Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a ring-shaped endoscope, and more particularly to a tonsil ring endoscope suitable for medical use in the field of medical devices. Background Technology

[0002] A tonsillar ring endoscope is a medical device specifically designed for the medical field, particularly for tonsil examination and related treatment procedures. It mainly consists of several components, including a handle for operation, a endoscope body that extends deep into the oral cavity to observe the tonsil area, and an expansion component that dilates the endoscope within the oral cavity. Its ring shape adapts to the physiological structures of the oral cavity and surrounding tonsils, facilitating observation of the tonsils' condition by doctors, such as for inflammation, swelling, or suppuration. It also plays an important role in minor treatment procedures such as local tonsil medication application and tissue biopsy.

[0003] Chinese patent CN216754503U discloses surgical instruments and an endoscope assembly using the surgical instruments. It proposes an insertion-type connection structure and installation method between the working end of the front part of the surgical instrument and the rod. By using the insertion-type working end, the rod with a smaller outer diameter can be implanted separately along the endoscope instrument channel. This allows for the convenient implantation of various types and outer diameter surgical instruments without being limited by the size of the endoscope, thereby taking into account both minimally invasive and therapeutic effects, and improving surgical efficiency and success rate.

[0004] During the procedure, when the patient clenches their teeth involuntarily, it is difficult to keep the position of the tonsillar ring endoscope stable in the oral cavity. Since the endoscope needs to provide a clear view of the tonsil area through precise angles and positions, the movement of the mouth will cause the endoscope to deviate from the correct observation position. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem that this utility model aims to solve in view of the above-mentioned prior art is that when the patient involuntarily bites down during the operation, it is difficult to keep the position of the tonsil ring endoscope stable in the oral cavity. Since the endoscope needs to provide a clear field of view of the tonsil area through precise angles and positions, the movement of the mouth will cause the endoscope to deviate from the correct observation position.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a tonsil ring endoscope suitable for medical use, comprising an expansion assembly. The expansion assembly includes a first support body, a second support body installed at the end of the first support body near the patient's oral cavity, and a flexible gasket cover engaged at the end of the first support body away from the patient's oral cavity. Elastic straps are symmetrically fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the flexible gasket cover. Two illumination blocks are symmetrically arranged on the inner sidewalls of the first support body and the expansion assembly. A controller is located on the right side of the first support body, and the controller is electrically connected to the illumination blocks. An inner extension docking ring is fixedly connected to the end of the flexible gasket cover near the expansion assembly. The first support body includes multiple annularly arranged arc-shaped follower pieces, and an elastic connector is installed between two adjacent arc-shaped follower pieces. The elastic connector is in contact with the inner sidewall of the inner extension docking ring.

[0007] In the aforementioned tonsil ring endoscope suitable for medical use, the internal space of the oral cavity is effectively expanded, supporting the endoscope body to be stably positioned. The second support body, together with the lighting block, assists in close-range observation and fine operation.

[0008] As a further improvement of this application, the inner sidewall of the inner extension docking ring is provided with multiple alignment and anti-detachment grooves, and the outer sidewall of the arc-shaped follower piece is provided with protruding anti-detachment blocks.

[0009] As a further improvement of this application, multiple protruding anti-detachment blocks and alignment anti-detachment grooves are mutually adapted, and the outer wall of the arc-shaped follower piece is fixedly connected with an anti-slip particle outer layer.

[0010] As a further improvement of this application, a disposable pad cover is provided on the outside of the expansion component, and the disposable pad cover cooperates with the anti-slip particle outer layer.

[0011] As a further improvement to this application, the inner end of the expansion component is provided with a hollow interlayer, and the inner sidewall of the hollow interlayer is fixedly connected with an anti-scalding coating.

[0012] As a further improvement to this application, the rear end of the elastic strap is fixedly connected to a flexible contact surface, and the ends of the two elastic straps away from the flexible gasket cover are bound together.

