Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of medical device technology, specifically to an examination bed. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the prone ultrasound equipment used for breast disease screening and the examination beds used in gynecological examinations are typically single-function, independent devices with significant positional limitations. Traditional prone ultrasound equipment usually only supports single-position examinations with the breast inserted through the cup, lacking the ability to be rotated for other examinations. Similarly, the lithotomy position examination bed used for gynecological examinations is relatively fixed and incompatible with other types of examinations, such as breast examinations. To meet the needs of multi-positional examinations, existing technologies require departments to equip themselves with different examination beds, increasing the financial burden and occupying considerable clinical space. Utility Model Content
[0003] Therefore, this utility model aims to solve the problems in the existing technology that require departments to be equipped with different examination beds in order to meet the examination needs of multiple body positions, which increases the economic burden and occupies a lot of clinical space, and thus provides an examination bed.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] This utility model provides an examination bed, comprising: a main body; a bed board foldably disposed at the head end of the main body, the bed board having a clearance through hole on its surface; a scanning cup disposed on the main body and located below the bed board, the opening of the scanning cup being directly opposite the clearance through hole; and two foot supports spaced apart at the tail end of the main body; or, one foot support on each of two parallel sides of the main body perpendicular to the bed board; when performing a prone position examination, the surface of the bed board is parallel to the top surface of the main body; when performing a lithotomy position examination, the bed board is folded upwards and inclined relative to the top surface of the main body.
[0006] Furthermore, the tail end or side of the main body is provided with a socket adapted to the foot support, and the foot support is pluggably disposed in the socket.
[0007] Furthermore, the main body has a hollowed-out area at one end where the bed board is located, and the bed board is located above the hollowed-out area; the scanning cup is located within the hollowed-out area.
[0008] Furthermore, the periphery of the relief through hole is recessed inward relative to the surface of the bed board to form a groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the groove is a smooth curved surface.
[0010] Furthermore, at least one of the two parallel sides of the main body that are perpendicular to the bed board is provided with several standard equipment interfaces.
[0011] Furthermore, the position of the standard device interface along the height direction of the main body does not exceed the foot support.
[0012] Furthermore, the bed board is rotatably mounted on the main body via a pivot and a pivot seat.
[0013] The technical solution of this utility model has the following advantages:
[0014] The examination bed provided by this utility model has a foldable bed board at the head end of the main body, with clearance holes on the surface of the bed board. Below the bed board is a scanning cup with its opening directly opposite the clearance holes. When the patient is in a prone position, the surface of the bed board is parallel to the top surface of the main body, allowing the user to lie prone on the main body and insert the breast into the scanning cup through the clearance holes for examination. Furthermore, two foot supports are spaced apart at the tail end of the main body; alternatively, one foot support is located on each of two parallel sides of the main body perpendicular to the bed board. When performing gynecological examinations, the bed board is folded upwards and tilted relative to the top surface of the main body. In this position, the user can lie on the main body with their back against the bed board and place their feet on the two foot supports to maintain the lithotomy position, ensuring patient safety and ease of operation for the doctor. This design allows for examinations in multiple positions with just one examination bed, eliminating the need for different examination beds in the department, reducing the economic burden, avoiding the occupation of excessive clinical space, and improving space utilization and medical resource efficiency.
[0015] The examination bed in this invention features an ergonomic design that enhances patient comfort. The smooth, rounded bottom surface of the grooves on the bed board effectively alleviates pressure and discomfort during the examination, increasing patient tolerance and cooperation, and improving the overall patient experience.
[0016] The examination bed in this invention supports modular equipment expansion, improving clinical adaptability. It is designed with multiple standard equipment interfaces on the main body, supporting the rapid access and replacement of various examination probes, imaging modules or other auxiliary equipment, meeting diverse examination needs and future equipment upgrade scalability.
[0017] The examination bed in this utility model has a lithotomy position anchoring structure, which is convenient to convert and safe and stable. By setting foot supports on both sides or the rear end of the bed, the bed board can be quickly converted into a stable gynecological examination platform after being flipped, ensuring the patient's position is safe and the doctor's operation is convenient.
[0018] The examination bed in this invention is multi-functional, saving costs and space. Through its integrated design, the device enables multiple examination tasks on the same platform, reducing the economic burden of repeated purchases of examination beds for medical institutions and effectively saving clinical space. It is suitable for various comprehensive or space-constrained medical institutions. Moreover, it can improve the efficiency of clinical processes and the utilization rate of equipment. Medical staff can complete multiple projects on the same examination platform without the need for patients to move repeatedly or change examination environments, significantly improving examination efficiency and equipment usage frequency, and optimizing medical process scheduling.

