[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0029] In today's society, many women lack proper understanding of gynecological diseases, lack proper health care, and, coupled with various unhealthy lifestyle habits, lead to some women suffering from gynecological diseases. For example, cervical cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy. Early detection can significantly reduce morbidity and mortality. This application provides an embodiment of a gynecological examination device that is designed for women to self-examine their reproductive organs at home, promptly detecting diseases within the reproductive organs and preventing further deterioration.

[0030] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the gynecological examination device of the present application in the storage state. Figure 2 This is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the gynecological examination device of the present application in a non-storage state. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of an embodiment of the gynecological examination device of the present application.

[0031] Specifically, the gynecological examination device 10 may include a vaginal insertion device 100, a storage device 200, and an image acquisition device 300. The vaginal insertion device 100 has at least one contact surface for insertion into a woman's vagina, and the image acquisition device 300 is installed within the vaginal insertion device 100. When the vaginal insertion device 100 is inserted into the vagina, the image acquisition device 300 is brought into the vagina by the vaginal insertion device 100. The image acquisition device 300 can record image information or video information within the vagina, allowing the user to observe the internal conditions of their own vagina and then determine whether the vagina has lesions.

[0032] For example, users can use images or videos of the vagina to see if the surface of their vagina and cervix is ​​smooth, and whether there are any abnormalities such as inflammation, erosion, ulcers, or tumors. If any abnormalities are observed in the vagina or cervix, they can go to the hospital for further testing or seek medical treatment in a timely manner to prevent further deterioration of the disease.

[0033] In this embodiment, the vaginal insertion device 100 is provided with a window 102 , and the image acquisition device 300 can record image information or video information inside the vagina through the window 102 inside the vaginal insertion device 100 .

[0034] In actual use, a woman's vagina contains vaginal secretions, which are typically milky white or egg white in color. Other discolorations may occur after contracting a gynecological disease. These vaginal secretions can submerge window 102, obscuring window 102 and preventing image acquisition device 300 from obtaining clear image or video information through window 102, thus affecting diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, in this embodiment, a liquid storage space 103 is provided at window 102. Liquid storage space 103 is used to store vaginal secretions and prevent them from obstructing image acquisition device 300. After removing vaginal insertion device 100, the vaginal secretions in liquid storage space 103 can be removed along with the vaginal insertion device 100, facilitating observation and testing of the vaginal secretions.

[0035] Therefore, this embodiment stores vaginal secretions through the liquid storage space 103, reducing the probability of vaginal secretions blocking the image acquisition device 300, increasing the clarity of the vaginal image information or video information obtained by the image acquisition device 300, and the extracted vaginal secretions can be used for laboratory tests, thereby improving the diagnostic accuracy of the gynecological examination device 10.

[0036] Furthermore, the storage device 200 is provided with a storage space 301 that matches the vaginal insertion device 100. When the gynecological examination device 10 is not in use, the vaginal insertion device 100 can be inserted into the storage space 301 of the storage device 200 to prevent contamination by external dust, bacteria, and impurities. When the gynecological examination device 10 is needed for vaginal examination, the vaginal insertion device 100 can be removed from the storage space 301. The storage device 200 also facilitates the portability of the gynecological examination device 10. When the gynecological examination device 10 needs to be carried outside, the gynecological examination device 10 of the present application can be carried without additional packaging.

[0037] Optionally, the vaginal insertion device 100 and the storage device 200 can be snap-connected, threadedly connected, or a damping member can be added to prevent the vaginal insertion device 100 from slipping out of the storage space 301 in the storage device 200.