[0013] In summary, in this protocol, the first support unit of the tonsillar ring endoscope is placed in the patient's oral cavity to provide expansion and support, while the second support unit extends into the oral cavity to reach the tonsil area. Before use, medical staff use two elastic straps to secure the expansion component to the patient's head. The illumination block is turned on to allow light to pass through the hollow interlayer to the tonsil area, providing medical staff with a good field of vision. Medical staff guide the endoscope body through the hollow interlayer to the lesion area as needed, and complete the treatment operation with the help of the light source. During the process, the disposable pad cover provides isolation, and the flexible gasket cover provides cushioning and improves comfort. After the examination or treatment, medical staff remove the equipment, replace the disposable pad cover and the inner extension coupling ring, and disinfect according to regulations to ensure cleanliness and hygiene. The overall protocol can effectively expand the internal space of the oral cavity, support the endoscope body in stable position, and the second support unit, together with the illumination block, assists in close-range observation and precise operation.

[0023] The two embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] First implementation method:

[0025] Figure 1-3 , Figure 6-7 This invention illustrates a medical-grade tonsil ring endoscope, comprising an expansion assembly 1. The expansion assembly 1 includes a first support body 2, with a second support body 3 mounted at the end of the first support body 2 closest to the patient's oral cavity. A flexible gasket cover 7 is engaged at the end of the first support body 2 furthest from the patient's oral cavity. Elastic straps 8 are symmetrically fixed to the left and right ends of the flexible gasket cover 7. The elastic straps 8 are connected to the expansion assembly via a flexible adjustment buckle, allowing for easy length adjustment to accommodate different head sizes. They are made of medical-grade elastic material, such as TPU or silicone-coated fabric, ensuring smooth operation during use. For comfort and durability, two lighting blocks 4 are symmetrically arranged on the inner walls of the first support body 2 and the expansion assembly 1. A controller 19 is located on the right side of the first support body 2, mounted on the outside of the first support body 2, allowing medical staff to easily turn the lighting blocks 4 on and off with one hand or via a button. The controller 19 and the lighting blocks 4 are electrically connected, and the power source for the electrical connection is a small button battery of model CR2032. The battery is easy to replace, and the battery compartment is designed to slide open for the convenience of medical staff. The battery is quick to replace. The lighting block 4 uses high-brightness LEDs and is symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the expansion assembly, ensuring concentrated and even coverage of the tonsil area. The flexible gasket cover 7 is fixedly connected to an inner extension docking ring 9 at one end near the expansion assembly 1. The first support body 2 includes multiple annularly arranged arc-shaped follower pieces 5. An elastic connector 21 is installed between adjacent arc-shaped follower pieces 5, and the elastic connector 21 contacts the inner wall of the inner extension docking ring 9. The disposable gasket cover 6 is discarded after use and requires no further maintenance. Cleaning and disinfection are carried out to prevent cross-infection. The non-consumable parts that require heavy reusability, such as the inner extension docking ring 9, the first support body 2, and the second support body 3, are disassembled and subjected to high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization or chemical disinfection. After completion, they are wiped dry and stored. The lighting block 4 and controller 19 in sensitive parts are wiped with 75% alcohol cotton or disinfectant wipes for disinfection. The lighting block 4 and controller 19 are designed to be IPX7 waterproof and adaptable to the disinfection requirements of humid and hot environments. All components are designed to be quick to disassemble without complicated tools. An indicator arrow can be added to each reusable part for easy user identification.

[0026] The disassembly and assembly design of this device is a simplified operation of existing methods, requiring no complicated tools. Specifically, the flexible gasket cover 7 and the first support body 2 can be quickly disassembled and assembled by pressing the buckle. The inner extension mating ring 9 adopts a threaded interface and is tightly connected to the flexible gasket cover 7. The lighting block 4 is connected by a pin, which can be pulled out for individual disinfection or replacement. The elastic connector 21 is locked by a slide rail slot, ensuring smooth operation. The battery compartment cover has an embedded magnet for easy and quick opening and closing.

