[0034] See also Figures 1 to 3 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vaginal probe donning device 100 includes a housing 110 , a donning and removing mechanism 120 , and a transfer mechanism 150 .

[0035] The housing 110 can be made of metal, plastic, or other materials, forming a cubic or cylindrical structure. Within the housing 110 are formed an operating channel 101 for inserting the vaginal probe 21 and a storage compartment 102 connected to the operating channel 101, which is also used to store clean condoms. Given the cylindrical shape of the vaginal probe, the operating channel 101 is typically a cylindrical cavity. The operating channel 101 has an entrance, with the end opposite the entrance forming a bottom, through which the vaginal probe can be inserted.

[0036] The outer wall of the housing 110 may be provided with a hatch to facilitate opening and closing of the storage compartment 102. The storage compartment 102 and the operating channel 101 may be connected via a conduit formed within the housing 110. Alternatively, the operating channel 101 and storage compartment 102 may be positioned adjacent to each other, with an opening provided in their shared sidewall. The transfer mechanism 150, via the conduit or opening, transfers condoms from the storage compartment 102 to the operating channel 101, preparing for the insertion of a condom onto a vaginal probe inserted into the operating channel 101.

[0037] Please also refer to Figures 4 to 7 The condom donning operation is performed by the condom donning mechanism 120. The donning and removal mechanism 120 comprises a clamping member 121 and a collar 122. The clamping member 121 is located at one end of the operating channel 101 near the entrance, while the collar 122 is capable of sliding along the axial direction of the operating channel 101 between an initial position near the bottom of the operating channel 101 and the clamping member 121.

[0038] The clamping member 121 can be tightened or loosened to clamp or loosen the vaginal probe 21 inserted into the operating channel 101. When tightened, the clamping member 121 secures the vaginal probe 21 within the operating channel 101. When loosened, the vaginal probe 21 can be smoothly inserted into or removed from the operating channel 101 without interference from the clamping member 121.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the clamping member 121 is an operably expandable annular structure formed by joining two semicircular ring structures. When the two semicircular ring structures move away from each other, the clamping member 121 opens; when the two semicircular ring structures move toward each other, the clamping member 121 contracts. Because the annular structure of the clamping member 121 forms a circular clamping space, it can better conform to the outer wall of the vaginal probe 21, thereby ensuring more stable clamping.

[0040] The inner wall of the operating channel 101 may be provided with an axially extending slide rail, and the collar 122 may be slidably mounted on the inner wall of the operating channel 101 via the slide rail. A drive device such as a motor may also be provided within the housing 110, which is transmission-connected to the collar 122 and drives the collar 122 to move back and forth between the initial position and the clamping member 121 according to instructions.

[0041] The collar 122 can be placed over the vaginal probe 21 inserted into the operating channel 101. Furthermore, the collar 122 can be tightened or opened to clamp or release the vaginal probe 21 inserted into the operating channel 101. When the collar 122 is opened, it does not affect the insertion or removal of the vaginal probe 21 from the operating channel 101. When the collar 122 is tightened, its inner diameter is approximately the same as the outer diameter of the vaginal probe 21, allowing the collar 122 to adhere tightly to the outer wall of the vaginal probe 21.

[0042] It should be noted that the clamping force of the collar 122 on the vaginal probe 21 is less than the clamping force of the clamping member 121 on the vaginal probe 21. Therefore, when the collar 22 slides axially along the operating channel 101, the collar 122 can move along the outer wall of the vaginal probe 21, while the clamping member 121 can keep the position of the vaginal probe 21 stable within the operating channel 101.

[0043] In this embodiment, the outer walls of the collar 122 and the clamping member 121 are coated with an elastic coating (not shown). The elastic coating acts as a buffer and prevents direct contact between the collar 122 and the clamping member 121 and the vaginal probe 21 when the collar 122 and the clamping member 121 are clamped, thereby preventing wear and tear on the vaginal probe 21.

[0044] The elastic coating can be a flexible layer such as a sponge layer or a silicone layer. Sponge, due to its smooth surface and low friction coefficient, can be used to form the elastic coating on the outer wall of the collar 122. This reduces friction between the collar 122 and the vaginal probe 21, minimizing resistance when the collar 122 moves against the outer wall of the vaginal probe 21.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the clamping member 121 , the collar 122 and the operating channel 101 are coaxially arranged so that when the clamping member 121 and the collar 122 clamp the vaginal probe 21 , the vaginal probe 21 can be prevented from tilting in the operating channel 101 .

[0046] More specifically, when the transfer mechanism 150 transfers the condoms 22 in the storage bin 102 to the operating channel 101, the transferred condoms 22 are transferred to the surface of the ring 122 at the initial position. The transfer mechanism 150 can be a robot, a conveyor belt, a guide rail conveyor plate, or other structures.

