Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically a stethoscope for children. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of pediatric medical diagnosis, diagnosing pleural diseases is an important and challenging task. Pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and other pleural diseases are not uncommon in children, and if these diseases are not diagnosed promptly and accurately, they can have serious consequences for children's health.
[0003] Auscultation, as a traditional and commonly used preliminary diagnostic method, plays an important role in the diagnosis of thoracic diseases in children. However, existing stethoscopes have many problems when used for the diagnosis of thoracic diseases in children. On the one hand, due to the differences in physiological structure between children and adults, children have smaller chest cavities and different respiratory characteristics, making it difficult for existing stethoscopes to accurately capture subtle changes in breath sounds and specific signs related to diseases such as pneumothorax and pleural effusion, resulting in poor diagnostic results and a high risk of misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis.
[0004] On the other hand, when doctors use a stethoscope to diagnose children, the children need to cooperate by performing specific actions such as continuous exhalation in order to more accurately determine the type of disease. However, children often find it difficult to cooperate for extended periods due to their young age, limited cognitive abilities, and fear of medical examinations. Furthermore, existing stethoscopes generally lack the necessary components to effectively motivate children to exhale continuously, making the diagnostic process extremely difficult. This not only increases the diagnostic challenge for doctors but also reduces diagnostic efficiency and accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a stethoscope for children, which solves the problem that existing stethoscopes generally lack corresponding components that can effectively motivate children to continue exhaling.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a stethoscope for children, comprising a stethoscope body, an elastic element, and an excitation component;
[0007] The elastic element is mounted on the stethoscope body, and the excitation component is connected to the elastic element to excite the child to perform a continuous exhalation action;
[0008] The excitation component includes a connecting rope connected to the elastic member. An elastic clamp is installed at one end of the connecting rope away from the elastic member. A connecting plate is horizontally installed on the elastic clamp. A fixing clip is provided on the side of the connecting plate away from the elastic clamp.
[0009] The paper is held inside the fixing clamp.
[0010] Furthermore, the connecting rope is made of nylon.
[0011] Furthermore, the upper cross-section of the elastic clamp is C-shaped.
[0012] Furthermore, both ends of the elastic clamp are bent in opposite directions to form an arc-shaped bend.
[0013] Furthermore, the elastic clamp is made of an elastic metal material.
[0014] Furthermore, the angle between the paper and the connecting plate is ninety degrees.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This children's stethoscope, through the design of its stimulation components, can effectively motivate children to exhale continuously, solving the problem of low cooperation among children in the diagnosis of thoracic diseases using traditional stethoscopes.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-2 In this embodiment, a stethoscope for children is used to encourage children to exhale continuously.
[0022] Specifically, it includes a stethoscope body 1, an elastic element 2, and an excitation component 3; the elastic element 2 is installed on the stethoscope body 1, and the excitation component 3 is connected to the elastic element 2 to excite the child to perform a continuous exhalation action.
[0023] In actual use, the design of the stimulation component 3 can effectively motivate children to exhale continuously, solving the problem of low cooperation among children in the diagnosis of thoracic diseases using traditional stethoscopes. At the same time, the interactive design of the paper 305 increases the fun of the examination, reduces children's fear of medical examinations, and improves the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis.
[0024] Specifically, the excitation component 3 includes a connecting rope 301 connected to the elastic member 2. The connecting rope 301 is made of nylon. An elastic clamp 302 is installed at the end of the connecting rope 301 away from the elastic member 2. A connecting plate 303 is horizontally installed on the elastic clamp 302. A fixing clip 304 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 303 away from the elastic clamp 302. A piece of paper 305 is held inside the fixing clip 304.
[0025] In actual setup, the elastic clamp 302 is connected by the connecting rope 301, thereby integrating the elastic clamp 302 with the stethoscope body 1. The integrated design makes the entire stethoscope more convenient to carry and operate. Doctors do not need to repeatedly adjust the positional relationship of each component during use, which improves work efficiency and provides children with a more comfortable and smoother examination experience.
[0026] In actual use, the elastic clamp 302 is gently placed on the child's head, and the position is adjusted to ensure that the paper piece 305 is at a suitable distance in front of the child's mouth. Then, the doctor guides the child to look at the paper piece 305 and blow on it. While blowing on the paper piece 305, the child will exhale continuously. At this time, the doctor listens to the child's breathing sounds in the chest cavity through the stethoscope body 1. Because the child cooperates by exhaling continuously, the doctor can more clearly capture changes in breathing sounds related to chest diseases, such as abnormal breathing sounds in pneumothorax, and weakened or enhanced breathing sounds in pleural effusion, thereby more accurately judging the health status of the child's chest cavity.
[0027] In actual use, the elastic clamp 302 is worn on the child's head. Its upper cross-section is C-shaped, which makes it easy to put on and take off while being stably fixed to the child's head. Both ends of the elastic clamp 302 are bent in opposite directions to form arc-shaped bends, which prevents the clamp edges from scratching the child's skin. In addition, the elastic clamp 302 is made of elastic metal material, which has good elastic recovery ability and durability. It is not easy to deform during long-term use and can always maintain a stable fixing effect.
[0028] Furthermore, the connecting plate 303 is horizontally mounted on the elastic clamp 302, providing a stable mounting platform for the fixing clip 304. At the same time, it ensures that the angle between the paper piece 305 and the connecting plate 303 is ninety degrees, ensuring that the paper piece 305 fixed by the fixing clip 304 can be positioned in a suitable position in front of the child's mouth, making it convenient for the child to blow the paper piece 305 when exhaling.
