[0025] A stethoscope heating device and a stethoscope of the utility model will be described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein preferred embodiments of the utility model are shown, and it should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the utility model described herein and still achieve the beneficial effects of the utility model. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being widely known to those skilled in the art and not as a limitation to the utility model.

[0026] The present invention is described in more detail in the following paragraphs by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings are in very simplified form and in non-precise proportions, and are only used to conveniently and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a more convenient and practical stethoscope heating device and a stethoscope, comprising a housing 1, a cover 2 and a control device.

[0028] Specifically, the cover 2 is located on the shell 1; a placement slot 3 is provided on the shell 1; the placement slot 3 is used to place the stethoscope head 7; a cavity 4 is provided in the shell 1; a heating wire is provided in the cavity 4; the control device is located on the shell 1, and is used to control the operation of the heating wire.

[0029] In this embodiment, a sterilizing device is provided at the top of the cover 2 .

[0030] In a specific example, the sterilization device includes an ultraviolet lamp 5 disposed on the top of the cover 2, and the stethoscope head 7 is sterilized by the ultraviolet lamp 5. In order to improve the sterilization effect, for example, to achieve better sterilization in a short time (about 10 seconds), a 260-280nm UVC-LED lamp can be used, the number can be 5-20, and the size of each UVC-LED lamp is about 3.5mm 3 The size can be adjusted according to the actual lamp beads.

[0031] Since the stethoscope head 7 is used for different patients for a long time and is replaced only once in a long time, bacteria from one patient may be attached to the stethoscope head 7, and the bacteria may be transmitted to the next patient when the stethoscope head 7 is used continuously. Therefore, in order to avoid cross infection of human bacteria caused by the stethoscope head 7, a more convenient and practical control device is also proposed in this embodiment. Specifically, the control device is a switch, and the sterilization and heating functions can be realized by manually turning on and off the switch.

[0032] Preferably, the control device can also be automatically controlled. Specifically, the control device can be used to detect whether the cover 2 is closed, control the operation of the sterilization device, and control the sterilization device to turn off and turn on the heating wire after a predetermined time, so as to achieve sterilization and heating functions.

[0033] In a specific example, the predetermined time may be 10 seconds. When the control device detects that the cover 2 is closed, it will automatically control the heating wire to stop operating, and control the ultraviolet lamp 5 to sterilize the stethoscope head 7 in the housing 1. After the predetermined time of 10 seconds, the ultraviolet lamp 5 is automatically turned off, and then the control device starts to automatically control the heating wire to heat the stethoscope head 7. When in use, the control device detects that the cover 2 is in an open state (open state), and the control device continues to control the operation of the heating wire, so that the stethoscope head 7 can always be kept warm and not in a cold state.

[0034] In this embodiment, the control device may include a timing switch circuit, and the control of sterilization and heating is achieved through the timing switch circuit.

[0035] In this embodiment, the number of the heating wires is set to be multiple.

[0036] In one embodiment, the housing 1 is further provided with a through slot 6 communicating with the placement slot 3 for the stethoscope wire 8 to pass through.

[0037] Preferably, the housing 1 is made of plastic.

[0038] In this embodiment, the control device includes a sensor arranged on the housing 1 .

[0039] Preferably, the sensor includes a distance sensor. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that, while achieving the same effect, the sensor may also be any embodiment other than this embodiment.

[0040] In addition, if Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also provides a stethoscope, including the stethoscope heating device as described above, and also including a stethoscope head 7 and a stethoscope wire 8.

[0041] Specifically, the stethoscope head 7 is connected to one end of the stethoscope wire 8 ; the stethoscope head 7 and one end of the stethoscope wire 8 are both installed in the placement slot 3 ; the other end of the stethoscope wire 8 extends to the outside of the shell 1 .

[0042] Furthermore, the stethoscope head 7 is detachably installed in the placement slot 3, which is convenient for disassembly and installation, and is convenient and practical.

[0043] In a specific example, in order to facilitate carrying, the dimensions of the housing 1 and the cover 2 in the device can be set according to the convenience of carrying, for example, the overall length, width and height dimensions of the housing 1 and the cover 2 can be set to height 46mm*length 54mm*width 21mm, so that medical staff can carry the device anytime and anywhere. It is known to those skilled in the art that, according to actual needs, the overall length, width and height dimensions of the housing 1 and the cover 2 can also be other dimensions besides height 46mm*length 54mm*width 21mm in the present embodiment.

[0044] In another specific example, if it is not necessary to carry it, the housing 1 in the device can also be set as a base-type housing 1, which is fixedly or detachably installed on the desktop, and the stethoscope line 8 does not need to pass through the housing 1, that is, the housing 1 and the cover 2 are in an independent form. When the stethoscope head 7 is used up, the stethoscope head 7 can be directly placed in the housing 1, and the housing 1 needs to be provided with a hole for placing the stethoscope line 8. The hole can be set according to the size requirements of the stethoscope line 8.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the stethoscope head 7 is not in use and the lid 2 is closed, when the control device detects that the lid 2 is closed, it will automatically control the heating wire to stop operating and control the ultraviolet lamp 5 to sterilize the stethoscope head 7. After a predetermined time, the ultraviolet lamp 5 automatically turns off, and at the same time, the control device starts to control the heating wire to heat the stethoscope head 7. When it is used again, the lid 2 is opened, and when the control device detects that the lid 2 is in an open state (open state), the control device continues to control the heating wire to operate, so that the stethoscope head 7 can always be kept warm and not in a cold state.

[0046] In summary, the stethoscope heating device and the stethoscope proposed in the utility model have the following advantages:

[0047] Through the shell, the cover and the control device; the cover is located on the shell; the shell is provided with a placement slot; the placement slot is used to place the stethoscope head; the shell is provided with a cavity; the cavity is provided with a heating wire; the control device is located on the shell and is used to control the operation of the heating wire. This device can not only heat the stethoscope head to improve the patient's experience, but also is easy to carry, convenient and practical.

[0048] In addition, the control device is also used to detect whether the cover is closed, and control the heating wire to be turned off, and control the sterilization device to operate, and control the sterilization device to be turned off and turn on the heating wire after a predetermined time. Not only can the stethoscope head be heated, but also sterilization can be performed before heating, effectively solving the problem of bacterial infection.

[0049] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
