Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a medical appliance, in particular to a tongue depressor storage box. Background Art

[0002] In clinical practice, examination of the oral cavity and throat is very important for diagnosing diseases, formulating treatment plans, and evaluating treatment effects. However, due to the complex tissue structure inside the oral cavity and the large range of movement of the tongue, a device that can fix the tongue is needed to help doctors or nurses observe the situation inside the oral cavity more accurately. The tongue depressor provides a clear field of view by fixing the tongue, allowing doctors or nurses to more accurately observe abnormal conditions inside the oral cavity, such as tumors, inflammation, ulcers, etc.

[0003] A tongue depressor is a medical device used to examine and collect samples in the mouth and throat. It is a flat, long tool with a curved end that allows a doctor or nurse to place it over the patient's tongue and hold the other end to stabilize the tongue for examination of the mouth and throat.

[0004] In actual use, tongue depressors are placed in an open position in the bucket, which can be easily contaminated by droplets during communication between medical staff and patients. Moreover, when medical staff remove tongue depressors, they may touch other tongue depressors in the bucket, causing cross infection and affecting the normal diagnosis and treatment work of medical staff.

[0005] The Chinese utility model patent CN214453632U announced on October 22, 2021 discloses an automatic tongue depressor extraction box, including a storage box, a first cover body is rotatably connected to the top of one end of the storage box through a damping hinge, a second cover body is hinged to the top of the other end of the storage box through a reset hinge, a push plate is provided inside the storage box, a lithium battery is snap-connected to the bottom of one end of the storage box, a mounting box is snap-connected to the bottom of the other end of the storage box, an infrared sensing switch is installed in the middle of the other end of the storage box, and an ejection mechanism is provided inside the mounting box. When the storage box of the utility model is used, the tongue depressors can be removed one by one by triggering the infrared sensing switch and utilizing the ejection mechanism to avoid cross infection. At the same time, the second cover body at the ejection outlet of the tongue depressor can be flipped over to block dust and other pollutants from entering the storage box. However, there are still shortcomings: the storage box is triggered by infrared sensing, which consumes power and is prone to accidental touch. When the battery is low, medical staff need to replace the battery or charge it, which increases the workload. Utility Model Content
