[0002] The uterine curette is a commonly used medical instrument in obstetric and gynecological surgeries, mainly used for procedures such as induced abortion and diagnostic curettage. It is used to manipulate the uterine wall to remove embryonic tissue and obtain pathological specimens. Currently available uterine curettes are typically of a single, fixed design, with the curette head and handle fixedly connected. However, existing uterine curettes occupy a significant amount of space when not in use, which is inconvenient for storage and transportation, especially given limited medical device storage space. This wastes space and hinders the efficient use of the uterine curette. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a uterine curette with a folding function, including an operating handle 1. A fixed horizontal plate 2 is firmly fixedly installed on the left side of the operating handle 1, providing a stable support foundation for the subsequent structure. A folding hinge 3 is installed on the left side of the fixed horizontal plate 2. With the help of the special structure of the folding hinge 3, the folding horizontal plate 4 can be flexibly folded and unfolded. A curette spoon 5 is fixedly installed on the left side of the folding horizontal plate 4. When the curette is in the unfolded state, the curette spoon 5 can normally perform its scraping function in surgery. An elastic positioning device 6 is installed on the upper surface of the fixed horizontal plate 2, which plays a key role in positioning and fixing the unfolded and folded state of the folding horizontal plate 4.

[0021] The elastic positioning device 6 includes a fixed horizontal block 601 fixedly installed on the upper surface of the fixed horizontal plate 2. An extension horizontal plate 602 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixed horizontal block 601, providing space for the installation and movement of other components. A slidable U-shaped operating rod 603 is provided inside the extension horizontal plate 602. An elongated through hole is opened on the upper surface of the extension horizontal plate 602, allowing the U-shaped operating rod 603 to slide smoothly inside the elongated through hole, thereby achieving position adjustment. An L-shaped positioning plate 604 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the U-shaped operating rod 603, with a positioning rod 605 passing through the bottom of the L-shaped positioning plate 604. A positioning through hole is fixedly installed on the inner side of the extension horizontal plate 602, the size of which precisely matches the size of the positioning rod 605. When the positioning rod 605 is inserted into the positioning through hole, it can position the U-shaped operating rod 603. An extension crossbar 606 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the U-shaped operating rod 603. A stabilizing crossbar 607 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the extension crossbar 606. The stabilizing crossbar 607 further enhances the stability of the structure. An insertion crossbar 608 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the stabilizing crossbar 607. A fixing block 609 is provided on the outer surface of the insertion crossbar 608 and connected to the upper surface of the folding crossbar 4. An elliptical through hole is opened inside the fixing block 609. The insertion crossbar 608 passes through the interior of the elliptical through hole. This structural design not only ensures the connection stability between the fixing block 609 and the insertion crossbar 608, but also allows a certain degree of movement to adapt to different states of the folding crossbar 4.

[0022] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer surface of the operating handle 1 is provided with an anti-slip layer, and the outer surface of the anti-slip layer is uniformly provided with friction anti-slip textures. These textures can effectively increase the friction between the medical staff's hands and the operating handle 1. Even if the hands are sweaty during the operation, it can ensure that the medical staff can firmly hold the operating handle 1, thereby improving the safety and accuracy of the operation.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0024] S1. When the uterine curette needs to be folded for storage or transportation, the medical staff first pulls the positioning rod 605 out of the positioning through hole on the inner side of the extension plate 602, then holds the U-shaped operating rod 603 and pulls the U-shaped operating rod 603 to the right so that it slides in the long through hole on the upper surface of the extension plate 602. As the U-shaped operating rod 603 moves, the folding plate 4 is no longer restricted by the insertion cross post 608. Then, the medical staff rotates the folding plate 4 along the folding hinge 3 towards the fixed plate 2 so that the curette spoon 5 gradually approaches the fixed plate 2 until the folding plate 4 is in contact with the fixed plate 2, thus completing the folding operation.

[0025] S2. During the surgical preparation stage, the folded uterine curette needs to be unfolded. The medical staff will disengage the positioning rod 605 from the positioning through hole to release the lock on the folded horizontal plate 4. Then, they will hold the U-shaped operating rod 603 again and pull it to the left. Then, the folded horizontal plate 4 will be rotated along the folding hinge 3 away from the fixed horizontal plate 2 until the folded horizontal plate 4 and the fixed horizontal plate 2 are on the same plane. At this time, the curette 5 is in a normal working state. Finally, the U-shaped operating rod 603 will be released. Under the action of gravity, the U-shaped operating rod 603 will move to the left with the extension horizontal column 606 and the insertion horizontal column 608. The insertion horizontal column 608 will be inserted into the fixing block 609 to fix the folded horizontal plate 4 and ensure the stability of the curette 5 during the surgical operation.

[0026] In summary, this folding uterine curette, through the U-shaped operating rod 603 and the extending crossbar 606, drives the insertion crossbar 608 to be inserted into the fixing block 609 to achieve the locking operation of the folding hinge 3 and the folding crossbar 4. This makes the operation of unfolding and folding the folding crossbar 4 simple and convenient. Medical staff can easily unfold and fold the folding crossbar 4 by simply sliding the U-shaped operating rod 603. This saves time and effort when preparing and tidying up instruments after surgery and helps to make it easier to use.

[0027] This foldable uterine curette, with its folding hinge 3, allows the curette spoon 5 and folding crossbar 4 to be folded up when not in use. Compared to the traditional one-piece uterine curette, it greatly reduces the space occupied and can make more efficient use of limited space resources during the storage and transportation of medical devices, avoiding space waste.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] The preferred embodiments of this patent have been described in detail above. However, this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this patent.
