[0027] Combined with attachment Figures 1-7 The clinical prenatal examination device comprises a body 10 and a miniature camera 13 mounted at the end of the body 10. The body 10 is inserted into the vagina of a pregnant woman, and the miniature camera 13 is aligned with the cervix for convenient observation. To optimize the insertion effect, the body 10 is made into two parts: an insertion head 12 and a column 11. The insertion head 12 is conical or circular, which facilitates entry into the vagina of a pregnant woman and reduces damage to the vagina. The column 11 is cylindrical and is used to fit the vagina to form a support, thereby ensuring the stability of the miniature camera 13 during the observation process.

[0028] In order to further optimize the stability of the micro camera 13 during the observation process and enable direct sampling after observation, a plurality of grooves 14 are evenly opened on the column 11, and a working assembly 50 is set in the groove 14. The working assembly 50 includes a power assembly 60 and a placement table 39 installed on the power assembly 60. A plurality of cotton swab assemblies are set on the placement table 39. The power assembly 60 is used to drive the placement table 39 to drive the cotton swab assembly to extend first and then retract. When the cotton swab assembly is extended, it can abut against the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman, thereby achieving more stable support by abutting against the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman, thereby making the observation process of the micro camera 13 more stable. When the cotton swab assembly is retracted, it will bring down the secretions on the vagina of the pregnant woman;

[0029] The power assembly 60 includes a pair of first fixed heads 51 fixed inside the placement table 39 and a pair of second fixed heads 45 fixed on the inner wall of the groove 14. A driven rod 44 is arranged between the first fixed head 51 and the second fixed head 45 on the same side. One end of the driven rod 44 is hinged to the first fixed head 51, and the other end of the driven rod 44 is hinged to the second fixed head 45. A pair of third fixed heads 38 are also fixed inside the placement table 39, and a pair of fourth fixed heads 37 are also fixed on the inner wall of the groove 14. A driving rod 36 is arranged between the fourth fixed head 37 and the third fixed head 38 on the same side. One end of the driving rod 36 is hinged to the fourth fixed head 37, and the other end of the driving rod 36 is hinged to the third fixed head 38. The driving rod 36 is arranged parallel to the driven rod 44. A gear shaft 35 is fixed between the driving rods 36, and a gear 34 is fixed on the gear shaft 35. Each of the gears 34 is driven to rotate by a driving assembly. After the gear 34 rotates, it drives the gear shaft 35 to rotate. The gear shaft 35 drives the driving rod 36 to rotate. The cooperative rotation of the driving rod 36 and the driven rod 44 drives the placement table 39 to first extend obliquely outwards and then retract obliquely inwards, so that the cotton swab assembly is attached to the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman for a period of time to optimize the effect of taking the secretion;

[0030] The driving assembly includes an activity cavity 47 opened on one side of the insertion head 12. An activity block 28 is slidably installed in the fourth fixed head 37. A communication groove 22 communicating with each of the grooves 14 is opened around the activity cavity 47. A rack 33 located in each of the communication grooves 22 is fixed on the activity block 28. Each of the racks 33 meshes with one of the gears 34. A connecting rod 23 is fixed on one side of the activity block 28. The end of the connecting rod 23 is rotatably installed with a handle 24 through a bearing. A fixing strip 25 is fixed on the handle 24, and a bolt 26 is fixed on the fixing strip 25. An arc-shaped groove 30 is opened on the column 11. The bolt 26 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 30. A first jack 31 and a second jack 32 are opened on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 30;

[0031] Manually rotate the handle 24, driving the fixed bar 25 and the bolt 26 to rotate until the bolt 26 aligns with the first jack 31. Manually push the handle 24 to insert the bolt 26 to the bottom of the first jack 31. The movable block 28 moves along with the bolt 26, driving the rack 33 to move. The rack 33 meshes with the gear 34 to drive the gear 34 to rotate. The gear shaft 35 rotates to drive the cotton swab assembly to press against the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman. The depth design of the first jack 31 enables the cotton swab assembly to stop moving after pressing against the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman. At this time, the present application is relatively firmly fixed in the vagina of the pregnant woman (the connecting rod 23, the handle 24, and part of the device body 10 extend to the outside), and the real-time image of the uterine orifice captured by the micro camera 13 can be observed;

[0032] It should be noted that the image collected by the micro camera 13 is transmitted to the local server via wifi, and the doctor can view the image through devices such as a computer, mobile phone, or tablet connected to the local server;

[0033] Pull out the bolt 26 from the first jack 31. Manually rotate the handle 24 until the bolt 26 aligns with the second jack 32, and insert the bolt 26 to the bottom of the second jack 32. The movable block 28 moves along with the bolt 26, driving the rack 33 to move. The rack 33 meshes with the gear 34 to drive the gear 34 to rotate. The gear shaft 35 rotates to drive the placement table 39 to retract into the slot 14. During the retraction process, the cotton swab assembly collects the secretions in the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman;

[0034] A number of retaining pieces 29 are fixed on the column 11. The retaining pieces 29 are used to press against the movable block 28 to prevent the movable block 28 from coming out and can also position the movable block 28.

