Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an integrated intelligent nasopharyngoscope imaging device. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial component of the upper respiratory tract, the nasopharynx and larynx possess complex and concealed physiological structures. Early diagnosis and accurate examination of related diseases are vital for treatment outcomes. With increasing environmental pollution, a faster pace of life, and an aging population, the incidence of nasopharyngeal diseases is on the rise. Early symptoms of malignant diseases such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma are often subtle, and failure to detect them promptly and accurately can easily delay optimal treatment. Therefore, nasopharyngoscopy imaging devices have become indispensable medical instruments in clinical diagnosis and treatment.

[0003] Currently, the commonly used nasopharyngoscope examination devices in clinical practice are mainly divided into fiberoptic nasopharyngoscopes and electronic nasopharyngoscopes. These devices mostly consist of separate examination probes, operating handles, display devices, and transmission lines, which have many limitations and cannot meet the needs of modern clinical precision diagnosis and treatment, convenient operation, and improved patient experience. First, existing devices have low integration levels. The examination probe, operating components, and imaging equipment need to be connected and assembled separately, which is not only cumbersome to operate and takes up treatment space, but also exposes the transmission lines, making them prone to problems such as poor contact and signal loss. This results in blurred and delayed images, affecting medical staff's accurate judgment of lesion sites. Especially in primary healthcare institutions, inexperienced medical staff are prone to missed or misdiagnosed cases due to the complexity of equipment operation. The existing devices lack ease of operation and practicality. Most devices require an external power supply to operate, have poor mobility, and cannot adapt to various diagnostic and treatment scenarios such as outpatient, emergency, and bedside examinations. During operation, medical staff need to operate multiple components simultaneously to adjust the imaging angle and clarity, which is difficult and increases the workload of medical staff. In addition, the devices lack convenient maintenance and storage structures, making daily maintenance inconvenient and easily affecting the service life of the equipment due to component wear. Furthermore, some devices do not have multi-screen display and data transmission functions, which is not conducive to case retention and collaborative diagnosis and treatment by multiple medical staff. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated intelligent nasopharyngoscope imaging device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an integrated intelligent nasopharyngoscope imaging device, comprising an operating body, an outer shell fixedly installed on one side of the operating body, an examination component inserted into the patient's throat installed on one side of the outer shell, a connector fixedly installed on one side of the operating body, and a control display component for displaying examination images fixedly installed at the end of the connector away from the operating body.

The end of the directional hose away from the driving outer tube is fixedly connected to the imaging assembly.

[0007] Preferably, the imaging assembly includes an inspection housing and a high-definition CMOS camera chip.

[0008] Preferably, an anti-fouling lens is fixedly installed inside one end of the inspection housing, an astigmatism lens is fixedly installed inside the anti-fouling lens, and a focusing lens is fixedly installed inside the anti-fouling lens. The astigmatism lens and the miniature cold light source are positioned corresponding to each other, and the focusing lens and the high-definition camera are positioned corresponding to each other.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the connecting bucket far from the flexible inner diameter insertion tube is fixedly connected to the end of the outer shell far from the operating body, and the connecting transmission line is located inside the directional hose, the driving outer tube, the flexible inner diameter insertion tube, the connecting bucket, and the outer shell.

[0010] Preferably, a maintenance cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the outer casing, and a maintenance cap is snapped into the inside of the maintenance cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, an external display interface is fixedly installed on the top of the operating body, an installation protrusion is fixedly installed on one side of the operating body, and a hanging bent rod is fixedly installed on one side of the installation protrusion.

[0012] Preferably, a control knob is rotatably mounted on the side of the operating body away from the mounting protrusion, and one end of the control knob is located inside the operating body, with the outer side of the high-definition CMOS camera chip connected to the outer side of the control knob.

[0013] Preferably, the control display assembly includes a control host, a display is fixedly mounted on one side of the control host, a control panel is mounted on one side of the control host, and a battery is mounted on one side of the control host.

[0014] Preferably, rubber protrusions are fixedly installed on both sides of the control host, and a Type-C interface is fixedly installed on one side of the control host.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: By adopting an integrated design, the main operating unit, examination components, and control imaging components are organically integrated, eliminating the need for additional assembly and splicing.

