DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0017] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Example 1, refer to Figures 1-6 For the first embodiment of the application, a disposable electronic vaginal speculum is provided, which comprises a handle shell 1 and a connecting base 2, further comprises an inspection probe 3 fixedly installed on the side wall of the connecting base 2, further comprises a cleaning unit installed on the handle shell 1, the cleaning unit comprises a wiping component and a control component installed on the handle shell 1.
[0019] The wiping component comprises a mounting seat 101 fixedly installed on the lower end of the outer wall of the handle shell 1, a connecting hose 102 fixedly installed on the side wall of the mounting seat 101, a variable gas tank 103 fixedly installed on one end of the connecting hose 102, a clamping plate 104 fixedly installed on the upper end of the variable gas tank 103, variable pressure strips 105 fixedly installed on both sides of the variable gas tank 103, a piston block 106 slidingly installed on the inner wall of the variable pressure strip 105, and a movable rod 107 fixedly installed on the upper end of the piston block 106.
[0020] One end of the connecting hose 102 is in communication with the inside of the variable gas tank 103, the lower ends of the two variable pressure strips 105 are in communication with the inside of the variable gas tank 103, a cleaning assembly is installed between the two movable rods 107, and a clamping member is installed on the outer wall of the connecting hose 102.
[0021] The cleaning assembly comprises a connecting plate 201 fixedly installed on the upper end of the two movable rods 107, vertical rods 202 fixedly installed on the side walls of the two connecting plates 201, and a cleaning roller 203 fixedly installed between the two vertical rods 202. The clamping member comprises two clamping seats 204 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting hose 102, and the upper end of each clamping seat 204 is provided with a clamping circular groove 205 with a radius equal to that of the inspection probe 3, and the clamping seat 204 is made of plastic.
[0022] Specifically, the cleaning unit is used for cleaning the head of the inspection probe 3. During the process of placing the inspection probe 3 into the patient's vagina, female secretions exist in the patient's vagina under normal physiological conditions. When the inspection probe 3 enters the patient's vagina, it may touch the secretions in the vagina. These secretions are all adhesive. If the secretions adhere to the head of the inspection probe 3, the medical staff can clean the secretions adhered to the inspection probe 3 by controlling the wiping component, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the lens and ensure the clarity of the data picture after transmission.
[0023] The connecting hose 102 is used for compressing the gas flow into the variable gas tank 103 to increase the pressure in the variable gas tank 103. When the pressure in the variable gas tank 103 is greater than the gravity of the two piston blocks 106, the two piston blocks 106 move upward along the vertical direction under the action of the pressure. During the movement, the piston blocks 106 drive the corresponding vertical rods 202 and the cleaning assembly to move upward synchronously. During the movement, the cleaning roller 203 cleans the secretions adhered to the lens of the inspection probe 3, so as to ensure the clarity of the picture transmitted back. The connecting hose 102 is made of rubber material, so that the connecting hose 102 can be adaptively bent, and the rubber has smaller stimulation to the patient's vagina. Since the inspection probe 3 is disposable, before use, the connecting hose 102 needs to be installed on the outer wall of the inspection probe 3 through the clamping seat 204, and the head of the inspection probe 3 needs to be placed at the front end of the clamping plate 104, so that the cleaning roller 203 is always in close contact with the lens of the inspection probe 3.
[0024] During use, when the medical staff places the inspection probe 3 in the patient's vagina, the secretions in the patient's vagina may adhere to the lens of the inspection probe 3. At this time, the transmitted picture is blurred, and the medical staff cannot accurately observe the situation in the patient's vagina through the picture. At this time, the medical staff changes the pressure in the variable gas tank 103. When the pressure in the variable gas tank 103 increases, the piston blocks 106 in the two variable pressure strips 105 slide upward under the action of gravity, and during the sliding process, the movable rods 107 drive the two vertical rods 202 to move synchronously. During the movement of the vertical rods 202, the cleaning roller 203 moves synchronously. During the movement of the cleaning roller 203, the lens of the inspection probe 3 is cleaned, so as to ensure that the picture transmitted back is clear and visible.