[0035] The cotton swab assembly includes a pair of shaft seats 16 fixed on the placement table 39. A rotating shaft 17 is rotatably installed between the shaft seats 16. A torsion spring 42 is installed between the rotating shaft 17 and the shaft seats 16. A fixed head 18 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 17. A placement head 19 is arranged on the fixed head 18. The placement head 19 has an opening and a cotton swab 20 is inserted therein. When the cotton swab assembly extends, the cotton swab 20 can press against the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman. The rotatable installation of the rotating shaft 17 and the setting of the torsion spring 42 enable each cotton swab 20 to press against different positions of the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman simultaneously;

[0036] It should be particularly noted that the placement head 19 is rotatably arranged on the fixed head 18. When the cotton swab assembly moves, since the cotton swab 20 abuts against the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman, the cotton swab 20 together with the placement head 19 rotates relative to the fixed head 18 (the cotton swab 20 and the placement head 19 are relatively tightly connected and are not prone to relative movement). After the cotton swab 20 rotates, all parts of it can contact the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman, enabling the cotton swab 20 to collect the secretions of the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman more fully;

[0037] In addition, the fixed head 18, the placement head 19, and the cotton swab 20 are inclined, so that only the end of the cotton swab 20 contacts the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman after the cotton swab assembly extends out.

[0038] The cotton swab assembly is detachably connected to the placement table 39, which is convenient for subsequent observation. Specifically: a cotton swab board 15 is arranged on the placement table 39, the shaft seats 16 of the cotton swab assembly are fixedly arranged on the cotton swab board 15, a sliding strip 43 is fixedly arranged inside the cotton swab board 15, the sliding strip 43 is slidably installed in a chute opened on the placement table 39, holes are opened on the placement table 39 and the sliding strip 43, a bolt 46 passes through the holes on the placement table 39 and the sliding strip 43, and the bolt 46 is matched with a nut 40. The placement table 39 and the sliding strip 43 are locked by the nut 40 and the bolt 46. The nut 40 is unscrewed from the bolt 46 and the bolt 46 is pulled out. At this time, the cotton swab board 15 can be removed from the placement table 39.

[0039] Usage method:

[0040] Manually insert the insertion head 12 and the column body 11 completely into the vagina of the pregnant woman, and the micro camera 13 is aimed at the uterine orifice.

[0041] Manually control the handle 24 to rotate, drive the fixed strip 25 and the plug 26 to rotate until the plug 26 is aligned with the first jack 31. Manually push the handle 24 to insert the plug 26 to the bottom of the first jack 31. The movable block 28 moves along with the plug 26, driving the rack 33 to move. The rack 33 meshes with the gear 34 to drive the gear 34 to rotate. The gear shaft 35 rotates to drive the driving rod 36 to rotate. The combined rotation of the driving rod 36 and the driven rod 44 drives the placement table 39 to extend obliquely outwards first. At this time, the cotton swab 20 abuts against the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman. The depth design of the first jack 31 enables the cotton swab 20 to stop moving after abutting against the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman, and the real-time image of the uterine orifice captured by the micro camera 13 can be observed.

[0042] After the observation is completed, pull out the bolt 26 from the first jack 31, manually rotate the handle 24 until the bolt 26 is aligned with the second jack 32, insert the bolt 26 into the bottom of the second jack 32, the movable block 28 moves with the bolt 26, drives the rack 33 to move, the rack 33 meshes with the gear 34 to drive the gear 34 to rotate, and the gear shaft 35 rotates to drive the placement table 39 to retract into the slot 14. During the retraction process, the cotton swab 20 collects the secretions in the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman. When the cotton swab assembly moves, since the cotton swab 20 abuts against the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman, the cotton swab 20 together with the placement head 19 rotates relative to the fixed head 18. After the cotton swab 20 rotates, all parts of it can contact the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman, so that the cotton swab 20 can collect the secretions of the vaginal wall of the pregnant woman more fully.

[0043] After the collection is completed, manually remove this application from the vagina of the pregnant woman, unscrew the nut 40 from the bolt 46 and pull out the bolt 46. At this time, the cotton swab plate 15 can be removed from the placement table 39, and each cotton swab 20 can be pulled out to analyze the secretion conditions and differences of each part in the vagina of the pregnant woman.

[0044] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present invention and implement it, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
