Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of medical device technology, specifically a device for measuring penile angle and length. Background Technology

[0002] Peyronie's disease, also known as penile fibrosis, is a connective tissue proliferative disorder that occurs between the two layers of fascia of the corpora cavernosa. Specifically, it involves fibrosis of the tunica albuginea of ​​the corpora cavernosa, resulting in single or multiple plaques or nodules on the dorsal or lateral side of the penis. It is most common in middle-aged men, with a peak incidence around 50 to 55 years of age, but is not limited to this age group, and the incidence has been increasing in recent years.

[0003] The clinical manifestations of Peyronie's disease are mainly divided into two stages based on the disease's progression: the active phase and the quiescent phase. The active phase mainly involves inflammatory manifestations, erectile pain, and penile curvature deformity. Approximately one-third of patients experience painless penile curvature. In the early stages or active phase, some patients may experience pain gradually or suddenly. The quiescent phase occurs 12 to 24 months after onset, gradually stabilizing and entering a relatively quiet period, also known as the resting phase. Clinically, this is characterized by the stabilization of penile curvature deformity and the disappearance of erectile pain. Pathologically, it is characterized by the formation of mature scar tissue. During this phase, erectile pain is relieved in most patients, but penile curvature remains. Some patients may also experience erectile dysfunction. However, most patients experience no particular symptoms or obvious signs, and generally, there are no other adverse consequences or malignant tendencies.

[0004] Treatment options for Peyronie's disease include non-surgical and surgical treatments. Non-surgical treatment is mainly based on clinical experience and aims to improve penile deformity and eliminate pain, while softening and shrinking the nodules as much as possible. Surgical treatment aims to correct penile curvature deformity and erectile dysfunction. Indications for surgery include: (1) the disease is in a stable phase (no progression for 6 months); (2) penile curvature is basically stable; (3) penile curvature >30° or penile curvature combined with erectile dysfunction, making it difficult to have sexual intercourse, and the presence of nodule calcification; (4) conservative treatment is ineffective; (5) the patient desires a rapid and stable relief of the condition.

[0005] Currently, some doctors use measuring rulers and protractors to measure the curvature of the penis after erection, but this often results in errors. Therefore, specialized medical instruments are needed to assist in diagnosis and reduce errors. Utility Model Content

[0006] To facilitate doctors in measuring the angle and length of a patient's penis, this application provides a device for measuring the angle and length of the penis.

[0007] A device for measuring the angle and length of a penis includes: a connecting part and two measuring rulers, the measuring rulers having length graduations along their length direction and grooves along their length direction; the connecting part is slidably connected to the grooves of the two measuring rulers and is capable of moving along the grooves in the length direction of the measuring rulers; the working axis of the connecting part is parallel to the depth direction of the grooves, and one of the grooves is capable of rotating relative to the connecting part around the working axis.

[0008] In one embodiment of this application, the other slide cannot rotate relative to the connecting part around the working axis.

[0009] In one embodiment of this application, the measuring ruler includes a first measuring ruler and a second measuring ruler. The groove of the first measuring ruler is slidably and rotatably connected to the connecting part, and the groove of the second measuring ruler is only slidably connected to the connecting part. The connecting part can only move along the length direction of the second measuring ruler. The penis angle and length measuring device also includes an angle disk and an angle pointer. The angle disk has angle scales around the working axis. The angle disk is connected to the connecting part and can move along the length direction of the second measuring ruler with the connecting part. The angle pointer can rotate around the working axis. The first measuring ruler is connected to the angle pointer. When the first measuring ruler rotates around the working axis, it drives the angle pointer to rotate around the working axis.

[0010] In one embodiment of this application, another chute can also rotate relative to the connecting part around the working axis.

[0011] In one embodiment of this application, the connecting part is provided with an angle plate, and the angle plate is provided with an angle scale around the working axis; the measuring ruler includes a first measuring ruler, the connecting part is slidably connected and rotatably connected to the slide groove of the first measuring ruler, the slide groove of the first measuring ruler is provided with a marking line, the marking line is parallel to the length direction of the first measuring ruler and passes through the working axis, and when the first measuring ruler rotates, the marking line can indicate the angle scale.

