Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of medical instruments, and in particular relates to an earmuff of an ear thermometer and a component thereof. Background Art
[0002] Thermometers usually obtain human body temperature information by measuring axillary temperature, ear temperature, oral temperature, forehead temperature, rectal temperature, etc. Among them, an ear thermometer is a thermometer specifically used to measure eardrum temperature.
[0003] When using an ear thermometer, the probe (ear temperature cone) needs to be inserted into the ear hole of the human body. In order to prevent the ear thermometer from directly contacting the human body during use, the ear thermometer is generally equipped with a disposable earmuff to cover the probe, making the temperature measurement process safer and more hygienic, avoiding cross infection between different users, and keeping the ear thermometer probe clean.
[0004] If it is a public place such as a hospital or clinic, usually one ear thermometer will be equipped with multiple earmuffs. The earmuffs specially used for existing ear thermometers are hollow cone-shaped. During transportation, multiple earmuffs are put together to reduce the volume for easy storage. However, since the existing earmuffs are usually made of plastic, two adjacent earmuffs are easily adsorbed together due to static electricity, and it is difficult to separate the two earmuffs with one hand. For the user, if one hand holds the ear thermometer, it is difficult to remove a single earmuff with the other hand. This brings great inconvenience to the user.
[0005] In response to this, there is an earmuff in the prior art that is specially provided with an outwardly extending stacking platform and a downwardly protruding shelf, so that users can easily separate multiple earmuffs when they are stacked together. Specifically, when two earmuffs are stacked together, the downwardly protruding shelf of the upper earmuff can be stacked on the outwardly extending stacking platform of the next earmuff. However, this earmuff has a complex structure and requires a part that is continuously bent inside and outside on the earmuff that is smaller in size, which takes up more space, not only increases the processing precision requirements, reduces the material strength, but also makes the earmuff smaller in size at the ear, reducing the experience of the person being measured. Utility Model Content
[0006] In order to overcome at least one deficiency in the prior art, the utility model provides an ear thermometer earmuff and a component thereof.
[0007] In order to achieve an object of the utility model, the utility model provides an ear thermometer earmuff, comprising a sleeve portion, a light-transmitting portion, a flange portion, and a plurality of bosses. The light-transmitting portion is located at one end of the sleeve portion. The flange portion is located at the other end of the sleeve portion. The plurality of bosses are located at the connection between the sleeve portion and the flange portion, each boss protrudes toward the inner side of the sleeve portion, each boss has an inclined surface, the angle between the inclined surface and the plane where the flange portion is located is between 55 and 70 degrees, and the number of the plurality of bosses is between 2 and 6.
[0008] In an embodiment of the present invention, the length of each inclined surface is between 0.8-2 mm.
[0009] In an embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of bosses are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the connection between the sleeve portion and the flange portion.
[0010] In an embodiment of the present invention, the flange portion has a concave-convex pattern.
[0011] In order to achieve another object of the utility model, the utility model further provides an ear thermometer earmuff assembly, comprising an ear thermometer and any one of the ear thermometer earmuffs described above. The ear thermometer earmuff is detachably mounted on the ear temperature cone of the ear thermometer.
[0012] In one embodiment of the utility model, the ear thermometer includes an ejection mechanism, which includes an ejection button and a rotating shaft. When one end of the ejection button is pressed, the other end of the ejection button is tilted around the rotating shaft, touches the flange part and exerts a force that overcomes the friction between the multiple bosses and the ear temperature cone, thereby popping the ear thermometer earcup off the ear temperature cone.
[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the ear temperature cone includes a fixing surface. When the ear thermometer earmuff is mounted on the ear temperature cone, the plurality of bosses engage with the fixing surface.
[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the angle between the plane where the fixing surface is located and the plane where the flange portion is located is between 87-93 degrees.
