Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention is specifically an automated inspection device for facilitating the detection of laryngeal injuries for medical purposes. Background Art

[0002] Due to the complex physiological structure of the larynx, it cannot be directly viewed. Some special examination methods are needed for laryngeal examination, such as indirect laryngoscope, direct laryngoscope, fiber laryngoscope, electronic laryngoscope, stroboscopic laryngoscope, ultra-high-speed film photography, sonogram or glottomogram; the electronic laryngoscope is similar in appearance to the fiber laryngoscope, and is also a hose fiber endoscope. It has been widely used in clinical practice in recent years. The electronic laryngoscope endoscopic imaging system is equipped with a CCD chip at the tip of the endoscope, which serves as an ultra-small camera. The image obtained is converted into a point signal and then transmitted. The electronic guidance system replaces the optical fiber bundle and is connected to the digital image processing system to obtain a clearer image.

[0003] In traditional laryngoscope examination, the examinee sits or lies on a medical chair, and the doctor uses a tongue depressor to press the patient's tongue. The doctor holds the operating part of the scope with his left hand and the distal end of the scope with his right hand, enters the nasopharynx along the nasal cavity floor or middle nasal meatus, and adjusts the curvature of the scope to bend downward to observe the tongue root, epiglottis, ventricular band, vocal cords and subglottic mucosal tissue, etc. However, the following problems still exist:

[0004] 1. When the doctor holds the laryngoscope to examine the throat, his hands tend to shake, which increases the contact between the laryngoscope and the throat wall, causing the examinee to vomit and feel uncomfortable, seriously affecting the smooth progress of the throat examination;

[0005] 2. During the laryngoscope insertion process, the person being examined will see this process, which can easily cause physical and psychological discomfort to the person being examined. In addition, during the throat examination, the person being examined needs to open his mouth wide, and there is no support at the chin, which can easily cause mouth fatigue, causing him to close his mouth, affecting the smooth progress of the throat examination.

[0006] 3. When the doctor holds a laryngoscope and a tongue depressor to examine the throat, the doctor's own palm often affects the view of the pharynx, making the examination inconvenient or resulting in misdiagnosis due to unclear vision. In addition, the front part of the tongue depressor is relatively hard and feels very uncomfortable when pressed on the patient's tongue. Summary of the invention