[0012] In one embodiment of this application, a transparent plate perpendicular to the working axis is provided at the slide groove. The transparent plate is located outside the movement path of the connecting part and has length markings. A length reference point is provided at the end of the connecting part near the transparent plate, and the length reference point coincides with the projection of the working axis at the end of the connecting part.

[0013] In one embodiment of this application, the length scale is located in the area outside the slide groove of the measuring ruler.

[0014] In one embodiment of this application, the connecting part is provided with a length pointer, which can indicate the position of the working axis relative to the length scale.

[0015] In one embodiment of this application, one of the measuring rulers is connected to a soft measuring tape for measuring penile circumference.

[0016] In one embodiment of this application, the two measuring rulers are transparent measuring rulers.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this application are at least as follows:

[0018] 1. Because one of the measuring rulers is rotatably connected to the connecting part, the angle of one measuring ruler relative to the other can be adjusted. The connecting part is slidably connected to the grooves of the two measuring rulers, allowing the position of the measuring rulers relative to the connecting part to be adjustable. This enables the connecting part to reach the curvature point of the penis, with one measuring ruler positioned at the pubic bone and the other aligned with the glans penis. This allows the two measuring rulers to conform to the curved penis. The sum of the lengths of the two segments measured by the two measuring rulers is the total length of the penis, reducing measurement error. Since both measuring rulers are slidably connected to the connecting part, their positions relative to the connecting part can be adjusted, minimizing measurement length error.

[0019] 2. The angle between the two measuring scales can be determined by using the angle dial, thereby measuring the curvature angle of the penis. Attached Figure Description

[0032] To provide a clearer understanding of the technical features, objectives, and effects of this application, specific embodiments of this application are now described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate components with the same or similar structures but the same function.

[0033] In this document, “illustrative” means “serving as an example, illustration or description”, and any illustration or implementation described herein as “illustrative” should not be construed as a more preferred or advantageous technical solution.

[0034] To keep the drawings concise, only the parts relevant to this application are shown schematically in each drawing, and they do not represent the actual structure of the product. In addition, to make the drawings concise and easy to understand, in some drawings, only one of the components with the same structure or function is shown schematically, or only one of them is labeled.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 6 Learn more about this application.

[0036] See Figure 1 A device for measuring the angle and length of a penis includes: a connecting part 301 and two measuring rulers, each measuring ruler having length graduations and grooves along its length; the connecting part 301 is slidably connected to the grooves of the two measuring rulers and is capable of moving along the grooves in the length direction of the measuring rulers; the working axis of the connecting part 301 is parallel to the depth direction of the grooves, one of the grooves is capable of rotating relative to the connecting part 301 around the working axis, and the other groove is not capable of rotating relative to the connecting part 301 around the working axis.

[0037] For better description of this application, the two measuring rulers are named the first measuring ruler 101 and the second measuring ruler 201, respectively. The length scale of the first measuring ruler 101 is the first length scale 102, and the length scale of the second measuring ruler 201 is the second length scale 202.

[0038] See Figures 1 to 3The first measuring ruler 101 has a sliding groove connected to a first slider 103, and the second measuring ruler 201 has a sliding groove connected to a second slider 203. The connecting part 301 is fixedly connected to the second slider 203. The second slider 203 cannot rotate relative to the second measuring ruler 201 around its working axis, thus the second measuring ruler 201 cannot rotate relative to the connecting part 301 around its working axis. The sliding groove of the second measuring ruler 201 is only slidably connected to the connecting part 301, and the connecting part 301 can only move along the length direction of the second measuring ruler 201. The first slider 103 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 301, and / or, the first measuring ruler 101 is not only slidably connected to the first slider 103 but also rotatably connected to it. Therefore, the sliding groove of the first measuring ruler 101 is both rotatably and slidably connected to the connecting part 301, allowing the first measuring ruler 101 to rotate relative to the connecting part 301 around its working axis. When measuring a curved penis 501, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 The first measuring ruler 101 rotates relative to the second measuring ruler 201, so that the first measuring ruler 101 can fit against one part of the penis 501 and the second measuring ruler 201 can fit against the other part of the penis 501. The first length scale 102 and the second length scale 202 are read. The total length of the penis 501 is obtained by calculating the sum of the lengths measured by the first measuring ruler 101 and the second measuring ruler 201.