[0038] In some embodiments, the storage device 200 further includes a power supply (not shown) and ultraviolet lamp beads (not shown), wherein the power supply stores electrical energy, and the power supply can be used to charge the vaginal insertion device 100 and provide electrical energy to the ultraviolet lamp beads. When the vaginal insertion device 100 is stored in the storage space 301, the storage device 200 charges the vaginal insertion device 100 through the power supply. The charging method can be wired charging through a charging terminal connection, or wireless charging through the charging coils in the storage device 200 and the vaginal insertion device 100, which is not limited here. The ultraviolet lamp beads are arranged inside the storage space 301. When the vaginal insertion device 100 is stored in the storage space 301, the ultraviolet lamp beads emit ultraviolet light to the vaginal insertion device 100 to sterilize and disinfect the vaginal insertion device 100, and prevent the vaginal insertion device 100 from infecting the vagina when inserted into the vagina.

[0039] Optionally, a charging circuit board 210 and a charging port 202 are also provided in the storage device 200. The charging port 202 is used to connect an external power supply. The external power supply is connected to the charging circuit board 210 through the charging port 202 to charge the power supply in the storage device 200 or the vaginal insertion device 100.

[0040] In the present application, the vaginal insertion device 100 and the image acquisition device 300 are mainly used for vaginal detection. Therefore, in other embodiments, the gynecological examination device 10 may not include the storage device 200.

[0041] Therefore, in this embodiment, the user can use the gynecological examination device 10 to examine their vagina and cervix, effectively identifying gynecological diseases and providing timely treatment. The gynecological examination device 10 is provided with a liquid storage space 103 for storing vaginal secretions, thereby reducing the probability of vaginal secretions blocking the image acquisition device 300 and increasing the diagnostic accuracy of the gynecological examination device 10. Furthermore, the gynecological examination device 10 is portable and can be used on business trips, travel, and the like.

[0042] See also Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the vaginal insertion device in one embodiment of the gynecological examination device of the present application. Figure 5 yes Figure 4 Enlarged view of region I in Example.

[0043] In this embodiment, the vaginal insertion device 100 includes a housing (not numbered) and a transparent member 113. The housing has at least one contact surface, and the image acquisition device 300 is mounted within the housing. The housing may include a handle 111 and an insertion portion 112. The handle 111 and insertion portion 112 are connected. The insertion portion 112 is configured to be inserted into a female vagina. The handle 111 is configured to adjust the position of the insertion portion 112 within the vagina. When the vaginal insertion device 100 is inserted into the vagina, the handle 111 is exposed outside the vaginal opening. The user can use the handle 111 to pull, push, or rotate the insertion portion 112 to adjust its position within the vagina.

[0044] In this embodiment, the handle portion 111 and the insertion portion 112 engage with each other to form a receiving slot 101 for mounting the image acquisition device 300. The image acquisition device 300 is received in the receiving slot 101, and when the insertion portion 112 is inserted into the vagina, the image acquisition device 300 is brought into the vagina by the insertion portion 112.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the handle portion 111 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the insertion portion 112. This not only makes it easier to grasp the handle portion 111, allowing it to be grasped even in humid environments to adjust the position of the insertion portion 112 in the vagina, but also prevents the handle portion 111 from accidentally entering the vagina. Optionally, the outer surface of the handle portion 111 may also be provided with a certain texture to increase the friction of the outer surface of the handle portion 111.

[0046] Optionally, the width of the cross section of the insertion portion 112 is about 3 to 5 cm, which can not only provide the insertion portion 112 with enough space to accommodate the image acquisition device 300, but also prevent the insertion portion 112 from being too thick to cause discomfort to the user.

[0047] Optionally, the length of the insertion portion 112 is 7 cm to 13 cm, meaning that the maximum depth of insertion of the insertion portion 112 into the vagina is 7 cm to 13 cm. If the insertion portion 112 is too short, the image acquisition device 300 may not be brought into the cervical os, making it impossible to observe image or video information of the cervical os. If the insertion portion 112 is too long, the user may injure their reproductive organs due to careless operation. In some embodiments, the insertion portion 112 may also be configured to be retractable to accommodate different women's vaginas.

