Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of medical devices, and in particular relates to an examination auxiliary device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the increasing health awareness of the general public, gynecological examinations have become more frequent. Gynecological ultrasound examinations typically employ two methods: transabdominal and transvaginal. Relatively speaking, transvaginal ultrasound has advantages over transabdominal ultrasound. During the examination, the patient lies supine on the examination bed with her hips elevated. Clinically, a cushion is usually placed under the patient's hips. While fine-tuning the hip height, the patient still needs to cooperate with the doctor, supporting herself with her feet on the bed and voluntarily raising her hips to a suitable height. Elevating the hips primarily improves imaging, allowing for better observation of the uterine cavity, including the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. It can also reveal conditions such as uterine fibroids and ovarian tumors. However, for patients who are weak, elderly, or obese, prolonged ultrasound examinations can lead to fatigue, potentially affecting the quality of the ultrasound scan and the doctor's assessment of the condition. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an examination assistance device that allows doctors to adjust the height at which the patient's buttocks are raised according to actual needs, without requiring the patient to actively raise them.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The patient places their buttocks in the recessed area. The position of the support plate is adjusted using a movable component, based on the size of the patient's buttocks. This allows the support plate to move the anti-slip pad to the corresponding position on the patient's lumbosacral region. Then, medical staff control the angle of the swinging plate using an adjustable component, lifting the patient's buttocks. As the patient's buttocks are lifted, the anti-slip pad adheres to the skin of the lumbosacral region, effectively preventing the patient's body from sliding down the swinging plate through friction. The anti-slip pad also prevents the buttocks from sliding down the swinging plate and interfering with the ultrasound examination. This allows the doctor to adjust the height of the raised buttocks as needed, without requiring the patient to actively raise their buttocks, saving the patient more energy for subsequent examinations.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this 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 within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Example 1

[0021] The inspection auxiliary device described in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, it includes a horizontally arranged base plate 7, on which a freely swinging swing plate 3 is hinged; the swing plate 3 is pivotally hinged to the base plate 7, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, two hinge seats are fixed on the top left side of the base plate 7, which are arranged in a front-to-back interval. A pivot is fixed on the front and rear side walls of the left end of the swing plate 3. The two hinge seats are provided with through holes for mounting the pivot, so that the base plate 7 can swing around the hinge point as the center. Of course, the swing plate 3 can be hinged to the base plate 7 by a hinge.

[0022] A protective strip 1 is fixed to the side wall of the hinge end of the swing plate 3, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the protective strip 1 is located on the side wall of the hinge end of the swing plate 3. The protective strip 1 is supported by materials such as rubber, silicone, latex, and foam. Its main purpose is to isolate the human skin from the angle between the swing plate 3 and the base plate 7, prevent the swing plate 3 from pinching the patient's skin at the angle when swinging, and avoid the patient's skin from being bumped at the corner of the swing plate 3.

[0023] To elaborate further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a preferred embodiment includes a support rod 4. A mounting groove is provided on the top of the base plate 7, and a freely rotatable first threaded rod 6 is horizontally installed in the mounting groove. One end of the first threaded rod 6 passes through the side wall of the base plate 7 and is fixed with a handle. A threaded sleeve 5, threadedly engaged with the first threaded rod 6, is fitted onto the first threaded rod 6. A support rod 4 is hinged between the swing plate 3 and the threaded sleeve 5. Figure 1As shown, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the base plate 7, medical staff can turn the handle to rotate the first threaded rod 6, so that the first threaded rod 6, through the threaded engagement with the threaded sleeve 5, drives the threaded sleeve 5 to move left and right along the mounting groove. During the movement, the threaded sleeve 5 will push or pull the support rod 4, causing the support rod 4 to swing and support the swing plate 3. Due to the change in the position of the threaded sleeve 5, the height at which the support rod 4 supports the swing plate 3 will also change, thereby effectively adjusting the swing angle of the swing plate 3 and the height at which the swing plate 3 supports the patient's buttocks. This solution constitutes an adjustment component for adjusting the swing angle of the swing plate 3. Of course, the adjustment component can also be an electric push rod. The base of the electric push rod is hinged to the base plate 7, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod is hinged to the swing plate 3. The telescopic extension of the electric push rod drives the swing angle of the swing plate 3, so that the swing plate 3 can raise the patient's buttocks.

[0024] The swing plate 3 has a groove for positioning the buttocks, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the groove has an arc-shaped structure, which allows the patient's buttocks to fit better against the groove wall. The groove can provide basic positioning for the patient's legs. By allowing the patient to experience different tactile sensations of the buttocks, the patient can clearly feel where their buttocks should be placed on the swing plate 3. Of course, the groove can also adopt a conical structure.

[0025] The side wall of the swing board 3 that is in contact with human skin is fixed with a protective pad. The protective pad is made of materials such as sponge, leather, and canvas. It is used to insulate the cold feeling on the swing board 3, making it softer and allowing the patient's buttocks to fit more comfortably on the swing board 3.

[0026] A support plate 10 is provided above the swing plate 3, parallel to it. The support plate 10 and the swing plate 3 are distributed parallel to each other at intervals. The support plate 10 has an arc-shaped structure, which makes the swing plate 3 more adaptable to the shape of the lumbosacral region between the patient's buttocks and waist, making the patient more comfortable when using it; of course, the support plate 10 can also be straight.

