Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an otoscope, and more particularly to a multifunctional otoscope base. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, electronic otoscopes have become increasingly popular. They represent a significant improvement over traditional optical otoscopes, offering equally satisfactory results. The main unit of an electronic otoscope is connected to a display device via wires, using a high-magnification camera to observe, photograph, or record lesions within the ear canal. With increasing health awareness and the development of the healthcare market, more and more people are paying attention to their own and their families' ear health. Portable electronic otoscopes are gradually entering homes. Conventionally, after use, the otoscope is usually stored directly in its case (for extended periods of non-use) or placed on a table (for frequent use). For frequent use or charging, simply placing it on a table can lead to damage. Therefore, otoscope bases have been designed, such as in patent application number 202330758952.X, entitled "Otoscope Support." These bases have a relatively simple structure, where the bottom of the otoscope is inserted into a hole in the base for support. However, this structure has the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. If the tip of the otoscope has a wire, the wire will be bent over a long period of time and is easily damaged;

[0004] 2. Poor stability: Its U-shaped structure makes it prone to tipping over, which can easily damage the otoscope.

[0005] 3. Charging is inconvenient, and the functions are relatively limited;

[0006] 4. Use a straight otoscope for support and positioning. If the otoscope is angled, it is easy to tip over after placement. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional otoscope base. By using this structure, the otoscope can be stably placed, charged, and its wires can be prevented from being damaged.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a multifunctional otoscope base, including a first support part and a second support part, wherein the first end of the first support part is provided with an upwardly extending protrusion, the top of the second end of the first support part is provided with a positioning port, and the second support part is installed on the protrusion.

[0009] The second support is equipped with a charging interface.

[0010] In the above technical solution, the second support part is a V-shaped structure, an L-shaped structure, or a C-shaped structure.

[0011] In the above technical solution, one end of the positioning port is connected to the end face of the second end of the first support part.

[0012] In the above technical solution, one end of the positioning port is connected to the end face of the second end of the first support part, and the other end of the positioning port extends toward the protrusion.

[0013] The positioning port has a recessed arc-shaped groove in the middle.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the second support part includes a second bracket and a second charging plate. The top surface of the second bracket is provided with a positioning slot that extends through both ends. The top of the second charging plate is provided with a charging interface. The bottom of the positioning slot is provided with a clearance groove that communicates with the interior of the second bracket. The second charging plate is disposed inside the second bracket. The charging interface passes through the clearance groove and is disposed inside the positioning slot.

[0015] And / or, the bottom surface of the positioning slot is inclined downwards from the first end toward the second end.

[0016] In the above technical solution, a positioning groove is provided at the outer edge of the top surface of the protrusion, and the outer edge of the bottom surface of the second bracket is inserted into the positioning groove;

[0017] And / or, the second bracket is snapped into the positioning groove, or the second bracket is secured to the protrusion by fasteners.

[0018] In the above technical solution, a support member is provided on the top surface of the protrusion, the support member is inserted into the second bracket, and the bottom surface of the second charging plate abuts against the top surface of the support member.

[0019] In the above technical solution, the bottom of the first support part is provided with a cavity, making the first support part a hollow structure, and a bottom plate is installed at the bottom of the first support part to close the bottom of the cavity;

[0020] And / or, the bottom of the base plate is also provided with an anti-slip pad;

[0021] And / or, the first support portion is further provided with a counterweight.

[0022] In the above technical solution, a power supply interface or power line is provided on the side wall of the first support part, and the power supply interface or power line is connected to the charging interface via a line.

[0023] In the above technical solution, the charging interface is provided with multiple elastic contact pins.

[0024] Due to the application of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0025] 1. In this utility model, a protrusion extending upward is provided at the first end of the first support part, and a positioning port is provided at the other end. The second support part is installed on the protrusion, and a charging interface is provided on the second support part. The positioning port and the second support part are used to support the otoscope, so that the otoscope can be supported and placed obliquely by the base. It is suitable for supporting and placing otoscopes of different shapes, and has a wider range of applications. At the same time, the setting of the charging interface allows the otoscope to be charged when it is placed on the base, making the function more extensive and the practicality stronger.

[0026] 2. In this utility model, the charging interface is directly set on the second support part. While the second support part supports the otoscope, it can also charge the otoscope, so that the otoscope can be charged without external wiring, which improves the convenience of charging, and has more functions and is more practical.

[0027] 3. In this utility model, the end face of the positioning port is connected to the end face of the second end of the first support part. In this way, when the end of the otoscope is connected to the wire, the positioning port can make way for the wire, preventing the wire from being bent and damaged over a long period of time, thus reducing the maintenance rate and maintenance cost.