[0015] In summary, the boss of the utility model has an inclined surface that fits the outer surface of the sleeve of the earmuff, so that when the earmuffs are stacked, the inclined surface of the upper earmuff can be stacked on the outer surface of the lower earmuff, which can effectively prevent the earmuffs from overlapping and facilitate taking out only one earmuff at a time. In addition, the cooperation between the inclined surface and the outer surface can reduce the stacking thickness of the earmuffs, save stacking space, and facilitate storage and transportation.
[0016] In addition, the earmuff of the utility model is used in conjunction with the ear thermometer, and the earmuff is engaged with the lower end of the ear thermometer cone through the boss, and the lower end of the ear thermometer cone does not need to be separately provided with a groove or protrusion for braking, so that the earmuff and the ear thermometer cone can be smoothly engaged and ejected, making the production process of the ear thermometer shell simpler and reducing the production cost of the ear thermometer. At the same time, it also reduces the processing accuracy requirements of the earmuff and the size requirements of the earmuff, thereby reducing the production cost of the earmuff.
[0017] In order to make the above and other purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, preferred embodiments are given below and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] Figure 1 Shown is a cross-sectional view of an ear thermometer earmuff provided according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 The figure shows a top view of an ear thermometer earmuff provided according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of stacking two ear thermometer earmuffs according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an ear thermometer earmuff 1 provided in one embodiment of the utility model includes a sleeve portion 11 , a light-transmitting portion 12 , a flange portion 13 and a plurality of bosses 14 .
[0025] The light-transmitting portion 12 is located at one end of the sleeve portion 11. The flange portion 13 is located at the other end of the sleeve portion 11. Specifically, the sleeve portion 11 is roughly truncated. Figure 1 When placed vertically in the direction shown, the light-transmitting portion 12 is located at the top of the sleeve portion 11, and the flange portion 13 is annular and located at the bottom of the sleeve portion 11. In this embodiment, the surface of the flange portion 13 has a concave-convex pattern 131. Through this arrangement, the strength of the flange portion 13 is increased to prevent the earmuff 1 from being easily deformed. However, the present invention does not make any limitation to this. In other embodiments, the surface of the flange portion can be smooth.
[0026] A plurality of bosses 14 are located at the connection between the sleeve portion 11 and the flange portion 13. Each boss 14 protrudes toward the inner side of the sleeve portion 11. Each boss 14 has an inclined surface 141. The angle α between the inclined surface 141 and the plane P where the flange portion 13 is located is between 55 and 70 degrees. The number of the plurality of bosses 14 is between 2 and 6. Figure 3As shown, when two ear thermometer earmuffs 1 are stacked, the sleeve portion 11 of the upper ear thermometer earmuff is sleeved on the sleeve portion 11 of the lower ear thermometer earmuff, and the inclined surface 141 of the boss of the upper ear thermometer earmuff abuts against the outer surface of the sleeve portion 11 of the lower ear thermometer earmuff. In this way, when multiple ear thermometer earmuffs are stacked, the stacking height can be effectively reduced, and a certain distance is ensured between the flange portions of each two adjacent ear thermometer earmuffs, so that the user can easily take out one of the ear thermometer earmuffs.
[0027] The "inner side" referred to in the present invention refers to the side of the sleeve portion 11 facing the ear temperature cone when the ear sleeve is sleeved on the ear thermometer (such as Figure 5 When the earmuff 1 is Figure 1 When placed vertically in the direction shown, the plane P where the flange 13 is located is a horizontal plane. The angle α between the inclined surface 141 and the plane P where the flange 13 is located is the inclination angle of the boss 14. The inclination angle of the boss in the utility model is adapted to the inclination angle of the outer surface of the sleeve portion.