[0027] A number of universal balls are fixed on the support plate 10 and contact the swing plate 3. All universal balls are fixed on the side wall of the support plate 10 facing the swing plate 3, and all universal balls are evenly distributed along the length of the support plate 10. The support plate 10 can be supported by the universal balls, and the rolling characteristics of the universal balls can assist the support plate 10 in moving while supporting it.

[0028] An anti-slip pad 2 is fixed on the support plate 10. The anti-slip pad 2 is located on the side wall of the support plate 10 facing the human body. The anti-slip pad 2 is made of natural rubber (NR), neoprene rubber (CR), nitrile rubber (NBR), silicone, etc. The above materials have a large friction when in contact with human skin, so that when the anti-slip pad 2 comes into contact with the human skin in the lumbosacral region, it can effectively prevent the patient's body from sliding down the swing plate 3 through friction. In addition, the buttocks of the human body are more protruding than the waist, so after the anti-slip pad 2 comes into contact with the human skin in the lumbosacral region, the anti-slip pad 2 can block the buttocks and prevent the patient's buttocks from sliding down the swing plate 3 and affecting the ultrasound examination.

[0029] To elaborate further, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the preferred embodiment includes two meshing bevel gears 8. A sliding groove is provided on the swing plate 3, and a movable block 12 that can move along the groove is engaged within the groove. The sliding groove is opened along the length direction of the swing plate 3. After the movable block 12 is engaged within the groove, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, it can move left and right along the slide rail; the moving block 12 is connected to the support plate 10 by several connecting blocks 11, as shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting blocks 11 are evenly spaced front to back on the wall of the moving block 12 facing outwards from the slide groove; this allows the moving block 12 to move the support plate 10 via the connecting blocks 11 when it moves; several partitions 13 are fixed on the side wall of the swing plate 3 facing the human body, corresponding to the slide groove, and all partitions 13 are located in the gaps between all the connecting blocks 11; as Figure 2 As shown, the partition 13 is located at the opening of the slide groove. The partition 13 supports the human body, keeping the skin outside the slide groove and preventing injury to the skin when the moving block 12 moves. Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the partitions 13 are evenly spaced, and each partition 13 passes through the gap between the connecting blocks 11, so that the partitions 13 do not affect the movement of the moving block 12; a freely rotatable second threaded rod 9 is installed in the slide groove, and the moving block 12 has a threaded through hole that is threaded to the second threaded rod 9. One bevel gear 8 is fitted onto the second threaded rod 9, and a through hole communicating with the slide groove is opened on the side wall of the swing plate 3. A rotating shaft is independently installed in the through hole, and another bevel gear 8 is fitted onto one end of the rotating shaft located in the slide groove. A handle is fixed on the other end of the rotating shaft; in use, the rotating shaft is driven by rotating the handle, and the rotating shaft drives the second threaded rod 9 to rotate through the meshing of the two bevel gears 8. The second threaded rod 9 drives the moving block 12 to move along the slide groove through the threaded engagement, so that the moving block 12 drives the support plate 10 to move through the connecting block 11; patients of different ages and body types have different hips. The sizes of the buttocks are different, so by moving the position of the support plate 10 on the swing plate 3, the anti-slip pad 2 is moved to the position corresponding to the lumbosacral region of different patients, so that the anti-slip pad 2 can adapt to patients with different buttock sizes, and the applicability of this examination auxiliary device can be improved; the whole solution constitutes a moving component for moving the swing plate 3 along the length direction of the support plate 10; of course, the moving component can also be a motor. The swing plate 3 is provided with a sliding groove, and a moving block 12 that can move along it is engaged in the sliding groove. The moving block 12 is connected to the support plate 10 by several connecting blocks 11. A freely rotatable second threaded rod 9 is installed in the sliding groove. The motor is installed in the sliding groove, and the output end of the motor is fixed to one end of the second threaded rod 9. The motor drives the second threaded rod 9 to rotate, and the second threaded rod 9 drives the moving block 12 to move through the thread engagement. The moving block 12 drives the support plate 10 to move through the connecting blocks 11.

[0030] In actual use, the patient places their buttocks in the groove and rotates the handle, causing the shaft to rotate through the meshing of two bevel gears 8, which in turn drives the second threaded rod 9 to rotate. The second threaded rod 9 drives the moving block 12 to move along the slide groove. During the movement, the moving block 12 drives the support plate 10 to move through the connecting block 11, thereby adjusting the position of the support plate 10 according to the size of the patient's buttocks, so that the support plate 10 drives the anti-slip pad 2 to the corresponding position on the patient's lumbosacral region. Afterwards, the medical staff rotates the handle to rotate the first threaded rod 6, causing the first threaded rod 6 to drive the threaded sleeve 5 to move left and right along the mounting groove. 5. During the movement, the support rod 4 will be pushed or pulled, causing the support rod 4 to swing at an angle and support the swing plate 3. This swings the swing plate 3, lifting the patient's buttocks. When the patient's buttocks are lifted, the anti-slip pad 2 will adhere to the skin of the patient's lumbosacral region, effectively preventing the patient's body from sliding down the swing plate 3 through friction. The anti-slip pad 2 can also block the buttocks, preventing the patient's buttocks from sliding down the swing plate 3 and affecting the ultrasound examination. Thus, the doctor can adjust the height of the patient's buttocks as needed, without the patient having to actively lift them, saving the patient more energy to cooperate with the doctor's subsequent examination.