[0047] Please refer to the following Figures 2 to 7 , the working process of the vaginal probe condom putting device 100 is roughly described as follows:

[0048] In the initial state, the clamping member 121 and the collar 122 are open and the collar 122 is located at the initial position. Figure 4As shown, the vaginal probe 21 without a condom is inserted into the operating channel 101 until its end contacts or is spaced a certain distance from the initial ring 122. Next, the clamp 121 is tightened to secure the vaginal probe 21 within the operating channel 101. The transfer mechanism 150 transfers the condom in the storage compartment 102 to the surface of the initial ring 122. The ring 122 is placed over the vaginal probe 21 and locked, moving it toward the clamp 121 with the condom 22. Figure 5 As shown, since the collar 122 closely adheres to the surface of the vaginal probe 21 during movement, the condom 22 on it will gradually stretch upward along the vaginal probe 21 until it is completely encased on the vaginal probe 21. At this point, the condom-donning operation on the vaginal probe 21 is complete. The clamping member 121 and collar 122 are then opened again, and the condom-donning vaginal probe 21 can be removed from the operating channel 101 for subsequent examinations.

[0049] After the condom-donning operation is completed, the ring 122 does not return to the initial position immediately, but stays at a position close to the clamping member 121 to facilitate the condom-undoing operation of the vaginal probe 21 after the examination.

[0050] After the examination is completed, the vaginal probe 21 is reinserted into the operating channel 101 until its distal end reaches the condom insertion position. At this point, the used condom 22 is placed on the vaginal probe 21. Next, the clamp 121 is tightened to secure the vaginal probe 21 within the operating channel 101. Simultaneously, the collar 122 is also tightened and moved toward its initial position. Under the friction and compression of the collar 122, the condom 22 on the vaginal probe 21 can be gradually removed. When the collar 122 returns to its initial position, the condom 22 is completely detached from the vaginal probe 21, completing the condom removal operation. The removed condom 22 falls to the bottom of the operating channel 101. At this point, the vaginal probe condom insertion device 100 returns to its initial state, with the vaginal probe 21 in its condom insertion position.

[0051] By repeating the above operation, the vaginal probe condom fitting device 100 can continuously perform condom fitting and removal operations on the vaginal probe 12, thereby significantly reducing labor intensity and improving examination efficiency. Moreover, no contact between the operator and the vaginal probe 21 is required during the condom fitting and removal process, thus avoiding cross contamination.

[0052] Please refer again Figure 2 In this embodiment, the shell 110 is formed with a waste bin 103 connected to the operating channel 101, and a conveyor belt 140 connecting the operating channel 101 and the waste bin 103 is provided at the bottom of the operating channel 101.

[0053] The waste bin 103 can have the same structure as the storage bin 102 and can also be opened and closed via a hatch provided on the outer wall of the housing 110. Once the removed condoms 22 fall to the bottom of the operating channel 101, they are transported to the waste bin 103 by the conveyor belt 140. This prevents the used condoms 22 from accumulating at the bottom of the operating channel 101 and breeding bacteria, further preventing cross contamination.

[0054] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the conveyor belt 140 and the waste bin 103 may not be provided, but a downwardly inclined guide chute may be provided at the bottom of the operating channel 101. Condoms 22 that fall into the bottom of the operating channel 101 will be discharged out of the housing 110 along the guide chute.

[0055] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the waste bin 103 and the storage bin 102 are located on opposite sides of the operating channel 101. This allows for the transfer of clean condoms 22 and the transport of discarded condoms 22 in two directions, thereby facilitating the layout within the housing 110 and making the vaginal probe condom fitting device 100 more compact.

[0056] Specifically, in this embodiment, the vaginal probe condom fitting device 100 further includes an exhaust duct (not shown) connected to the operating channel 101. The exhaust duct can be connected to an external exhaust fan. When the exhaust fan is in operation, it can generate strong air convection within the operating channel 101, thereby ensuring that the air within the operating channel 101 remains fresh and further preventing bacterial growth.

[0057] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the condom 22 and the silicone sleeve 23 in the storage bin 102 are coaxially stacked, and the inner diameter of the silicone sleeve 23 is larger than the outer diameter of the condom 22 .

[0058] When stored, the condom 22 and the silicone sleeve 23 are pressed together to form a sheet. The shape of the silicone sleeve 23 after unfolding is similar to that of the condom 22, but its diameter is larger. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, during the condom donning operation, since the condom 22 and the silicone sleeve 23 are coaxially stacked, when the ring 122 moves with the condom 22 toward the clamp 121 and causes the condom 22 to gradually stretch upward along the vaginal probe 21, the silicone sleeve 23 will also gradually unfold upward along the vaginal probe 21 until it is completely covered on the vaginal probe 21. After the condom donning operation is completed, the clamp 121 and the ring 122 are opened again, and the vaginal probe 21 can be pulled out of the operating channel 101. Figure 7 As shown, the silicone sleeve 23 does not fit tightly around the vaginal probe 21 due to its larger inner diameter, and thus remains in the operating channel 101 .

