[0034] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the present embodiment proposes a multifunctional tongue depressor diagnosis and treatment device, comprising an arc plate 1, a tongue depressor 2, and a limiting plate 3, wherein the tongue depressor 2 is arranged on the arc plate 1, and the limiting plate 3 is rotatably mounted on the arc plate 1. In addition, the device further comprises at least one set of driving components 4, wherein the driving components 4 can be used to drive the limiting plate 3 to rotate and make the arc plate 1 and the limiting plate 2 open at a certain angle. In addition, a catheter 5 is further provided on the tongue depressor 2, wherein the catheter 5 can be extended into the patient's stomach, and the hardness of the catheter is Shore C80-Shore C100; an optical lens 6 and an image sensor 7 are provided at the end of the catheter 5, and a built-in There is a guide wire 51, which is electrically connected to the optical lens 6 and the image sensor 7. The guide wire 51 can be used to transmit the signals collected by the optical lens 6 and the image sensor 7 to an external terminal device; in addition, an ultrasonic transducer 52 is provided on the side of the catheter 5 close to the optical lens 6 and the image sensor 7, and a balloon assembly 9 is provided on the catheter 5. The balloon assembly 9 can be used to position the ultrasonic transducer 52. An inflation assembly 8 is installed on the tongue depressor 2, and the inflation assembly 8 can be used to inflate the balloon assembly 9. A cooling assembly 10 is also provided on the catheter 5, and the cooling assembly 10 can be used to cool the ultrasonic transducer 52. By setting an arc plate 1, and setting a tongue depressor 2 and a limit plate 3 on the arc plate 1, the limit plate 3 can be driven to rotate by the driving component 4 so that a certain opening angle is formed between the limit plate 3 and the arc plate 1, so that the limit plate 3 can abut against the patient's upper teeth, the arc plate 1 can abut against the patient's lower teeth, and the tongue depressor 2 can press the patient's tongue, thereby providing convenience for subsequent examinations; through the optical lens 6 and the image sensor 7 on the catheter 5, the patient's stomach can be imaged, and the image acquisition signal can be transmitted to the external terminal device through the guide wire 51 for medical staff to review; by setting an ultrasonic transducer 52, the target position such as the gastric mass acquired by the patient's image can be ablated, thereby realizing the integration of examination, diagnosis and treatment, and reducing the situation of secondary invasion of the patient's esophagus. Occurrence, reducing the patient's discomfort; by providing the balloon component 9 and the inflation component 8, the balloon component 9 can be used to position the ultrasonic transducer 52 on the one hand, so that the ultrasonic transducer 52 can be used to ablate the target point, and on the other hand, the balloon component 9 can quickly drive the catheter 5 into the stomach when it is continuously inflated, thereby improving the detection efficiency; by providing the cooling component 10, the ultrasonic transducer 52 can be cooled to protect the stomach lining and blood vessels from damage, and to avoid overheating of the ultrasonic transducer 52 and affecting its service life; by selecting a suitable hardness for the catheter 5, the above-mentioned structural parts can be effectively supported, and some of the above-mentioned structural parts are arranged on the tongue depressor 2, which increases the weight of the tongue depressor 2, so that the patient's tongue can be better pressed to avoid the patient's tongue affecting the examination.

[0035] In the present application, the optical lens 6 and the image sensor 7 are an integrated structure.

[0036] For further information, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the balloon assembly 9 includes a first balloon 91 and a second balloon 92, which are arranged on the catheter 5 and are spaced apart on both sides of the ultrasonic transducer 52, and the volume of the first balloon 91 is larger than the volume of the second balloon 92. The inflation assembly 8 includes an inflation box 81 and an inflation conduit 82, the inflation box 81 is arranged on the arc plate 1, and the inflation conduit 82 is arranged in the catheter 5, and the inflation conduit 82 can connect the inflation box 81 with the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92 respectively. In this way, the gas in the inflation box 81 can be filled into the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92 through the inflation catheter 82. By continuously inflating the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92, the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92 can drive the catheter 5 to extend into the patient's tail, thereby improving the detection efficiency; when moving to a suitable position, the ultrasonic transducer 52 can be positioned by forming two fixed points in the patient's body, so that the ultrasonic transducer 52 can better ablate the gastric target; because the volume of the first balloon 91 is larger than the volume of the second balloon 92, on the one hand, it can better adapt to the patient's gastric structure; on the other hand, it can also provide better support for the end of the catheter 5.

[0037] In the present application, by selecting a catheter 5 with higher hardness and providing a first balloon 91 and a second balloon 92 on the catheter 5, by selecting the material of the catheter 5 itself and the coordinated cooperation of the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92, the catheter 5 has better supporting force and can effectively support the various structural parts on the catheter 5.

[0038] For further information, see Figure 3 As shown, the inflation assembly 8 further includes a valve body 83, which is mounted on the tongue depressor 2 and located at the tail end of the catheter 5. By setting the valve body 83, the gas flow to the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92 can be controlled, and the volume of the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92 can be adjusted according to actual conditions; and by setting the valve body 83 on the tongue depressor 2, the weight of the tongue depressor 2 is further increased, so that the tongue depressor 2 can be pressed better.

