[0028] 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.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a laryngeal lens locking device that is easy to install and disassemble includes a handle 3, a connector 9, and a laryngeal lens 1. The laryngeal lens 1 includes a tubular head and a curved tail. The connector 9 is assembled inside the handle 3, and the handle 3 is inserted into the head. A stepped hole is opened on one side of the handle 3. A keycap 2, an elastic diaphragm 7, and a spring 8 are arranged sequentially from the outside to the inside in the stepped hole. The edge of the keycap 2 is provided with a skirt 6, which abuts against the stepped surface of the stepped hole. This can limit the keycap 2, allowing the keycap 2 to be moved only axially. A through hole 10 is opened on the laryngeal lens 1. The spring 8 pushes one end of the keycap 2 into the through hole 10 through the elastic diaphragm 7.

[0030] In its normal state, spring 8 is not compressed, and the height of keycap 2 is higher than the plane of handle 3. When installing the laryngeal lens 1, press keycap 2 to apply pressure to spring 8. The height of keycap 2 is lower than the plane of handle 3, allowing laryngeal lens 1 to be easily installed. After installation, release keycap 2, spring 8 returns to its original state, keycap 2 pops out and locks laryngeal lens 1, completing the locking process.

[0031] Detailed operating steps

[0032] 1. Install laryngeal blade:

[0033] Align the tubular head of the laryngeal blade 1 with the insertion end of the handle 3, ensuring that the through hole 10 on the laryngeal blade 1 is aligned with the stepped hole of the handle 3. Press the keycap 2 with your finger, causing it to move axially inward. At this time, the spring 8 is compressed, and the height of the keycap 2 is lower than the plane of the handle 3. With the keycap 2 pressed down, insert the tubular head of the laryngeal blade 1 into the handle 3 until the through hole 10 of the laryngeal blade 1 is aligned with the front end of the keycap 2. Release the keycap 2; the spring 8 returns to its original shape under the action of elastic force, pushing the keycap 2 outward, so that the front end of the keycap 2 is inserted into the through hole 10, completing the locking of the laryngeal blade 1.

[0034] 2. Remove the laryngeal blade:

[0035] Press keycap 2 repeatedly until its front end exits through hole 10. While keycap 2 is pressed down, gently pull out laryngeal blade 1 to complete disassembly.

[0036] Furthermore, a flange 5 is provided around the outer edge of the elastic diaphragm 7, and a groove is provided on the inner wall surface of the handle 3, into which the flange 5 is inserted. This ensures that the elastic diaphragm 7 will not shift during assembly, while also improving the sealing performance of the device and preventing dust or liquid from entering the stepped hole.

[0037] Furthermore, a boss 11 is fixedly provided on the elastic diaphragm 7, which is inserted into the spring 8 and is used to position the spring 8. This design ensures that the spring 8 remains stable during compression and extension, preventing the spring 8 from shifting or tilting within the stepped hole, thereby ensuring the reliability of the locking device.

[0038] Furthermore, a hemispherical recess is provided on the end face of the keycap 2. This structural design ensures that the elastic diaphragm 7 fits tightly against the keycap 2, reducing friction between them and extending their service life.

[0039] Furthermore, a chamfer is provided on one edge of the keycap 2. The chamfer design not only guides the keycap 2 to be smoothly inserted into the through hole 10, but also reduces wear on the throat lens 1 during installation, improving the durability of the device.

[0040] Furthermore, a chamfer is provided on the outer opening of the through hole 10. This makes pressing the keycap 2 smoother during installation and reduces operating resistance.

[0041] Furthermore, the elastic diaphragm 7 is shaped like a cap-shaped frustum, thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges. This design allows the elastic diaphragm 7 to evenly transmit the elastic force of the spring 8 when subjected to force, while deforming at the thinner edges to provide a clear tactile feedback, making it easier for users to perceive the pressing position of the keycap 2.

[0042] The embodiments described in this specification are merely examples of implementations of the inventive concept. The scope of protection of this utility model should not be considered as limited to the specific forms described in the embodiments. The scope of protection of this utility model also extends to equivalent technical means that can be conceived by those skilled in the art based on the inventive concept.