In addition, the examination component adopts a flexible inner diameter cannula design, which can flexibly adapt to the physiological curve of the human nasopharynx, minimizing irritation to the mucosa during insertion and effectively reducing patient discomfort such as nausea and coughing, thus improving patient cooperation. The imaging component is equipped with a miniature cold light source and a multi-layer lens structure. The astigmatism lens makes the light uniform and soft, avoiding strong light stimulation of the mucosa and causing damage. The anti-fouling lens prevents the internal components from being contaminated by the patient's secretions, while the focusing lens ensures the image clarity of the high-definition camera. Combined with the signal processing capabilities of the high-definition CMOS camera chip, it can clearly capture subtle lesions in the nasopharynx, providing medical staff with accurate diagnostic information and reducing missed diagnoses and misdiagnoses. The integrated and sealed connection structure can avoid cross-infection, further improving the safety of the examination. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-6This invention provides a technical solution: an integrated intelligent nasopharyngoscope imaging device, comprising an operating body 2, an outer casing 4 fixedly mounted on one side of the operating body 2, an examination component inserted into the patient's pharynx mounted on one side of the outer casing 4, a connector 15 fixedly mounted on one side of the operating body 2, and a control imaging component for displaying examination images fixedly mounted at the end of the connector 15 away from the operating body 2. The examination component includes a cannulation component and an imaging component. The cannulation component includes a connecting cup 7, a flexible inner diameter cannula 8 fixedly mounted on one side of the connecting cup 7, and a drive outer tube 20 fixedly mounted at the end of the flexible inner diameter cannula 8 away from the connecting cup 7. The drive outer tube 20 houses a miniature driver. One end of the drive outer tube 20, which is aligned with the flexible inner diameter insertion tube 8, is fixedly connected to a directional hose 19. The end of the directional hose 19 furthest from the drive outer tube 20 is fixedly connected to an imaging assembly. The imaging assembly includes an inspection housing 18 and a high-definition CMOS camera chip 21. One side of the inspection housing 18 is fixedly connected to the end of the directional hose 19 furthest from the drive outer tube 20. The high-definition CMOS camera chip 21 is slidably mounted inside the inspection housing 18. A miniature cold light source 23 is fixedly mounted on one end of the high-definition CMOS camera chip 21. A high-definition CMOS camera chip 22 is also mounted on the high-definition CMOS camera chip 21. A high-definition camera 27 is fixedly installed at one end of the housing 1. A high-definition CMOS camera chip 21 is fixedly installed at the other end away from the high-definition camera 27. A connecting transmission line 22 is fixedly installed at the other end of the housing 18. An anti-fouling lens 25 is fixedly installed inside the anti-fouling lens 25. An astigmatism lens 24 is fixedly installed inside the anti-fouling lens 25. A focusing lens 26 is fixedly installed inside the anti-fouling lens 25. The astigmatism lens 24 and the miniature cold light source 23 are positioned opposite each other. The focusing lens 26 and the high-definition camera 27 are positioned opposite each other. The end of the connecting cover 7 away from the flexible inner diameter insertion tube 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the outer cover 4 away from the operating body 2. The connecting transmission line 22 is located at the directional hose 19 and the drive The operating main body 2 has a control knob 3 rotatably mounted on the side away from the mounting protrusion 17. One end of the control knob 3 is located inside the operating main body 2. The outer side of the high-definition CMOS camera chip 21 is connected to the outer side of the control knob 3. The control display assembly includes a control host 1. A display 10 is fixedly mounted on one side of the control host 1. A control panel 11 is mounted on one side of the control host 1. A battery 12 is mounted on one side of the control host 1. Rubber protrusions 9 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the control host 1. A Type-C interface 14 is fixedly mounted on one side of the control host 1.

[0025] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows: Check the battery 12 on one side of the control host 1 to ensure that it has sufficient power to provide stable power support for the entire device. At the same time, check the Type-C interface 14, which can be connected to external devices to supplement power or transmit data as needed. Turn on the control host 1 and start the device through the control panel 11 to complete the initialization settings and ensure that the display 10, high-definition CMOS camera chip 21, miniature cold light source 23 and other components start normally. Adjust the position of the high-definition CMOS camera chip 21 inside the examination shell 18 through the control knob 3 on one side of the control host 2. At the same time, control the miniature driver inside the drive tube 20 to drive the directional hose 19 to bend flexibly and adjust the orientation of the imaging component to ensure that the high-definition camera 27 can be aligned with the area to be examined. Complete the angle and position adjustment before examination. Hold the control host 1 and slowly insert the directional hose 19 and one end of the examination shell 18 into the patient's nasopharynx. The flexible inner diameter cannula 8 can adapt to the physiological curve of the human body to reduce patient discomfort. The connecting cover 7 plays a sealing and guiding role to prevent secretions from entering the device during the examination. Start the miniature cold light source 23, and the light emitted by it passes through the... The astigmatism lens 24 at one end of the inspection housing 18 is used for astigmatism treatment, evenly illuminating the nasopharyngeal mucosa to be examined, providing sufficient and soft illumination for the high-definition camera 27. The high-definition camera 27 is aimed at the inspection area and captures real-time images of the inside of the nasopharynx. The high-definition CMOS camera chip 21 performs preliminary processing and conversion on the acquired image signal. The image signal processed by the high-definition CMOS camera chip 21 is transmitted through the connecting transmission line 22, which passes through the directional flexible tube 19, the drive outer tube 20, the flexible inner diameter insertion tube 8, and the connecting canister 7. Inside the outer casing 4, the signal is ultimately transmitted to the control host 1 via the connector 15, ensuring stable and lossless image signal transmission. After receiving the image signal, the control host 1 processes it further and displays a clear real-time image on the display 10. Medical staff can directly observe the lesions in the patient's nasopharynx through the display 10. At the same time, the clarity, brightness and other parameters of the image can be adjusted through the control panel 11, and the angle of the directional hose 19 and the position of the high-definition CMOS camera chip 21 can be adjusted in real time through the control knob 3 to achieve accurate multi-directional and multi-angle examination.