[0025] Embodiment 2, reference Figures 3-7 For the second embodiment of the application, which is different from the first embodiment, the control component includes a control button 301 slidingly mounted on the upper end of the handle shell 1, a synchronization rod 302 fixedly mounted on the lower end of the control button 301, a pressure conversion cylinder 303 fixedly mounted inside the handle shell 1, a pressure conversion plate 304 slidingly mounted on the inner wall of the pressure conversion cylinder 303, the lower end of the synchronization rod 302 is fixedly connected with the upper end of the pressure conversion plate 304, and a reset component is mounted on the outer wall of the synchronization rod 302. The reset component includes a reset plate 401 fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the synchronization rod 302, and a reset spring 402 fixedly mounted between the reset plate 401 and the handle shell 1. The lower end of the pressure conversion cylinder 303 is fixedly mounted on a short tube, and the lower end of the short tube is fixedly communicated with one end of the connecting hose 102.
[0026] Specifically, the medical staff controls the wiping component through the control component, and the specific working principle is as follows: when the medical staff observes that the background picture appears blurred, and needs to clean and wipe the surface of the examination probe 3, the worker only needs to press the control button 301, the control button 301 moves downward in the process of sliding, and the synchronization rod 302 moves downward synchronously, thereby extruding the space inside the pressure conversion cylinder 303, the gas inside the pressure conversion cylinder 303 enters into the variable gas tank 103 through the connecting hose 102, and then the surface of the probe is cleaned through the wiping component.
[0027] In use, the medical staff holds the handle shell 1, and presses the control button 301 through the thumb, the control button 301 drives the synchronization rod 302 to move synchronously in the process of moving downward, and the synchronization rod 302 drives the pressure conversion plate 304 to move downward in the process of moving, thereby extruding the gas inside the pressure conversion cylinder 303 to the inside of the connecting hose 102, so that the gas pressure inside the variable gas tank 103 increases, and the piston block 106 moves upward under the action of the pressure, thereby cleaning the secretion adhered on the examination probe 3 through the wiping component.
[0028] The remaining structure is the same as that of embodiment 1.
[0029] Embodiment 3, reference Figures 1-2 For the third embodiment of the application, which is different from the second embodiment, the side wall of the handle shell 1 is provided with a clamping groove 403, the side wall of the connecting base 2 is fixedly provided with a clamping block 404, and the clamping groove 403 and the clamping block 404 are matched with each other to clamp and install the connecting base 2 in the handle shell 1. The connecting base 2 and the examination probe 3 are disposable, and the handle shell 1 is reusable. Specifically, the examination probe 3 is set to be disposable, which is beneficial to the cleanliness and hygiene during the patient examination, is convenient for the use and replacement of the medical staff, and effectively improves the overall practicability.
[0030] The rest of the structure is the same as that of Example 2.
[0031] In combination of Examples 1-3, the working principle of the present application is as follows: when the medical staff places the examination probe 3 inside the patient's vagina, the secretions inside the patient's vagina may adhere to the lens of the examination probe 3, at which time the transmitted picture is blurred, and the medical staff cannot accurately observe the situation inside the patient's vagina through the picture.
[0032] The medical staff holds the handle shell 1 and presses the control button 301 with the thumb, the control button 301 drives the synchronous rod 302 to move synchronously downward during the movement, and the synchronous rod 302 drives the pressure changing plate 304 to move downward during the movement, so as to extrude the gas inside the pressure changing cylinder 303 to the inside of the connecting hose 102, so that the air pressure inside the pressure changing box 103 increases, and the piston block 106 moves upward under the action of the pressure, and then the secretions adhered to the examination probe 3 are cleaned by the wiping component.
[0033] The medical staff changes the pressure inside the pressure changing box 103, when the pressure inside the pressure changing box 103 increases, the piston block 106 inside the two pressure changing strips 105 slides upward under the action of gravity during the sliding process, and the two vertical rods 202 are driven to move synchronously by the movable rod 107 during the sliding process, the cleaning roller 203 is driven to move synchronously by the vertical rod 202 during the movement, and the lens of the examination probe 3 is cleaned by the cleaning roller 203 during the movement, so as to ensure that the picture transmitted back is clear and visible.