[0028] 4. In this utility model, an anti-slip pad is provided at the bottom of the first support part, which can ensure the stability of the base during use, prevent the problem of sliding and falling, and make it safer;

[0029] 5. In this utility model, a counterweight is set inside the base to increase the weight of the base, making the base less prone to moving and tipping over, improving stability during use, and ensuring the stability of the otoscope after placement. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0040] Example 1: See Figure 1-8 As shown, a multifunctional otoscope base includes a first support part 1 and a second support part 2. The first end of the first support part 1 is provided with an upwardly extending protrusion 3, and the top of the second end of the first support part 1 is provided with a positioning port 4. The second support part 2 is mounted on the protrusion 3.

[0041] The second support part 2 is provided with a charging interface 5.

[0042] In this embodiment, taking the illustrated direction as an example, the first end of the first support is the left end, and the second end is the right end. The second support is a V-shaped structure, an L-shaped structure, or a C-shaped structure. In this embodiment, the second support is a V-shaped structure, forming an opening at a 90° to 120° angle to the upper right, preferably a 90° to 100° opening. The protrusion is located at the top of the left end of the first support, and the second support is directly mounted on the protrusion. The base supports the otoscope 6. In this invention, taking the illustrated direction as an example, the bottom left side of the otoscope 6 has an extended otoscope module 7, which has a camera or photographing function. The top left side of the otoscope has a display module 8, used to display the image observed by the otoscope module in real time. A charging module 9 is located on the bottom right side of the otoscope module. In use, the otoscope is placed directly on the base, with the right end of the otoscope resting against the positioning port. The positioning port supports and limits the right end of the otoscope, preventing it from moving to the right and detaching from the base, and also preventing it from moving back and forth. At this time, the bottom surface of the otoscope near its left end rests against the charging port. The charging module rests precisely against the charging port, with the extended otoscope module located at the left end of the protrusion and the second support. The otoscope can be charged via the charging port and the charging module. This design utilizes the base to position and limit the otoscope, preventing it from being placed directly on the table and tipping over. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for a direct charging cable connection; the charging port on the base allows for direct charging. In this system, the base not only positions, supports, and limits the otoscope but also charges it. Simply place the otoscope on the base to charge—convenient, quick, and highly functional. Additionally, the angled placement of the otoscope prevents direct contact between the otoscope module and the display module and the table, reducing the repair rate, extending its lifespan, and ensuring normal use of the otoscope.

[0043] See Figure 1-3 As shown, one end of the positioning port 4 is connected to the end face of the second end of the first support part 1, and the other end of the positioning port 4 extends toward the protrusion 3. That is, the right end of the positioning port 4 is connected to the right end face of the first support part 1, and the left end extends toward the protrusion 3.

[0044] The positioning port 4 has a recessed arc-shaped groove 10 in the middle.

[0045] In this embodiment, the positioning port includes a first groove 11 and a connecting groove 12 that are interconnected. The connecting groove is located at the right end of the first groove and is connected to the right end face of the first support. The arc-shaped groove is located at the right end of the first groove, and the bottom plane of the arc-shaped groove is below the bottom plane of the left end of the connecting groove. The top surface of the connecting groove is inclined downward from left to right. In this way, when in use, the right end of the otoscope is placed into the first groove, and its right end abuts against the arc-shaped groove. The right end of the otoscope has a connecting wire interface 13, which is directly opposite the connecting groove. In this way, if it is necessary to connect the connecting wire and the connecting wire interface of the otoscope, the connecting groove makes way so that the connecting wire can be smoothly connected to the connecting wire interface, thereby enabling the otoscope to connect with external devices (for data transmission, etc., and of course, it can also be used as a charging interface, supplementing the charging module). In this way, when the otoscope is placed on the base, data transmission can be carried out without placing the otoscope directly on the table. During data transmission, the otoscope can be normally stored in the base, preventing wear and tear, falling off, and other problems. The first groove can hold the right end of the otoscope, thus limiting the position of the otoscope.

[0046] See Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 4, the second support part 2 includes a second bracket 14 and a second charging plate 15. The top surface of the second bracket 14 is provided with a positioning slot 16 that extends through both the left and right ends. The top of the second charging plate 15 is provided with a charging interface 5. The bottom of the positioning slot 16 is provided with a clearance slot 17 that communicates with the interior of the second bracket 14. The second charging plate 15 is disposed inside the second bracket 14. The charging interface 5 passes through the clearance slot 17 and is disposed inside the positioning slot 16.

[0047] The bottom surface of the positioning slot 16 is inclined downward from left to right.

[0048] In this embodiment, if only the positioning port on the right end of the base supports and limits the otoscope, the left end of the otoscope may shift, or the charging module of the otoscope may not be accurately aligned with the charging interface, resulting in unstable charging. Therefore, a positioning slot is also provided. The bottom surface of the positioning slot is inclined downward from left to right. The positioning slot limits the left end of the otoscope, which can not only support the left end of the otoscope, but also prevent the otoscope from moving back and forth, ensuring the positioning effect. Furthermore, the weight of the otoscope presses on the base, achieving stable support of the base for the otoscope. This ensures stable contact between the charging interface and the charging module during charging, thus achieving stable charging.