[0026] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-6 As shown, a maintenance cylinder 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer casing 4, and a maintenance cap 6 is snapped into the inside of the maintenance cylinder 13.

[0027] If a malfunction occurs during the use of the device, the inspection cap 6 on the top of the inspection cylinder 13 can be opened to inspect the internal components such as the connection transmission line 22 and the micro driver.

[0028] In another implementation scheme, such as Figures 1-6As shown, an external display interface 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the operating body 2, an installation protrusion 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the operating body 2, and a hanging bent rod 16 is fixedly installed on the side of the installation protrusion 17.

[0029] If other display devices are required during the inspection process, they can be connected through the external display interface 5 on the top of the main body 2 to achieve multi-screen display of images. When not in use, the device can be hung on the hanging rod 16 on the mounting protrusion 17 for easy storage.

[0030] Working Principle: Check the battery 12 on one side of the control host 1 to ensure it has sufficient power to provide stable power support for the entire device. Simultaneously check the Type-C interface 14; external devices can be connected to supplement power or transmit data as needed. Turn on the control host 1 and start the device via the control panel 11 to complete the initialization settings, ensuring that components such as the display 10, high-definition CMOS camera chip 21, and miniature cold light source 23 are functioning correctly. Adjust the position of the high-definition CMOS camera chip 21 inside the inspection housing 18 using the control knob 3 on one side of the control unit 2. Simultaneously, control the miniature driver inside the drive tube 20 to flexibly bend the directional hose 19, adjusting the orientation of the imaging component to ensure that the high-definition camera 27 is aligned with the object to be inspected. In the area, after completing the angle and position adjustments before the examination, the handheld control unit 1 slowly inserts the directional tube 19 and one end of the examination housing 18 into the patient's nasopharynx. This allows for flexible adaptation to the physiological curves of the nasopharynx, minimizing irritation to the mucosa during insertion and effectively reducing patient discomfort such as nausea and coughing, thus improving patient cooperation. The flexible inner diameter cannula 8 adapts to the physiological curves of the human body, reducing patient discomfort. The connecting cover 7 provides sealing and guidance, preventing secretions from entering the device during the examination. The miniature cold light source 23 is activated, and the emitted light is diffused by the astigmatic lens 24 at one end of the examination housing 18, evenly illuminating the nasopharyngeal mucosa to be examined, providing sufficient and soft illumination for the high-definition camera 27. Camera 27 is aimed at the examination area to capture real-time images of the inside of the nasopharynx and larynx. The high-definition CMOS camera chip 21 performs preliminary processing and conversion on the acquired image signals. The processed image signals are then transmitted via a connecting transmission line 22, which passes through the inner sides of the directional flexible tube 19, the drive outer tube 20, the flexible inner diameter cannula 8, the connecting cup 7, and the outer casing 4. Finally, the signals are transmitted to the control host 1 via connector 15, ensuring stable and lossless image signal transmission. After receiving the image signals, the control host 1 further processes them, presenting clear real-time images on the display 10. Medical personnel can directly observe the lesions in the patient's nasopharynx and larynx through the display 10. The image clarity and brightness parameters can be adjusted via the control panel 11, and the angle of the directional hose 19 and the position of the high-definition CMOS camera chip 21 can be adjusted in real time via the control knob 3, enabling precise multi-directional and multi-angle examinations. This facilitates case storage and collaborative diagnosis and treatment among multiple medical staff, adapting to various diagnostic and treatment scenarios such as outpatient and emergency departments. It effectively shortens examination time, improves overall diagnostic and treatment efficiency, and reduces the workload of medical staff. If a malfunction occurs during use, the inspection cap 6 on the top of the inspection cylinder 13 can be opened to inspect internal components such as the connection transmission line 22 and the micro driver. If external display devices are required during the examination, they can be connected via the external display interface 5 on the top of the operating main body 2 to achieve multi-screen image display. When not in use...The device can be hung on the hook rod 16 attached to the protrusion 17 for easy storage.

[0031] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