[0028] The "between" referred to in the present invention includes two endpoint values. Specifically, the angle α between the inclined surface 141 and the plane P where the flange portion 13 is located, that is, the inclination angle of the boss 14, can be 55 degrees, 57 degrees, 60 degrees, 61.9 degrees, 63.5 degrees, 65 degrees, 67.8 degrees, 70 degrees, etc., and the number of bosses 14 can be 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. In this embodiment, the angle α between the inclined surface 141 and the plane P where the flange portion 13 is located, that is, the inclination angle of the boss 14 is 61.9 degrees, and the number of bosses 14 is 6. However, the present invention does not make specific limitations on this.
[0029] When the angle α between the inclined surface 141 and the plane P where the flange portion 13 is located is too small or too large, for example, 40 degrees or 90 degrees, although it can ensure that there is enough distance between the two stacked earmuffs, in order to meet the installation effect of the earmuffs and the ear temperature cone, the distance between the two stacked earmuffs will be too large. When there are a large number of earmuffs, such as 20 earmuffs stacked together, the height occupied will increase a lot, which is not conducive to the storage and transportation of the earmuffs.
[0030] Furthermore, when the angle α between the inclined surface 141 and the plane P where the flange portion 13 is located is too small, the upper end point of the inclined surface 141 mainly contacts the outer side surface of the sleeve portion of the next earmuff, and when the angle α between the inclined surface 141 and the plane P where the flange portion 13 is located is too large, the lower end point of the inclined surface 141 mainly contacts the outer side surface of the sleeve portion of the next earmuff. This will result in too small a contact area between two adjacent earmuffs, making it too easy for the two adjacent earmuffs to separate, and an unsatisfactory stacking effect. In addition, when the angle α between the inclined surface 141 and the plane P where the flange portion 13 is located is too small or too large, the installation and engagement effect between the earmuff and the ear temperature cone is also greatly reduced.
[0031] The number of bosses 14 of the utility model is 2-6, that is, they are dispersedly arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction around the connection between the sleeve portion 11 and the flange portion 13. If the boss is set as a circle around the connection between the sleeve portion 11 and the flange portion 13, that is, it is set as a whole, or the number of bosses is set too much, the contact friction area between two adjacent earmuffs will be too large. If the two earmuffs need to be separated, a large force needs to be applied. If the user's strength is too weak, it is even impossible to separate the two stacked earmuffs with one hand, which is not convenient for practical application. Correspondingly, the engagement between the earmuff and the ear temperature cone will be too tight, resulting in the earmuff being difficult to pop out of the ear temperature cone. Setting the number of bosses 14 to 2-6 can well control the deformation of the earmuff, balance the separation and stacking between multiple earmuffs, balance the engagement between the earmuff and the ear temperature cone, and the pop-up separation of the earmuff and the ear temperature cone.
[0032] In this embodiment, the plurality of bosses 14 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the connection between the sleeve portion 11 and the flange portion 13. Specifically, when the number of bosses is two, the interval between the two bosses is 180 degrees, when the number of bosses is three, the interval between two adjacent bosses is 120 degrees, when the number of bosses is four, the interval between two adjacent bosses is 90 degrees, and so on. However, the utility model does not make any limitation to this. In other embodiments, the plurality of bosses may be unevenly distributed.
[0033] In this embodiment, the length of each inclined surface 141 is between 0.8 and 2 mm. The "length" here refers to the length of the inclined surface 141 along the longitudinal section direction. When the length of the inclined surface 141 is too long, the material cost of the earmuff is increased, and the contact friction area between the two earmuffs is increased. If the two earmuffs need to be separated, the force needs to be increased, which reduces the convenience of separating the two earmuffs. Correspondingly, if the earmuff needs to be ejected from the ear temperature cone, the ejection force also needs to be increased due to the tight engagement. When the length of the inclined surface 141 is too short, due to the small contact friction area between the two stacked earmuffs, the two stacked earmuffs are easily moved toward each other under the action of unintentional external force, and the effect of separating the earmuffs is reduced. Preferably, the length of each inclined surface 141 is about 1±0.2 mm.