[0049] See Figure 3 , 4As shown, a positioning groove 18 is provided at the outer edge of the top surface of the protrusion 3, and the outer edge of the bottom surface of the second bracket 14 is inserted into the positioning groove 18. In this embodiment, a downwardly extending protruding edge is provided at the outer edge of the bottom surface of the second bracket, which matches the positioning groove. The second bracket is placed on the protrusion, and the protruding edge abuts against the positioning groove, thereby realizing the positioning and support of the connection between the second bracket and the protrusion.

[0050] The second bracket is snapped into the positioning groove, or the second bracket is secured to the protrusion by fasteners. In this embodiment, the second bracket is secured to the protrusion by fasteners, which are bolts. After the second bracket and the protrusion are positioned by being inserted into the positioning groove at the outer edge of the bottom surface of the second bracket, the bolts are used to lock and fix the second bracket, thereby achieving a stable connection between the second bracket and the protrusion. The positioning groove allows the second bracket to be quickly connected and positioned to the protrusion, facilitating the subsequent connection of the second bracket and the protrusion with bolts (the second bracket and the protrusion will have corresponding holes, such as screw holes, for bolt insertion). Of course, the positioning groove and the second bracket can also have mutually cooperating protrusions and slots to achieve the snapping of the second bracket and the positioning groove.

[0051] See Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a support member 19 is provided on the top surface of the protrusion 3. The support member 19 is inserted into the second bracket 14, and the bottom surface of the second charging plate 15 abuts against the top surface of the support member 19.

[0052] In this embodiment, the second bracket has a hollow bottom structure, with the clearance groove communicating with the hollow bottom of the second bracket. This hollow space is used to accommodate the second charging board. To facilitate the installation of the second charging board and achieve quick installation, a support member is provided on the top surface of the protrusion, preferably two spaced-apart support members. The two sides of the bottom surface of the second charging board abut against the two support members respectively. Then, the second bracket is placed on the protrusion, so that the top surface of the second charging board abuts against the hollow top surface of the bottom of the second bracket. At this time, the charging interface passes through the clearance groove and is positioned in the positioning slot, achieving quick positioning of the second charging board. The charging interface is provided with multiple elastic pins. When the left end of the otoscope is placed on the second bracket, the charging module on the otoscope will first press against the elastic pins, compressing them, thereby ensuring a stable electrical connection between the charging interface and the elastic pins, achieving stable charging of the otoscope.

[0053] See Figure 2 , 6As shown, to power the charging interface, a power supply interface 20 or a power cord is provided on the side wall of the first support part 1. The power supply interface or power cord is connected to the charging interface via a line. In this embodiment, it is set as a charging interface, which is connected to a second charging board via a line. According to the charging voltage required by the otoscope, a corresponding step-down circuit is set on the second charging board to ensure that the power supply interface can power the charging interface and ensure normal charging of the otoscope. In this way, the otoscope does not need to be charged using a power cord or USB cable, preventing damage to the circuit due to bending during charging, or damage to the otoscope charging interface or power supply interface.

[0054] See Figure 2 , 6 As shown, the bottom of the first support part 1 is provided with a cavity 21, making the first support part 1 a hollow structure, and a bottom plate 22 is installed at the bottom of the first support part 1 to close the bottom of the cavity 21.

[0055] The protrusion and the first support are integrally formed. Therefore, the cavity is located within the first support and the protrusion. The cavity design allows the first support and the protrusion to have a hollow structure, reducing material usage and cost. It also facilitates the wiring arrangement for the internal power supply interface (which can be a USB interface, Type-C interface, or other type of interface), power cord, and the circuit connection to the second charging board. A through-slot on the top surface of the protrusion communicates with the cavity, allowing wiring to pass through the cavity and connect to the second charging board, thus connecting the second charging board to the power supply interface or power cord. Preferably, in this embodiment, the through-slot is located between the two support members to facilitate the connection of the wiring and the second charging board. The base plate is detachably connected to the first support, which can be achieved using a snap-fit ​​connection or a bolt fixing method, facilitating the installation and removal of the base plate.

[0056] The bottom of the base plate 22 is also provided with an anti-slip pad 23. Since the base is placed directly on the table or other table surface, the anti-slip pad is provided to prevent the base from sliding. More importantly, the anti-slip pad is a flexible structure, which also serves as a flexible support and buffer.

[0057] The first support portion 1 is also equipped with a counterweight 24. Since the first support portion and the protrusion adopt a hollow structure, the base is preferably made of plastic, which is relatively lightweight. In order to prevent the base from tipping over, a counterweight is set in the first support portion to increase the weight of the base, making it more resistant to tipping over and giving it a better texture.
