Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of diagnostic and treatment equipment, specifically an ear diagnostic illumination device. Background Technology

[0002] In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, the ear contains numerous acupoints. Stimulating these acupoints can alleviate discomfort. The current ear acupoint embedding method is a health maintenance technique developed based on ear acupuncture. In practice, a smooth, nearly spherical or oval piece of herbal medicine is placed in the center of a small piece of adhesive tape. This tape is then applied firmly to the corresponding ear acupoint with slight pressure, causing the patient to feel soreness, numbness, distension, or heat in the ear. The patient is instructed to press the acupoint several times a day for 1-2 minutes each time, maintaining the pressure for 3-7 days. However, when performing ear acupoint embedding and ear acupuncture, nurses need to use a light to locate the precise acupoints. However, a regular flashlight is inconvenient for the operator, sometimes requiring an assistant, which complicates the nursing process. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0023] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this utility model. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this utility model and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0024] Because there are many acupoints on the ear, when applying ear acupuncture or herbal patches to the patient's ear acupoints in dim lighting, it is difficult to clearly see the location of each acupoint, which may lead to misapplication. Therefore, when applying ear acupuncture or herbal patches, it is necessary to turn on a flashlight, which is inconvenient in actual operation. To address this, an ear diagnostic lighting device is proposed, comprising: a clip 10, which is clipped onto the patient's head; a lighting head 20, which is mounted on the clip 10; and a rotating adjustment part for mounting the lighting head 20 and adjusting the illumination angle of the lighting head 20.

[0025] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the ear diagnostic illuminator provided by this utility model allows the operator to wear the clip 10 on their head and make preliminary adjustments to the illuminator head 20 by rotating the adjustment part, thereby adjusting the illumination angle of the illuminator head 20. This allows for clear observation of acupoints on the ear. The operator can easily adjust the distance and height of the illuminator head 20 at any time according to the patient's acupoints and different needs, and the operation can be completed by the operator alone, greatly facilitating the work.

[0026] In one embodiment of this utility model, the rotating adjustment part is further provided with a telescopic mechanism, which adjusts the position of the lighting end of the lighting head 20.

[0027] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 The telescopic mechanism and rotating adjustment part can effectively adjust the light emission angle and position of the lighting head 20, so that the lighting head 20 can accurately illuminate the acupoints on the patient's ear by following the head of the caregiver. This improves the ease of use and also ensures that the caregiver can accurately place the ear needles or Chinese medicine patches on the patient's acupoints.

[0028] In one embodiment of this utility model, in order to further improve the lighting effect on the patient's ear, a folding piece 30 is also included. The folding piece 30 is mounted on the clip 10, and the lighting head 20 is also mounted on the folding piece 30.

[0029] In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to enable the clip 10 to be effectively clamped at the patient's head and prevent the clip 10 from falling off, the clip 10 is in the shape of "Ω" and is composed of two unit clips 11. One end of the two unit clips 11 is connected as one piece, and a connecting elastic piece 12 is provided between the connecting ends of the two unit clips 11.

[0030] In one embodiment, see Figure 4 The aforementioned clip 10 is Ω-shaped, and the two unit clips 11 contained in the clip 10 are connected as one unit by the connecting elastic piece 12. When medical staff wear it, the clip 10 is placed on the patient's head, and under the elastic force of the connecting elastic piece 12, the clip 10 can be reliably fixed to the medical staff's head, preventing the clip 10 from falling off at will.

[0031] In one embodiment, the connecting elastic sheet 12 may be made of polymer plastic, which is lightweight and highly elastic.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rotation adjustment part includes a first rotating housing 41 disposed at one end of the sleeve 10, and the first rotating housing 41 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of one end of the sleeve 10 via a rotating shaft.

[0033] When adjusting the angle of the lighting head 20, the illumination angle of the lighting head 20 can be adjusted by rotating the first rotating housing 41.

[0034] In one embodiment of this utility model, in order to adjust the position of the lighting head 20, the telescopic mechanism includes a telescopic tube 42, which is composed of multiple unit tubes that extend and retract. The lighting head 20 is installed at the end of the telescopic tube 42. A switch 43 is installed on the first rotating housing 41, and the switch 43 is used to open and close the lighting head 20.

[0035] In one embodiment, see Figure 5 and Figure 6The telescopic tube 42 includes multiple unit tubes, which can be adjusted according to usage needs to adjust the telescopic position of the lighting head 20. In conjunction with the rotation adjustment of the first rotating housing 41, the position of the lighting head 20 can be adjusted.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, see reference Figure 7 One end of the folding piece 30 is hinged to one end of the sleeve 10, and the other end of the folding piece 30 is provided with a second rotating housing 51. The second rotating housing 51 is mounted on one end of the folding piece 30 via a rotating shaft. A deformable metal piece 52 is mounted on the second rotating housing 51, and a lamp group 53 is provided at one end of the deformable metal piece 52. A button 54 is provided on the second rotating housing 51, and the button 54 is used to turn the lamp group 53 on and off.

[0037] In one embodiment, the lamp group 53 provided at one end of the folded piece 30 can be turned on or off as needed, providing supplementary lighting for the ear to facilitate medical staff in seeing the patient's ear condition more clearly and to achieve the purpose of accurately installing ear needles and traditional Chinese medicine patches.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, in order to improve wearing comfort, ear plates 14 are provided at both ends of the clip 10, and sponge pads 13 are provided on the ear plates 14.

[0039] Since medical staff typically wear ear pads for extended periods during actual work, to improve wearing comfort and avoid ear pain caused by prolonged wear, the aforementioned ear plates 14 are installed at both ends of the clip 10, and the foam pads 13 on the ear plates 14 significantly improve wearing comfort.

[0040] In one embodiment, the sponge 13 can be a sponge with low softness to avoid being too hard, and a fine wool cover is fitted over the outer shell of the sponge 13 to further increase comfort.
