Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, and more specifically, to a pediatric tongue depressor. Background Technology

[0002] A tongue depressor is a medical device used for examining and collecting samples from the oral cavity and throat. It is a flat, elongated tool with one curved end, allowing doctors or nurses to place it over the patient's tongue and hold the other end to stabilize the tongue for examination. Children often find it difficult to cooperate during these examinations, making a convenient and quick tongue depressor essential.

[0003] Chinese patent CN109091101B discloses a tongue depressor for pediatric use, comprising a long strip, a sliding block, a square cylinder, a first piston, a connecting rod, a second piston, a connecting rod, a push block, a first rotating shaft, a clamping plate, and a compaction plate; the lower part of the long strip has a slide rail, and the sliding block is slidably arranged in the slide rail; the square cylinder is located in the middle of the rear side of the long strip, and the lower part of the square cylinder is provided with a first piston; the lower part of the first piston is connected to a connecting rod, and the lower end of the connecting rod is connected to the sliding block.

[0004] The aforementioned patent provides a pediatric tongue depressor with a large contact area with the tongue, capable of illuminating the oral cavity, and reusable. However, due to its complex structure, it is not easy to disinfect thoroughly, and the device is not easy to disassemble. Each disinfection requires the entire device to be disinfected, which necessitates the production of multiple such tongue depressors to meet the needs of hospital examinations, resulting in high production and usage costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a pediatric tongue depressor. The tongue depressor is installed in an integrated structure with a lighting component and an operating panel to complete the tongue depressor examination. This is convenient and quick, and the doctor does not need to apply light while depressing the tongue, freeing up one hand to perform other operations.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: a pediatric tongue depressor, comprising a depressor plate, an operating plate, and a lighting component, wherein the depressor plate is movably connected to the bottom surface of the operating plate, the lighting component is movably connected to the top surface of the operating plate, a locking component is provided at the connection point between the lighting component and the operating plate, a card plate is provided on one side of the operating plate away from the locking component, and a battery and a charging port are embedded in the operating plate near the card plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the device, the doctor fixes the pressure plate to the bottom of the operating board and secures it with a clamp; the lighting component is fixed to the top of the pressure plate using a locking assembly, and then the doctor can hold the operating board to perform tongue depression and observation operations; after the operation is completed, the push plate is removed, and the pressure plate is removed for disinfection and reuse. Since the pressure plate is the main part that comes into contact with the human body, it should be replaced and disinfected in a timely manner, while the operating board and lighting component can be disinfected periodically; when the battery power is low, the operating board can also be charged through the charging port.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the top surface of the pressure plate is provided with a hemispherical protrusion, and two electrodes are symmetrically embedded on the outer surface of the hemispherical protrusion, the line connecting the two electrodes is parallel to the axis of the pressure plate, and a magnet is embedded on the top surface of the hemispherical protrusion.

[0009] The invention is further configured such that: the lighting assembly includes a hemispherical groove, a lamp post, and a lighting lamp; the two ends of the lamp post are respectively connected to the outer surface of the hemispherical groove and the lighting lamp; two electrodes are symmetrically arranged on the inner surface of the hemispherical groove; a magnet with the opposite polarity to the first magnet is arranged on the top surface of the hemispherical groove; the operating plate is provided with a cylindrical bearing away from the charging port; the cylindrical bearing is rotatably connected to the hemispherical groove; the inner diameter of the hemispherical groove is the same as the inner diameter of the cylindrical bearing and the outer diameter of the hemispherical protrusion.

[0010] The invention is further configured such that: the locking structure includes a T-shaped push-pull rod, which passes through the side wall of the hemispherical groove and is fixedly connected to a hemispherical locking block; the bearing is provided with a hemispherical locking groove with the same diameter as the hemispherical locking block; the hemispherical locking block is symmetrically provided with two limiting grooves, each of which is provided with a spring, one end of which is fixedly connected to the hemispherical locking block; the hemispherical groove is provided with a notch for the hemispherical locking block to move, and two hollow limiting rods are symmetrically provided in the notch; the two limiting rods are slidably inserted into the two limiting grooves respectively, and the other end of the spring passes through the limiting rod and is fixedly connected to the hemispherical groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the doctor first rotates the lighting lamp to the opposite end using the lamp post. At this time, when the hemispherical locking block moves to the position of the hemispherical locking slot, it will automatically engage with the hemispherical locking slot under the action of the spring, thereby fixing the hemispherical groove and completing the preparation of the lighting component. When it is necessary to store it, the hemispherical locking block is moved out of the hemispherical locking slot by pulling the T-shaped push rod and rotating the hemispherical groove, and the lamp post is rotated to the top of the control panel to complete the storage.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the bottom surface of the operation panel is provided with a U-shaped slot near the battery, one side wall of the U-shaped slot is open, a T-shaped limiting plate is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the plate, the operation panel is provided with a T-shaped limiting slot for the T-shaped limiting plate to move, and the T-shaped limiting slot passes through the U-shaped slot.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, after the lighting components are prepared, the hemispherical groove is placed on the protrusion of the pressure plate by holding the operating plate. Magnet one and magnet two attract each other to complete the initial positioning. Then, the tail end of the pressure plate is rotated to rotate it into the U-shaped slot. The plate is pushed to contact the pressure plate to complete the locking. At this time, the two electrodes one and two electrodes two are in contact respectively, the circuit is connected, the lighting lamp is lit, and the tongue-pressing inspection operation can be performed immediately.

[0014] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The pediatric tongue depressor of the present invention is equipped with an integrated structure of lighting components and operating panel for installation. This allows for convenient and quick tongue depressor examination, eliminating the need for doctors to apply lighting while depressing the tongue, thus freeing up one hand for other operations. The lighting component of the pediatric tongue depressor of this invention is equipped with a contact-type on / off operation. When the depressor is installed, electrode one contacts electrode two to turn on the power and the light is on; when the depressor is removed, the light is off, saving energy. The lighting component can be automatically locked by a locking structure. After the inspection is completed, the lighting component can be easily rotated and placed on the top of the operation panel for storage by pulling out the T-shaped push rod, reducing the size of the equipment while protecting the light and increasing its service life. The pediatric tongue depressor of the present invention is positioned by the mutual attraction of magnet one and magnet two. It can be rotated into the U-shaped slot for fixation by simply moving the tail of the depressor, and is locked by sliding the locking plate. It is convenient, quick and stable.

A hemispherical protrusion 12 is provided on the top surface of the depressor plate 1, and two electrodes 13 are symmetrically embedded on the outer surface of the hemispherical protrusion 12. The line connecting the two electrodes 13 is parallel to the line connecting the two electrodes 13. On the axis of pressure plate 1, a magnet 14 is embedded in the top surface of a hemispherical protrusion 12; the lighting assembly 6 includes a hemispherical groove 61, a lamp post 65, and a lighting lamp 66. The lamp post 65 is connected at both ends to the outer surface of the hemispherical groove 61 and the lighting lamp 66, respectively. Two electrodes 62 are symmetrically arranged on the inner surface of the hemispherical groove 61, and a magnet 63 with the opposite polarity to magnet 14 is provided on the top surface of the inner surface of the hemispherical groove 61; the operation plate 2 has a cylindrical bearing 23 located away from the charging port 4, and the cylindrical bearing 23 is rotatably connected to the hemispherical groove 61.
