classified into a portable type suction device provided in a size that can be used, a desk type suction device which is used on a desk or table in a hospital such as a pediatric or dental clinic, and a facility type suction device that processes the extract through a separate sewage facility. Among these suction devices, desk type suction devices are widely used.

The desk-type medical suction device (hereinafter referred to as a 'suction device') is a suction pump that receives power from the outside and generates suction pressure, and the suction pump is connected to the suction pump to act on the patient's affected part. It consists of a suction tank for forming a suction port for suctioning the extract of body fluids or foreign matter, and a suction tank connected to the inhaler and the tube to collect and store the sucked extract, the medical suction device of this configuration is connected to the suction pump When the inhaler inhales the extract from the affected part, the sucked extract is collected and stored in a separate suction tank, and when the extract is filled in the suction tank, it is separated, treated with sewage, and disinfected and reused.

On the other hand, the conventional medical suction device is provided with a transparent material so that the amount of extracts collected in the suction tank can be easily identified so that the extracts do not overflow from the suction tank or flow into the equipment such as suction pumps and cause failures. However, this also has a disadvantage in that it is inconvenient to use as the medical staff to check and empty the amount of extraction in the suction tank from the naked eye from time to time.

In addition, the extract collected in the suction tank is often used until it reaches the discharge capacity as it is difficult to treat sewage, which increases the risk of pathogens and secondary infection caused by the stored extract, It was causing serious problems that severely impaired the treatment environment due to bad smell and air pollution. In other words, even if a small amount of stocks are not sewage from time to time, the sanitary environment in the office due to the decay of the extracts worsens, resulting in serious hygiene that causes secondary infections in the patients and the medical staff. Cause problems.

In addition, as the conventional medical suction device is large enough to be installed in the examination room, the suction pump is also provided in the treatment room. At this time, the extract is collected by the suction pressure by the suction pressure during the operation of the suction pump. In this process, there is a problem that the air containing the odor or pathogens contained in the extract is exhausted into the office as it is.

In order to solve such a problem, a medical foreign material suction device has been proposed in the Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2000-0006644, and the medical foreign material suction device is a container for receiving various foreign substances generated from a patient by suction power by an operation of a pump. In the foreign matter suction device to be collected by suction, it is provided with a plate which is elastically installed by a plurality of springs in the interior of the fastening tube into which the receiving container is inserted and fastened and lifted and operated according to the weight of the receiving container, and the bottom of the fastening tube It discloses a configuration for controlling the suction pump in accordance with the full water level by the weight of the receiving container having a sensor on and off by the lifting operation of the plate.

However, since the medical foreign material suction device according to the prior art is simply configured to detect the full water level in the container and allow the user or medical staff to know it, the extracts collected in the container are still stored as they are stored until the discharge capacity is reached. There remains a problem that the treatment environment caused by the extracted extracts is hampered.

To solve this problem, the suction tank should be emptied and washed frequently, but it is virtually impossible for a nurse or medical staff to practice this in a busy medical environment. In addition, a separate pump is connected to the suction tank and sewage system so that the suction tank can be emptied automatically. There is a method of additionally installing a facility for sewage treatment and washing the suction tank, but it is difficult to apply to desk type suction device due to the limitation of installation space and excessive facility burden.

6 is a view showing another embodiment of the sterilizing means 30 in the desk-type medical suction apparatus according to the present invention.

The desk medical suction device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a main body 3 having a suction pump p for generating a suction force and a side of the main body 3 to collect an extract therein. A suction tank 5 comprising a container 10 and a cover 20 connected to the suction pump p by sealing the open upper surface of the container 10, and one end thereof is connected to the cover 20. The other end is composed of an inhaler (7) for sucking the extract from the patient, and sterilization means 30 for sterilizing the extract in the container 10, except for the sterilization means (30) is the configuration described above Since the configuration is similar to that of the detailed description is omitted.

Sterilization means 30 according to the present embodiment is largely composed of an ozone generator 37 and the ozone supply pump 38, the ozone generator 37 is provided on one side of the main body 3, the control signal from the furnace It is a device to generate ozone. In addition, the ozone supply pump 38 is an element for forcibly feeding ozone generated by being connected to the ozone generator 37 to the inside of the container 10 through a conduit 37a connected to the cover 20.

That is, the ozone generator 37 generates ozone by operating by receiving a control signal from the controller 33, the lamp generator type using an ultraviolet lamp, the discharge type using a silent discharge tube or a ceramic discharge tube, and the receiving cell Electrolysis using may be used, but the present invention proposes that a high-pressure discharge type using a ceramic discharge tube is used, and such a high-pressure discharge type is performed by a known technique, and thus detailed description thereof will be omitted.
