AI Technical Summary
It is difficult to effectively examine the tongue root of a child without opening his or her mouth using existing technology, especially since the tongue moves around randomly, making the examination difficult.
A tongue depressor assembly for children's throat examination is designed, which includes a tongue depressor main plate, an adsorption assembly and an observation assembly. The tongue is adsorbed by the adsorption disc and the oral image is transmitted in real time by a camera. At the same time, the push-pull handle drives the tongue depressor belly plate to flip and depress the tongue, exposing the deep part of the oral cavity.
When the child does not open his mouth, it can effectively fix the tongue and observe the internal situation of the oral cavity in real time, avoid missed detection and improve inspection efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of medical auxiliary devices, and in particular to a tongue depressor component for children's throat examination. Background Art
[0002] The tongue depressor is a common auxiliary instrument for oral examination. It is long and narrow. Medical staff hold one end of the tongue depressor and insert the other end into the patient's mouth. The tongue depressor presses down the patient's tongue, making it easier for medical staff to examine surrounding organs and tissues.
[0003] It is difficult for young patients to open their mouths for examination as required by medical staff. Children usually keep their mouths tightly closed, and the tongue depressor cannot be inserted into the child's mouth to press down the tongue to expose the deep part of the mouth, making it impossible to examine the child's mouth and the deep part of the tongue root.
[0004] The invention patent application with patent application number CN114468962A discloses a pediatric tongue depressor device, comprising a main frame; an observation tube, an observation tube is provided on the top rear side of the main frame; a push rod, a push rod is slidably connected to the rear side of the main frame; a first limiting rod, the front side of the main frame is connected to the first limiting rod; a tongue depressor, a tongue depressor for limiting the tongue is provided on the upper part of the push rod; a soft pad, four soft pads for alleviating discomfort are provided on the left and right sides of the bottom of the front side of the tongue depressor; a locking mechanism, a locking mechanism for limiting the push rod is provided at the bottom of the first limiting rod; an observation mechanism, an observation mechanism for observing the internal situation of the oral cavity is connected between the first limiting rod and the main frame; the observation mechanism includes The invention comprises: a mounting plate, a mounting plate is rotatably connected to the front bottom side of the main frame; a magnifying glass, a magnifying glass is provided on the top of the mounting plate for the doctor to observe the internal situation of the oral cavity; when the doctor needs to observe the oral cavity of a child patient, the front part of the main frame 2 is first placed in the mouth of the child patient, and then the doctor manually pushes the push rod 3 forward, and the push rod 3 drives the tongue depressor 5 and the soft pad 6 to move forward. When the push rod 3 moves forward to contact the first limiting rod 4, under the guidance of the first limiting rod 4 and the slide groove, the push rod 3 drives the tongue depressor 5 and the soft pad 6 to move downward, so that the soft pad 6 and the tongue depressor 5 limit the tongue of the child patient, thereby preventing the child patient's tongue from moving around, thereby affecting the doctor's examination. The second limiting rod 72 is pressed against the push rod 3, and the second limiting rod 72 is pressed against the push rod 3. When the push rod 3 is pushed forward and contacts the second limiting rod 72, the second limiting rod 72 is squeezed, so that the second limiting rod 72 moves downward. At this time, the first linear spring 73 is stretched. When the push rod 3 moves forward and separates from the second limiting rod 72, the first linear spring 73 is reset, driving the second limiting rod 72 to move upward and reset, so that the second limiting rod 72 limits the push rod 3. In this way, the child patient can be prevented from using the tongue to push the push rod 3 back. Then the doctor's eyes are close to the observation tube 1, and the magnifying glass 86 can magnify the cause of the disease inside the child patient's mouth. The image magnified by the magnifying glass 86 It can be refracted onto the first prism 87, and then the doctor can see the image on the first prism 87 through the second prism 88, so that the doctor can know the condition of the child patient's mouth; in this patent, the tongue of the child patient is limited by a tongue depressor and a soft pad to prevent the child patient's tongue from moving around, and the inside of the child's mouth is magnified by a magnifying glass to facilitate the doctor's observation. However, during use, the overall structure of this patent is complex, the operation is cumbersome, and it is not convenient to disinfect and reuse. At the same time, if the child does not open his mouth, it is difficult to examine the inside of the child's mouth. It is difficult to completely fix the child's tongue with a tongue depressor and a soft pad, and it is difficult for the doctor to press down the root of the child's tongue to examine the deep part of the mouth.
