Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of medical instruments, in particular to a detachable tongue depressor assembly. Background Art

[0002] Tongue depressors are mainly used in pharyngeal visual examination to depress the tongue to facilitate the inspection of surrounding organs and tissues. They are commonly used clinical medical devices and are widely used in pediatrics, internal medicine, otolaryngology, stomatology and other specialties. At present, most hospitals in my country use disposable tongue depressors made of wood, bamboo or plastic. During use, since the oral cavity is relatively dark, the doctor has to hold a light source while operating the tongue depressor to observe the patient's oral cavity clearly, which makes visual examination operation inconvenient.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the existing patent provides a new type of medical tongue depressor (application number: CN202110265113.4). A light source is provided on the gripping component of the tongue depressor. The light source can be turned on by pressing the light source control switch, so that the tongue depressor can provide lighting while pressing down the patient's tongue, assisting the doctor in observing the oral condition, and is more convenient to use.

[0004] However, the above solution has the following defects: the light source is fixed to the grip assembly, so when the light source is damaged and needs to be replaced, the entire grip assembly needs to be replaced, which is inconvenient to use. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above defects or deficiencies in the prior art, it is desirable to provide a detachable tongue depressor assembly, wherein the light source is arranged on the end surface opposite to the illuminating member and the socket, so that when the tongue depressor is inserted into the patient's mouth, the light emitted by the light source can face the patient's mouth, thereby providing clear illumination. In addition, the illumination member is detachably arranged on the handle through a snap-on structure, so that when the light source is damaged, only the illumination member needs to be disassembled and replaced or the illumination member needs to be disassembled and repaired separately, or both can be disassembled and the handle or the illumination member can be used separately, which is more portable.

[0006] The effect of the utility model is achieved in this way:

[0007] The present application provides a detachable tongue depressor assembly, comprising a handle and a lighting component, wherein an inner interlayer of the handle forms a receiving cavity, a front end of the handle is hollowed out with a socket connected to the receiving cavity, the socket is configured to allow the tongue depressor to pass through the receiving cavity; a locking structure is arranged in the receiving cavity, the locking structure is configured to clamp or avoid the tongue depressor; a side wall of the handle forms an installation area, the lighting component is detachably connected to the installation area through a clamping structure, the clamping structure comprises a clamping head and a clamping groove that are clamped together, the clamping head is arranged on one of the lighting component and the installation area, and the clamping groove is arranged on the other of the lighting component and the installation area; a light source for providing lighting is arranged on the end surface of the lighting component facing opposite to the socket.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper end of the handle is concave downward, and the concave portion forms an installation area, and the lighting component is clipped into the installation area. The installation area is a groove structure, and the lighting component and the installation area are clipped together.

[0009] Furthermore, both the left and right sides of the lighting component are recessed along the length direction to form a clamping groove, and a clamping head is correspondingly provided on the installation area. The lighting component can be clamped into the installation area by sliding it along the length direction of the clamping groove, making the installation operation of the lighting component relatively simple; and, both the left and right sides of the lighting component are provided with clamping grooves, so that after the lighting component is installed, both the left and right sides are limited by the clamping head, further improving the connection strength between the lighting component and the handle.

[0010] Furthermore, an opening is provided at the front end of the handle facing the installation area, and the opening is configured for the lighting component to be inserted into the installation area, so that the lighting component can be inserted into or removed from the installation area through the opening, thereby making the installation and removal of the lighting component easier.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking structure includes a wheel-shaped locking member, a rotating shaft is vertically arranged in the accommodating cavity, the locking member is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft and can rotate circumferentially around the rotating shaft; the locking member is a hollow structure, the hollow part forms an avoidance cavity, and the side wall of the locking member is provided with a tooth opening connected to the avoidance cavity; the locking member has a switchable avoidance state and a locking state, in the avoidance state, the locking member rotates to the tooth opening facing the socket, and the tongue depressor can freely enter or escape from the avoidance cavity through the tooth opening; in the locking state, the locking member rotates to the tooth opening facing the socket, so that the side wall of the tooth opening can tightly press against the side wall of the tongue depressor, so that the tongue depressor cannot escape from the avoidance cavity. The tongue depressor can be locked or loosened by simply rotating the locking member, so that the installation, disassembly and fixing operations of the tongue depressor are very simple.

[0012] Furthermore, a clearance opening is hollowed out on the side wall of the handle, and one side of the locking member passes through the clearance opening and is exposed on the side wall of the handle. One side of the locking member is exposed on the side wall of the handle, so that the user can operate the locking member through the exposed portion, thereby making the adjustment operation of the locking member easier.

[0013] Furthermore, an adjustment button is provided on the side wall of the locking member, the adjustment button passes through the avoidance opening and is exposed on the side wall of the handle, and the adjustment button is configured to facilitate the user to rotate and adjust the locking member. By providing the adjustment button on the side of the locking member exposed on the handle, the user controls the rotation of the locking member by operating the adjustment button, further improving the convenience of the locking member adjustment operation.

[0014] The detachable tongue depressor assembly provided by the present application has a light source disposed on the end surface facing the illuminating member and the socket, so that when the tongue depressor is inserted into the patient's mouth, the light emitted by the light source can face the patient's mouth, thereby providing clear lighting. In addition, the lighting component is detachably disposed on the handle through a snap-on structure, so that when the light source is damaged, it is only necessary to disassemble and replace the lighting component or disassemble the lighting component for repair alone, or both can be disassembled and the handle or the lighting component can be used alone, which is more portable. In addition, the tongue depressor can be locked or loosened by simply turning the locking member, so that the installation, disassembly and fixing of the tongue depressor are very simple.
