Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ear, nose and throat examination technology, and specifically relates to an ear, nose and throat examination device. Background Technology

[0002] Ear, nose, and throat examinations must be performed with care because the ears, nose, and throat are deep, tiny cavities. Therefore, special lighting devices and examination instruments must be used for the examination. Commonly used instruments include a 100-watt examination lamp with a focusing lens, a forehead mirror, an otoscope, a pneumatic otoscope, forceps, cotton balls, cerumen hooks, tongue depressors, anterior rhinoscopes, posterior rhinoscopes, indirect laryngoscopes, tuning forks, and nebulizers.

[0003] When examining the throat, fiberoptic laryngoscopy involves inserting a flexible fiberoptic laryngoscope through the nasal cavity or oral cavity. This method is less painful and allows for a detailed examination of all parts of the throat.

[0004] When a fiberoptic laryngoscope is placed directly into the larynx through the mouth, the body will reflexively use the tongue to block the laryngoscope, preventing it from moving. The tongue needs to be controlled by a tongue depressor, but both the tongue depressor and the fiberoptic laryngoscope need to be controlled by hand. Operating the fiberoptic laryngoscope with one hand will prevent it from entering the pharynx. Utility Model Content

[0005] Purpose of utility model

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an ear, nose, and throat examination device to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] Technical solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an ear, nose, and throat examination device, comprising a bonding plate, a connecting hose at the bottom of the bonding plate, a connecting groove in the middle of the bonding plate, the connecting hose being aligned with the connecting groove, mounting grooves on both sides of the bonding plate, mounting holes on both sides of the inner wall of the mounting groove, a limiting structure being rotatably connected inside the mounting hole, and a lighting structure at the top of the bonding plate.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting structure includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the interior of a mounting hole, a planar spiral spring is provided between the rotating shaft and the mounting hole, and a rotating plate is provided at the bottom of the planar spiral spring.

[0010] Preferably, the number of rotating plates is set to two, and the two rotating plates are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the horizontal center line of the bonding plate, and the rotating plates are set to be arc-shaped.

[0011] Preferably, the lighting structure includes mounting shafts disposed on both sides of the top center of the bonding plate, and mounting strips are provided on the top of the two mounting shafts.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting strip is provided with LED lights, and the number of LED lights is set to multiple, with the multiple LED lights evenly distributed at intervals on the bottom of the mounting strip.

[0013] Preferably, the top of the mounting strip is provided with a positioning plate, the middle of the positioning plate is provided with a positioning hole, the interior of the positioning hole is provided with a disinfecting sponge, and one side of the outer wall of the positioning hole is provided with a liquid inlet.

[0014] Beneficial effects

[0015] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0016] This invention limits the tongue by having a connecting hose in contact with it, and then inserts the fiber laryngoscope into the oral cavity through the connecting hose and connecting groove, allowing the fiber laryngoscope to enter the pharynx. At the same time, the rotating plate contacts the corner of the mouth, opening the mouth for subsequent fixation of the examination instrument, thus avoiding direct pressure of the oral cavity on the connecting hose.

[0017] When examining the pharynx with a fiberoptic laryngoscope, the laryngoscope passes through the positioning hole and comes into contact with a sterile sponge. The sterile sponge is moistened with disinfectant through the inlet. As the fiberoptic laryngoscope passes through the sterile sponge, the sponge disinfects the surface of the laryngoscope. Meanwhile, the LED light illuminates the oral cavity and pharynx. Attached Figure Description