[0034] In this embodiment, the length of each inclined surface 141 along the circumferential direction is also between 0.8 mm and 2 mm. Preferably, the length of each inclined surface 141 along the circumferential direction is about 1±0.2 mm.
[0035] In the prior art, some have not considered how to stack multiple earmuffs at all, and have ignored the problem of earmuff stacking. Some have considered it but have not considered the stacking effect, and have not considered the problem of the engagement between the earmuffs and the ear temperature cone. The present utility model is aimed at the problems that are easily overlooked in the field, and comprehensively considers the installation engagement of the earmuffs and the ear temperature cone and the stacking effect between multiple earmuffs, and proposes the improved technical solution as described above. The boss of the utility model has an inclined surface that fits the outer surface of the sleeve portion of the earmuff, so that when the earmuffs are stacked, the inclined surface of the upper earmuff can be stacked on the outer surface of the next earmuff, which can effectively prevent the earmuffs from overlapping, and facilitate taking out only one earmuff at a time. In addition, the coordination between the inclined surface and the outer surface can reduce the stacking thickness of the earmuffs, save stacking space, and facilitate storage and transportation.
[0036] Figure 4 Shown is a partial schematic diagram of an ear thermometer provided according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 5 Shown is a schematic diagram of an earmuff provided according to an embodiment of the utility model installed on an ear thermometer. Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an earmuff being ejected from an ear thermometer according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the earmuff assembly of the ear thermometer includes an earmuff 1 and an ear thermometer 2. The structure of the earmuff 1 is as described above, and the earmuff 1 is detachably sleeved on the ear temperature cone 21 of the ear thermometer 2.
[0037] The ear thermometer 2 includes a body 23 and an ear temperature cone 21. The light-transmitting portion 12 of the earmuff 1 is transparent, so that the infrared light emitted by the ear temperature cone 21 can be transmitted through the light-transmitting portion 12. The shape of the sleeve portion 11 matches the shape of the ear temperature cone 21. Specifically, the inclination angle of the outer surface of the sleeve portion 11 matches the inclination angle of the ear temperature cone 21 of the ear thermometer 2, so that when the earmuff 1 is sleeved on the ear thermometer 2, the earmuff 1 can fit the ear temperature cone 21 of the ear thermometer 2 more closely.
[0038] In this embodiment, the ear temperature cone 21 includes a fixing surface 211. When the ear thermometer earmuff 1 is mounted on the ear temperature cone 21, the plurality of bosses 14 engage the fixing surface 211. In this embodiment, the angle between the plane where the fixing surface 211 is located and the plane where the flange portion 13 is located is between 87 and 93 degrees. Specifically, the plane where the fixing surface 211 is located is substantially perpendicular to the plane where the flange portion 13 is located, and the angle between the two can be 87 degrees, 90 degrees, 93 degrees, etc.
[0039] In this embodiment, the ear thermometer 2 further includes an ejection mechanism 22, which includes an ejection button 221 and a shaft 222. When one end 2211 of the ejection button 221 is pressed, the other end 2212 of the ejection button 221 rises around the shaft 222, touches the flange 13, and exerts a force that overcomes the friction between the plurality of bosses 15 and the ear temperature cone 21, thereby ejecting the ear thermometer earmuff 1 from the ear temperature cone 21. The ejection mechanism thus provided has a simpler structure and lower production cost.
[0040] The ear thermometer cone 21 of this embodiment does not need to be separately provided with a groove or protrusion for braking at the lower end, so that the earmuff 1 and the ear thermometer cone 21 can be smoothly engaged and ejected, making the production process of the ear thermometer shell simpler and reducing the production cost of the ear thermometer. At the same time, the processing accuracy requirements for the earmuff 1 and the size requirements for the earmuff 1 are reduced, thereby reducing the production cost of the earmuff 1.
[0041] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside", etc. are relative directions or positional relationships, which are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0042] Although the present invention has been disclosed as above by the preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with this technology can make slight changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be based on the protection scope required by the claims.