[0039] For further information, see Figure 4As shown, the first balloon 91 is provided with a first displacement sensor (not shown in the drawings), and the second balloon 92 is provided with a second displacement sensor (not shown in the drawings). By providing the first displacement sensor and the second displacement sensor, the positions of the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92 can be detected in real time, so that the working range of the ultrasonic transducer 52 can be obtained, and by providing the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92, the sizes of the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92 can be adjusted in real time according to actual conditions, and the working range of the ultrasonic transducer 52 can be adjusted in real time; that is, when the detected stomach mass is large, the volume of the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92 can be reduced by control, so that the ultrasonic transducer 52 has a larger working surface, and the large mass can be quickly detumescent; when the detected stomach mass is small, the volume of the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92 can be increased by control, and the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92 can cover part of the working surface of the ultrasonic transducer 52 after expanding, so as to prevent other parts of the stomach from being irradiated by ultrasound.

[0040] In the present application, the ultrasonic transducer 52 is composed of a plurality of transducer units, each of which can be independently controlled. Therefore, the working number of the transducer units can be controlled in a planned manner according to the size of the target, thereby reducing the amount of ultrasonic radiation received by the patient.

[0041] In the present application, when the optical lens 6 and the image sensor 7 capture the target position of the tumor in the patient's stomach, this is used as the starting point, and the position is determined by capturing the first displacement sensor, and then the catheter 5 continues to be moved so that the ultrasonic transducer 52 moves to the starting position (i.e., the target position) for ablation treatment; by capturing the position of the second displacement sensor, it can be determined whether the ultrasonic transducer 52 deviates from the target position.

[0042] For further information, see Figure 2 As shown, the tongue depressor 2 is also provided with a positioning platform 21 for positioning the air-filled conduit 82. Specifically, a positioning hole is provided on the positioning platform 21, and the air-filled conduit 82 can pass through the positioning hole. In this way, the air-filled conduit 82 can be positioned through the positioning hole on the positioning platform 21.

[0043] For further information, see Figure 4 As shown, the inflation catheter 82 includes a catheter body 821, a first branch tube 822, and a second branch tube 823. The first branch tube 822 and the second branch tube 823 are respectively connected to the catheter body 821. The first branch tube 822 extends into the first balloon 91, and the second branch tube 823 extends into the second balloon 92. The diameter of the first branch tube 822 is larger than the diameter of the second branch tube 823. In this way, the first balloon 91 and the second balloon 92 can be inflated simultaneously through the first branch tube 822 and the second branch tube 823.

[0044] For further information, see Figure 6 As shown, the cooling assembly 10 includes a cooling hose 101, a cooling pipe 102, and a coolant pusher 103. The cooling hose 101 is arranged in the conduit 5 and can extend into the ultrasonic transducer 52. The cooling pipe 102 is used to communicate with the inlet and outlet of the cooling hose 101, so as to form a closed cooling loop; the coolant pusher 103 is arranged on one side of the conduit 5 close to the valve body 83. In this way, the coolant is injected into the cooling pipe 102 through the coolant pusher 103, and flows from the cooling pipe 102 to the cooling hose 101, and the cooling hose 101 further cools the ultrasonic transducer 52. Preferably, the coolant is cooling water.

[0045] Preferably, the cooling assembly 10 further includes a negative pressure pump, which is disposed on the cooling pipe 102. By providing the negative pressure pump, the flow of the coolant can be accelerated by the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure pump, thereby improving the cooling effect on the ultrasonic transducer 52.

[0046] Preferably, the coolant pusher 103 is a needle-shaped structure, and a scale for observing the coolant dosage is provided on the coolant pusher 103. In this way, the amount of coolant added can be observed through the scale, so as to provide a reference for the subsequent amount of addition.

[0047] For further information, see Figure 1 As shown, the driving assembly 4 includes two fixed plates 41, which are arranged on the arc plate 1 at intervals, and a screw rod 42 is rotatably installed between the two fixed plates 41, and a slide plate 43 is slidably installed on the screw rod 42. In addition, the driving assembly 4 also includes a connecting plate 44 and a driving motor 45, and the connecting plate 44 can be hinged with the slide plate 43 and the limiting plate 3 respectively, and the driving motor 45 can drive the screw rod 42 to rotate. In this way, the screw rod 42 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 45, and the screw rod 42 drives the slide plate 43 to move, and the slide plate 43 pushes the connecting plate 44 to move, and the connecting plate 44 then pushes the limiting plate 3 to move, so that the limiting plate 3 and the arc plate 1 are opened at a certain angle, so as to fix the patient's mouth shape; by setting the screw rod 42, the screw rod 42 and the slide plate 43 can be limited and fixed through the threaded connection between the screw rod 42 and the slide plate 43, which is simple and convenient.

[0048] For further information, see Figure 1 As shown, the driving assembly 4 further includes a bracket 46 and a controller 47. The driving motor 45 is arranged on the bracket 46, and the controller 47 is electrically connected to the driving motor 45. In this way, the driving motor 45 is controlled by the controller to work, and the driving motor 45 then drives the screw rod 42 to rotate; by providing the bracket 46, the driving motor 45 can be better supported, ensuring the stability of the driving motor 45 during operation.

[0049] For further information, see Figure 2 As shown, a pair of fixing bosses 31 are provided on the arc plate 1 and the limiting plate 3, and the fixing bosses 31 can be used to fix the upper teeth and lower teeth of the patient. By providing a pair of fixing bosses 31, the patient's mouth shape can be better fixed.