[0039] Since both the first measuring ruler 101 and the second measuring ruler 201 can be adjusted relative to the connecting part 301, when one end of one measuring ruler is against the vicinity of the pubic bone, the other measuring ruler can be adjusted so that the end of the measuring ruler can be aligned with the glans penis. This allows the two ends of the extension direction of the assembly composed of the two measuring rulers to be located near the pubic bone and the glans penis, respectively, aligning with the head and root of the penis, thus improving the accuracy of the measurement length.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, the length scale is located in the area outside the slide groove of the measuring scale. To read the length scale more accurately, in one embodiment of this application, the connecting part 301 is provided with a length pointer 304, which can indicate the position of the working axis relative to the length scale. Both the first slider 103 and the second slider 203 are fixedly connected to the length pointer 304. (See also...) Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 1 The first slider 103 is equipped with a length pointer 304 to indicate the first length scale 102. Figure 4 The second slider 203 is equipped with a length pointer 304 to indicate the second length scale 202, thereby facilitating the reading of the position of the connecting part relative to the length scales of the two measuring rulers.

[0041] Of course, those skilled in the art to which this application pertains will understand that the length scale can also be located within the area of ​​the groove, and there are other ways to read the length scale, such as in one embodiment of this application, see [link to embodiment]. Figure 4 A transparent plate perpendicular to the working axis is provided at the slide groove. The transparent plate is located outside the movement path of the connecting part 301 to avoid affecting the movement of the connecting part 301 along the slide groove. The transparent plate has length markings located in the area inside the slide groove. A length reference point 306 is provided at the end of the connecting part 301 near the transparent plate. The length reference point 306 coincides with the projection of the working axis at the end of the connecting part 301. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 The first measuring ruler 101 is equipped with a transparent plate with length graduations. The position of the working axis can be obtained through the length reference point 306. Since the working axis is located at the curvature point of the penis 501, the length of the penis 501 on both sides of the curvature point can be read using the first measuring ruler 101 and the second measuring ruler 201. Preferably, when used, the measuring rulers are parallel to the extension direction of the penis 501 so that the first measuring ruler 101 and the second measuring ruler 201 can fit against the axis of the penis 501, thereby making the measurement more accurate. Preferably, in one embodiment of this application, the two measuring rulers are transparent, which makes it convenient for medical personnel to observe the angle and position of the measuring rulers relative to the penis 501, and to adjust the relative angle and position of the first measuring ruler 101 and the second measuring ruler 201, thereby making the measurement data more accurate.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the measuring ruler includes a first measuring ruler 101 and a second measuring ruler 201. The groove of the first measuring ruler 101 is slidably and rotatably connected to the connecting part 301. The second measuring ruler 201 is only slidably connected to the connecting part 301, and the connecting part 301 can only move along the length direction of the second measuring ruler 201. The penis angle and length measuring device also includes an angle disk 302 and an angle pointer 303. The angle disk 302 is provided with angle scales 305 around the working axis. The angle disk 302 is connected to the connecting part 301 and can move along the length direction of the second measuring ruler 201 with the connecting part 301. The angle pointer 303 can rotate around the working axis. The first measuring ruler 101 is connected to the angle pointer 303. When the first measuring ruler 101 rotates around the working axis, it drives the angle pointer 303 to rotate around the working axis. Since the connecting part 301 is only slidably connected to the second measuring ruler 201, the angle of the second measuring ruler 201 relative to the angle disk 302 is fixed. For example, see [link to example]. Figure 2The first measuring ruler 101 is rotatably and slidably connected to the connecting part 301 via the first slider 103. The first measuring ruler 101 is connected to the angle pointer 303 via the first slider 103. The angle disk 302 is fixedly connected to the connecting part 301. The connecting part 301 is fixedly connected to the second slider 203. The second measuring ruler 201 cannot rotate relative to the second slider 203 around the working axis, nor can it rotate relative to the connecting part 301 around the working axis. The length direction of the second measuring ruler 201 is always parallel to the 0° scale of the angle disk 302. Thus, when the first measuring ruler 101 drives the angle pointer 303 to swing the angle disk 302, the included angle between the first measuring ruler 101 and the second measuring ruler 201 can be obtained.

