Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a video otoscope device. Background Technology
[0002] An otoscope is a medical diagnostic tool, also known as an otoscope or otoscope endoscope, primarily used to examine the ear canal and tympanic membrane. It utilizes the principles of lens magnification or fiber optic light transmission to magnify the image inside the ear canal, allowing doctors to clearly observe details on the ear canal and tympanic membrane.
[0003] With the development of technology, most otoscopes on the market are divided into rigid otoscopes and electronic otoscopes. Both can help doctors observe the ear canal and tympanic membrane more clearly. Some are also equipped with cameras to record images and make it easy to save and share examination results.
[0004] However, traditional otoscopes are generally not equipped with otoscope covers, making sterilization inconvenient during use and resulting in low product efficiency. Furthermore, otoscopes are only used for observation and examination and cannot be used for drug spraying, thus failing to provide efficient treatment while observing. Utility Model Content

[0024] The following describes the specific structure of a video otoscope device:
[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The video otoscope device of this embodiment includes a structural body 1, which includes a holding section 101 and an inlet section 102. The holding section 101 and the inlet section 102 are integrated and form an angle. A diagnostic and treatment component 2 is provided at one end of the inlet section 102.
[0026] Furthermore, the diagnostic and treatment component 2 includes an otoscope 201, which is connected to the inlet section 102. The diagnostic and treatment component 2 also includes a lens cover 202, which is fitted over the surface of the otoscope 201 to protect the lens of the otoscope 201 from contamination or damage. Preferably, the lens cover 202 is detachable, allowing it to be discarded and replaced promptly after use.
[0027] Furthermore, the outlines of the lens cover 202 and the otoscope 201 are partially tapered and partially straight. The tapered section is close to the inlet section 102, and the taper decreases from the direction close to the inlet section 102 towards the direction away from the inlet section 102. This structural design effectively ensures that the inlet section 102, carrying the diagnostic component 2, can easily enter the ear canal when using the device.
[0028] Furthermore, the diagnostic and treatment component 2 also includes an infusion unit 203, which is connected to the endoscope sleeve 202. The infusion unit 203 includes an outlet tube 2031, a guide tube 2032, and a connector 2033 connected in sequence. The connector 2033 is located near the inlet section 102, and a portion of the guide tube 2032 abuts against the surface of the endoscope sleeve 202. Preferably, the connector 2033 is a Luer conical connector, which serves as a standardized medical connector to achieve safe transmission of liquids or gases.
[0029] Furthermore, a portion of the discharge tube 2031 is positioned abutting against the straight end face of the endpiece 202 away from the inlet section 102, and the central axis of the discharge tube 2031 intersects with the central axis of the otoscope 201. A gap of 1-2 mm is formed between this intersection and the straight end face of the endpiece 202 away from the inlet section 102. This allows for precise spraying of medication to the affected area during examinations, if necessary.
[0030] Furthermore, the device also includes a display 3, which is connected to the grip section 101 and electrically connected to the otoscope 201. When the otoscope 201 is inserted into the ear canal for diagnosis, the real-time image will be displayed through the display 3 for easy observation.
