Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical devices, and in particular to a multifunctional physical examination device. Background Technology

[0002] Physical examination is a crucial and essential component of disease diagnosis for doctors, aiming to achieve early diagnosis. In emergency situations, physical examination is even more critical; time is of the essence. It helps doctors quickly assess the patient's condition and implement appropriate emergency measures promptly. However, current physical examination techniques suffer from several problems: The numerous examination instruments, such as stethoscopes, percussion hammers, flashlights, and blood pressure monitors, require medical staff to carry multiple instruments to the child's bedside during routine examinations, which is inconvenient; carrying multiple instruments in pockets increases the burden on medical staff, making it difficult to find or lose auxiliary equipment; instruments need to be retrieved before the examination and are easily lost at the patient's bedside afterward, wasting precious emergency time; and the repeated retrieval and searching of instruments, especially for critically ill patients, can lead to wasted precious resuscitation time.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN219763361U discloses a multifunctional stethoscope for use in mobile clinics in rural and pastoral areas. It features a visual acuity disc and an inverted U-shaped bracket on the back of the stethoscope head. A combined diagnostic device, including a sensory measuring ring, a percussion hammer, and forceps with double-gauge, is mounted on the back of the stethoscope head via a composite elastic tube clamp and the inverted U-shaped bracket. A small flashlight is mounted on the end of the long sound-conducting tube connected to the three-way sound-conducting connector via a composite elastic tube clamp. This design facilitates the carrying of medical personnel in rural and pastoral areas for patient examinations, improving diagnosis and treatment efficiency and enhancing the work efficiency of mobile clinics. Similarly, Chinese patent CN201743699U discloses a multifunctional medical stethoscope that integrates a stethoscope, flashlight, ruler, percussion hammer, and sensory testing needle into one unit. This greatly facilitates clinical patient examinations and outpatient visits for physicians, saving time and effort and reducing the workload of medical staff.

[0004] However, existing technologies lack sufficient support for functions that are increasingly important in modern clinical diagnosis, such as pupil detection and precise timing. Furthermore, in the process of multi-functional integration, all functional modules are concentrated on the chest piece and protrude from the chest piece structure, causing inconvenience for medical staff when conducting physical examinations and affecting work efficiency. There is still room for improvement in the complexity and ease of operation of the equipment. Utility Model Content