[0027] Figure 1-3 , Figure 6-7 The expansion assembly 1 has a hollow interlayer 16 at its inner end. The inner sidewall of the hollow interlayer 16 is fixedly connected to an anti-scalding coating 17. The rear end of the elastic strap 8 is fixedly connected to a flexible contact surface 12. The ends of the two elastic straps 8 away from the flexible gasket cover 7 are bound together.

[0028] Figure 1-3 , Figure 6-7 The diagram illustrates that the first support body 2, as part of the expansion component 1, is placed in the patient's oral cavity, primarily serving an expansion and support function. The second support body 3 is used to penetrate deeper into the oral cavity to reach the tonsil area. Medical staff use two elastic straps 8 to secure the expansion component 1 to the patient's head. Subsequently, the two sets of illumination blocks 4 in the expansion component 1 are turned on, allowing light to be evenly transmitted to the tonsil area through the hollow interlayer 16, thus providing good visibility for medical staff's observation and operation. According to actual medical needs, medical staff precisely guide the endoscope through the hollow interlayer 16 to the lesion area and complete the corresponding treatment operation with the assistance of the light source. Throughout the process, a disposable pad cover 6 works in conjunction to provide isolation, and a flexible gasket cover 7... The setup provides cushioning for the patient's external oral cavity binding area, enhancing comfort. After examination or treatment, medical staff remove the device, replace the disposable pad cover 6 and inner extension docking ring 9, and disinfect the device according to compliant disinfection procedures to ensure its cleanliness and hygiene. This solution effectively expands the internal oral cavity space and provides solid support for the stable positioning of the endoscope within the oral cavity, ensuring the smooth execution of subsequent operations. The second support body 3, which works in conjunction with the first support body 2, has a suitable slender structural design, specifically designed to precisely reach the tonsil area deep inside the oral cavity after the first support body 2 is in place. Combined with the lighting block 4, it creates an ideal visual environment, providing the necessary conditions for close observation and delicate operations.

[0029] Second implementation method:

[0030] Figure 1 , Figure 4-5The first support body 2 is shown to include multiple annularly arranged arc-shaped follower pieces 5. An elastic connector 21 is installed between two adjacent arc-shaped follower pieces 5. The elastic connector 21 is in contact with the inner sidewall of the inner extension docking ring 9. The inner sidewall of the inner extension docking ring 9 is provided with multiple alignment and anti-detachment grooves 11. The outer sidewall of the arc-shaped follower piece 5 is provided with protruding anti-detachment blocks 10. The multiple protruding anti-detachment blocks 10 and the alignment and anti-detachment grooves 11 are mutually adapted. The outer sidewall of the arc-shaped follower piece 5 is fixedly connected with an anti-slip particle outer layer 20. A disposable pad cover 6 is sleeved on the outer side of the expansion component 1. The disposable pad cover 6 and the anti-slip particle outer layer 20 cooperate with each other.

[0031] Figure 1 , Figure 4-5 Given the large diameter of the first support body 2, it can be configured as a telescopic structure consisting of multiple arc-shaped follower pieces 5 and elastic connectors 21. The elastic connectors 21 are integrally molded and directly connected to the arc-shaped follower pieces, improving overall strength and stability and making them suitable for modular production. When the expansion component 1 is placed in the patient's mouth, medical staff can hold the first support body 2, compressing the internal elastic connectors 21. At this time, the initial diameter of the first support body 2 is the same as that of the second support body 3. After the expansion component 1 is placed in the patient's mouth, it is gradually released, allowing the elastic connectors 21 to extend, thereby gradually expanding the patient's mouth. Furthermore, when the first support body 2 is connected to the flexible gasket cover 7, the alignment anti-dislodgement groove 11 and the protruding anti-dislodgement block 10 abut against each other, enhancing the stability of the connection. At the same time, the anti-slip particle outer layer 20 on the outside of the arc-shaped follower piece 5 helps to strengthen the tightness of the fit between the disposable pad cover 6 and the expansion component 1.

[0032] In light of current practical needs, the above-described embodiments adopted in this application are not limited to these. Any changes made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the concept of this application still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