[0043] Of course, the angle disk 302 can also be connected in a sliding connection with the second measuring scale 201. The angle disk 302 can move along the length direction of the second measuring scale 201. The angle disk 302 is connected to the connecting part 301. When the connecting part 301 moves along the second measuring scale 201, it drives the angle disk 302 to move along the length direction of the second measuring scale 201.

[0044] Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains will understand that there are other ways to obtain the angle between the first measuring ruler 101 and the second measuring ruler 201, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 In one embodiment of this application, the end of the connecting part 301 is provided with an angle disk 302, and the angle disk 302 is provided with angle scales 305 around the working axis; the first slider 103 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 301 and slidably connected to the groove of the first measuring ruler 101, so that the connecting part 301 is slidably connected and rotatably connected to the groove of the first measuring ruler 101, and the first measuring ruler 101 can rotate relative to the connecting part 301 around the working axis; the connecting part 301 is only slidably connected to the second measuring ruler 201, so that the angle of the second measuring ruler 201 relative to the angle disk 302 is fixed; a marking line 104 is provided at the groove of the first measuring ruler 101. A transparent plate is provided at the slide groove, and a marking line 104 is provided on the transparent plate. The marking line 104 is parallel to the length direction of the first measuring ruler 101 and passes through the working axis. When the first measuring ruler 101 rotates, the marking line 104 can indicate the angle scale 305 of the first measuring ruler 101 on the angle disk 302, thereby obtaining the angle of the first measuring ruler 101 relative to the second measuring ruler 201 and obtaining the curvature of the penis 501. Of course, since the first slider 103 does not rotate relative to the first measuring ruler 101, the first slider 103 can rotate with the first measuring ruler 101 around the working axis, so the marking line 104 can be set on the first slider 103.

[0045] Those skilled in the art to which this application pertains will understand that the connecting part 301 in this application can be directly slidably connected to the slide groove without relying on the slider. The connecting part 301 can also be directly rotatably connected to the slide groove. For example, if the end of the connecting part 301 is provided with a disk, and the axis of the disk coincides with the working axis, the connecting part 301 achieves rotatable and slidable connection with the slide groove through the disk. Further details will not be elaborated here.

[0046] In one embodiment of this application, another chute is also rotatable relative to the connecting portion 301 about the working axis, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 , Figure 6 The connecting part 301 is directly rotatably and slidably connected to the two first measuring rulers 101 via a disk. Alternatively, the first slider 103 can be rotatably connected to the connecting part 301, and / or the first measuring ruler 101 can not only be slidably connected to the first slider 103, but also rotatably connected to the first slider 103. The second slider 203 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 301, and / or the first measuring ruler 101 can not only be slidably connected to the second slider 203, but also rotatably connected to the second slider 203. Alternatively, one end of the connecting part 301 can be directly rotatably and slidably connected to the first measuring ruler 101, and the other end can be rotatably and slidably connected to the other first measuring ruler 101 via a slider. This will not be elaborated further here, as long as both measuring rulers can rotate relative to the working axis of the connecting part 301.

[0047] This application provides a technical solution for measuring the rotation of two slides relative to the connecting part 301. In one embodiment of this application, the two ends of the connecting part 301 are directly connected to two first measuring rulers 101. Angle disks 302 are provided at both ends of the connecting part 301. Angle disks 302 are provided with angle scales 305 around the working axis. Marking lines 104 are provided at the slides of the first measuring rulers 101. The marking lines 104 are parallel to the length direction of the first measuring rulers 101 and pass through the working axis. When the first measuring rulers 101 rotate, the marking lines 104 can indicate the angle scales 305, thereby reading the angle data of the two first measuring rulers 101 relative to the two angle disks 302, and the included angle between the two first measuring rulers 101 can be calculated using the angle data.

[0048] In one embodiment of this application, one of the measuring rulers is connected to a flexible measuring tape 401 for measuring the circumference of the penis 501. See also Figure 1 The second measuring ruler 201 is connected to a flexible ruler 401. When the flexible ruler 401 is wrapped around the penis 501, it can fix the measuring ruler and assist in positioning.

[0049] It should be understood that although this specification describes various embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0050] The detailed descriptions listed above are merely specific descriptions of feasible embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent implementations or modifications made without departing from the spirit of the art of this application, such as combinations, divisions or repetitions of features, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