[0027] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides an examination bed, including: a main body 1, which can be a box-type structure; and a bed board 2, which is foldable and disposed at the head end of the main body 1. For example, in the initial state, the surface of the bed board 2 is parallel to the top surface of the main body 1 and both are on the same horizontal plane. When folded, the bed board 2 folds upward. At this time, the bed board 2 can be folded to a state of inclination relative to the top surface of the main body 1 as needed. The specific included angle between the two can be determined according to different patient body shapes. The surface of the bed board 2 is provided with a clearance through hole 201, for example, the clearance through hole 201 can be a circular hole. A scanning cup 3 is disposed on the main body 1 and located below the bed board 2. The opening of the scanning cup 3 is positioned directly opposite the clearance through hole 201. When the patient lies on the main body 1 with their head facing the direction of the bed board 2, the breast can be inserted into the scanning cup 3 through the clearance through hole 201. The main body 1 has two foot supports 4 spaced apart at its tail end; or, the main body 1 has one foot support 4 on each of two parallel sides perpendicular to the bed board 2. For example, the foot supports 4 can be the existing foot supports 4 used in equipment for inspection in the lithotomy position. The structure and purpose of this foot support 4 are existing technology and will not be described in detail here. When the inspection is performed in the prone position, the surface of the bed board 2 is parallel to the top surface of the main body 1. When the inspection is performed in the lithotomy position, the bed board 2 is folded upward and tilted relative to the top surface of the main body 1.
[0029] The examination bed provided in this embodiment has a foldable bed board 2 at the head end of the main body 1. The surface of the bed board 2 has a clearance hole 201. Below the bed board 2 is a scanning cup 3 with an opening directly opposite the clearance hole 201. When the patient is in a prone position for examination, the surface of the bed board 2 is parallel to the top surface of the main body 1. The user can lie on the main body 1 and place the breast into the scanning cup 3 through the clearance hole 201 for examination. Moreover, two foot supports 4 are spaced apart at the tail end of the main body 1; or, one foot support 4 is on each of the two parallel sides of the main body 1 that are perpendicular to the bed board 2. When performing gynecological examinations, the bed board 2 is folded upwards and tilted relative to the top surface of the main body 1. At this time, the user can lie on the main body 1 with their back against the bed board 2 and place both feet on the two foot supports 4 to maintain the lithotomy position for examination, ensuring patient safety and convenient operation for the doctor. This setup allows for examinations in multiple positions to be conducted with just one examination bed, eliminating the need for different examination beds in the department, thus reducing the financial burden and avoiding the occupation of excessive clinical space. Furthermore, the examination process does not require patients to move repeatedly or change the examination environment, which helps improve examination efficiency.
[0030] The main body 1 has a socket 6 on its tail end or side that is compatible with the foot support 4, and the foot support 4 is detachably installed in the socket 6. This design allows the foot support 4 to be removed when the lithotomy position is not required for the examination, preventing the patient from being bumped or injured by the foot support 4 when the patient is in a prone position for the examination.
[0031] The main body 1 has a hollowed-out area 5 at one end of the bed board 2. For example, the hollowed-out area 5 can occupy about one-third of the main body 1 along its length. The bed board 2 is located above the hollowed-out area 5, and the scanning cup 3 is located within the hollowed-out area 5. For example, the bed board 2 can be installed on the side of the main body 1 located in the hollowed-out area 5, or the scanning cup 3 can be installed on the top surface of the main body 1 located in the hollowed-out area 5. The bed board 2 is rotatably mounted on the main body 1 via a pivot and a pivot seat. For example, a pivot seat can be provided on the side of the main body 1 located in the hollowed-out area 5, and pivots can be provided at both ends of the bed board 2, with the ends of the pivots away from the bed board 2 inserted into the pivot seats. For example, when the bed board 2 is folded, a support rod and support hole structure similar to that used in the prior art for supporting a car hood when it is opened can be used to support the bed board 2. For example, a drive component with suspension damping can be used to drive the pivot, and when the drive component drives the pivot to fold the bed board 2 into place, it can be suspended to prevent the bed board 2 from returning to its original position. Alternatively, other existing structures that can help the bed board 2 suspend after folding can be used. These should be known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0032] The periphery of the clearance through-hole 201 is recessed inward relative to the surface of the bed board 2 to form a groove 202. For example, the groove 202 can be circular, and the groove 202 and the clearance through-hole 201 can be concentrically arranged. The bottom surface of the groove 202 is a smooth curved surface. For example, the bottom surface of the groove 202 can be spherical, arc-shaped, or other curved surfaces. This design allows the curved surface to prevent compression of the patient's ribs and scapula when the patient is prone, thus conforming to ergonomic design.
[0033] At least one of the two parallel sides of the main body 1 perpendicular to the bed board 2 is provided with a plurality of standard device interfaces 7. For example, the standard device interface 7 can be an ultrasound plug assembly, which can be used to connect different ultrasound probes, such as probes for scanning the armpit, probes for scanning the thyroid gland, transvaginal ultrasound probes, etc. The position of the standard device interface 7 along the height direction of the main body 1 does not exceed the foot support 4. For example, four standard device interfaces 7 can be arranged at intervals along the length direction of the main body 1 to support the rapid access and replacement of various examination probes, imaging modules or other auxiliary equipment, to meet diverse examination needs and future equipment upgrade scalability.
[0034] In summary, this application provides an examination bed with a reasonable structure, flexible examination position, and good expandability. It can meet the positioning and stability requirements of prone breast examination, support other forms of medical examination such as lithotomy position after being flipped, and also has an expansion interface design for connecting with various diagnostic and treatment equipment.
[0035] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