[0048] Optionally, the handle portion 111 and the insert portion 112 may be made of a plastic material that has good plasticity and is not too hard to cause discomfort to the user. The insert portion 112 may also be coated with a silicone layer to improve its water resistance and softness.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a window 102 is provided in the insertion portion 112. The window 102 communicates with the receiving tank 101. A liquid storage space 103 is provided at the window 102. The liquid storage space 103 is used to store vaginal secretions to prevent the vaginal secretions from obstructing the image acquisition device 300. When the insertion portion 112 is inserted into the vagina, the image acquisition device 300 located within the insertion portion 112 can record image information or video information from within the vagina through the window 102. A transparent member 113 is provided over the window 102 to seal the window 102 and prevent vaginal secretions from entering the receiving tank 101 through the window 102 and damaging the image acquisition device 300. The image acquisition device 300 can record image information or video information from within the vagina through the transparent member 113. The transparent member 113 can be made of glass or transparent plastic.

[0050] Specifically, the window 102 includes a first section hole 1021 and a second section hole 1022. The first section hole 1021 and the second section hole 1022 are connected. The first section hole 1021 is closer to the direction of insertion into the vagina than the second section hole 1022, that is, the second section hole 1022 is closer to the accommodating groove 101 and the image acquisition device 300 than the first section hole 1021.

[0051] The aperture size of the first section hole 1021 is larger than the aperture size of the second section hole 1022. Therefore, the insertion portion 112 forms a concave structure at the window 102 from the first section hole 1021 to the second section hole 1022, that is, a liquid storage space 103 is formed, and the liquid storage space 103 is located in the first section hole 1021.

[0052] After the insertion portion 112 is inserted into the vagina, vaginal secretions will enter the first section hole 1021 and be stored in the liquid storage space 103 in the first section hole 1021. The image acquisition device 300 records the image information or video information in the vagina through the second section hole 1022. The vaginal secretions in the liquid storage space 103 are distributed on the edge of the first section hole 1021 and will not affect the second section hole 1022.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 yes Figure 5 The schematic diagram of the structure after the transparent part is installed in the embodiment. Figure 6 In the embodiment, the transparent member 113 is covered and accommodated in the first section hole 1021 , and is enclosed with the inserting portion to form a liquid storage space 103 .

[0054] During the middle of the menstrual cycle, when the ovaries are about to ovulate, the cervical glands secrete vigorously, and vaginal secretions increase. To ensure that the liquid storage space 103 can accommodate sufficient vaginal secretions and that the vaginal secretions do not rise to the height of the second section hole 1022 in the liquid storage space 103, it is necessary to ensure that the depth D of the first section hole is sufficient. Optionally, the depth D of the first section hole is 3 mm to 10 mm, for example, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, or 10 mm. In other words, the depth D of the liquid storage space 103 is 3 mm to 10 mm (the thickness of the transparent member 113 is negligible).

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 and 7 As shown, Figure 7 This is an exploded view of the insertion portion of an embodiment of the gynecological examination device of the present application. In this embodiment, the insertion portion 112 comprises an inner housing 1121 and an outer housing 1122. The second-stage hole 1022 is provided in the inner housing 1121, while the first-stage hole 1021 is provided in the outer housing 1122. The outer housing 1122 is sleeved around the outer periphery of the inner housing 1121 and completely covers the outer wall of the inner housing 1121. In other words, the entire outer wall of the inner housing 1121 is in contact with the inner wall of the outer housing 1122.

[0056] In this embodiment, the length of outer shell 1122 is greater than the length of inner shell 1121, so that a portion of the inner wall of outer shell 1122 does not contact the inner wall of inner shell 1121. Transparent member 113 is located inside outer shell 1122 and outside inner shell 1121. Transparent member 113 and the portion of the inner wall of outer shell 1122 that does not contact the inner wall of inner shell 1121 enclose liquid storage space 103. Optionally, the length of outer shell 1122 that is longer than inner shell 1121 is the depth of liquid storage space 103.

