Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of education, and in particular to a patient education kit for physical specimens of urinary system stones. Background Technology

[0002] Urinary tract stones are a common and frequently occurring disease worldwide, and their incidence is on the rise. The analysis of the composition of stones is of great significance for guiding patients to prevent recurrence, develop individualized treatment plans, and predict prognosis. Stones with different compositions (such as calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, uric acid, magnesium ammonium phosphate, cystine, etc.) have significant differences in their formation causes, hardness, appearance characteristics, and preventive measures.

[0003] In clinical practice, patient education is a key aspect of the comprehensive management of urolithiasis. Allowing patients to intuitively understand the physical characteristics of their stones, such as shape, structure, color, and texture, plays an irreplaceable role in improving their understanding of the causes of the disease, recognizing the importance of stone composition analysis, and enhancing their adherence to preventive measures (such as dietary adjustments, drinking habits, and drug treatment).

[0004] However, the following problems are commonly found in clinical practice when showing and explaining the composition of stones to patients: 1. The presentation methods are abstract and indirect. Doctors usually rely on verbal descriptions, written reports, or two-dimensional pictures to explain to patients. This method lacks intuitiveness, and patients find it difficult to form a concrete understanding of the physical shape, surface texture, and internal structure of the stones. 2. Many key identification features of stones (such as crystal morphology, layered structure, surface depressions, or edges) require magnification to be clearly identified. Existing presentation methods usually lack convenient and integrated magnification observation tools. Patients and doctors need to find and use handheld magnifying glasses or microscopes, which is cumbersome and provides a poor experience. Utility Model Content

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the implementations of the base model disclosed below.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Depend on Figures 1 to 5 The device includes a base plate 1 with vertical axis, a fixed column 2 coaxially mounted on the upper end of the base plate 1, a display box 3 with an upward opening coaxially rotatably connected to the fixed column 2, a plurality of arc-shaped fixed clamping plates 4 evenly distributed along its circumference inside the display box 3, a plurality of movable clamping plates 5 corresponding one-to-one with the fixed clamping plates 4 inside the display box 3, a rotating groove 6 opened on the upper end of the fixed column 2, a connecting rod 7 hinged in the rotating groove 6, and a magnifying glass 8 at the front end of the connecting rod 7.

[0025] In order to move the movable clamping plate 5, a plurality of sliding grooves 9 corresponding to the movable clamping plate 5 are provided on the bottom surface of the display box 3. A movable rod 10 fixed to the movable clamping plate 5 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 9. The inner end of the movable rod 10 is connected to the display box 3 via a spring 11.

[0026] To facilitate pulling the movable rod 10, the free end of the movable rod 10 passes through the display box 3 and is provided with a pull plate 12.

[0027] To facilitate the separation of the display box 3, the display box 3 is provided with a plurality of partitions 13 corresponding one-to-one with the movable clamping plate.

[0028] To facilitate fixing the display box 3, the display box 3 is provided with multiple hemispherical limiting grooves 14, and the rear end of the fixing post 2 is provided with a front-to-back axial receiving groove 15. The bottom surface of the receiving groove 15 is connected by a compression spring to a limiting post 16 that can be inserted into the limiting groove 14.

[0029] To enhance the fixation effect, the movable clamping plate 5 and the fixed clamping plate 4 are respectively provided with anti-slip layers.

[0030] To facilitate the protection of the specimen, a cover plate 17 is detachably connected to the upper end of the display box 3.

[0031] In use, the magnifying glass 8 is first flipped upwards, causing the connecting rod 7 to swing upwards within the rotating groove 6. After swinging at a certain angle, the magnifying glass 8 is positioned above the fixed post 2, thus avoiding obstruction when opening the cover plate 17. Then, the cover plate 17 is removed from the fixed post 2, and one of the pull plates 12 is pulled forward. The pull plate 12 causes the moving rod 10 to move forward, which in turn causes the front moving clamp 5 to move forward and stretch the spring 11 forward. The moving rod 10 moves the front moving clamp 5 forward a certain distance and then stops. At this point, one of the stone samples to be displayed is placed between the front moving clamp 5 and the fixed clamp 4. Then, the front pull plate 12 is released. Due to the restoring force of the spring 11, the front moving clamp 5 moves backwards. After moving backwards a certain distance, the moving clamp 5 clamps and fixes the stone sample.

[0032] At this point, the fixation and positioning of one of the stone samples is completed. Repeat the above operation, pull the pull plate 12 in different directions and place different types of samples between the moving clamp 5 and the fixed clamp 4. Release the pull plate 12. Due to the restoring force of the spring 11, the samples are clamped and fixed. After all the samples are fixed, put the cover plate 17 back on to protect the samples. Then, swing the magnifying glass 8 forward to return it to its initial position. At this time, the magnifying glass 8 is located directly above one of the clamped stone samples. The patient can then use the magnifying glass 8 to observe the characteristics of the stone samples in detail.

[0033] After observing one type of stone specimen, rotate the display box 3. This causes multiple stone specimens inside the display box 3 to rotate, simultaneously causing the limiting post 16 to rotate out of the limiting groove 14. After rotating out of the limiting groove 14, the limiting post 16 is compressed into the receiving groove 15. Continue rotating the display box 3. After rotating 90 degrees, the stone specimen originally located on the right side will rotate to below the magnifying glass 8. At this point, the magnifying glass 8 can be used to observe this type of sample. At the same time, the limiting post 16 is reinserted into the corresponding limiting groove 14 due to the restoring force of the compression spring, thus achieving fixed positioning. This process is repeated. When it is necessary to observe a certain type of stone, simply rotate the display box 3 to rotate the specimen inside the display box 3 to be directly below the magnifying glass 8.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the display box, fixing column, movable clamp, and fixed clamp provided can realize the intuitive and detailed display of the stone specimen, allowing patients to understand the physical shape, surface texture, and internal structure of the stone in detail. At the same time, it can fix and limit the stone to prevent it from rolling in the display box. The magnifying glass provided allows patients to identify the key identification features of the stone in detail. This structure is simple, novel in concept, convenient to use, and highly practical.

[0035] It should be noted that, depending on the implementation needs, the various components described in the embodiments of this utility model can be split into more components, or two or more components or parts of components can be combined into new components to achieve the purpose of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0036] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
