The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 is the sketch map of extension wire of the implantable nerve electric stimulation of prior art.With reference to Fig. 1, the extension wire 1 of implantable nerve electric stimulation mainly comprises inside conductor 2, insulator 3 and connecting ring 4.
Wherein, the quantity of inside conductor 2 and connecting ring 4 can be provided with as required.For example, in extension wire 1, three inside conductors 2 are set, and three connecting rings 4 correspondingly are set.Each inside conductor 2 is connected with corresponding connecting ring 4 respectively.
Connecting ring 4 is the thin-walled circulus.Thin-walled at connecting ring 4 is connected with corresponding inside conductor 2 by modes such as for example welding.The inside conductor 2 that bigger inner space then is used for other in the connecting ring 4 passes.
In extension wire 1, be formed with the insulator 3 that coats inside conductor 2 by injection mo(u)lding.
Particularly, each inside conductor 2 respectively with corresponding connecting ring 4 be linked and packed finish after, can form the insulator 3 that coats inside conductor 2 by injection molding process.Yet, in injection molding process, can produce bigger active force to inside conductor 2 when injecting insulating material.Because inside conductor 2 lacks positioning means in the bigger inner space of connecting ring 4, so under the influence of the active force that is produced in injection molding process, the inside conductor 2 that passes this inner space can produce lateral displacement.Thus, even can cause different inside conductor 2 to be in contact with one another, electrically contact thereby formation is undesirable between inside conductor 2.
In addition, pulse generator need be connected with extension wire 2 in the implantable nerve electric stimulation, using screw extension wire 2 to be connected under the situation of pulse generator, screw can produce roughly contention effect power radially on the outer surface of connecting ring 4.Connecting ring 4 influences the reliability of signal of telecommunication transmission because its thin-wall construction is easy to generate distortion, thereby causes loose contact under this contention effect power.
In order to overcome the above problems, the invention provides a kind of extension wire of implantable nerve electric stimulation.
Fig. 2 is the axonometric chart according to the connecting ring 4 of the extension wire 2 of implantable nerve electric stimulation of the present invention.With reference to Fig. 2, connecting ring 4 is the roughly shape of solid cylinder, and it has bigger rigidity compared to the thin-walled circulus.Thereby, using screw extension wire 2 to be connected under the situation of pulse generator, can not produce distortion on the outer surface of connecting ring 4 owing to the contention effect power that screw produces roughly radially.
With further reference to Fig. 2, in axial direction be provided with connection via 5 and insulator bore 6 in the connecting ring 4.Wherein, the quantity of connection via 5 can be provided with according to the quantity of inside conductor 2 in the extension wire 1.
In embodiment shown in Figure 2, each connects via 5 to arrange 6 central parts that are arranged on connecting ring 4 of insulator bore about connecting ring 4 centrosymmetric modes.But connecting via 5 and/or insulator bore 6 can otherwise arrange, for example arranges with asymmetric manner, thereby can further reduce the diameter of connecting ring 4.
Fig. 3 is the assembling sketch map according to connecting ring and inside conductor in the extension wire of implantable nerve electric stimulation of the present invention.In embodiment shown in Figure 3, be provided with four and connect via 5.
With reference to Fig. 3, a connection via 5 in each connecting ring 4 is used for being connected with corresponding inside conductor 2 by modes such as for example welding, and the inside conductor 2 that other connection via 5 in this connecting ring 4 then is respectively applied for other passes.
That is, each inside conductor 2 passes connection via 5 separately, rather than passes the inner space of connecting ring as prior art together.Thereby connecting via 5 can play positioning action to the inside conductor 2 that passes.Thus, even under the influence of the active force that is produced in the injection molding process of insulator 3, inside conductor 2 can not produce displacement yet.
As can be known, the effect that connection via 5 according to the present invention has two aspects is used to connect inside conductor 2 on the one hand, is used on the other hand the inside conductor 2 that passes is positioned.
Fig. 4 is the cutaway view according to the extension wire of implantable nerve electric stimulation of the present invention.With reference to Fig. 4, it clearly show that inside conductor 2, connecting ring 4 and insulator 3 after the assembling molding, and wherein each inside conductor 2 is located reliably by connecting via 5.
With further reference to Fig. 4, wherein insulator bore 6 is used for admitting insulating material at the injection molding process of insulator 3, makes formed insulator 3 run through each connecting ring 4, thereby plays the effect that connects each connecting ring 4.
Wherein, insulating material can adopt the insulant of bio-compatible, for example polyurethane (polyurethane), Merlon (polycarbonate) etc.