[0059] After the examination is complete, the vaginal probe 21 is reinserted into the operating channel 101 for the condom removal procedure. Since the silicone sleeve 23 from the previous application remains within the operating channel 101, the vaginal probe 21 is inserted into the silicone sleeve 23. As the collar 122 descends and squeezes the condom 22, the silicone sleeve 23 on the vaginal probe 21 is gradually removed. When the collar 122 returns to its initial position, the silicone sleeve 23 is removed along with the condom 22.

[0060] Thus, the sleeve 122 does not come into direct contact with the condom 22 during the process of putting on and taking off the condom. Therefore, even if there is secretion left on the condom 22 on the vaginal probe 21 after the examination, it will not contaminate the clean condom 22, further avoiding cross contamination.

[0061] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the wearing and removing mechanism 120 further includes a retaining ring 123 that can be tightened or opened. The retaining ring 123 is disposed around the outer periphery of the collar 122 and can slide synchronously with the collar 122 .

[0062] The retaining ring 123 is typically a metal ring, which may be annular. The inner diameter of the retaining ring 123 is larger than the outer diameter of the collar 122 when it is tightened. Furthermore, when the collar 122 is opened, the retaining ring 123 can still be placed over the silicone sleeve 23, thereby shaping the silicone sleeve 23. When the vaginal probe 21 is removed, the silicone sleeve 23 remaining in the operating channel 101 is supported by the retaining ring 123 and prevents it from tipping or tilting, thereby ensuring that the vaginal probe 21 can be smoothly inserted into the silicone sleeve 23 after the examination is completed.

[0063] In this embodiment, the vaginal probe condom device 100 also includes a horizontal plate 130 arranged in the operating channel 101 and dividing the operating channel 101 into an upper cavity and a lower cavity. The ring 122 is located on the side of the horizontal plate 130 facing the clamping member 121, and the horizontal plate 130 can slide along the axial direction of the operating channel 101.

[0064] Specifically, the horizontal plate 130 can be mounted on the inner wall of the operating channel 101 via guide rails, with the lower cavity located near the bottom of the operating channel 101 and the upper cavity located near the entrance of the operating channel 101. The horizontal plate 130 supports the vaginal probe 21 in the operating channel 101. After the vaginal probe 21 is fitted with a condom, the horizontal plate 130 slides toward the entrance of the operating channel 101, thereby extending the vaginal probe 21, the condom 22, and the silicone sleeve 23 attached thereto, out of the entrance of the operating channel 101.

[0065] like Figure 7As shown, after the vaginal probe 21 is removed, the silicone sleeve 23 remaining in the operating channel 101, supported by the horizontal plate 130, partially protrudes from the entrance of the operating channel 101. Therefore, when the vaginal probe 21 is reinserted into the operating channel 101 after the examination, the silicone sleeve 23 effectively prevents the condom 22 on the vaginal probe 21 from contacting the edge of the entrance of the operating channel 101, thereby further preventing cross contamination.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a circular groove (not shown) is formed in the middle of the horizontal plate 130 and is coaxial with the operating channel 101. When the horizontal plate 130 supports the silicone sleeve 23 and the vaginal probe 21, the ends of the silicone sleeve 23 and the vaginal probe 21 fall into the circular groove, which effectively limits the position of the silicone sleeve 23 and the vaginal probe 21, thereby maintaining the stability of the position of the silicone sleeve 23 and the vaginal probe 21.

[0067] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the transverse plate 130 is operable to be opened so that the upper cavity communicates with the lower cavity.

[0068] Specifically, the horizontal plate 130 can be constructed from multiple panels, each supported by hydraulic rods and gas springs. Driven by a driver, the panels can move relative to each other, opening or closing the horizontal plate 130. When the horizontal plate 130 is opened, the upper and lower chambers communicate. Thus, discarded condoms 22 can pass through the horizontal plate 130 and fall into the lower chamber, i.e., the bottom of the operating channel 101.

[0069] After the removal of the condom is completed, the horizontal plate 130 will be closed again. In this way, the horizontal plate 130, while playing a supporting role, can also play an isolation role, thereby avoiding the discarded condom to pollute the clean condom and vaginal probe 21 in the upper cavity.

[0070] In the vaginal probe condom-applying device 100, the unprotected vaginal probe 21 can be inserted into the operating channel 101 and secured therein by the clamp 121. A transfer mechanism 150 transfers the condom 22 from the storage compartment 102 to the surface of the ring 122, which is located in the initial position. As the ring 122 moves toward the clamp 121, the condom gradually stretches upward along the vaginal probe 21 until it is fully encased. After the examination is completed, the condom-applying vaginal probe 21 is reinserted into the operating channel 101 and secured by the clamp 121. The ring 122, after being tightened and moved toward its initial position, gradually removes the condom 22 from the vaginal probe 21. When the ring 122 returns to its initial position, the condom 22 is completely detached from the vaginal probe 21. By repeating this process, the vaginal probe condom-applying device 100 can continuously apply and remove condoms, significantly improving examination efficiency.

[0071] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0072] The above-described embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention, and while their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the patent for this invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