[0057] Optionally, the area of ​​the transparent member 113 can be the same as the area of ​​the second section hole 1022, and the transparent member 113 covers the second section hole 1022, or it can be the same as the area of ​​the first section hole 1021, accommodated in the first section hole 1021 and seal the first section hole 1021. As long as the transparent member 113 can seal the second section hole 1022 and prevent vaginal secretions from entering the accommodating groove 101 from the second section hole 1022, it will be sufficient.

[0058] The following example takes the case where the area of ​​the transparent member 113 is the same as the area of ​​the first section hole 1021. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 This is a front structural diagram of the transparent part of an embodiment of the gynecological examination device of the present application.

[0059] In this embodiment, the transparent member 113 has the same area as the first hole 1021 and is located within the first hole 1021. The transparent member 113 includes a connecting portion 1131 and a light-transmitting portion 1132. The connecting portion 1131 is disposed around the light-transmitting portion 1132 and connects to the inserting portion 112 within the first hole 1021, perhaps by adhesive bonding. The light-transmitting portion 1132 faces the second hole 1022. The connecting portion 1131 and the inserting portion 112 enclose a liquid storage space 103.

[0060] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the vaginal insertion device located in the vagina in one embodiment of the gynecological examination device of the present application. In this embodiment, a window 102 is provided at one end of the insertion portion 112 inserted into the vagina, that is, the window 102 is located at the deepest point of the vaginal insertion device 100. When the vaginal insertion device 100 reaches the deepest point of the vagina, the window 102 can face the cervical os, allowing the image acquisition device 300 to observe image information or video information at the cervical os. At the same time, when the vaginal insertion device 100 is inserted into the vagina, the liquid storage space 103 at the window 102 is located at the deepest point of the vaginal insertion device 100. Since the vagina includes many vaginal folds, vaginal secretions may be stored in the vaginal folds. If the vaginal tissue to be observed is obscured by the vaginal secretions in the vaginal folds, the vaginal insertion device 100 can also be used in this embodiment to scrape the vaginal secretions from the vaginal folds and store the vaginal secretions in the liquid storage space 103.

[0061] After the vaginal insertion device 100 is removed, the vaginal secretions in the liquid storage space 103 can be removed along with the vaginal insertion device 100, facilitating observation and testing of the vaginal secretions. Therefore, the gynecological examination device of this embodiment can also extract vaginal secretions through the liquid storage space 103, perform testing on the vaginal secretions, and diagnose gynecological diseases based on the vaginal secretions, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the diagnosis.

[0062] Therefore, the gynecological examination device under this embodiment can not only prevent vaginal secretions from blocking the image acquisition device 300, but also prevent vaginal secretions from blocking the vaginal tissue that needs to be observed, thereby increasing the clarity of the vaginal image information or video information obtained by the image acquisition device 300. At the same time, vaginal secretions can also be taken out, thereby improving the diagnostic accuracy of the gynecological examination device 10.

[0063] Further, see Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 8 and Figure 10 , Figure 10It is a structural diagram of the image acquisition device in one embodiment of the gynecological examination device of the present application.

[0064] In this embodiment, the image acquisition device 300 may specifically include a camera 310 , a circuit board assembly 320 , a battery 330 , a camera bracket 340 , and a light source 350 .

[0065] The camera 310 is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 320. The camera 310 and the circuit board assembly 320 are located on a side of the second hole 1022 away from the first hole 1021. The camera 310 is used to record image information or video information of the vagina. The camera 310 is located on one side of the transparent member 113, and the camera 310 observes the internal structure of the vagina through the transparent member 113. Specifically, the camera 310 is connected to the light-transmitting portion 1132, and the camera 310 observes the internal structure of the vagina through the light portion 1132.

[0066] Optionally, the camera 310 may be a CCD digital camera.

