Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, and in particular to a pediatric examination probe device. Background Technology

[0002] In pediatric clinical diagnosis, doctors often need to carefully observe areas such as the child's mouth, ear canal, and nasal cavity. These areas are usually deep and poorly lit, and traditional lighting tools such as ordinary flashlights or forehead mirrors have many limitations. For example, ordinary flashlights cannot flexibly adjust the beam angle and distance, making it difficult to accurately illuminate deep cavities; while forehead mirrors provide a stable light source, doctors need to maintain a fixed posture for extended periods, increasing operational fatigue, and they are difficult to use effectively when children are uncooperative. Furthermore, traditional lighting tools are often not designed for children's physiological characteristics; the brightness of the light source is not adjustable, and the illumination range is fixed, which may cause excessive light to irritate children's eyes or affect diagnostic accuracy due to insufficient brightness. Therefore, this invention proposes a detection device specifically designed for pediatric examinations to solve the problems of limited illumination angle and inconvenient operation in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology, this utility model provides a pediatric examination probe device with a practical structure that is easy to promote.

[0025] As shown in the attached diagram,

[0026] A pediatric examination probe includes a cylindrical body 100 and an illumination mechanism 200.

[0027] 1. Cylinder Mechanism 100

[0028] Housing 101: Serves as the main support structure of the device. It is hollow inside and is used to house components such as the telescopic joint 102. The outer side of the housing 101 is equipped with a non-slip corrugated grip. It adopts an ergonomic design, and the surface texture increases the friction when gripping, making it easier for doctors to hold the device stably during operation. It is especially suitable for long-term examination scenarios and reduces hand fatigue.

[0029] Telescopic joint 102: Located inside the housing 101, it consists of at least two nestable and sliding hollow cylindrical sections. In the retracted state, adjacent sections are completely nested within the housing 101, making the overall device compact and easy to carry and store. In the extended state, adjacent sections are fixed by limiting buckles, allowing the overall length of the device to be adjusted according to inspection needs, thereby changing the distance between the lamp head 104 and the inspection area to meet the illumination distance requirements for inspections at different depths. When not in use, it can be retracted into the housing for easy storage.

[0030] The universal flexible hose 103 connects the bottom of the telescopic joint 102 to the lamp head 104 and is made of medical-grade silicone wrapped around a metal core. Medical-grade silicone has good biocompatibility, is safe and non-toxic, and will not irritate children's skin. The metal core allows the universal flexible hose 103 to be bent and shaped arbitrarily, with a bending angle retention rate of ≥95%, enabling precise positioning of the lamp head 104's irradiation direction and adapting to the complex angle requirements of different examination sites on children.

[0031] Lamp head 104: Installed on the top of the universal flexible hose 103, with an LED light inside.

[0032] 2. Lighting mechanism 200

[0033] Power module: Provides power to the device. It can use rechargeable batteries or dry cell batteries, with rechargeable batteries being preferred to reduce operating costs and environmental pollution. The power module is installed inside the housing 101 and is electrically connected to the microcontroller and LED lights to ensure a stable power supply.

[0034] Microcontroller: Integrated within housing 101, it is the control core of the device and is electrically connected to the LED light, power module, and switch 201. The microcontroller can control the LED light to achieve three brightness levels. Through a preset control program, it switches between different brightness levels according to the doctor's operation instructions to meet the light brightness requirements of different examination scenarios.

[0035] Switch 201: Located on the outside of housing 101, it is a touch button with a waterproof silicone layer on the surface.

[0036] When a pediatric examination is required, hold the non-slip corrugated handle of the housing 101 and slowly pull the telescopic joint 102 out of the housing 101 according to the needs of the examination site, so that the limiting buckles of the adjacent sections are engaged and the unfolded length of the telescopic joint 102 is fixed.

[0037] By bending the universal hose 103, the illumination direction of the lamp head 104 is adjusted so that it is aimed at the area to be inspected. Because the universal hose 103 has excellent shape retention properties, the required bending angle can be easily maintained, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments.

[0038] Touch the switch 201 on the outside of the housing 101 to turn on the LED light. The first time you press the switch 201, the LED light will illuminate at its lowest brightness level; press it again to switch to medium brightness; press it a third time to switch to the highest brightness; and press it a fourth time to turn off the LED light. Select the appropriate brightness level according to your examination needs to ensure clear illumination of the area being examined, while avoiding excessive light that could irritate children.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model patent and are not intended to limit this utility model patent. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model patent should be included within the protection scope of this utility model patent.
