Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of pediatric medical instruments, and particularly relates to a pediatric tongue depressor. Background Art

[0002] The tongue depressor is a small instrument with two round ends, mainly used for pharyngeal visual examination. It is an essential inspection tool. The device is used to press down the patient's tongue to facilitate the doctor to examine the surrounding organs and tissues. It is made of bamboo, plastic, wood, stainless steel and other different types.

[0003] When examining a child's throat, the tongue depressor will extend to the end of the child's tongue, which can easily cause the child to retch, making the child uncomfortable and very resistant to being examined again, thus causing the examination to be difficult. For this reason, we propose a pediatric tongue depressor that opens the child's mouth through a fixator and is combined with an adjustable tongue depressor to facilitate the doctor's examination.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0028] Embodiment, a pediatric tongue depressor, including a bracket assembly 10, the bracket assembly 10 is C-shaped, including an upper bracket 101 and a lower bracket 102, between the upper bracket 101 and the lower bracket 102, the end of the upper bracket 101 is also sleeved with an upper tooth support 20, and the end of the lower bracket 102 is sleeved with a lower tooth support 30, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper teeth support 20 includes an upper sleeve 201, and an upper teeth support 202 is integrally formed at the upper oblique part of the upper sleeve 201, and the lower teeth support 30 includes a lower sleeve a301, and a lower teeth support 302 is integrally formed at the lower oblique part of the lower sleeve a301. The support group is used to support the upper and lower teeth of the child, and the upper and lower teeth of the child are fastened in the support to be fixed, wherein the bracket assembly 10 is a hard rubber with elasticity or other materials that meet the use conditions of medical devices, so that when the child's mouth is opened, the skin in contact with the device will not be injured;

[0029] Among them, Figure 2As shown, a torsion spring 40 is also provided at the connection between the upper sleeve 201 and the upper bracket 101 and the lower sleeve a301 and the lower bracket 102 to fit the inclination of the child's teeth so as to better open the child's mouth;

[0030] After the child's mouth is opened, the tongue depressor body mounted on the lower bracket 102 is used to press the child's tongue. Figure 2-5 As shown, a tongue depressor assembly 50 is also provided on the lower bracket 102. The tongue depressor assembly 50 includes a lower sleeve b501 fixedly sleeved on the lower bracket 102. Figure 3 As shown, the upper end of the lower sleeve b501 is also convexly formed with a connecting block b502, and a pin is movably sleeved in the connecting block b502. The tongue depressor body is fixedly locked at both ends of the pin. The tongue depressor body is also divided into a tongue depressor a503 close to the tongue and a tongue depressor b504 at the rear end. The rotation of the tongue depressor body can be realized around the center of the pin.

[0031] In order to realize the rotation of the tongue depressor body, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, an adjustment assembly 60 is also provided below the tongue depressor assembly 50, wherein the adjustment assembly 60 includes a lower sleeve c601 fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the lower bracket 102, and a connecting block a602 is integrally formed obliquely above the lower sleeve c601, and a rotating shaft 603 is also threadedly connected in the connecting block a602, and a screwing head is provided at one end of the rotating shaft 603, which can drive the rotating shaft 603 to rotate in the connecting block a602, and a cam rod 604 is also fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the rotating shaft 603. In addition, as shown in FIG. Figure 5 The height of the tongue depressor a503 should be higher than that of the tongue depressor b504, so that the tongue depressor a503 can have a larger tilt angle, flatten and tighten the child's tongue, and facilitate the doctor's subsequent observation;

[0032] When the tongue depressor body needs to be adjusted, the twisting head can be driven to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 603 fixedly connected to the twisting head rotates together, and the cam rod 604 on the outer side of the rotating shaft 603 rotates together, and the convex part of the cam rod 604 is pushed against the bottom of the tongue depressor b504, so that the tongue depressor a503 can press the child's tongue. Because the rotating shaft 603 and the connecting block a602 are threadedly connected, there is no possibility that the rotating shaft 603 rotates, so it is ensured that the tongue depressor body can press the child's tongue, which is convenient for the doctor's inspection.

[0033] In addition, if Figure 5 As shown, the rotating shaft 603 and the cam rod 604 are partially arranged below the tongue depressor body, which will not affect the doctor's line of sight during observation, making it convenient for the doctor to find the lesion in time, which is helpful for diagnosing the disease.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