[0067] The light source 350 is arranged around the camera 310 and located between the transparent member 113 and the camera 310 , and is used to emit light toward the transparent member 113 toward the vagina to illuminate the vagina and provide a light source for the camera 310 to form an image.

[0068] Optionally, the light source 350 may include white LED lamp beads and / or green LED lamp beads. The white LED lamp beads are used to provide a white light source. The white light source has a high color rendering index and a strong ability to render objects, and can better reflect the original color of human tissue such as the vagina or cervix. The green LED lamp beads are used to provide a green light source. Using green light, the vascular structure of the vagina or cervix is ​​more clearly observed.

[0069] Of course, in other embodiments, the light source 350 may also include light sources of other colors, such as blue LED lamp beads and purple LED lamp beads.

[0070] The battery 330 is mounted on one side of the circuit board assembly 320 and is electrically connected to the camera 310, the circuit board assembly 320 and the light source 350. The battery 330 is used to store electrical energy and provide the camera 310, the circuit board assembly 320 and the light source 350 with the electrical energy required for operation.

[0071] The camera 310 is electrically connected to the circuit board assembly 320 , and the circuit board assembly 320 can control the operation of the camera 310 , such as controlling the on / off of the camera 310 , or controlling the focal length of the camera 310 to magnify the image information or video information of the vagina.

[0072] The camera 310 is also mounted on one side of the circuit board assembly 320 via a camera bracket 340. Through the camera bracket 340, the camera 310 is at a certain angle to the vagina, so that the camera 310 can face the inner wall of the vagina, making it easier for the camera 310 to capture and record image information or video information of the vagina.

[0073] See Figure 11 , Figure 11 This is a structural diagram of a circuit board assembly in one embodiment of the gynecological examination device of the present application.

[0074] The circuit board assembly 320 may include a control circuit 321 , a communication circuit 322 , and a memory 323 , wherein the control circuit 321 , the communication circuit 322 , and the memory 323 are signal-connected to each other.

[0075] In this embodiment, the communication circuit 322 is used to establish a wireless connection with an external electronic device (not shown). The electronic device may include a smart phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant or tablet computer), a PC (Personal Computer), and may also include smart wearable devices such as smart watches and smart bracelets.

[0076] Optionally, the communication circuit 322 can be connected to the electronic device via Bluetooth, NFC (Near Field Communication), infrared, or WiFi. This embodiment uses WiFi as an example. WiFi is a wireless local area network communication technology that enables short-range data exchange between the vaginal detector and the electronic device.

[0077] When a user needs to use the gynecological examination device of the present application for vaginal examination, they can first start the electronic device and establish a connection with the communication circuit 322 of the gynecological examination device 10. The electronic device matches the communication circuit 322 based on the WiFi information. The WiFi information may include, but is not limited to: a universally unique identifier (UUID) that identifies the gynecological examination device, a physical address (Media Access Control, MAC) of the gynecological examination device, and the WiFi name of the gynecological examination device.

[0078] After the pairing is successful, the user can send a control signal to the communication circuit 322 through the electronic device. After receiving the control signal from the electronic device, the communication circuit 322 sends the control signal to the control circuit 321. The control circuit 321 receives the control signal and controls the camera 310 based on the control signal.

[0079] After the camera 310 records the image information or video information in the vagina, the camera 310 can send the image information or video information to the memory 323, and the memory 323 saves the image information and video information so that the historical records can be viewed later. The camera 310 can also send the image information or video information to an electronic device through the communication circuit 322. After the electronic device receives the image information and video information, it can dynamically display the internal conditions of the vagina so that the user can view the image or video of the vagina in real time. When the user is checking their own vagina or cervix, if they find suspected pathological features, they can manually operate the handheld part 111 to adjust the position of the insertion part 112 in the vagina, and then adjust the position of the camera 310, aim the camera 310 at the suspected pathological features, and control the camera 310 through the electronic device to shoot the features.
