Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical equipment technology, specifically to a gynecological examination chair. Background Technology
[0002] During a gynecological examination, patients typically undergo a series of procedures, including a routine vaginal discharge test, cervical examination, and colposcopy. While each individual examination is relatively short, the combined time for all procedures can be quite long, necessitating the use of a gynecological examination chair. A gynecological examination chair is a medical device consisting of a base, backrest, leg rest, armrests, and headrest. This device is designed to provide stable support for the patient, ensuring a comfortable and safe position during the examination.
[0003] However, although existing gynecological examination chairs provide good support in many ways, their headrests are usually fixed and have a limited range of adaptability. For patients of different heights, their heads and necks may not be well supported during the examination, causing discomfort. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a gynecological examination chair that not only allows for adjustment of the headrest position to match patients of different heights and has a wider range of adaptability, but also allows for adjustment by the patient themselves, thereby quickly adjusting the headrest to a position that the patient feels comfortable with.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a gynecological examination chair, including a support, a base set above the support and a backrest tilted on one side of the base, leg rests on both sides of the base, armrests on both sides of the backrest, a headrest adjustable on the upper side of the backrest for supporting the patient's head and neck, and an adjustment structure for adjusting the position of the headrest along the length of the backrest on one side of the backrest, the adjustment structure being located below the armrest.
[0006] The working principle of this system is as follows: When undergoing the examination, the patient first lies supine on the gynecological examination chair with both legs placed on the two leg rests, both forearms placed on the two armrests, and the back of the head resting on the headrest. If the patient feels that the position of the headrest is not suitable, the medical staff or the patient can adjust the position of the headrest by using the adjustment structure located under the armrests to adapt to their own height.
[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this solution are as follows: the headrest position is adjustable, which can adapt to patients of different heights and has a wider range of applications, avoiding the discomfort caused by the headrest not providing adequate support during the examination; the adjustment structure is located below the armrest, allowing patients to adjust the headrest themselves or have it adjusted by medical staff, making it easy for patients to quickly adjust the headrest to a comfortable position.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first groove is formed on one side of the chair back along its width direction, the first groove being located below the armrest. A second groove communicating with the first groove is formed on the upper side of the chair back along its length direction. The adjustment structure includes an operating rod and a connecting rod arranged parallel to the chair back. The operating rod and the connecting rod are arranged perpendicularly to each other and are respectively located in the first groove and the second groove. One end of the operating rod extends out of the first groove and can slide along it. The operating rod is provided with a limiting part for limiting its movement. One end of the connecting rod extends out of the second groove and is connected to the bottom of the headrest.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: When the patient needs to adjust the position of the headrest, he / she holds the operating rod and slides it along the first groove. At this time, the connecting rod and the headrest move with the sliding of the operating rod. After the headrest is moved to the appropriate position, the operating rod is limited by the limiting part, thereby limiting the headrest and preventing it from shifting during the examination. This would not only cause discomfort to the patient, but also affect the examination process.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, multiple slots are symmetrically arranged on the opposite side walls of the first groove, and the multiple slots are evenly spaced. The limiting part includes elastic blocks arranged on opposite sides of the end of the operating rod away from the connecting rod. The two elastic blocks can be engaged with the slots arranged on the side walls of the first groove respectively.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this solution are as follows: When the position of the headrest needs to be adjusted, pinch the two elastic blocks on the operating rod to disengage them from the slots, and then slide the operating rod along the first groove. When the operating rod moves into place, release your hand, and the elastic blocks will re-engage into the slots at different positions to limit the position of the operating rod. The structure is simple and convenient for patients to perform adjustment and limiting operations.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the headrest is detachably connected to the chair back via a connecting rod.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this solution are: the headrest and connecting rod are detachable, making it easy to remove the headrest from the chair back for cleaning and disinfection.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper side of the end of the connecting rod away from the operating rod is provided with a first locking block extending from the second groove, and a second locking block is provided on the upper side of the first locking block. The first locking block and the second locking block are in a cross shape, and the bottom of the headrest is provided with a connecting groove for engaging with the first locking block and the second locking block.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this solution are: the first and second locking blocks are cross-shaped and engage with the connecting groove at the bottom of the headrest, which can limit the headrest along the length and width of the chair back, making its position more stable.
